I am from Canada. We just took 3 Jetson Bolt Pro bikes camping in the Canadian Rockies. We rode them on pavement and on trails. They are a bit tricky and can go out from under you if you hit a rut or loose gravel but overall they performed impressively considering the size and the price.

[@leetjohnson]

I was wondering that about the smaller tires...luckily I haven't had any spills...yet! Thanks for sharing!

[@kijijipro6725]

Yeah, you gotta be careful on certain terrain. The centre of gravity of this clown bike is considerably different than on traditional bikes.

I bought this bike for my nephew. We did about a 16 mile trip. He pedals maybe 25% of the time and he still had 3 bars of battery. Of course weighing 60lbs and the flat terrain, I'm sure had a huge effect.

[@leetjohnson]

Absolutely! Weight is huge with smaller bikes like this. Thanks for watching!

[@Internetpilot]

I live in NE Florida. I've had a big cargo ebike for almost a year now, and love it. I recently came across Jetson Bolt Pro when watching other ebike mod videos. Can't believe this thing is only $340 at Costco (which also has a great return policy so minimal risk). The temptation was too much -- had to get it! So far I love it. You can't really directly compare this bike to bigger ebikes, but even just kinda comparing the two the Jetson Bolt Pro does really well for what it is. I'm also 6'3", but 245lbs and this little booger pushes this big fat guy pretty well here in relatively flat Florida. I took it on its first real ride to run some local errands, and it did really well. I mostly pedal to get it started or to go up slight inclines, but after I'm going I only use the throttle. I went ~10 miles and still had 1/2 the charge left on the battery when I got home, so it would probably do the 17 miles per charge the way I ride it. I'm already putting a taller (450mm) seat post on it as the stock one is a little low for me, replacing the mechanical brake calipers with better hydraulic calipers (not full hydraulic brakes), and I'm going to do the 19mph speed hack. Eventually I'll probably get a higher amp hour battery for it (you can get 36v/10ahr battery that is the same dimensions as the stock 36v/6ahr battery) depending on how much the range suffers from the 19mph speed hack. The fun factor of this tiny ebike is through the roof!

[@garysorensen7724]

You may have started something using the Jetson Bolt as a pit bike. I drag race occasionally at Wild Horse Pass dragstrip in Chandler / Phoenix Az (formerly "Firebird Raceway"). I see several during local race events as well as the bigger national events. Watching and reading comments because I am thinking of buying one myself, mainly for local errands, to visit friends most live 1-4 miles away. I am convinced that this reasonable priced e bike will fit my needs and do the job. Maybe my friends will follow suit. FYI - I hear that Wild Horse Pass will be closed permanently after the NHRA national event here in February of 2023. Sad to me, as I was there opening day at 16 yrs old in 1983. And been racing there since '84'.

[@En4cer2K9]

I live in California. The Jetson was basically my "gateway drug" into the ebike realm. I bought a refurbished Bolt Pro online, and I liked it at first. It topped out at 12 mph, but the range wasn't great. It only got around 6-8 miles per charge. I've since bought 2 more bikes, with a 3rd on the way in a month. A Totguard bike off Amazon that goes 21 mph, and a Freesky fat tire bike also from Amazon that goes 28-30 mph, both go about 20 miles per charge. I just recently bought an Ariel Rider Kepler bike that's about a month away and is supposed to go 32 mph with a much larger 52v 20ah battery (which will hopefully translate to even further range).

[@leetjohnson]

That's awesome!! Having a 52v battery with that much Ah is gonna be epic! I think if I have to choose between range and speed, above 30mph is solid, after that, range becomes the bigger issue. I love the new dual battery setups...can't wait for battery tech to keep improving and getting cheaper. Thanks for the comment and watching this video, I really appreciate it!

[@krisj5561]

Wtf is the point of buying so many? 🤔

[@En4cer2K9]

@@krisj5561 because once I got one and got used to it, I wanted "more". So I got another better one. Wash, rinse, repeat.

[@En4cer2K9]

Update: so I have the Ariel Rider Kepler now, and it goes a legit 35mph on throttle only. 0-30 is quick and effortless, and then it works its way up from 30 to 35. When limiting speed to 20-25 mph, I got about 30 miles out of the battery, to about 8%.

My Jetson Bolt Pro is currently on its way to my home. Read good reviews prior, looked to be what I currently needed, and great price ~ even for me buying from Jetson site. This video provided even more info for me, and I’m so pleased to see that the ride results were what I hoped for with this e-bike. I will be doing a lot of peddling, as well, so I’ll be able to get around pretty great, I believe.

[@leetjohnson]

You're gonna love it! Glad the video helped!

