This is my impression after receiving my camo E-cell Monarch Crown AWD about three weeks ago; I have put in nearly 200 miles of riding on it thus far. Every day, everywhere I went, I would have admirers asking me about the bike! I parked and lock it in front of supermarket and at least a couple of people would come up and ask about it. - - - So, here are the personal impression of the pros and cons of this bike thus far... - - - PROS- Extreme eye-catching and attention-getting. It's a MASSIVE bike and weight in just shy of 100 lbs.! The company has been extremely courteous and responsive with emails and call backs and Dave Cleveland, the owner was very personable, knowledgeable and helpful with all my inquires. All the extra goodies came as promised and I have made use of the easily clipped-on double pannier bags almost daily. Both front and rear luggage carriers have been very helpful. The bike has lots of power, especially when I put in the dual motor mode when I start out after waiting for traffic light! I then switch over to the rear hub drive after the start to conserve energy. I have since rode in pouring Seattle rain with this bike and the front and rear aluminum fenders worked magic to keep my pants relative dry! The Vee brand Bulldozer tires appeared to last better than the Kenda Juggernaut tires I had on my last ebike! The color cockpit LCD was very bright and easy to use; I especially love the inclusion of a clock on the upper left hand display so I don't need to whip out my phone to check ETA, etc. Excellent shocks front and back, though they are a bit stiff just now but I will adjust them accordingly soon. And I cannot forget the very fast charger included with the bike! The bike has three charging ports, one of each individual battery and then a combined charging port located near the base of the frame that I could charge BOTH batteries at the same time thru it. E-cell even included a Y- charging cable if I wanted to charge both dismounted batteries all at once! - - - Now for the CONS- It's a BIG and HEAVY bike; be prepare to make room for something the size of a single bed in your home! Maybe because I was use to slightly narrower handler bar, I found the steering becoming a bit unstable if I was to let go one hand, like when I had to adjust my glasses, etc., that meant the same turn used to take less arm movements in the past now would need for me to 'stretch' out just that tad bit more to steer around the same turn; the bike would readily wobble and if I was to take in even a little air or even just over some bumps, I definitely have to keep BOTH hands on firmly on the handle bar. While the extra wide palm extensions were 'comfortable' when cruising, they became less easily to grip firmly thus making me feel less in control of the steering. I had decades of experience riding single tracks and this big bike really take some new getting use to. This handle more like a speedy truck than a nimble SUV. Lights- while the bike has both head and tail lights, both could seriously use some upgrading! While the headlight was adequate and mounted firmly right above the front fender and powered by the bike, it was not a big or bright light; easy solution would be replace it with any after-market CREE high lumen light. The tail light was not a brake light as in my last ebike nor was it powered by the bike; it required its own AA batteries that will need to be replaced from time to time. Thinking maybe I would simply rig a long thin USB cable from it to the USB port by the frame mounted front battery. I loved the 3-prong fast charger but the very loud fan inside the fast charger needed some getting use to! Cable bundling could use a little more streamlining as the way it is now, it took up a big portion of the front luggage rack space, leaving little room on that small rack to strap anything bigger than a bread box. I could see using it to strap soft bundles like a sleeping bag for camping? I wish I could add pannier extensions below it too. For some reason, even when fully charged, the power level only show being 97% full; another Crown owner has made the same comment here also. I love the included mirrors but because of the width of the handle bar and the mirrors being bar end mounted, I could not use them; it would have been great if the mirrors could be mounted ON the handler bar like many motorcycles ones. I could barely get the bike thru my front door and would be impossible if the mirrors were mounted too. - - - All in all, I couldn't think of anything else I could add to my comments on my new bike. I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a great looking, fast, powerful and sturdy bike that could go on and off road equally at ease. Just don't expect it to handle like a true mountain bike though!

Micah Toll said, "Unless you're like me and you keep it in all-wheel drive mode all the time and rip through the trails with reckless abandonment". Has anyone ever noticed Micah has a good sense of humor? I'm dead. This is one my favorite reviews he's done besides the Frey electric bikes.

