E-Lux Sierra Review - $1.6k

[@teammxm]

Thanks Court had fun with this one. you did a great job of editing, we all appreciate the positive massage you bring to our industry

[@ElectricBikeReview]

Thanks for hanging out with me for this review, Sam! I had a lot of fun and enjoyed your references to the Honda 90 and the burnouts :D

[@spiritsoul5060]

I just purchased a lectric xp and it seems like basically the same bike for a much better price. I loved the review;-)

[@mikeb4471]

Spirit Soul same here man!

[@bruceh3786]

Same here.

[@metalmicky]

And here! Needs to be a lot cheaper

[@jayman94fly]

Same

[@HamidShibataBennett]

I test rode the Sierra at Cynergy E-Bikes in Portland... it felt great. I am still saving my pennies for a folding electric bike. Thanks for another great review! I always enjoy your vids with Sam.

[@ElectricBikeReview]

Awesome! Thanks for the positive feedback Hamid, I liked this one too. Keep on saving! I'd love to hear which bike you decide on ;)

[@GroovyVideo2]

looks real similar to lectric xp - like same bike

[@chapter4travels]

Stan is still a kid at heart.

[@deridionentertainment]

I got that bike I just want the version with suspension other than that I love the bike because u don’t have to leave the key in like all other ebikes

[@D13-x5s]

So many great e bikes to choose from these days! Thx for all the amazing work.

[@bobsullivan5714]

Ecotric....Same bike, half the price....Lovin' mine!

[@willytorrez990]

Nice. But does it rust easy. .. how does the rims and spoke hold up ... are they strong. .. and do they have mag wheels. ... ☺

[@mrmomb]

Same frame as the lectric xp.

[@rzu7120]

I had those same ($7/pair on ebay) pedals on my Goplus bike. At 50 miles, one snapped. I replaced them with the MKS FD-7s. No more flexing and breaking.

[@rambochan8333]

Hello , You guys awesome giving reviews for ebikes. You reviewed the Rad power utility.. Which you like better this Elux sierra or Rad power Utility? because I am debating folding ebikes, like Magnum folding , then came up this Rad power ulitity (price wise) and this Elux sierra which I like the tray at the front.. I live in San Francisco. ..Thank you so much

[@JojoCrazyCat]

This bike is much like the Rebel . Fat tires, racks, folds up for small storage spaces, both heavy duty looking.

[@clintbaldwin977]

I'm about the same size and weight as Sam. Im wondering how comfortable the bike is for extended periods of time for a bigger guy? I really like this style of bike but want to make sure it would be comfortable for me as I would ride it often.

[@kfekadu55]

Court please do a review of the Luna cycle bikes I’m split between buying that or the giant quick + Been reading the forums there and I just need another perspective on the bikes. Also do you think commercial bikes like the giant are underpowered? Or overpriced? I’m thinking of getting there Luna cycle lone wolf roam model

[@philbert3866]

Hey Court, Hope your getting ready to leave the beach and head to interbike!!😉

[@susanmerritt8331]

I was wondering if the front rack is sold separately? I have a slightly older e-bike that I would like to retro-fit this rack to. Is it do-able?

[@timahern7214]

The sport comes with head light and no front basket and has front shocks great bike

[@adamsuarez3346]

Is it difficult to pedal in pedal assist? Like a constant stop and go feeling?

[@ELEVOPR]

Can someone please tell my why this model is better then the "lectric XP' Model? Do they have a better warranty then the XP model?

[@Me-zw5pw]

another bike seller that doesn't have extra batteries listed for sale on their website. NEXT!

[@TomSpurlock]

Nice report. Twist throttle is less stress on the thumb, too bad it uses thumb throttle. Also, having to turn off pedal assist to use the throttle isn't good. RadPower allows twist throttle WHILE pedal assist is enabled at any level. This allows you to conserve power using eco mode, but allowing you to quickly twist on more power when you approach as short hill. This momentary throttle option keeps your eye on the trail more, not having to look down to increase the pedal assist level for a hill, using the LCD display that's hard to read, and then potentially forgetting to put it back on Eco mode. Nice bike, but RadPower does it better. However RadPower increased their pricing (no longer $1499) due to the tariffs on China, sorry to say. I like the racks, those look nice, but I always like racks ;-).

[@teammxm]

Tom Spurlock I agree with you and maybe we didn’t make it clear when this bike was reviewed. the throttle will override the pedal assist at any level and it also works when there’s no assist in level zero. I think the E-lux is a better value in that there is a dealer network that is willing to work on the bikes we sell something Rad e-bikes has failed to do. Four years ago they were begging to get there bikes into our shop I almost said yes but why would I when we had distributors with similar products right in our backyard within 10 miles of my store I can understand if you live in the Pacific Northwest and would agree that the Rad bikes would be a bike to consider. We used to assemble and service their bikes for customers that purchased them online but as of this year we have stopped this service due to to much drama and to long of lead times from some of these online Distributors we now only work on the brands we sell. Work smarter not harder in most cases we take care of our customers with same-day service. We have since been giving referrals to multiple Ebike stores within our area only to be told to stop sending them customers. Now when someone calls or walks in the door with an EBike that we don’t sell all we can do is them to contact the manufactures and wish them good luck.

