Please, make one similar to it Kyle! Bolton's attention to detail and passion for electric bikes would make a cruiser style bike like that a 10/10 in my book!
I currently own this e-bike and would like a trusted company to carry this bike along with upgrades and or accessories. I am very impressed with this bike as a commute bike. I am positive you will receive very favorable reviews from all owners. This bike is also easy to upgrade with additional motors along with additional batteries for distance. Please carry this bike along with upgrades.
I see one on Ebay with front suspension, fenders, side mirrors, pannier, racks, the whole 9 yards. I grabbed mine early... www.ebay.com/itm/CHEETAH-RETRO-CAFE-RACER-EBIKE-750W-750-WATTS-HD-48V17-5AH-BATTERY-26x4-TIRES/333816708016?hash=item4db906bbb0:g:zEMAAOSwsgtfzfCN
Yes I myself like the look, it looks like a motorcycle and I've rode motorcycles all my life. But like you said in your video it would nice with a suspension Fork up front.
Love the cruiser style. Would need to do something about the battery, to make it replaceable. How about a suspension seat post and a rear rack with seat and grip matching color bags?
ABSOLUTELY! This will put you in an entirely new market that caters to the older generation (50 and up). I'm 61 and I love the look. I would buy one for myself and one for my wife and we would tour in style!!!
Love it! Kind of Townie like, which I like very much. At 57 years old I ride for smiles, not miles. My days of doing century rides are past. But a cool Ebike for commuting tot he gym or store or here at work would be nice. I'm in!
Mike McMahan I have a Townie and I’m looking to purchase this bike as well. The Cheetah certainly doesn’t look like most of the other e-bikes out there.
I LOVE this bike. I purchased mine in 2019, which is the 2018 model and put 900 mile on it in the 1st year.Mine has fenders and bought a rack in case i need it. Was thinking of doing some bike touring with some Ortlieb Panniers.This one here being shown is the 2020 model that just came out a month or 2 ago.YOU WILL be getting ALOT of questions about the bike when taking it out : ). I like to drop the seat as low as it goes if i plan on using mainly throttle to give it that feel and look of a motorbike and raise it if i'm going on a long distance ride so i can peddle more to save battery life. I also have handle bars more at an angle lets say 2 o'clock to give it that that look and feel as well, this one being shown is at 3 o'clock..Yes it could use a front suspension but i think they did without to save weight or to give you a spot to mount a water bottle and FYI this is a big boy, its bout the length of a real motorbike so take that in account. I would make sure to protect it i got an Abus U-lock for the frame and a folding lock to put around my rear tire and a bike alarm : ) . I have yet to see an E-bike as cool as this one frame wise. I love the vintage look and i"m only 40.
I got mine two years ago and the first thing I did was saw off the seat post receptacle on the frame to lower the seat as low as it could go. I think it was around two inches that I cut off. Then I put some 16-inch apehangers on it. I had to splice and solder some extension wire to the throttle so it would reach the plug. I then put some white walls on it and I built a cool vintage-looking sidecar for my oldest dog. My two other dogs run alongside us. I see those ultra high-priced e-bikes that are going for the vintage look and it's nice to know that even though my bike looks way cooler, it was way cheaper. I bought it directly from the factory in china for $875.
I've always thought about doing that seat post thing like you did. Taking off 2 inches. Also thought about the side car thing when I first got my bike so I can bring a dog with me but I wouldn't know how to make one.
@@wikedt111able If you do lower the seat, make a little 3/4" slice that runs down from where you made the cut so the quick release for the seat post will still function. I wish I would have made a video of the sidecar build. There have been quite a few people who wanted to build one after seeing it. It wasn't overly difficult but it would have been easy to explain if I would have filmed the different processes. Before I started it I couldn't find any videos for a sidecar build that looked anything close to what I wanted mine to look like. Mostly, people have just made a basic platform with sides. They just look like a rolling box. Mine looks more like a vintage rocket with fins at the rear. I have been toying with the idea of painting a sharks mouth on the front like the old Flying Tiger fighter planes.
