[@paulketchum6819]

Hey Russ gorgeous bike! A few firsts, night riding (very cool) and the bar end mirror (my preference), maybe a full night ride video in the summer. Love the standard features Suntour seat post, handlebars with adjustable stem, and the extra nice looking front/rear baskets. Since you have your standard wish of 2 batteries, I think we'll see this Euphree often. I approve!

[@bravebluechickadee]

I really like the detachable basket with a carry handle

[@EbikeReviews]

I love the removable rear basket idea. So often I don't need a basket and wish it was easier to remove. Suspension seat post should come with all ebikes. I wish all manufactures would put more effort into making the bike comfortable. If they did, people would ride them more, talk about them more, and they would sell more bikes. The first thing I do with all my ebikes, is put a different saddle and a suspension seat post on them.

[@RussIsRight]

Some companies are afraid to add the suspension seat post because it would raise the retail price of the overall bike. But I hear ya! A nicer, more comfortable ride means you'd likely ride it more and longer.

[@julescorry3958]

@@RussIsRight Hi. I know you like fat tire e bike but do you think the 2.12 inch of this bike has a good enough traction compared to a 4inch?

[@RussIsRight]

@@julescorry3958 For most riding it is fine. If you plan to go off-road, you might prefer a fat tire bike.

[@wrongbro112]

I have been watching this bike for a while. I think it is a very nice bike. I just bought the suntour suspension post and love it.

[@pedrofernandez8729]

checks off all the things I like about e bikes.

[@Marilynlovesebiking]

I think it is a sapphire blue. Euphree calls it Rebel Blue. But since they have Emerald Green, the Sapphire makes sense. Beautiful bike. Congrats on the new bike and second battery. Very nice features. Thinner tires than you are used to. I like the low profile display unit. Interesting how bright the front light is. That is great. I do not ride at night either. No need. Sometimes hubby and I go out in the early evening.

[@1norgman]

Thank you Russ for another excellent video. I like many aspects of the bike. However I would not buy this bike unless it had a minimum of a 750w motor and 20amp battery. I would gladly pay $300-$400 more if it had those required features… feedback for the company…

[@blintzkreig1638]

A beautiful looking bike.

[@Rip1Outdoors]

Nice looking bike at an attractive price. Nice to see a US company too.

[@randymcgill7981]

For me this is probably the nicest bike I have seen you review

[@joeroscillo4015]

Beautiful bike Russ!! Love this blue bike!! A real, Step through!! Sure came with all the goodies!! Fairly good performance for 500 watts!

[@davidinghram2494]

After buyers compare this bike to the rest of the field, this bike is going to do just fine with sales. Nice bike.

[@robirobinson9426]

Glad to see you off of that Class 1 Bike. You made it clear to me that my Torque Sensor obsession was baseless and the Cadence sensor is best for me (and you?). The Class 1 (no throttle) with Torque sensor combination does require constant effort whereas a Cadence sensor requires less constant effort - you can have a break with some ghost pedaling. Think I will stay with my Aventon Aventure.1!! Now that you have been riding more commuter/road style bikes, what are your thoughts on those 4 inch fat tires versus the thinner road bike widths?

[@RussIsRight]

The thinner commuter bike tires are definitely more nimble. I can turn and maneuver a lot better with them compared to the big 26" x 4" fat tires. I can't do a full U Turn on a fat tire bike without fear I might fall. Not so with the thin tires. I can do that easily.

[@goldbearbunny4787]

Cool idea for the basket

[@xbmarx]

Wow this is a nice bike. Has pretty much every feature I'd want. I even prefer the step-thru frame like that. Little details like the metal fenders, cellphone mount, etc are awesome. I've always loved the front suspension + suspension seat post combo.

[@RussIsRight]

It is nice for sure!

[@Nemonurwingy]

Looks pretty nice, decently light at 58 pounds, also. Hoverboards only went away for a bit, they sell them at Target near me, just without the real cheap batteries that caused all the fuss some years back. Other than a brief period in the wake of that they’ve been around, though I think that did hurt their popularity. I do see kids on them sometimes, though.

[@EBikes420]

Hi Russ, I love the looks of this E Bike, It has the same style as mine. The only thing I would change would be the back basket with a moped style trunk like I did with my e bike :)

[@theresa337]

The water bottle is a great idea. I removed mine for the same reason and I had not decided where I wanted it. I also need a bottle for my pooch.

[@southernebiking]

Nice bike. You might mention to them for the cell phone holder. What if they would give just a mount that you could use 3M tape to attach to your own case. Could be included, not expensive, and work with every cell phone out there. Only thing the customer would have to do is supply a case for their own phone. I’m really liking the new technology and gadgets coming on the newer bikes.

[@RussIsRight]

The thing with the case is that nothing sticks out in the back. For me, since I put my phone in my pocket, the smooth back is a big deal. Putting a sticky mount on a case would make that poke my leg or poke towards the pants leg. Of course, this current method does cost more, but it is nice still.

[@southernebiking]

@@RussIsRight I was thinking along the lines of a separate case for on the bike then when I typically use my phone. My personal phone pops on the case very easily so it seems like that would work well. Don’t know about others though they may be a pain to change the case on. still love the gadget lol. take care.

[@totoroboto]

Russ, you had me curious that "Microsoft" really makes 7 speed derailleurs, so I just had to research it. You must have meant to type "Microshift". Thanks for making me chuckle....these ebikes are getting like cars anyway. Computers on wheels!

[@RussIsRight]

Autocorrect turned it into Microsoft!

[@davidfarm8095]

I like this bike. I thing it be easy to step through.

