Two Great 750watt eBikes!!

[@georgefelegy8607]

I got the Biktrix 1000 watt mid drive duo step-thru because of your recommendation. It's an awesome bike. Love it. Thank you.

[@southernebiking]

The biketric looks very interesting. I’d like the options for range and tire size. Good job on the overview.

[@trekfortruth2841]

Love my Aventure 2...bought the same version as yours six weeks ago thanks in part to your review and a great local dealer.

[@Campfussell]

Nice, if I ever feel the need to move from the moped style to the bicycle style, I'll definitely keep these two in mind.

[@MickeyMouse-vn8vl]

Great job, I learned something today. I thought we would of heard you speak of the Wired Freedom bike you spoke highly of the bike. Keep up the good work

[@hobieone9833]

Great informational video. I replaced the tires on my Aventon Aventure with Origin8 Supercell 26 x 4 tires. A huge difference in rolling resistance. Popular upgrade.

[@CitizenCycle925]

I dont mind the Innova tires on Aventon, they are not as loud as others, but certainly not as smooth or as quiet as your Origin8s :)

[@davidlorin1379]

I put on CST Big Boats. I was going to get a set of VEETIRE Chicanes, but they were double the price & the CST's achieved same result.

[@jimmyjames8736]

Great video! You covered the highlights of two great bikes perfectly. Each bike is a worthy recommendation for the exact reasons you stated.

[@billtrim50]

I will always been a heavy rider 260+...6'2". Long legged ... So it's funny to me to see people trying to sit on the seat with their feet flat on the ground I've never been able to ride that way.... I have the seat way up... If my feet flat on the ground the Horn of the seat we'll be hitting about my tailbone.... I have to be able to put all my weight on the pedals... You can't do that with your knees up around your ears 😆

[@8_x_9.]

The standard way is only your tip toes touching the ground for most powerful & easy healing.😊

[@Xtrafix2015]

Very cool demo, and to be honest I still don’t like the aventon like I used to,and already upgraded my himiway cruiser even if it’s not as good as the biketric juggernaut I still feel like a superhero riding my fatbike😅. thanks for posting the videos they are inspiring ❤

[@nukeelec]

Great review. I think manufacturers should start offering dropper seat posts on these huge e-bikes. I can see why someone would want to flat-foot a bike so heavy, but that results in a horrible seat position for pedaling. A dropper seat post would solve that. I'm surprised I haven't seen any e-bike reviews using them.

[@frankd3460]

Great content as always. Would like to see you do a review on the Freesky Himalaya. Lots of bike for the money in my opinion.

[@jamesbonham5383]

Really good informative video, thank you.

[@CitizenCycle925]

thank you!

[@rayrussell6258]

I recently got the Aventon Aventure II, based on info I got from one of your earlier videos, so I definitely agree it's at the top of the heap. This is my first e-bike, and I'm loving it. People I show it to are all impressed by the quality of material and construction. I purchased the Large frame version, since I'm 6'5", and it feels perfect. I do agree the standard seat is a bit stiff, but that's my only complaint. I've upgraded to Class 3, and confirm your top speed. I'd been comparing Giant and Trek, because they had local shops for me, but I found another shop 2-hours away handling the Aventon bikes, and that sealed the deal ... having service availability was key. Giant and Trek were too expensive.

[@CitizenCycle925]

awesome, i'm glad it has worked out for you. it really is impressive bike in person compared to some others at the same price point. Most of the bike shop, name brand bikes are way too expensive but i guess you have the service aspect to consider.

[@Top5ebikes]

The Aventon Aventure.2 is a great fat tire ebike. The other one we really like right now is the Juiced Bikes Rip Current S...I wonder when Juiced is going to release an updated version of the RCS

[@CitizenCycle925]

i've never tried or even seen a Juiced bike, and people regularly ask me about them. maybe someday...

[@customdrums]

Planning to get one of these and I’m having a hard time deciding. I am in Canada so I do like the idea of a Canadian company.

[@jfly2249]

The 15 AH battery on the Aventon is really small for the price they are asking. Also, lots of reports of pedal strikes with the Aventure so be careful where your pedals are when turning.

[@kevinnashskitchen3517]

Both cool.. I would like a dual hub motor to try from biketrix

[@FreakyT333]

Man I wish I had known more about that juggernaut before I had purchased my Magicycle Cruiser. I wanted 52v+ and at the time stay with a legal 750w. The higher amp controller was not a priority and it should be. I do wonder (I ordered a Wired Cruiser because of this) if the top speed can be increased on the Juggernaut without major mods? Even the 28mph on my Magicycle got old real quick.