[@alexanderhamilton8585]

Those tariffs will encourage some American company to start making E-Bikes. Trump is the worst, but he somehow stumbled on the greatest idea -- that no one ever talks about anymore -- in American economic political history: tariffs. The Democrats ought to adopt tariffs as a platform, then they'd win the Rust Belt once again. Otherwise, get ready for 4 more years of Trump.

[@Fresno1199]

Ol dirt tracker. Cool bike.

[@ElectricBikeReview]

Yeah, I really like this one :D

[@naeemuddin4036]

Wow what a bike...❤❤❤it..

[@Stefan_trekkie]

My 35 years old commuter bike has a stainless steel fenders .. In those days everything was build for live

[@ElectricBikeReview]

Cool! Steel tends to reduce dings and dents but is denser than aluminum alloy and may rust. Both have advantages, I think the Sierra looks great and was impressed with how quiet the fenders were, even on rough terrain! How have your fenders been holding up on your 35 year old bike? Is it garaged or has it been exposed to water and stuff?

[@Stefan_trekkie]

I ride all trough the winter.. With all the salt and chemicals for the snow. The frame already has a little bit rust but nothing major. It is a German Staiger frame. The fenders are stainless steal so they are forever - Weinman. Aluminum alloy stuffs on the bike are gone quickly because of the chemicals . I change old shimano group set for old steal one - Sachs and for two years i have no problems so far. I will be converting soon another one of my bikes to electric. I am amateur racer and i think i don't have the need for e-bike but sometimes i feel tired after hard day on work and stuff and don't want to ride 20 km home in that moment.. So.. the bike will be yearly 80's Swiss made "Tigra" city bike with front/rear racks, stainless steel fenders again . I love that era... I am retro fen steel + chrome is the best. I am looking for bikes on your channel for inspiration. You are showing great bikes.. Keep up the good work my friend and greetings from Europe

[@cresshead]

looks like a lot of fun

[@ElectricBikeReview]

Oh yeah, it's especially fun to ride around with Sam and hear his cool stories... and I liked the train :D

[@ELEVOPR]

If tires pressure is to low, you will lose a lot of mileage on your battery, because bike will be dragging. it's a give or take situation.

[@fs3777]

How do i get this bike? I'm in Houston TX Thanks

[@ElectricBikeReview]

The easiest way to check would probably be to call E-Lux and ask if they have any local dealers... if not, perhaps they will sell direct and have it shipped to you . Here's the official site with a link to buy www.eluxbikes.com/sierra-electric-folding-bike

[@ColeenCreeden]

I bought my E-Lux from Sam at Electric Bike Center via email. And I have had great response from E-Lux too, they sell online as well.

[@ericstuart3167]

My goodness so much fuckin talking. I want to see how the bike rides

[@DinobotTM2]

Guys, i have a Swagtron EB-5, and i would love to hear your opinion on their bikes and creations.

[@bobsullivan5714]

After a year of ownership....GIVE US YOUR OPINION!

[@juegosconestebanjaramillo187]

Anyone try the eahora x5 yet? I'm really interested in the power regeneration technology.

[@MrMr-vo2cx]

were the hell is the battery haha?

[@hardcorehouse]

Why do this on dirt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@rzu7120]

Rad mini now $1699 due to import tax.

[@ELEVOPR]

ohh well no rad mini for me. We the people can't keep taking the hit of Government war trades. Fook Them.

[@lifeyang2]

Sam lost 35 lbs since a year ago. :)

[@Topcat-ks5zv]

dear sir please can you help me when i watch your reviews and see a bike i like and want to buy and go to their web site to buy it , they always say ''sorry we do not ship to the UK'' i want a bike like this one in this review can you find one for me please that someone will send or bring to the UK thank you .........Bob.......

[@web5271]

Well, then move to a country that doesn't require the USA to come save you when other countries threaten you.

[@JavierNavarro-fz9cb]

Ver en español

[@quidestnunc9238]

"pan-ee-erz" not "pan-ears" -- please. And what's with the non-stop hand-waving in the frame? Distracting and counter-productive. Drives people to Listen only. And, while I am complaining, please allow me to object to the gratuitous use of "like" as a conversational filler rather than a Verb--as in "I was looking at "like" [fill in the blank]. Aargh!!

[@choss7836]

Man you have the least commonsense videos I’ve ever seen. “If you turn it to much it may stretch the cables” NO! “If you have dirt lot that you ride through” so if I rid 80 miles on the road but have a 10 foot dirt lot I ride through, this might be the bike for me. Lol

[@ElectricBikeReview]

I'm a little bit confused here because commence means to start or begin but doesn't really fit where you used it in the first sentence. The second sentence, where you quote me, is indeed true... if you raise the stem to the max height and turn hard, it will stretch or disconnect cables. Finally, if you wish to have stability and comfort on dirt lots, snow, or sand, this is a great choice for an ebike because it can handle varied terrain. Would you care to clarify so I can help you out :)

[@ELEVOPR]

@@ElectricBikeReview I think he used google translator? Makes no sense :o/

[@Lordincubus24]

Do they ship the Boston? And how does this compare to the MateX?

[@stevedonovan9265]

Mate X is a neat looking folding bike for the price.

[@ElectricBikeReview]

Hi Jer! My guess is that yes, they will ship to Boston... or maybe they already have a dealer nearby where you could buy a fully assembled one. Try calling or emailing E-Lux to double check and ask about dealers, their official page is at www.eluxbikes.com/sierra-electric-folding-bike
