I own an i7 pro. Just hit 600 miles and she’s still running strong. Definitely recommend this e bike to anyone trying to ditch gas prices and looking for a new way to travel . It’s nice to not pay registration or insurance. It’s pretty much $1500 and you get damn good transportation around town (or even to the next).
Thinking about getting one to ride some on bike trails and use to hunt off dirt roads and trails . I'm 210 pound guy 52 years old but still in ok shape but thought it may help me get more exercise with help when I get tired and get to hunting stands quietly. Think it will do good for this ?? Saw it on eBay for around 1500 bucks is this average price??
@@larryalexander4833 I got my mine from them directly it was 1,499 they threw in a seat up grade, bike lock and iPhone holder.also they don’t charge tax. I’ve had it for a month, tested on and off road. It rides like a dream honestly. The only thing I had to do out the box was tighten the pedal cranks. I’m my opinion it’s worth the $1,499.
Thanks Chris , I am glad that you liked the bike. It definitely has mostly the same features as my Lectric Brand Ebike. I am very happy with mine , it lets me do everything that I want and is a lot of fun to ride. The biggest reason that I bought mine was because it can be easily folded for transport or storage. Good review! 👍.. Howdy Jen , Gus and Turbo! 👋
I really liked the camera shots of the hub and front wheel during the test ride, I like to hear the running noise/sounds! Also enjoyed the commentary of the area you were in.
Love watching chris. Whatever the video, i find it entertaining. All of his random clips and adventures are my favorite. Watching his videos have given me the motivation to get my own project truck and have some fun! Thats what life is about.
Hey Chris, I really appreciate all these honest review videos. They keep me entertained while waiting for a video on the main channel. Your such a cool down to earth guy.
That lock is so cool, we have remnants of the Erie canal in Huntington,IN. Cool filming too! By the way, we finally have an e-bike retailer so my wife and I are in the process of owning 2 new Aventon Aventure 2 bikes, have not seen a review from you on this model but we compared quite a bit. Have a great day, Chris!
Nice video. Liked the whole ride. I'm about 2 weeks away from Vitilan shipping my i7 Pro. I currently have the original Lectric XP (which is good) but my back is telling me get a full suspension. Same thing with pedal mountain bikes I had ... moved up to full suspension over time.
Thanks for the hat! I'll wear it proudly! There aren't many folding 20" fat tire bikes that have full suspension .... that's a huge selling point but you didn't talk about it! The rest of the bike is about average but it does have alloy rims and 8 speed. The full suspension is a big selling point tho! My wife and I graduated from folding bikes to the Aventon Aventure 26" ... great bikes! Keep up the good work!
My back is very weak. For many years I have been unable to walk or ride a bike for long periods of time. I've been wanting to get an electric bike to help with my exercise. This video came at the perfect time, thanks for all the details.
I find the upright position on folding ebikes to be hard on the back. The full suspension will help. Also, I keeping my nice cushy seat and seatpost suspension from my old ebike which should make it even better to ride. Most stock seats are questionable for comfort.
You are totally right. Long rides are demanding on the seat. An ill-fitting seat can squash your butt very bad and even aggravate a herniated disc. I'm looking at their upgraded airbag seat...any recommendations?
I own a I7pro model in white. Its a nice ebike and performance is pretty good and great for shorter riders aa well. Rear suspension is not great but better than none.. I get a lot of compliments and questions when I ride it around my area and does go around 27 mph top speed on a full charge.. nice video and ride along 😀 👍 👌
I live in a trailer community and we all took our awnings off also but we are in Florida with wicked HURRICANES AND THE WIND CATCHS UNDER IT AND RIPS THE SIDE OF THE HOUSE OFF
Cool little side Adventure there, I like checking out things you film because your down so chill and down to earth. Gotta love Gus man givener. Did you go get those awnings? My name Chris toi and I get called a hoarder.
Greetings from Spain (from a Finn)! I like these videos not just for the bikes but also for the tours around where you live. Unfortunately EU law states that if an E-bike has over 250W motor and/or a throttle it has ro be registered and insured and driven only on public roads like a motorbike. I therefore have a 28" Peugeot cargo bike with only 250W. I'm 6f5" and weigh over a 100kg so not much range. On my 4th motor, 3rd controller and second battery in 6 years. I'd buy a well made bike in a heartbeat if I found one made for big kids like me😂.
Chris make sure you get you a lithium ion battery storage bag, one big enough to fit the battery in, these are known to catch fire, definitely wouldn't store in the house or even garage, maybe have a separate shed, a small.metal she'd to store your e bike in would be the safest.
