Dude your garage I swear, perfect background for these bike reviews

[@CitizenCycle925]

Thank you! i worked hard to get it looking presentable. being able to record in there has helped a lot. i dont have to contend with traffic noise, weather, dogs barking, lawn mowers, etc.

[@LydonLewisDoUbLeZz]

@CitizenCycle925 exactly my dude!!! The bikes one the wall and the lights on the ceiling are freaking awesome! Thanks for making the warp drive, hopefully by the years end I'll be able to add one to my Aventura 2!!!😁👍🏽🤟🏾

[@Trailtested]

We should start calling these pit bike style instead of moped style They’re very similar to the KX 110. Great review

[@ActivityPhoto]

Why is the logo on the battery upside down?

[@schaind11]

I'm waiting to hear about the unreleased EGO, but I like this form.

[@slimdunkin117]

Nice design but underpowered and nothing special

[@jimesser477]

I stopped watching the moment he said it was 750w

[@jwillwork3683]

Your neighborhood is nice

[@kevinnashskitchen3517]

They could have put a plastic faring and number plate around the headlight.. Make it look like a Suzuki DRZ 400

[@AlbertAguilera22]

How would you load this onto a bike rack? The hook on top that usually cranks down onto the frame looks like it wouldn’t go around the seat?

[@CitizenCycle925]

this bike would not fit on a rack that has the hook that clamps down on the top bar.

[@jaybones614]

Looks like the cup holder has a drain and its right over the battery. Hopefully it has a drain tube. Looks sweet and customizable

[@CitizenCycle925]

Yes, there is a drain hole in the cupholder, but the battery has a loop handle on the top so if water drains out of the cup holder it would actually go right thru the battery handle loop and miss it.

[@BlairAir]

Sharp looking bike for the most part. Not a fan of the cup holder - Love the concept, but that glossy fake carbon no so much (warped looking under the overhead lights in your garage) I absolutely lust after your garage/shop setup. I'm not sure that seat would be long-ride comfortable - too narrow methinks. Did it feel that way to you, like trying to be friendly with your butt? The issue is, it's not a bike you can swap it out if you hate it.

[@CitizenCycle925]

The seat is softer than it looks but it is narrow, so on a long ride it would probably start to wear on me.

[@ActivityPhoto]

Very expensive for what you get. Should be more like 1500.

[@Busdathead]

Dude you get any more e bikes in your garage and you won't be able to do any vids in there lol . As always thanks for the full review .

[@CitizenCycle925]

space is a constant issue in the garage, it can be overwhelming at times. :)

[@morrisd.4754]

Why set the wheel diameter to 22? Aren’t they 20.

[@baggerbenn]

Wheels are 20 then the height of the tires..

[@CitizenCycle925]

You want the diameter set to the height of the tire so your speed reads correctly. from the ground to the top of the tire is 23in. The display only gives options for 22 or 24in though.

[@danimayb]

​@@CitizenCycle925 Yep! Probably a mistake some people make. My ebike has 20 x 4, I set the display to 23 for spot on readings according to GPS.

[@pedrofernandez8729]

This is exactly why communities all over the US want to enact new rules and regulations to control the onset of these so-called e bikes that blur the diff between an actual motor assisted bicycle and a full blown motorized vehicle, which require insurance and registration, as mopeds do.

[@darrylphillips6301]

Lol calm down man..... in very few selective communities, there's no way they will even be able to enforce these rules in most cities especially here in Chicago. This bike goes a slow 27mph 😂 y'all are more intimidated by look of these bikes most the time, bc this thing is slow AF honestly.

[@pedrofernandez8729]

@@darrylphillips6301 It's not the speed so much as how they're ridden. There are YT channels that show these guys riding like maniacs, like trying to cheat death. Riding a small vehicle so fast is dangerous, simply because it is not easily seen by drivers, as they would another vehicle or even a much larger motorcycle.

