Had I known just how heavy the Kommoda is before buying it i probably would not have gone for it. I am a 5’1” 120 pound old lady. However, I bought it and I do love it. I figure I’ll get stronger the more I use it.

Great review and a lot of valid issues, that you don't think about...until you own it. Rear wheel punctures...yes I experienced that and slime tubes are a god send.

Great video, thanks. I have an xf900, and I had the same problem with flat tyres, especially the back tyre. I have now filled them with gloop and not had a problem since. I've done about 750 miles on my 900 so far, I did by a second battery and a spare battery housing, which I keep on the rear luggage rack, it gives me around 50 to 60 miles with both. Biggest problem I've had was over heated brakes on long down hills. I've now fitted 203mm discs, which seems to have eradicated the dreaded brake fade. All the said, I love the bike, it goes every where, I spend as much time on bridleways and green lanes as I do on roads 😊

Love this review. So much more honest than the usual ‘paid’ reviews on this bike. Also, if I may add something....If you intend to transport this on a heavy duty rack, bear in mind that those fat tyres may be too wide for the channels.

Regarding flats, you can patch a tube without removing wheel. Also, in the thorny desert where I ride, I won't roll an inch without sealant in my tubes. I probably get 5-20 thorns in my tires every ride but ride for years without having to mess with flats.

Re: difficulty of transporting the bike, in the UK ETA offers reasonably priced get-you-home insurance for cyclists with their bike. After I got a non-folding ebike I bought the insurance and used it last autumn after getting a thorn puncture from a recently cut hedge. A large taxi van took me the 30 miles home, no problem. ETA is the name.

Superb honest review! which touched apon issues i had thought about.

Thanks for the video. Don’t forget to slime your inner tubes. Also recommended to put tire anti puncture protection inside. All will help against what you’ve talked about here. Have a look bike handlebar stands also. Help a little with e-bikes when turned upside down. Batteries will always eventually go bad. 3 or 4 years you’ll no doubt change to a new bike anyways. 😜

Totally agree with you on the heaviness of these bikes. They look great and ride well, but as soon as you try manoeuvring them at low speed or just moving them without the power, they can be a real pain. When I go out on my eBike ( a larger version of a mate x ) and you feel like you’ve been wrestling a bear all day long. I’ve actually moved away from these types of big heavy ebikes and go for smaller 48/52v lighter versions. Much better now and easy to transport. I’m also using battery packs and swapping between bikes by having a standard xt60 connector. One or two of these batteries can then be used on most of my ebikes. More generic batteries are cheaper and easier to swap about. 👍

Plenty of slime in both tyres. And carry a pump with you. Like you I found out the hard way 😱. No more problems, after a couple of flat tyres with slime in . I pumped them up and have not lost any pressure since. I have thought about fitting tpms to my bike , just to monitor the pressure. I haven't yet though. I haven't needed to remove the wheels since.😊

Thank you very much indeed! Very helpful!

Hi love your content thinking of getting same bike could you tell me what make is your bike rack and were you got it from.thanks kevin.

Bought 2 after watching this video. Rear tires are an issue on any e bike changing a flat. 66 pounds weight in USA. Carry Green slim it works GREAT to get you home. You have to cut cable ties on any rear wheel motor and disconnect wires. We bought 2 extra batteries KEEP them out of COLD when stored Batteries are $299 know. LOVE OUR Cyrusher Kommoda. Thank You for the review Very Honest Review

I already had battery’s on my other e-bikes so I have fitted a 20amp hr on my Komodo’s rack works perfectly which gives me 34 amp hr combined you need to fit a switch on the Komodo’s battery as it does not have one and you cannot run both at the same time

Easiest way to tell is by looking at the hub motor as it is coded and that is how British Police know if your bike has been modified to run faster than 15.5MPH on British roads.

Thanks for the info.

