Hello Stky. I am a 13 year old who has been trying for ages to save up enough money ever since to get my dream bike. It's the Maniacc Flyer and I was really hoping if I could do some video editing, thumbnails, or posters probably for the bike at a discount or gifted to me probably? I would like to use the bike to start content creating since all im stuck with is walmart bikes and I dont think they will help me improve as everytime I crash they just break completely. Please consider 🙏🙏

Okay so can't you like reduce the power output so that the range doubles or triples? Also I don't get the weight okay so it's a 40 lb bike but it's only like 20 lb heavier than your average bike that's really not much weight. Like between 35 and 40 years old I jumped up 40lbs but I can still bike like a champ... 40 lb ain't shit.

I actually really like the look of this bike. I like how it's easy to work on and all the components are separated so they're easily accessible. I kind of hate the banana seats or some of the other designs of other electric BMXs. This one hands down is way nicer in my opinion. Bike chains have always been a risk of catching pants so don't wear pants to snag in bike chains.

I have the Aventon Soltera, it has a throttle, and I’ve always gone anywhere I want with it, so I think it would work great on this bike too. I think it’s more of a company preference not to add a throttle, many companies look down on throttle bikes.

I’ve messed with the settings to get a little faster with pedal assist when really pedaling like crazy, but there is no work around with the throttle. You need to be in S mode to do 28 mph, not N mode, double check to make sure that you have switched modes. Let me know if that works for ya 😎

So what do you like more, the cadence or torque sensor soltera? I test rode the version 2 and found the power to be rough with a higher pitched whine versus the cadence. Power delivery too seemed kinda lumpy, like the dead zones of the pedal stroke would cause the motor cause micro surges.
@stkyfngez
@stkyfngez Ай бұрын
I know exactly what you mean, and I felt the exact same way the first time I test drove it. The second time I tried the torque sensor, I got a feel for it, naturally found my groove, and experienced no lumpiness going forward. I currently prefer a torque, and going back to a cadence would now feel strange. I hope that makes sense. 😎
