The idea is to have an e-bike that is legal to drive in bike lanes and paths....but also fast enough to use on secondary roads (35 mph) when needed.@@CraneTrain
With proper adjustment (including even adding a second motors to you ebike), some can easily reach 50 m / hr, but there is something VERY important a lot of people realize only when it is too late "Safety", when the law limits the speed of your ebike to 20 mi / hr - which is for bikes still so fast -, this is for your own safety, I've been riding bikes since high school, I'm 43 y today, and still can fall from my bikes, the last time was because there was some sand on a paved road when I was turning!! Do you know how much "damage" can happen to you if you felt from a bike on a speed of just 30 m / hr not 45 - try jump from a car going only 40 m / hr and you'll know!! If you are lucky and didn't die, you can be disabled for the rest of your life!! (even if you are a pro, it still can happen, even if it's not your fault.) Another thing: is the structure of ebikes (frame and parts) including fat tires ones, designed to bear this high speed on a regular bases: NO! Ebikes are designed to help / assist bikers in some situations, going up hill or a steep street, go against the wind, feel tired after a long ride ..etc. but not to speed around! If you want the thrill of the high speed get a motor cycle, and wear the appropriate safety gear, and if you are late drive your car or take an Uber. But it is def not worth it to risk your life, and "believe me things do happen.".
My riding buddy bought this bike, I bought Aniioki. His came damaged from delivery and couldn’t be ridden. After a MONTH went by of him trying to get his bike fixed from Eahora they kept playing pin the tail on the donkey with him he gave me the Eahora and bought Aniioki. Almost six months later Eahora still has not fixed the problem and they continue to pass the buck.

I have the Juliet single motor. I have it tuned for the 20 mph max speed as I ride lots of the local trails and wish to stay legal. The battery is the star of the show, I've done 88 miles with no peddling and still had 10% left on battery. Absolutely could have dome 100 miles.
I don't understand. Why spend this amount of money to buy such a heavy bike but use just 25% of its capabilities? There are 35lb ebikes out there that go 28mph and have 60mi range or more for under $1200. Much more maneuverable, portable and cheaper.
@@BN99239 would you drive a Corvette 150 mph everywhere you go? I can get close to 200 miles with peddling and room on the bike for cargo, and I like the look. I got what I wanted.
@@BN99239 the original Juliet is a $1400 bike with a 1000W motor and a big freaking battery. It can do about 50 miles with the throttle wide open going 25-30mph depending on the remaining voltage. But getting 88 miles at 20mph is a pretty valid use case for that bike, and not one that is an overspend. (Also it’s easy to tune the pedal assist. On my bike PAS 2 is set to 15mph (trail speed limit) PAS 3 is set to 20mph (son’s class 2 bike), and I have PAS 4 set to 25mph and PAS 5 wide open. Switching is trivial.)
Thanks just as I thought it’s hard to find quality stuff and availability of parts. I ride a Christini Fat 5 mid drive all wheel both front and rear internal driveshaft. Simply the best custom made for you. All top end parts no safety bullshit easy to maintain. And every part down to a screw is available from them in Philly Pa. I went there rode and ordered simply the best I urge people to look them up. You will be extremely satisfied. Bit more expensive but for me well worth it.
It's the whole "fat tire" trend that is going on. But the only thing the tired do better is on sand since they can be set to a low PSI so they spread the weight out better.
its not just the tires that are cheap but fat tires have a bigger surface area and a lot more weight so its much easier getting flats. running slime and armor damn near eliminates any problem
I bought a enduro ebike wich had moto tires on it, I got one flat out of the entire 3 years I had the bike, even if fat tires were made like moto tires they would be 99% more flat resistant . Everytime I see a new ebike come out that costs anywhere from 2k on up that does over 35mph I always think they would equip it with moto tires and I l9ok real close and sure enough, They stock them with skimpy cheap worthless tires, Cst, Chao yang, kenda.... For an ebike that has a 30mph speed and higher and costs in the 2k and higher bracket should come standard with moto tires.. My enduro was a 1500w, it only did 35mph tops on a good day with no wind and flat terrain and it came with enduro moto tires, the bike was 2400$ it was the best ebike I ever had, the battery blew, I got about 22miles on full batter but I didn't care, it was reliable and I lived the full suspension.....
