    You’re the only one I found that tested this bike at full throttle and no pedaling, finally something I was looking for before I go purchase the bike, you are the only one that did this full test, thanks.

    This was my first e bike about three years ago. Bought three others since but still love to take this out time to time. Really nice bike

    I've been a cyclist for years, but I had never tried an electric bike until recently. I have to say, I'm now a convert! I tried out an Addmotor e-bike and was amazed at how much fun it was.

    • @venturelyfe
      @venturelyfe  Год назад

      Yes they can be really fun without you putting in much effort when riding or at all. Just throttle and go 🙂

    August 2023
    I bought one, Ecotric Cheetah 20, used it for almost a month and returned it for full refund. It may be okay for paved roads use but it sucked on gravel roads and smal hills and low difficulty trails. I have 3 other ebikes, all under $1,150 delivered, and this was the worst, at $730 delivered.
    Brakes are mechanical/cable and are noisy and weak, and wore down fast.
    Battery rattled too much in its holder and would break connection, causing lag, to total loss, and also sometimes shutting the bike controller off.
    The light minimally bright for off-road use.
    I would get 16 miles on a full charge with 95% throttle (very little pedaling, just to get up hills it would not handle).
    Customer service was helpful enough and didn't argue about the issues. Provided return label and said full refund would be issued. I used it for 3.5 weeks and put 110 miles on it.
    I would not recommend it, and instead would go with the Ridstar 20ah battery fat tire for $1,100 delivered. I have bought two of these, after testing one for 2 months. Amazon.
    Happy trails!

      I don't like hydraulic brakes myself. These are not off-road motorcycles. I wish they had come with street tires, but they're easily changed. Solid built, fast, and fun bikes, I would never sell mine. 😃

  • @Mark-qv4bn

    The ebike looks exactly like my aostirmotor A20. Probably millions of these bikes come out of the same factory, with different stickers. These bikes are well worth the money, and built like a tank. 100% happy with mine. Very nice.

    • @christopherowens2635
      @christopherowens2635 9 месяцев назад

      They look identical. But Aostirmotor is a better choice because the motor is faster. A20 will go 25mph maxed at full charged.

      Hi bob, this might be four months too late…… I am from Wollongong, and I bought a bike very similar to this but silver. I am 6’4” and a big unit and I fit on mine easy peasy. I bought a fortis fold up 20” fat tyre bike and got it for $799 plus $90 delivery. I saw the same bike advertised by dick smith yesterday for $699. Love my bike, except for the seat. Bought a comfier seat. Sorry if I’m four months late.

    This is good to start with 500 W but if you’re looking for a little more speed you need 750 W 48 V a little more power a little more speed you can do that quarter mile in less than a minute guaranteed but of course you’re gonna pay a little more

    • @venturelyfe

      750w is cool but this 500w I have is good enough for me. Going up hills is where I use it the most on electric mode. I try to ride for excercise mainly but will mix it up here and there.
