- As stylish eBikes go it's pretty hard to beat The Scout which is called the Cheetah in the U.S. I got my hands on one for 24 hours and here is my thoughts on this very stylish ebike.

Throughly enjoyed your review Grant. Love the look of this bike. Cheers, Craig- Gore
I know that this is an old video, but I REALLY like seeing this bike ride on these kind of trails! Hopefully you can do more trail rides on this bike in the future! 😁
Hi Grant, I visited NZ recently and saw some interesting electric cruiser bikes. I couldn't believe it when I found your excellent review of the scout. It's only 6 weeks ago that we were in Arrowtown on a 4x4 tour with Matt from Offroad 4x4 Queenstown, he lives in Arrowtown, a great tour which included Skippers Canyon.
I'm keen to source a Scout/Cheetah in UK but as yet there are no dealers here. There is one in Germany called Varaneo, I'm not yet sure of the motor power but I expect it will be less powerful than your 750 test bike due to European regulations.
Thanks again for your great review video. Steve.
Check out 'Regal electric bikes'. They have a bike called the Regal Fatty not exactly the same as the bike in the video but they are based in Cornwall UK 🤙
I didn't notice a rear brake/tail light under the saddle or on back fender? with a suspension fork option and an integrated brake/taillight this bike would be dope. For the lack of said items It gets an B+ or 4.3 of 5 imo. Nice video and beautiful area you live in, thanks mate.
Just got mine, and I am in love with this beast. Changed few things like the 44t crankset to 52t and the seat... This bike is gorgeous
I wanna get one myself but I fear I'm too tall ... 6.2 or 188cm .... what's ur height?
Is this bike has a throttle button?
@@SteveL11 The Right handle Bar has the throttle
This type has 20inch version now, you can visit the website.
Looks like a great place to live and enjoy a sweet ride!
Nice photo-bomb, very smooth.
nice bike !! but think it needs a retro round speed display ,the rectangular display looks out of place ;O )
I have had one of these for about a year and a half that I bought direct from the Chinese factory for $875. I put Apehanger handlebars on it and the leather saddle bags from my motorcycle and turned it into the coolest bike on Catalina Island. I built a trailer for it to pull my oldest Golden Retriever and my two younger Goldens run along side it.
Do you have a link? Alibaba shows 500+ for shipping
@@haroldbuchanan1284 the name of the company is Changzhou Yunshine Import Export Co LTD. I think I paid around $200 for shipping.
@@MacGoreth When I got mine they were only just beginning to import them into the U.S. so I think I got lucky and got one before they became popular. But $4,000 is outrageous. They go for $2,300 in California. What part of the world are you in?
@@seanmcaleavy2369 Hey Sean, I am in the States. Wicked Thumbs sell them for almost $4,000. I just purchased mine directly from the manufacturer. Not at a great deal as you did, but still a discount. Fenders, rack, bag etc included. About to buy a second one to send do my bike shop in my country.
@@MacGoreth Cool, have fun. I built a really cool sidecar for mine. I'd post a picture but you can't really do that on RUclips.
I have a fat-tire e-bike and love it. Did some additions and "adjusted" its' looks to suit my tastes and I am really happy with the way it turned out. I really love the civi Cheetah, and a bike shop in my area carries them but.... no suspension. This is the only thing that prevents me from buying this bike. I am in PA., and our roads are bad to say the least! The fat-tires are not enough to make for a fairly good ride. My current bike has front susp. and I installed a sprung seat which makes the ride pretty good even on the rougher roads. Really cool bike though!
Hello William.This is Vivi from BisekCycle, this model is our exclusive product. And it now has been improved and has the suspension front fork . W e can also assemble the absorb seat tube for you if you need. You can contact with me for more details about the Cheetah. My email address is vivi@bisekcycle.com
I love my Cheetah. I did put on a shock absorbing seat post which is a game changer on more rough terrain. It performs much better than I anticipated and holds a charge fantastically. I ride mine about 15 miles a day with ease in a hilly terrain. The peddle assist can also run separate from the throttle which is nice in you need to take the edge off of a very steep hill. I highly recommend this bike.