I have an old Juliet first gen. It goes 30mph, and has insane range. I came to the conclusion that the line between it and a motorcycle is blurry, and that I should treat it more like a motorcycle. Based on riding that around I am actually getting an M1 license and looking at getting a road legal scooter instead of something like this. This thing… is a motorcycle.

If you drop this thing at 40mph in bike gear, you are gonna have a bad day. If someone kicks up a rock and it hits you in the face at 40mph, you are gonna have a bad day, and that’s if this doesn’t cause you to also drop the bike. I am not telling anyone they shouldn’t ride one of these. But at least know that this thing is basically a 125cc equivalent motorcycle and take safety gear and training seriously. Breaking for a curve at 30+ mph on a 150 pound bike is a VERY different thing than stopping a 35 pound pedal bike going 10mph. You need to know that and learn to handle it before getting on this thing in real traffic and corners. Be safe.
Would take this over a motorcycle anyday. In Florida you have tons of very wide walkways and you can ride it there off the road. Of course ride with caution but no different than a bicycle at slow speed if someone is on the walkway.
@@wcz61 I honestly wouldn’t. Which is not to say I disagree with your base premise. But…This thing is a $3000 ebike. You can still get the original Juliet for $1400. It isn’t dual motor 40mph, but it does 30mph and gets 50ish miles riding it wide open throttle, and plus it still looks more like a pedal bike if you intend to take it off the street. While over 750W, and over 28mph and having a throttle over 20mph makes the Juliet not a “legal” bike either, a cop is much less likely to stop you if he clocks you at 30 than if he clocks you at 40+. This bike is NOT street, sidewalk, or trail legal in most jurisdictions. And it’s not really close enough to “slide” if you get observed letting loose on it. (Search for Surron and talaria videos to see what can happen with illegal bikes). At the point I’m looking at $3000+ and 40mph+ I would want full on motor bike with DOT compliant features.

I'm looking to get a juliet to commute with. I think it definitely seems to push the line on what can reasonably be called an ebike. The Romeo Pro 2 looks really really fun, but at some point it just makes sense for Eahora to add a Vin and get it into DOT compliance so you can just register the dang thing and be legal.

@@FirefoxBlueVR funny thing is that Eahora actually DOES sell bikes with VINs. They just sell them on their Eahora scooters website instead of the Eahora e-bikes one. Search for the Eahora m1p plus for example.
Love your enthusiasm, Great review with some music not to loud. Great dyno test BUT.....I wish you showed us till what speed you can pedal!? I dont like to use it as an electric motorcycle...I wanna pedal..at least til 38 and with a normal cadence. Thats why the Juliette is probably more for me...but the styling of the romeo is awesome! Still would go for Juliette cuz the seat of romeo cannot change higher. Good to see a video from you again 😊
I've had my romeo for over a year, and I love it!!! I've had to replace my motor 3 times and every electrical component and wires, but they honor their warranty!!
Run a check on the VIN number first. A lot of these bikes are not able to register. As for insurance, you can insure anything. Someone will come look at it and give you a price. I was about to buy a flyebike RZ bike. Looks like a ninja bike-but all electric. Top speed is 40mph. I took a picture of the VIN and checked it with DMV. Not able to register. Comes up as nothing. If you read the fine print, it says “off road use only”.
On your "Dino test" board, you have the Graffiti X at the top of your power list. Have you had an opportunity to test the Cycle Works Brute e-moped bike? 72v, 2.2kW-hr,100a BMS, all motorcycle grade components?
My e Cells 5 Star pulls 2400 watts and does 40 mph with 200 lb rider on one motor and weighs about 80 lbs, Why would anyone spend over 1000 dollars more for this bike?
