    This is just my honest opinion on the Summit 1 and its capabilities from a fairly experienced mountain biker. Overall it’s a solid bike especially for the price point of your looking for a beginner friendly E-MTB.
    Video was shot at Balm Boyette on trail called Ridgeline near Tampa Florida.

    I have this bike now for 2 weeks, and my wife is using it to do some exercise. I bought this bike because it's very agile on road, and handles like a normal mtb. I have reduced the speed to 20miles, she is really enjoying the ride. I wish the display could tell cadence as well. And at ps1 the battery is amazing.

    how is having a rear hub motor and doing jumps? I know the forks say "not for jumping" but ya know... lol

      It’s definitely not as idea as a mid drive lol I’ve been able to jump it but you def need speed on your side to help pop you in the air, you def feel the weight in the rear

    Got the bike direct from Velotric a few days ago. Have an issue with the rear brake causing an error and the motor will not function - still working thru it with Velottric support (whose responses are hardly snappy). Hopefully it can be rectified. The bike does work if I disconnect the rear brake from the display, so I am able to ride it. Overall, I like the bike, BUT it doesn't do well on longer steep climbs - power drops quickly and the bike will only do about 5mph after the first 50 ft of hill (maybe why you didn't notice in your riding - some of those hills look steep but short). This happens regardless of the gear or level of power assist. I will say, like at the end of your video, the bike is a blast on the flats or small rolling hills. Kind of on the fence about keeping it though because I have a lot of hills where I am.

      Adjust the brake sensor, there is a 1.5mm hex screw, turn it clockwise

    I really want to get one, they seem like so much fun! The only bad thing is that I live in Sweden which means I can’t buy it because of the shipping. I’m just hoping that they’ll ship to Europe soon!

      Hopefully soon they will fix that and start shipping over there for you guys!

    I have the large in that orange color. Love the thing. I dont do a lot of trails ,but i take it down a lot of gravel roads and places. I'd never take my roadbike. Its fast and fun to just ride around anywhere.

      It’s such a blast ripping down gravel roads with it!

    Thanks for the video. Just bought one with your discount code! Can you make a specific recommendation on a fork upgrade?

    • @FrankenRick
      @FrankenRick  3 месяца назад

      Anything boost spacing and I would recommend upgrading to 36mm stanchion or lager that’s rated for e bike weight. Maybe increase travel to 130-140mm. I run fox stuff usually or rockshox

    Velotric doesnt honor their warranties. I would not purchase another bike from them