Yes this is a awesome bike just the way I like it. And yes put a suspension vork in it and an extra battery pack under the tank for the long cruises at the beach or city and just enjoy the ride😉👍👍👍
I think you should include the bike, in your inventory. Saw one similar but was like $3500 to $4500, I can get a used motorcycle at this price. Have had several motorcycles over the years, but retired now. I do like the old bike / motorcycle cruiser style. The things I would recommend: 1) fenders front and back that have reflective Pin Striping 2) tail light, integrated like motorcycles (left, right, brake 3-5 flashes) 3) beefed up railing on the rear to accommodate old style saddledbags, color to match the tank. The railing could be used for, I could build and secure a cargo box for that grocery store run. 4) Most importantly an electronic air horn to be heard, not that standard (stupid) "ding". At the minimum a wiring harness for accessories.
Just a note: The 2020 models can increase the PAS to 1-9 for more torque control. Just hold the "set" button to get into the general settings and you can change the levels. The light icon is for the tail light if you decide to get the upgrade.
I have a Cheetah and it's absolutely marvelous. I'm 72 years old and handicapped. I take my Springer spaniels out to the fields and run them. They love it and I do too. FYI front suspension would be the best option. Ride safe, pdl
I own the Cheetah Fat Tire bike., I’ve had mine for just about a year I did add a suspension seat post to it which helped with the ride, I frequently ride it on the beach I live off of Chesapeake Bay in Virginia Beach. The only problem I had with it was an error code for a hall senser And it turned out just one of the connections was not plugged in all the way. I have to say it’s been a lot of fun and I’m very pleased with it.
Do it! I think it's a 👍great looking bike and it would be a good seller. Couple mods I would add...I don't like buttons that "dont do anything". I would wire a tail light to the controller and turns on with that button. Also, If I was selling this bike, I would offer it with a front suspension fork as an upgrade.
Yes! You should definitely have a fat tire cruiser bike like this! I would love to see something very similar with some front suspension, 1000w motor, and 54v battery.
To extend the battery, you could also get a cargo rack over the front tire and hang a pair of batteries from it, wiring them back to the on-board battery.
Absolutely. For an older gentleman such as myself who has been a life long motorcyclist for over 45 years, this would be a perfect addition to my garage of E-Bikes. Go ahead. I think you can sell a container of these.
I bought one a more than a month ago and I love it. It's an excellent ride. It's all up and down where I am and the power doesn't fail me. Also the style beats other ebiks by a mile. You'll probably get lots of comments and questions when you go out. People really like the retro-styling just as I did. I want to say DON'T carry so it stays rare,. However, you really should carry this ebike for its quality and looks.
I've had one of these for a year and love it. At 53, it got me back into biking. It's funny, I have a lot of respect for you and your channel and was planning on contacting your company to see if you would recommend any upgrades for power? Or anything else?
check out Red City Chopper made by Redline i just purchased one pretty rare bike but it's as close to a Harley as you will get . Love my bike it's pretty cool
Yes!! I’m a fan of the aesthetic, and as others have tequested, a front suspension fork & fenders would be nice. I’d also prefer a step-thru, as with the RadRunner.
Hello, I actually have this bike It is set up a bit differently, Shimano Altus shifter and it's black and white with brown handles and seat. I'm from Europe and we have no dealer ( one actually, in Spain who does not respond and seems to be dead ) in the entire EU who has this bike. I actually had to buy It straight from the factory as a sample, which was no problem, since their customer support and sales lady is a treat to deal with. So polite, dependable and capable. I really recommend swapping the rigid front fork so you can enjoy this bike even on bumpy cross-country roads. I actually have two setups one for the city with road tires, a bit narrower front wheel and my custom springer fork. And another, which I'm personally really proud of, for mountains and bumpy roads - I really love the look of the offset double crown fork on this bike and I had a real hard time of finding a suitable fork like this for fat 26 tires. I ended up with used downhill fork with air pistons, I swapped those pistons for the default rigid ones (wasn't as easy as I made it sound) and it worked a charm. The good idea is to line plastic battery covers with some insulating tape, it tends to make unpleasant noises on rougher terrain otherwise.
