Fucare Taurus Electric Bike Review

THIS BIKE: fucarebike.com...
Disclosure: This product was gifted to me by the company in exchange for testing/reviewing it. I strive to keep these reviews fully transparent and honest. Flaws and short comings that I notice WILL be pointed out. What happens to the bikes afterward? I usually keep them for a bit and then sell them around half of retail which helps cover the time/cost of producing videos. I would love to do giveaways on here with them, but due to the legality and liability involved, I avoid this. I hope you understand.
THANKS SO MUCH FOR WATCHING!

Great video Chris. Thank you for sharing your adventures. Im in a wheelchair and cannot ride a bike, watching you on the trail on the ebikes makes me feel like im driving with you. Thank you, Jen, and Gus for sharing your lives with us. Peace, Love, and Happiness to all.

[@brianmef71]

If you press the plus sign for a couple seconds, it turns on cruise control to where you can use it. It will display an icon to let you know it's on. When you go along at a certain speed for about 8 seconds and release the throttle, it will hold that speed.

[@SmithFarmTilton]

Cool bike. Extra props to Fucare for being a little different with the trellis style frame. Reminds me of my old Ducati. Great sized battery too.

[@richardthomas1743]

Good morning Chris , Jen , Gus and Turbo

[@NNKH2]

Good morning!

[@slowshedgarage7409]

Wow 40mph. Thanks Chris. Always enjoy the bike reviews.

[@rubuk2996]

Love the frame color!

[@adanfranchi578]

Chris, you are an excellent product review narrator! I always enjoy watching and learning from your two channels. I am looking forward to view your next video on your new shop. Hopefully, you will post one soon. Take care brother!

[@NNKH2]

Thanks! I appreciate the feedback and yes there will be another shop video but probably not too soon

[@ewallacestudent1]

Built lots of bikes myself, do not forget to dry lube chain and grease the seat post. You will thank me later. Love all your and Jennifer's vids. Keep on bicycling!

[@charlesallen4702]

Love watching your reviews from California. The views you give us are amazing. Thank you for sharing.

[@ovlov245]

Great commentary on local sights and happenings Man!

[@thomas7674]

This thing looks rad. I hope it delivers.

[@jpancrazio]

Thankls for the revisit lol I use to live in Easton in Forks Township and was nice to see area again

[@justin_time]

I think the reviews of all of the local paths and different streets in the Philipedphia area are just as compelling, if not even more interesting than the e-bike reviews themselves. It's like a super scaled down version of the cross country car road trips. Adventures found locally. I kind of like the unplanned direction this channel is taking and morphing towards, and I think I'm excited to hang around and see where this goes in the future. Thanks for posting!

[@bobclay2808]

I’ve got to get me an electric bike. They look so fun. Thanks for reviewing them for us.

[@harleyshihtzu5558]

Great review Chris. Little Gus man is absolutely adorable. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@Exstaz]

I know all about electrical bikes and I don’t even want one. But the videos are so great. I love the nice adventure that comes with the review.

[@garyseaton4619]

That's a pretty stout looking frame. With fenders and lights, that's a nice package. I like the payload number. Hope that good-looking seat is comfy...

[@bradley7723]

That bike looks like a keeper, very rugged frame. The frame is just screaming to have a 2 stroker dropped in. Thank you for your review. :]

[@RobisonRacing68]

Your bike reviews are the best travelogues. :)

[@itsmephil2255]

Awesome video Chris, can't go wrong with 'Fast Paced Friday' 👌🏻

[@johnwakefield9378]

Another great job Chris. You are amazing man.

[@clarencewiles963]

The readout is looking good as it is working in daylight with your camera 😎

[@--RO--]

Nice review. Thumbs up for paying homage to the hometown heroes.

[@mikechmarnakis2103]

I am in Croatia just het back from beach and my favorite you tuber get new video love it great review chris

[@dansmith6764]

I enjoy these reviews and its great that they help bring in some income for you so you're able to keep building your main channel. Looking forward to your next garage update! I watched the tour/tear down video again last night, I think people like tour videos to get ideas for their own garage. I noticed everytime that I am in someone else's garage I always snoop through their tool boxes and parts drawers looking for ideas on tools and parts I don't have and how to organize it all. Oh and I got my hat, looks great!

