For that price, I'd gladly take my Wallke H9 AWD with dual 1000W motors and 100 mile range.

[@bkpoirier]

Too bad they are so damn ugly!

[@Andrew-3445]

@@bkpoirier I don't think it looks bad. Looks decent in person. Downside to it is the size and weight.

[@slimdunkin117]

@@Andrew-3445 its a completely different bike..the bike being reviewed is a mountain bike. you have a street commuter

[@twincitiestara]

Looks like the Wallke is not street-legal in Minnesota though, where Class 3 bikes are allowed on sidewalks, bike trails, or (unless you get a motorcycle license) even city streets. Too bad it lacks the feature of dialing it down to Class 1/2 the way the VanPowers bike does, as its long range would make the H9 a PERFECT commuter bike in almost every other way. (CORRECTION: I pulled up the manual, and it says you can limit the max speed to 20 MPH, essentially making it a Class 1/2 bike as long as you keep the limiter turned on. I'm pretty sure that's sufficient for MN laws, but I think I need to check with my local DMV before I seriously consider purchasing one.)

[@twincitiestara]

@@slimdunkin117 The Wallke H9 is very much an off-road bike.

[@The_Mustang_Den]

Shimano cues is a decent system with LinkGlide. I run a Shimano XL LinkGlide on my QueitKat Ibex. Have not chewed up a small gear since the install. Thicker metal with guides for the chain. Shifts a bit slower, but way more durable. Great to see this tech finally reaching the affordable e-bike world. I’m an avid bike rider and as I get older (I’m 53) and all the battle damage from my 30 years in the military start to show, I find myself riding my analog gravel bike (Canyon Grail CF SL) a lot less and have been doing weekly 85-112 mile rides on my QuiekKat Ibex with 1000 watt mid-drive and run around the neighborhood on my Avento Aventure. Your channel is truly very informative and entertaining. Keep up the great work!

[@HaleyEthengain]

I love how knowledgeable he is about e-bikes he really knows a lot about everything What a great wonderful show. Always stay safe.

[@NCnutmeg]

Long-time listener, first-time commenter. LOVE your reviews. Fantastic production. Thorough reviews taking the bikes through a standard, qualitative and quantitative paces. Cause I am concerned that the PLA of the PRC wants a war with our US Navy etal, I want an electric bike that meets my niche desires AND has only inexpensive parts manufactured in China or by Chinese manufacturers. Yes, I realize that this is not easy. Lastly, as I am a Midwesterner and polyglot, your videos are excellent sources for folks wanting to learn American English. Your announciation and limited use of slang is ideal. While your videos do have a transcript, you got room for improvement by using closed captioning but only if 100% accurate to your speech.

[@HaleyEthengain]

I am a huge fan of this channel I love it.

[@The_Mustang_Den]

Same.

[@GixrGuy]

Peace be with you! Merry Christmas! Thank you for a year of entertaining PEV reviews!

[@FedID-NotSure]

Hey Matt, I recently found your channel while researching e-bikes, and I just have to say how much I appreciate the depth of information you provide. The fact that you’re based in L.A. makes your reviews even more valuable since I live in Mid-City myself and it gives me a realistic idea of how the bikes I’m considering would perform here. I’m currently looking to get a moped-style e-bike, and your videos have been incredibly helpful. I’m a bigger guy-6’3” and about 375 lbs-and I’ve been struggling to find a bike that will work for me. The ones I’m considering are the Motor Goat, the Meelod DK300Max, the Roll Road Emma 3.0, and the Qiolor Tiger Plus. The first two are great, but the Motor Goat feels a bit too pricey, and the DK300Max seems like it might be a tight fit for my height. I’m leaning heavily toward the Emma or the Tiger Plus especially the Tiger, but while there are plenty of reviews for the Emma, there’s almost nothing on the Tiger Plus. If you’ve ever tested the Tiger Plus or could give me your take on the latter two of the four options, it’d mean a lot. I’m looking for something reliable that can handle my size comfortably without sacrificing performance. Thanks again for all the great work you do-your videos have been a huge help in my search!

[@blown9646]

Not bad, decent company for sure. I purchased some vanpowers handlebars couple months ago for our Tesway Walker. Great job, Matt

[@chshrkt]

Thanks for your realistic and informative reviews.

[@brianjarvis2823]

This channel makes my day..i also like the gta 5 scenery

[@johnw65]

Larger diameter brake rotors are needed for 26" wheels. Smaller diameter rotors are fine for 20" wheels...

[@jaybones614]

That stem harness is dope

[@Trebbor1958]

$1800 bux but its on sale? dude... THAT IS NOT AFFORDABLE.....

[@jeromewaites5364]

Wow, all these little unique features on this bike I’ve never seen before

[@franciscosalazar2031]

Would to see you do a review on the javelin from spark cycle works and the vexcite mkr1

[@ramborambokitchenkitchen6357]

i just got a keteles k800, very very similar to the philodo h8 you reviewed. just with a slightly larger battery. the dual motors is real fun. it nearly throws you off the bike if you accelerate from a stop and arent prepared for the power.

[@Larberm]

Another great video review. What is the model # of phone mount that you used in this video? It looks pretty solid. Do you like it? Thanks

[@Bustadhed]

Like the 9 speed , love rack & tailight intergration ❤

[@porfiriacalderon4014]

A two by is better just lower the crank derailer and adjust to a two shifter plus you can't see the low gear.

[@codwawWolfMan]

Love the back lights.

