Today I take a look at the cheapest ebike/scooter being sold on Amazon! the seller on Amazon shipped this and it arrive about 3 days after order, and I surprisingly like it a lot!
I enjoy your video's. I'm a 74 year old guy who's been riding Harley's' since I was 14 and I'm still riding them. This "electric" stuff is cool but I don't think I'll ever own one. But, I enjoy learning about something new.
Wait until you see our electric CB750 running this coming week! May change your mind!
See if you can test ride one. Might be fun.
good news, harley makes an electric motorcycle lol
@@bHBullet Good news for who? It's $30K. 😱
I’m right there with u,55 ,335 ,6’2’’ ,,think I will stick to what will carry my big ass 😂
The unplugged connector may be wrong to the consumer, but it prevents the throttle from being turned accidentally during shipping and handling; since the wheel got locked up inside the package. Usually, the battery always had some preserved power before shipping.
Ah.
But if it was unplugged on purpose then why did the company not say that when he contacted them?
@maynardssoblue3839 Probably not for how cheap it is lol. Too low end to have all the higher techy items built in. Bike looks super basic for a kid so theres no key likely
Exactly it is not "broken" like this guy claimed.
Keep in mind when shipping bikes like this, they generally ship it to a distribution hub near you in bulk. It is always recommended to disconnect the battery for safety reasons to prevent fire and that’s what probably happened here. Poor manufacturing guidelines is probably the issue as Chinese companies most likely have different electrical guidelines. The fact that the technical support for that bike said that is FUBAB. Also Costco sells the very same type.
my daughters mom and i live together and we havent actually been in a relationship in 2 years but she has nerve damage in her hands from when she had stomach cancer and having gone through chemo. she was recently diagnosed with cervical cancer and i think something even this simple could make her feel more independent. mind you, shes a great mom and we do any and everything to make sure that our daughter is happy and healthy
This deserves a like at minimum
Do you need attention?
@@devonnoneedtotrainlarratt7629 do you want me to make a video confirming that nothing of which i said is even exaggerated?
@@BeauBassfaceBowie do you need my approval?
Devon is a troll.
Sellers in China will often say you need to ship it back to them at your own cost but actually if Amazon allows returns, you just go through the regular process and Amazon will collect it and do whatever needs to be done.
I agree. This is specially true if you buy from an american importer. They usually offer to do the entire process themselves. This is one of the reasons it is a good idea to buy from these people. Just check the price, some charge more than others but you will most likely be able to find the product at a fair price...with added security.
@Leroy Jones What actually happens is that Amazon sell returned items by the pallet to resellers.
that is true, I can confirm that. I actually returned one to Amazon and I did not have any problems. Amazon's return is awesome.
@@RamgXP who is tony
Most items sold by CCP CHINA is rubbish . Thanks for giving MONEY to the Enemy
Looking at the bike, and the price, my expectations were incredibly low. So it's actually pretty decent considering. If you went at the quoted speed, it could probably reach the quoted range.
Yes, this one is better than my e-scooter. Price is same, but mine drives 20 to 30 minutes at full speed which is supposedly 25 km/h but rather 18-20😭 i hate it so much, i want to dispose of it bcs i forsaked it lol
@@lugami my $280 gotrax scooter in the US goes 15MPH, and has 15 mile claimed range(but I've found does more like 10 miles full speed gear 2, gear 1 will do longer).
What crappy model did ya buy? Sorry to hear that.
Actually kind of cool, you can throw it in your trunk for 10 miles of tooling around your destination. I'm sure you could hack a larger capacity battery into it for longer range, and/or bolt 2 together to make a cart.
I bought direct from Eahora and spent 1300$ on an ebike that died in 17 miles. Bike came
With a warranty and they even upgraded my rear motor from 500 to 750w & extended my warranty by an additional 12 months.
From the website
Mileage Range( in different weight ranges):
60KG(132lbs) / 15miles；75KG (165lbs)/ 10.6miles
So they don't lie for the rage because I don't think that you're 60KG weight 🤣
Not to mention he was going over the quoted speed, which drains the battery more than if he drove it slower. Hills don't help either.