So glad found you thanks to TH-cam algorithm. I’m actually not far also in bucks around Warminster. You are like our local Andrew Camarata lol. Been binging both your channels love your long distance trips and local stuff especially since it’s home for me. Didnt know about ogills I’m assuming that park is Tullytown. Anyway awesome stuff and can’t thank you enough for awesome content
Never miss Chris' updates😎👍👍!!! I have been researching the fat-tire E-Bike market for the past few weeks. The i7pro is a beast! The folding frame, large power, plenty of torque, hydraulic brake and decent range have met all my expectations to show on an e-bike.. It would be a bike for rush time and daily outings. Your video already proved it all. Mr. and Mrs. Superman will order for their next trip⛺. Love it!
Ha.. I love the train obsession you have and riding along the railway Very cool that you appreciate trailer park homes. Being a Brit import into the US, we used to think trailer parks where a cool place to be back in the day when we saw American movies, but they are not appreciated as much in this day and age. It's a shame really. Oh yeah, the E bike is cool. I'm really considering getting one. What do you do with the ones you have reviewed?
I've heard a few scenarios happen. 1. The ebike is returned for others to review 2. The ebike is never asked to be returned but, technically, can't be sold. 3. The ebike is never asked to be returned and the reviewer becomes the owner (can keep, sell or give away).
Great ebike reviews. Like the bike review mixed with searching down Fixititup boats. Boat owners have dreams of being on the water for cheap. All the reviews never say what the MSRP information is. Good videos. Thanks
Hi Chris,another well videographed review. Gus is looking to get his eyes scratched a wee bit. Turbo can only take so much before the wild feline appears outta nowhere and strikes hard 😂 See you on the next one.
I live in south western Ct , but my grandparents lived in a neighborhood like that in Bucks County, if I remember it was called Melody lakes right off 309
Hey Chris! I love my folding E bike because I can easily put it in the back of my Toyota RAV4 . I would rather do that than have a bike sliding around in the bed on my truck!!
howdy and really like ur video's. just checking . I was wondering what kind of camera you use, and drone? It would be cool to see a video on those. Keep up the great work and can't wait to see ur next one. Peace out
the most important thing you missed in your review is the fact that most people who get an e-bike have no clue about emergency stopping when going 25 mph on a trail, street, or sidewalk where there could be pedestrians.
If I was going to buy a generic folding white brand ebike then I might as well buy the Lectric version which is pretty much the same thing but with a US warranty.
Did you do something to get the bike to go 28 mph? - I have the pro with a full battery the correct tires on the controller - 120 pounds and I can only get 23 mph on the flat -- customer service just gives me the runaround
Yes, they are all "re-brands" made by the same company. Each brand is then able to add different features to make it more appealing. However, support is important. I've been dealing with Vitilan and Lectric with both companies being very responsive.
Chris im interested in possibly buying a i7 . Curious if it would be possible to move the throttle to the right side of handle bars inbetween to the gear shift and grip.?
I don't have this bike anymore to take a look at it and check, but I would imagine worst case you have to extend the wires or maybe shipped some stuff over. Honestly I'm not sure if it could be done easily or not
Sometimes yes, sometimes no. If a company is early in their promotion period, typically, the review ebikes are sent on to other reviewers, Later on, any company may view it as a loss leader and allow the reviewer ownership of the ebike. Vitilan have been promoting the ebike the past year and may allow it to be kept.
looking for some one to tell me all the settings that come stock on the controller i got mine all out of wack trying to get it evened out with wifes u7
We purchased this Vivi 27.5” electric bike and a Tentaquil 26” electric bike for our 13 and 14 year olds. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxUiL0GnyDjP32RJdd660sP8mZk4CRLTCJ The Vivi was much easier to put together. With the Vivi, there was a video link to assist with assembly which made the process easier to follow (we did put the handlebars on upside down, but it was a quick and easy fix). With the Tentaquil, the assembly was not as simple to follow, but after we messaged the company for an assembly video, it was easier and they did respond quickly. The other major differences were that the Vivi has a grip throttle on the right handle (like a motorcycle) and the Tentaquil has a push throttle that you use your thumb to activate. The monitors were also different, so if you’re looking for something specific in terms of changing the bikes functions, pay attention to what the monitor offers. We were really impressed with the overall quality and functionality of both bikes, but if you’re looking for more power and an easier assembly, definitely go with the Vivi!
So no hill test, apart from when you threw your bike at that steep slope. I want to see how much juice it´s got and if it can climb at all? Also a water test, to see if your jacket stays clean on the back, that back mudguard looks way too short? No, was very disappointing to see.

