"Uphill on a 15% incline" 🤣. Dude that looks essentially flat, and the steepest grade legally allowed on highways is between 3-6%. I appreciate the review all the same!
@@billstock3663 top speed on the standard controller is 20mph with just the throttle. With pedal assist you could push close to 30 depending on surface and weight. Unlocked throttle only I can get it up to 37-38mph on a straight away.
@@yoursixadventures OK what about a bike hitch, I have a one wheel, barely coho, XC trailer, and I’m curious if the axle on the bike would be able to take a bolt on hitch
No it doesn’t, you can move it. I replaced mine entirely with a twist throttle on the right hand side. Freesky has a twist throttle for $60 on their website for anyone who doesn’t like the thumb throttles in general.
@@billstock3663 absolutely, the only thing I’m not happy about is you can get them for cheaper than what I paid for mine. I paid $1800 for mine on Amazon a couple months ago, now you can get them for $1400 or less. The quality of the bike is superb and the ride is fun. It’s a heavy bike though probably around 90-100lbs. I’m not the tallest person either at 5’5” so is a little big for me, but I manage fine. This will climb a hill no issues without pedaling. I upgraded my control box to the unlocked version so I don’t have a limiter on the throttle, gets me to 37-38mph on a straight ride with just throttle alone.
I heard the unlock speed controller makes you have less torque. Did you find your torque increase or decrease with that controller. I like to ride in hills and do not want to loose torque. Thanks!!
Legally in the US ebikes are limited to 20mph throttle... otherwise you'd have to get license etc because it wouldn't be classified as a bicycle anymore... more like a motorcycle
@IJustSkitMyPants the legal part is true. I didn't say anything about what bikes do what... I'm stating that's what the feds regulations state. U can look it up. Most ebikes won't do more than 20 on throttle.
I haven't received my new bike yet but would like to add another battery....Do you have more info on how you did it?
Can you show how to install the stuff you put on it please
What is all the rattling over bumps? That would drive me crazy.
Do you know if they offer the extra battery for the other bikes?

Hello my friend. Thank you for the video. I'm considering this bike. Is it hard to switch controllers for unlocking speed? Ty.
It probably took me 10 minutes to do. I thought it was relatively easy.
Where did you get the battery and can you include the name/model no./serial no.
Secondary battery
what was your top speed with the original controller? I'm about ready to buy this bike.

Is it possible to disconnect the top battery and still run the bike using the built-in battery?
Yes, I was able to ride fine.
I just wanted to buy an extra battery for longer trips.

Is this bike have a torque sensor or is it a cadence sensor?
Freesky's are cadence.
Is the throttle variable speed or just full on and off?
It’s variable. It’s easier to move slow on just motor. The pedal assist could kick in and make you go faster than you want.
Does the throttle have to be on the left?
No it doesn’t, you can move it. I replaced mine entirely with a twist throttle on the right hand side. Freesky has a twist throttle for $60 on their website for anyone who doesn’t like the thumb throttles in general.
@@DemonicaInfernus I'm about ready to buy this Swift Horse are you happy with the bike so far? Are you able to climb a hill without having to peddle?

Huh, I thought that was my extra battery I added, but I did notice less torque.
I use to be able to spin my tires and kick up gravel in my drive way
I did notice less torque
Hey bro start pedaling
So out of the box this bike won’t hit 35 with just throttle?

@@MrMeech76 not true cause I have Super 73 RX and it’ll do 32 with throttle only.

I never liked my own comment that is weird