I bought a Eahora Romeo in June 2023. I love the bike and it’s about time they’re getting more recognition when I bought mine there wasn’t much as far as videos and reviews but I just loved the look of the bike and the range was really important to me, I have ridden my bike all over the Midwest Utah, Colorado. It really does have the range I’ve gone 116 miles on a charge which is incredible. Yes the bike is heavy it’s definitely more for just gravel roads and paved, nothing heavy off-road. this bike definitely turns some heads. It’s very smooth. Very stable. Lots of fun.👍🏻👍🏻🚵🚵😎😎
@rockstarbass1 a TH-camr tested both of them and the a8 dual motor outperformed it. And yes I own 3 anioki a8 pros with the new a9 titan on pre-order. I love these bikes
An adjustable seat is a must for me... But I'm old and decrepit... Also if you're looking for top speed... Looks like you'd be better off with direct drive motors.. that's what I put on my hooptie... You can cruise at high speed without all that whining 😊
How good is this bike at going up hills i need something to go to work everyday and i have some steep hills on the way and dont want to half to deal with petaling up everyday i cant afford a car rn
Great review, and you have a ton of balls to ride a "bike", with bike components, this fast. I'm apprehensive about riding big front motors with suspension forks because the dropouts could be vulnerable. What's your take on this?
I mean. Drivers already cant stand slow bikes. And i prefer to be able to have the quickness and the speed to get away from reckless and negligent drivers With this kind of speed. I can take the road and make my turn as quick as possible. That way drivers wont have to be inpatient and get angry for being too slow
Eggzactly! The most dangerous part of riding a slower bike on the road, is when reckless drivers try to pass you, and end up hitting you as they go by too close. Speed is your friend to stay ahead of these clowns! Don't give them a chance to make a dangerous pass 👍👍🎯💯
Would love to see this bike. I’m in Sacramento Area, let me know if you do any ride outs. I was interest in the frame for a build I’m doing. Johnnythrottle TV
Weighs more than a Sur Ron with less power? I think weight should be a top priority, and I think a hub with a decent size 52v battery can be well less than 100#. 🤔
My moped when I was a kid I only had to get a sticker for it and it was a little taller than that bike driver's permit who was the only other requirement
Its probably your best bet to wear gloves when going over 25 MPH. You would definitely be praying that you would have had a pair on if you had hit a rock you didn't see on the asphalt and landed upside down. Safety First.
These e-bikes have a serious flaw in the way the battery mount works, It’s not waterproof, if it’s raining, water could work its way down into the connecter and short the system
I agree. Water and electric don’t mix. I have an escooter and if there’s even a hint of rain, I’ll leave it home. I have been caught in the rain already and yes, water does get in
I have the utmost respect for the knowledge and expertise you put into your videos...which makes me wonder why you'd take the time to showcase something that is illegal in most states and riding conditions. It's bikes like these...ridden with abandon by testosterone-fueled man-boys...that prompt knee-jerk politicians to create stupid and/or most draconian regulations...which then make it difficult for the rest of us. Certainly there are enough legal bikes out there to keep giving you content for your excellent channel. Thanx for listening and keep up the good work!!
The only thing worse than the boot, is the guy asking for the boot. The stupid laws are already here. That's why this is "illegal" (You can, of course, keep it in a fully legal mode on-road). You talk about "testosterone feuled man-boys"... Brother, I just want to be able to safely commute around a city were most streets are 35mph and it's not unusual for cars to go another 10 over that. And being able to keep up with traffic is the best way to stay safe. Put the blame where it belongs, irresponsible people, not the equipment. Which certainly has responsible use cases for responsible people despite being "illegal".
