Hi there great post. Can I ask who the vendor was you dealt with on alibaba.? Keep up the good work 👍

[@thirsty858]

apparently when i click the link,it tells me that it can’t be shipped to my region. Do you think there is a fix for that?

[@Usva78]

I would just send message to the vendor from app or page and ask. Tell them where you live and what bike you would like. Also ask if they ship there, what will the price be and how much time will it take. Sunny Ge in that company seems to answer quickly and can make the order ready for you with the right bike and all. For me it went like that. I asked, she answered and offered to put the order together. There were many options on same bike at that vendors page, so that was best way plus got the info on price and delivery verified by asking 😊👍

Very nice mate glad you like it buy an aluminium mudguard from a motorbike that will cover the wheels better all so I found some better knobblies than the stock ones that come with the wheels

[@Adibeganovic-iz4xf]

Good vid man thinking about getting one is it like the same size as a Surron

[@Usva78]

Thanks 😊👍 I have not compared it to Sur-ron, but I think it is about same size. Need to remember that power on this one is fraction of surron as it is just e-bike (500W (1300+W peak) motor and not 2kW as adverticed) Now that I have been riding and testing 500km I have noticed that max speed for guy my size is about 46-47km/h (30mph) with full battery and I would guess someone half my size could get more out of it. I am 190cm tall and bike is still good size but pedalling is not too easy for somelne this tall. Fun bike and quality seems great for the price. Going to make 1000km rdview this summer, but for now it has been great to ride on roads at least 😊 I try to put link to size pic of this bike. images.app.goo.gl/MnUMw3Za4Yh33QiD9

[@mankihonda983]

I wonder when our lovely government decides to really crack down on these ebikes. Probably waiting for that Shimano and Bosch lobby to contact them.

[@Usva78]

They should rather rise the limits to 30+ but kids and drunk people with these rentable scooters dont help 😅 I think those cause so much accidents that they keep restricting bikes too quite hard...

[@ReviewsandTech]

Wait, how is that a 500w motor? It looks like a Surron and especially with a 35ah battery! Nice review mate, thank you.

[@Usva78]

Thanks 😊👍 Yes it looks more powerfull than it is 😅 Still moves my heavy ass quite well, but it isno Sur-ron 👍 Specs say 2kW but at least some russian owners of the same bike say it is 500W and I have seen pics of that being written inside the motor 😅 Lets see what is in there when I open my bikes motor to add some lithium grease on the gears...

[@ReviewsandTech]

@@Usva78 My current bike has a 15ah battery, but they sent me a second 15ah, so looking forward to connect both or figure something out like that. Have you done a battery capacity test? I am sure that you wonder yourself! Thanks

[@jackhard14]

Hey! nice video. I have the same controller. How do you fast switch between 25kmh limit to No Limit? I use mine on and off road, i i have to change the settings all the time. EDIT: Nevermind, i have found your other video talking about it. Thanks!

[@Usva78]

@@jackhard14 i also use power levels on 1-3 pedal assist levels. 1 is set so that it goes about 26km/h and 2 goes around 35...3 goes max power 48km/h or so. I did this as with right tire size for accurate speed on speedometer and km in odometer (22") will show the actual real limited speed that is 22 or 21km/h. I do use the limiter mostly, but on long rides in countryside I might switch off to get the better min-max speed

yours took 7 days, that's crazy. mine is estinated to be delievered in 4 days. After 2 months.

@Kxng_DuoYt I suggest you send message to Sunny Ge on this vendor in Alibaba and ask for price and delivery to your location. Price at least used to be around 1400$ with delivery included. There seems to be even the MAX version in their list of products with less than 2k if that interests you. x.alibaba.com/xKPzCGD?ck=minisite

Oh and that is using Vendor that is on pinned comment here. Ask from them straight. Mine came from their Polish warehouse and I think they have warehouse in USA too, but if yhey are out of stock it comes from China and takes longer. But you get good customer service by messaging Sunny Ge on that Vendors page in Alibaba.

[@TECHSUPPORTEBIKE]

Wait 500 watts is too fast really, and am riding 12,000kw😵‍💫🤔

[@Usva78]

Not too fast for me, but for the laws on this kind of vehicles in Finland. 25km/h is limit for bikes on bike lanes, 1kw is also power limit for nominal power. After that it needs to be registered and needs paperwork from manufacturer. Your bikes power 12kW would take it to motorcycle levels in eyes of law here. Use is different as this one is for bike lanes and side of roads like traditional bikes. Yours would be offroad or on road if registered. So using it in city center, this weak powered bike is more suitable. I think it has over 1kW peak power, but it is not even close to same gategory as yours. The speed needs to be limited like this in Finland, if you want to do it correctly 😄😅

[@mankihonda983]

@@Usva78 It helps if your build doesn't look too much like a moped/motorbike and if its a bicycle it doesn't have a giant hubmotor. Also keeping the limiters on in urban areas is probably most relaxing option in that regard. If you blast 40-50kph in bike lanes with an unregistered ebike and you are not in a steep decline at that moment then you are just asking for cops to ruin your day.

[@Usva78]

​@@mankihonda983you are right. I am going to ride in the city mostly, so having limiter for cops is good thing. This does have the option of quite quickly to switch limiter on and off.

[@bruncvik1]

@@Usva78 So how do you quickly switch the limiter on and off? You can also limit the throttle right?

[@Usva78]

@@bruncvik1 power off-hold both breaks and throttle and at same time power on. For some reason on my bike I cant limit speed from display, but I can set power % levels on pedal assists and only thrlttle uses those too. So having like 45%-60-100% on 1-3 pedal assis I can use 1 to go around 27km/h max, 2 to go 35 max and 3 to go max speed