Yes indeed, taking into consideration that it's designed for smaller (lighter) people, not really for adults.
I had one similar to this except it had pedals so you could still ride it home when the batteries ran out. Also, for weaker e-bikes like this, if you do a moderate zig zag when going up steeper slopes you can usually make it upwards without issue. Cheers!
At this price get a scooter. My $280 gotrax has 15MPH speed and 15 mile range.
@@roboticvenom1935 A scooter is a completely different experience, so not sure there is much of a comparison to be made.
Very much like my own experience with the little Ancheer scooter: fun to ride for errands but not a commuter bike. Eventually, less than a year, the battery would not charge.
Ancheer would not sell me a replacement battery. I tried after market batteries but they either would not work or were not durable.
I bought a Swagtron Pro. I still have that but the battery (after 10 months) does not allow anything but short rides...six miles and it is done.
I just picked up a Sailnovo - a true moped - pedal assist and all. So far, it is working well,
don’t cheap out too much or you will buy twice or in your car thrice..
@@NineDiamont500 for the year is a deal
Imagine if the box came and it was that expensive electric car!
Hahaha
what.
Just like the lower cc bikes from China or Amazon, sometimes they disconnect the battery line or gas line for shipping purposes, idk why but yeah, the average consumer doesn't even know and most bike places look at you weird when u come in with the Chinese products needing help😂
indeed, for bikes meant to be sold in stores, it come from the factory unplugged and it's up to the store staff to assemble before it can be displayed and sold. Not sure if this is the case here, since it would mean every single bike would have this problem, and it's a massive oversight of the whole seller not to attach assembly instruction. (or perhaps they did and they just didn't read it.)
That could be a good future project. Modify it with 72v and 1500 watt motor and you will see it flying 😉.
on that little thing it would be terrifying if you put that on that little bike lol. 52v and 1500w hub motor feels sketchy when u get above 35 mph even on a standard sized mountain bike
@@bHBullet I've seen it done and yeah sketchy, but still seems pretty fun. With its low center of gravity it might be a little safer, at least till you hit a turn.
@@TheRealAlpha2 it's all fun and games till you hit a turn and keep going straight ahead
I did that with a Swagcycle 1 it's similar to this one. I put a 1000 watt 48v motor on it with a 52v battery. I can get up to 55 kph here in Canada with a downhill run over 60 kph. I just normally rid at 40 to 45 kph, but the torque will pull it out your hands if you don't watch out.
@@TKomoski dude .... put up a vid ! -- Been waiting to see someone MOD one of these or an EB7 .... funny ! ..
No consumer would have known what to do is an overstatement since the bike didn't actually seem broken, just not fully assembled, and seeing as how the throttle could not be disconnected in the package, that might have been unplugged for safety.
Looks like it would be good for parking. If you park your car in the far end of the lot at the game, or tooling around the university campus, or camping. You get your RV parked, take one of these to the office or around the campground.
Exactly!
Standard power control disconnection when delivered this is no surprise a factory standard it stops the battery being drained to 0Vdc which kills the battery. After sales service should know this and tell you to connect the disconected plug.
He actually tells that the servicedesk told him to do it... so after sales was pretty good ;)
never point a gun at yourself, even if its not a gun, never point anything to you, even if its sa bread
Lol good advice right there
Agreed, although I see the attempt at humor, you never know the age or intelligence level of your viewers, and that's just a bad thing for someone to imitate!
@@belgumfamily9288 no thats natural selection.
I like how you just went across the street without looking to see if a car was coming. Real guts!
You got a good friendly relationship with chinese manufacturers
I dis like china trash . They need to step up a bit . , but I guess you pay for what you get.. looks a bit of fun I will say
😭😭
You need to do some home work before ordering such stuff online, you cannot just buy some random Brand’s just for the cheap price. I bought e-scooter, e-bike, mobile, game console for my neighbours kids from China, all are in good condition and cheap.
@@luv-nnd well he just wanna buy things and wanna update them the way he wants ...he just trying to BUILD HIS DREAM ...
