Earlier this year, I ditched my DIY electric bikes and gambled on a mostly pre-assembled fat-tyre low-rider I found on amazon. Following my unboxing video, I have been met with insane public demand (I saw at least 2 comments) asking for an update, so I have put my video making skills to the test to produce this sort of a review but not really. Enjoy!

Increasing the "wheel diameter" in the settings does not make the bike go any faster, it just does the math of showing that a larger wheel, spinning at the SAME RPMs would create a higher speed. But because your physical wheel is STILL 20 inches, it makes the bike no faster. It just makes the display "in error read faster than your actual travelled speed".

Hello. I see that you know electric bicycles well. I want to buy one, but I have no way to try them. That's why I would appreciate it if you could advise me on a model. I tell you my needs. I am 70 years old and I am 5'5". I weigh 70 kg. I want it to walk, mainly on steep mountain trails. I don't need speed, but I do need it to be able to climb steep trails without having to pedal.

This is also a 1000 watt system - Can't speak on the reseller, tbh I just took somewhat of a gamble the 1 with most / highest reviews on amazon. If you can afford it, find one with 1500w or better battery specs as sometimes the speed and battery power can be limiting unless you're just using it for short inner-city commutes.

You have certain amount of power and no more. Normally the 1000w motors are the ones that reach 30mph in escooter and bikes, being a 500w it will give you ''half''(15mph with 25nm of torque maybe) of that. Heck my 1000w scooter has half the torques of my 1000w ebike.... bbeing half he size of the wheel :10"(30nm of torque) VS 26""(60nm of torque) and my scooter STILL reaches 30mph.... ( 33mph and 27mph) respectively. So no I don't is accurate like you said you don't feel the extra milage because you don't have the extra power, lacking compared to the other 1000w ebikes

The bike I've got to sell I was doing 30mph police car came up behind I seen him in mirror I slowed down and started to peddle he stopped behind me for a few minutes then turned of. Ask Andy kirby my partner has a 250wat it does 23mph it's a flold bike if you sit and ues throttle and go to high speed then that's when police get your attention. If you do get court you get a warning but who is going to put number plate on a ebike mountain high power it would look bloody stupid. The government it's an excuse to make money.