Have same bike and absolutely love it with upgrades I did 👍
I own a Surnat S10
Thanks!
Wow, thank you so much! Really appreciate it
15:19 - A Pandrol 7083 is an anti-abrasion assembly (rail pad) that fits between the rail and the tie plate.

I like this bike, it's better than the last few that were reviewed IMHO. Good Job Chris!

Hey Chris, I really appreciate all these honest review videos. They keep me entertained while waiting for a video on the main channel. Your such a cool down to earth guy.
This is a proper test! E-bike Reviewers should take note
I'm not in the market for an E-bike, I'm more of an old-school pedal bike for exercise. However, I lOVE these reviews! Keep up the good work Chirs.
Gus is the first thing I always look for in yuor videos.
That lock is so cool, we have remnants of the Erie canal in Huntington,IN. Cool filming too!

Not typically into Battery Powered Bicycles, but really appreciated the scenery, and tour. Great Chanel! 💯
Wow, Vitilan must be pretty popular! 18K views in 2 wks? The I-7 looks like a winner! Full suspension and performs well...
those are vibration attenuator pads that are attached to the underside of the sleepers, they help increase the lifespan of the sleepers and ballast
Why would several of them be laying along the track like that? Is it common for them to fall off? Or were they replaced and discarded there?
This bikes gotta be the toughest folding e bike i've seen on youtube!
Really like the reviews, the drone footage is amazing ! Thank you for sharing
Great review!! Just subscribed. Scotty loves this bike, I can see why, great construction. I like the way your videos are done. No bs.
One of the best reviews I've seen.
Very entertaining guy :)
Nice video. Liked the whole ride. I'm about 2 weeks away from Vitilan shipping my i7 Pro. I currently have the original Lectric XP (which is good) but my back is telling me get a full suspension. Same thing with pedal mountain bikes I had ... moved up to full suspension over time.
Another great bike and adventure ride
I had a lot of Ritalin when I was a kid, this looks like a lot more fun. That material would be perfect to quiet down a fairing on a motorcycle.
another great vid chris , keep them coming 👍
This one looks really nice.
Thank you, nice tripping around ,keep up the great work
Vibration Dampeners. They go under the steel flat plate, between the RR Ties and the rail. where the spikes get pounded down to clamp the rail down.
Hey Chris, congrats. I see this video is now up on Vitilan's site, that should be good for the channel.
Thanks for the hat! I'll wear it proudly! There aren't many folding 20" fat tire bikes that have full suspension .... that's a huge selling point but you didn't talk about it!

Gus is a great addition.
Thx for actually pushing it dude
First time I've seen apehangers on an electric bicycle!
Gus is the best
The Gus cameos are the cutest!
great vid dude. THanks, Also, dog is legit
Always a detailed overview in all of your videos..Hopefully you can show us all of your E- bikes 🚲 seems you have quite the collection..

Yea the rear suspension feels like it’s not providing much to comfort. Maybe I’m wrong?
Great review!!
I live in a trailer community and we all took our awnings off also but we are in Florida with wicked HURRICANES AND THE WIND CATCHS UNDER IT AND RIPS THE SIDE OF THE HOUSE OFF
Yeah that definitely makes sense for Florida. I suppose they could have been ripped off with a recent storm that came around here too
Cool little side Adventure there, I like checking out things you film because your down so chill and down to earth. Gotta love
Gus man givener. Did you go get those awnings? My name Chris toi and I get called a hoarder.
Great job Chris keep em coming. I'll send you a shot of the clearance $36.00 e bike I got coming from China. If it ever gets here that is lol

