I have a Qlife Racer 1000 watt 21 speed with 48 volt 10.4 mh battery 28 mph speed and arriving Monday. I have looked at a lot of ebikes but I wanted one that was under $500.00 and still good quality. It came down between Qlife and ActBest Apex which both budget bikes are very nice and come in various colors. If I had a long commute I'd have probably spent more but my riding will be locally so I wanted a quick bike that I could throttle for reasonable distances. I looked at the Ranger but didn't like the frame style and rims. A personal choice but everyone has their likes and dislikes.
@mrgreen2769 ...congratulations! That sounds great and 28mph is nice! Happy for you...get out and LIVE LIFE is what it is all about! 🦵💪⚡️🚴♂️. RIDE Safe!
Ha ha ha....only because I keep all of the boxes....I need to streamline and get rid of some boxes. I have too much bike stuff and parts and things....and I use the boxes as tables..... BUT I do have more bikes and trikes than I ever imagined when I started TH-cam about 12 months ago. IN Fact, TH-cam was simply going to be my to way to PREACH to people to GET OUT and LIVE LIFE through Electric Bikes....and my real estate/legal tips...and for me to "relive" my rides AND it has turned into much more! Thank you for the support!!!
Unfortunately I have to take my Nakto to a repair shop to get fixed. 2 new controllers, one new display. Now my throttle does not work. They are very quick to respond though. They sent me the previous Nakto F2 with no problems. This F4 has been a nightmare. Hopefully once the bike shop repairs it, I can finally give it a review on my channel.
That sucks....but the Customer Service is outstanding. I am going to continue to ride this bike hard...just like I did with the OX and try and break it....maybe even going to the Firetower today. :)
You old fart...you are older than me.....ha ha ha....on the 21st! :) I never even imagined I would see 60. My mom passed away not long after 60 from a 19 year battle with breast cancer in 1998....and my dad 3 years later from cancer in 2001....also not too far past 60..... Good for both of us!!🙏
Mountain bike style...I have over 40 miles....makes me feel like I am on my mountain bike....makes me want to pedal. BUT at the end of 18+ miles....my knees hurt.
18 miles 😲, but you did go trekking through the woods, not an ideal start for a mileage test 😅 But, it's the lousy 8ah battery that's the problem. I can't get my head round why ANY E-bike company would put such a weak 'range' battery on their bikes - 48v is ok, but 8Ah?!?!?! It's just dumb, as what use is an E-bike that will only do about 20 miles from a full charge???!!???? Other than the terrible mileage it seems like an ok-ish performer. I can see the short handlebars being annoying for those who like to put a tonne of crap on them 😂 too. And also, when are these E-bike makers gunna start putting suspension seat-posts on their bikes that lack any form of rear comfort?!? Not a bad E-bike, but whomever at Nakto that decided to slap an 8ah battery on it needs sacking 😮😂 it's ludicrous what with the mileage other e-bikes are getting now, anything less than 40 miles of range, well it's just far too "Old school E-bike", not acceptable Nakto. Great review (as per usual) Bruce. 👍⚡🚲
Honestly 18 miles on a 8AH battery isn't bad, especially with rough trails. I built my wife's 350W 7.8AH bike, and it gets 19 miles on flat rail trails.
@ebike_tinkerer They probably advertise it as a 40+ mile range e-bike, but the reality is much worse - either way, it's not good for an E-bike in 2024... I was getting roughly this range from my Cyclamatic Powerplus 250w 24v way, way back 8 years ago. Nobody wants an E-bike with a lousy 20 miles range, it defeats the object of having an E-bike as everyone now wants great range. I'm not knocking it as an E-bike, as other than it's range issue it seems pretty decent. But let's face it, range is a massive selling point nowadays for an E-bike 👍

Hey, at least you remembered a mirror 😊
Ha ha ha...because the bars are narrow...I could use the bar kind. Makes me feel like I am on a regular bike....
Decent, really all someone needs for flat. Just swap a 52T ring
Yes...that is a good idea. Thank you my Friend!
I love when bikes have good welds that’s awesome ❤
And can hold a 260 lb fat man bouncing up and down hills..... I really appreciate them. :)
Good video Bruce!

Your garage is filling up quickly, good sir.

great stealthy bike!
Yes....I love that feature....
I wonder if that is the same battery as on my Nakto Santa Monica? The shape looks identical but the SM is 10 amp hours and the Ranger is 8.
It does not have any markings on it......Thank you my Friend!
Bruce what day in February I turn 60 on the 16th
You old fart...you are older than me.....ha ha ha....on the 21st! :) I never even imagined I would see 60. My mom passed away not long after 60 from a 19 year battle with breast cancer in 1998....and my dad 3 years later from cancer in 2001....also not too far past 60..... Good for both of us!!🙏
I don’t love the handlebars they look too small

@ebike_tinkerer I suppose to just use it for a very local rider it's not too terrible, but 8ah is still low by today's standards 👍
Thinking about it, guys like us like going long range. IMHO this is more for the novice that's looking for a lighter bike that looks "normal"
@MickyBee73 By today's standards you're right. But going with 8AH reduces the weight for those that prioritize weight.
