Oh hey Thanks for hanging out with me and checking out my reviews.. Sometimes things happen and I only have the truth- Thanks for understanding - Your friend- Joey
Sohiamo is the correct spelling I believe but I could be wrong! I have the M3 and it’s a beast very difficult to get on and off of for a 60yr old guy so I appreciate your review on the H3. Looking hard at getting the H3 because of the size difference. Thanks again
Hi Mr Dtech. Shoutouts from Huntington Beach Really dig your videos...been checking them out for a bit over 2yrs now👍👍👍 You really enjoyed the prior ebike you reviewed. How does it compare to this one over all??🤔👍
Which bike did you like? I like the moped styles but i NEED a folding style because I got a tiny Corolla. The XP 3.0 is an all around KEEPER but priced at $1399.. This Sohamo was a shocker to me because it initially felt like a generic built bike. but for $799? Dude.. its worth every penny in value! just gotta spend an hour putting it together..
Really good review. I may be getting this one for review as well. It'll be my first experience with a foldable so I'm looking forward to it. I like the idea of being able to take it with me to a specific location, unload it and ride out.
Exactly! 100% correct - You fold it up and take it to some beautiful peaceful place and ride it around and catch a sunset... Ride with a friend" SO MUCH BETTER I promise! - Joey
Thanks for another ebike review, For a basic ebike the price is surely budget able. Yet after having hydraulics I don't think I would want to go back to cable. Seems like all these new ebike companies are using the same frame, just with different ranks and stickers. Whatever ebike one may choose it surely is the right decision. I ride my 3,0 daily. I trek 30 miles up and down mountains with no problem. I am 6 ft, 255 lbs. I underestimated the power of these bikes until riding one. It opens up a whole new adventure. Have a great day!
Truth is these bike parts are all made in the same place... seriously.. I got e-bikes with the very same parts as a sit down E-scooter! Yeah man there is no engineering... just mass parts made and sent out and people put them together and call their bikes "THIS BIKE or THAT BIKE" Lol .. NO difference.. I do prefer the 180mm rotors with Hydraulic option but the cheaper bikes use 160 and mechanical a lot! - Joey
Dude I love your reviews and your philosophy, I got my first folding ebike bike for $670 total free shipping, Senada Drifter, 500 w 14.5 ah, it's an awesome little cruising bike, I've hit 30 Mi on it one day 99.9 % throttle, my second bike was 1050 total, that's a motorcycle Style Ridstar Q20, 1000 watt motor 20 amp battery hydraulic brakes, a review on those bikes would be really cool, for what I paid for each of them you can't beat them, my biggest criteria I've learned is hydraulic brakes they are definitely a game-changer, and this bike has a 20 amp battery definitely worth it man, awesome review, unless I really come into some money I'm going to probably stay around 1000 or 1100 at the most for my future bikes
Joey, your braking tests are somewhat Knievel. You do the test right before the metal barrier! Thanks for all of these. You always deliver the information we are interested in and need. As is the case on all the channel's videos.
Hey Bill' I have faith the brakes will hold but.. There is always a chance that a cable snaps or something last minute.. Maybe the brake test this way isnt so smart... I might try somthing different in my up coming videos - Thanks for tuning in brother - Joey
I would love to see you review a bike for a woman. One that has a low step over bar, that is foldable, smaller tires, and can hold 275 pounds easily. It has to be easy to handle and ride, and not so hard for an older person to deal with. Possibly in the low to mid price range. Is there such an animal?
I love doing these reviews! man - Learning what makes a Good bike and a cheap bike . A bargain and a Rip off.. Learned a lot in the 1-2 months I started researching these things - Joey
I'm pretty active and been to Vegas about 5 times . I'm from Ohio.. i wish i knew about that bike path. I would love to run/bike it next time. Maybe even stay at green valley casino. Thanks for the video
Oh you know where the Green Valley ranch Casino is? Yeah there is a sweet Bike path that runs 7 Miles and you really can open up the e-bikes and fly on them... I never knew about any of these bike paths until i started doing e-bike reviews - Thanks for tuning in.. More reviews coming - Joey
Brother Man these ebikes are so cool. I just need one that I can get to the beach in the summer time avoid paying parking spend all day everyday at the beach instead of spending aywhere from 2 dollars an hour.. Your Reviews are Awesome.. Ride Safe .. Peace
Hey Dan.. This Sohamo for $799 is a banger of a deal with a range of 45-55 miles per charge.. I do think this guy is a value. wait till you see the tiny Sit down scooter LOL i reviewed.. Its the kind that Paystreak uses' Its crazy.. Its next! Try not to laugh too hard man - Joey
I would say this is for sure out of the ones you reviewed my top two the one that I really liked is like 1000$ and more but this one is around you said 799$ for sure in my top three of wanting to get of what you reviewed.
This One " AT FIRST GLANCE" - I was like " What in the hell is this ( Harbor freight clearance bike) It just had that cheap feel to it.. I had to build it and then I was sketchy to really push the throttle thinking it might fall apart on me... But once I did a quality inspection and took it to the track.. I started trusting it! And now I can say.. Its a steal for $799 ... Thanks Chriss -- More reviews coming !
some of my video got corrupted and lost.. it was recorded initially but had to work with what a had. Man it sucked. I was up at 3am trying to get this video edited. - Joey
If you dont mind spending 1hr to 1.5 hrs putting it together.. Then absolutely for $799! Im keeping mine.. Im 215 pounds and it hauls me around 28mph easy! Good Mid size battery with great range.. It rattles a bit so i put some double sided tape on the bottom.. But I enjoy this Nike Walt- Joey
@@walterwhite1 no problem.. Thanks for hanging out with me .. I havent maxed out a full battery as of yet.. Ive put 25 miles on it one day with 65% still left in the tank so im thinking the range is a solid 50 miles more if you pedal - joey
Sorry Joey but this one is not for me. It looks too small and that seat looks very uncomfortable. I think the standard seat should be the longer, moped or motorcycle seat style. One thing that would be helpful is to see you sitting on the bike so we get a better idea of its size. It just looks small standing on its own.
@@willarddevoe5893 Hi Willard' Suprising to me that it was so supportive! How do people ride on those tiny Plastic Bike seats all day?? This had no pressure points and was really a comfy ride over some bad bumps!

Yes im from Baja California Ensenada, i got my car stolen kike 2 months ago and i daily work at 7am and then at 4pm and i been using only the bike for work and little outside trips and I realized i saved a lot of gas and ablot of looks and questions about the bike, their are not any commun hin my city 😊

This just might be what the wife and i are looking for! Amazing review thanks Joey!!!!
Yeah no worries.. More reviews coming if these dont fit the Bill' - Joey
Can you pedal it without battery
Keep your brake cables well greased from both ends. They will only get smoother and easier. Battery rattling? I'd glue on genuine leather.

Are you sure those are 3 inch wide tires? I’m pretty sure on Amazon. They say they’re 4 inch.
What are thought on Handlebars? I would probably opt to replace with a comfort bike style.
You should be able to fit one folding step thru Amp Rides 60V 1500 watt bike in your Toyota too. 😁

The way the battery sits, does it feel loose or wobbly when riding?
Thanks Joey!
