Thx 4 the responsible #EPed review. 34mph on a "bike' that big and heavy needs to be licensed as a moped. 15 year old me would have loved to work off that parent loan to go to my 1st summer job. That top battery should be where the storage bin is to lower the CG and have a "tank" as waterproof storage for a helmet and charger.

under U.S. federal law, if it has pedals, its a bicycle. i never registered or plated my mopeds. same with gas bikes. 🍻

@@niteshades_promise I believe in most jurisdictions a moped can only go up to 30 mph. So this bike would have to be plated and registered which you would not be able to do anywhere because it comes nowhere close to DOT standards. Adding nearly non functional pedals is not some magic loophole.

Rad review, rad bike! Also one other advantage of receiving the bikes in low power mode is that it ensures the buyer, in common internet parlance, RTFM (Reads The [Factory] Manual). Nothing gets hot heeled new buyers into scanning the entirety of the manual than needing to so they can unlock the power of the bike.

That much battery capacity usually retails for about $1200. If they are charging $1700 for the bike.... then yes, the rest of the components will not be of the best quality. Not for me... but not a bad deal either.

Most of these things don't have an European certificate of conformity (Coc), so as an European citenzen like me, can't get a licence plate for it to use it as a moped.

@@niteshades_promise In most states it would be considered an unregistered motor vehicle (that's not capable of being registered). In states with ebike specific rules and laws it is not a legal ebike, even if you limit to the "class 2/3 mode". A legal class 2 bike is 750 watt max 20mph throttle / pedal assist. A class 3 is 750 watt max pedal assist to 28 mph and no throttle allowed.

I like the color scheme. The chain is loose. I would mod it with Pegals. I like how the brake light/directionals protrude out of the saddle. Does it have a torque sensor, or a cadence sensor? If you are going to mod, it with Pegals you are going to have to replace the entire crankset. I like this electric moped. I just like mine better.

Any bike that does NOT REQUIRE pedaling should NOT be considered a Bicycle. They are mopeds/mini motorcycles. The term Bike includes ALL TYPES from Bicycles to motorcycle and these e-Bike makers are trying to blur the lines. Government is making classifications and regulations for them though

Doesn't it feel odd in the turns with all that weight up high? Looks like there is no weight below the seat level. Motorcycles have the motor where the empty space is and could be used for the battery.

I had this thought, too. Why not use that storage area in the frame for the battery? That would keep the center of gravity lower. Then use the fake tank for storage.

It’s fun as heck.. BUT… designed very poorly so you WILL have to deal with their terrible customer service for replacement parts AND have to figure out how to re-assemble it correctly since they WILL NOT provide you with re-assembly instructions for the rear of the bike. I’m on your video looking at the close-ups you provided so I can re-asssemble correctly after having to get an ENTIRE motor/wheel sent to me since the main power wire got rubbed through due to poor design. It took them over 2 months to send me the new motor (wasn’t in stock per their customer service). All that to say… it’s very fun, but be ready for a HUGE headache if anything goes wrong - and IT WILL GO WRONG due to poor design.
