Shimano cues is a decent system with LinkGlide. I run a Shimano XL LinkGlide on my QueitKat Ibex. Have not chewed up a small gear since the install. Thicker metal with guides for the chain. Shifts a bit slower, but way more durable. Great to see this tech finally reaching the affordable e-bike world. I’m an avid bike rider and as I get older (I’m 53) and all the battle damage from my 30 years in the military start to show, I find myself riding my analog gravel bike (Canyon Grail CF SL) a lot less and have been doing weekly 85-112 mile rides on my QuiekKat Ibex with 1000 watt mid-drive and run around the neighborhood on my Avento Aventure. Your channel is truly very informative and entertaining. Keep up the great work!

Long-time listener, first-time commenter. LOVE your reviews. Fantastic production. Thorough reviews taking the bikes through a standard, qualitative and quantitative paces. Cause I am concerned that the PLA of the PRC wants a war with our US Navy etal, I want an electric bike that meets my niche desires AND has only inexpensive parts manufactured in China or by Chinese manufacturers. Yes, I realize that this is not easy. Lastly, as I am a Midwesterner and polyglot, your videos are excellent sources for folks wanting to learn American English. Your announciation and limited use of slang is ideal. While your videos do have a transcript, you got room for improvement by using closed captioning but only if 100% accurate to your speech.

I love how knowledgeable he is about e-bikes he really knows a lot about everything What a great wonderful show. Always stay safe.

[@daletrotman5375]

Hey I will like to see you test ride hyper bike

[@daletrotman5375]

Which is a pedal assist

[@GixrGuy]

Peace be with you! Merry Christmas! Thank you for a year of entertaining PEV reviews!

[@Andrew-3445]

For that price, I'd gladly take my Wallke H9 AWD with dual 1000W motors and 100 mile range.

[@bkpoirier]

Too bad they are so damn ugly!

[@Andrew-3445]

@@bkpoirier I don't think it looks bad. Looks decent in person. Downside to it is the size and weight.

[@slimdunkin117]

@@Andrew-3445 its a completely different bike..the bike being reviewed is a mountain bike. you have a street commuter

[@twincitiestara]

Looks like the Wallke is not street-legal in Minnesota though, where Class 3 bikes are allowed on sidewalks, bike trails, or (unless you get a motorcycle license) even city streets. Too bad it lacks the feature of dialing it down to Class 1/2 the way the VanPowers bike does, as its long range would make the H9 a PERFECT commuter bike in almost every other way. (CORRECTION: I pulled up the manual, and it says you can limit the max speed to 20 MPH, essentially making it a Class 1/2 bike as long as you keep the limiter turned on. I'm pretty sure that's sufficient for MN laws, but I think I need to check with my local DMV before I seriously consider purchasing one.)

[@twincitiestara]

@@slimdunkin117 The Wallke H9 is very much an off-road bike.

[@HaleyEthengain]

I am a huge fan of this channel I love it.

[@The_Mustang_Den]

Same.

[@E-Eightyfive]

Not bad, decent company for sure. I purchased some vanpowers handlebars couple months ago for our Tesway Walker. Great job, Matt

[@ramborambokitchenkitchen6357]

i just got a keteles k800, very very similar to the philodo h8 you reviewed. just with a slightly larger battery. the dual motors is real fun. it nearly throws you off the bike if you accelerate from a stop and arent prepared for the power.

[@chshrkt]

Thanks for your realistic and informative reviews.

[@jaybones614]

That stem harness is dope

[@johnw65]

Larger diameter brake rotors are needed for 26" wheels. Smaller diameter rotors are fine for 20" wheels...

[@jeromewaites5364]

Wow, all these little unique features on this bike I’ve never seen before

[@checkthisout09]

I've heard of coke white before - first time I'm hearing coke black 😂

[@itruck96]

Ever heard of Acapulco Gold?

[@brianjarvis2823]

This channel makes my day..i also like the gta 5 scenery

[@codwawWolfMan]

Love the back lights.

[@jojodancer1961]

Like the 9 speed , love rack & tailight intergration ❤

[@barnyard9058]

I mean it's not bad but if you're going to use affordable I'd really love to see you check out a couple of the $800 ones

[@franciscosalazar2031]

Would to see you do a review on the javelin from spark cycle works and the vexcite mkr1

[@baddriversofcolga]

I'd love to see CUES become a lot more common on these value e-bikes. Altus works, but it's not exactly the nicest feeling.

[@JerryOduor]

Can you please do a review of the "Laifook Thunder" for us

[@porfiriacalderon4014]

A two by is better just lower the crank derailer and adjust to a two shifter plus you can't see the low gear.

[@rvboondocker2559]

I like the turn signals

[@Larberm]

Another great video review. What is the model # of phone mount that you used in this video? It looks pretty solid. Do you like it? Thanks

[@Trebbor1958]

$1800 bux but its on sale? dude... THAT IS NOT AFFORDABLE.....

[@Baguette12315]

Hey can you check out the Akez 52V Jaguar? Looks quite similar to the ghostcat and im wondering how it performs in comarison. Im pretty sure it has lower current output but I think thats fine considering how much cheaper it is...

[@Kylehannan9]

You should review the ridstar q20

[@jojodancer1961]

Love the total look of the bike but I only have 1 con and that's along with the excellent cable mgt. you won't be able to adjust the height of the handlebars . Myself, with my back problems , I have to modify 99% of every Ebike I own to a higher handlebar position. This bike would most definately make it way too $$$$$ & dificult to accomplish that.

[@chm985]

I don't understand the affordable part. I'd say that's expensive, especially when it's usd. But I'm cheap, I like buying returned broken ones. You can usually get them for less than half and usually costs less than 200 to fix them. Other than that I enjoyed the review.