I’ve owned this ebike since March 2021. It is great fun to ride. The retro motorcycle look has gotten me much attention from strangers. After three years of Spring to Fall Minnesota use, the life of the higher powered battery has dropped in its longevity. Using throttle only, my mileage range is around 20 miles per charge, where it started out near 30 in 2021. Assembly of the bike out of the box was not too bad. Had to completely deflate the back drive tire and buy a special needle nose vice grip tool to painstakingly put the rear fender on. That was much needed since wet dirt will spray on back your shirt. Wish there was suspension shocks on the front wheel. Seat and fat tire is ok but not the smoothest ride. One reason I wanted this design of bike was the wide handle bars which help ease up the tingling in my fingers for longer half hour rides. But beware your turning radius is compromised because of that. The thumb bell sounds like an old ice cream truck. That’s fine for politely warning people on nature trails because the bike can look intimidating to them. The saddle bags are nice for grocery shopping but are a slight pain putting on and off if you don’t want them all the time. I like keeping the bike looking good so I use disposable hands wipes. No water hose where the drive chain or motor could rust. That means time consuming meticulous care, so ya gotta love this machine like a relic sports car. I take the battery out and store it room temperature for winter months. Oh, I’ve had revamp it a little. A local bike shop adjusted the back brakes because they were only partially engaging ( maybe 40% ) of the disc. The factory set screw stripped on the throttle switch so I drilled a slightly bigger hole to implement a bigger holding screw. That’s worked pretty well now for two years. Hopes this helps to give you a more real idea what it’s like to have this bike. It’s been great fun and I still love it but if I were to buy again, I would get a similar designed bike that looks as good but definitely has a front wheel suspension shock absorber.
Everyone is mentioning the need for a fork suspension, I own a Cheetah, it's not a mountain bike. If you're on a road or path it rides like butter. Adding a front suspension would increase the cost by $300 to $600 and $2,500 (fully loaded) is what I spent, I'm more than satisfied with it as is. Love it!!!
Yes. This is what I'm looking for. I need an urban utility that can sometimes go the distance. Might be absolutely perfect - wanna try it first, though - that stark upright position looks a little . . . weird. Like other commentators, my first choice would be a Bolton brand name on such an eBike.
Any E-bike with the looks of the retro bike is a must carry, even temporarily. You have to see if the market will bear it, but I think there are people out there that would truly enjoy it.
This is cool! I like the way it hides the battery and the comfortable riding position. I also like the big highlight. Cool bike. Vote to include into your stock pile.
Man, you have every other style of e bike, go for it, i wish i would have found out about Bolton bikes Bedford I ordered a bike, i will definitely try to save up if I can and order from Bolton bikes
Was immediately drawn to the bike's classic look. Wondering what kind of matching leather bag I can put on the front, so I can ride it to/from work and be able to take a few things with me each day (lunch, laptop, etc.)
Loved where the battery is stored which makes the "looks" of the bike very clean. Unfortunately that is also a concern if the battery needs replacing as the battery form factor is custom made for this bike.
Definitely! Add a bobber style rear fender and shocks up front...keep the price reasonable and in line with your current offerings and you’ll have a guaranteed winner!
Yes, I think many customers are looking for a Cruiser style bike, but not with proprietary parts like that battery. My wife's folding bike I added a swept back handlebar for upright sitting and comfort. On my 2016 Radrover I shortened the stem for a more upright position too.
I really like the looks of the Cheetah. I bought what you now call the Foxbat last year and I have been very pleased with it but I would get the Cheetah because of both the looks and the upright riding position, (depending, of course, on the cost). As you may remember, I am 80 now and the swept-back handlebars and what looks like road tires are what works best for me. However, as I did with the Foxbat, I would want to add some things such as tire liners, a rear rack, and a tail light and, I probably would like it even better if you built something similar. But lacking that, yeah I would buy the Cheetah.
Yes, you should offer such a bike. I have a friend (70 yr old) that sold his original eBike because it was too uncomfortable for his 6’3” and 230:lbs size. He had a heck of a time finding bike that fit his comfort zone. Thanks for your review.
You know, you can use regular motorcycle bags also! I bought some bags from Amazon...really nice. Also you can make your own(military shops etc...) Did this for my e-bike, looks fantastic.
This is one of coolest cruiser ebikes out there. Add that your own review indicated quality all around which makes it a no brainer. You should definitely carry this bike.
Yep I do, I haven't been on a Bolton but they look like they are a solid Ebike. I currently ride a Super73 and love it. I live in the city so a cruiser is my thing.