@@JCPRuckus - I DID put the blame where it belongs...right on the man-boys who are abusing these high-powered bikes and causing problems for the rest of us. You even pulled that term out in your reply so, not sure what your beef is. By no means do I want to curtail or restrict your ability to ride in traffic but...if I'm not mistaken, 750 watts is the legal street limit for eBikes, right? And, what cars do...other than making sure they don't hit us...is not really our concern. They have their own sets of laws...we have ours. I like the idea of going with a speed limit...just like with cars...and NOT worry about the size of the power plant.
@@riclevine5983 - No, you mentioned them, but only in the context of a rant about how disappointed you were that these exist, and this channel is talking about them. In other words, you were making manufacturers and reviewers responsible for giving irresponsible people the opportunity to be irresponsible. You are responsible for everything you say, both what you say explicitly AND the implications of what you say explicitly. Also you're completely missing the point by quoting the legal power limits. The point is that I, and many other people, want to be able to ride these things on streets that have traffic we can't avoid. Physically separated bike lanes are extremely rare in most areas. So in order to be safe, the closer to traffic speed we're capable of going, the safer we are. It's just not as simple as you want it to be, other than that the problem is definitely entirely on irresponsible people, not anyone else.
@@JCPRuckus - Thank you for putting words in my mouth, for the inaccurate analysis of my words and the lecture on responsibility. I can't even begin to tell you how you've enlightened my world.
@@riclevine5983 - You literally started your comment complaining about how you are disappointed that he's reviewing illegal bikes. I didn't put those words in your mouth, you wrote them yourself. You're welcome for the enlightenment though, even if you're too stubborn to receive it.
I don't think it's important that you have insurance any damage done by a lightweight electric bike even that one at 150 lb is not going to be that much hopefully
Yeah you probably want to push it because you can afford registration and insurance for a electric bike. That's actually a backdoor tax. The authorities won't to leave it a gray area deal with the law enforcement as it comes at you
Just watched the introduction of the bike if you want to do a safe video or invest in safety make a video. I’ll watch that too. I don’t forget we all die at some point that’s what humans do
You say this bike is illegal but im pretty sure it has different levels. Anything over your local laws are supposed to be done on private property. As long as you are not breaking the speed limit you can ride it
Not true. It’s not what YOU set it at. It’s the vehicles top capacity that determines legality. For the most part, if you’re riding responsibly (staying on the right as much as possible, not impeding traffic, wearing a helmet, obeying traffic signals, etc), you should be fine. There are so many electric devices out there now, police don’t know the specific models and thier legality without pulling you over. To be on the safe side, just ride it responsibly.
Okay so its FAST and has a crazy Battery ! But i ask this question ....WHY ? If you was going to do deliveries for a company i could understand it ..But you say its Illegal to ride ? Which is puzzling why they would sell it ? I'm sure someone has the Answer to these questions :)
The obvious answer is to make money. A lot of these e-bikes will come with a disclaimer written either in 0.05 font or invisible ink “off road use only”. Most of them-I Can’t speak for every model out there) have a VIN number, however, if the DMV runs the number, it comes up as nothing. I have also seen disclaimers on some of them that reads “check your local laws before operating”.
@@grazz7865 yes i agree ! and for every 100 of these that is sold only a micro few are ever caught on a road ,because ebikes are difficult to Police due to flooding of the market place !

Your title left out "and cost twice as much as my first car!!"... When I was your age a Chevy Camero was only $3K *_BRAND NEW!_* TWO GRAND for a BICYCLE? What the hell are you smoking!!??
