I do like your safety concerns. However you're misinformed on most everything else when it comes to operating this board. Not your fault.

I would advise against any of those. You want something from a more legit company, preferably American with a good history. These are all Aliexpress and Amazon bikes - something you want to stay away from. You'll get zero support and there's zero reliability with a brand that has no strong history. Company comes first, followed by the product. Don't look at a product and then try to justify the company behind it. The company should at least have a phone number which is absent on the EKX website and would you really can Jansno in China? Jansno's $5 off coupon is insulting to say the least. Have you noticed that under the dealer menu, there are no dealers? They just claim to be looking for dealers. I recommend you spend some time in any Facebook Groups that may exist for these ebikes for at least 3 weeks to see what the community talks about. The only China brands I'd ever consider are Magicycle, Yadea and Mockwheel. Seeing the cafe racer look you seem to be going for, you may want to take a look at the Ride1Up Revv1 or the Yadea Trooper 01. In terms of styling, Raev seems like something what fits up your alley, namely the Bullet. They are a Canadian brand. Particularly if you're spending upwards of $2k, you really don't want to be giving it to some random sketchy company. I'm not confident in any of the ones you've listed. Buyer beware.

@@thelisner he? I’m right here.

@@lmsarmiento Correct but Class 3 is still for offroad use. Most cities still limit to Class 2 speeds on public roads. That’s why bikes that are Class 3 capable are shipped with Class 2 settings and Class 2 decals. You always hear about owners “unlocking” to Class 3.

@Funcentric , the only restriction, besides age and helmet usage, for Class 3 ebikes is that they are not allowed on Class 1 bike paths. Otherwise, they are street legal. Anything over 750w and 28mph pedal-assisted max, is limited to offroad use.

@@lmsarmiento I stand corrected.

@@WoodstarForges depends on your mounting method I suppose. I’ve had zero issues. I just slide it off the bracket when I need to recharge.

@Funcentric nah I mean the bit that the rubber band hooks too to hold it onto the bars l, it's blocking the charge port lol

@@MIKEEMDY I am glad it was able to help you.

@@stormywinds6497 that’s not really what e-bikes are for. I would not recommend that at all.

@@nelsoncaraballo9446 yes!

@@isaacmettle it’s because of the $3 sunglasses. Haha.

@@docdco01 Unfortunately the sale is over. But here it is, a.co/d/dmnW6Z9 I don’t have an Amazon store. Not an affiliate. Sometimes Hiplok will have sales too. You want to check eBay as well. The reason I don’t have links is because the cheapest price changes all the time. I don’t want to promote a particular source because I have personal incentive. I just want people to get the best price.

@@JotnarIsGodlike yeah! Looking forward to it!

@@nivin3 depends on the buyer. I don’t have experience with that but I hear good things and more reliable. Mostly because it’s built better.

@@newbie101 I’m not really pushing any products but yeah I guess posting them might be easier for y’all. The best sellers change from time to time. I would just recommend picking a seller with at least 94% positive reviews. There isn’t a ton of variety. Maybe a dozen of each type of thing so shouldn’t be too hard to find. Was there something you wanted a link for in particular?

@@JantzerStudios interesting thought but I think it was just too much trouble and I needed to shed weight anyway.

@@japyoo2248 see other comment responses.

@@amoretpax199 yes, yes yes!

@@Mika-Cohen For hills, i tried elevated but it was a bit of a pain changing modes all the time. I like Skyline and was probably on that for the hill climb test. After this video, I later updated the firmware and am on custom shaping but configured similar to skyline x.

@@Tottorul it’s already all brain in there. A little bit of it is mush.

I could probably use a yamaka as a balaclava

@@LindenRanch Thanks so much. I appreciate you taking the time to share your kind words! Just remember, if you buy the bike online, the bike will be heavier and bigger than you think.

@@gungfuriceboy Thanks! I too get tired of the ads disguised as “reviews”. I had to offer something else. Haha.

@@Funcentric fun ...well informed real review!!!! ....great 'Value'..with the Lectric!!! ..i'm currently 'looking' @ reviews...with the TERN HSD Gen2!..( electric ). oh...1 more Thing'.... hope you do a Real Review...on 1 of these!!! cheers !!

@@jordanyang3066 yeah, cheap too! Anyone can do it. Tag me if you happen to post it on Instagram. Would love to see it.

@@lalorge Cool, I’m producing a follow up part 2 video. This time it’s night time accessories!