[@georgemorissette8856]

What do you consider a very good quality bike’s similar to these , preferably 3” tires . Maybe 2-4k vs all the $1500 - $2000 bikes. Thx !

[@superx454]

I see these e-bike motors have a planetary gear system do these need to be greased frequently?

[@jessebutler841]

Nice reviews as always. I just ordered my first e-bike, I was considering Aventon, but I decided to go with the wired cruiser. After watching multiple reviews on both, I really didn't think I could go wrong either way. Thanks for sharing your opinion. It definitely helps many.

[@CitizenCycle925]

Wired is a great bike, good choice, would have included here but i was sticking to 750w ebikes.

[@Barkenranch]

Hey Bryan, nice presentation! But I have to disagree with you 😂. I think that the Bee Cool Adventure is the best option for a lot of folks. Comes with a 21 amp battery, dual suspension, fenders, back rack, turn signals, head light, horn, etc. and a 2 year warranty. I love mine and even like it more than my Arial Rider Grizzly which cost twice as much. BTW, right now BC is offering a free extra battery with any bike.

[@CitizenCycle925]

Fair enough! everyone has their preferences. i would still take the Grizzly over Bee Cool. i think it worth the higher $$ all day long

[@Barkenranch]

@@CitizenCycle925 yep, I like my Grizzly for the power and speed! I bought a custom seat from JB Seats that makes the ride more comfortable but pricey! The Adventure is more fun if you like to peddle.

[@davidlorin1379]

Can you post a link to the throttle for the Aventon? I also hate the thumb throttle and the fact that there's only room for it on the left side. Also, unfortunately the top speed of 33 mph is no longer true; Aventon updated the app and they lowered the max pedal assist speed to only 28mph, so don't connect the app to your bike again, it will update the bikes firmware and hobble it. Delete that app.

[@CitizenCycle925]

in my Aventon App i could only set my speed to 28mph, but i found that the bike will actually keep assisting me to about 32mph before cutting out. i bought the throttle from Luna Cycle but they are always out of stock, you can find them on eBay, or here is another link i just found www.electrifybike.com/products/throttles?variant=43086564032761

[@CitizenCycle925]

Correction, i just looked at it and my app will allow me to go to 51kph (31.6mph) was not aware they lowered this :( that's a bummer, i dont like showing things customers cant have.

[@Gary-1091]

I've been watching a lot of videos lately of yours on ebikes. I was looking at the Aventon Adventure 2 but also saw your videos on the Wired bikes. Do you have a comparison of those two and how is the Aventon with climbing hills? I noticed that was said about the biketric but not Aventon.

[@CitizenCycle925]

i dont have a comparison of Wired and Aventon. Pretty different bikes. Wired is a powerful beast in comparison to Aventon, but Aventon has sleeker styling and probably better fit & finish. Aventon climbs hills okay, its pretty standard 750w power delivery, peaks just over 1100w i think..

[@Gary-1091]

@CitizenCycle925 Thank you for the information. I did see the Aventon Adventure.2 hasld 1130w. I've been leaning to Aventon given they seem to be one of the top brands but I like the power of the Wired but just unsure on the company.

[@jasonwblangley9956]

Hey brother I got a question for ya!!! I live In Canada and by law we can only have a 500 moter. "Can an adventure aventon 2 give me enough power to get up steep hills with a 500 rear hub motor"? Thx bro and great vids.

[@CitizenCycle925]

i guess it depends how heavy you are & how steep the hill is... i have not tried a 500w aventon before.

[@flat_life750]

Did you ever review the FuCare bikes?

[@CitizenCycle925]

nope, never had one of those, they look cool though

[@backtocapalot5097]

What do you suspect will happen to the ebike market in 2024 comparatively to now?

[@Joerides7]

I'd like to try the Biktrix with dual batteries, mid-drive and 27.5 x 3" wheels/tires.

[@garygrinham5243]

It's frustrating to me that they sent you a bike with 3 inch tires, because I've been trying to purchase one from Biktrix for over a year, but the tire size and frame color combination I wanted is always out of stock. Clicking on the above link shows the 3 inch tires aren't currently available in any color. After patiently waiting for several months, I finally gave up and ordered the Wired Cruiser (unfortunately with 4 inch tires) which is scheduled to be delivered later this month. I like that Biktrix has many options, but in reality, I found the availability of the options is not as advertised.

[@CitizenCycle925]

Hi Gary, the bike they sent me was a used demo bike from their showroom floor, sorry to hear that you couldnt get your hands on one when you needed it. but you could always switch to skinnier tires on your Wired bike... 3.5in would definitely fit, maybe even 3.0

[@garygrinham5243]

@@CitizenCycle925 thanks very much, I was wondering whether the stock rims would accommodate a narrower tire, so I will definitely look into it. Thanks for the great reviews you do. You were single-handedly responsible for my purchase.

