We have ridden road and Mtn bikes for years but as we’re in our 70’s we can’t go every where we would like to go. I really appreciate your honest review of this bike. It has a lot of features which I really like, definitely under consideration. I have a DJI Mavic Air 2 and it would be so much fun to have videos of us on our new bikes on a new adventure

I know you couldn't review other e-bikes that you don't have but it would be nice to know how it stacks up against other e-bikes. I'm sure there has to e some comparative data out there somewhere. Thanks for sharing and I hope you have lots of fun chasing yourself with active track.

Russ your style of tech presentation is spot on. I never feel like you are biased, always presenting the positive and negatives. On the issue of needing more e-bike comparisons, your review is a perfect plan for us to use in reviewing other e-bikes on our own. Renting e-bikes is easy and not that expensive. The best part of renting to review is that in today’s world rental locations are usually close to trails and terrain that you want to test on. I would suggest any first time purchaser of an e-bike rent and try before you buy. Even if you cannot rent the exact brand or model you want your experience will make you a smarter consumer. Thanks for all of your great videos. Cheers

Awesome!! I just bought an bike this summer too!! I’ve driven it 1400 km since July. You’re right they are a lot of fun! My brother and I each bought the Addmotor M-66 R7. Similar specs to yours except a little longer range. We drove them 50km without peddling and one day we drove them 60 km (38 miles) with some peddling and still had 2 out of 5 bars of power left over. These things are a lot of fun. We also get a lot of people asking about them.

I've watched all of your DJI and others vids and it's really nice how you lay them out. It makes it really easy to understand and learn something. They are also very, very thorough. Awesome job!!🖖

Most KZbin drone content creators test the active track in new drones and this is an outstanding tool to do that with.

This one was perfect because I too am just starting to look for an ebike and I watched a review of one that Ken Heron got and now yours. It is interesting to see the pros and cons and to see it put to the test in the environments that we will all most likely be in ourselves.

As a taller person at 6'3", I'm really surprised that they are limiting the market reach of the bike by having a non-adjustable seat but as this looks more like a moped than a traditional bike maybe that form factor limits adjustability. I noticed on their website that they have do have other e-bike models that are more like mountain bikes with adjustable seat height.
