I love how you always state you're not a professional, but always give the best most in depth reviews. I don't think a lot of us who watch review videos are, so the way you deliver real world information is simply the best. Thanks for doing what you do, and really hope you keep getting new bikes to review...especially with so many out there without real reviews. You're the man Citizen!
no hell with your just an average person. you are more than a professional man i watched your vids for over a year and i think you are the best reviewer
Thank you Armoredsaint!! I try my best to provide some useful information about e-bikes in a professional manner. I'm glad you are enjoying the content 🙂
I liked the 0-20 test. It's great you pick benchmarks to assess bikes and - more importantly - compare them (like you did with the Himi, Rad and modified Rad in a previous video). I liked the incline test here. Please just be sure to reference both Himi and Rad (you didn't nention the Himi here) recapping their stats as that makes for a great point of reference. The fact that you show us the stretch of road before you test is also good as it helps get an idea of the test itself. Pro reviewers unfortunately dont do that and film themselves pedallig which is prety useless. To summarise... Very real-world, enjoyable and useful.
If you look at some stats--the problem with these tests are the manufacturers from chinal are allowed to "fudge" the numbers. If you dig down deep enough all these bikes under about 4k are using the same 3 or so batteries and motors--with samsung 48 volt batteries and the bafang 750 motor being on about 80% of the ones i looked at. I think I am going to get a CSC this week since they have a valid phone number and business in the US and have videos of their warehouse. You can turn the limiters off and most of these go between 28 to 33 with a mild pedal--many reviewers say that the pedaling requires little if no energy--but the action of doing it makes these bikes go faster and last longer.The bikes at about 2500 and to about 4k use a mix of this and 52v batteries and a 1000 watt bafang motor--but most of the tests I see--the 1000 watt is only putting about 5 to 10% more power if that and top speed is about 35 with pedaling and the 750s can do it also.I think i might get a 20 inch fat tire bike because the CSC is about 50 to 60 lbs and looks like it can go into the trunk of a big car or def into an SUV.This guy does very good reviews and his wife is great cause it can show the size.BTW the full size bikes--even the step thrus are huge--like the size of a huge mountain bike and some weigha lot.Some installation videos show decently shaped guys having trouble even getting these out of the box to assemble.
Thank you for showing the bike ,I am always interested in seeing what all is out there .Because of you I bought 2 Rad Power Bikes one the Rad Rover Step Thru 1 the other The Rad Rover 5 . That was the best money I have ever spent .So many different ways to Improve their Performance if desired .
@@CitizenCycle925 you could increase the clearance with different tires. The 27.5" tire is a standard 650B (584mm rim diameter). The bike comes with 57mm tires, so the 47mm should give you decent clearance and still take the weight.
The fender is easily adjusted away with plenty of clearance by simply raising the plastic component up further on the fork. Very simple and really not an issue with the bike.
I don't know, I have to say, I find the Wing Freedom X to pack much better value. It has the alarm system, the built in lights, looks cooler and rides so smoothly.
Front fender, will the tire hit on bumps? Bottle holder is a pickle fork. Headlight and tailight test? The screen does not allow for much "variety.". With 5 PAS is each setting 20% more assist? Happy Birthday, 2021 is your youtube Blow up year. Excellent review. If I was in the market....Himi ALL day Just noticed almost 9K subs, I think 10 K is where the M-words happens, Ride ON!
I do like this model KBO Breeze just got a Espin Flow yesterday after waiting 3 months. The KBO Breeze looks very much like the Espin Sport a few minor dif. The Espin Sport does have Juice brakes as does my Flow. Nice Review CC
You could change the settings, but I think you know that already first he turned it on pressing mode then after its time, you hard press a positive and negative for like three seconds the settings come on then you hard press m and the - or the + one of them for 10 seconds. A bunch of dashes is gonna come up so you press the + and then you’ll get the zero the next number you put in is a five. The next number you put in is a one the next number you put in is a zero and then it’s gonna take you to the hard settings where you get to change your top speed to 27.9 miles an hour and they also you can change kilowatts to miles right on the screen. I mean we all know if you got 90 kW half of that is miles per hour so if you got 60 kW, you’re going 30 miles an hour but you can change the kilowatts to miles per hour so you don’t even have to divide by two to know how fast you’re going it’s definitely there. I got the bike. It’s a great bike and it lasts a long time. I do have the three a charger but I made sure that I got the to a charger for the 48 V system battery so that.2a charger charges it nice and slow, and the 3a is a speed charger. Great review you are very, very honest about it because it’s true. It’s a great bike and has a lot of power and the last line out there it last long out there great content.