I have had a Cheetah for over two years and it is my daily transportation. I modified it a bit by cutting the seat tube down as low as I could and still have the clamp work (about two inches}. I put on a rear rack so I could attach my saddlebags. And I put 13" ape hanger handlebars on it along with whitewall tires. Every two or three months I re-upholster the "gas tank" with one of my no longer wearable psychedelic shirts. I have also made a really cool vintage looking sidecar for it that my oldest dog sits in while the other two dogs trot along next to us. All in all, it's an eyecatcher and I receive between ten to thirty compliments on it each and every day. These bikes go for around $2,500 in Southern California but I got mine direct from the factory in China for $875. I live on an island 26 miles off the coast of California that is mostly steep hills and this bike has held up surprisingly well.
Almost bought that bike last week but I wanted something with off road capability. Saw this bike and fell I love with it instantly. Sat on it and really liked the feel. It looks even better with the leather bag on the handlebars, fenders, and panier bags over the rear rack. You are showing the basic version. The other one looks way cooler when it’s loaded.
Bonnie Cureton I bought a Juiced Rip Current S. Won’t deliver til mid sept. 750w hub, front suspension, throttle, PAS to 28 mph. I like the handlebars too. A little more upright.
I 100% agree that more and more riders are starting to gravitate towards motorcycle-style and/or moped-style ebikes, and I think they are only going to grow in popularity moving forward. Something else you should consider is something like the Sondors MadMods (you've probably seen them?). I think they are going to hit a real sweet spot with the combination of the moped/motorbike-style frame and 24" fat tires. It seems very unique to me, and owning an upgraded RadRunner 1 myself, I kinda wish it had 24" tires vs the 20's it comes with.
I like it, I think it fits well with your “Fat Tire” arsenal. Might be just the thing to get my wife to share in my enthusiasm. Can’t wait for my Blackbird-November shipment.
I’ve owned this Bike. Bought it used but due to family outgrowing their old bikes and the need to upgrade them, I had to sell it. I ended up selling it for $500 over what I paid used. Bought a new Lectric XP and two good non electric bikes for the kids for what I sold it for. Only down sides was size and weight. It’s huge and heavy. And it looks like a motorcycle. When you are on bike trails you get funny looks.
I think this bike is sexy, i would definitely buy this. Truth. I saw you in another video talking about e-bike laws maybe? And frankly i was just checking out the bike the whole time.
Yea for sure, the Cheeta is done right. a solid quick cruiser. I have built super cruisers and sold them online and usually, the people who bought the super Cruisers had back Problems and lived in Hilly areas. So, if it can climb and ride comfortably and has Good Looks too, you have a winner. Although I would only build with a mid-drive for more torque.
You know they say that "Cheetah's never prosper", but I like it. I really like fat tire bikes and I like ebikes that look like vintage motorcycles, however, I'm not a big fan of hub drives, though I bought two hub drive wheels when I first started my ebike build, after reading review after review about the pros and cons of hub drive versus mid drive motors, I decided that hub drive motors, just had too many cons for my taste. It probably doesn't matter unless you're climbing some pretty vertical bike trails, but I want the power to do that, should I ever want to. But I digress, I really like this style of ebike as long as the fat tires aren't slick, I like aggressive tread on my bike tires.
Kyle; I enjoy all your videos. My wife and I are retired and just got an RV. We are interested in getting E-Bikes so to make is easier to get around and have a little fun. That said, I am definitely interested in a fat tire cruiser E-Bike.
I like the look. Motor and battery as shown are the right size. It would even be cool to see an option with an old fashion Army Air Corp P-40 paint scheme.
I think you should make one. Preferably with a 1000 watt motor. I think Soul is the only one doing something like that but they are very expensive. Also, a more standard battery would be perfect.
I have always loved the bike... Yes!!! In my humble opinion you should carry the bike because I am considering buying it... No one here in Ormond Beach Florida wants to carry it because they don't want to work on it... They don't warranty it so I would be relying on you for parts extra parts and the warranties... Thank you for your business and you're consideration to bicyclists who are interested in e-bikes
Yes... We need more styles of ebikes as many places as possible!! The more applications these bikes offer, the more people become interested for their personal needs and preferences, the more places we ALL can have our ebikes!!
Bro the wife an I are considering ebikes and just because I have watched your vids if and when we do purchase bolton will be our first choice!!! Very informative, very non biased, you earned a subscriber.
