    Does the rear shock actually work? So many of these full suspension bikes in this price range seem to have rear shocks that are really stiff with little or no adjustment, giving very little suspension.

    @@18andlikeit it does, however it needs more room. The rear tire hit the controller so I'm going to relocate it . I'm going to incorporate it in to the rear rack. The wiring is not a problem for me to do myself. Could be a problem for people who aren't very experienced with it. I believe I can change more of the advanced settings to allow more power.

    Lets hope we have a laws change for the better at some point in time, more people would actually ride ebikes if they allowed throttle and at least 25mph top end, makes no sense no throttle as peddling is a throttle with alot less control compared to the dedicated ones, takes a bit to spin up and stop, when throttle stops and starts when u press or let go.. Love my engwe engine pro, its perfect for me in the countryside with so many hills, just hoping our law comes somewhere in line with America

The Havic H2 has got my attention like no other. We are both 5'4 and want an all around Bike's. Speed,Power,Range. We have the Lectric Expo on the 24th-25th this month in San Francisco, Ca and hopefully the Havic will have a demo booth🤞 Soo many bikes to choose from but your reviews are helping immensely! 😉👍

    If you like acceleration, might I recommend a sabvoton 150amp 72v kit with a qs205 hub. Or for a little less money, an 80amp square wave 3000 watt kit. You'll have to add the kits to an existing bike.

    Hilarious video, and thanks Craig for making side-by side runs possible! I kind of prefer midrange power, and purposely programmed my bike to have a smooth start, but it will still almost flip you off the bike from a roll. This is not the best for drag racing, but it does make it fun for the street and mountain bike trails! I have not checked the 0 to 20mph times recently, but before the last upgrade it was quicker than the Grizzly at about 4.6 seconds.

    pretty rare that i have any shake in the front end of a bike. only a couple times, one time i think it was partly a weight distribution issue, too much weigh on the rear rack, the other time it was a bad tire. you could also check to see if wheel is seated straight in the dropout.

They are a Chicago based company and provide amazing customer service. No doubt that it is a leap of faith to trust any company with $2k so it is fully justified to be hesitant. Hopefully Wired will be able to catch up with demand and actually builds a bit of an inventory in 2024.
