The Async L5 is a unique looking fat tire electric bike with a smooth torque sensor and a huge display that's nicer than what you see on some motorcycles. The 52v power train and the fully encased battery are two more features that stand out on this bike aside from its appearance. Watch this Async L5 review to learn everything you need to know about this ebike before you buy it online sight unseen.

To be clear, the battery can be removed, it just doesn't pop out with ease like most ebikes I review bit.ly/async-L5 - Click here to get $50 off (you can also see how the battery comes out here)

[@Byakko_J3S]

can you review urban runner e 14, i saw it on Walmart it look super good

[@GenX80sKid]

I agree with 100% on the don't make apps for ebikes.

[@rayjay8322]

That's an interesting one. The no rear suspension is a killer for me though .

[@mikec4308]

suspension seat posts exist

[@animejanai4657]

Some of the other bikes reviewed here have sold seat post suspensions as extras you can buy at their company sites around $120

[@rayjay8322]

@@animejanai4657 I just really don't care for them. Maybe that would be a good review for him to do is suspension seats. It'd be real good for this old guy since he's the same weight and height as me. Along with the quality of his reviews, I especially like it since we're in the same size and weight. Makes it really accurate for me! I'm looking for something that I can easily do 40 mile round trip and tow a tiny trailer. I would use it to go to a nice fishing spot at a lake. I need something as comfortable as possible with the damage I have in my spine.

[@BhengMibudy]

@@rayjay8322Ah, you are not needing front or rear suspension, what you need is mid suspension. It is usually only offered on the Indonesian e-bikes, so good luck finding them. But just know they sell them in the tunnels of Indonesia hidden from government. 52 v 60ah madness

[@denislitisha7136]

Rear suspension on most of those bikes are garbage. They have nylon bushings, not bearing pivots and will creak like crazy in no time.

Looks cool but no removeable battery is tough.

[@animejanai4657]

The only battery for sale at the company website is for the A1 which does allow replaceable battery packs $700. There is no replaceable A3 battery pack.

[@TailHappyTV]

To be clear, the battery can be removed, it just doesn't pop out with ease like most ebikes I review

[@chinatsudori]

The charger not charging is one of the big issues I've noticed on my L5 too. I'm also impressed the app worked with you at all. The screen brightness actually lowers itself automatically when you have the lights on, likely to reduce glare if you're riding at night. I do find the bike has power when you need it. I regularly attach a trailer for groceries or for taking my dogs out with me, and the bike powers through like it's not even there and doesn't disappoint.

[@alansantos9023]

I'm looking to buy one e bike and i really like the style of the L5, can you tell me more about your experience? Pros, other issues?

[@chinatsudori]

@alansantos9023 the thing is, I really want to recommend this bike. It's so fun to ride and looks fantastic. Async support is totally nonrespinsive, and I've had many issues with cheaply used parts within the first month (teeth breaking off of the cassette, rear brake failing, electronic issues with the speedometer dropping out, charger issues.)this bike isn't exactly easy to work on either, and I'm afraid to mess with any of the electricals at the chance of voiding any part of the warranty that support should wholly be honoring. I wouldn't recommend this bike just on my experience

[@iblackfeathers]

nice bike. can improve with a much brighter display and top speed. advanced display & features like locking the bike should be on more of these bikes.

[@plutobars7700]

The app has those features, GPS locking bike from turning on and making screen brighter.

[@graphguy]

Sweet! I just came back from Italy and did an 'e-bike' tour of the Florence hills. I was surprised/shocked to see that e-bikes in the EU can't have a throttle, they only work if peddling. Any e-bike like in America is designated just like a motorcycle and has to follow motorcycle laws.

[@mst3kpimp]

note to self... don't move to italy.

[@BmanNL1]

Why would you want to have a throttle on your electric bicycle? That's the most stupid addition to a bicycle. Is there a simple device to help Americans with obesity. And what do they do? They put a throttle on the bike 😂

[@graphguy]

@@BmanNL1 Let me guess, you are 12? Don't be an ass.

[@BmanNL1]

@graphguy No, it's about exercising. Doing something and being active on your bicycle instead of a throttle. It ruins the whole concept of a bicycle.

[@sunsetpalms1923]

Max speed on an ebike is 15mph in Europe

[@Emtbtoday]

I couldn't live without my Bosch flow app so much in there for adjusting the power outputs low amdnhigh torque at taken off speeds or top end and the quick change from about 10 different ride modes at touch of a switch GPS, tracking locking and if you have an autoshift device connected like shimanos app you need that for adjusting the autoshift settings makes all the difference not needing to manually change gears!

[@jonathan4831]

Glad you're 6'5". I'm 6'8" and it can be difficult to shop for bikes.

