41 MPH Ebike with BIG Range and Budget Price! Laifook Thunder Review

The Laifook Thunder is a new ebike with a large battery and a powerful direct drive hub motor capable of hitting speeds north of 40 mph depending on rider weight. The seat is particularly comfortable for a moped style ebike due to its shape and padding material. It's definitely not a light weight ebike as it clocks in around 150 lbs, but it's got a huge battery and a passenger seat with passenger pegs making it a great high speed cruiser capable of carrying a passenger as well. The price is very fair considering other ebikes offered on the market. It's not the fastest or most powerful ebike I've tried, but it does offer a unique balance of speed, range, affordability, style, and practicality.

@TailHappyTV Great review! You should do a review on the new E-Bycco EB10 it is a dual motor with 2 2000 watt motors. 5000 watts of peak power. Advertised to go 45 mph and on sale right now for $1339.😳

[@amerukhanjaguar]

Could you please review the Big Nui BGX?

[@dariancollins9746]

This is the most appealing bike I've ever seen. I'm only 5'5'" and I 165 pounds, would this be too big?

@ I think it’ll work

The black looks nice. The copper one i had was growing on me!

Happy you are doing well hope things are better than it seems take it easy and hope to see new videos soon ❤

[@spikelove9533]

Those are cook looking bikes. The big battery is nice. Its worth pointing out a direct drive will give you usually 5 x the life of a gear driven motor but it is a good idea to put ferromagnetic fluid in them sometimes I wish was just automatic

Hope you're ok and you didnt lose too much with all the fires. Thanks for the videos.

Love it. I have epilepsy so I can't drive. I don't want to crash a big car and kill someone so idc. I live in northern Minnesota which sucks. Barely any laws on these guys. I could get to work with this 😁 can't get disability because I don't have enough seizures.

[@Apexridezz]

I didn’t even know that people had to have a certain amount of seizures to be considered disabled I’m a disabled person with POTS ( search it up if you don’t know what it is!) Ik irrelevant but the main point of this comment is I didn’t know people had to have a certain amount of seizures!!

[@ramborambokitchenkitchen6357]

Isn’t it too cold for most of the year up there to be riding around an ebike

[@henrysniper8481]

I knew a girl who had enough seizures that she wasn't allowed to drive after a car accident, so I didn't see her for a number of years and apparently she had brain surgery and for more than 15 years she never had another seizure and has a legal driver's license and a nice car now.

[@NoInfoFound]

"Not exactly thrilling." I also looked up the controller on their website: "Controller: 48V, 45A current limit, 12-tube controller" Sweet! Going old-school with a tube based controller.

[@BruceGordon925]

Looked very good as you were putting it together,... Thought "Ok make a seat adjuster" And it's a possibility. Comparing to my Bandit X-Trail Pro, It FAILED all around, Except maybe distance.

[@icestationzebraassociates2460]

Hell yeah! Another XTP owner. I'm constantly comparing to mine and a lot don't stack up. I really like it. I ride mostly street and got street tread tires for christmas that I'm stoked to put on

Dude I just looked this bike is 5,000 originally now they have 56% off 2,200. I'm sorry buddy but I do not think that is budget friendly at all cool bike but definitely not budget-friendly.

A bike with these specs a few years ago was double the price. China is catapulting e-bikes into the space age.

[@kursed_aegis]

Maan that battery life is nice I’d honestly prefer a bike that has smooth power delivery in stock form if this had the ability to make it accelerate harder in the settings it would be perfect for now I love my wallke h7 but as I can’t help it id love to get a e-bike with a bench seat one day

[@HallaYourself]

$150 off and free shipping. Dang. I'll keep your videos for sure.

[@ericbevins3858]

Everyone always says gearless hub motor not know for torque but the goat power bikes have same motor and have wayyyy more torque than almost every geard hub motor I see tested.. it just comes down to how many amps the controller is feeding to the motor tbh..

