Looks like my little Jetson Bolt ... which I used to commute to and from work through the nasty Canadian winter. Because it's so small I could be in full control and could ride in the worst road conditions. ie snow/ice knowing I could just put my feet down to stop any slip. Kind of like a BMX. Also it's so small that my employer doesn't mind me parking it inside at work, which I could never do with a regular sized bike. Yeah, it doesn't go too far or too fast ... but it beats walking any day! :)

Just purchased a $857 e-bike made in China named the IconBit K220. I am charging it now. It says it can handle 120 kg of weight. Fearfully that is my exact weight. At any rate it appears to have size with fat tires and also folds. My plan was to commute back and forth from the two cities up and down the main highway. One is 1.5 miles one way and the other approximately 15 minutes by car. I am a newbie so my experiences will be learning ones. I caught on to your video to see how reliable a Chinese e-bike is. It has Shimano brakes?

Where do you drive it? Is it street legal in your country? :)

@@PixelSheep Finland. Max allowed speed is 25kmh, so yes its street legal 😁

[@LieuNoir]

@@lxh22 Sorry for being picky but this legal aspect is actually very important (you could be in very deep shit in case of an accident!) and completely ignored in this video. it's not because it drives below the limit (25 km/h) that it's street legal! ;-) In most countries, (motor) vehicles have to be certified for the street and I assume it's also the case for Finland.- Since there is no official importer for this bike, no one has done the certification (my guess).

I giggled at the 6:30 mark of this video when I saw the cockeyed look of the rear fender angled off to the one side. Haha! I recently bought a Jetson Bolt Pro from Costco ($299+tax) and have to check and tighten up the fenders often. Incidentally... For $299 and I think it is a phenomenal bargain! Plus at 210lbs it pulls me along at 15 mph quite easily and is actually pretty fun to ride! Handle bar folds down to. Best electric folding mini bike (entry level) deal going on today in my opinion.

[@Dragnmastralex]

good for kids that need something to get to school with. when they get to school they can park it in the gym or just outside the cafeteria and plug it up so it can charge while they are at school for full power to go home on. can secure it by putting a bike lock through the rear tire and around the frame of the bike so that it has to be carried to be stolen, which in such a public place would be obvious.

The built-in charger is indeed a great idea but I'm very reluctant to use any electrical gear which does not have a correctly-fused plug.....

I feel loved le buying the Brompton electric bike. U can carry it like Light luggage. Then out if no where you can open your luggage and it turns to a 🚲 bike. It has a charger and it's reliable they say.

[@quantumworkscorporation833]

For "car dingy" usage, Do the seat and handlebar quick releases work fine to fold up quick?

[@krazydad1]

I've owned one. The handle bar quick release is easy to put into the riding position but VERY hard to fold down.

It took him half an hour to put the seat on, so Ima say no to that.

Going to be a rough ride with those small wheels.

[@AndrejGobec]

Most scooters have less than 10 inches ... at the speeds it is meant for it'll be good enough :)

[@EscooterLife]

12 is standard for these

[@bradleycasady9810]

It's not the wheel size that makes it a rough ride. The tire size and air pressure makes it hard or soft ride.

[@1bc003]

@@bradleycasady9810 Wheel size plays a big part in ride comfort. The smaller the wheel diameter is the more it drops into a crack or hole in the riding surface. Therefore causing more shock to travel through the frame of the bike. You can mitigate some of this with less tire pressure, but then you reduce handling and add resistance to your rolling speed.

Xiaomi products are fine. For the price they have quite good design and quality, and are backed by a huge company (though they don't really produce all their product, things like this are most likely made by some oem or something) I wonder it you can get any support for their products in America? You certainly can in China.
