Great Value, Honest experience
Sofar best entry leve E-bike for price and parts. The throttle came falling off the handle bars but I was changing the grips anyway. So bought a finger triggered replacement throttle for $12. And replaced the front and back tires for more durable ones. Bike runs amazing. For a 350 watt was not expecting to have so much range. For the price this is a Grade A bike. Looking forward to doing commutes with this bike. I got the bells and whistles for it too, will post pictures and update review when I finish setting up the upgrades.(One week ownership)Edit: It’s been about 3 1/2 weeks of ownership.I still think it’s a good e-bike for the cost. It meets my power needs, look through the manual and turn it into a 5 level PAS instead of the 3Level it comes default factory settings.(this will help conserve power)I’ll do quick trips around the neighbor hood(groceries, gym, cruzing) roughly 7-10 mile trips there and back.Usually it’ll knock down half the battery(2-3 bars/5). Im mostly using the throttle, ill PAS up hills.I’ve stress tested the battery and done 26miles in a day, roughly 70% of my trip was throttle. Didn’t break a sweat and was fun to ride. The assist makes hills effortless. You need to learn how to ride it between shifting gears and the level of PAS you use. Easy learning curb.So out of the box, my throttle was falling off handles as mentioned before, then the adjustable stem connecting the handlebars kept coming loose so I bought a new one. Doing research I’ve found that the tires that come with it will usually puncture easily so you will need new tires. My rear break was squeaking so I bought new brake pads and replaced it.It’s a solid bike for the price but be prepared to give some TLC if you wanna make this your daily commuter. In total I’ve spent a mandatory $90 on the replacement parts(new wheels,new grips,new throttle,brake pads,new stem)Not sure if the stem was a problem for others as I am an aggressive rider and love to take it through dirt and rocks. Popping on and off curbs.You will probably just need new wheels $30 otherwise it’s a problem waiting to happen if you’re using their factory wheels and you’ll soon be walking home on one of your trips.I didn’t want to send it back but I’m sure the company would have replaced the other parts if I was willing to wait and reship the bike but I was planning to do these upgrades anyway.I also have a new bike seat, nothing wrong with the one they give you. It was comfortable, I just wanted more padding for longer trips. I have a rear rack and pannier bag, added the mirrors, phone holder, cup holder, alarm system, FENDERS(you will need) buy cheap ones $5, turning signals and night lights on the wheels.I must say that you should be carful when installing upgrades because the paint will scratch off if ur not cautious. Not good to leave exposed metal to the elements.This has been my experience with the bike sofar. It works for me but forsure there are some better options such as the ancheer 500w and maybe the tot guard if it’s a 500w can’t remember but those are also available on Amazon. I will be upgrading my battery and installing a second one soon to 3x the power ($250) so I’m not to worried, eventually I’ll also get a better motor but this is my first e-bike.If you don’t plan on upgrading your bike and just want something that needs no fixes out of the factory then I’d explore other options.Ver másVer menos