[@ahmedmoustafa34]

Hi mate hope you and your family are all well regarding the fire in LA wish you all safe

[@TailHappyTV]

all good, considering evacuating today due to all the smoke blowing here from the eaton fire, but no fires near me

[@GuamanianHarmonLoop]

When I big guy reviewing an electric bike tells you it's heavy I would recommend riders under 165 lbs to steer clear. I purchased another eBike based on one of TailHappyTV's reviews but I didn't take him seriously when he said the Wallke H9 AWD was heavy. I paid $1800 for an eBike I hate to ride.

I wish I had invested in that 7 speed Shimano shifter!

Awesome looking and performing bike, which is why I really wish that "Laifook Thunder" logo on both sides wasn't there. It really spoils the otherwise beautiful lines and look of the bike.

Are you gonna review the ANIIOKI V7 yet????

Try putting the fender Hanger under the fender.

[@brians7613]

FreeGo has a 53Ah battery with a 1000 W motor in the back and a 1000 W motor on the front wheel . top speed of 42 mph. All-wheel-drive is excellent for climbing hills going through the sand very similar to this bike, but I do see freeGo as being better because of it’s all wheel Drive it pulled me out of a deep ditch one time with no effort at all

[@NaMossberg]

Looks great!

[@Friedbrain11]

It is a great price and since I am only 6' tall it would be about perfect for me. I prefer the 48v battery voltage. I need something like this for my needs here where I live.

[@zaire.mg.]

I think it should’ve traded 2-3 mph up top for some low end torque… that red light stop looks a little concerning especially for a bike not really meant to pedal.

and it depends how the motor is made (kv value or rpm at a given voltage) ... if it's made for 48v.. sure it goes faster with 52 ... (why not use 60, 72, 84?!?) my seeker 26 is a dualmotor dualbattery 52v 45Ah hill climber... but this one is more an emoto (e moped) as an Ebike 48v and 50Ah is a big pack (14s10p 5Ah cells??) ... if they now would sell a front motor kit with a 2nd controller ... THAT WOULD BE SUPERB

Hi Matt, Are you ever concerned about battery fires? Especially with so many ebikes in your house. How long do you charge your batteries from a safety standpoint?

I’m not, but my rule is I only charge them while I’m home, and not while sleeping

Personally, i think the laws are all f'd the hell up, we just need define all vehicles by their total kinetic capacity. Like, theres light vehicles like these, and then theres vehicles that can do real carnage.

[@MrJones-ti1gx]

@TailHappyTV what are your thoughts on using a higher amp charger vs whats supplied? Comes with a 2a but i want a 3a. Not this bike its for the H8.

[@dg9bfc]

I use a variable charger that I can set to any voltage between 42v and 88.8v... and between 2 and 15 amps switching your 2 amp charger against a 3 amps is safe.. just works a bit faster even 4 or 5 amp maybe could be used just see what your pack can take as max charge and stay a tiny bit below that for safety and cell life if 3 amp is good enough for your needs then just buy one ... check if it "cooks" the battery or if it switches off after full charge (2nd is a bit safer in my view ... 1st is a bit better for cell balancing at the end)

[@tenncutt]

That's not a seat, that's a saddle! Not a battery either, that's a power plant! Good video

[@Mercstar]

12:24 Says the motor is 48v 1200w. But to be honest I'm just surprised a 48v system can achieve 40+ mph.

[@GreytideWorldwide]

A lot of higher end ebike controllers let you really crank the amps so assuming your motor and controller can handle the extra heat it should work

[@dg9bfc]

depends on how the motor is made (kv number or rpm per volt)

[@davidclark3147]

The problem with those things dude is who's going to leave the house with that charger running And you have to keep them lithium batteries at a certain state of charge everybody's getting to know that Good luck

[@jaytachibana7633]

...so a ton of ebikes show up at your house or condo or whatever, and you rip and kick the box apart and then I assume you start recording video while you check out the bike and review it, etc..but over how long a period of time. So many reviews I feel fall short of some pretty crucial info, such as how long do the bikes last and the components last. It's so easy to review a brand new ebike. start actually helping people, and review e-bikes that are 3 years old, and help us decide which ones are the best value over time. Time is the most important aspect of investments.
