A true game changer
You can probably find a lot of reviews from professional bike riders that will compare specs of E bikes in the market. My review approaches this bike from a purely recreational standpoint. I live in an area with a lot of hills. I saw an opportunity to get this bike to enjoy biking again. And I do! The bike has 5 power assist settings. In my opinion, each setting feels like a torque setting. The higher the setting up to 5, the easier to pedal and less effort. The bike has a throttle for applying power when not peddling but realize this really on works on a flat or downhill gradient. The motor just doesn’t have enough power to drive you around like a moped. For a true biking experience, this bike makes biking so enjoyable! It has 7 gears but I find that I really only use the highest gear because I seldom pedal on flat or downhill slopes. As far as the battery life goes, I can’t give you a definitive answer or real technical specs but anecdotally, my biking has never exceeded the battery life. My longest bike ride was 2 hours. Overall, this bike has been a game changer for me. I’m not getting any younger and biking just wasn’t enjoyable for me anymore because of the arduous hills in my areas. Since getting this bike, I find myself on the bike almost everyday. I have a wall bike rack in my garage but it stays on garage floor because I use it so much! I also have to mention the led lights. It has a front headlight with adjustable angle of beam. You can position it to shine way in front of bike or closer to tire down towards road. When activated, the rear, red LED also comes on and is super bright. You also can toggle one more setting to turn on side running LED lights for added visibility at night. Plus, it just looks so cool!