[@edwardcephas3843]

Absolutely. Pedaling you'll get an instant response from the accelerator and it saves battery that way.juat keep in mind while pedaling it's sensitive so you don't really have to push it too hard, almost like you're pushing against a cloud, if that makes sense. Just try it you'll get what I mean. Let the engine do the work manageably and you'll enjoy long rides without fail.

[@HelloYiddy]

@@edwardcephas3843 thanks for the advice. I saw one of Shiva’s videos saying that the brakes are very sensitive, so to take time getting used to them. It sounds like this is the very responsive/supportive power type of bike I’d hoped for; but also that means I should take some time initially in some quieter areas to become familiar with the way it handles.

[@edwardcephas3843]

@@HelloYiddy Exactly. Where I live there are hills and flat areas everywhere and because I'm a delivery courier (with this bike) I've had to do a ton of research on ways to maximize the potential of the Bolt Pro, even with the OEM battery thats installed. It's an amazing machine but doesn't look like it if you just stare at it. (It's my kind of ride, unassuming but powerful under the hood) Even when making deliveries my customers are floored when they see me come in with their stuff, and many stated that i got here quicker than they were prepared for. I can take, or create many byways where a car can't and its paid off well for me and my customers. I love the bike, but one of the only things that can be a turn off is the throttle, it is installed with a tough adhesive but the inner part of the plastic can be weak in higher temps (i'm in sunny Florida) so its prone to breaking, and while industrial glue can fix that quickly for a time it'll need to be replaced. If you have Jetson's warranty they can send you a replacement throttle under coverage or you can replace the bike with credit back for the cost of the bike. I've used the warranty myself and got a brand new bolt pro this way, they were really helpful given my situation at the time.

My neighbor was moving and he bought it from the house and I asked him if he was going to sell it, he said he was so I said I would buy it for $ 200.00 he accepted cash. I haven't rode it yet. I adjusted the brakes, reflectors front and rear. I figured out the warning bell, thought it was broken but just push down on tab and release for one ding repeat repeat repeat. I rotated the handles for the brakes about 30 degree so they face more forward ( feels better for me). I checked the tires air. Seat feels right so I'm ready to test drive. So far I am impressed with ease of adjustment. Allen wrenches and two screwdrivers one medium standard and one medium Philips. Oh yeah he gave a nice air pump and the charger.

[@leetjohnson]

Sounds like a great deal! Remember, short press (1 second) on the button on the right will turn on the cruise control and a long press (3-4 seconds) will turn on the front headlight!

[@edwardcephas3843]

Depending on how far you pull the throttle you can actually see a 30 mile range even with the full auto and cruise control; there is a point where you can feel the engine doing its thing based on different levels of the throttle, the goal is for it not to vibrate too much because thats an indicator of the amount of power/acceleration the engine is giving, and how much its draining the battery. This bike and motor does not require you to pull the throttle all the way to achieve the max speeds. Riders keep this noted. :) -- Floridian Bolt Pro Rider

[@edwardcephas3843]

Aim for a constant speed of 10 mph and you're golden.

[@leetjohnson]

I noticed that too! Just curious, what is your weight? I wonder if this is more noticeable for heavy riders vs lighter riders. I assume even less throttle is needed to get a lighter rider to full speed. Just like an electric or gas car, the acceleration is what kills the milage, not necessarily the speed (wind notwithstanding). Thanks for watching and the comment as well, I appreciate it!

[@edwardcephas3843]

@@leetjohnson I'm between 140-160lbs and absolutely, factors like weight, wind resistance (I wear a wind breaker), and hills will make a difference in your average distance. I try to switch between when and where i use the battery, if I'm expecting a hill I turn it off altogether just to save even more, those little habits start becoming period where you don't have to charge for days. I convinced my next door neighbor who weighs around 200+ to pick up one and those habits helped his distance as well. he generally charges every few days and he's a daily rider like I am.

[@edwardcephas3843]

Also the crank and chain ring on this bike is really small so you have to pedal gently to not overwork the motor (referring to my last post about that sweet spot/speed for battery) Jetson referred me to a nice 52T/42T chainring that makes pedaling even with dead battery a breeze.: www.amazon.com/DONSP1986-Crankset-Mountain-Bicycle-Chainring/dp/B088NC7P6L/ref=asc_df_B088NC7P6L/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=475805715755&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=9173246196956206525&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9004156&hvtargid=pla-1161841539104&psc=1

I'm looking for a comparison of this to my Hoverway Sprinter which is out of stock difficult to find and no peddle assist but goes 14 mph and 6 miles each way for a 12 mile round trip. While I would like to have the biking peddle option, proper planning should keep me from ever needing it and walking the ebike will be just punishment for improper planning. I truly like the Sprinters sleak design and conversation starter of having no peddles so it can't be mistaken for a lowly bike-bike. That's the trade off and I'm fine with that.