Very proud of our Cheetah, best seller in Revi Bikes, your choice is correct.
@@revibikes I wish I could get it in Europe 😖 but I can only get it from china... like u guys...
@@larsbee I think there is a French supplier, search for Gorille Retro Fat Tyre Electric Bike, I think "Gorille" is the rebrand there.
Great video. I lived in Christchurch 20 years ago
Good for you.
Hella nice bike. Imma get one!
Great review and yet another one that gave it a thumbs up. Comparing the Cheetah (Scout) here in California to a Michael Blast Greaser Classic. Tough choice. Which do you like better? Thanks, John
Haven’t tried the other bike so can’t really comment. Cheers
OMG I love this bike. NZ is brilliant!
Yeah it’s nice to be able to live in a Multi-Million dollar town. Lucky for some, but the the majority of N.Zers don’t live like this I’m afraid.
Sounds smooth
Nice bike. It would have been better to me if it had a retro 3 in one round analog looking gauge.
Very nice bike
Hi Grant, I got my Cheetah about a month ago (750W motor) and I love it. You're dear right about the questions. I went out 2 days and stopped to call my friend....
Me : Hey man ! I'll meet you in front of Sam's in 5 minutes !
Him : OK. I'll be there.
That's when Person 1 (post-phone call) stops and asks about the bike - where I bought it, the price, saying how cool it looks etc... This goes on for 2 minutes and they leave. I start preparing to leave again and Person 2 stops in to tell me how nice the design is and asks if it is powered. We have a short discussion on electric bikes and the retro design and he leaves. I'm really antsy and figure I'm going to miss my friend when Person number 3 stops just as I'm getting on the bike.. He says " I just wanted to tell you how cool your bike looks ! " I thank him and head out. I make it to Sam's and call my friend. Luckily, he was running late too. I get comments and questions all the time. At the moment I have the only retro-style ebike in the area that I've seen, but I think that is about to change. Be prepared to be the center of attention when you stop depending on where you live.
You going to have to allow yourself extra time to go anywhere!
@@GrantJ So I've discovered !
Hello, Why twice the price of the vivibike and where to buy in europe ?
Nice vid, thank you! Do you perhaps know ifi available in SA?
Hi there I would like to get this bike for my son in law but I want to know how heavy of a person can fit on the spike. Is it suited for people over 300 pounds?
Hard to remember what cruising is like....plus it’s 1 degree and rainy here today.
I agree this is a cool looking bike. I see it under a few labels. Who is having a give a way? That is my fastest road to a fat bike.
How is it going up hill?
Everyone needs this bike.
How much it cost on India home delivery. Please mention
DESDE ARGENTINA FELICITACIONES POR TU BICI CHOPPER SALUDOS
Needs Indian style crecent moon Handle bars to complete the Early Motorcycle styling
Hi! I am 6’4” - is this bike big enough? Thx!
New Zealand looks some place. One day. One day.
In Canada this bike is called the Cafe Racer. Sold by Krafty Bikes
I really like mine!
Such a nice bike. Whats the headlamp like?
headlamp is strong and has both high and low beams.
Dang I like this bike. If it only had a small V-twin aircooled gas engine with the electric power would be tops. I love the Early vintage bike designs. Could you hide in or add another battery where the awesome fake tank is? It only goes 25 or 27 mph? That's too damn slow.
The most an ebike can go is 28 mph as a class 3 which is fast considering most ebikes go up to 20-25 mph. You have some ebikes that can go up to 50 mph like the Delfast Top 3.0 and some that can go above 60 even going into the 90 Territory but at that point you would have to register those ebike in your state.
how do you feel the 750W model compares to the 500W model or even the 350W, is it worth the extra money?
Didn’t get a chance to compare but the 750w had more than enough power so would guess the 500w would great also.
Sar bike price tell me
I'm gonna get avintage look e bike soon. And it's probably b this one. The greaser is very similar. But too clunky, chunky and heavy. Vintage electric do amazing bikes. Slightly better. But they want at least £5000.
This is very good value for money. You get a great looking bike. It goes anywhere. And it saves your legs. I have a health condition that limits my energy greatly. So 75% of time I will use its electric motor.