I just wish there was a legal route for these kinds of bikes. They dont have to be classified as e bikes. Im fine with getting a motorcycle license and or registering them. Etc etc. But in my state, if its got more than 750 watts in the motor, its illegal period unless its strong enough to he considered an electric motor cycle. Open up the middle ground 🙃
My bike is 2000wat 45amp 52v goes faster than that bike 30mph 3to 4 seconds 44mph and gets there quicker than that bike and mine is a kit on a nice mountain bike indercators brake big head light sw900 display 5 power pass or throttle under a £1000 what do you think of that when you think of weight that slows a bike down it's called load so if you weight is 10 stone you will go faster than 13stone plus if tyres are 4 ins it slows bike down by a lot slick tyres in summer adds 8 mph to 10 aluminium frame makes bike go faster it's all to do with weight even a 1500wat 40amp 44mph easy 52v volt battery no need for 72 volt 3000wat these bikes are like tanks
To make this deal EVEN BETTER Eahora has given me a code for $450 OFF! Use Code area 450 and go here: www.eahoraebike.com/?ref=kpqfhbjm

@@FirefoxBlueVR funny thing is that Eahora actually DOES sell bikes with VINs. They just sell them on their Eahora scooters website instead of the Eahora e-bikes one. Search for the Eahora m1p plus for example.
Can you run just one motor ?? Motor switch ?
Love your enthusiasm,
Great review with some music not to loud.
Great dyno test
BUT.....I wish you showed us till what speed you can pedal!?
I dont like to use it as an electric motorcycle...I wanna pedal..at least til 38 and with a normal cadence.
Thats why the Juliette is probably more for me...but the styling of the romeo is awesome!
Still would go for Juliette cuz the seat of romeo cannot change higher.
Good to see a video from you again 😊
I see you've lost a lot of weight, hope your health is good. Positive energy your way.
I like those front shocks, they are probably expensive to replace
Don't waste ur money on Eahora bikes. You will be VERY disappointed!! You've been warned!!
I've had my romeo for over a year, and I love it!!! I've had to replace my motor 3 times and every electrical component and wires, but they honor their warranty!!
Also, I've put well over 6k miles on it
But if the authorities don't want registration license and insurance leave it alone
OMG, that looks like an absolute riot
I'm really interesting in getting one of these and trying to get it registered as a motorcycle in NC
Run a check on the VIN number first. A lot of these bikes are not able to register. As for insurance, you can insure anything. Someone will come look at it and give you a price. I was about to buy a flyebike RZ bike. Looks like a ninja bike-but all electric. Top speed is 40mph. I took a picture of the VIN and checked it with DMV. Not able to register. Comes up as nothing. If you read the fine print, it says “off road use only”.
Omg that thing is my dream bike , haven’t even got half thru your video and I want it now 😂
I had one in the shop after it was 2 months old, now another one 4 months old burnt out controller.
Did you ever pedal it?
that's a giant battery ! the recent bike I got lately on 20, but does 35MPH so it's super fun
On your "Dino test" board, you have the Graffiti X at the top of your power list. Have you had an opportunity to test the Cycle Works Brute e-moped bike? 72v, 2.2kW-hr,100a BMS, all motorcycle grade components?
Not yet!
This is basically an electric motorcycle with peddles.
It’s too slow to be an electric motorcycle..
I love seeing people “pedal” at 1rpm-yet the bike is doing 50mph😂
What's prize
Yr ebyke ecycle wat ever u name this is a tremendous stunning electrifying transformer l luv it
it even LOOKS illegal, i cannot imagine riding past someone and them not thinking this is a motorcycle XD
Because it is a motorcycle.
Yeah it's legally a motorcycle as it can exceed 20mph unassisted.
@@Ixquick979 more like a moped, it's still very light compared to a motorcycle and a dirt bike.
My e Cells 5 Star pulls 2400 watts and does 40 mph with 200 lb rider on one motor and weighs about 80 lbs, Why would anyone spend over 1000 dollars more for this bike?
cuz this goes a bit faster, is stronger!and also has TRIPLE the capacity your bike does. plus looks much nicer in my opinion
@@jawnnydoodlebob7387 facts, Romeo pro 2 looks way better
No comparison to your e cell different animal
Do you not understand torque?
My 44 on my bafang @1500 watt on a 2000watt battery 🔋
This thing only has about two inches of wheel travel on the rear suspension and ,maybe 3 upfront.
It need at least triple that and it'd be amazing.
Great bike if you lived on a farm/ranch in Midwest in middle of nowhere. I’d PROTECTIVE gear myself as if it were a MC.
