This is like the "Trophy Truck" of ebikes, like a pick-up truck with a nitrous switch, gigantic, outrageous power, plush suspension... think “smiles per gallon” instead of “miles per gallon”. I’m not your financial advisor, but I’d recommend you don't even look and get tempted to buy it today if you’re not prepared to impulse spend $$ on your new favorite toy:

One thing to keep in mind; if you had an electrical tool that was being bogged down you would not just keep using it ignoring the fact that you are overheating it. You would give it relief and stop before you ruin it. So, to be fair, nobody should think that the test you just put that bike through is the proper way to ride.

@russwoodward8251 Жыл бұрын

True. I think that is clear. We don’t get our bikes for free so I wouldn’t ride this way. But basic tools don’t have motor controllers.

This test is good for people who already own this bicycle , shows them the limitations on their bicycles . This man's sacrificing his own bicycle to show you how far can you push it , regardless of the fact if got it for free or not , he could just sell it and make money on it , but he chose to show us what we can and cannot do with these bicycles.

i ended up buying the nomad 1 because of this channel. love your reviews! i will say from personally riding if you hit the throttle on and off a bunch off times sequentially, and i mean in rapid succession, the motor does cut off. simply stopping and restarting the bike gets it going again. ive logged about 700 miles on mine and im about 380lbs. i get on average around 23miles per charge. i have tested the battery by doing multiple rides throughout the week on one charge. a mile here, a few miles there and when i do that i can get about 30 miles per charge using mostly throttle. i think thats absolutely amazing for a guy my size! also, i think the stock grips are great and the seat is OK. i ended up upgrading both to a cloud 9 seat and more squishy grips. also got a lightbar upgrade for the light. i really love the tires but barely take it off road so i ended up getting flat 4in road tires. it seems to give me a mile or two extra bettery since theres less road resistance

@cynic256 8 ай бұрын

23 miles per charge with pedaling? damn bro. i get like 40 on mine but i'm also a lot lighter. agree with the cloud 9 seat..its so squishy and amazing. what type of tire did you switch to on the nomad? i have also been thinking about putting some road tires on instead of the knobby ones. i have a discover too and its just so much smoother on pavement, but i can't find any good 4 inch smooth road tires

Just very heavy as stated. I stopped at one wheel drive, they go even bigger.

7:04 this is where a torque sensor would be a lot better than a Cadence Sensor because it would give you Direct feedback as to how hard your bike is working because you would be working harder and realize how much stress you're putting on the bike which is always good to keep an eye on but if I got 4 or 5 brand-new ebikes every week I wouldn't worry about it much either

@@justinlikesme19 any modern mid drive has torque sensing built in. That's the point every ebike demonstrator seems to skip because they know if it really starts to hit collective awareness that 99% of the bikes they show are hub drive/non-torque sensing, and again most commonly available modern mid drives clobber both the rear wheel weight limit issue (you can only stuff so big a motor inside X size wheel) and the feedback loop/controller/latency/ghost/etc issues that simply don't exist with torque sensing at the pedals, which would end up killing a lot of views they used to get when viewers didn't realize.

@cynic256 8 ай бұрын

i know you posted this 2 months ago, but i thought i'd reply in case you havent bought one yet. the answer? it doesn't matter. i own both and have over 1k miles on each. the nomad is a beast, the torque it has is almost too much sometimes - it is very jerky and if you're not paying attention when you hit the throttle, it can knock you off. the discover is much smoother in its power delivery, and it does suffer on some hills. it's never failed me on a hill, but it also doesn't haul me up a hill at 20mph. the nomad will get much less range than the discover. it sucks the battery down like no other. if you're older and looking for a smooth and more tame ride, i say go discover. if you want something quick and unstoppable - at the expense of ride smoothness and battery life, go nomad.

@savemankind738 Жыл бұрын

This guy's so honest , that's why I like his videos over anyone elses . He was spot on for Rad power bikes. They are underpowered , over priced and not that high quality. I buy and sell used ebikes and have had number of Rad power bicycles because they sell instantly , the reason being people think they will stand behind their product. To be honest all the budget ebikes components are basically generic and usually nothing goes wrong with them for few thousand miles and even if something something goes wrong , its probably a controller and just need to swap the controller .

The SR Suntour NCX is a good suspension seatpost, especially since you can often get it for less than half of its next-most expensive competitor with a similar mechanism (though you have to remove the seatpost to adjust the pre-load or replace the spring, which you really do just once). I use it on my LMT’d and XPedition e-bikes and acoustic hardtail. The 4-arm linkage motion does a much better job than the cheaper telescoping ones at absorbing impacts and not tweaking your knees if you hit a hard bump while pedaling. To be able to use it on future bikes, I get the 27.2 diameter version and use it with shims, though I have to use two shims with the XPedition to bring it up to 33.6mm.

@Reprogrammed_By_SEGA Жыл бұрын

Can we stop pretending all these e-bikes are different brands? Every time I check the associated website it is basically a copy and paste of the last e-bike website. Appreciate the reviews but this reminds me of when China would send out tons of multimeter test equipment to KZfaqrs and pass them all off as different brands. But the reality was a bunch of wonky hardware that didn't last. The reason they do this is to escape liability on all levels and it basically makes a mockery of the system.

If you buy a legit emtb from one of the bigger brands such as Scott, Haibike, Orbea, Giant, Specialized, Santa Cruz, Cube or whatever, they will just rip through it. But I get it, those bikes are not your lazy electric bike where you don't have to pedal and are not going as fast and cost way more. You rather have a lazy ass bike which goes as fast as possible and is a cheap china bike. Just to mention, there is no torque. When you accelerated at the red light it was barely moving. That is pretty much the definition of no torque lol.

@chow-chihuang4903 Жыл бұрын

It’s not lack of torque, it’s the acceleration curve programmed into the display to ramp up the current (and resulting torque) when starting from a stop to keep people from losing control of the bike. It’s usually referred to as “Slow Start”. Usually such bikes ship with that setting on max, but usually it be be adjusted to steeper ramp-up curves, or even turned off. I’ve ridden an e-bike with similar torque (80 versus 75Nm) geared hub motor and a much steeper curve and it tossed me off twice (once was trying to make a tight turn, the second was obliquely climbing one of those curved suburban gutters into my driveway) before I dialed its PAS 1 speed target way down from factory default as even its slowest ramp-up curve was too steep.

@chow-chihuang4903 Жыл бұрын

Though, there are many models with geared hub motors with similar or more torque capability (85-95Nm), some of which use smaller 20in wheels, which provide more mechanical advantage at the expense of lower ultimate speed. Some are available in the same price range, some a couple to few hundred higher. Some are several hundreds higher but more capable, like Amp Rides (up to 115Nm geared hub motor) or Fabulous Bikes (one or two100Nm geared hub motors). Those aren’t meant for casual or beginner riders, at least with factory default settings unlocked. That much torque can get a rider in trouble, especially if they’re not used to a motorized front wheel, which can move out from under a rider really quickly with that much torque, throwing them off the bike.

@aitb0815 Жыл бұрын

Most brand you mentioned cost double if not more.
