Ya can't hate the Philodo H8 price, but is there an achilles heal in the formula? The thrill of dual motors propelling you to 35 mph on a fully charged 22ah 48v battery comes with its pros and cons. Going me for todays electric bike ride to learn the good, bad, and the ugly on the cheapest all wheel drive 35 mph ebike I could find under the sun.
amzn.to/3PXSpSV - The Philodo H8 is also available on amazon for a more expensive price than the link at the top of this text
The dual controllers is a unique approach, and while this awd philodo ebike might not be the most polished aesthetic, the benefits cannot be refuted.

Approaching 10,000 miles on mine and still going strong. My dual battery setup took care of the range. I rode 92 miles 1/2 on pas 3 then rode back on pas 4 and still showed 2 bars over the 1/2. I did make some mods like chain ring change and freewheel upgrade. The rest is stock. Overall the bike has been awesome.😀

All those miles on the stock seat post with no rear suspension? That's probably the first thing I'd hafta upgrade, but love the idea of a dual battery setup for it, I'm stuck between one of these and a Roadrunner V2, bout the same max speed and range, only the roadrunner be more compact and easier to take into places with me, but the torque on this bike looks incredible and has me debating

E-Street Bikes sells 2-Moped Style ebikes, the Street Swiper (Hard tail) and the Tempest Dual Battery (Soft tail). The manufacturer is claiming that their motor - single motor - output is 1500W Continuous 5000w peak (52 V 35A Integrated Speed Controller)! Perhaps E-Street Bikes can ship you a review unit. Thanks again.

After a lipo battery fire roasted my 96 chevy truck interior, I decided to buy one of these instead of a new truck. (I plan to rebuild the truck this spring since the fire didn't get into the dash or engine compartment.) Since I live less than 3 miles from work this bike seemes like a great solution! I'm also kinda stoked to not constantly feed that 5.9 dinosaur juice guzzler! From all the videos I've seen I think I'm gonna love it! I also fly FPV drones and I'm extremely excited to fly many of the local locations I simply can't drive to in my truck! I paid about $1500 (with tax) and it gets here this Friday!

Thanks for the great review, after a couple of years of trying to figure out which one of these things I'm going to get and finally have the money to get it this is it. This fat tire Electric bicycle has a positive 2000/4000 and 5000 review from a guy on KZfaq. The only thing that went wrong at 4,000 miles was a reflector came off of one of the pedals. 2-year warranty and supposedly the support is responsive. It's currently selling for $400 off the list price of 1899 dollars with free shipping. The first modification I'm going to get or addition to it is the shock absorber spring seat which he said completely changed his riding experience for the better. I learned that you don't want a rear suspension on an e-bike because even the most expensive rear suspension Monoshock style are prone to worn-out bushings and just wear out from all of the abuse. And it's not just the shock absorber bushings that connect to the frame component it's also the other bushings that are part of the bicycle the frame itself that the shock is not attached to. I'll be honest and say that there are other better looking bikes but for the price and the warranty and the reviews I don't care about the looks. I need this to get back and forth to work.

For those mentioning being able to disable the front wheel. according to Papa Blue Shirt the front motor only engages while using the throttle and uses the rear only in pedal assist. though i never saw this actually demonstrated by turning the pedals with the wheels raised

@soonerthebetter2361 8 ай бұрын

No, it is back wheel only in pedal assist. And both wheels when using the throttle. I've tested it all out. I can drive around with the throttle using the rear wheel while the front motor is unplugged. Also, PAS is disengaged when using the throttle. I have been driving around in PAS and it would quit working. It has always been that I had my throttle ever so slightly turned. It was enough to kill PAS but not enough to engage motors with the throttle. I would release the throttle and PAS returns after a second or so if I had kept pedaling. I like it like this. I use pedal assist mostly. The 1000w motor handles most everything. Tough hills, fast starts, and dogs are the reasons that I mostly use the throttle(both motors).

@pascalj4331 8 ай бұрын

Triple chain ring, beyond being useless, is bad for using up handle bar and putting +/- out of reach. Non-integrated battery and controllers , bad too. Front one won't last long offroad. You need a motor switch ideally that allows front wheel alone too. Battery is ok. 5 seconds 0-20, maybe 4 seconds with pedalling is a great use of power. You can cut off a lot of traffic with that, and 5 seconds at 2000w is as much power as 10 seconds at 1000w, so you get places much faster, without having to cruise above 20mph to get good range. There are a lot of used bikes that could be modded up into this bike. Once you decide on heavy instead of light, direct drive motors are the way to go. Though I like their balance decisions this bike made. Great review. Loved your hill climb attempts. Definitely shows the value of dual motor (sand performance also due to dual motor mostly). Would have loved to see you try and use that small chain ring to pedal up that monster. A fun, or video, idea for you would be something around that hill. Same or other bikes with pedaling. e-mtb workout fun.

It might be capable of more but the battery is limited to a 50 amp draw 25 amps from each motor. It won't affect top speed since that RPM limited but should make a difference in acceleration, hill climbing and in sand performance

I may try this when I get all the parts in for the dual battery mod on my "similar" bike (ZEEGR S1). I have mine is currently "de-tuned" to 31 MPH, so I don't stress the single battery pack. But once I have two batteries of 48V 22.4 AH (each) in place, it will be time to bump it back to 35 MPH and higher controller current. The second battery is going to be installed on the luggage rack behind the seat.

The H8 has cruise control and you can adjust the power availibility in the program PO8. This bike is not really for pedaling Its like a Caddy if you add a seat shock. Range is about 20 miles full out at 25 to 34.7 mph and hills are climbed easily. the best way to get range and perfomance is to run at 25mph and let your momentum carry you and pulse the throttle to maintain speed and you will get about 30mph. The best way to check your range is by looking at your voltage, a full charge is 54.9 volts and will go down around 42 volts. A full charge coupled with a positive mental attitude will yield much fun!

I think the main theme of awd bikes is that you should have a way to turn down the power of the front hub for launching. I believe the Fabulous bikes have that front power adjustability. But a Fabulous bike you're looking at $2,800

When you start from standing still, with just pedaling (no throttle) you will not get launched like a rocket. I also have an awd, and i don't mind it most of the times that the frontwheel spins a little bit. But yes it can be annoying. Also you have to watch out in corners. Take it easy on the throttle.

@chuckwolf9869 7 ай бұрын

AWD only engages under throttle, if you are using pedal assist the rear wheel does all the work. Though there is something cool about spinning the front wheel off the line when you twist the throttle in PAS 5

Thanks for the review. A few weeks back I asked you about your thoughts on this Philodo H8 bike in comparison to the Wired Freedom bike and at that time you said that you really like the all wheel drive bikes but that you could not do a comparison because you had not had a chance to ride the Philodo. Now that you have had the chance to ride both of them what are your thoughts on a comparison with respect to power, speed, distance, etc. Thanks in advance! Keep up the great work!!

wired freedom is way more polished and rides way nicer with full suspension and lighter unsprung mass having just one motor. the new upgraded suspension is going to be a game changer for the entire industry. the 60v has more pep on a full charge and also feels stronger deeper into the battery, aka when they get down to 50%

If you spot this comment, just curious: deciding between this and the Velotric Nomad 1. Price difference comes out to just $50 now, $1450 for the velotric after tax, H8 for $1499 all in with shipping. Wanting something fun as hell but practical enough to fetch a few groceries with and leave the car parked. Which would you go with for a 1.5 mile work commute 3-4 days a week? Edit: Price on the H8 just dropped a bit further with a coupon. $1360 now before tax, same as the nomad after tax.