[@DIMS_WERX]

The most detailed dude in this app. How i feel at home everytime him and Jen post anything 😊

[@LVfishdude]

Hey lots of cool stuff in slatington area. Thats my stomping ground!

[@paulcoinc]

My bike has a similar type frame. It's definitely not meant for anyone too short. I fit mine at 5'5 but much shorter wouldn't be safe. I use the space over the lock to carry one of my locks.

[@thenarrowpathoftruth9443]

First rate video, bro. I have the Fucare Gemini X with front and rear basket plus rear panniers. I live in the Texas Hill Country. Haven’t had much time to ride but I am at 82.5 miles on the original charge and still not out of battery yet. I did work at it to up my range though. The Gemini X has 2 batteries 🔋 on board (dual batteries) that it draws on equally but is more a commuter / cargo configuration (love it!), not a mountain bike. (You sure live in a beautiful town)!!!! (And I love Gus the dog)!

[@colmart1973]

Top vid Chris, loved the bike and trail👍🇮🇪

[@NNKH2]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thx

[@petenikolakakis9273]

Great review Chris. You are top notch and all class. I enjoy the scenery and history lessons. Makes me wish I lived somewhere else other than the boring Northwest suburbs of Chicago. By the way, has anyone ever told you that you sound like Ray Romano?

[@bertbecker7532]

You have an admirable knowledge of history!

[@brucemadden1626]

Really enjoy your "trip" videos' if you ever stop making the mechanic videos, you would be great at these "trip" escapades. stay safe😀

[@loribrown5235]

Nice video Chris!!!

[@calvinlevie943]

Thank you, great ride terrific bike nice look great rural settings

[@NNKH2]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@dangates3022]

i see you go by ralph Stover state park on the right off 413 and right before 413 and 611 meet (i been there hundreds of times over the years.) its on the right heading up to where you started there in north hampton. some really cool high rocks there. if you never been you should check it out. only cliffs i know of in our area that high. i used to go there to climb and rappel they are around 135 feet high above the tohickon river

[@NNKH2]

Yeah that's a great spot for sure! Used to go there and do a little bit of climbing and also repel some cliffs.

[@johankarlsson2210]

Nice video! It would be interesting to se you try a bike in the winter in snow, with studded tires 😎

[@justin_time]

When e-bikes first started selling en masse, they typically came with regenerative braking. Manufacturers stopped including it because the mass of the bikes and riders weren't enough to add enough range to make much of a difference, so they all just collectively decided to stop. I'm curious with the rising popularity of fat tire and heavier bikes now, that came after the initial boom of e-bikes, if the range extension from regenerative braking would make more of a difference? Curious if much range is added on your electric skateboard or if that feature is there more so for a convenient braking system on a technology that doesn't otherwise typically have it? Hard to mount disc brakes on such small wheels imo?

[@dcallan812]

The listed 140Mil, range is when Gus is riding. 🤣🤣 2x👍

[@hmr9147]

Hey Chris have you ever thought about reviewing some of the sub $1k E bikes from Amazon? I’d love to see what you thought of the cheaper bikes.

[@johnfreed4651]

Just stumbled upon your channel and wondered how the bike is holding up for you? Great video and review!

[@InspiredJJ]

Hello from Center valley, Pa!

[@daryltom3183]

Great reviews! It's a Cool looking EBike. Any traveling soon across the states? love those.

[@NNKH2]

Thanks and I agree! Great looking bike for sure. No set plans on traveling videos soon. But we usually do that kind of thing on a whim so who knows

[@geraldcross4046]

Hello from Michigan love the videos

[@BillyBob-uc9zp]

Well done Mr 😎

[@tomperry1048]

I like the bike & love the Gus.

[@averagedudethirteen3257]

Love the videos! With these eBike videos you post, you have turn my interest into high gear about getting one. Curious question for you though. What kind of drone do you use? Keep up the great work. 👍🏻

[@NNKH2]

Thanks for checking out the videos and I use a DJI mini 3 Pro most of the time

[@garyh7949]

Forgive me for asking, but where the Fucare?