Wow wicked now Wired never made it on your board?
They haven't sent one.
An extra battery would be great to subvert some of the strain of the watt pull, faster Acceleration
Great video! How did it feel stability wise?
Is the battery SLA or LiFe PO4?
I bought a Eahora Romeo in June 2023. I love the bike and it’s about time they’re getting more recognition when I bought mine there wasn’t much as far as videos and reviews but I just loved the look of the bike and the range was really important to me, I have ridden my bike all over the Midwest Utah, Colorado. It really does have the range I’ve gone 116 miles on a charge which is incredible. Yes the bike is heavy it’s definitely more for just gravel roads and paved, nothing heavy off-road. this bike definitely turns some heads. It’s very smooth. Very stable. Lots of fun.👍🏻👍🏻🚵🚵😎😎
I want this... Glad i waited
Cuz the biktrix juggernaut is severely overpriced... This is like half the price and the nireeka mega has half the range
Is this a real recording not split screen because what was that black line by your handles like you were putting two recordings over each other
Any chance of seeing how the ANIIOKI A8 duel motor stacks up against the Eahura Romeo PRO2?
I own the anioki dual motor a8 and I like it way more than the Romeo 2
@mr.raiders7029 thanks for the reply.
@@mr.raiders7029do you have both?
Why do you like more about the aniioki
@rockstarbass1 a TH-camr tested both of them and the a8 dual motor outperformed it. And yes I own 3 anioki a8 pros with the new a9 titan on pre-order. I love these bikes
How many amps are those controllers?
Any model with basket
for delivery or shopping
Thx a lot
An adjustable seat is a must for me... But I'm old and decrepit... Also if you're looking for top speed... Looks like you'd be better off with direct drive motors.. that's what I put on my hooptie... You can cruise at high speed without all that whining 😊
How does this compare to the aniioki 8a dual motor?
Change soft start to 3. If it’s like my Romeo 11 it will give the front motor 100% at take off.
What mic are u using for the insta
Rode wireless go 2 or Lark m2

Have you heard of the Walfisk ET-7 Ultra?
How do you adjust the seat?
The light went out, better to have a light on in the day as well. Maybe a short.
How good is this bike at going up hills i need something to go to work everyday and i have some steep hills on the way and dont want to half to deal with petaling up everyday i cant afford a car rn
first thing everybody said when i let them ride it is wow this is a heavy bike! lol
That’s insanely fast, what’s the mileage on a full charge?
Any idea if the Chopper will be upgraded to a higher than its current 4000W monster?
Got it plated so I'll be trying
Great review, and you have a ton of balls to ride a "bike", with bike components, this fast. I'm apprehensive about riding big front motors with suspension forks because the dropouts could be vulnerable. What's your take on this?
I mean. Drivers already cant stand slow bikes.
And i prefer to be able to have the quickness and the speed to get away from reckless and negligent drivers
With this kind of speed. I can take the road and make my turn as quick as possible. That way drivers wont have to be inpatient and get angry for being too slow
Eggzactly! The most dangerous part of riding a slower bike on the road, is when reckless drivers try to pass you, and end up hitting you as they go by too close. Speed is your friend to stay ahead of these clowns! Don't give them a chance to make a dangerous pass 👍👍🎯💯
Hello.This Bike have a lot of negative comments. Can you confirm that the bike comes with a lot of problems?
Great content
This beat out the power goat but how does it stack up against the billy goat?
My add blockers are turned off so why won't this video play?
Great Test Drive Looked like u Really had fun😅, my Ariel Grizzly is Nice, 2024 Edition is just got it Too, i wants to Rev it up Some more’😅😝⚡️⚡️⚡️
Would love to see this bike. I’m in Sacramento Area, let me know if you do any ride outs. I was interest in the frame for a build I’m doing. Johnnythrottle TV
Come swing by the shop if you want to check out some cool bikes!
Wow you lost a lot of weight bro! Good shii!
