I Bought The Cheapest E-Bike On Amazon! Should you??

[@rubytuby6369]

I got mine about a month ago, definitely needed the spring in the post seat, also handlebars were way too low for me. Put on a new stem and 4 inch rise handlebars.

[@edinelsonramirez5656]

Handlebars also need to be swapped out for a more swept-back design. Straight bars didn't cut it!

[@smessino]

Straight bars were great, I had to swap out the stem to get a better angle for riding.

[@robmcguckin7605]

The industry is constantly changing, I know but 4 months later Q Life bikes offers a 26" bike with a 750 watt motor/36 volt battery built into the step thru frame and they claim a 40 mile range with a 20 mph top speed for $289.

[@YSLaddicted21]

With $200 shipping

[@Sam-un5km]

you could get Jasion EBX 850 watts motor that go 25 mph and go 55 mile range for around $450 including shipping

[@BloodHoundIso]

um check the shipping its over $200 lol

[@ronschultz34]

*New subscriber Great video! Although this bike isn't what I'm looking for, I like your presentation. I'm 60, with arthritic knees and right hip, so I'm looking for something with more power and range. It has made me rethink how I approach buying my first ebike on a very tight budget.

[@RiverbedRides]

I'm happy to hear it was able to provide you some value, Ron! Thanks!

[@smessino]

The step over is not as easy you would hope.

[@billywalkup6499]

I think viewers should realize that with pedal assist you are not relying completely on the motor to get you up the hill so it’s less likely to stall as it did on the video. This is a less expensive bike so it will not have as much power as high end bike.

[@rudylocs420]

even my velotric nomad with 750w 1300 peak will cut out if i try to throttle only on certain dirt trails

[@IamKingFace1]

Ok as far as the take off with throttle only..Try this. It normally works this way with half throttles. When you twist the throttle, twist it twice and hold. It should give you full power from the motor. I had to do this with the razor mx350. I don’t think many people know this hack.

[@IamKingFace1]

@@engineerkentgaming1371 I have an e-bike now. And mines does not work that way. I have a half throttle but it acts as a regular twist throttle.

[@ninjaturtleadeel]

Good review...bought one myself this week and its working great. Just hope it holds up over time!

[@RiverbedRides]

Thanks! I'd love to hear your feedback as you put miles on it. I'll be back with my observations as well at about 500 or so miles.

[@JustinEthnostate]

how's the bike holding up?

[@BigBoyDaJohn]

Thanks been riding mines for a few weeks now. I didn’t realize the weight limit was like 250lbs I’m 355lbs and I go up to 18 but I an upgrade my battery.

[@seanogorman3617]

Hey. Where did you find upgraded battery ?

[@TuxEarth]

Ohhh, it lets you? Where do you get one? (waiting for mine from Amazon)

[@southernshooter]

Just bought a 500w Heybike. Seems like 350 would not be enough. 500 is barely enough. Was $500 on Amazon plus some freight. Strange that al l of the gauges etc are identical on the Heybike as yours.

[@joshuaostrander2796]

I use mine for commuting to work and home

[@maysen51]

Can u review the plus version that has a 750 motor

[@dannyboy8644]

Hi ,does the digital display give both speed and distance? never used an e.bike . Thinking about using this with my dog at low speeds no more than 15 mph and no mote than 7 miles in distance. Thanks

[@RiverbedRides]

@@dannyboy8644 Yes, the display shows both speed as well as has an odometer.

[@staceyjanzen9865]

Great introduction for novice

[@seanogorman3617]

You said 350 watts. I have eb- x which is 450. Coming in mail. Do you think would be much difference. ?

[@queenliz2258]

I live in Florida where it rains a lot and was wondering if this bike is waterproof? I need a good e bike to ride to school but if I leave it outside it will 100% get rained on lol

[@RiverbedRides]

The product information claims that the e-bike is IPX4 waterproof and can withstand spray from wet roads or light rain. However, Jasion does not recommend riding in heavy rain or submerging the bike. I wouldn't personally trust any of the electronic components in the rain.

[@annreba]

Get a cover or take battery off. Easy. Good low priced bike. Switch seat and maybe get a 'stem aduster' 20bux. Huge help for comfort. I'm fl too and I just bought a second eb5. Praying its same as first one Read up on how to help bike battery last it will be worthwhile .

[@queenliz2258]

@@annreba ok thanks!

[@JustinEthnostate]

@@annreba there's also a controller, a display, and other electrical components that would render the bike useless if they were to take on water damage

[@FullaTeeth]

Do you think it would perform with the same result on trails?

[@RiverbedRides]

Gentle trails, yes. I wouldn't take it downhill or on anything you expect to leave the ground. The forks have a warning sticker on them that says "Do not use for downhill or freeride".

[@casper12365]

Good job!

[@FullaTeeth]

I am 5'3" and wonder if that one inch out of range would make for a sore ride?

[@RiverbedRides]

My wife is 5' 6" and can put both feet flat on the ground with the seat at the lowest. I feel it would fit you just fine!

[@FullaTeeth]

@@RiverbedRides Thank you for both the video and the prompt response.

[@curtwuollet2912]

I finally switched from a 26" to a 20". It was getting too hard to swing my leg over and mounting and dismounting were less than graceful. I'm 70 and 5'4". Don't do a Biden dismount.

[@smessino]

The problem with the bike design is they make a one size fits all.

[@faykern8035]

I’m 5’3 with one as well, feet barely touch the ground, hard for me to get my leg over the bike while getting on, but it’s been getting me to work and been great

[@codycody1955]

a good battery is worth more than this bike.

[@TheManormedia]

Cool story bro

[@luckadoo7982]

18:50 👍🏼

[@Mr-Fry-Guy]

i want this bike

[@MimicoBungalow]

...any bike that don't got even rudimentary fenders don't get my vote...super crappy pedals...wonder why they didn't just wire the rear LED light to the battery, if the front one is? I could do without the COLOUR LCD - the rear light is more important...Looks/sounds like it's more like a 250 watt motor...

[@brettphillips5267]

I was about to buy one of this. But on like steep hill wise you need to help it out on pedaling wise? This would be my first electric price. Was looking something cheap for the time being to take me to my first job and such like responding to volunteer fire department calls and such. I do have a normal type bike. But would like to try a ebike wise.

[@RiverbedRides]

The motor is just too underpowered to handle any kind of real hills. If you are already riding those hills on your pedal bike, it wouldn't be much different than what you're already experiencing. But once you're on flat, your legs will get a much deserved break.

[@brettphillips5267]

@@RiverbedRides even on steady type decent incline hills? As I don't have a problem on a decent hill but steep one like forget it. Gonna push you up lol

[@RiverbedRides]

@@brettphillips5267 The bike will do just fine on a steady incline, but a steep hill like the one in the beginning of the video, the bike had no chance. Most of the mileage I put on it in the video was steady hills and the bike did great.

[@codycody1955]

i would not trust the battery at this price ,fire hazard

[@JohnBabcock-qy1cs]

Get your feet wet with this e-bike and decide what real bike you may want next season. Don't spend $1,000 on an e-bike. Go closer to the $2,000 price point or get something like this. Even $1,000 you may be wishing you went ahead and got the more powerful one with the bigger battery. My battery alone cost more than $500

[@seanogorman3617]

Is it possible to upgrade the battery? Also, by more power you just mean more torque I imagine? Cause this one does reach max legal speed if I heard correctly

[@Billy-cs4cc]

It's not like a regular bike weighing 15-20 lbs. Lol

[@JOHNGIBS]

E BIKE 😂😂😂😂😂😂