[@tomm2639]

Beautiful blue bike, I like more dutch style city bikes that can haul things vs sporty frame, also when u get that new iphone 15 I have a feeling u will still be using the iphone 6 for bikes when u see the iphone 15 price and fear of breaking it right away sets in 😂 I use my old phone for my bikes, less stress that a fall will also destroy my main phone

[@randymcgill7981]

Wish you reviewed Aventon bikes so you could give me a comparison between the 2 bikes. I know it seems like a minor issue but not a fan of bar-end mirrors. I tried one on the Rad Mini but had to switch to the usual handlebar mirror.

[@xlasvegan7x]

Very cool night ride👍

[@owenoiffer]

Nice bike I’m starting to rethink the 4 inch fat tire in lue of a hybrid type so I. Glad to see you trying some other styles of bike. That the Euphree is getting into some LBS is a bonus as many of use experience such bad responses from the e-commerce sellers weeks on end for support waiting for parts expected to fix your self and then start over again when it doesn’t work if you went to pick up a car at a dealership and it didn’t work you wouldn’t be expected to fix it yourself in your driveway… . What can I say burned again

[@RussIsRight]

What is LBS?

[@owenoiffer]

Ok. Didn’t know that abbreviation. Hahaha!

[@TheCaptain756]

Nice bike and intro. Interested to see results of the range test.

[@Grandpa.Dan8881]

Sweet Ride…

[@davidfarm8095]

I would like to have a Russ is right package with both baskets but i don't need lock. if i am not riding it be in building.

[@pedrofernandez8729]

Russ, on these step thru bikes, do you still mount them by swinging your leg over it, of use the step thru?

[@RussIsRight]

I do both! I'm used to swinging my leg over a bike, so I seem to keep doing it even with a step through model. But, I am adapting and do step through when I remember to do that.

[@tonysmith5507]

Sent a message to Area 13 asking for you to get the updated SR 71 parts . have you thought about doing the updated controller and mounts. Should run cooler on extended mileage trips.

[@danielphillips1030]

You know they just came out with the City Robin X+. Hope you get a shot at reviewing it?

[@danielphillips1030]

Well never mind. I see that you already have a review of the X+.

[@mustang7911]

KBO still has my battery , Ive been dealing with them over this for over a month now .

[@RussIsRight]

That's terrible. What do they have to say why it is taking so long? What's wrong with the battery?

[@mustang7911]

@@RussIsRight I sent it to them and when I ask about it they said its not fixed yet they would send me an email with a tracking number when they get it fixed and send it back, thats it.

[@theresa337]

I want a nice seat and sun tour but I am only 5’4”.

[@richarddkearney]

I like the way the basket works on this bike. The seat does look comfy. Also you have the same model iphone that I have. I had to replace the battery. Do you still have the original battery?

[@RussIsRight]

The battery is dying. It doesn't hold charge as long as it used to. I either change out the battery, or get a new phone... so I decided maybe it's time to get a faster, newer model. iPhones don't come out until around October, so I have to keep charging until then.

[@richarddkearney]

@@RussIsRight A person kind of gets use to the fact you have to charge your phone all the time, but once I changed out the battery (which was very hard for me) life got easy. All day long without needing to charge.... heaven!

[@iakona23]

Russ, do you have any idea of how this Robin X compares to the Aventon Pace 500.3?

[@RussIsRight]

No idea.

[@iakona23]

@@RussIsRight Thank you for the reply. I’m looking at the Robin X along with similar step through style bikes and trying to find something that could be easy enough to pedal without assist if necessary. Secondarily, I’m also looking at relatively light weight and easy to pedal folders such as the Ride1Up Portola.

[@RussIsRight]

For folding bikes, checkout the Magicycle Jaguarundi. It's currently on sale for Black Friday at $1299. It is around 60 lbs

[@tf4343]

Hey Russ. Great video. Does the new saddle have springs or is it elastomer? I can’t tell from their website. I’ve replaced my Rad Rover 5 stock saddle with a Bikeroo seat but as you said, the current ones aren’t all that comfortable. Thanks!

[@RussIsRight]

Elastomers. With the suspension seat post and the softness of this saddle, I don’t think springs on the saddle would be really needed.

[@tf4343]

Thanks Russ. I agree. I have a Suntour suspension seatpost on both of my e-bikes and they are great. I know you had a spring suspension seat where one spring broke and I have had two spring suspension seats that both squeaked and were very annoying. So never again a spring suspension seat! Please keep those great videos coming!

[@davidfarm8095]

what group of ebikes would advise someone that lived in edge of small mountain area.

[@danlascelle1880]

Russ does that seat post bottom out on you? I'm a bigger guy like you and wasn't sure if that seat post would work for me. I have a rad rover 5, like your first bike, along with a bikeroo saddle. I wouldn't mind a little more cushion in my rides.

[@RussIsRight]

So far, it does not bottom out on me. I have heard that there are different springs for the Suntour but I have the standard spring in mine.

[@allanflippin2453]

Their website doesn't say, and I didn't notice you say anything about it. Can I assume this bike uses a cadence sensor? I'm on the lookout for torque sensor equipped city ebikes.

[@RussIsRight]

It is a cadence sensor.

[@erikkpritchard]

I know that the step-through style frames are more likely to experience flexing. Did you experience any frame flex with the Euphree?

[@RussIsRight]

Not that I can tell.

[@dennisbittiker7167]

I have a rad Rover 6, a year old. DEAD BATTERY. Rad is offline, no phone service. Got any ideas ?

Sorry, no. You might want to try their chat function on their website. I ordered some accessories from them recently and could only contact them via online chat.

Your hill test is from bottom of hill,dead stop,I think if you were rolling it would be quite different, Most riders in most areas will not notice.
