bit.ly/fission-hellbender - Click here to buy Fission Hellbender and see current price
This might be the strongest "towing power" electric bicycle with pedals I've ever rode. Top speed is not the specialty of this machine, this ebike is excellent for towing heavy weight and hill climbing situations, this could be a good hunting ebike. This video showcases the massive 160nm of torque the Fission Hellbender is capable of delivering courtesy of the Bafang Ultra mid drive motor powered with a strong 48v 20ah battery pack. I drained the battery a bit quicker than most ebikes I review on this channel, but I did push it very hard since it was capable of handling extreme towing and sand riding. Hope you enjoy the video and if you wanna grab on of these please click the link a the top of this text to support my channel and get the best price.

There are smaller chain rings and adapters for the 620 if you need more low-end as well as shorter crank arms for short legs or avoiding pedal strikes on serious off-road rides.

Seems like its own category of ebike. Better than other "hunting" ebikes I've seen. I think dual hub motors would suit such a bike better, especially with that trailer hitch position. Would have liked so see braking tests with 190lbs on trailer.

Although irrelevant for an e-bike review/test (for us city folk anyway), I enjoyed that sand berm test at 21:47. Agree, I don't think any bike would make it up that berm, unless the bike has a track drive (think snowmobile or M1 Abrams ).

I have a Biktrix with this motor, but I have a Sram 11x1 driveset. I can tell you are used to hub drive motors. With this motor, you really have to use the gears, like driving a motorcycle. If you want natural pedal assist feel, but still want big torque, the Bafang Ultra is the way to go. Just make sure you run a high quality chain and check it for stretch, because that motor will wear out chains.

@richardharker2775 2 ай бұрын

By comparison a 300cc Honda motorcycle has a torque figure of only 27Nm. But I got the feeling you were having massive fun this day. For someone who has a small business this rig with the trailer will cover a lot of tasks.

Would be very helpful if you would include a review section on all bikes, of the control panel, what settings are necessary to ride the bike, to get max. speed, and what settings and functons are available at the control panel, and which are not. Was this review of the 750 or 1000W bike?? Tires look like the 4.7" tire on the more expensive bike.

Just an fyi for these powerful mid-drives. On throttle you can often get higher top speeds by choosing a lower gear. This motor will spin at 160+ rpm. Much faster than you can pedal. But top speed is limited on these by power. Mine will hit 4km/h faster on gear 7 than gear 8

As usual, another entertaining and informative review by Matt. (Indeed, I have four e-bikes and don't need another; but I like watching THTV's reviews to stay up on what's what, and being entertained watching the happenings in Santa Monica, where my ex-GF lives.) Regarding this bike, it seems a tad much for what it is, but I duly note you get what you pay for (e.g., that Bafang; quality brakes, frame, and full suspension). Interesting they don't include front and rear lights. The website shows the front light listed for $40. Assuming it cost them $20 wholesale, why not just include it on their $4,000 bike. Not sure what's going on there.

@markybolton Ай бұрын

Thinking about it. They are probably thinking that these will be used out in the woods where most people will upgrade this to the brightest light!

The link you post takes you to the 750 W model not the Bafang Ultra 620 1000W which is $4,800 Also, learn to back off the power for a second when you shift, otherwise you'll be replacing chains and cassettes all the time. Thanks, I enjoy your reviews and am pleased you are starting to review higher end bikes.

I know the mid Bosch motor on my bike auto releases drive for a split second to allow smooth changes , no crunching etc , I wonder if this does the same , or as you say ripped up chains and cassettes , I home it has an extra strong chain to cope with the torque 😁

Perhaps he misspoke, but riding at nearly full throttle “all day” is a little misleading. If you’re pulling 1500 watts continuously from a 960 watt hour battery, you’ll get about 40 minutes from full charge to dead. Realistically more like 30 minutes before range anxiety kicks in.

I bought this bike based on this review. I received a bike that would not go as fast as tail Happy said that it would. Also, the bike had a pronounced clunk coming from the motor, confirmed by a local bike shop, to Fission. Fission Bikes did not offer to replace the bike or the clunking motor, and refused to pay return shipping. Beware of Fission Bikes and this bike.

For 4k you can buy a full purpose built e mountain from many other companys with far better components like haibike with😮 & a better mid drive mounted motor for me this ebike has no buisness at being £4000 when it probably cost them about £1000 or less to make & build it is shockingly bad value for money at that price it should be half the retail price there asking in my opinion what a rip off at that price
