HiPEAK Elias - A Good Value Folding Ebike!

[@vlikwang]

Nice ebike. It is indeed a cost-effective choice, after comparing a series of electric bikes.

[@lakerdawgz32]

Quality & affordability is here in this E-bike ❤️❤️

[@RussIsRight]

👍

[@wawalker1]

Very good Independence Day sale at Hipeak. For some reason, this name reminds me of antifreeze 😁

Fun looking bike. I like the two colors. The style is similar to my folding bike. I wish mine was a 750W motor. But mine has hydraulic brakes and “mag” wheels. I think the HiPeak would be great for someone just starting out and they could fold it and take it places. Yes, my bike is about 63 pounds too. I sure hope to get out today. We have had thunderstorms and lots of rain the past few days. Have a great day, Russ. (Ah, yes. Thinking about it, you certainly have put together lots of ebikes!)

[@RussIsRight]

We have bad air today. Smoke blowing our way from Canadian fires.

[@Marilynlovesebiking]

@@RussIsRightwe had that about a week ago. Fortunately it only lasted about 3 days. Poor Canada and all its wildfires.

[@Marilynlovesebiking]

I may need to get one of those 55 gallon totes for my folding ebike. I have not tried that yet. My ebike does have folding pedals.

[@RussIsRight]

@@Marilynlovesebiking Easier to slide into the car with the box. Two people makes it much easier too.

[@Marilynlovesebiking]

Darn, I just checked our air quality on the weather app and it is code red for us here too. I may still go out for just a few minutes. I’ll stay close to home.

[@Marilynlovesebiking]

Russ, at 20:57 there is a dead, black screen in the video for a several seconds, till 21:42.

[@Lastwill1189]

I have this bike. You can go into the settings and get the MPH to 25

[@RussIsRight]

Yes, I updated the description a couple of days ago about it.

[@joeroscillo4015]

Nice looking bike with an attractive price, especially considering the two battery pick! I wonder if the controller can be set up at class 3?

[@RussIsRight]

Only Class 2

[@Chas1248]

The HiPeak site indicates the Elias can be a class 3 with speed up to 28mph. Can you verify if the adjustment can be made in the display as is common with other brands? Thanks. I enjoy your posts.

[@RussIsRight]

I will check.

[@RussIsRight]

It won't go to 28 mph, but you can program it to go to 25.5 mph. It is in the P0-8 setting. Set that to "41" and it will go to 25.5 mph.

[@Chas1248]

Thanks for checking.

[@KennyTindal]

I just bought two of these ! Haven’t put them together yet !

[@RussIsRight]

Have fun!

[@detectiveben1]

Are you still using it? How has it been a a couple of months later? Notice any issues?

[@jamesbonham5383]

Nice looking bike.

[@4shac]

Can you please tell me the seat at it's lowest from seat to ground how many inches? I might be to short for this bike but I really like this bike. I own a Electric 2.0.

[@RussIsRight]

I sold the bike so I don’t have it to measure.

[@4shac]

​@@RussIsRight Okay..

[@detectiveben1]

What do you use to carry an extra battery?

[@mddoane]

Looks like a knockoff from an Aventon. That seat especially! My concern with a knockoff is lack of Quality Assurance, imho.

[@goldbearbunny4787]

Not a bad deal I guess. But I recommend people to get a bike with better options like brakes just easier to resale if you don't like the bike

[@detectiveben1]

Do you still use the hipeak bike? How is it after months later? Have you noticed any decrease in battery life?

[@RussIsRight]

The Hipeak was sold to a friend’s neighbor.

[@detectiveben1]

@@RussIsRight oh. Was there anything wrong with it before you had sold it?

[@RussIsRight]

@detectiveben1 No. I just have too many ebikes.

[@UncleJam5624]

I rode my friend E-bike 20mph is fast on a bike. She had a nasty fall and hasn't worked up the courage to get back on the bike.

[@Marilynlovesebiking]

Oh, sorry to hear your friend had a nasty spill. I agree, for me 20mph is a bit fast on my 20” wheel bike. I ride about 12-15mph the most. I hope she gets back on soon. We all take a spill once in awhile. It’s all part of learning the bike and how to ride it.

[@UncleJam5624]

@@Marilynlovesebiking I'm trying to put a positive spin on it but it may take awhile to convince her. I'm waiting for the smoke to clear so I can clean out my garage so I can order one.🙂

[@detectiveben1]

How’s the cadence sensor on the e-bike? Do you have to have one full revolution on the pedal in order for the motor to kick in?

[@RussIsRight]

Can’t recall.

[@detectiveben1]

@@RussIsRight oh what about the current e-bikes you are using now? How’s the cadence sensor on those?

[@RussIsRight]

@detectiveben1 Many do not need a full rotation. If you are asking me what else to consider that is similar to this bike, check out the Magicycle Jaguarundi. You might like that bike as well.

[@detectiveben1]

@@RussIsRight oh because I’m looking at the wildeway e-bike. It has a 32 amp battery. It needs a full rotation for the motor to kick in. Do you know if a full rotation is inconvenient or is that pretty normal??

[@RussIsRight]

@detectiveben1 Many do not prefer that but others like it so that they are not surprised at a quick responding jerking of the bike as it takes off.

[@janettt.n]

How do you turn on the front light?

[@RussIsRight]

I don't have one with me currently, but usually it is from holding down the up button on the PAS controller. Try that.

[@bryanbullis184]

Hi Russ, can you recommend a quality set of folding pedals? Maybe post a link? Thanks

[@RussIsRight]

I bought these for my wife's folding bike: amzn.to/3pspEDo

[@bryanbullis184]

Thank you

[@AK-gr9qk]

Does it fold

[@RussIsRight]

Yes it does.

[@n6six_videos]

The Jaguarundi's red-headed step sister. There, I said it. 😉

[@RussIsRight]

🤣

[@jefferee2002]

I've looked into this bike and there is a way to get it up to 25. Do a little research.

[@RussIsRight]

Yes, I moved it to 25 mph

[@briansventures]

Very Nice ebike

[@blintzkreig1638]

Air Quality is not looking very good.

[@RussIsRight]

Terrible today.

[@danmcqueen5295]

It's the Canadian wildfires.

[@RussIsRight]

@@danmcqueen5295 Yes it is! You can smell it too!