Yes ours was 1499 but a $200 discount for 2. We missed the $300 off sale for 2 bikes. We appreciate all the accessories that are included with this bike. Now - where to find a bike rack to fit in a hitch???
Someone said it could be switched to class 3, i guess not. I can pick one up with 20 miles on it for $800 or less. Probably ought to grab it. Good review
@@CitizenCycle925 well it won’t take you long. I’ve been at this mess since 2012. So you’re doing better than me. 🤣 Coach is the best! Love him! Happy birthday. 🎈
The frame looks just like a RIDE1UP 500. KBO has better lighting, better tires, better battery, better rear rack. My wife has a RIDE1UP 500 step-thru and the water bottle holder is in the normal place and works well. My wife is 5' 5" and fits the 500 step-thru really well. I like RIDE1UP's left-side thumb throttle better, the wiring is much cleaner, and the plastic fenders on the 500 actually fit & work better, but for the money, this KBO seems like the better deal.
My $3500 specialized bar I also has very tight fenders and the plus side of those is that they actually channel water away from you and the electronics on the bike where other bikes like the Rad Rover , We have to either build or buy a after market skid plate . Wich still seems to trap moisture around the controller . Fyi I recommend using a air compresses to keep all a bikes dry and clean espeacially after riding in snow and salt we need to keep that stuff off our bikes and it tends to get in places that we cannot with a rag ! That looks like a nice well sorted bike for the $$
@@CitizenCycle925 Heck yeah we'll use those leaf blowers up here in Minnesnowta to clear snow in the winter time .itll clear 1 to 2 inch snow falls as long as the snow isn't too wet or heavy.

Do you think you will do a range test on the kbo? Or does it feel like it has quite a bit of Rage?, another good video, I love watching your videos you're so informative for the typical person out there who was interested in e-biking ,keep up the great job!
Great review. I also removed the bottle holder! Haha. My legs kept on rubbing against it so I removed it during a long ride i took...btw LCD screen: I'm pretty sure even though it says KM on the counter it's actually miles. I rode yesterday for about 25 miles and surprise surprise, the KM counter increased by about 25 Km's
Yes my knees hit the bottle holder quite a few times as well, just not a great spot for it. I'll have to watch that odometer and see if it really is miles when I do the range test. Thanks for the heads up on that!!
From KBO, "KM on the display indicates a trip odometer, not a unit system. The data still represents MILE" and they have taken action to optimize the display meter.
@@CitizenCycle925 The bottle holder position of my breeze is on the downtube frame. The fenders have enough clearance. No issues. Obviously, kbo has already been optimized.
@@HRoger-uf5yh just assembled ours and the bottle holder is on the bottom down tube frame now instead of on top. No instructions on how to get the de-railer guard on. One RUclips video said to bend it (impossible) and pull it apart to fit over the holes. That was the hardest part of the assembly that we ran across. Also KBO video shows attaching to electric wires together into a connecting cable for the head lamp. That must be a newer version. Ours is hard wired into the lamp and we had to figure that one out (+) and (-) wires. Otherwise- simple to assemble - 25 min. watching the video to assist.
Is there any Bike Rack out their that would hold two commuter Electric Bike KBO Breeze that would work on a 2016 Jeep Wrangler Sahara with the spare tire on the back?
Just a thought when comparing people of different heights .... inseam is more important, as some people have longer legs and others a longer torso but are the same height. I have enjoyed your videos and have watched many of them. Keep them coming.
Yes, you can press m and a + for 10 seconds or the m and the minus button for 10 seconds you’re gonna have to type in a code 0510 then it’s gonna come to four dashes on the screen. Once you type that code in it automatically goes to the top speed it’ll show you 22.5 or whatever or 22.3 whatever you can press it up when you press it up, it goes up to 27.9 and once you do that, yeah the speeds they definitely get a lot faster. You’re welcome in advance.
Depends what you're looking for.. KBO is the lightest and easiest to handle, Rad is probably the smoothest with most established brand, and Himiway is the most powerful.
@@CitizenCycle925 If you only had one choice and all your riding was going to be on dedicated walk/bike paths and you wanted to ride 30 miles on each ride mainly using the electric motor, which would be the best choice? I don't want to make a mistake or regret on my first and only e-bike purchase.