The manufacturer of our platform is also good
It will be unplugged for shipping reasons because of the battery, probably something they should translate in the manual. It’s how the seller circumnavigated the laws about shipping lithium batteries
It wasn’t broken they do that to protect the battery
Yep and they don't care if you know it or not. Couldn't care less. Why would they.
I agree. Probably disconnected with good intentions / on purpose, but the fact that they failed to tell the customer is not ideal
Then why wouldn’t they have something that says you have to plug it in before it works
@@CynHicks why would they not bud
@@slumpedguy9382 Probably because the seller is supposed to do it, not the costumer.
Not broken, just incompletely assembled .... nice fittings , just a little small ....
It's perfect for my RV. Gets me into town on a regular basis. I have the one with the pedal assist though. Fits right in my storage compartment. Don't have to leave it hanging off the back of the rv to get stolen. I get about 12-15 miles comfortably. No real inclines but about half of it in dirt. Without pedal assist.
when shipping from China, sometimes customs will disconnect the battery for safety reasons before shipping.
I don’t know why I laugh a lot whenever you mention Han Tony. 😂
Amazon has an A-Z guarantee if the seller isn't cooperating. They're supposed to waive shipping fees if the item you received is malfunctioning. Once Amazon gets involved, you get all your money back, and don't have to ship it back.
I have been going through this process for over a month now and it is not fun but I do eventually expect to get my money back or a replacement bike.
Hahn Tony's hitman! 🤣🤣🤣
mostly battery terminal connections are disconnected before shipping, if not then shipping companies do it for safety, some customs officers will do it also to avoid fire accident and electric shock.
At least the company asked you to double-check things yourself and thankfully you didn't have to ship it back!
Note: I'm thinkin' it was left unplugged for Safe Shipping Purposes, not mentioned in the instructions? (not sure)
Also, riding uphill will draw more current which won't meet its 15 mile standard (on level ground). Maybe the battery gauge could be calibrated as well. Keeping all this in mind, yes, it's still a respectable light portable unit...Thanks for sharing! = )
Many electrical devices are shipped with the battery undone to prevent a chaotic incident from happening due to a malfunction from being bumped around during the trip. It's a SAFETY precaution. Most have a plastic tab sticking out of the battery compartment that gets pulled out by the consumer. It keeps the battery from making contact with the post/terminal.
Stop buying electric! You are a jinx. I have had 4 60v 5000w scooters shipped to me via alibaba in perfect working order.
I bought one from Costco, under the brand Jetson. I have to admit it was amazing! Sadly the battery does deteriorate at a fast rate, I was getting 8-10 miles per charge and 6 months later I was barely getting 4-5 miles.
You can try to replace the battery with new one.
@@linjunhalida Easier said than done. Not a highly advertised item. The battery for this and Hoverway Skrinter is a hidden secret it seems.
Stock battery is 3p10s or 4p10s, the 3S uses the same structure. The cells are 2000mAh, could not google the make or model.
I ordered the same one.. Been the most reliable pev I've owned.. I've had zero problems with it, riding it almost everyday for over a year... My Nanrobot D6+ and my Lectric XP have both given me issues, but not my little Ancheer scooterbike lol
When he started fanning himself with the gun.... f@kin lost it!!!! The🤣🤣🤣🤣
Disconnect the battery is a standard practice for international shipping required by the shipping code.
Did you try kick starting the scooter ebike or downloading the Bluetooth app to change the settings? The kick to start mode on the scooter ebike might be on as a safety feature.
That's an impressive little e-bike for someone who's on a tight budget. Most people wouldn't drive over a few miles in a day anyway.
When it comes to mileage, I'm pretty sure they quote you the figure you can expect if you're riding at half throttle everywhere, just like car and motorcycle manufacturers. Seemed to me you went pretty much everywhere at full throttle. And re the unplugged motor, most videos I've seen on TH-cam getting bikes shipped from China, they're all like that. Maybe it's to ensure no short happens on the boats and starts a fire, killing everyone on board. Just a thought...
And weight. They usually expect the rider will weigh 50 or 60 kg at most.
@@DrBernon The Chinese are a lot smaller than us (i'm not american) i'm European, the weight is i bet 30% less than his.
