Pleasantly surprised by the build quality, the frame is solid, welds are very good, powder coating is smooth and perfect, brakes and controls work great, bike doesn’t seem like a cheap build in any way,
Top speed about 20mph, use the phone app to connect to it via Bluetooth and you can change it to a class 3 instantly and get up to around 30mph, and that works just as advertised. In a car you may not notice that extra 8mph but on a moped-sized thing you really notice it.
Using it at the top power setting only (PA 5), going throttle top speed the whole time, up hills, etc I’m able to get about 27 miles on a full charge, using a lower power setting so I’m providing some of the power via pedaling the range would increase. I think all these manufacturers list the range using the lowest setting. But 27 miles min in one charge will probably be enough for me as I’ll usually be using PA 3 or 4 most of the time anyway on trails and get more range. I may buy a 2nd battery to carry in a backpack if I want to use this more like a dirt bike on long trails. I bought this style because it has a shorter turning radius than a typical 10 speed bike frame style and would be more fun on woods trails, more nimble.
It’s not in any way a motorcycle, but it has enough torque that you have to be a little careful popping the throttle at start or the front end can come up on you.
It’s my first e-bike so I can’t compare it to anything else, but I’m finding e-biking in general extremely fun and opens up a huge range of bike trails and neighborhoods I wouldn’t ordinarily be able to get to.
