    Tip for guys considering this dual motor bike, be mindful of what he says about adding a second battery. That's what I did.
    I had a spare Rad Rover battery. Bought a balancer on Amazon ($45), mounted the battery cradle on a piece of black-painted plywood, mounted that on the rear bike rack, voilà I have almost double the battery power now.
    You need that extra battery because of how we all ride these things, THROTTLE-ONLY BABY! (Side note: bike manufacturers and retailers realize this, so they are now coming out with "dual battery" bikes, or selling the bits you need to add a second battery to the bike they are selling. E.g. Ride1Up sells the balancer, wiring, mounting plate (cradle), etc. for its Revv 1 moped bike (that looks like a motorcycle). It is designed to be a throttle-only bike, as evident that peddling is via a one-speed chainring (obviously the pedals are there to keep LEOs off your back).
    On this bike which has dual 1000 watt motors, it will eat that battery faster than Pac Man eats those dots.
    Using my own experience of late, my Hanevear H100 is a dual 750 watt motor e-bike. But it has only one battery, which is larger than the typical battery. I made a 20 mile round-trip with two famous (or "notorious" IMO) San Francisco hills each way. Rode throttle-only the entire way. When I arrived about 1/2 mile from my house the battery was on one-bar life support. By the time I was at the top of the hill where I live, the battery was DOA at my basement front door, and I do mean totally dead.
    With the second battery I installed I will now get around 40 miles throttle-only range.
    Note: Ignore what e-bike sellers advertise about mileage/range. IMO those numbers are figuratively with a 40 mph wind pushing your back, PAS 3, and conservative use of the throttle. On a bone stock bike using throttle-only you are gonna get maybe 30 miles range, if you're lucky. But remember, we don't ride these bikes to where the battery is totally dead when you get home. (Unless you don't mind being wrong in your calculations 9 times out of 10.)
    So if you don't ride your e-bike to where the battery is totally DOA at your house, lop off about 10 miles from that number because their advertised number was arrived at by riding the bike until the battery is totally dead.
    Bonus Tip: If you buy a second battery on Amzn, get one that comes with a cradle that you can mount on the bike, or on a piece of wood or plastic like I did.
    Critical Tip: You can mix amps, but NOT volts. What this means: if your bike has a 52 volt battery, the second battery too must be 52 volts. The amps on each battery does not matter. E.g., if your bike has a 48 volt battery, and you have a spare 52 volt battery, sorry, you cannot use the two on the same system.

      @@sammiller-i7y I use a number of factors to determine the overall quality of an e-bike. For example, the preciseness of the metal welds.
      I was NOT impressed with the frame welding on the Meelod. Looked really sloppy.
      Another factor, I have read that customers were dissatisfied with Meelod's customer service.
      Based on this and other info I bought the Hanevear instead. I'm really happy with it. Of my five e-bikes I like it the best.
      And you can't beat the price nowadays. I got mine for $1288, free delivery, and no sales tax.

    Meelod is a good brand. I just rode my meelod max 97 miles from Minneapolis Minnesota to Cumberland Wisconsin. The only thing that bothered me was management on battery life every 40 miles or so, but keeping PA on the lowest I was able to travel pretty far on a low charge 20% or so. I did have to walk in the dead dark of Wisconsin about 3 miles left out of my 41 miles luckily when my battery died my taillight and headlight stayed active so I was able to ward off bears and such. Great bike I should have considered charge time so that’s on me.

      Did you do a bike camping trip? This is something I want to do. I'm thinking of getting a small 800 watt inverter generator to recharge the battery and even just to sit for an hour for the battery to get enough charge to get those last few miles in would be worth it. The small generators weigh around 25lbs

      Here in San Francisco these dual motor bikes are essential if one lives on any of the hills, especially at the top (like I do).
      Another requirement for San Francisco riding, a second battery, because these dual motor bikes devour battery power, especially if one rides like 99.9% of us do, throttle-only, "flooring it" at every intersection. Even with two batteries, that kind of riding may get a "useful range" of about 40 miles.*
      Dual battery also required if one wants to go on an extended ride such as across the Golden Gate Bridge and back.
      Luckily, adding a second battery is quite easy, and made less expensive with the debuting of batteries w/ cradle and cable in the $300 to $400 range.
      Bonus Tip: Or one can simply purchase, e.g., a Meelod dual-motor, dual-battery bike for $1600!
      *Like our host says, the smart move is to not always ride in dual motor mode. Certainly on the flatlands one can get along just fine in PAS 3 and single motor mode.

    How many pedal assist levels are on this bike? The bike I have uses 5 but in pas 1 it goes about 6mph and when I'm trying to pedal in lowest gear I feel like I'm peddling the bike and getting no assist. Do you think I should tinker with the settings and move it up so there's more assist in pas 1? It would be nice to cruise along in pedal assist 1 without doing all the work and not feel like I'm going so slow that I'll fall over

    I had no idea my bike had a walk feature until I was trying to turn it off in the dark with my gloves on. Then it took off on me and I see "walk" on the display. I still have no idea how I did it 🤷🏻‍♂️. I just built a ramp to get up and down my small staircase. It would come in handy getting it in and out the house. (Amyet G60) incase anyone was curious. It would be nice if these bikes came with all the info you need but they don't. At least give a QR code that brings you to that info. I shouldn't have to search the internet to find out how my bike works

    I suspect all these bike makers (more like "assemblers") are getting the frame and other components from the same parts houses. I say this because this bike in just about all the main bits looks the same as my Hanevear H100, including the battery, frame, etc.
    Of my five e-bikes I like the Hanevear the most, because it is an AWD. IMO once one has experienced the performance of an AWD (aka "dual motors"), in particular the speed and torque, one will never go back to a single motor. I know I won't.
    From my surreal memory banks: I literally was in the basement just now filling my tires with flat out. After that I came inside the house and watched this video to see you get a flat tire and mention Flat Out.

    It's kinda sad, so much potential with two motors. Rotors are too small. It goes 35 on a full charge. So once you wear the battery down just a bit, it will be like every other folding ebike. Probably worse because with two motors, that battery won't last long at all. Can't argue with the price tho.

I told them I was considering their ebike and the Hanevear 100 which is also dual motor/ AWD. When I mentioned that Hanevear didn't charge a delivery charge, they wrote back and offered me a $50 discount on delivery. When I tried to apply both discounts, Amazon would only accept one so I took the $100 discount and still got a great deal. If Meelod isn't offering the $100 discount or the above code doesn't work anymore. Write to Meelod and tell them what did. At the very least you may get a $50 discount on delivery or maybe more. Every little bit helps.

      @maximumchargeEV I want to see what happens, good or bad. That way, I can be prepared for what problems I might run into. I dont think the company would be upset. It wasn't anything negative about the bike. Just a negative downfall of riding a bike