[@sixfoursoul2538]

Nice looking bike has some really cool features however, My current E bike blows this thing away and I didn't pay anywhere near 1700 bucks.

[@garestpro]

Such a nice looking bike buy the cheeseball thumb throttle is a deal breaker for me.

[@davybloggs1564]

your discount link doesn't work for me😞 - in either place.

[@hippynurd]

There is a substance called coke that is simiar to coal, I would guess thats what the color is named after, not the beverage.

[@karlfonner7589]

That little box on the top tube, could it be the controller?

[@iandavis5189]

Good call, and the little 'speaker cover' a grill to let cool air get to it perhaps? 👌🏻

[@garyderoy]

It looks pretty and I really enjoy all your reviews, BUT, at $1499 I'd have to say the Ariel Rider Kepler is a much better deal. It has the same brakes, nice color display, adjustable handlebar height, 52V 20ah battery, and I've hit 41.8 mph on a flat with mine. It has a cadence sensor, but I like that. I know the Kepler has been around for 2 or 3 years and is somewhat forgotten now, but it still keeps up with most of the newer eBike models. 😉

[@markoleson-g8f]

I need to know what that top door and speaker cover on the top tube are.

[@sativagirl1885]

How far can you go, with a five hour lunch-recharging break?

[@TailHappyTV]

A five hour recharge will probably give you close to full charge, so 70-90 miles total on two charges if you are using the throttle liberally, perhaps more if you pedal lots

[@ShadowPupGaming]

Looking for a bike with a 52v 20ah + battery, torque sensor, 1300w+ peak power

[@ElectricScooterMan]

You should try the LAIFOOK Thunder Gold. You would love it because it’s 45mph and 50ah battery.

[@TailHappyTV]

Ok, I’ll publish a review on it in exactly 1 week 🤙⚡️

[@Mercstar]

That bike looks pretty badass.

[@Владвлад-р6х]

what was under the lid?

[@karlfonner7589]

Most likely the controller

[@DSpaceNine]

I was just about to order an XPeak 2.0 but this gives me pause. Hmm.

[@markj6984]

that is actually a superier motor for the price. wow.with a better controller you could likely get it to 55km an hour

[@billy3650]

Sorry to break it to you, but there are better deals out there and that bike definitely isn't worth it.

[@The_Mustang_Den]

Going to be less quality components. Those Tektro 4-piston brakes and Shimano Cues LinkGlide are some high level components for a bike of this price point. Could make the bike cheaper with less reliable components … been there and done that. I ended up spending more money to upgrade. I ride an average of 300 miles per week and run through cheap components fairly quick.

[@tbublz]

Why wont this bike do more than 20mph? Seems like a waste of a build to me. I like everything else about it. I saw you hit 24 mph during your demo video was that a downhill moment. This sucks because this bike is build very well. But its to slow for me.

[@alonzomartii]

Seems to handle much better hills than the Romeo Pro.

[@eagle94haslanded]

Deep sand?

[@karlfonner7589]

A well-made bike

[@arthurquinn7515]

Dont like the small display screen

[@eagle94haslanded]

most single motor bikes dont make it up the parking ramp hill.

[@GamingAdventureWithAtif]

MASHALLAH❤❤❤FIRST

[@gorkemsar5936]

only for usa uk even china but not eu . thats sad...

[@mikeolmsted328]

If I see another fat tire overweight bike, I will give up..

[@animejanai4657]

They are certainly terrible for battery longevity in hilly cities. All that extra weight has to be lifted up each hill. The heavier the ebike, the less effective the pedaling to get the ebike moving up a hill. I do wish TailhappyTV would review the ebikes with 2.5 inch tires instead of all these heavy frame 4-inch tire models. But if that is what the companies mail to him for testing, then that is what he reviews unless he buys the ebikes himself which is what some channels do.

[@tonyn3227]

To me affordable high quality e bike around $800. Anything else overpriced

[@RoadToTheCup]

One con no turn signals.

[@heeeeeresrossy]

Did he mention he weighed 200 pounds 🤔😜

[@MariaGoya-hg7hz]

what are u on?

[@joehiatt1992]

people are wanting bigger motors & batteries,15ah is not good,I bought a freesky alaska & just bought( last night) a wallke h7 which u tested,1650 & 1500 respectively

[@kstewart9922]

😂 So it looks like you're paying an extra grand for name brand brakes and fancy brake lights... nope. Low power, small battery and sad display. With that said, I do appreciate your reviews, they helped me decide on a much better bike, for considerably less $.

[@LMBee00]

Stop doing stupid burnouts on the Santa Monica bikeway!

[@WhyYouWhyB]

Happy Xmas to you both 😂

Calm down child.

[@PAX-GT2]

48V 14.7Ah😂

[@TailHappyTV]

Pros and cons to battery size, smaller battery gives a more nimble ride, if long range and high speed is the goal larger is better, but if you want nimble a smaller battery is better

[@PAX-GT2]

@@TailHappyTV Good answer👍

[@karoslif9818]

Gonna have to give a hard pass on this one, maybe 15 years ago it might excite, maybe, but as Kamala said before she lost, "We're not going back....We're not going back" lol

[@earlscrib2356]

Frame looks weak

[@TailHappyTV]

It felt solid to me

[@earlscrib2356]

@TailHappyTV maybe looked kinda thin on center for that weight limit 400 pounds being a trail bike am not to seeing the middle part of frame holding up with leaps and rough riding

[@earlscrib2356]

@TailHappyTV with an extra 100 - 200 pounds beating it in the brushy rocky trails I would say the weight limit for that frame would only be 165 p pounds- 300 pounds

[@gonetoheck]

top speed 20 mph....🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 nope. Ain't gonna get bit by some dog off leash that's faster than this expensive gadget.