@@arturjcrebelo3275 Well... There is no standard on driver weigh. That is why honest manufacturers will use a weigh closer to the rated limit, like 80kg, and others will use 40kg rider to brag about having better rage.
It has nothing to do with where it is marketed to or where it was made.
I'm European as well, and I have seen a lot of scooters that sport 120kg use a 40kg rider for range tests. If they don't say the weight of the rider, you can assume it is 40kg or less.
The explosion meme gets me every time especially when he went to wash the e motorcycle off in the other video
They got it backwards. They listed 12 mph speed and 15 mile range, but gave you 15 mph speed and nearly 12 mile range.
The super expensive electric sports car you received had the controls for reverse+forward backwards, too, so it might be best to assume that whatever anyone buys from China is going to have something on it backwards.
They updated the speed to 15mph.
It definitely out performed my expectations looking at it at first when you initially unboxed it.
I purchased a cheap E-bike a year ago and it didn't work. I emailed seller and they insisted I pay shipping. I said (very tactfully) **** NO, and went through Amazon customer support. They relented and gave me a shipping label, but stated if they received it and they found "it worked", they would charge me the shipping. I was concerned they would repair it and charge me shipping so I ended up making a 45 minute video of the entire bike, showcasing how it didn't work and why it was their own $hitty craftsmanship. I told them I made the video without giving them the footage. Shipped it back. They refunded me. I went and did what I should have in the first place and bought a Lectric.
That's my money. I don't play those games.
After about a year, how is it performing?
Also, is it possible to recharge the battery while riding it?
This thing with relatively large wheels should be way more efficient than your typical e scooter
Holy god that’s bad trigger discipline you just waved the gun at your face with your finger on the trigger
This
That's the joke it's an airsoft gun probably
@@YDVN Even if it is an airsoft the replica of a Glock in the safety on a Glock is on the trigger which he just waved at his face either way this is terrible trigger discipline
@@oler777 If it's not loaded with bullets he has nothing to worry about, even if by 1% of chance there was still an airsoft bullet it wouldn't do anything to him, so it's not about trigger discipline, i'm sure he'd behave with an actual glock
@@YDVN You do realize if he was working in the military or on a police force he would be reprimanded because of your “joke“ and If you needed me to explain to you that the real joke is he thought it was a hitman from the last video I’m sorry but you don’t know how to tell what a joke is. If you’re going to start using percentages and claiming it must be an airsoft ok well what about the 99% chance that it’s an actual Glock because we’re in America and he doesn’t look like the type of guy who is running a speed soft set up or is pimping out his urmex $69 replica. My point is is you need to practice trigger discipline whether it’s real an airsoft a cap gun orbies especially when the safety is built into the trigger. This would be better if it was any gun that didn’t have the trigger safety feature
I don't even think it was a fair comparison:
1. SPEED. Bikes with a larger wheel will be faster than a bike with a small wheel, e.g. athlete with a larger stride will of course be faster than another one with a mini stride.
2. RANGE. Bikes with a larger battery capacity of course will cover more distance.
Please, wear a helmet even when you ride a mini bike, that is for your safety.
Great video! I had it saved on my cart but after this video, it just seems like its more suited for kids.
It's actually pretty fun. But if it's for commuting there's definitely better ebikes to be had. Plus this is a scooter, not a real bike so you're stranded when it dies.
@@TheInja Im loving my Segway Ninebot max but i have my doubts for snowy weather. Got soaked twice and it handled it like a champ though.
Looked better without fenders ‼️
Lmao loved that intro bro 😂🤘🏽💯
Here is the reason or a theory why the cable wasn't connected: In some countries like Germany it is forbidden / regulated to use throttle on electric bycicles. So Ancheer always has the throttle disconnected and expects the buyer to install the throttle himself plus connecting the wire. Seems like the dude that assembled this got confused or this shipment or some parts weren't meant to be shipped to the US. The control box seems to be identical to my Ancheer ebike. They must be using the same parts for different bikes, scooters etc.
