Mihogo NX Review

[@MommasBoy-ul8nj]

Just discovered your channel this week. Love it. Am also liking that you are not 5'7 160 lbs as I am not a small guy. Wish you would do throttle only top speed tests. You earned a sub! ☺

[@scotthardesty]

Thanks for watching and subscribing. I do a throttle only top speed in my videos. Normally happens before I test out the PAS levels.

[@jockwetmiller4692]

One of the best reviews I seen yet. I put in a campaign order for the Green one with rear rack and battery bag on June 1st. The Campaign says shipments will start in July. I too prefer the thumb throttles, because I have big hands and that twist throttle is not what I want to be grabbing when handling rough terrain. I have converted my Lectric XP, by moving the twister to the left side (in-board, with a cramp buster on it), and really only use it to get started peddling at stops. I also have bought a Polarna M5 & a ViTiLan i7 Pro, which are my speedsters with thumb throttles. Your review on this bike hit all the specs I wanted to know about, to which I very much appreciate your professionalism. I'm really excited about getting the Mihgogo NX, and really can't wait. The helmet you advertised, is pretty cool too. Keep up the great videos.👍

[@scotthardesty]

Thank you for the kind words! I am glad you found value in my review. It's a fun bike to scoot around on and I am working with them right now and should be doing another video talking about some of the changes/improvements they are making to the NX.

[@jockwetmiller4692]

@@scotthardesty I have had to change the cassettes and freewheels on all 4 of my e-bikes to 11-32T to get a reduced ghosting on the top PAS speeds. The Polarna & ViTiLan are 8-speeds and still needed the 11 tooth to get some resistance in pedaling in top PAS. I've also changed tires to street worthy ones which helps on noise and rolling resistance. The three 20 inch folding bikes I have, have different power levels of motors which gives me a variety of rides when riding them on my 15 mile loop. The Lectric is a 500W @ 50 nM, the Polarna is a 750W @ 80 nM, and the ViTiLan is the HOSS at a 750W/1100W-peak @ 85 nM, and was programmed for wheel popping acceleration. I have outfitted all my bikes with dual battery capacities, active together. I can get two 15 mile rides out of them using the higher PAS speeds before recharging at between 25% to 40% after the second ride. They are a old man's great way to keep things circulating. 😁

[@msiman23]

Have you recieved it yet?

[@scotthardesty]

@@jockwetmiller4692 You are deep into these bikes for sure. You definitely more the ins and outs of these bikes more than I do. Impressive.

[@kevinoxley5898]

I have had my NX for a couple of weeks now. Motor is virtually silent now. Road tires are very quiet. Helps the handling, too. Battery mh could be better. I'm going to see if I can change the cassette for better gearing. I ghost peddle all the time and only use motor power. Very fun to ride! It is a real head, Turner! Bang for buck is very good! Similar equipped E bikes cost $1000.00 more.

[@luluwan5212]

Great review; you've made this ebike one of my top 3 contenders for my 1st ebike. And since both of us are 220 pounds, I feel that this review was totally geared towards me. Ps: you got a new subscriber.

[@scotthardesty]

Thanks man! I appreciate that! What are the other 2 in your top 3?

[@karavigroupyachtcharters]

I just bought this bike the review on this video doesn't adjust the bike is beyond better with pedal assist does 32mil max speed and battery does quite some miles at the end of the day you don't get this bike to take a trip to another country. The bike is super solid thick structure only thing is need more attention is the suspension has to be lil softer. Also thump booster is better then throttle.. another thing is my motor is super quiet maybe because you have a prototype they used a different one

[@scotthardesty]

Thanks for the input.

[@josephwest7227]

The bike looks pretty nice,like the idea of wheel on the bottom for moving when folded up.Thanks

[@scotthardesty]

That was the first time I saw that feature. It's smart.

[@stephenstetler3324]

I think for food delivery, this is the ideal e-bike. The bright colors mean you're safe on the roads, and the extra battery and weight support is ideal as utility. I think most people are just going to ride the throttle on this one.

[@scotthardesty]

Unfortunately, I was not sent the rack that can be added, but I would want that if I was doing deliveries. I agree with your comments.

[@sociopathmercenary]

I haven't finished the video yet but I'm excited to see another bike with such a high weight capacity. I'm about 350 lb and I'm looking to change that. I've been considering the Velotric Nomad but this has me interested.

[@scotthardesty]

The Nomad is an excellent bike. It’s in my top 3.