[@PiazzaWoodWorks]

Dude this was epic! how many more bikes u gunna get given to video? Do u keep em?

[@CHunt-cz1ek]

80 lbs.!! What a road anchor. Good point about the regen. That almost looks like a mid-drive with that large enclosure at the crank. Ever try recharging at a car charger (220)? Wonder what the cable adapter reqs would be like.

[@ROGE444]

Just a thought, Chris. I see scratches on the battery from the blacktop, maybe lay down cardboard or a blanket when doing this.

[@NNKH2]

I'm pretty rough on stuff. Yeah you're right I should be more careful. But scratches don't affect the battery. I like to break things in I guess

[@ROGE444]

@NoNonsenseKnowHow2 that's cool, Chris. I'm somewhat OCD about stuff like that. Those scratches would keep me up at night.

[@somerandomguy3868]

I'm not aware of another KZbinr that does more e bike reviews than you, you're probably more of an expert than you might like to admit

[@NNKH2]

I definitely wouldn't consider myself an expert on e-bikes or bikes in general. But I do love doing review videos on them and turning it into a nice adventure day. They are a blast

[@Wayneoslife]

Gus is a cool dog

[@matthewanderson7766]

You should do that one day drive that trail all the way just get a couple extra batteries and do the trip that would be a awesome vid

[@NNKH2]

That would be cool!

[@polishnightmare4900]

When are you coming out with your top 5 bikes that you tested so far?

[@gmgrammer9851]

awesome route!! good review

[@King_Springmeyer]

Question what do you with the bikes when you are done with the review. Do you send them back or keep them. If you keep them you must have a big collection

[@armandopatane5343]

When are you getting back to car content = every time with the bikes

[@NNKH2]

I upload every 2 weeks

[@midnightrunner684]

C'mon Man....Go you know the thing 😊

[@kltpep]

You must have close to 30 bikes at your house now.

[@LVfishdude]

Question for you… how much of a workout do you get riding that? Also can you do a review on an ebike conversion kit?

[@nickdipascal6682]

Hey Chris..I'm curious..what do you do with all these bikes after you review them. You are better than Consumer Reports !!!

[@BrorAppelsin]

Looks heavy duty. I wish we had these over here in EU as my fat ass is too heavy for most of the selection we have. Having a bum knee it hurts to pedal a regular bike but it would help to do it...

[@luisroman1664]

Chris which e-bike was the best I want to get one

[@jarvisworton9140]

Chris, I’m looking at this bike to purchase, largely because of your review on it. Regarding the delay on motor kick in due to cadence sensor: were you able to adjust that and how quickly can you get it to respond? 1/2 a crank turn? 1? 1/4? Is this a decent bike for mountain and more incline camping/trail type riding? I don’t want to go barreling up the hill but is this bike a decent option or would a torque sensor bike be better? Can you unlock the throttle to go full speed no matter the PAS level? TIA

[@darrinmc65]

I’m surprised you didn’t climb that radio tower…..😊 Have you ever reviewed an electric bike that also has rear suspension?

[@JHOFF111]

I've had my Taurus about a month and a half out of the box the headset was messed up I could not get it to tighten up so The ball bearings broke ordered more online and I just cannot get that headset to tighten the way it sits in there it's so frustrating, and my front brake caliper just will not line up correctly without it rubbing like a bitch, I love this bike in so many ways but it's so frustrating

[@djtfilms283]

i havwe a question chris are you buying theses bikes

[@davidjulseth8667]

is that a jumbo shark battery?

[@scottraven1721]

Nice one ru you sure your in mph, and not kph ?

[@NNKH2]

Thx and yea mph

[@mangalehal7207]

How do u unlock the speed?

[@clintstallone]

Do you have bears in that area Chris?

[@NNKH2]

Yes there are black bear up there

[@noidle22]

The oddly bulky bottom bracket looks like it's designed for a mid drive, maybe that will be in a future model? I checked all of their current models but none have mid drives, seems an odd design choice otherwise.