I got my ebike from walmart for $99 on sale. It has 3 speeds, runs a max of 15 mph for a total of like 25 miles. It has a full digital speedometer, and front and back pegs, a front headlight and rear headlight with turn signals and a horn. It really looks almost exactly like yours, just yellow instead of black.
Does it still work?
I never had problems with returns on Amazon. If seller denied to pay for sending broken items, I went through Amazon. They always let me sent broken things back without any penny from my side.
upgrade the motor controller to a Sabvoton 45 amp
Please show us how to do that
You have the dyu d1f. I have 20,000 miles I my D1. It has the app control that allows 19.6 mph. I also installed a. 16 amp battery for a 40 mile range. I travel everywhere on mine. 3 throttles and countless tubes later I'm still in love with it. For reference I'm 5' 11" and weigh 125.
"Chinese product lasts as it can go to the moon, or till evening" that much uncertainty...😂😃😃😃
Well said bro......🤣🤣🤣🤣
Chale toh chand tak. Nhi toh...
Mars.
I purchased the Ancheer 500W 14" ebike and received it last night. I assembled it without even looking at the directions. I can't believe the pre-assembled cost was around $165. I can't wait to ride it. I totalled my Ford Explorer and while searching for the perfect replacement I thought an ebike would help cut the cost of insanely high Uber rides. Uber now charges $50 for a 2 mile ride in and around Santa Monica and Beverly Hills.
Oh shoot!
The Jetson Bolt Pro I bought from Costco for $299 enables you to pedal too.
I have the same. Extremely fun
My brother bought the Jetson bolt Pro from Costco haven't had any problems with it
Do something with the controller, make that hit 30 miles/hour
I have the other problem with customer service refusing to get someone technical on the phone for high end equipment.
I'd been looking at this a long time ago... well versions of it. There are like 5 or 6 different brand names, but I believe it's originally DYU that makes them they make versions with pedals and slightly larger wheels as well.. A slightly stripped down version sells from Jetson (occasionally as little as $250 at Costco but you only get one brake). The quality can vary quite a bit, but Ancheer seemed to be one of the better versions (seems like they changed the horn because before you had to blow the horn _before_ the light would activate). It's possible if it really came from China directly that they might have been told to disconnect the battery for shipping so that it doesnt turn on in the box and explode or get damaged in some other way (I've seen Electric unicycles do something similar.) It's been said that if you have the DYU app you can unlock a higher speed, I think about 18 mph is max but obviously range takes a hit. Rides like this, you should always bring your charger.
it will be a fun project u should make a youtube vid of it 👍
how will it perform going up a steep hill?
It’s common in electrical devices shipped 7642 miles away to not connect the power source. It can cause a fire under unventilated shipment. Often time a shipment can be stuck at port increasing storage time. I believe the first thing most would check would be if battery connectors are in place. No brainer.
Do you check all the wires or just the battery?
The Hahn Tony hitman got you my like and sub, awesome video
Glad to have you on board! ⚓
This is most likely a case of it being unplugged for shipping but not communicated in the instructions.
I just found you through another channel and I am glad I did. I was actually thinking of buying this exact scooter/bike. Seeing how small it is, my search continues
Lots of customers have returned the wireless keyboard and claimed that it didn't work, it turned out they didn't remove a piece of tape that covered the batt terminals, it was there for safety and regulation reason. Lol.
Awesome real life testing. Great job. And yes, for the price it's a nice deal.
i am willing to bet that the wire was intentionally left disconnected to insure the ebike would not start up in transit so when it goes through customs they will be "ok it is broken" and let it through
" Average consumer won't know", but we do now. Thanks for the review. I like the 1200 dollar bike you reviewed more.
Due to the fact it doesn't weigh much and can be easily carried, I'd imagine that's a thief magnet. I certainly wouldn't want to leave it unattended for any length of time.
But the beauty of it is you can lift and carry into places where you couldn't a real bike. I have a lock and chain as a back up if an outlier says you can't bring that in and I need a quick item.
It's the monkeybike of electric bikes
Max Speed: 25km (15miles) /h
Mileage Range( in different weight ranges):
60KG(132lbs) / 15miles；75KG (165lbs)/ 10.6miles
I think the mileage range is very accurate.