I can also say that I do like the new hyper scorpion from Juiced bikes my neighbor bought one it has a very comfortable seat it's low profile it's easy to ride and it's got power like no other by cab Road. I love the headlight the integrated brake light turn signals and even though side mirrors and the fact that it's got an alarm on it is pretty cool with a key to turn it on and off. I own a bintelli M3 it does not have any of that stuff I had to put on the fenders the rack everything
Yes I feel you should absolutely add it to your collection of e bikes that you offer. I’m a big fan of fat tire bikes and presently shopping around trying to decide the best bike to purchase. And I appreciate your honesty and explanation about the bike also your experience thank you.
I like the general concept except I would alter a few things - make the headlight a little smaller and add a suspended front fork, add front and rear fenders and make it a little less tall for shorter riders.
I used to have a Honda V45 Magna. So this type of cruiser is appealing to me. For relaxing long commutes this is a way to go. If there was a battery upgrade without sacrificing aesthetics that would be great.
Love the look of that bike. Waiting for my Warthog to arrive, which will be my first ebike. Would I have a second one? Not sure, but to balance the Warthog a cruiser for runs into town and on the local trail system might be nice. Definitely would own two if my wife decides she wants one. But she is 5'2" and would need a step-through for sure. Not sure if that helps in your decision but that is the coolest looking cruiser I have seen.
Do you think we should have a cruiser fat tire bike that looks like this?
YES. This Chopper is bad ass.
Absolutely! That thing looks sweet! Kinda reminds me of a cafe racer style motorcycle.
Looks very nice
Please, make one similar to it Kyle! Bolton's attention to detail and passion for electric bikes would make a cruiser style bike like that a 10/10 in my book!
HOW MUCH? Before I order one?
I currently own this e-bike and would like a trusted company to carry this bike along with upgrades and or accessories. I am very impressed with this bike as a commute bike. I am positive you will receive very favorable reviews from all owners. This bike is also easy to upgrade with additional motors along with additional batteries for distance. Please carry this bike along with upgrades.
How much does this thing weight?
Yes, I’d like to see you carry this style. I agree, it needs a suspension fork and fenders to complete the look w more functionality.
You should carry this style, looks very sharp.
The himiway cruiser has fenders and a suspension fork
I TOTALLY AGREE with Bob! Front suspension & Fenders would ENHANCE the Nostalgic Motorbike style the bike.
The battery size is also small , it definitely needs an upgrade along with front shocks and fenders !!
I see one on Ebay with front suspension, fenders, side mirrors, pannier, racks, the whole 9 yards. I grabbed mine early... www.ebay.com/itm/CHEETAH-RETRO-CAFE-RACER-EBIKE-750W-750-WATTS-HD-48V17-5AH-BATTERY-26x4-TIRES/333816708016?hash=item4db906bbb0:g:zEMAAOSwsgtfzfCN

definitely offer a cruiser. however, I would prefer a fork with shock absorbers.
bingo the no sale point well taken.
More weight w/ suspension.

Absolutely gorgeous ! Clean looks, no cable mess. Would absolutely buy, but I stick to my old Bobber bike for mow Good review, bro
Harley-Davidson has prototype for Electric Bicycles - they need to look at this design for inspiration
check out Red City Chopper made by Redline i just purchased one pretty rare bike but it's as close to a Harley as you will get . Love my bike it's pretty cool
Harley have made their ebike and this bike looks much better.
Absolutely, there's always a market for cruisers and that's one handsome bike for sure 👍
Bring it on, wins on looks alone. Well made, well equipped. Price right? Great cruising scoot
Yes!!! Get one!!! I own one!!! Revi Cheetah. Besides no one on youtube have information on the bike... Your my only hope.
Yes!! I’m a fan of the aesthetic, and as others have tequested, a front suspension fork & fenders would be nice. I’d also prefer a step-thru, as with the RadRunner.
Hello, I actually have this bike It is set up a bit differently, Shimano Altus shifter and it's black and white with brown handles and seat. I'm from Europe and we have no dealer ( one actually, in Spain who does not respond and seems to be dead ) in the entire EU who has this bike. I actually had to buy It straight from the factory as a sample, which was no problem, since their customer support and sales lady is a treat to deal with. So polite, dependable and capable.
I really recommend swapping the rigid front fork so you can enjoy this bike even on bumpy cross-country roads. I actually have two setups one for the city with road tires, a bit narrower front wheel and my custom springer fork. And another, which I'm personally really proud of, for mountains and bumpy roads - I really love the look of the offset double crown fork on this bike and I had a real hard time of finding a suitable fork like this for fat 26 tires. I ended up with used downhill fork with air pistons, I swapped those pistons for the default rigid ones (wasn't as easy as I made it sound) and it worked a charm. The good idea is to line plastic battery covers with some insulating tape, it tends to make unpleasant noises on rougher terrain otherwise.
