oddly i seem to recall that the v3 had sort of a name-brand motor but the U7 appears not to. even so the overall specs seem the same. my U7 motor seems QUITE strong and has a 16AH battery which seems appropriate to power the motor and controller unit.

my U7 came with a front rack option and had an extension for the headlight to take it off the fender and mount it instead on the front rack. I have so far NOT done that. So far I have not needed the front rack and note that if you do mount the headlight on it, the lamp does not turn with the steering anymore. so you will want to be aware of that if you contemplate the alternative mount.

It's red for sure, comes in black or white as well.

Awesome, thank you!

Lots of features, some of which not normally available in folding bikes but oh, it is so heavy at 70 lbs!

@@dennisluz6453 [update: got the U7 about 2 months ago. generally quite pleased with the quality of the product] so far yeah, the bike is heavy but two things: 1) the pedal assist or grip-throttle mode are more than enough to compensate for it. you do not want to try to pedal the thing without power. so far I have never come close to running out the battery and am just about at 100 miles on the odo now. 2) the weight/mass is actually conducive to a stable and smooth ride at speeds above where pedaling would normally take you 3) I do not even max out the motor; I am not even sure how fast it goes and frankly I do not need to know. I did get a better seat and bought some rear-view mirrors but so far only mounted the left-side mirror. You have to mount them wide to see well behind your own shoulder and arm. 4) I did unwisely try climbing some pretty steep and sandy terrain and the motor had no problem. I just had trouble handing the bike and keeping the rear tire in solid contact with the surface since it was irregular. This bike is only for "off-road" for younger riders than age 65. 5) where I live there is a lot of drifted sand, so the fat tires are pretty much NECESSARY and even then you do not want to hit soft sand at the wrong speed; too slow and you will sink the front wheel. Too fast and you will likely end-o. I keep them only about half inflated so the bike could probably go a good deal faster than I have any business going, and I prefer the smoother ride on softer tires. I also put leak-stop goop (the green stuff) in my tires since my part of the desert is teeming with "goat head thorns" that otherwise murder bike tires.

This vid is about an electrical bike. Last I checked, electric motors don’t have pistons 👍

I do think this one is a good match. Seat and bars drop low. Step through helps too. Replacing the stock seat post with a solid post will drop the seat even lower if needed.

i would have preferred that the turn-signal had some kind of feedback (like a beep or something) since when I use it I tend to forget to turn it off which then would confuse other vehicles who have to deal with me.

i have heard that the vitilans sometimes have defective seats. I replaced my stock one with a fancier model from vitilan that has an inflatable bladder. it is more comfy than the stock seat but you could probably get those from anybody. It does kind of jam the handle for opening the seat stay in order to take out the battery but so far I have almost never had any need to take the battery out. I guess it depends on whether you use the bike to commute and lock it somewhere public.
