As a follow up to my previous comment on my water in control box issue, I left the bike for a few more days to let everything dry out, and then all was well, with no more sudden unexpected start issues. i have since made a rubber flap from a piece of old tyre, and glued that to the front of the hole in the box, which works really well for preventing water from being thrown in through the hole from the front wheel.. As the flap is made of rubber, I am still able to remove the the plug on the power lead through the hole if I need to remove the rear wheel. I will now use a small nut and bolt to attach the flap, as the glue will probably not last.
As I understand there is only cadence sensors and you cant really use it effectively for slow speeds, correct? How about the throttle, how sensitive is it to use for low speeds? I would like to see this tested on a more technical track to see if this config is up to it or if it is a highway cruiser.
I've had this bike for a few months now, and I thought it a great bike until yesterday. Yesterday I took the bike along the local canal, where unfortunately there were lots of muddy puddles. I've never really got this bike wet from water coming from the wheels before. On the way home, the motor kept cutting out and cutting back in repeatedly. While walking back onto my property, the bike suddenly lurched forward out of my grasp and ended up lying on the ground. I picked up the bike, and once again it lurched forward, so I turned off the power. On inspecting the bike today, I noticed that there is a fairly large hole in the bottom of the box which is housed around the bottom bracket. This box houses the bike's controller, where three cables come out of the hole, one for the motor's power, one for the gears and one for the rear brake. On removing the metal panel from the side of the box, I discovered that inside of the box was quite wet, and there were also traces of mud. I dried out the box and replaced the metal panel. I then tested the bike and all seemed well, I then stood the bike up with the built in stand, walked away, and the motor fired up again, then cut out, then fired up once more.This bike as it is, is fekking dangerous! It's obvious to me that the water which was thrown into the box from the front wheel is the clear cause of the problem. The placing of the controller in that box is really the worst place that it could be, and if it has to be there, then the box should be fully water proof! I now have to contact the seller for a solution. I had a Sheng-Milo MX20 electric bike a few years ago, and experienced a similar thing with that bike. Are Chinese E-Bikes worth buying?
@CampingSecretsUK The different p settings & the in setting specifically, I'm guessing the in setting is either incline setting or wheel diameter perhaps.
I bought my son a RV800 and it didnt have the 'quick release pin' in the box.. LANKELEISI have sent me the fork..which i didnt need..with a black bar attached to it BUT still no quick release pin..
I bought my son a RV800 and it came without the 'quick release pin' and LANKELEISI have sent me a front fork...which i didnt need..with an attached black bar instead..no quick release pin
In general, this bike has poor-quality components. The brakes are bad; I've already broken one. They installed an outdated and unreliable freewheel instead of a cassette. The rear fender is loose. The freewheel is already bent, even though I've only been riding for two months. This bike is not worth the money. It's better not to buy Chinese bikes! The build quality and components are inferior.
I never did a full range test, but on the lowest power setting I had many 10 mile rides and barely dented the battery. On max power, obviously less range

Thanks Ken - I need to do this! Been riding the x3000 Max lately - 2000W!
That looks a great bike. I would love one of those, but thought I may be pushing my luck with the coppers! Safe riding👍@@CampingSecretsUK

Wow Ken, that is a serious issue! I'll have a look myself and also contact the company. Thanks very much for your feedback
Have seen the hole?@@CampingSecretsUK
How do you go about de restricting the bike? I own this bike and it’s something I’ve been wanting to do
Can you pedal it at walking pace? Looking for a ebike with slow control as we have alot of double gates and i ride with my kids
I'm surprised they put the brake levers on the handle bars
Where would you put them?
Do you just buy them online or is there a dealership somewhere. Is it possible looking at the frame to fit a longer seat post?
Online mate. I guess that's a bit of a downside, but I think they'll get a local bike shop to do the warranty if something goes wrong. Need to check
What settings on the display screen have you set the bike at? Can't find anything definitive on what they should be.
Not sure what you mean mate. Can you expand on what you mean and I can go check. I've derestricted the bike if that's what you mean

Bejaysus! This is the only problem with these bikes - the language barrier and customer service. That being said, the bike is stonking for the money

Is this Sutton park?
Yes, well spotted!
