I'm glad you addressed those issues. There's so many videos promoting and reviewing e-bikes, but they don't mention the drawbacks of actually owning one and using it on a daily basis.
They should make one lighter with a detachable battery
Please review the Rad Power Bike line-up! I have a Radrunner2
E bikes are not worth it in the USA which has shitty roads infrastructure and disrectful people
More Pros than Cons…I use mine to ride to work…3 miles one way…6miles round trip. I sold my car, and now share a SUV with my wife. I ride 2 or 3 times a week…I now save on a car payment, insurance, gas, maintenance, etc. I also ride for enjoyment…ride in neighborhood, and will use in future for groceries & ride on trails. I have a folding ebike, and can fit in a SUV cargo area… Will use a 40 gallon tote to place in, with a handle & wheels…to keep from falling over.
68lbs folding bike? Bruh my Pace 350.2 is heavy enough as it is.
I still don´t really get the appeal of ebikes. I bought one for my dad because he´s almost 60 and his knees hurt, so he can´t keep up on bike rides. But ebikes are limited to 25kmh (nothing you can´t illegally override, but still). Consistent 25kmh is easily achievable on an analogue bicycle as well. And for commuting i prefer a scooter. Similarly priced, but lighter, smaller (fits even in the smallest elevators), and also legally limited to 25 kmh.
The drawbacks aren't really that big of a deal. When you bought an expensive thing, you bought and expensive thing fully knowing you bought it. That's your responsibility.
What I'd consider to be drawbacks to using one would be how the heft can affect your speed and output on an incline when the battery dies. And since its an e-bike, the lower the charge, the lower the output. Which would bring you to the first drawback. This would lead us to the third drawback, which is range. How far can it go? Since it's an e-bike, it's not really meant for casual use. If you live near your workplace, even a normal bike would do. So the purpose of an E-bike would be to cover more distance with less time and effort. Kind of like a Motorcycle.
And since you can still carry it. You can avoid the bike getting stolen.
I was hoping he would shit on these because I’m to broke to get one, but the drawback is it’s so nice other people want it
I use the throttle and walk my aventure right up the stairs 👍🏻
You are doing well in the us. in Germany you are hardly allowed to do anything. For example, maximum 250 watt motor and 15 miles. If you want more, you need a special driver licence. And other vehicles are completely banned. And the allowed are very expensive…
I bought a conversion kit for my bike for $87 and it still works like a charm to this day it goes about 15-25mph but you can go about 30 if you upgrade the battery and get better tires
Come on man the lights can’t be considered as pros. You can have them on a regular bike as well
They're pretty great. except the only issue i have is range and price. and having to spend more $$$ to get more range. Im thinking of switching over to 2 stroke next time.
E-Bikes are awesome to commute with ! just lock them up and remove the battery
250w is the max in the uk
Stealing mine might put you in a casket…
To fix those problems I would recommend the Tenways cgo600pro E Bike.
Also the batteries are garbage that start to degrade almost instantly. Then you need a new one after a couple seasons. They average $500.
I’m a big guy, I love biking flat surfaces and obviously as like everyone love downhill biking as well, if there is any type of divot or bump or hill I can’t even get close to going over it, I have to get off and walk my bike up it, would this bike be a good alternative to only being used for uphill