[@michaelbedard7859]

Great facts

[@CitizenCycle925]

Glad you agree :)

[@jasonwblangley9956]

Sorry brother, i do have another question 😂 "Did you install the twist throttle yourself or did you get it serve to install it"?

[@CitizenCycle925]

installed myself, most of the time you can just unplug the thumb throttle and plug in the twist, the Biktrix was plug and play, the Aventon i had to do some soldering since the plugs didnt match

[@bassw1758]

How are those RST Forks? I've heard different things. I've heard for FWD or AWD they are the only way to be. I've also heard they only have 75mm of travel and don't do well on tough terrain (rocks, roots, jumps) anybody have experience with those forks?

[@CitizenCycle925]

I like the RST forks, never had a problem with them and yes i use them on AWD builds. But for performance on tough terrain and jumps, that is something i dont really do so i can't comment there.

[@rookie90210]

So Aventon is faster. Biktrix is more powerful but a bit slower (3 mph slower). Biktrix comes with a bigger battery in frame, and it also has the option for dual battery up to 34 amps. Also the batteries which are 52 volt as opposed to the Aventon 48 volt single battery. Just wish the Biktrix could get to 28 mph.

[@jtnoodle]

I ditched the 4" knobbies for 3" Vee Tire smoothies. Much more pleasure able to ride. They take 30 psi, which equals less resistance. I can still go off-road, nothing serious.

[@CitizenCycle925]

yes the smooth tires do eliminate all of the noise and make it a nicer ride. did you notice it was any more nimble in the turns with the skinnier tire?

[@nicholasq7376]

Do this this company have dual-motor

[@robertpollock8617]

How is biktrix repair process?

[@CitizenCycle925]

I have not had to utilize any customer service from them so i dont have any info here. sorry.

[@sammyjames1929]

HOVSCO™ HovAlpha 26" Step-Thru Fat Ebike @ $1,599 over the Aventon.. And the Wired Cruiser over the biketric

[@CitizenCycle925]

i am looking into Hovsco and i didn't include Wired because it is not 750w, but yes, its a great buy!

[@andrewdishman26]

Unless your 6'2" + you don't need the large size frame. I'm 6" and I feel the large frame is too big . They claim I'm in the size range for the large frame so I got it and it's very big. I basically have my seat squated and I'm still not flat footed. They seriously should have one size and longer seat height range or atleast claim larger frame built for very tall people instead they claim large frame is good for anyone 5'6" and up. No way.

[@rayrussell6258]

Larger frame improves ride and handling; I would go for that, even if I was 6 foot. It's not that hard to step on the pedal and raise yourself up to the seat when starting out.

[@simonevans2427]

Once again,I'll have a little cry that I'm in the uk😢😢( ill take that back,they are available in uk😄😄) ill edit for a 2nd time.....£402 delivery charge to uk plus I'd probably have to pay 20% vat too so about £800 on top....er,no!😢

[@jasonmax5759]

You need a Sur-Ron

[@CitizenCycle925]

i think Sur Ronster has that one covered :)

[@johnwalker1070]

i bought the Aventon 2. Not that great a bike. Seat is hard. Grips hurts after long rides. Metal wheel guards makes noises when going over gravel. Only goes fast when pedaling. We returned it that week. Himiway is much better.

[@LetsGoJensWay]

Aventon was my first ebike. I returned it the same day!

[@CitizenCycle925]

yes, i changed out that seat, it was pretty thin, but the grips i love, and you are right about the fenders being louder. thats the trade off with metal, they look way nicer but they are noisier. himiway makes some solid bikes too, thanks for the comment!

[@The_Privateer]

This video makes me feel like going out buying a brand new used car. Only 1 owner I promise, and she was a grandmother who never took it out of the garage...

[@karljuwde3877]

I'd put the Himiway Zebra ahead of these two

[@ChristmasEve777]

74 pounds isn't light for a fat tire e-bike. It's ever so slightly above average for a fat tire bike.

[@CitizenCycle925]

i would say 74lb is towards the lower end, most i get are 75to 90lbs. plus this bike has 2 battery packs on it!!!

[@ChristmasEve777]

@@CitizenCycle925 I am not sure why I posted that. You have so many fat tire bikes in your garage so who am I to say what the average is. My average is only based on 6 bikes. By the way, that includes my Wired Freedom (76 pounds). Finally got it on Friday and I've been riding the heck out of that. I think I posted about it on one your Wired Freedom videos. I LOVE IT!! Now that I'm used to that power, I can't go back to anything else. Still not a CitizenCycle though haha.
