GT Power Performer Review: The ebike of your childhood, all grown up

[@EbikeEscape]

What do you think of the GT Power Performer?

[@GTBicycles1]

Thanks for checking out the bike! Glad you had fun. 🤙

[@EbikeEscape]

Thanks for making it possible!

[@moseschappell8315]

This bike looks AMAZING!! Not a lot of content on it out there. So thanks for making the video!! Well done!

[@EbikeEscape]

Thanks for watching!

[@stkyfngez]

Great review. This bike looks cool, I’ve reviewed some other E-BMX bikes like the Zooz, Sole, Chimera etc. I need to add this one to the list.

[@EbikeEscape]

It's a fun one!

[@tamiyaddiction_YT]

Damn, I might have to get one of these to add to my GT Heritage 26 and 29 cruiser lineup - Maybe even Strip it down, powder it black and add 1987 decals!

[@EbikeEscape]

That would be cool!

[@romeoborromeo5210]

The Ariel rider rideal bikes really stand the best among all the budget friendly bikes. With the 500W motor and all the accessories included, the PRICE, is clearly the best entry level, budget friendly bike there is to date. Please do more videos on that. Thanks.

[@EbikeEscape]

The Rideal review is coming VERY soon. This video had actually been done for some time but they only released it today.

[@prakashgopal7]

rideal is has a 750 motor

[@hogstatus650]

I picked up my Power Performer yesterday and I’m in love! Does your horn button work? My horn button does nothing.

[@EbikeEscape]

It seems the horn is a feature they decided to leave off this bike. It is a bit odd as I really like the integrated horns.

[@mendozar03]

saw a couple at a local bike shop today. Super cool bike.,

[@EbikeEscape]

I agree - thanks for watching!

[@stephenbelsom2687]

how has the bike stood the test of time since you did this video?i was thinking of getting one,thanks

[@user-ne8ln6eb4x]

I love my bike I've had it for a month I lost my battery do you know where to get a battery replacement it seems to be very hard to find

[@66meikou]

I'm a bigger bloke than you are. I had all sort of bmx bikes as a teen. I also used to deliver newspapers (so I could afford to buy my bikes) the old school cruiser was my delivery bike so I'm very much used to that geometry. Would you say this bike leans more towards that rather than a mountain bike? I've ridden many mountain bikes but I never like to bent over feel if riding on the road.

[@EbikeEscape]

More towards the BMX style geometry than a mountain bike. In fact, this bike has been one of the more comfortable ones to ride with my thumb/arm injury since less pressure is on my hands.

[@66meikou]

@@EbikeEscape Cool. I'm giving it serious consideration especially if I can get the p40 warhawk frame.

[@andrewbarrett6403]

Apparently this bike comes in a 250w version and 350w. Do you know how to differentiate the two?

[@jmmgp358]

Thanks for the video! I purchased one of these and curious if you’re bike goes into some sort of power save mode around 37% battery? My bike goes to around 1/2 power after 37% battery.

[@EbikeEscape]

Glad you liked it! There wouldn't be any specific power save mode but generally with ebikes as the battery gets low you'll get a little less out of each PAS level though obviously you can always increase the level or use the throttle. Half power sounds like a lot though.

[@baytinsopo]

How long will the chain and 9speed cassette last with you only riding in the 'highest gear' before you have to replace them?

[@EbikeEscape]

I think it will depend on maintenance but should last quite a long time.

[@teeribbzz11]

Need one bad!

[@EbikeEscape]

It's one sweet ride!

[@eddiegeorge1878]

How much

[@MrTurkeybags]

They will sell, but to mostly gt performer and vintage bmx collectors. In the ebike world its under powered and not enough range. This one for pops

[@EbikeEscape]

I think you're probably right.

[@TheAnonyy]

Is it back-lit display on the bafang

[@EbikeEscape]

Yes it is!

[@brianmck7363]

Don’t like the smooth tires!! I do really like the handlebars..

[@TheAnonyy]

Yh no grip on the tires especially in wet conditions is a must will be limited in where you can use it

[@EbikeEscape]

I think the slicks look cool. Great grip when it is dry but when it rains you probably need to be more careful. Thanks for your comment.

[@richardpaz8035]

How long does the battery last?

[@EbikeEscape]

It's high dependent on usage but I'd say between 20-35 or so miles.

[@2dthoughts]

A bit underwhelming More twice the price it should be

[@sskaustralia]

Not a single jump? Not even off a driveway curb? For the love of...

[@EbikeEscape]

I can assure you such atrocities will not happen in the future. -JT
