YikeBike Model V Video Review

[@TheLillianYoung]

I tried this before they came out with the rear wheels. I was too short for it. Now I'm glad I opted out. But I'm happy that this company is continuing to produce great products.

[@eskileriksson4457]

Nice review, cool product. Saw your earlier video on it, happy to hear more about it. Btw., every tire shop that service heavy trucks (or any double mounted wheels) have valve stem adapters to sell.

[@ElectricRideReview]

+Eskil Eriksson Oh, that's great! Yeah, Sam was talking about being careful not to lose it and I figured it was pretty rare. Thanks for the tip about replacement Eskil ;)

I think the Yikebike is cool and definitely unique, however for me it is just an expensive toy with not a lot of practical uses. I would sooner spend $5K on a good electric bicycle. I think Yike is the sound you make when you hear the price.

[@AnGhaeilge]

It looks cool, but for that price - it's really just an expensive toy. Better off getting an electric bicycle or scooter. More range, more practical and better value for money.

[@in2food]

5K is a lot of six mile cab rides

[@holyshit2709]

in2food yea, it’s ridiculous.

[@ebuff57]

They need to reengineer this

[@fredrik999z]

Hmm, cool? At this price, range and speed are too low for being worth it. This is not a serious solution to an existing problem, it's just a fun toy. Thanks for a good review!

[@hardset-vi3ze]

Cool but you better have some body armor in addition to your head gear. You're right out there and any collision scenario. Better have good liability insurance cause too many people take too many risks. That whining alone would make me sick of it soon. For those prices i would assume the thing would be quiet and smooth as silk. Good luck but i'm out.

7-10 miles is ridiculous and totally useless when it takes 1.5-2 hrs to recharge. The new stuff has to be hitting 20 miles min to be of any use / value.

[@clarkguo7247]

+Paul Carter It can go 20kms which is 12.5 miles within one full charge. Big battery, big weight, that is the technology. It is using the same battery cell as Tesla's. 20 kms is a long way for bikes, also it can be charged in very short time.

[@ElectricRideReview]

+Paul Carter I'd like to see that kind of performance as well but most people only need a few miles to/from their office when public transportation is also a part of the equation. Keeping it light and more "affordable" was probably the major focus... even though it is still so expensive due to the custom design ;)

[@paulvcarter]

Ecco Recco M5 does 8-10 miles and costs $1300. I had one and loved it but I really need 15-20 miles. I ordered a ZBoard pearl a yr ago which should do the job.

[@ElectricRideReview]

+Paul Carter Cool, that's the one with the pressure sensitive pads on top?!

[@paulvcarter]

yes

[@lucaslucas8647]

In the netherlands we use that Asia one wtf

[@fazer12779]

It's cool, but it's over priced & noisy compared to a 'Ninebot One' electric unicycle.

[@ElectricRideReview]

+DanieI Joseph Yeah, I'm hoping to check that thing out one of these days. Ninebot has a whole line of self balancing stuff and it sounds like they own Segway now? Have you tried the Ninebot One?

[@fazer12779]

+ElectricRideReview.com I have one. Been riding for two years now. I've had airwheel - ninebot - electric skateboard - mini moto - go ped etc

[@ElectricRideReview]

+DanieI Joseph Which one do you ride most? Do you have a favorite or one that you'd recommend as being the most useful?

[@fazer12779]

+ElectricRideReview.com I'd say a 'citybug 2' electric scooter or evolve electric skateboard are the best options for most people as they are easy to ride as most people are familiar with these modes of transport. I like the fun & compactness of an electric unicycle 'Ninebot One P' as it can fit in my gym locker/boot of my car easily, plus tackle off roading & tricks one you've learnt to ride it. :) fazer12779 if you want to check my basic videos out.

[@TheLillianYoung]

I get my CityBug2S tomorrow! I have a Segway i2, and am getting the Ninebot Segway Mini Pro next month.

6 miles $5,000 that's pretty expensive you can get if you can get a new three-wheel Elio car that's coming out and get 85 miles to the gallon and not have to plug it in nobody makes it through mixed up that rear wheel on that thing electrified our talk in a total different car

[@ElectricRideReview]

+James Ledesma The Elio looks awesome! I love the concept and am excited to see more and more affordable transport. The Yikebike is a bit odd in what it offers and how it looks... it's a niche product but it's also kind of wonderful in a way that it exists at all :)

[@kamalakrsna]

"YIKE" !!! what u say when u hear the price 4 that BIKE. thats why "YikeBike" this is 4 rich kids.

[@yell50]

Sorry that is just too much money 1,500 is OK but not 5,000 that is just stupid i would rather spend 5,000 on something more substantial.

[@muhirwaaimable4024]

Its awesome but expensive...

[@carlhewitt1395]

It's also illegal in Europe because it has no brakes....

[@BitcoinAndChess]

Watch the video. He said it has regenerative brakes.

[@ablosport312]

You pay this kind of money for this baby toy......

[@garylazo5289]

I think you spend to much time on these e bikes that cost way to much for any sane person to own I thought the whole idea of owning an e bike was to have a cheap way to get around .Your not one of us normal people Im not going to watch your vids anymore