[@russwoodward8251]

Wow. Cool bike. This is an excellent review. Thanks Matt.

Your video's are always entertaining 😀 i cruise through your hometown almost everyday on my Ecells Monarch. I leave from Chesterton on the Duneland Trail. I haven't seen any tents in the old town yet 😂😂 Keep up the good reviews Matt👍

I think he had a speedo on, but there was another guy taking a picture of his junk with his phone.

[@jasondelarosa5457]

Never been a fan of fat tire bikes but, they would be great for hunting, snow, sand riding. If your not religious about cleaning the drivetrain however, I wouldn't want to ride it in rough conditions unless it was belt drive.

[@tylerowens7974]

Any chance on doing a review on a eb-02 from osoeri. Please and thank you.

I almost fell off the bed laughing when you said "that guy has a sword"😂

[@LexyTheEbikeQueen]

It’s so beautiful just to slow is there a way to unlock it ?

[@animejanai4657]

Those nine gears look very thin. It's that feeling that they were stamped out of a piece of sheet metal and will round off if I pedal the bicycle for 75 miles without ever using the electric motor.

[@noyes-v5b]

Also noticed. You have an accurate assessment and keen eye.

[@Emtbtoday]

Nice looking frame change the breaks and forks to RS or Fox it'll be a nice bike think that's onenthe first I've liked for a Hub drive ebike there all ugly and not thought out in the way of design but this looks nice!

[@mikehunt1528]

No way this only goes max 28 mph lol

[@Whoadayson]

I get why some folks want to stay legal as were probably gonna get hit with new laws regarding these 40mph bikes soon? Or are we already illegal?

[@pill5384]

​@Whoadayson its already illegal but most don't care as long as its not on a sidewalk, has peddles, and doesn't look like a dirtbike

[@LarrysViews]

Your video's are always entertaining 😁 I cruise through your hometown almost everyday on my Ecells Monarch. I leave from valparaiso & catch the duneland Prairie trail. Haven't seen any tents in the old town😂 Keep up the good reviews 👍

[@GBuds_RVremodel]

In various states they class ebikes in several classes. Those are divided at top speed levels. I don't know about your location, but where I am this falls under the level that requres a license tag and an "m" designation on DL

[@cynic256]

I have kept an eye on async since you reviewed their mid drive mtb. I am not a huge fan of fat tire ebikes - it's unnecessary imo. I hope they make a standard 500w 2.2inch tire ebike. However no ability to quickly swap batteries is a hard no from me

[@BustaCrusher]

A lot of parts seem identical to my cryusher ranger, I wonder if I could swap the display with this one

Matt, I was going to tell you, but you already figured out about the battery. I enjoy up your reviews and was thinking out the L3., and reviewing the bike.. I really enjoy step throughs, I have been on the L7 and I really enjoyed. $3999 puts them smack in where a lot of Mid Drives all seems to be priced , They do make pretty decent bikes. Since there are now are so many ( Resellers) of cheap bikes it’s getting reality crowded) and folks are really getting confused and a lot are getting stung by resellers that only care about the all mighty dollar ,and no form of service and zero support. I can’t tell you how many folks I have helped over my 20 plus years having e-bikes in helping them set them up , but when they break them. Now we are just telling folks to slow down , think , and watch the video we did on Cadence vs torque sensor bikes. I hate cheap cadence bikes, and so many people go out and see a pretty bike and buy the first one that peeks there fancy. We tell them No and here’s the difference. Thanks for making me chuckle with your reviews. Oh and I did the same thing you did when you bumped the peddle on the 5 star., and launched the bikeAll I did was break the LCD., and make me dislike cadence bikes even more. There’s a definite place for cadence bikes, It’s just too bad that they put them on so many really cheap bikes. I have seen in my 20 years of having e-bikes, every person who’s gotten hurt it’s been on a cadence bikes.. Keep the reviews coming. ( Dude) Ron Instant Power 322

Yo Matt. Which speedometer app do you use?

[@TailHappyTV]

“speedometer” in App Store

[@JasonJenkins-fp2vx]

Battery sucks, deal breaker. Make it too hard to change out batteries.

[@alohathaxted]

And yet, if you go to their web site it shows the battery being removed.

[@jfly2249]

Get a dual battery Wired bike for only $1999 with 60v 3200 watt and 2100 wh capacity. Makes Astink look like a toy.

[@chrissinclair8705]

Yeah I agree there are some devices that don't need an app. An ebike is one of them. In fact I feel like I'm getting "Apped out" what's next an app for the toaster? An app for the toilet? Lol.

[@travisr8292]

So the L5 or the five star? Let me know plz I'm ready to upgrade! I will use your code for sure.

Five star is my favorite
