More Ebikes Should Do This: Belt Driven, Double Battery NIU BQi-C3 Pro

[@mdhj67]

Where I live there are almost no hills so the lack of gearing is a minor problem, not a deal breaker at all.

[@veerefsyoutube5057]

It was nice meeting you guys this week at the park. My wife and I were riding the muddy fat tire bikes. Speaking of belt driven bikes, I just ordered the Ride1UP Roadster V2 gravel edition. Keep up the great content, 👍

[@junkiegamer]

I have this ebike and I got it up to 31mph with pedel assist. I love mine.

[@mr_wrongway]

Now that's a vehicle I'm interested in!

[@Andrew-vt4jt]

UL certification is key for the future of PEVs! I'll bring it on our road trip.

[@Lantea13]

Love the design and the white colour. Wish it was available in Europe. Need to find a friend that plans to move to Europe so they can bring me one :D

[@ronnoc0887]

Not enough battery in my opinion. Twice the batteries but only like 20-30 percent more capacity then other bikes. Sounds like more chances for something to go wrong without a ton of extra benefit

[@ASLunar]

Honestly this is one of the more overpriced ebikes I've seen.

[@niumobility]

Thank you for your comment, user feedback is very important to us. We've been able to get up to 90 miles range *Tested with a full charge carrying a 165lb rider on a flat road without wind, at an average speed of 9mph or 15km/h.

[@teds4165]

Got mine for 300 USD .. it's a good bike

[@bxnym]

Where did you buy it for that price

[@Dustinrhoades]

You guys do such excellent reviews. I really appreciate all the time and energy you put into producing these. Thank you.

[@Channel323]

made it back for another awesome video. Lets Get It!!!!!

[@ForbinColossus]

I hope this bike gets the Gates belt drive to catch on with more bikes at the lower pricepoints.

[@freshlycharged]

Hopefully this is just the beginning!

[@E-Ryders]

Thats freakin AWESOME! The two things my viewers seem to care about are usually "How Fast" and "How Far". With those two batteries, you gotta be getting some good range! Would love to review #NIUBQi-C3 Pro bike one day.

[@g00fysmiley]

I like it, but if doing 2 batteries they should sell upgrades for larger batteries to say be able to buy it and upgrade to 1 kwh batteries for 2 kwh total. Also a back rack is nice but why no front rack mount to buy an accessory so then a nice long range low maintenance commuter.

[@niumobility]

Thank you for your feedback, customer feedback is very important to us and we will share this with the product team.

[@theresa337]

Sounds like the perfect bike to replace a car, without regard for weather.

[@TheDJGray]

Great work as always Andrew and Jimmy, will you have the opportunity to review a Specialized or Trek E-Bikes anytime soon?

[@watchthe1369]

Actually is is an old school bike, stand in the pedals for bumps. Grocery freighter and work commute.

[@eBoard3R]

🤙🏼⚡ *Nice to see more and more ebikes goin belt drive!* ⚡🤙🏼

[@teddy_123.]

Nice bro love it

[@freshlycharged]

Thanks 🔥

[@woolfwoolf]

That is a great bike at the price. Belts drive is what I want for sure, this bike is to street specific for me though. I wouldn't like the one gear either. I will point this out to my brother though.

[@jimjr9143]

Makes me wonder if companies check the competition before pricing. Mechanical brakes, 500 watt motor, 750 peak(my $1200 lectric maxes at 1000watts). 48v (at the $2000 price range we should be at 52v and 750 watts nominal. Think its the first ebike at the $2000 price range i have heard of that is only 500 watts. Ariel rider Kepler , magicycle ocelot pro. Etc , etc . Oh wow. Just read the 48v 20ah is the total capacity combined , on the site. 45nm torque. What the?!?!

[@freshlycharged]

Competition is what will drive the market.

[@hemaccabe4292]

Would want a mid drive. Might be good to have internal gear shift.