[@leetjohnson]

They both sound like great options for you!

[@drtroyturner7464]

@@leetjohnson Update. I purchased the Jetson Bolt Pro 2nd hand, love it and creates my own 2 youtube videos comparing it to my Hoverway Sprinter that I sold.

Nice!

Picked one up from Costco. Easy up setup, but like someone else said, the wheels are small and you can fall if you hit a bump

[@leetjohnson]

Yeah, also don't lean back too much!!

[@MrTtaakk]

I'm looking at purchasing one, that's one of my concerns, what has to be setup? And is it light enough to carry up 2 flight of stairs?

[@westmcgee9320]

@@MrTtaakk hopefully, you’ve already gotten your answer but just in case… Yes. It’s light enough to carry up stairs. Maybe more importantly, it is small enough. The awkwardness of other, larger bikes, is a price we pay for their added functionality. Being small counts for a lot. Set up was straightforward. A few Allen wrenches for the stem, I think, and it was just about there. I think the pedals has to be installed, as well. Too bad Costco moved on from them. The deal was soooo good.

[@MrTtaakk]

@West McGee I purchased it, it's definitely easy to carry up 2 flight of stairs & easy setup.

[@leetjohnson]

So sorry for the late response...yes, it folds and carries well, especially compared to most other ebikes. Glad you got one and it worked out!

[@sonamsam23]

Great Sunny day and real range test, should do hill test too

Short stuff here… and a light weight… so probably getting max miles out of my Bolt Pro… I bought mine for use mostly in Florida State Parks… sometimes it is many long miles to the camp store or a trailhead from our camping spot… and steamy summer is coming… 🥵

nice man. I feel lucky i only weigh 155. I get 13 miles. And theres still power left and no slowing down. tested with temps 60-70s in norcal.

[@leetjohnson]

That's awesome!!

[@CryptoSeven7]

Great video. I think I just ordered a 48 volt version but otherwise same. Good idea to stop before the bike literally stopped as you did to be kind to the battery.

[@leetjohnson]

Thanks! That's awesome that is 48v, where did you find that bike, online?

[@CryptoSeven7]

@@leetjohnson yes Amazon - just six amps though so I'll be going up to 20 at some point for mega range (hopefully).

[@kijijipro6725]

For reference, I'm doing about 40km (or 24 miles) with pedal assist, in real street settings with flat/hills and 200 pound rider. This e-bike is fun and stress free to pedal so I'm sure most people riding the Jetson will be pedaling at least a bit.

[@leetjohnson]

Awesome, thank you for the feedback!

[@darinrasmussen5828]

So the bike goes faster if you also pedal while using the throttle?

[@leetjohnson]

@@darinrasmussen5828 yes, it can, but only a few miles an hour faster and you will have to be pedaling like crazy due to the single gear.

[@leetjohnson]

@@darinrasmussen5828 pedaling mostly increases the range, especially if you pedal off the line rather than only using motor (as I did in this video).

[@HelloYiddy]

Thank you for sharing your results ~ I will definitely be pedaling a lot, in addition to occasionally needing the power each ride. So, from folks sharing their real life use, this model does seem to be the right choice for me for a first e-bike, and will be a perennial go-to model for around town errands or just joy riding on the wealth of paved trails we have here.

Good , informative video and nice beach location, although I wish your city planner folks would keep cars far away from the pier (and tidied up those sidewalks) because it all looks a bit too dense and messy in there. Anyways, there's a speed hack for this bike where you can do 19mph with just a cheap arduino board. There's a video tutorial on youtube.

When I do my channel I am going to start off with a recap of where I am for one thing and who I am and what I do because that way I can just watch the video and not skip forward and Skip through a lot of what might be good stuff. My name is Sandy I'm from Newport I just got my Costco ebike Jetson Bolt Pro for $339 plus tax and I like the scenery of what I found out was Oceanside when you got to the Oceanside Yacht Club. Thanks for the info. I used to live in Hawaii mostly Hilo and they are not very bike-friendly there I hope they do get bike-friendly someday and I'd like to go there and try their bike pads once they get them.

Aloha! My grandmother and dad were born on Oahu, my dad at Tripler Hospital (military hospital on the hill). That's a great idea about the intro!

[@ridesharebiz5317]

Great video. I saw them at Costco but I felt an ebike with fat tires was more my speed. The electric scooter caught my attention but no exercise. Stay safe riding.

[@leetjohnson]

Yeah, my other bikes are fat tire bikes from Rad Power Bikes and I absolutely love it! You should check out their website, radpowerbikes.com, best quality and value for the money for any full sized ebike. Thanks for watching!