20:57 I wouldn't call it "broken", for that means when everything is setup correctly it still doesn't operate as it should. BTW, even though I get you were just playing around, 0:36 had me cringing hard.
I work at a bike shop and these stupid things come in constantly. The customer always gets mad at me because I let them know the cost to repair it when it’s always breaking.
Sounds like you guys charging too much then. These things are basically a controller, battery, throttle and hub motor. The rest is a bunch of trinkets and bicycle brakes/lines. It shouldn't cost much to fix.
That intro! 😂
At 8:43 when they just opened the pack, it seemed like it the wires were attached propperly, next shot they are magically unplugged....
I love your channel and the reviews you do, help me make decisions based on sound user experiences. Thanks for this, I'm going to buy one using the link you provided.
You gotta love when it's an easy fix like that lol. Dead battery is less fun.
Dead battery is easy but will cost $150ish
"Oh, frick" 😅😅😅
$400 thats pretty expensive. For that price you can get a decent electric bike for two people (180kg) and still have money left to buy 3 of the cheapest electric bikes on Lazada (Thailand).
Why keep buying Chinese tech when you get screwed most of the time? Haven't you learned yet?
Maybe you already found out about this but if you go down a steep hill. It's got a built-in rechargeable system,it'll charge the battery up as you're going down to steep Hill.
I had one similar to this dont even make it close enough on the hill 😆 i sold it
The inja and Lord for one night only 😎🤣😂👍🏾this was a comedy sketch 🤣 I could have done with this bike when I broke my foot
Very cool stuff bro, I like that. 👍🙋♂️👍
You guys should look for a pair single-wire plugs usually white, plugged into each other. That is for SLOW mode for older people
Ahhh yes I made it early
I approve
I don't think it was broken. They intentionally do this so that it doesn't turn on while it being shipped. They don't want any accidents happening.
I jave folding bike from ancheer... Works good now for 3000km but i upgraded the battery pack
Its build like your two lectric bikes that you can see while unpacking this one but with smaller tires... 20 inch but no fat ones
Internet purchases this stuff always happens.
I was also duped.
I purchased a tiller from India Mart.
They sent me a part less.
I contacted India Mart they asked me to make a complaint. I did, the company contacted me from Arangabad.
They just told me that part displayed in the set up directives and catolog was not necessary.
This part sets the level now I have to make my own adjustments. Best wishes jhn
I'm guessing the throttle was left unplugged for safety reasons, and they just need a page in the manual telling the buyer that.
Inja ma man, I did not get the notification . Always cracks me up the explosion, great intro very entertaining ," let me get my phone" 1 hour later 😂😂😂. Great video as always.
Wasn't it plugged in when you turned the throttle? Doesn't work like that.
Lets award this product a one star review. Since Amazon does allow for less than a one star review.
I work at a bike shop, I have seen this exact same bike come in under a different name, I think it was called Jetson not ancheer, seems kind of sketchy
Its a piece of garbage
I bought this same bike at Costco , branded JETSON .
Same price, everything; it was a good " learning " tool ,
b4 I got my 2.0 .
A 72v battery, a huameng 5000w motor and a yuyanking controller w/ bluetooth should be enough of an upgrade for you
Its the common upgrade for this and fiido q1/q1s
For those times when you want to get exactly ZERO exercise from an e-bike. Like nothing. You can't even pedal because there are none.
That battery cable disconnect is definitely on purpose to prevent fire hazard during shipping. QC issue is in the lack of instruction for customer to connect before use. Apparently, seller didn't know details about their product.
AFTER ABOUT 5-10 CHARGES THE CAPACITY OF THE BATTERIES WILL INCREASE AND THEN MAYBE YOU WILL GET MORE RANGE CLOSER TO WHAT THEY SAY.
Hmmmmmm, I think you may be right. I recently bought an e scooter and on first charge, it virtually cut out when I had 2 or 5 bars on battery. after charging a few times, it don’t cut out quite so soon. I’m always anxious about battery going dead, miles from home. Or getting the dreaded flat tire miles from home.
