I need some advice. I am looking from a bike around $500 or $600. I put together a 2 stroke kit but my health problems won't really allow me to ride it let alone enjoy it. I am a vet with a heart condition so what would you recommend for me this around my price range?

OK but if you are only cruising around the neighborhood or on city streets to commute to work or school. Is it okay?

Great review! Awesome to see another San Antonian! Had just started riding again and broke my ankle. Can’t wait to get back on the trails…the easy ones. Lol Subscibed!

More than what I would expect from the price, a nice trail bike for city trails.

Is it possible to relocate the sensor to the other pedal? Even if you had to glue a magnet onto the crank or something?

Cool video! You saved me some hassles and of course the $. You have a great narrating style. Also u r lucky to have those trails nearby (assuming it's nearby) I wish we had something like this in SD. (May be there is and I am not aware)

This guy has his head up somewhere. I just bought the cruiser version, and am really happy with it. Why does he think that a $400 bike would be perfect out of the box, when you have to assemble it yourself? Kyle, I made it a few seconds in and gave up, if you're a bike guy you know how ridiculously easy V brakes are to setup. Stop being a gate-keeper. These bikes are decent for the money. I've been riding bikes for 40 years. This is my first venture into E bikes, it's cheap. Don't buy a Hyundai and whine it doesn't perform like a Ferrari...

Man I gotta get one of those,plan on doing some heavy MB my only question is how good is the horn ?

So you can't activate the electric motor if you don't pedal? Can you use the bike without pedaling and if you do what is the range pls?

What do you fill your tires at? It says 50-80psi, should i put a little more air in the back tire?

Hilarious video! Glad there's brave riders like you to take these insane risks so others don't have to. I just bought one of these to use as a winter work bike, so I'm not expecting much. I do like that this is a 26er, and a small-ish frame at that. I'm 5'7" so It works for me. (plus I still have a set of 26" winter tires around here to use) That said, I'm installing a disc brake on the rear before I even start to ride it. It has an IS disc mount on the frame and the rear hub takes a 6-bolt rotor. I'm planning on swapping out the steel crankset for a spare used alloy set I have sitting around. I was wondering if I could switch around the PAS sensor to the non-drive side while I do this?

@patricktaylor4997

2 жыл бұрын

Swapping PAS to the non-drive side works! Need to take the sensor out of its bracket and turn it around. (and follow the arrows for the magnet ring) Note, besides having a cheap steel crankset, it also has a weird bottom bracket. Cartridge on the drive side and cone & bearing ring on the non-drive side. (the sight of an old-school lock-ring on the non-drive cup had me worried) How weird is that? 86ed it along with the cranks.

I have one and would never take it off road because that's not what I bought it for. I ride it to work which is 10 miles back and forth and it really does do what I need it too do. I really had the cheap brakes tho on this bike any suggestions on disk brake options?

Good info. I’m looking at maybe still getting this bike because at Walmart it says you can get 4 year warranty for $50. It says it covers to motor for the whole 4 years. Seeing what your thoughts are.

I agree with you. I spent 2k on an ebike and it has been awesome so far. My old mountain bike is an 2009 Alite 3000 and it has been great all these years for trails, light and good components and it is a 26 inch lol

Can you put a new motor and Battery on that Ebike to modify it?

Yeah, rear hub motors are dangerous on any kind of trails. They're meant for paved, city commutes. Even a $2500 bike with a powerful 1500w rear hub motor is also horrible for trails due to the delays. You want a mid drive for that since the torque sensor is much more sensitive and will work with you over the poor cadence sensor.

Great idea as a commuter bike. I might still be worried about the motor failing and I’d be huffing my way home with a 48 lb bike to pedal.

The tires on the bike have to be upgraded And the suspension, excellent review and my apologies on the other comment I left . Its an ok beginner bike from very mild trails but better for the road

I bought this bike because the area I live in has a lot of hills and i was just peddling a regular mountain bike. Most of the time I had to get off and push up a hill. This bike was perfect for what I needed it for. And I have nothing negative to say about it and I chose this bike because I didn’t want to pay 800 or 1200 for a different model. So just riding around town this bike is definitely what I needed

Its a great option as a bike for the non biking spouse to keep up with you on your gravel bike. Add $15 disc brake upgrade to back as it is a simple bolt on procedure. But front fork and wheel is not disk ready. If it lasts maybe change out front fork and wheel to disc setup. But not worth throwing another $150 at it.

