I just found your channel and the production value is wild to me considering you post so often and seem to be a one man show!

[@scotthardesty]

Thank you. Yeah, it's just me. I have a backlog of bikes I need to review since it has been raining a ton the past couple of months, so I am on my grind getting it done.

[@reilandeubank]

@@scotthardesty great to hear! I also think it’s awesome hearing you talk about the Chicago skyline because I agree it’s a beautiful city. Keep it up 👍🏻

Ive had mine for a year now and love it. I just wish dual motor had more top speed. I get around 27/28 mph on single rear motor and only get an extra 5mph on dual motors. I only use dual motors to get up 1 big hill after work but it does eat into the battery

[@scotthardesty]

Some people keep theirs in dual motor mode which I think would cut the distance in half.

[@castareablast]

I switched my seat to an aftermarket amazon one. Not only did i not like it but it also split all the way around the back and i had to tape it up

[@scotthardesty]

oh wow. Luckily, seats are an easy thing to switch out.

I'd say it's a good buy for someone wanting AWD. I have an Ecells AWD and they recommend running AWD all the time on the road for motor efficiency. Front wheel drive only can be dangerous making a turn from a stop. The torque on mine is just crazy. Good review. Try AWD more and you'll probably get better mileage.

[@scotthardesty]

Interesting... I thought it got great mileage for just having one battery.

Did you check out the customer service number.

[@scotthardesty]

@@DM-fp8uw No. I talk to them directly and not the customer service peeps.

I was thinking about getting the RV700

[@scotthardesty]

I just looked it up. Seems like the same bike, minus the front motor. Go for it!

[@ats-3693]

RV700 has front and rear suspension, MG740 only has front. I'm also about to buy one or the other but still thinking

[@scotthardesty]

Where would you put it?

[@castareablast]

I've had mine for a year and have recently been thinking about adding a water bottle style battery to the frame bar

[@maryl.7226]

Scott- yer havin’ too much fun to be making money doing this.

[@scotthardesty]

Shhhhhh... don't jinx it. hahaha

[@drrhino4938]

45 NM for a 1000/1200W motor is pretty weak. That doesn't seem right. Unless it's a single 25A controller that just splits the power to 2 motors so that it's 1000/1200 to one motor or 500/600 when both are active. It's just not adding up to me. Based on your testing 45 NM seems off, looks stronger than that

[@scotthardesty]

It doesn't seem right and I agree. When they said it had 90Nm of torque, I specifically asked them it that was each hub or when it is in AWD. They said AWD. To me, I think they are 90Nm of torque each. That 90Nm of Torque would not have made it up that 2nd hill. Also, both motors create 2400w max, so I know the info they gave me was wrong, but I can only put down what they say when it comes to the specs... but I believe they are 90Nm each.

[@drrhino4938]

@@scotthardesty Oh I get it, and glad we agree. The power results, especially that hill, just don't line up to me, but I get you are just relaying what they said. Love your videos, keep up the good work

[@jimmyallen9927]

Its got 2 controllers one for each motor but i find it struggles up steepish hills on one motor only

[@robertkorn]

Haul a deer LOL. Spoken like someone that has never dragged a deer before.

[@scotthardesty]

You are correct.