So I built my own bike, with a 1000W motor kit and 48V battery and a regular ol cargo bike, the end result cost me about $500 after everything was said and done and honestly has a pretty comparable distance and speed to this bike. I can't imagine paying 2.5k for that. Folks, build your own unless you think paying nearly 2k is worth not having to build it yourself. (screw on battery, replace hand breaks, wire everything, and replace wheel) It might not *look* as nice, but it's just as fun and turns heads.

Personally I like the orange and all of the extras that match. I'd need someone to help me get it on the trailer hitch bike rack. Anyone make a Hydraulic lift rack? My old Chevy Chevette will be popping wheelies.

$3100, 42 kg weight. Awesome. Will keep the brand monarch in my mind from now on!

just bought the 1000 wt. The price now is 3,895. It's still a great buy and there are some upgrades since you did this video like Torque sensor etc.

I just ordered one in matte black to replace my Trek pedal assist. The Trek was ok but I couldn't take it off road and it has no throttle. The Monarch looks to be allot more flexible, and fun!

Ordered a Super Monarch in matte black. Should be in around mid-December, 2022. Luckily E-Cells home in Parumph, NV is only about 50 miles away from me. I'll use it for hunting in northern Nevada. Hunting in Nevada's vast areas requires either an ATV or a VERY capable e-mountain bike like the E-Cells Super Monarch. An s-mountain bike is SO much quieter than any ATV. It's a stealth way to hunt.

I came back to this. A nice looking bike with lots of power.

Thank you for making that video that was really good!!

I love it, has everything i been looking for.

I just purchased the super Monarch 1500w bike 17in frame,for $3750. I waited three long months but now I have it and yes it's fun but the speed is 32 mph ,I find that to be slow. With 2 motors and 2 batteries I would like it faster faster faster.

When people ask about the extra weight i explain that its only about the same as strapping an engine and tank of fuel to your bike. shuts them up every time :)

Why not have it all! Lol! Looks perfect for the RV toy hauler.

I like the suspension and the price.

just a quick note: if you had the materials to do this you could actually add a 3rd battery to the top tube, it would have to be a hailong or shark battery but tbh it doesnt matter what kind of battery it is as long as it helps drive the bike

Those fat tires do take quite a hit on your range, tho. At least, rolling friction doesn't increase to as high of an exponent of speed as does wind resistance, so at higher speeds, the difference is probably negligent. This calls for some testing with various tire sizes and types.

i just logged 1000 miles on a 28mph bike i built for $650. you'll never see me pay that kind of price.

Great review thanks. Looks like a bike to match my needs.

BTW, my 2023 Super Monarch Crown has TORQUE sensing pedal assist.

Very nice bike. Good for transportation. And reliable.

It will make your trip more relaxed,convenient and environmentally friendly.

So, you're not really using this as a bike but rather a motorcycle shaped like a fat tire cruiser. This is great for many people. Looks like fun. I like mtn bikes and just bought first e-mtn bike which are closer to $6K in full suspension but you get to pedal a lot but go higher as you get older. I do like your review.

There are differences with electric bikes in the Netherlands. Is saw you started at the trafficlights without using the pedals and also saw it in other parts of your biking trail. In the Netherlands I think we would call it a moped with an extra use of pedals. This is the same for standard and fast bikes.

I like the intro music lol! Sounded like a huge thriller starting. " One man du...du...du..." One Bike du...du...du..." Against all odds...du...du...du... Hahahaha! Great vid mate!

Looks , seems to be pretty amazing. MAJOR concern is how the front suspension fork can handle having a 500w motor pull it. Most 2wd bikes have a solid front fork for that reason. Can you tell me if you think the front fork can handle the motor over the long run?. I really love this bike. Also, what is customer service like with this company and are they a fly by night?. The price for what you get is really very reasonable. Any words of wisdom here?

Is there a reason that reviewers always mention lifting into a truck when talking about weight? Is there some reason a bike can’t just simply be ridden up a ramp into a truck?

Price went up. I blame your awesome review :)

It's almost 2020 & there are still people out there that are fooled by "free" stuff. IT'S INCLUDED IN THE PRICE FFS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Outrageous ! Thanks......

What is the full range on a flat road on full electric throttle only at 20 miles per hour?

Just curious how you take the rear view trail shots. Trade secret?

Great video Micah!!!

This is sweet. I would love one

Can't wait till your 1500 AWD version review!!! Would love to know it's range.