But for £2300 or so. Very good bike.
It has a ww2 Germany army look.
If u rode this in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, u would not get anywhere. Cause folk would regularly be stopping you with questions, compliments.
What pressure would you recommend in tyres
400 PSI mate
Can you take the battery out to charge inside the office?
Battery does not come out easily, meant to stay in bike
Where is this wonderful place?
Bike price tell me sir and bike give me
Thanks for a fantastic report. Nice place. Where is that?

Looks like a bobber!
wowww!
If these guys would do one with ape hangers handle bars it would be better than the way over priced wicked thumb which is way over priced no matter how they give excuses why I ordered a areil rider and will be reviewing it soon if you want a code for one let me know thanks for this video
where do you live, I love that town ;-) I will move there in a minute ... my kinda place
wish this was available in Canada
Look up Cafe or Kafe Racer ebike for Canada it's really samebike just different name
Hey, that looks familiar. Also tested the European version on my channel, not that professional and as elaborate as you but nevertheless :)
Can you link your review? I'm really interested!
@@Chorochronchotor Hello Dominik, not sure if the link will go through the spam filter, but I will try. Here is the English test ride: ruclips.net/video/QNHQrqozb14/видео.html and here is the German one: ruclips.net/video/TOTwzEYMmCs/видео.html
@@BenalRida It went through just fine... Tkank you so much!
Top speed?
Motor!Motor!Motor! IT IS ELECTRIC
it is actually sold by a Chinese company called Bisek for 900 USD ... I liked the design of this Leopard ebike and could not find anybody selling it in good ole Europe and after years of being on the look out it still ain't nowhere to be found.... sigh
Wow that’s typical of everything in this country. $900USD = $1500NZD as of 2023. But they sell it here for $5000NZD.
Update: Actually a quick search reveals your incorrect. Alibaba is selling something similar to this for $900USD, but it’s not this bike. The Chetah is sold through retail outlets for around $2500USD, which is equivalent to around $4000NZD.
@@fabmanly1070you won’t get them for anywhere near $900 US delivered - well over double that by the time you ad taxes, huge frieght, GST, import fees.
wait, so u dont even need to pedal, just hold the accelerator and it goes????
Yup you can use either the pedals or just the accelerator
@@GrantJ that's insane!
The throttle can be set to multiple speed limits or “99” which is open. Fully open throttle, this bike cruises at 45Kph. Sucks the battery fairly fast using throttle only.
Seems like you're going very fast oh, are you watching for little animals crossing the path? Cool bike, not so cool price.
and where do you go get coffee ?lol
It wouldn't be a good ride without a coffee stop, this one was at a cafe called Good Day
Same bike can be found for $2399. It’s a Chinese company that supplies them to the US. Don’t let these people rip you off. Search for “Rivi cheetah”
No removeble battery?? Bad!
it is removable, just not as easy as most
Price is?
+/- 5000 euros
Copyright wise The Scout name belongs to Indian i would Like to see if this could be a copyright infringement lawsuit
Nonsense. There's lots of bikes out there called Scout . Off the top of my head,Huffy, Raleigh and BMX, all have Scout models. I bet there's a lot more
The price is double than in the US .. why?
New Zealand dollar. When you convert the currency it is roughly the same
In the UK this bike is available through cooler.bike/
They are alot of fun and always turns heads.
I am from India
HEY !! YOUR ON WRONG SIDE OF THE ROAD !!! TEXAS.
They cost too much when they dont mention the price. Even as tested price.
i do like the design of the ebike, i would like it even more if it had a more retro looking display, like a "fake" analog
4995...they can't be serious...
eBay for
Helmet on the head and flip flops ! What the hell - - - -->>
New Zealand has mandatory helmet laws.
Just get rid of the OFF-ROAD-Tires.........Off road tires on a cruiser.?????????.Paul
Flip flops are a major no. Not very bright at all
That kind of money just go out and buy a motorcycle.
You seem to be doing a lot of peddling but ; then i suppose after all it it is a bicycle !
Show the real speed!!, that thing is slow as hell
