Looks are awesome, and glad to hear the suspension is very good. It definitely looks like a bike Tom Cruise would ride in a futuristic movie. It's cool that the vertical beam hides the front pulley and suspension. Upgrades are going to be limited without changing the appearance, but it is what it is. Perhaps Powerful Lithium will do two batteries; one taking the place of the stock battery and one for the triangle space, then parallel them to get the amps. The mode programming with no throttle, except in off road, is weird. The power levels seem like they could be pretty satisfying for most situations. I love the Seven Hills, thought it should be noted that a stock powertrain Spark Bandit had no trouble with them. Hmm, 34% battery left? Let's do some math! Battery is 1920 watt hours total, and you used 66% which is 1267.2Wh. So, 1267.2Wh divided by 43 miles gives us 29.47 watt hours per mile, and that means a real world range at this rate of 65.15 miles per charge.
First off, this bike looks like it transforms into something else, and I love it lol!! Such an awesome and unique design, please make a video showing inside of the vertical section, I'm so curious how the rear shock is situated in there. CLEANNNNN!! Hopefully they work out the bugs in a firmware update See y'all soon!
Although I already have an ebike ( the Ridstar, the most value for a low end ebike, i love it ) , I want to get this one and paint it metallic purple and silver so it looks like Shockwave the Decipticon.
Real Range is 40-50 Miles. I road mine from Lincoln Nebraska to Ceresco Nebraska (25 Miles) and had about 25% Battery left. Lot of up hills though. Actually have another battery so I have two batteries so when I rode to Ceresco and back I rode there and then I started writing back a little ways and then I swap batteries and finish my trip.
I'm not sure I would recommend this eBike just yet. You're an early adopter, so you found out about the junk headlight mount. Did you find a way to fix it? Did Alex get back to you about it defaulting back to PAS3? I'm thinking maybe that is a sly way to instantly go back to Class 3 mode in case you get dinged by The Man and asked to prove it's Class 3. I think it needs street tires or at least the CST Scout dual purpose ones and full fenders. Those Scouts would work fine on the street at 20 psi, then air down to 20 psi for offroad and re-inflate with your pocket sized Li-Ion inflator when you go back on road. If you have to commute on this and you get rained on, what good is the IPX7 battery, when you're getting roosted front and back with road juice the whole way? I have a Juiced HyperScrambler2 on the way. It definitely doesn't look as cool as this one, but it seems like they've got all the little things ironed out. (ex. headlight mount)
Well done. What did you not like about the tires? You mentioned that they are cheap which i can tell but you also mentioned about a battery upgrade. How would you go about that?
Still trying to decide if I like it or not, so different. Mostly like it. Surprised to hear you don't like CST tires. In my experience they are by far the best quality tires I've used. They are light durable and consistently round which is more than I can say about anything else in the 20" fat tire world.
It’s definitely futuristic design, compact and eye catching. Richie you will surely get more girls to stop you and ask what is that? next thing you know you have a date.😜❤🤣
The mistake he made you always have time check the bike out first. Because he was in a rush mistakes always occur you do not check out everything everybody you have time make for yourself this won't happen.😮
@@hornetbanditnyc_43 have extra time for the bike and you check LCD screens. Check the light make sure everything is working tight bolts you have time for all of this before you ride.

Jesus Paul my head hurts lol.
I appreciate the review. I am considering getting one of these and it's nice to have a unbiased review so I can make a better, more informed decision

It's smart to have a spare. Too bad it's so expensive.

Seems like all the reviews i see on this bike has trouble with loose headlights thanks for sharing.
I took the headlight off and then tighten the 2 bottom screws at the base..now the headlight is rock solid.
Easy fix david.
Good honest review. Not much to fix your findings by Async, then an even more desirable ebike to buy. Good video.
Thank u bro

Tires have no grip and future upgrade with powerfullithium.
@@hornetbanditnyc_43 looking forward to the powerful lithium upgrade. I'm definitely interested in that. Been on my A1 pro for two weeks now
I leave that up to powerfullithium..the tires are ok.

Ur right zero they grew on me.
It's a nice and different looking bike🎉❤
Nice review! Definitely a unique look!

Thanks 4 the review bro!, it helped me a lot 2 make a decision
Awesome review!!
Thank u bro.

Lol
Excellent review
Great Video. I need one!
does riding this kind of bike require a license??
No
Is the bike short person friendly? What is the seat height?
It's not for short people 🤣 But you can always change the tires.
I’m 5,5 if ur atleast that u should be good
33 inches.
I'm 5'6 no issues 33 inches from the ground to the top of the seat.
33 inches in height.
The bike is notorius for power failures. They really need to lower the price on this bike.
I haven't experienced that but I will keep a look our if that happens..thank u.
The mistake he made you always have time check the bike out first. Because he was in a rush mistakes always occur you do not check out everything everybody you have time make for yourself this won't happen.😮
It's a new bike first launch. Nothing is ever without its issues. But not a deal breaker for me.
@@hornetbanditnyc_43 have extra time for the bike and you check LCD screens. Check the light make sure everything is working tight bolts you have time for all of this before you ride.
@johnhigh2348 already did..thank u.