[@mr.techie8565]

A lot of belt drive ebikes have internal hub gearing, but this one can't because it has a hub motor

[@hipostang23]

Really like it, but missing suspension fork and only a step through design are breakers. It must be hard to make a less expensive version of the Riese & Mueller multi charger…

[@BlaineRush-b8h]

There's a million bikes that do what you're talking about. Not everyone wants a cheap, junky front suspension that barely does anything and breaks after a year. This is a low maintenance indestructible bike meant for daily use.

[@srobeck77]

With batteries on both sides, it makes it very awkward to add accessories like a water bottle and folding bike lock. You use velco straps, but even with this clunky setup, u still have to remove them each time you need to re-charge the batteries.

[@jimmyboy223335]

Can I take the battery out and charge it off the bike?

[@timscott3027]

I like this bike, in some ways it is similar to my rad runner. I do think though that for the price it should have hydraulics, I can tell you from experience that cable disks, while cheap to run, are a real pain in the arse, regular adjustment to keep them working well.

[@mauiaguirre]

Did you get radrunner 2 or RadRunnerPlus?

[@timscott3027]

@@mauiaguirre runner 1

[@TaylorQuade]

This bike weighs 70lbs. That's insane.

[@wajahatnawaz2145]

Have anyone tested the battery range?

[@Steve-fm8zz]

I really dont understand the love for gates belt drives. I have one on my ebike and i absolutely hate it. It makes replacing a rear tire an even bigger pain. It's too easy to stretch the belt and replacement parts are expensive, require specialized tools and are monopolized by one company. Also your local bike shop may not be able to help you if they dont stock gates parts. Performance-wise you have only one gear ratio so it limits your ability to efficiently contribute power to the drivetrain and therefore reduces the maximum range and speed of your bike. The only benefits i see to belt drive are its negligibly quieter, and doesnt require maintainence... but chain maintenance is SO easy and infrequent it's not a selling point for me at all when you consider all the other downsides. Furthermore... want to upgrade to a mid-drive? Me too! have fun rebuilding your rear wheel to remove the hub motor, and source a normal hub that will work with your fatbike's O.L.D. and fat rim that are almost exclusively made in china. It's cost me $150 for the hub and around $300 for the rim rebuild, gears, chains, derailleur, shifter, and spokes.

[@-joo3033]

gates is best paired with something like a Pinion gearbox In a reqular non ebike...

[@rncondie]

Makes no sense to offer dual batteries that collectively are the size of my one battery

[@Steve-fm8zz]

@@rncondie There is a logic behind that! They wanted to incorporate the batteries into the frame while keeping the step-thru design. There's not a whole lot of space for batteries on this step-thru unless you put them on the rack.

[@ilkerilgen]

Where comes the noise ? Motor? Tires?

[@teds4165]

Front ender rattles & the cadence sensor on the crank clicks

[@oplkfdhgk]

they should have called it akimbo. 😀

[@вечная_мерзлота]

3:31 "takes off and stops at 20mph" 😂 what a joke. I thought he was going to say stops at 60mph. now that'd be a take off.

[@kennethhudson8013]

Why don't they put a generator on the bikes

[@timscott3027]

Because of the reality of physics.

[@jltplease]

Wow easily removable batteries. (*Cough, EUC)

[@CodeDeb]

Sounds loud and brakes squeal

[@foam27]

No suspension sux.

[@niumobility]

Thank you for your feedback. Frame and fork suspensions are for off-road control, not on-road comfort. They increase the overall weight of the bike, which is why they are not suitable for a commuter bike.

[@BlaineRush-b8h]

I'm very happy that it has no suspension. More durable and lighter! It's almost a perfect bike, I just wish it had mounts on the frame for a front rack (the type that doesn't turn with the handlebars)@@niumobility

[@nateopie]

Are you using a LDS church for recording videos? lol

[@des2610]

Guys, totally love your reviews, Just awesome, but can you stop treating us like little children with the "Safety Gear " messages all the time !!!??? You sound like the nanniey statte governnnment police!!!
