You can adjust your shifter limits yourself. Your derailleur (shifter device in the back) has two screws on it that limit the range of how far the shifter arm goes. They probably have it adjusted so that it doesn't go into 1st really well, because if you adjust that limit screw too far it'll shift past 1st gear and the chain will come off. You also have to be cautious you don't adjust the screws so that it shifts off the largest gear, if it does that while you're riding it can send the chain into the spokes and cause lots of problems.
I think these is the same model bike some cities in Europe use as their official city e-bike rental thing... Thats why this might be relatively cheap and has front basket mount by default...
This bike reminds me a lot of the ones that we have in the Netherlands. Uber and other random companies rent them out and they look pretty much the same
Curious what your thoughts are on mid drive vs hub drive. I’ve always felt the puddle assist is more seamless in mid drives rather than feeling like a throttle
Good job on the review. Did want to give you one FYI though. Because it has a throttle, it is actually not legal. A class 3E bike is pedal assist only. Probably would never have no problems with it, but because you had mentioned if someone wanted a legal bike.
They aren't backward 🤦🏼♀️the handlebars are in a normal position, the stem is pointed backward, and while not traditional, it's a perfectly acceptable way to mount the bars to reduce reach as long as the stem does not place the bars too far behind the steerer tube. Handlebars and stems are not the same thing.
Try and reach out to stealth e-bikes see if they want to send you one of their bikes for review i never bought one but had mad fun test riding one in Melbourne.
Maybe you would be interested in Rad Power Bikes? It's a "USA" designed brand of eBike instead of being some random brand name. I think if you like this bike, you would like the rad power. Though they're not cheap, and maybe they don't offer you a review model.
$800.00 sounds affordable for an E-Bike ... IF, and only IF one can get some trouble free miles with reasonable maintenance. I would as-soon walk than have a piece of junk to ride or spend 3 to 5 grand on some fancy boutique machine.
@@soy_leche Eh I take it as a review from the every day person(non expert) who this isnt their main hobby or interest, it can be an interesting perspective.
@@soy_leche People turn their stems backward to reduce reach. As long as the stem is short and doesn't place the bars too far behind the steerer tube, there's nothing wrong with it. It's hard to take people seriously when they feign knowledge of a subject they know nothing about.
@ I hear ya but I’m more traditionalist when it comes to bicycles, the step thru : over frame was designed for long blousey skits the geometry is not as good as a regular frame same with structural rigidity I mean in a sense at least right
You accept packages from every brand and promise to publish review videos, but in fact you only publish and recommend paid brand companies and make hypocritical videos. You accept all others and no longer reply to emails. People with bad faith should not be influencers...👎👎👎
I feel like you need to start an e-bike rental app --- looks like your inventory is getting stacked!
There’s an app called Spokeo that lets people rent out bikes

I already told him this 🥲
That's why it's an $800 e-bike; walk assist functions should only be available to a button being continuously depressed, not an on/off toggle.

you could 3d-print something instead of the front basket, maybe some type of a cover?
That’s a great suspension fork too!! Looks like it’s adjustable and even has a lockout to maximize efficiency!
Walk mode is pretty common and often has adjustable speed. Easier to get the bike home if you have a flat.
The off-road on an e-bike portion would enrage so many mountain bikers I know😇

Fixing the first gear problem is quite easy. Just an adjustment to rear derailleur.
I think the built in reflective wheel rims lets them exclude the cheap clip on spoke reflectors
Who mounted the handlebars in such a strange way, you can hardly watch it. This is bicycle abuse.
Find yourself a video on how to adjust the derailer because to get to first you just have to loosen one screw
You are literally my favorite TH-camr lol

Looks great for 1200 bucks. Love step thru e-bikes.
I’m way too high to watch the part where he went on the non bike trail at 20mph
● It's a nice e-bike, probably a city bike. *I must say that I also like this e-bike very much* 😁👍
Why are the handlebars backwards lol
Probably because he assembled it without reading the directions
@@ItsPizza. I think it’s because he’s short :)

@ u don’t gotta lecture me with proper terms lol I’m a bike mechanic. Alex knows what I mean

You should review a diy kit to compare to the prebuilt ones
Brother, your stem is on backwards!
What helmet do you have in this video? Thanks
bell super 3R, super comfy

That bike is like the train on GTA 5
Woah. You liked this one so much you skipped memebers first?
12:06 - That's karma for breaking ths rules.
Here because of the discord post
which ebike would you buy if you had that bread
engagement

Can you send me an e-bike? I've got some plans
Your handlebar is backwards 🙃
Yup, stem is backwards. Hard to take a bike review serious if they don't even know some basic things like that.

60 bucks for a high limit screw setting XDDDD
These are disposable...
i am not trying to be rude but that is a women's bike frame.
Be a man and accept the convenience of a step over frame

Oh shit second
why is your mouth numb???
Probably because of the cold air + windchill from cycling
Wtf is this? Is this not the same channel that was caught abusing reptiles? Same name, how, why?
When was he abusing reptiles? What did he do? Source plz. Not saying it didn't happen but I've never heard anything and I'd be surprised
Can you please send me a ebike im most likely not getting a Christmas this year I’ve been watching you for 3 years
Start putting fries in bags lil' bro.
@ bruh
@ I can’t

Love your videos but these ebike vids suck real bad
Maybe not your kind of video, I think it’s quite food
