That was an awesome in depth review. Living here in the Philippines and all the E-bike reviews are in Filipino language. Thank God I still have my Amazon account and they ship to the Philippines. This will be my first E-bike. You should have gotten a 100K or more views for this video in my opinion.
@@UncleMo65 Thank you so much for the kind words and thanks for taking the time to comment. Feel free to use the link in the description if it makes sense for you. I hope you enjoy your new ride. :):)
I have two questions, is it a thumb throttle or hand? Also when you start using the throttle is it very sensitive(meaning the motor starts right away) or does it take a second to turn on
13:40 28mph is 41 feet per second. 28*5280/3600. You said the parking spots were 9ft wide, so that's a breaking distance of almost 54 feet. This was under ideal conditions. It's dry you had a lot of upfront knowledge this braking event was going to happen. You consciously knew to put your weight back, which often does not happen in a panic break. I would increase the stopping distance to at least 7 of those spots, making it 63 feet.
Great Job on the Video/Information, best 1 out there, have my interest in this for sure...bought the Hoverfly in July (which I Love) and want another e-bike, why?, just because!
@@mikerochester Both Qlife and ActBest are linked business I contacted their number and confirmed this. Basically either bike brand will perform the same.
I have watched this bike on Amazon but there have been some that had issues with bad welding such as the fork getting welded backwards. I'm sure that's a fluke on some but based off the bike seeing it in action and close up it looks to be a solid bike.
While you can ride this off-road one thing to note is the rims and the fork are carbon steel. Just be careful not to go overboard or accidents can happen. I am really impressed with the acceleration on this bike but if you truly want to commute for distance you'll have to factor in weight and PAS mode setting to maximize your battery. I figure about 20 miles tops with PAS and 10 to 12 throttle if you are around 220 to 230 weight.
@@mrgreen2769 The one I have didn't have any issues like that. I don't even know how you could weld the fork on backwards...lol. Often times they spin the fork around the opposite direction for shipping I suppose maybe someone can get confused not sure.
Just a note, ActBest and Qlife are the same manufacturers. It's interesting how they rip consumers off over a different bike color. The vibrant colors like orange, red and white sell $30.00 more and the ridiculous price they tack on just to add two plastic fenders and a rack. I'm sure these bikes are nice budget ebikes but they're going to squeeze out every dime they can out of you for slight cosmetic changes. The frame does look solid and also light enough should you just want to ride the bike without e assistance. Most people confuse the actual range on these ebikes and don't take this into consideration that they add that to your average riding without e power. I can easily put 10 to 15 miles a day on my regular mountain bike but if done right you can extend that distance via pedal assist.
@mikerochester I think they manufacture these bikes in different locations. Likely someone smoking weed got ahold of those few bike when it was welded together. Kinda nuts it made it past quality assurance inspections.
@@mikerochester your audience isn't only american brother. In much of Europe these types of units are capped, prior to sale, to 25kmh/15mph to be considered legal without any form of insurance/licence. The same with the electric scooters
Thanks for sharing their many e-bikes out there to actually ride them and get a feel for it It's really tough to tell which ones are best. Believe there's a Qlife on there for just over $200 as well but you also have to consider if it's an upgraded bike or free shipping.
@@VirtualPlayer0187 Yeah e-bikes are pretty expensive to ship. I noticed Amazon has $200 shipping often for them. And the ones are free shipping I normally see an additional $200 markup.
@mikerochester Well I really wanted the 1000 watt orange color but sold out the night I purchased and had to settle with black I'm sure they'll get more. Qlife website actually lists this bike over $600.00 so yeah you are getting a good deal off Amazon.

Excellent presentation on all the features of this ebike and its quality. I love the way you've presented filming of the rider. Puts you right there.
Thanks I really appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback :)

Your review is very professional👍
Can't ask for much more at that price !
@@matthewyeager7662 Yeah it's priced to sell.
I have two questions, is it a thumb throttle or hand? Also when you start using the throttle is it very sensitive(meaning the motor starts right away) or does it take a second to turn on
I show both in the video the thumb throttle is on the right hand side and I do a 20 MPH throttle only test showing you acceleration.
The one I ordered is 26in tires is mine different than this one?
@@g.s777 I don't remember if this was a newer model but you can look on Amazon and do a comparison.
I am trying to fit a fender and bike rack! Do you think it will work on this bike?
Not sure, are you getting it from the company? I'm sure they make an aftermarket one.
Can I cut the speed limiter do you know where the wire is for this bike
@@ttv-fishy-goatedgoated8248 sorry I have no idea about that
HI nick trout!
@@shibamuted what are you asking

Did you use the front brakes?
@@83tonebone I always use my rear and front brakes

@@Shaft827 Thanks for the kind words And I get that once you have one it's hard not to get another...lol
Feel free to use my link if you like. :)
@mikerochester neighbors complaining I was going too fast at 20 mph...lol...love to blow by them at 28 mph...ha ha
I love you nick trout
@@shibamuted don't know what you mean
Hi can you review actbest race 27.5? 😊
Thank you
@@ChanNado-f4t It's possible they send me one for a review.
@@mikerochester Both Qlife and ActBest are linked business I contacted their number and confirmed this. Basically either bike brand will perform the same.
Not much difference in the ActBest bikes.
How is it offload on trails?
@@VicMKV In my video I took it off-road a little bit but obviously this is not an off-road bike
@mikerochester thank you.
Think I'm buying this bike now thanks
@@83tonebone nice.....feel free to use my link in the description if you like. :)
are your top speeds in the 21st gear??
@@gigglefart2340 Top speed is dictated by the pedal assist the motor of the bike. PAS five
where is this i wanna live here

Can you hack the speedometer and increase the speed?
Actually it already is it comes as a class three at 28 mph max speed
@@mikerochester, by any chance you wouldn’t need a license for that bike right ?
@17fsakes Not sure I understand the question You don't need a license for a pedal bike.
Can you share more information?

@@sickbailey21 Appreciate the information but I still don't understand the question. I guess clarifying would help.
My bike came with welding wrong is there any way to fix it
Not sure I understand, can you share more information.
@ The front frame came welded wrong so I have the bike and I can’t use it I sent the seller a message about it and I have to wait and see
@grandmasterpro9742 I understand have now. I've never heard of that happening but hopefully they get back to you soon.
Funhand 21 speed 21.7mph with lots of features at less than half that price at Amazon
After finishing video...yes at a price around 200 dollars funhang 1000w it even Bhaskar a horn loud as hell

As of this date only Black, Silver and White are available.