@@kevinmontgomery1383 the rear wheel hub can accept disc rotor and the frame has mounts for rear disc breaks. But the front fork and front wheel hub does not have mounts. Rear is as simple as buying a set off of ebay or Amazon and installing them. In your case get a spoke tool off Amazon and try that first. It's cheap and keeping wheel true is very important. Lots of videos explaing how to do that. Note any cable disk brakes will work using existing cables. The bike comes with electronic motor cutoff on the break levers so leaving that alone and getting a set of cheap breaks off Amazon will be best. The upgrade to disc break has marginal gains. Good enough to easily stop the bike with only rear breaks on flats but most of the power in breaking comes from front..The brake line is not compressionless cable housing and wires so it will still feel mushy or spongy.

Can you lock the front suspension?

Can someone who’s actually owned and used this ebike answer my question: Being that this is a pedal assist bike, in Low, medium and high mode, is the motor supposed to keep running until you stop peddling? Obviously after it’s been activated while you pedal. Mine in Low and Medium mode will give me a good push upon peddling but after 3 seconds, the motor turns off but the control interface stays lit. Yes, on a full battery. on High mode, the motor continues running but sometimes it’ll turn off while on at a decent speed, and then back in seconds later (I don’t know if it’s because it shuts off after a certain speed to protect the battery/motor from being overloaded) Also: when I’m using Low or Medium mode, I’m in 3rd or 4th gear.

MAybe a solid fork and panniers. Commuter?

O think this is an excellent opportunity to make a Frankenbike with your rusting top of range 26, with nice rims, brakes, forks and groupset and larger handlebar nice tyres...

So question I looked this up at Walmart and the description saids that the run time is 1 to 2 hours does the battery deplete when you don’t use it or does it run base off of miles and how many did you get on the lowest assist level I only want an e bike for delivering so I’m not brand happy but I can’t find any information on total miles.

Hi Albert. I actually didn't even use the bike in the low setting. I was having too much fun in the max setting. I did ride 32 miles on the highest setting which was impressive. The battery itself has an on/off button, so as long as it is turned on I imagine it's depleting a bit. I think the 32 miles I got was because the bike was brand new, and that the battery would probably degrade over time. I wish I could give you a more solid answer, but I'm just not certain.

A 36 volt lithium powered bike with a brushless hub motor weighing in at 48 pounds for $400. Ten years ago, A 24 volt sealed lead acid powered bike with a brushed motor weighing in at 70 pounds (Ezip Trailz) ran you $500. It's nice to see how far along technology has progressed. This bike is a great deal for $400 for someone who will take it the same places the majority of us will go, which is the sidewalks and side roads. If the batteries are of any sort of decent quality and the bike isn't thrashed, a person could see a lot of use out of this value oriented machine.

Yeah it's pretty cool for street riding. I did talk about that a bit in the video. If you are a bit taller, I would get the 29" wheel version for like $100 more I think. It also has disc brakes instead of rim brakes which is a nicer feature.

What are you going to do with those 26" tires? ;)

To be fair, it's actually a pretty good road bike. Would be good for a casual cyclist or a commuter. Could go on some dirt paths as long as they're not too steep or bumpy. It's fatal flaw is the mountains!

I have a Trek Rail 7 to ride on real mountain bike trails, but I could save on tires when riding with my wife on paved surfaces on her electric bike. I can still ride an electric bike without paying for a real electric bike.

Mixed feelings. You could probably make about the same video with a non-powered $150 Walmart mountain bike, which is what this is, only with a motor. I'd be a little a little cautious of any mountain bike at this price range, $400 really just begins to open the door to adequate mountain bikes - that's about the price of a pair of Rockshox Judy Gold forks without the rest of the bicycle. Having said that, the last time I was riding at a competitive level, Scott had still not discovered suspensions. The decades since then have not been especially kind, and I find the hills are getting steeper and the headwinds a little stronger. I'm also not going to see any jump in income soon unless social security has a massive overhaul. So this looks pretty intriguing for somebody to use on the street at an affordable price. I don't need an e-bike that can smoke the rear tire. Their city bike looks tempting, but our street maintenance is pretty lousy and mountain bike wheels seem to hold up better. I'd get this, put a couple of Continental 2" street tires and a decent rack on it and call it an urban assault vehicle. It would let me stay on a bike for another few years, and I could stop having to do dirty tricks to the grandkids bikes like deflating their tires and adjusting the brakes to rub so I can keep up...

I just ordered one for like 197 dollars :) Just to get around and included battery brand new :)

I think your comparing apples to oranges. Good entry bike for light trails. Cadence sensing as you know is pretty standard on hub driven brushless motors vs torque sensing in the high end bikes. Also, you should mention customer service behind brands. Hyper founded by ex pro BMXER has excellent service and parts are available and shipped within a week vs high end brands that don’t provide the extent of parts or sevice. Just food for thought