How you do that invisible pole on holder camera? I wanna learn about trick camera like pro. Show me info link or KZfaq how! Please

She's BRIGHT

for dual motor I would choose Ariel Rider Grizzly. You can get 2xsuspension, 2x battery and faster motors.

I got me mine and boy! You can't get a better bike, Okay, the 1500 model looks like an armored truck and will possibly out-perform it but this itself is making guys green with envy looking at me cruise by..

Is it coming to the UK? Nice bike good video 👍

If the Cyber Truck had a baby

It certainly looks like a sweet ride However PLEASE Include in your reviews things like stand-over height, and height recommendations for the bikes you are reviewing, plus any weight minimums for the rider A good friend only weights 97 lbs. Is that enough to be safe on a 98 lb bike? Thanks Keep up the good work

Shouldn't it have a good torque arm on that front wheel to keep it from popping off?

The all around bike to have! Wish it was available in Japan...so much better than what's for sale here!!!

Awesome. Glad to see the market responding with higher battery capacities on ebikes. Maybe a theoretical limit could be reached on the frame integrity at 3 kWh with current battery tech. But certainly something closer to 2 kWh is a reasonable ask on a mountain bike frame.

I just ordered one all black, I live in nj and live 10 mins from work and 7 mins from a national park so I think it maybe a a good bet. Yes exspensive but feels like parts and components maybe worth it

If they eliminate the derailleurs it would be a great bike

too much fun! does it have bosses for a front rack? i agree: for all you get, it IS a pretty good value. fenders, racks, panniers...

how come you didnt include a link to where we can buy it?

at what point do you buy a motorbike

Too bad grabber green is my favorite color. Now upgrade the speed controller and over volt it with an updated review for those of us with a death wish.

Does this item shipping to Ireland as well please? IRELAND UK

It's an electric motorcyle due to it's size and weight (92 pounds).

I'm looking for something that will give me a 60 mile range on level terrain if I keep it down to 20 MPH. Do you think I could squeeze that kind of range out of this bike?

Nice bike, what's it cost?

That looks like a pretty cool bike.

How tall of a rider can it take and weight capacity

Gotta have a 6 point harness and Hans device for safety, heh heh, for those prices!

I wanted to know if a 12 year old is able to ride it? Please let me know

Everything is cool here, including the name ;)

This looks great and a super review

You know the only link you didnt show was the actual bike your reviewing

I barely noticed any pedaling going on... so much for the exercising aspect of bike riding in this one... :^)

Ok, a good review to bring unknown, or less known bikes to us. However, a better more detailed look at the components, would be nice (What tires & do they have puncture protection?). In addition, you can find those components on other rough & tumble ebikes. Like the Veego 750, for one, at about $2,200_ not dual suspension, or dual battery, and a step thru. Also take a look at the EVELO Dual Suspension ebike, w/a mid-drive motor. Thanks!

The bike is neat, but I'm still trying to figure out how his camera is following him....

How would you compare it to the cc frey

Hi. What do you think about X-TREME ROCKY ROAD 48V ELECTRIC FAT TIRE MOUNTAIN BIKE? Can you please make a video about how to upgrade that model into a beast model? Or is it possible? I'm little concerned about the back suspension too. The placement of it. Can you explain more about it?

I like the rear suspension; do they have a patent on it; & is it pneumatic?

Impreseve bike love it 😍

I was really interested in this unit as I have a very similar bike, but with only 1 rear hub (48v)500w motor run by a 750w power supply, but my immediate issue was the run time.. I am getting nearly 100km of run time on my bike if I do not use the pedal on flat ground and around 150 if I also peddle, that allows me to to go out for a couple of days and camp/explore deep into the forest trails without any need to return for a charge.. I like the idea of the dual hubs, it's the amount of time it takes to drain the battery that kills it for me(unless the run time was wrong).. Cool bike though, looks well built and would like to know the hauling capability(max load weight) plus how much does this bike weigh..?? Most people do not understand that they will need a more robust bike hauler than many bike rack manufactures don't have something that can haul safely over 40-60lbs..

