The Async L5 is a unique looking fat tire electric bike with a smooth torque sensor and a huge display that's nicer than what you see on some motorcycles. The 52v power train and the fully encased battery are two more features that stand out on this bike aside from its appearance. Watch this Async L5 review to learn everything you need to know about this ebike before you buy it online sight unseen.

It'd be real good for this old guy since he's the same weight and height as me. Along with the quality of his reviews, I especially like it since we're in the same size and weight. Makes it really accurate for me! I'm looking for something that I can easily do 40 mile round trip and tow a tiny trailer. I would use it to go to a nice fishing spot at a lake. I need something as comfortable as possible with the damage I have in my spine.

    The charger not charging is one of the big issues I've noticed on my L5 too. I'm also impressed the app worked with you at all. The screen brightness actually lowers itself automatically when you have the lights on, likely to reduce glare if you're riding at night. I do find the bike has power when you need it. I regularly attach a trailer for groceries or for taking my dogs out with me, and the bike powers through like it's not even there and doesn't disappoint.

    @alansantos9023 the thing is, I really want to recommend this bike. It's so fun to ride and looks fantastic. Async support is totally nonrespinsive, and I've had many issues with cheaply used parts within the first month (teeth breaking off of the cassette, rear brake failing, electronic issues with the speedometer dropping out, charger issues.)this bike isn't exactly easy to work on either, and I'm afraid to mess with any of the electricals at the chance of voiding any part of the warranty that support should wholly be honoring. I wouldn't recommend this bike just on my experience

    Matt, I was going to tell you, but you already figured out about the battery. I enjoy up your reviews and was thinking out the L3., and reviewing the bike.. I really enjoy step throughs, I have been on the L7 and I really enjoyed. $3999 puts them smack in where a lot of Mid Drives all seems to be priced , They do make pretty decent bikes. Since there are now are so many ( Resellers) of cheap bikes it’s getting reality crowded) and folks are really getting confused and a lot are getting stung by resellers that only care about the all mighty dollar ,and no form of service and zero support. I can’t tell you how many folks I have helped over my 20 plus years having e-bikes in helping them set them up , but when they break them. Now we are just telling folks to slow down , think , and watch the video we did on Cadence vs torque sensor bikes. I hate cheap cadence bikes, and so many people go out and see a pretty bike and buy the first one that peeks there fancy. We tell them No and here’s the difference. Thanks for making me chuckle with your reviews. Oh and I did the same thing you did when you bumped the peddle on the 5 star., and launched the bikeAll I did was break the LCD., and make me dislike cadence bikes even more. There’s a definite place for cadence bikes, It’s just too bad that they put them on so many really cheap bikes. I have seen in my 20 years of having e-bikes, every person who’s gotten hurt it’s been on a cadence bikes.. Keep the reviews coming. ( Dude) Ron Instant Power 322