Weighs more than a Sur Ron with less power? I think weight should be a top priority, and I think a hub with a decent size 52v battery can be well less than 100#. 🤔
Whats up? Are u going to review walfisk ebike with 60v 45ah battery and 3,000w motor?
I mean as long as Surrons ride in bike lanes and side walks, you're fine on that bike haha
I park my 2000w AWD fat tire monster over at the Motorcycle parking area it's a massive beast and very fast.
I think I met you on the bus today, you let me use your screwdriver for the request stop wire.
My moped when I was a kid I only had to get a sticker for it and it was a little taller than that bike driver's permit who was the only other requirement
I really want to know can u keep that electric bike
Its probably your best bet to wear gloves when going over 25 MPH. You would definitely be praying that you would have had a pair on if you had hit a rock you didn't see on the asphalt and landed upside down.
Safety First.
These e-bikes have a serious flaw in the way the battery mount works, It’s not waterproof, if it’s raining, water could work its way down into the connecter and short the system
It’s not likely any DC shorts would occur at 48 V, it is more likely you would experience corrosion over a period of time.
I agree. Water and electric don’t mix. I have an escooter and if there’s even a hint of rain, I’ll leave it home. I have been caught in the rain already and yes, water does get in
holes in kick stand for attaching a trailer
Compare that to the wire e bike. Which is better
I have the utmost respect for the knowledge and expertise you put into your videos...which makes me wonder why you'd take the time to showcase something that is illegal in most states and riding conditions.
It's bikes like these...ridden with abandon by testosterone-fueled man-boys...that prompt knee-jerk politicians to create stupid and/or most draconian regulations...which then make it difficult for the rest of us.
Certainly there are enough legal bikes out there to keep giving you content for your excellent channel.
Thanx for listening and keep up the good work!!
The only thing worse than the boot, is the guy asking for the boot. The stupid laws are already here. That's why this is "illegal" (You can, of course, keep it in a fully legal mode on-road).
You talk about "testosterone feuled man-boys"... Brother, I just want to be able to safely commute around a city were most streets are 35mph and it's not unusual for cars to go another 10 over that. And being able to keep up with traffic is the best way to stay safe.
Put the blame where it belongs, irresponsible people, not the equipment. Which certainly has responsible use cases for responsible people despite being "illegal".
@@JCPRuckus - I DID put the blame where it belongs...right on the man-boys who are abusing these high-powered bikes and causing problems for the rest of us.
You even pulled that term out in your reply so, not sure what your beef is.
By no means do I want to curtail or restrict your ability to ride in traffic but...if I'm not mistaken, 750 watts is the legal street limit for eBikes, right?
And, what cars do...other than making sure they don't hit us...is not really our concern. They have their own sets of laws...we have ours.
I like the idea of going with a speed limit...just like with cars...and NOT worry about the size of the power plant.
@@riclevine5983 - No, you mentioned them, but only in the context of a rant about how disappointed you were that these exist, and this channel is talking about them. In other words, you were making manufacturers and reviewers responsible for giving irresponsible people the opportunity to be irresponsible. You are responsible for everything you say, both what you say explicitly AND the implications of what you say explicitly.
Also you're completely missing the point by quoting the legal power limits. The point is that I, and many other people, want to be able to ride these things on streets that have traffic we can't avoid. Physically separated bike lanes are extremely rare in most areas. So in order to be safe, the closer to traffic speed we're capable of going, the safer we are. It's just not as simple as you want it to be, other than that the problem is definitely entirely on irresponsible people, not anyone else.
@@JCPRuckus - Thank you for putting words in my mouth, for the inaccurate analysis of my words and the lecture on responsibility.
I can't even begin to tell you how you've enlightened my world.
@@riclevine5983 - You literally started your comment complaining about how you are disappointed that he's reviewing illegal bikes. I didn't put those words in your mouth, you wrote them yourself.
You're welcome for the enlightenment though, even if you're too stubborn to receive it.