Gus is a badass, he ain’t afraid of no bike😂.
Hi Chris,another well videographed review.
Gus is looking to get his eyes scratched a wee bit.
Turbo can only take so much before the wild feline appears outta nowhere and strikes hard 😂
See you on the next one.
Nnkh fix the Ford LTD from last of the road 02 color green where you bought the red branko
I"m still going with the Heybike B based on what I need Maybe my next one based on this reiviw! Thank you!
Chris great vid .can u review the Zero electric or the live wire 1...peace out
Chris, you are definitely overusing the word "heavy-duty”... in ALL videos 🤣🤣🤣
Thumbs up 👍 assembly and go ✅
I live in south western Ct , but my grandparents lived in a neighborhood like that in Bucks County, if I remember it was called Melody lakes right off 309
Nnkh you love fixing old cars
Love you and your videos! That being said, you're missing an 'i" in the Vitlan name... Vitilian :)
Thanks!
You didn't answer the biggest question Chris. Did you get the awnings
No unfortunately I didn't have a chance to go back there and I'm sure they disappeared real quick. Good scrap metal at the very least
@NoNonsenseKnowHow 2 to bad hopefully they found a good home I hate seeing things that are usable go to the scrap yard
Hey Chris! I love my folding E bike because I can easily put it in the back of my Toyota RAV4 . I would rather do that than have a bike sliding around in the bed on my truck!!
Nice one Mr 😎
I wouldn’t feel right watching one of your videos if wasn’t raining at some point. My gosh does it ever stop there?
Where is this canal?
It needs a narrow boat or two!
Thanks for the video. How would you compare this to the Luna Eclipse (also folding, full suspension, 1000 watt )
Thanks for checking it out. And I'm not sure I haven't ridden one of those
howdy and really like ur video's. just checking . I was wondering what kind of camera you use, and drone? It would be cool to see a video on those. Keep up the great work and can't wait to see
ur next one. Peace out
I think he uses a go pro for a bunch of shots. He definitely does a good job keeping the camera quality nice
Nice bike. Good video.
It was helpful. Thank you.
I wonder if Hobo Shoestring might know what the pads along tracks are?
Looks like they’re pads that go between the rails and the ties to deaden vibration and increase the lifespan of the hardware/track.
Does anyone know how this compares to the Vitilan V3? I know it's a little slower
I watch this channel for GUS
i wanne see this 500$ Boat-Project on your Mainchannel! :D
the most important thing you missed in your review is the fact that most people who get an e-bike have no clue about emergency stopping when going 25 mph on a trail, street, or sidewalk where there could be pedestrians.
Hey Chris have you done regular bike to ebike conversion or have a recommendation for one? Thanks
What would you prefer the vitilan i7 or the polarna M6 they look so close alike
? Thank you
How long from when you ordered it to receiving it ?
Any idea of the weight of that thing (I haven't finished the video yet)? I wonder how easy it would be to load up for moving around in/on a vehicle.
81lb. It's at the end
I've been thinking of getting an e bike to help me start riding. I'm pretty out of shape, weigh about 350. I thought about one of the lectric trikes.
i love your video but can you tell me how many miles range can you get on throttle alone.
Kegger? What'd you have? Any tasty local brewery?
Seems remarkably similar to my Engwe Engine Pro
If I was going to buy a generic folding white brand ebike then I might as well buy the Lectric version which is pretty much the same thing but with a US warranty.
Did you do something to get the bike to go 28 mph? - I have the pro with a full battery the correct tires on the controller - 120 pounds and I can only get 23 mph on the flat -- customer service just gives me the runaround
Does this motor have a planetary gear or is it direct drive?
Que fino
Looks ... and sounds a lot like the Engwe Engine Pro ?!

@@NNKH2 hay appreciate the answer.
How to unlock it to full speed?
is it possible to trim it to higher max speed than 40-45km /H?
Why don’t you have the bike any more?
Because I sold it
@@NNKH2
Obviously lol. Didn’t like it? Problems?
Do you get to keep the bikes?
Sometimes yes, sometimes no.

it fits a 20AH battery, which the seller gives a choice of only 16AH
Yes rekumperation batérií charge
Maybe let the battery cool down.before you recharge it?
looking for some one to tell me all the settings that come stock on the controller i got mine all out of wack trying to get it evened out with wifes u7
Gus is awesome
You rode right pass my house

So no hill test, apart from when you threw your bike at that steep slope. I want to see how much juice it´s got and if it can climb at all?
Also a water test, to see if your jacket stays clean on the back, that back mudguard looks way too short?
No, was very disappointing to see.