[@darrylphillips6301]

@@pedrofernandez8729 yeah I agree but those are surrons and talarias which are anywhere from $3000-$6000 that are electric dirt bikes without pedals that go way faster than the avg Ebike people are buying. To start restrictions bc of the minority is dumb and leads to more unnecessary regulations. Somebody gets killed in an Ebike or buy an Ebike and non ebikers lose their damn mind. Meanwhile Boeing planes have killed how many people over the past decade yet we will fly everyday on the same planes from the same companies. People get hurt in regular bikes pedaling 20mph and up all of the time and people don't want to regulate regular bikes. It comes down to using common sense. Yes E-bikes should have their own rules and follow street limits if riding with cars but I don't just band ebikes. I'll never stop riding around on mine like many others, and most of us aren't idiots out here riding.Just sayin.

[@AdamsHadEnough]

It's a completely legal 750W bicycle.

[@christianrosado731]

That new bike should have at least a 28 amp controller and it should exceed 30 mph unlocked on throttle alone, very underpowered and overpriced. The Wallke X3 Pro costs less and more powerful.

[@Steve-tj6je]

Drop the torque sensor, lower the cost to $1600.00 and it would probably be a good seller, especially to parents that can't afford to buy their kids the way overpriced Super 73.

[@kevinnashskitchen3517]

You can cut a fender from an old plastic garbage can.

[@DYNABIKE1]

It's way too small for You- - - and Me -_--_ .....>>>>

[@kevinnashskitchen3517]

What's her name won't like it.. Karen?

[@CitizenCycle925]

possibly, it's bark is worse than its bite though..

[@EricLoeser]

First off I love you channel. But so called motorbike you are reviewing should be in a seperate category. They shouldnt even have pedals on them. I am and avid ebike rider up in age and love that I can ride for miles and still get a work out and not worry about how far I have gone or the places I would like to checkout. That said anything you are riding like a regular motorbike should be registered and treated like a motorcycle. That way they do not interfere with people that really what a regular bike with motor assist. Mark my words that someone will get into a fatal crash with one and things will change for ebike owners like me. Still can't figure out that you like these moped style bikes. If you are into it just for pure power and speed then you need to step up to the surrons and move on. Or keep it low key for us real ebike riders. I hope you figure out what class of riders you are catering to. Are you a bike rider or a motorbike rider? Keep up the good work. This is JMO>>love to see more of a cross road type of bking channel..

[@BlairAir]

Your opinion, as you expressed it respectfully is perfectly fine, for you, is what I am saying. Looks like Bryan has been building his channel for 3 or more years, covers the gamut of platforms, Hub/mid/add-on drives. Now developing dual motor conversions, and all of it just from his passion for E-bikes. The current classification system for E-Bikes could use revamping, but as far as CitizenCycle? Not sure he needs to change a thing, based on the success of his KZbin Channel.

[@CitizenCycle925]

I just like showcasing and riding all different types of ebikes. Although this one looks like a mini motorbike it's really just a 750w pedal assist bicycle at it's core. pretty tame compared to some others i've been on. Thank you for keeping up with my channel and perhaps you will enjoy some of my upcoming videos a little more than this one. I have a review coming up on more of a commuter style bike that is 27.5 x 2.8in tire and it has great styling!

[@EricLoeser]

@@BlairAir True. Maybe I was a bit harsh but I like his way of presenting his material. Very well spoken and honest. I guess I would like to have a little more pedal assist riding and he already tried some off road stuff. But lately I have just seen motor and torque. Which is fine for most. I am rambling again about my interest. Thanks for your feedback. Happy Riding.

[@BlairAir]

@EricLoeser Nothing wrong with bringing passion to things we enjoy. I immerse myself in things. Bryan seems a kindred spirit - There's something for everyone fortunately, and some interesting new ideas coming put. I ride a fairly conventional Hardtail 26" Fat Tire w/750w Hubmotor. Heavily built bike; the Okai EB50. Happy with it as a 1st Ebike, but I have upgraded mechanical brakes to hydraulic. Happy riding!