What is with the headlight? This is the future, larger capacity batteries are coming very soon to the ebike of tomorrow
I don't think it's important that you have insurance any damage done by a lightweight electric bike even that one at 150 lb is not going to be that much hopefully
Sure! Outside of the death and wreckage it should be just fine.
Whats faster ,the Iniioki A8 double motor or this ??
I would need a ramp to get it up to my porch at the apartment.
Please test the Road Runner Pro if
You can.
Do these companies send you the bikes to review and then you get to keep them?
Gotta learn the boost mode .... 50 plus Mane 😂
Yeah you probably want to push it because you can afford registration and insurance for a electric bike. That's actually a backdoor tax. The authorities won't to leave it a gray area deal with the law enforcement as it comes at you
53 mph with a skimpy bicycle helmet?!
And no other safety gear?!
Pure insanity.
Just watched the introduction of the bike if you want to do a safe video or invest in safety make a video. I’ll watch that too. I don’t forget we all die at some point that’s what humans do
Envy right here 😳
Heard nothing but bad things about this bike!.. and customer service is awful!
Same. I’ve seen reviews that do not speak well of this bike and buyers are warning others that customer service is terrible as well.
yup, bike is trash

@@letsreview-2024научись правильно подключать провода , там и стрелки нарисованы! Вы дураки , а виновата ихора? Почему у меня все работает
You say this bike is illegal but im pretty sure it has different levels. Anything over your local laws are supposed to be done on private property. As long as you are not breaking the speed limit you can ride it
Not true. It’s not what YOU set it at. It’s the vehicles top capacity that determines legality. For the most part, if you’re riding responsibly (staying on the right as much as possible, not impeding traffic, wearing a helmet, obeying traffic signals, etc), you should be fine. There are so many electric devices out there now, police don’t know the specific models and thier legality without pulling you over. To be on the safe side, just ride it responsibly.
Full face helmet for sure!
2500 bucks with a coupon. That's a screaming deal....I wish I was in the market for a new ride, I just upgraded my old one.
I'm in between this and the anoike a8 pro max.
Very Nice !
Okay so its FAST and has a crazy Battery ! But i ask this question ....WHY ? If you was going to do deliveries for a company i could understand it ..But you say its Illegal to ride ? Which is puzzling why they would sell it ? I'm sure someone has the Answer to these questions :)
The obvious answer is to make money. A lot of these e-bikes will come with a disclaimer written either in 0.05 font or invisible ink “off road use only”. Most of them-I
Can’t speak for every model out there) have a VIN number, however, if the DMV runs the number, it comes up as nothing. I have also seen disclaimers on some of them that reads “check your local laws before operating”.
@@grazz7865 yes i agree ! and for every 100 of these that is sold only a micro few are ever caught on a road ,because ebikes are difficult to Police due to flooding of the market place !

You can't call that a bike. It's way too heavy for that. Completely failed concept if you ask me.
It's a moped.
This bike design looks metro-girlie.
45 mph and wearing a bicycle helmet for protection.
I just wish there was a legal route for these kinds of bikes. They dont have to be classified as e bikes. Im fine with getting a motorcycle license and or registering them. Etc etc. But in my state, if its got more than 750 watts in the motor, its illegal period unless its strong enough to he considered an electric motor cycle. Open up the middle ground 🙃
My bike is 2000wat 45amp 52v goes faster than that bike 30mph 3to 4 seconds 44mph and gets there quicker than that bike and mine is a kit on a nice mountain bike indercators brake big head light sw900 display 5 power pass or throttle under a £1000 what do you think of that when you think of weight that slows a bike down it's called load so if you weight is 10 stone you will go faster than 13stone plus if tyres are 4 ins it slows bike down by a lot slick tyres in summer adds 8 mph to 10 aluminium frame makes bike go faster it's all to do with weight even a 1500wat 40amp 44mph easy 52v volt battery no need for 72 volt 3000wat these bikes are like tanks
