Yeah I had the Jasion EB5 plus to begin with. When I got my OUXI V8 it was like night and day. The Ouxi is so much more fun than the Jaison. Went from 18.6mph to 28mph.
I didn't like the way I had to lean forward so I rotated the gooseneck back to the way it came and it is much more comfortable. 😊
Hey man, great vid. How tall are you? I'm 6 foot 6 and worried this will be too small for me
Do you happen to know what size the bolt and washer are for the front tire? Mine somehow fell off and I can’t seem to figure it out.
Hold plus and min for couple seconds and go to po8 for the speed setting
I had a similar style bike-if you can afford to,get the dual battery version,these units drain battery quickly.
This is great, thank you for the video! Very well done too 👍 I am looking into this bike, do you think it could handle Canadian winter? Haha we do have bike lanes but still.. my other concern is it’s weight as I’d have to carry it two flights of stairs each time I use it.. down and than back up. It seems more compact than the traditional computer bicycle which is good.. but is it 10 times heavier?
@ampedcycle
9 ай бұрын
I think the Canadian winter will be pretty hard on it. That battery will lose a lot of performance below freezing. I live in northern Illinois, and we have harsh winters too. I haven’t ridden in anything under 40 degrees f, and even then my range takes a hit. As far as taking it up and down stairs, I did that with mine for a few weeks and I decided to rent a garage in my apartment building. It’s doable, but I wouldn’t want to be doing it every day. Only a matter of time until an accident at that point.

The brake noise you hear is the pads scraping the rotor. It will disappear after a few more miles of wear-in. You can use a rubber strip as a shim in between the handlebar and mount to get the phone holder to secure better. I have this model and I’m happy with it. It tops out around 27mph but that’s plenty fast for a bike. The low end torque is great on grassy trails and mild off road. It also climbs hills really quite well. I’m 6’1” and 180lbs

I've owned this model for a month. And I have one major issue with it, mine refuses to go over 26 mph no matter what the settings are set to. I would recommend to verify your onboard speedometer with a GPS app on your phone. With mine when it says it's going 28 mph it's only really going 26. I've reached out to the manufacturer and they made some changes, later shipments are getting a weaker motor/controller. Early releases could actually reach a real 30 mph.

I’m just wondering, does your pedal assist kick in when you start peddling because I’ve changed all my settings to where they should be even changed where you can have pedal assist and pedaling, but it doesn’t seem to really kick in too much when you start to pedal but it seems like you have to give it throttle to even get it going and when you let off the throttle and you are peddling it slows down, so it doesn’t keep up with the pedal assist

If you change tire size in the setting. You get get 5-10 extra mph! Your welcome. Change it to higher number then default! Ex. 16 -> 20 or 14 -> 19 (Don't go higher speed for longer then 30 minutes, your MOTOR and CONTROLLER will OVERHEAT and die)

Changing the tire size doesn’t actually make it faster, i tested all the settings, 28-31 max speed depending on weight. You actually are better off buying a regular bicycle and making it electric if you’re looking for cheap. Making the q20 go faster will require modifications to the bike

Every now and then with new products, Amazon will sell item or advertise item of 40 to 50% off original intended price. Its why its always good to browse an item like ebikes for once you pay of process Amazon has to sell item as priced no matter a mistake or not. Just make habit of browsing Amazon every now and then and be ready to grab that reduced possible data entry mistake.