[@talltalesfromanarrowboat]

This bike does seem perfect for me. Compatibility (storage on my boat) Height, I'm 6ft 7. Weight, I am 280lbs. Lighter magnesium frame, however I am slightly concerned by the recent comments on their Indiegogo page, from customers who have already paid, there seems to be an issue with when the orders will be shipped. Great video Scott, thank you.

[@scotthardesty]

Oh wow. I hope they get that worked out.

[@garyspeakman779]

I asked Mihogo what wheels will ship on the Nx to US and answer was spoked wheels like the 4.0 with Kenda Street Tires. If you look on their website, the model will ship like the 1st picture in the list of pictures for the Nx. They will not be shipping the 3 spoked wheels. Further, they indicated the 1st shipment is due to arrive in US in 10 days.

[@scotthardesty]

Thanks for sharing!

[@GLOCKATTACK40]

Thanks for the review. I am concerned about the loud motor and ghost pedaling. They should have used a cassette with more range. Can you do the advertised top speed of 28 on even ground? I think they should have used 1 high capacity battery that would have gone father than 2 very low capacity batteries.

[@scotthardesty]

It can do 28 on even ground. A bigger battery would have been nice.

[@derrickwilkins4572]

I bought a RX Mihogo, I love it ,the look, the take off, & speed is really good, for the price & look, you want find a better deal, got mine 4 weeks ago, steal haven't seen anything that I would consider a better deal, researched for at least 4 weeks, was the best deal out there

[@scotthardesty]

I heard they fixed the loud motor. Is that correct?

[@sociopathmercenary]

Any information on the cells being used for the batteries? Curious how many recharge cycles and such

[@scotthardesty]

I didn’t see anywhere showing the cells are UL Certified but they have documents on their website talking about the cells. Maybe that will give you the answer.

[@zhuzhuzhzu9403]

@@scotthardesty hmmm, I guess they aren’t UL certified if they don’t mention it. I see they are selling for $1199 instead of $999

Great review! I ordered a Wallke H6 which is on the way but now this video has me second guessing that decision.

[@scotthardesty]

Thanks for watching! Sorry! Hahahaha

[@garyspeakman9826]

MIhogo just confirmed the NX will ship with traditional Spokes and the street tires and not the three spoke knobby version on their website.

[@scotthardesty]

They must be trying to save weight by eliminating the mag wheels. Which is unfortunate as that is one of things I like about this bike.

[@renobikehikers5130]

Great review.. However, based on the information on MiHOGO web page... this bike does not fit a person 4' 9". It is for someone taller than 5'' 4". Perhaps you can make that correction.

[@scotthardesty]

Video is out. I can't change it. They might have changed the size after I put up the video since this bike is still in pre production.

[@aaronmorrison9748]

Great review bro do you think it'll stand up to the adventure

[@scotthardesty]

No. It's a foldable bike so it doesn't really compare with a 26" fat tire bike.

[@Splitt100]

not a bad bike but im very partial to my Aventon 2 lol but always looking for a "spare" bike. Helmet sounds pretty cool, was wondering how effective turn signals are on the helmet and the speakers for calls and music is a very nice bonus. I will be checking it out! thank you again for all your reviews.

[@scotthardesty]

You are welcome. The A2 is hard to beat for sure. So far I am enjoying the helmet!

[@pascalj4331]

looks great. Needs new display and quieter motor. Navigation is kinda nice, but power is critical for enjoyment. voltage always helpful, and 9 pas levels mandatory. Crank seems big enough to pedal 25mph, so that is probably your deficit rather than the bikes.

[@scotthardesty]

From what I have heard, they have put a quieter motor on it.

[@jmann1487]

They stopped including an extra battery in all their e-bikes. Just some now. Customer service says it was a site error… but that was a major selling point of these bikes for me.

[@scotthardesty]

I can totally understand. Since it was advertised they need to send the 2nd battery.

[@paulcoinc]

Just curious. Is the bike a loaner bike that is being sent to other reviewers and shows? Reason I ask may explain the battery going down so fast. The bike overall seems good, although there are things I don't like. That is a preference not a jab on the bike. If the battery does just drop like that I would pass even with the 2nd battery.

[@scotthardesty]

No. The bike is mine. It was shipped direct and not used. If you consider how I was riding/testing this bike in the review, I never get the mileage they advertised. If I was just out enjoying the day, it would naturally last longer before being totally drained.

[@BN99239]

Honestly, at $1k, that's an incredible price for the specs. The batteries alone would probably be $400 each, so I'm not sure how they're even able to put hydraulic brakes, dual suspensions, and a 750W motor on the bike at this price point.

Much of this sounds great, except for the quick battery drain, and noisy motor! What most e-bike manufacturers could do to maximize their sales is build with tracking installed, as well as more anti-theft features.
