Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is a product that lives up to the promises on the "Buy" page. Had it for 3 days...unpackage, assembly, charge...take to get tire air...RIDE. This is a great electric "scooter bike"...I believe 15+ mph..(and you don't need faster really) and I'll concede 20 miles on a charge....though that would be a long trip at my size. Facts: 1. it comes packaged perfectly and strongly....I took pics and noted what went were in case of return..no need to return..everything works and not damaged. I did cut ONE long side of box for removal. 2. Assembly - steering column - easy up and lock. Seat...easy...but "lock" tight...then I tested it with my weight BEFORE I rode it. Basket...not easy...started bolts w allen wrench provided..but needed hex nut bit in my electric drill/driver. Bell tighten screw. Everything else solid. Tires need gas station air to get to 35-45 psi...36 in booklet...hand pump (included) I got to 20 psi. 3. Charging - charged it from red to GREEN in 4.5 hours. Did it in the living room so I could A. see if it was smoking or something amiss.. B. stop charging when it goes green...to get a "time"..and book recommended it. 4. The RIDE - No shocks..but air tires...so bumps..but no biggy. Fast little "bike"...it goes..be ready. I am 5 foot 10, 205 lbs? 265 max load I believe...as far as sturdiness....dragging 265 is its own thing. For me, it pulled me up a fair neighborhood grade with ease...gradual slope..but FAR from flat. As much of a hill as I'll EVER need on this bike. The only considerations are.....It has a high center of gravity bc of the "sit down" and my feet fully stretched keep my knees close to 90 degrees...ie..not for long trips without breaks. It's a tricky ride...I'm lifelong Motorcycles...and this "Bike" is worth getting used to...ie..It's not a toy. I might add a rear-view mirror to the handlebars....looking back is easier on a bicycle than is is on this for some reason. I've ridden it twice....up that hill once...and I'm just going to take it slow and get used to it. Fun "Scooter Bike"....HIGH HIGH quality...comfortable quality bicycle-type seat... cute "analog" bell...ie..pull back a clapper...*Ding*...and a powerful front light that can be turned on or off. Lastly, disc brakes front and rear take getting used to...accelerator off slows you, brakes work fine..but a bit "grabby" till you get used to them... Oh..and it "free-wheels" down slope....cool feature. I bought the NEON Yellow Green one and it IS as cool as in the picture. Some review said this uses a key..Mine doesn't..has an "on/off" button. Charge update: rode 2.5 miles...charged to "green" in 65 minutes...max miles "LINEAR" on a full charge - extrapolated to 11 miles or so..BUT "battery discharge" graph (image attached) shows 15 to 20 likely. ie..first "hour" drains at much higher rate/mile... hour 2, 3, 4 - more "miles per battery discharge. So it stands to reason that "charging" follows the same curve - opposite. Bike is good for short trips...not concerned with max miles/charge..and I'd concede it's "as advertised" so far. AND it fits perfectly in the back of my Ford Explorer...took it get air..."Like a Glove" Charging Miles Update - 9/4/22....ok..I used Algebra for this..Calculus with the "charge curve" above better...this will do.. 1st "timed" ride...65 min charge ~2.5 miles...I'm 5'10" ~205 lbs. Up a substantial grade..and other lesser grades. 2nd "timed" ride..4.3 miles...92 minutes charge to green...same big grades... So, First Ride...= 10.4 miles on full charge.LINEAR...BUT..charge curve...most charge goes exponential in first hour..then discharge slope flattens... Now..2nd Ride...LINEAR = 12.6 Miles....BUT...if I take away first Ride...the 1.8 miles w 27 min charge give me a rate of 18 miles on full charge for that 1.8 miles.. Bottom line: The 20 mile on a charge as advertised is easily believable... BUT...nobody but a "kid" could ride out a full charge on that seat...w/ that leg space.. I'm 65 and a half. Lastly...I added a rear-view mirror..which came with another bell..Red...AND I made sure the seat post could NEVER drop from the tightening loosening. I love this Bike...remember it makes no sound...so if on a walking path...hit the bell for people.."on your Right".. Customer Cool. Customer Cool 8/20/2022