I’d really like to see a comparative graph of all of your bikes speed tests you do. Maybe the name of the bike on one axis and the speed on another. I’m visualizing a separate page for each test.

Battery arrived with no battery I ordered two bikes one arrived without a battery. I called customer service and they said every few hundred bikes has one missing a battery or front forks. There said they will send another battery and a bag for my inconvenience. The battery showed up but would not charge. I tried charging it multiple timers with no avail.I don’t believe there is any kind of quality control to have something like this happen twice. I called and emailed customer service and have yet to hear back. Also,never recieved the bag.
Hey Man, Good info on this.....BUT, This bike is literally a Himiway in black,.... With thinner tires, less power, and a 500 instead of a 750 watt motor. And the display is not as good as Himiway. For just 100 bucks more you can have 32 mph speed and way better tires and. I really think the black full Himiway is the way to go. My bike is AWESOMENESS!! I doubt you will ever buy one now that you have the Himiway mini and the step one. I think you may have bought the WRONG model. But i see the reasoning in this, because you have the RAD. WELL, have fun and stay safe Man!
the two items you pointed out: smaller tires & speed of up to 28mph (vs 32) are why i bought the breeze. I personally don't like fat tire bikes nor did it want something that goes super fast..mostly bc I pedal as much as I can during my rides...Himiways look cool (and by the way the frame used by himiway, kbo, ride1up [look at the 500 series] are a very popular type of frame for ebike so you'll see many bike that look the same) and they appeal to a ton of consumers but i think this type of bike also appeals to a big market (commuters or more urban and/or older riders).
I built up an ebike, cost me about the same -- but I've got full suspension, and 1000w instead of 900. Top speed is 44.7 km/h. (27.9 mph) Urban tires, 8" discs f/r, no fenders. In my early 60s, I don't need to ride in the rain, lol.
I don't like that you can't make changes to most of the settings. Also, there isn't the typical 4 bolts up front to add accessories such as a dual water bottle holder. For $200 more you can get the Rad Rover ebike, which does have the aforementioned options.
A lot of these $1300 to $1600 Non-fat tire commuter-class e-bikes are pretty vanilla in features and performance.....Making in-depths reviews pretty important (?)
Looks OK but I dont trust these direct from China companies...poor support. Also not a fan of the twist throttle. Ride1UP 500 model looks comparable and cheaper, plus is a US based company.
Oh no, what was that company thinking. I'd have to lean the bike and get on the water bottle holder. Old people can't always swing on, the limber is gone...
My wife and I purchased two KBO breeze bikes. I love mine , but my wife's bike is to big for her. She's 5'2 and the bike is way to large for her to maneuver. Beware.
KBO will not fix your bike if there’s a problem with it they do not honor their warranty they They will only advise you on what to do but if that doesn’t work you are screwed If you ask him for an address to send the bike to so that you will get it fixed by them they will not send you an address and completely ignore your text this company kBO is very untrustworthy.

I don't like that you can't make changes to most of the settings. Also, there isn't the typical 4 bolts up front to add accessories such as a dual water bottle holder. For $200 more you can get the Rad Rover ebike, which does have the aforementioned options.
A lot of these $1300 to $1600 Non-fat tire commuter-class e-bikes are pretty vanilla in features and performance.....Making in-depths reviews pretty important (?)
Going to see if I can get my hands on a rad city to compare the KBO to.. 🙂
Looks OK but I dont trust these direct from China companies...poor support. Also not a fan of the twist throttle. Ride1UP 500 model looks comparable and cheaper, plus is a US based company.
seems most of these ebikes speedometers are not programmed correctly when compared to GPS, almost always 10% slower than actual
Great #1
A lot of the parts r like the himiway
Motor is less powerful and display is very limited. Also don' think they offer two year warranty.
They took away about 120$ because I canceled my order within an hour of ordering it, and just because of that they took hundred$ off
Himiway skinny tire!
Or their FAT Tire All Terrain.
Oh no, what was that company thinking. I'd have to lean the bike and get on the water bottle holder. Old people can't always swing on, the limber is gone...
My wife and I purchased two KBO breeze bikes. I love mine , but my wife's bike is to big for her. She's 5'2 and the bike is way to large for her to maneuver. Beware.
Comes with a free nut remover
KBO will not fix your bike if there’s a problem with it they do not honor their warranty they They will only advise you on what to do but if that doesn’t work you are screwed If you ask him for an address to send the bike to so that you will get it fixed by them they will not send you an address and completely ignore your text this company kBO is very untrustworthy.
