iGo Fat Freddy Electric Bike Review - $1899 All Purpose E-Bike!

[@nycewheels]

Due to the increase on Chinese Imports, the price of this bike has gone up from the time this video was produced. As of now this bike sells for $1899, but now has a wired in rear light and improved full coverage fenders!

[@fredfrond6148]

Canadian price still $1999 CAD in US 75 cent Canadian dollars.

[@brianmi40]

Actually, it's now available as a "Veego" from Ride Scoozy, Saint Petersburg, FL, and now is only $1499 with a vastly improved seat instead of the spring seat post. It may be the best value in this range, having a front suspension, rack, fenders, and name brand Bafang motor / 13ah batteries.

*Love the **Latest.Bike** it's getting warmer here in Minnesota. So I can't go to fast with it yet but once it does I will use it more often and save on gas to work.*

[@HomeOttawa]

Fantastic bike! I took it for a ride from your store over Easter, and have been trying to find reviews, but there are very few, thanks for yours. It's top of my list.

[@nycewheels]

This bike has quickly become a favorite at our shop! There's not many iGo dealers in the states so there may not be a ton of reviews for such a new bike from them, but we've been working with iGo for a few years now and they are excellent at making quality bikes at a great price. Feel free to reach out if you have any more questions!

[@edge8edge]

I believe this bike has the pedals that fold too. It’s not a complete fold up and out of the way but enough to help when storing it away.

[@johngiovanini5935]

I'm always impressed with the selfie stick camera work! Nice review! :)

[@donf18]

Very similar to Scoozy Veego (which I own 2). The Veego (500 Watt foldable) sells for about the same but has front light and rear brake light and rear turn signals with larger fenders. Doesn't have sprung seat but a Cloud 9 that tips up to remove battery. It takes about 5 minutes to remove the throttle if that's an issue. It is an industrial strength eBike...

[@trulyblessed383]

Nice colors no one else have many colors

[@drEmulatorMadmax]

only 6,433 views wtaf ? nice review btw and dam your shop is huge bud, i'm envious af :p

[@nycewheels]

Thanks!

[@fredfrond6148]

Walk assist! Now that is the lazy man’s ebicycle.

[@xmrchubbyx]

Hey man that shits heavy imagine pushing that bitch up a long steep hill hell naw

[@valveman12]

This looks like the VEE GO.

[@elonmoosk1447]

Yes, basically the same bike, but the Veego has the throttle on the right side and it's prices are a little cheaper.

[@spkt0r]

Hello, Great channel.

[@corv989]

Can you attach a children's co-pilot bike on the back of it?

[@archmagus1510]

nice bike.can i ask whats your weight?can it hold my 250?

[@nycewheels]

can hold 250 no problem ;)

[@costas4287]

What is the maximum weight this bike can take. I'm a big guy and I'm interested for this bike.

[@nycewheels]

They don't advertise one, but likely can hold over 250lbs no problem. It's a heavy duty aluminum frame.

[@bloodsport_718nyc]

Do you guys carry any other bikes not listed on your site?

[@nycewheels]

We only carry what we advertise online. If there's something you're looking at but don't see from our site, we can likely find you a similar suitable replacement from what we offer.

[@bloodsport_718nyc]

thanks for the quick response. the closest would be this bike but i'm not crazy about the form.

[@joeashbubemma]

Nice e-bike but even with additional cost of rear rack, fenders and seat post, 750W RadMini is still cheaper.

[@brianmi40]

Today, May 2020, they are now the same price ($1499), with the tradeoff that the Veego (brand of bike shown above from Ride Scoozy) has a rack, and the RadMini has no rack, but 1ah larger battery, and a higher step over height.

[@DanielLopes-jt8yl]

What about the Rad mini? Why you say there are no other bikes as good? I have a Rad mini and it’s a stronger bike w/11-34 tooth free wheel cassette. Vego has 11-32. Also Rad mini comes standard with 750w Vego comes 500w (both these same price out the box). With the double bars Rad mini is more suited for the long haul i.e. city (pot holes eat.) and light off road. My mini eats city up at full go. Too after market selection is growing. I plan to put 30amp controller on my mini to increase torque. Both bikes are 60 newt meters but I want more and the bike is adaptable so why not.

