Enjoyed your review - very thorough. Question for you. With a class 3 bike, do you ever run into problems with paved trails that, in theory, do not allow class 3? Providing you behave and are respectful of people on foot, is it likely that one would be singled out by any type of enforcement folks?
So long as you ride courteously and under any speed limit, you’re not likely to get into trouble. It helps if your ebike looks like an ebike and not a dirt bike (Surron, Talaria, Swind etc.), sit-on scooter (Vespa etc.) or motorcycle.
I've no t had any problems, although that's certainly my anecdotal experience. As another commenter mentioned, follow the rules, set the speed limit if needed and you in-theory should be fine, but it largely depends on where you live and the enforcement in those areas. -Mike
the fenders front and back are mm from the wheel so metallic ones that dont bend every time you fold unfold or hit something ...they follow the arc of the wheel so precisely providing protection ....more sturdy and durable..plastic ones gets bended and you have to readjust thenm often....everything on this bike is so well thought out...bulky sturdy frame that definitely gonna last..speeds ...front suspension..unbreakable rear rack...on this category i dont think you can find a more perfect one...
Inportant to note for your commenters.. this bike has the capacity to go to class 3..but it ships as a class 2.. and its embroided sticker on the bike makes it clear its a class 2 even though it does peak past 750w but only when put in class 3 mode
Nice, but the new 2025 California Law says No class 3 eBikes and no Peak power over 750 watts, other than that it's a good win in other states other then Southern California.

Would you recommend upgrade to transmission?
Thats a fair point, and yes, some will prefer a metal fender!

Good call! We'll make sure to point that out in future videos. Cheers! -Mike