[@PawE3K]

controler setings

[@JohnBrown-me6bg]

What do you do with all of these bikes?

[@gandelf001]

What speed/gps app do you use ?

[@NNKH2]

Ulysses speedometer

[@gandelf001]

@NoNonsenseKnowHow2 thank you, great video's

[@tjmaclean]

Seems like a great bike. I'm 6'5" and 300 lbs. Looks like it could handle my ass pretty well! LOL

[@howarddickson2162]

Hey Chris just a thought 💭 why don’t you do a bike 🚴 giveaway on one of them FREE bikes that everyone gives you Just a thought 💭 no big deal either way Or just keep them and sell it and go on another vacation lol 😂

[@NNKH2]

Honestly there's way too much liability involved with that. Wish we didn't live in a country where you can sue for basically anything.

[@Rangersplash94]

How much is that bike worth?

[@horsepastedelish]

8 speed cassette is not usually standard on these budget chinese ebikes, most usually come with cheap 7 speed freewheels. Freewheels are more fragile and limited in upgrades which is why no bike company uses than anymore other than walmart bikes. Also you didn't run out of pedal because cassettes can go lower on the small cog than freewheels.

[@NNKH2]

I see eight speeds on a lot of them. But yes I would agree 7-speed is more common

[@soneeeee4440]

many have 9 speed. ideal is make sure rear has a 11 T sproket and 52T in the front for no ghost ped

[@robertwilliamgriffiths2591]

I'm 6.7 👍

[@Wayneoslife]

Who's turbo

[@NNKH2]

Our cat

[@Wayneoslife]

O yeah lol

[@Wayneoslife]

I live in the south Florida is kind of flat what do you suggest the best ebike is for a 240 lb guy

[@dmza85]

Nice bike

[@bradwilliams5242]

Apple a day keeps the ticks away

[@claudiosanhue]

Gus is the best......

[@painterjimmy1009]

Awsome bike

[@mantvydas8810]

I've been taught that your leg needs to be straight when the pedal is down, supposed to keep your knees from getting tired and such. Thought I'd say something since that's what I always notice during your videos, your legs are always a bit bent.

[@NNKH2]

I prefer to ride that way. Feels more comfortable for me.

[@dieterlange7581]

You are great at reviewing but enough already. E bikes have done already. Much rather see tool reviews or good parts 🤔👍🤣🇺🇸💯🍺. Or anything with Jen or the Gus man. Just a comment love your channel 👍🍺

[@GB-lg6ge]

Only if you could put some wrenching videos on your main channel as much as you put up E-bike reviews ....

[@NNKH2]

New video tomorrow. I try to do a new video every 2 weeks as mentioned in previous videos

[@GB-lg6ge]

Awesome!

[@BadradioWOT]

👍

[@ChristopherHuber-x5m]

Fenders gotta go

[@NNKH2]

No way. It would look cooler maybe but having fenders is a game changer

[@ChristopherHuber-x5m]

Maybe trim them a little bit Chris, their borderline front basket material man

[@NNKH2]

@@ChristopherHuber-x5m front baskets are great

[@jasonswift7098]

Good review but I would not get an electric bike that is so heavy! it defeats the purpose of having the electric assist.

[@soneeeee4440]

if my payload is 230 lbs and my heavy duty dual susp mtb is about 43 lbs, that's 273 total to move with pedals only. this bike adds another 37 lbs or 12%, but has 1200 WH of energy and 85 nm of torque, so the extra 12% weight is a rounding error, unless you plan on pedaling it without using the motor at all. otherwise, it definitely does not defeat the purpose, AND if you want to go for a lighter ebike, you might save 20lbs ("lighter" ones often 50 lbs and up), so about 7% of payload and you might lose range and torque.

[@dtvt8421]

We want to see you ride the bike from a third angle... not only from your chest....

[@NNKH2]

It's in there

[@BRZZ-xw4hd]

what do you do if sasquatch jumps out and grabs you while on the trail!...peace out

[@michaelhaenen3188]

Are you a bike guy now ???