@@kjetilpedersen583 not sure. A friend gave it to me. It’s 3D printed. Maybe thingyverse. It ended up breaking and I never used it again.

@@nivin3 that would be a solid plan. The MJX is too powerful for its size so you really have to be disciplined in driving it to keep it alive. The Haiboxing cars I have are solid for reliability and parts are easier to get. I do have a part 2 of this arrma video that tells you what parts you need to get to keep it solid and running without so many issues. Also I have a video about building a 2S 1/10 scale Arrma that’s way more reliable.

Breaking it down, if you want to buy something and be done w/o zero modding, then the MJX car is the one to get. But again, stay disciplined b/c it's way too powerful for its size. Wheelies no problem. If you want something super reliable and be able to give it to a kid or friend to drive w/o worrying about it, then an HBX 16889A Pro would be it. You absolutely cannot mod this. It can't handle more power. If want to tinker a lot and understand the build of the car and mod, then building a 2S Arrma 1/10 scale would be a fun project. This is different from buying a Mega and just putting a LiPo into it. Building meaning, designing the combination of motor and pinion, ESC built specifically for 2S up to 32mph. But if it's speed you want, the MJX can pull close to 40mph out of the box. Size won't be as impressive as a 1/10 but way more portable and takes up less space at home.

@@Funcentric thanks man... That upgrade you mentioned is rocket science for me lol

@@nivin3 okay then it’s a matter of how much you value reliability and durability. Generally 1/16 scale cars are way more durable because it doesn’t break under its own weight. 1/10 with power are heavy. The MJX models are the exception. They’re both dense and powerful. MJX isn’t known for parts availability so buyer beware. In contrast, HBX has better customer service. The only Chinese company I know who you san actually communicate with (via Facebook).

@@Funcentric hey can you suggest a good 1/10 Hbx model?

@@njsarn Thanks, “single” meaning one bike or meaning for one rider?

@@Funcentric It’s a one rider bike. I almost fell for the cargo ebike. 😅

@@njsarn Glad you reconsidered. A lot of drawbacks of a cargo bike people don’t consider and then follows the regret. But no one talks about that because telling people the truth apparently isn’t a good way to sell bikes.

@@hose3462 I thought so too but only on cars. I verified with a cop friend of mine who I ride e-bikes with. You can legally have it on your person or a non car, meaning PEV’s are fine. The lighting color and patterns do change but I think the default light are the police lights unless you change it manually. Good if motorists think they’re being pulled over. They’ll slow down hopefully.

@@Miguel_Molina I hear ya. It’s nice to be able to see the shadows and therefore depth of uneven terrain at night. I feel like they’re even more visible than in the daytime. However, maybe it’s my board or the mounting height but I’m not able to get the distance of strong illumination to ride comfortably without my helmet lights. My city also does have crazy terrain. Not very well kept. It doesn’t help that there’s also nutty drivers and cyclists to worry about. Ride safe!

@@extraHERO haha, that comment should probably be in an Ebike video. I have heard of the Heybike Hauler but have not seen one in person and have never ridden one. I’m not a fan of the brand.

Awesome! yeah, it helps that I'm not selling them to anyone. Just had to talk about my favorite RC. It's almost too powerful!

@@ericb.4358 That would be cool but not for the price though.

@@Stevieb-cc8ll no, because there’s no balance cable on an Esk8 battery.

@@barbaracasanova9228 Glad it helped!

@@avengers4ever2019 I only ride this during the day. I don’t think turn signals in general work well in the dark because drivers can’t really see more than blinking lights from afar.

@@Finnimagoo Great, I feel like no one does them. All the reviews seem to be just ads.

Exactly, I call them overviews. They also don't use them extensively enough to really review for ownership. It's more like, "hey look how cool this bike is!" And then in a couple weeks "Hey look how cool this bike is". That's why there are very few bike comparison videos. It's always about the next best thing. I think we would all feel the same if we rented or borrowed said bike, but ownership is an entirely different scenario.

They are about the same now. Aliexpress before Temu was even out had a the longest ship time of over 3 months during the pandemic times. They've cut it down to 1.5-2 weeks ish. Temu may be about 10 days or more.

The biggest scam. Don't waste your money.

@@PurplePixieEater I only recently started wearing joggers. Helps a lot. And now I can look like the other dads on their kids’ baseball field.

@@joshuasampson6971 Oem, comes with it.

@@jordanmitchell9742 what part of the explanation and demonstration did you not understand from the video? I felt like I went through it in quite a bit of detail.

@@youngwilliam8284 haha! Yes, I get that on occasion too.