Thanks Joe. Very helpful. I have just bought a Kommoda and am thinking about a bike carrier. Which one did you buy and is it easy to use. Thanks again

Lectric xp 3.0 is doing wonders for me it was only 1000$ would highly recommend they can go 30 with one person and 25 with 2 people and it can hold like 150lbs on that rear rack that it’s built in it has a 10.4 ah ofc this battery is not ideal for long distance but it’s working great and it folds like 4 different ways I fit it in the back a small Mercedes we just dropped one of the seats it’s amazing for the price .

Just purchased a couple of magic cycles I like to put on the girls headlights like you have what the crusher when you put that on a sensitive plug and play please let me know. Thank you.

These are sadly illegal on UK roads….even IF Plod is fooled by the 250w motor label…The law says maximum continuous output of 250w. These can pull more like 1000w under load…like uphill. Restricting the max assisted speed isn’t enough to keep you out of trouble, yet a heavy rider going uphill needs that power or you’ll end up walking. Stupid law.

Valid points made. I would say the battery is well underpowered for the weight of this bike. It is only 48 volt 14amp hour. 56 volt 20 amp hour as a minimum should have been standard for a bike in this price range. The rear brake failed on me after 800 miles the front one after 850. That one leaked all the hydraulic fluid out which was very scary as i just managed to stop on the failing rear brake and yes it is grossly overpriced compared to the competition. The bike is sturdy, rides well and is very smooth on the road but it sure is not pleasant on country tracks. Overall verdict. Overpriced and low quality components in some areas. Footnote. I seem to have one of the slow ones you spoke of. No amount of on screen adjustment makes any odds. Top speed for a 175lbs guy is 25mph. peddling hard on gear seven. 23mph top speed on throttle with tyres at maximum 20psi pressure.

I'm used to riding and transporting gas dirt bikes so these types of bikes seem super lightweight to me 😊. It's all relative.

67 and have road Harleys at 800 LBS 50 years weight not an issue but yes for me or wife they are easy to handle even at low speeds.

Being called the Kommoda, does it have a hole in the seat feeding a pipe connected to a storage tank?

What PSI were you running your tyres at?

what I would like to know is what all the adjustments actually offer in the menu -- I can not find a reasonable explanation of how to deal with the menu adjustments

Im currently lookg for a fat ebioke, and at present Im settled on th Engwe e26, before that I was settled on the commoda. Ind based on my past experience, the first thing I will do is get a decent set of tires. Those nobbles have too much space inbetween them which uis much thinner rubber.

I've seen videos where they break the tire while still on the bike and just pop the tube out patch put back in tire looks pretty easy thank god I haven't had a flat yet

Thanks for the video Joe. Just bought a grey Kommoda 2 weeks ago, so definitely interested in the speed/batch difference please. Also what accessories you bought? A bit shocked about the double puncture, they're supposed to be puncture resistant tyres??

can you give me the part number for the connectors onthe restriction wires. thanks

Do you think an anti puncture compound in the inner tube like slime would probably save you from getting stranded? Don't have any experience with it myself but I've seen people recommend using it on these types of bikes.

thank you, thank you.

Nice video thanks, Can you say whereabouts you bought it? I have searched them but only find USA sites offering them in dollars. I live in the UK.

Have you used this for commuting? I'm looking for summer ebike to commute 19miles to work and back, mostly back roads but some main roads

I noted in another video there was a mention that a 48 volt battery was illegal ( am I thick or something) surely if the bike is ridden in a proper manner you get a longer life from your battery and more miles because your not working the batteries so hard. I drove trucks in my day unlike a car they were fitted with 24 volt batteries, no one ever said that's illegal ! Well that said my bike is legal 250watt motor 48volt battery and restricted to 15.5 mph bike weight 23kilo I've easily had 30 miles distance on pedal assist 1 though there are five to choose from .. take care wear a helmet we only get one life.😊

With punctures, wouldn’t you be better installing tyre slime or something in the wheels, rather than swapping out inner tubes? Like you’ve said, the bikes are HEAVY, so an extra kilo in puncture slime won’t make any difference 🤷🏻‍♂️

Hi mate your battery should last 8 years if looked after I would recommend tyre liners not tannus armour total rubbish and expensive and slime or in my case shinko 244 motor bike tyres there bombproof for punctures great vid

I am thinking about a kommoda or a Ovia. do you know anything about the Ovia ? thank you.

