Aventon app has Ride Tune which lets you customize torque, assistance, and response

Tons and tons of options for this bike, with mounting points everywhere
Mokwheel Basalt

BLINKERS
What is it like to ride?
Ride1UP Prodigy V2
Feels like you are lance armstrong. Middrive motors still give you all the feeling of a bike ride. Maybe this is your exercise, but you just canβt keep up with someone, or maybe the hills are a bit too much these days.
Brose middrive, German made with 90n.m
*explain middrives*
Class 3, up to 28mph with pedal assistance only
30-50 mile range
About half the price of other middrive bikes from big brands.
High quality and very affordable
Velotric Summit 1
Looks awesome
Fast, smooth, versatile with cadence or torque sensor
Class 3, 28MPH but I have been getting up to 30 or 31 even with just throttle
IPX7 waterproof battery
70 miles of range
120mm suspension with kenda tires and shinamo hydraulic disc brakes

am one of those guys that feel he wants the best, of every thing,but am 72 now,and what a well rounded e-bike,that being said i need to ride on the street legally,unless am a illegal than it doesn't matter, i want a cop free harassment bike,i liked those bikes but something is missing,help
I'd like it to finance if expensive
i just saw new e bike cargo from aimos, big front tyre and small rear tyre. its more better and practical between same front and rear tyre?
Normal tires is better
Segway please
Why would a apartment have something against e-bikes but not a bike that doesnβt make sense at all π
Any Velotric Ebike is a solid choice. I just purchased the breeze 1, very happy with this bike
Mike, I've been going back and forth between the Mokwheel Tarmac and the Velotric Summit 1. I'm leaning towards the Tarmac. What do you think? Which one is the better bang for your buck??
Donβt buy an ebike until the battery technology gets better right now they are to dangerous to be in your house π you will have to store them in your house to keep the battery πͺ« from freezing π₯Ά or getting to hot π₯΅. Battery fires are real you will kick 𦡠yourself in the A if you burn π₯ down your house π .
You donβt need a 40 or 50 mile per hour Ebike if so just buy a motorcycle ποΈ plus e-bikes that are that fast are illegal on most roads they are considered motorcycle ποΈ plus you canβt ride them on trails
I ride the Ride1up Prodigy v2 to commute every day. I love it with panniers but no way is ANY bike over 60lbs a βnaturalβ feeling bike.
Dude, why are you promoting this short cut lifestyle to to the lazy, fat, computer game playing, mobile phone addicted soft boys? I am sure you never got fit by taking short cuts. The whole concept of needing a push uphill goes against the grain of what cycling is supposed to be about. One of which is earning your rewards in life and having patience. Think of how physically impaired athletes who might be an amputee or born physically disadvantaged some how, or really quite old athletes are revered for their grit, determination and drive. We love those guys, right. E mountainbiking for supposedly fit able bodied younger men is the complete antithesis of this simple idea. How many times have I been on a trail when some soft boy, nonchanently passes by, with no wave, no hello, no nothing, apart from an air of smugness to cover their deep down shame that they don't have what it takes. I remember being out on the road once and catching a guy on an e road bike, one of the first things he said to me was '' I'm cheating'' He knows, you all know, just stop already.,.
At these prices I think Iβll just stick with my 60km range Xiaomi 5 Max escooter which pretty much translates to about 40/45km of real life range with my driving style and weight (I drive it at max speed pretty much all the time, 25km/h and Iβve got 80kg) and I paid β¬600 for it
Hey I live in a place where goat heads over take everything are the tires good enough to stay flatted do they have pacthes
Are you using a 360 cam to get these shots? 16:09
Did you make a lot of money for this BS?
Why are e-bikes all so small? They look like kids' bikes.
Thanks for the recommendations. I really like the look of the velotric and might even pick up a lectric for general zipping around.
Always buy e-bikes used. Depreciation is off the charts
Bonnell has a crazy good mount bike but it also 5k lol
5 grands for a bike? Lol
The more I try to find out about e-bikes,the more confused I am. Every article is by someone pushing a certain brand. Iβll probably just buy a motorcycle and be done with it.
Given the cost of fuel E-Bikes will be the future in my opinion
You should of put the prices on the video would of been so helpful if I knew the price
Don't waste money all cheap Chinese parts garbage winter useless
I thought about buying an e bike. My concern is how long they will last. I have 15 speed touring bike that I have had for 30 plus year, and still going.the motors, controllers and battery don't not last very long.I see people being in e bikes that have constant issues. but the concept is interesting. With this technology you should be able to up grade as technology advances.
Interesting gender mentions the 71 lbs and hat the xp4 is. This isnβt a review itβs a marketing advertisement
Some of the bikes are illegal to ride in germany or require a special license.
I really wish people wouldn't use the term "E-bike" for things that are clearly mopeds (above class 2 and built like a brick shithouse). It's not a moped-style bicycle, it's a moped with pedals tacked on for show. It even needs to be registered as a road vehicle in most of the United States and pretty much everywhere else…
Youβll have to do a bike rack video just to hold all of these. π
My wired EBike is great for fun and commuting
Itβs hard to take this seriously when you dont explain what each bikes competition is within each category.
How are electric bicycles?
Do not get a fat tire bike if you over 60 and donβt ride trails.
I like my little Lectric XP 4. Itβs just fun to ride.
Meh I'll go with an AMZ ebike under $1k lol
Wish I had the money for one but man the expensive as hell
Thanks for an awesome in depth breakdown. You helped me decide which e bike was best for me. Great video! Happy Riding!!
I have discount codes for many e-bike brands!
Brands include Aventon, Ride1Up, Mokwheel, Fiido, Engwe, and more.
Comment your brand and country, and Iβll share the code with you! π₯
All Gen Z are here.
What i hate about e bikes they are stupidly expensive
π
yess bam hmmmm
I haven't heard back from my best friend for monthsπ₯
