Can't help but notice those frames are so similar to Lectric's XP 2.0 frames, they possibly came out of the same Chinese factory.
@KevCentral Жыл бұрын
They’re only similar in the respect that they are folding e-bikes with one internal battery. The rear of the frame is completely different

I looked at your demo and purchased the pink ES. I like the power, speed, and distance on the batteries. The only drawback I am having is that it is taking as many as 5 revolutions for the power assist to kick in. I can't believe I can't figure out the problem. I will put it next to my Electric 2.0 all day long and keep on riding when my wife battery drain takes her in the house. Thanks for the recommendation. I look forward to the next bike that you suggest that will peek my interest.

After a lot of research, I settled on the step thru Janus ES, Black model. I've had mine for over a month now & really enjoy it. It does have supported customer service, which I've already utilized. Not with an issue, but with a vin# question, in which they got back to me with. It's a fun bike, I'm still learning about fat tire usage on stony terrains. Cool to know about the Janus meaning! Thanks for your review. 👍

@@soorajs5735There is a KZbinr that uses a Victrip Titan for Uber eats. That bike has a 750 watt motor. He uses his in Houston, Texas. I've been riding my Janus ES on the backroads in PA, which are gravel & some are too steep for my bike to climb. I kind of wonder if I should have gotten a 750 watt motor? I have had to get off & use pedal assist to make it up those gravel hills when they get too steep. I think the gravel may be a culprit too though. I can't recall the name of the guy that uses the Titan, but he's easy to find on YT.

Love ebikes. I can't justify getting one right now, ut, as I get older I will own one, some day:) Folding fat tire bikes just make since, great for storage and could throw in the back of the car if you need/want to.

Thank you very much for this video, I was interested in the capacity of the batteries separately, everything is clear in your video. But 20 Amperes is not enough for two batteries.
@Alttabbins Жыл бұрын
That’s a lot of bike for the price. The first thing I thought was I bet the batteries were low quality but them being so open with the UL listing and the testing is awesome. I have an original XP and the cost of buying 2 batteries for it is close to what this entire bike is going for. That’s great. Hopefully they have good customer service. If they do, other brands need to look out.

@@KevCentral OK. If I misunderstood you or you misspoke, fair enough. But you NEED to cut corners to get this price with 1000wh battery. Also, I am not saying that YOU are lying about anything. The papers they sent you don't mean jack if they are cheating and substituting the good cells with cheap ones that are mislabeled. Really, can we trust ANYTHING coming out of China? Even well known brands end up with fakes in their legitimate products. The Chinese literally put fake storm drains on the ground next to fire hydrants not hooked up to any piping. They literally paint dead mountainsides green so it looks good. They literally staple fake plastic leaves to dead trees. They mix sawdust into their concrete to save money when making buildings. There is video of an overpass in China, that is, an elevated road with 2 feet of water because the drains were fake. How can water even accumulate on an elevated road? They found a way.