Hello the motor certainly has a nylon planetary this can be replaced by a steel planetary or nylon steel more solid view on aliexpress

too heavy for me good upload

Let us see the proforma different in the 2 ebikes.

love the komoda but the ovia has slightly better specs just less aggressive styling ( better looking headlight though ) but being on the heavier side of the scale and 6 foot 5 , i was thinking of getting a himiway big dog, its rated to pull a lot more weight like 300lbs and take a taller rider than the cyrusher which was my first choice ( based on looks ), but the himiway customer service department is like trying to talk to someone who has little to no grasp of the English language lol, much like the cyrusher that has a 750w motor which is limited to 250w to comply with the silly uk laws ( why they think its fine for a man over 180lb with arms twice as thick as most womens legs should be limited to the same 250w as a 100lb woman is beyond me lol ) but anyway yeah cycrusher clearly state on there website its a 750w motor you can take the 250w restriction off of, himiway however are not clear whether your getting a 750w you can de-restrict or 250w and when you ask there customer services for clarification which it is and if its 750 that's restricted they email with an answer that doesn't actually answer, that leaves you asking the same question again just in a different way, which leaves me thinking id go back to the cyrusher despite the himiway big dog being able to pull/hold more weight having a bigger battery and has 6 more torque than the cyrusher, and is CHEAPER ............ just an fyi for people the estimated milage of these machines is complete load of non sense, they base it on a 60kg person which isn't exactly an average person lol in the lowest peddle assist so they can say hey look we can do 50 miles when in reality for normal people who aren't the weight of your average supermodel, if your not supermodel weight and lugging a bit of shopping home your lucky to get half that and if your in a hilly area less than a 3rd of estimated range is most likely, so any one thinking of getting one for commuting take your total range and divide by 3 or end up like my mate stuck pushing it back cause it ran out of juice half way up a hill on his way home after a 12 hour shift lol

This has put me off buying one thanks

At 6 foot ,3 do you have any issues I'm tall and looking at getting this type of bike?

I bought another battery and it's coming from china, I bet you could get cheaper on Chinese sites like Alibaba or something not sure though

The tyres are £140 😯

The price of the replacement batteries is why people buy the cheap rubbish ones online then lo and behold fire!!!

Better to buy a engwe L20

just like many vehicles, ie range rovers they are very stealable.

Fiido T1 is a better bike for less money and has a bigger battery and can carry 200kg including weight of rider .

Every Cop in uk know how these are made points fines if your caught when was last time brambles stopped a good cycle tyre ? Bike that can 30 mph much better hub e-bike s wau radrover

F that. 500£ for a replacement battery? I'd rather not buy this.

It's not wise to buy e-bikes like these. They seem cheap at first sight, but way to heavy. Tires with bad puncture protection. Need to but Tanus Armor. Special wheels with special hub width. Chinese stuff. Complicated to get spare parts. Integrated batteries: Stupid system, which is bad for the customer and good for Cyrusher. These batteries wont be available when you need it, or they are available and price is half of a new bike. This is no good and not sustainable. Cyrusher and many other Chinese e-bike are one way bikes The Chinese want only sell as many as possible and they don't care about anything else. Pedal your old bike without motor - you never have problems, you are free!:-) Or do DIY, for example your battery fits and is better as in pre-built bikes.

Disposable item.

DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM THIS COMPANY. BIKE WONT LAST A YEAR. ALSO THEY DISCONTINUE BIKES THEN DOUBLE THE PRICE OF PARTS