[@king1ny]

how does this compare to the addmotor m-150 p7 ? thanks.

[@nycewheels]

This has a bigger battery, more functional frame with the built in rack, and iGo's customer support and warranty assistance is excellent.

[@janedoedashsevfivfiv9265]

And how does one "peak" the motor in order to get 750 strength?

[@nycewheels]

Go up a big hill ;)

[@fayjaimike]

How long is the warranty on this bike?

[@jameslaubacker2171]

It's the same 500 w moter. That's on all bikes...

[@coryphillips1783]

You failed to realize and mention also, that if the seat had a flip lock, the battery would be easily stolen

[@nycewheels]

Well the seatpost is quick release and the battery is locked to the frame, if a thief really wants it they'll need to break the battery lock either way, and a regular seat post won't stop them.

[@josemiller4321]

still open

[@fanjapanischermusik]

want

[@tomhirschel8524]

Single speed? Less to go wrong..... Like the hummingbird electric BIKE.

[@retromaticmike5388]

$1899 now

[@nycewheels]

Those pesky tariffs...

[@JogBird]

yikes, that ebike weighs more than 4x my road bike

[@nycewheels]

I mean it's got a huge lithium battery and powerful hub motor so I would hope your road bike isn't anywhere near the same weight.

[@thomaslavery5168]

JogBird I bet it can go 4x faster

[@skepticsr_us]

@@thomaslavery5168 Not on a hill very long

[@brianmi40]

and comes with an Olympic Class Long Distance Racer's output to push it (350 watts is equivalent to a long distance competitive bikers output, so 500 watts exceeds that...), which makes pedaling it with Pedal Assist like your bike being 1/2 the weight that it is.

[@jamesnewsam]

what a name though lol

[@nycewheels]

Hey at least there's no confusion on what it is! >_

[@YouCantSeeMeENT]

Throttle bikes are illegal according to Mr DiBlasio

[@nycewheels]

Yes, this is true, but throttles are also easily removable. This bike can be ridden 100% legally as a class 1 ebike.

[@freeminded8509]

You can have it in most states. You just can't have a watt motor over 750 and you can only go up 25 mph. Other wise a bike and scooter is fine. Think about it when the last time you seen a cop pull over a bike. Haha'

[@YouCantSeeMeENT]

MONSTER MINDED in NYC is the a new thing NYPD targets any ebike with a throttle

[@arabella7979]

Depends, I live in nyc and have an ebike. Very similar style to this one, with half twist throttle. Had a nice long chat with an NYPD officer while pulled over on my phone one day. Other officers walked right by and said nothing. He thought the bike was really cool and had a lot of questions about it. Said he wanted to get back into cycling and was considering an ebike himself :P

[@fredfrond6148]

Hopefully drug and human traffickers should be a little higher on the cops list. Of course in Alabama they might give you a ticket cause that is how they get tax money.

[@stephenhopkins2671]

.... Beats me with 4" Wheels Oversized Weight & Studded Contact Patch all Boosting it's Capacity to Tear Up Trails. Be careful since this Motor Driven Thing is probably BANNED from Any Kind of PARKS TRAIL in and around NYC... Basically a Motorized Cop Magnet, since it looks more like it qualifies as an ATV, which in NYC goes directly to jail. But worse yet studded tires destroy the trails even hard packed - sadly when you go upstate you can see how 2" studded tires on "human muscle powered" bikes make a horrible mess of trails that already cost a fortune.

[@jameslaubacker2171]

Junk.. Don't buy them... Get normal tires... Then a. 20 in.. will be to small...

[@jameslaubacker2171]

Fat bikes is not what you want.... Fat bikes tires will eat up all your power... Hell,, hard to peddle...