We purchased this Vivi 27.5” electric bike and a Tentaquil 26” electric bike for our 13 and 14 year olds. kzfaq.infoUgkxUiL0GnyDjP32RJdd660sP8mZk4CRLTCJ The Vivi was much easier to put together. With the Vivi, there was a video link to assist with assembly which made the process easier to follow (we did put the handlebars on upside down, but it was a quick and easy fix). With the Tentaquil, the assembly was not as simple to follow, but after we messaged the company for an assembly video, it was easier and they did respond quickly. The other major differences were that the Vivi has a grip throttle on the right handle (like a motorcycle) and the Tentaquil has a push throttle that you use your thumb to activate. The monitors were also different, so if you’re looking for something specific in terms of changing the bikes functions, pay attention to what the monitor offers. We were really impressed with the overall quality and functionality of both bikes, but if you’re looking for more power and an easier assembly, definitely go with the Vivi!

Hey everyone - how comfortable is the with the way your body sits holding the handlebars? I would be using it to cruise 4 miles on the road from my house to the beach and then to ride on the beach. Are you comfortable in that position? Does it feel more like sitting on a mountain bike a hybrid or a beach cruiser? How did it handle on the sand? How does it handle on the road for 5 miles? Much thanks!

Nice video. I'd like to know how you erase your 'selfie stick'?

If I bought Ecells Super Monarch step through 1000w could I do a motor swap with two Bafang True 750w Motors?

Quite a power pack ebike 👍Do they have this model in UK ?

That's a cool bike. And that looks a lot like a trail I rode in Florida.

BEST YET

Mi SHENG MILO MX02S de 1000w y 48v/18ah coge los 61km/h 37MPH

I finally find the perfect e-bike for me and at a very good price, only to find the website doesn't exist anymore. Is this just a tease?

One I need to save for!

Great idea. Not a fan of fat bike tyres. Would be even better with one larger frame battery for balance and handling.

I have an E bike. I noticed that all the E bikes That they advertise. They're always riding and good weather. Never the rain or snow or mud. Because I live in New York and we get all of that. I wanna know how it rides In the rain with the 2 batteries 1 in the back. Is the battery waterproof. Are the fenders too short for the wheel and water comes up in the back and a front of you. Can you show me a video with the bike riding in the rain.

Can the batteries be removable for separate charging and for security reason?

needs chrging pedaling super capacitors, maybe solar or wind, or maybe alcohol

Thanks Micah! Nice bike. I could do without the International Orange paint job though. Now if it was Fire Engine Red with Black Fenders? That would be Excellent!

The biggest thing that stops me from getting a bike like this is I worry there’s no one who can fix it if it breaks.

Amazing!! I want one

What is the point / benefit of the second drive motor ? Its added to the weight and cost so it must have a benefit. I can only presume that the bike can handle very steep / rough terrain but the test riding didn't show anything like that. Unless you specifically want to go places that would utilize the second motor, this would not be the right bike for you.

This would be awesome in Vancouver but it'd be stolen in a few days so I'll stick with my cheap ass costco bike lol

Is there a thin version without suspension?

Time for some protective head and body gear at that speed.

Hola que e Nike.donde la puedo adquirir o comprar cuál su precio en dollars.graciad

32 mph top speed good and unlikely to outgrow. can that speed be reached by throttle alone or does it require pedal assist?

I'd have to make a fundraiser for this. I was investing in another bike that goes a bit faster than this one, but I don't know..compared to this one and the other one I wanna get, it's tricky. It's still 0$ on that new bike I wanna get though. :/ I have a bike myself, but the speed is only 25mph max with me on but gets to about 30 at times. The battery is weak as it only goes 10 miles even drawing 1000w. It's disappointing though and I really wanna get support on getting a better bike for traveling around.

So what is the discount code on their website, or how to get it?

What price now?

I haven't ridden trail's for a long time however, I remember hitting water unexpectedly many times over the wheel hubs. How do these electric bikes handle getting soaked? I am impressed with the front drive.

Is that the only color

awesome! I want :) P.S. Who dislike? 86 persons it's ...oil magnates!?

I built the same thing ten years ago. You want your e bike to be as light as possible. My dual motor ebike was almost a hundred pounds. Try pedaling this tank with dead battery's in the summer heat and try lifting it over logs or anything. I learnt my lesson with heavy bikes.