[@hippynurd]

There is a substance called coke that is simiar to coal, I would guess thats what the color is named after, not the beverage.

[@Baguette12315]

Hey can you check out the Akez 52V Jaguar? Looks quite similar to the ghostcat and im wondering how it performs in comarison. Im pretty sure it has lower current output but I think thats fine considering how much cheaper it is...

[@checkthisout09]

I've heard of coke white before - first time I'm hearing coke black 😂

[@barnyard9058]

I mean it's not bad but if you're going to use affordable I'd really love to see you check out a couple of the $800 ones

[@rvboondocker2559]

I like the turn signals

[@Владвлад-р6х]

what was under the lid?

[@karlfonner7589]

Most likely the controller

[@JerryOduor]

Can you please do a review of the "Laifook Thunder" for us

[@Kylehannan9]

You should review the ridstar q20

[@sativagirl1885]

How far can you go, with a five hour lunch-recharging break?

[@TailHappyTV]

A five hour recharge will probably give you close to full charge, so 70-90 miles total on two charges if you are using the throttle liberally, perhaps more if you pedal lots

[@markoleson-g8f]

I need to know what that top door and speaker cover on the top tube are.

[@Bustadhed]

Love the total look of the bike but I only have 1 con and that's along with the excellent cable mgt. you won't be able to adjust the height of the handlebars . Myself, with my back problems , I have to modify 99% of every Ebike I own to a higher handlebar position. This bike would most definately make it way too $$$$$ & dificult to accomplish that.

[@baddriversofcolga]

I'd love to see CUES become a lot more common on these value e-bikes. Altus works, but it's not exactly the nicest feeling.

[@alonzomartii]

Seems to handle much better hills than the Romeo Pro.

[@karlfonner7589]

That little box on the top tube, could it be the controller?

[@iandavis5189]

Good call, and the little 'speaker cover' a grill to let cool air get to it perhaps? 👌🏻

[@chm985]

I don't understand the affordable part. I'd say that's expensive, especially when it's usd. But I'm cheap, I like buying returned broken ones. You can usually get them for less than half and usually costs less than 200 to fix them. Other than that I enjoyed the review.

[@ShadowPupGaming]

Looking for a bike with a 52v 20ah + battery, torque sensor, 1300w+ peak power

[@garyderoy]

It looks pretty and I really enjoy all your reviews, BUT, at $1499 I'd have to say the Ariel Rider Kepler is a much better deal. It has the same brakes, nice color display, adjustable handlebar height, 52V 20ah battery, and I've hit 41.8 mph on a flat with mine. It has a cadence sensor, but I like that. I know the Kepler has been around for 2 or 3 years and is somewhat forgotten now, but it still keeps up with most of the newer eBike models. 😉

[@eagle94haslanded]

Deep sand?

[@GamingAdventureWithAtif]

MASHALLAH❤❤❤FIRST

[@ElectricScooterMan]

You should try the LAIFOOK Thunder Gold. You would love it because it’s 45mph and 50ah battery.

[@TailHappyTV]

Ok, I’ll publish a review on it in exactly 1 week 🤙⚡️

[@Mercstar]

That bike looks pretty badass.

[@karlfonner7589]

A well-made bike

[@tonyn3227]

To me affordable high quality e bike around $800. Anything else overpriced

[@markj6984]

that is actually a superier motor for the price. wow.with a better controller you could likely get it to 55km an hour

[@DSpaceNine]

I was just about to order an XPeak 2.0 but this gives me pause. Hmm.

[@arthurquinn7515]

Dont like the small display screen

[@eagle94haslanded]

most single motor bikes dont make it up the parking ramp hill.

[@gorkemsar5936]

only for usa uk even china but not eu . thats sad...

[@billy3650]

Sorry to break it to you, but there are better deals out there and that bike definitely isn't worth it.

[@The_Mustang_Den]

Going to be less quality components. Those Tektro 4-piston brakes and Shimano Cues LinkGlide are some high level components for a bike of this price point. Could make the bike cheaper with less reliable components … been there and done that. I ended up spending more money to upgrade. I ride an average of 300 miles per week and run through cheap components fairly quick.

[@RoadToTheCup]

One con no turn signals.

[@heeeeeresrossy]

Did he mention he weighed 200 pounds 🤔😜

[@joehiatt1992]

people are wanting bigger motors & batteries,15ah is not good,I bought a freesky alaska & just bought( last night) a wallke h7 which u tested,1650 & 1500 respectively

[@PAX-GT2]

48V 14.7Ah😂

[@TailHappyTV]

Pros and cons to battery size, smaller battery gives a more nimble ride, if long range and high speed is the goal larger is better, but if you want nimble a smaller battery is better

[@PAX-GT2]

😂 So it looks like you're paying an extra grand for name brand brakes and fancy brake lights... nope. Low power, small battery and sad display. With that said, I do appreciate your reviews, they helped me decide on a much better bike, for considerably less $.

[@earlscribner2356]

Frame looks weak

[@TailHappyTV]

It felt solid to me

[@earlscribner2356]

@TailHappyTV maybe looked kinda thin on center for that weight limit 400 pounds being a trail bike am not to seeing the middle part of frame holding up with leaps and rough riding

[@karoslif9818]

Gonna have to give a hard pass on this one, maybe 15 years ago it might excite, maybe, but as Kamala said before she lost, "We're not going back....We're not going back" lol

[@gonetoheck]

top speed 20 mph....🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 nope. Ain't gonna get bit by some dog off leash that's faster than this expensive gadget.