Nice looking Cruiser Bike I think you should carry them there was no mention of the cost?
I’ve owned this ebike since March 2021.
It is great fun to ride. The retro motorcycle look has gotten me much attention from strangers. After three years of Spring to Fall Minnesota use, the life of the higher powered battery has dropped in its longevity. Using throttle only, my mileage range is around 20 miles per charge, where it started out near 30 in 2021.
Assembly of the bike out of the box
was not too bad. Had to completely deflate the back drive tire and buy a special needle nose vice grip tool to painstakingly put the rear fender on. That was much needed since wet dirt will spray on back your shirt. Wish there was suspension shocks on the front wheel. Seat and fat tire is ok but not the smoothest ride. One reason I wanted this design of bike was the wide handle bars which help ease up the tingling in my fingers for longer half hour rides. But beware your turning radius is compromised because of that. The thumb bell sounds like an old ice cream truck. That’s fine for politely warning people on nature trails because the bike can look intimidating to them.
The saddle bags are nice for grocery shopping but are a slight pain putting on and off if you don’t want them all the time. I like keeping the bike looking good so I use disposable hands wipes. No water hose where the drive chain or motor could rust. That means time consuming meticulous care, so ya gotta love this machine like a relic sports car.
I take the battery out and store it room temperature for winter months.
Oh, I’ve had revamp it a little. A local bike shop adjusted the back brakes because they were only partially engaging ( maybe 40% ) of the disc.
The factory set screw stripped on the throttle switch so I drilled a slightly bigger hole to implement a bigger holding screw. That’s worked pretty well now for two years.
Hopes this helps to give you a more real idea what it’s like to have this bike.
It’s been great fun and I still love it but if I were to buy again, I would get a similar designed bike that looks as good but definitely has a front wheel suspension shock absorber.
Yes, I think you should sell this model. Interested in shipping time and price. Thanks.
Everyone is mentioning the need for a fork suspension, I own a Cheetah, it's not a mountain bike. If you're on a road or path it rides like butter.
Adding a front suspension would increase the cost by $300 to $600 and $2,500 (fully loaded) is what I spent, I'm more than satisfied with it as is. Love it!!!
it sucks when who hit a pot hole >.>
Yes. This is what I'm looking for. I need an urban utility that can sometimes go the distance. Might be absolutely perfect - wanna try it first, though - that stark upright position looks a little . . . weird. Like other commentators, my first choice would be a Bolton brand name on such an eBike.
Any E-bike with the looks of the retro bike is a must carry, even temporarily. You have to see if the market will bear it, but I think there are people out there that would truly enjoy it.
Yes! Love the look of this bike. More my speed.
This is cool! I like the way it hides the battery and the comfortable riding position. I also like the big highlight. Cool bike. Vote to include into your stock pile.
Man, you have every other style of e bike, go for it, i wish i would have found out about Bolton bikes Bedford I ordered a bike, i will definitely try to save up if I can and order from Bolton bikes
Yes. Please offer this bike. Best style I've seen so far.
Exactly what we like, being senior citizens (boomers ), not into riding my wrists.
Was immediately drawn to the bike's classic look. Wondering what kind of matching leather bag I can put on the front, so I can ride it to/from work and be able to take a few things with me each day (lunch, laptop, etc.)
I'm ready to place my order when you have them available
Loved where the battery is stored which makes the "looks" of the bike very clean. Unfortunately that is also a concern if the battery needs replacing as the battery form factor is custom made for this bike.
FTH Power and Hi-C Battery rebuilds ebike batteries
Reminds me of Steve McQueen in Great Escape.
Needs front forks that are sprong.
Needs side car😜
Yeah there is McQueen Cheetah and another Cheetah with front suspension being sold on Ebay.
Definitely! Add a bobber style rear fender and shocks up front...keep the price reasonable and in line with your current offerings and you’ll have a guaranteed winner!
It would be great with some of your possible upgrades.
Yes, I think many customers are looking for a Cruiser style bike, but not with proprietary parts like that battery. My wife's folding bike I added a swept back handlebar for upright sitting and comfort. On my 2016 Radrover I shortened the stem for a more upright position too.
Yes, Yes this great and You should sell them!
I really like the looks of the Cheetah. I bought what you now call the Foxbat last year and I have been very pleased with it but I would get the Cheetah because of both the looks and the upright riding position, (depending, of course, on the cost). As you may remember, I am 80 now and the swept-back handlebars and what looks like road tires are what works best for me. However, as I did with the Foxbat, I would want to add some things such as tire liners, a rear rack, and a tail light and, I probably would like it even better if you built something similar. But lacking that, yeah I would buy the Cheetah.
I am very interested in the fat tire cruiser style ebike. I’d also be interested in what you could come up with in this class. Thank you Kyle!
Thanks for watching Frank!
@@Area13ebikes gear box belt drive with sus forks and dual batt with leather saddles on the back....yea that would do it.
Yes, you should carry a fat tire cruiser bike! I'll buy one to add to my collection of 9 fat tire cruisers. Love them
Good style, find a nice rear rack for it.
Yes, would be a great addition to the Bolton line. Would like to see a rear cargo rack possibly with panniers as well
30 miles on a battery.
4 miles with light on....😂
I'm almost 300 lbs and I've ridden it 16.5 miles throttle only at night with the high beam on and had over half a battery left. Hope this helps.
@kim james Really? 😂
I sell them for a living.
It was a joke......
@kim james 70% on avg.
🤘🙏😊
@@Geopoliticstoday2 Why so many ( ...... ) after your comments? Multiple dot dot dots are just wrong. Not a joke, period.
Yes, you should offer such a bike. I have a friend (70 yr old) that sold his original eBike because it was too uncomfortable for his 6’3” and 230:lbs size. He had a heck of a time finding bike that fit his comfort zone. Thanks for your review.
Yes, this bike is sick! I wish the fuel tank was like a trunk, so you could hide your wallet, etc in there.
Maybe some cool leather bags in the rear.
@@richmccay-read6389 they have those available
You know, you can use regular motorcycle bags also! I bought some bags from Amazon...really nice. Also you can make your own(military shops etc...) Did this for my e-bike, looks fantastic.
That's great foresight would be great with glove box
It would be a bit of a pain to get to since you need allen keys to open it
Aye that intro bro. That’s what I call a content creator
Now I like that💗
This is one of coolest cruiser ebikes out there. Add that your own review indicated quality all around which makes it a no brainer. You should definitely carry this bike.
Love It ❤️ suspension upgrade could be a good addition. U should have this bike ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ well presented video
I love it! :) Just wish it (e-bikes) were more affordable. :(
Yep I do, I haven't been on a Bolton but they look like they are a solid Ebike. I currently ride a Super73 and love it. I live in the city so a cruiser is my thing.
I have had a Cheetah for over two years and it is my daily transportation. I modified it a bit by cutting the seat tube down as low as I could and still have the clamp work (about two inches}. I put on a rear rack so I could attach my saddlebags. And I put 13" ape hanger handlebars on it along with whitewall tires. Every two or three months I re-upholster the "gas tank" with one of my no longer wearable psychedelic shirts. I have also made a really cool vintage looking sidecar for it that my oldest dog sits in while the other two dogs trot along next to us. All in all, it's an eyecatcher and I receive between ten to thirty compliments on it each and every day. These bikes go for around $2,500 in Southern California but I got mine direct from the factory in China for $875. I live on an island 26 miles off the coast of California that is mostly steep hills and this bike has held up surprisingly well.
Almost bought that bike last week but I wanted something with off road capability. Saw this bike and fell I love with it instantly. Sat on it and really liked the feel. It looks even better with the leather bag on the handlebars, fenders, and panier bags over the rear rack. You are showing the basic version. The other one looks way cooler when it’s loaded.
I'm looking for one with off road capability also, what did you end up buying?
Bonnie Cureton I bought a Juiced Rip Current S. Won’t deliver til mid sept. 750w hub, front suspension, throttle, PAS to 28 mph. I like the handlebars too. A little more upright.
I 100% agree that more and more riders are starting to gravitate towards motorcycle-style and/or moped-style ebikes, and I think they are only going to grow in popularity moving forward. Something else you should consider is something like the Sondors MadMods (you've probably seen them?). I think they are going to hit a real sweet spot with the combination of the moped/motorbike-style frame and 24" fat tires. It seems very unique to me, and owning an upgraded RadRunner 1 myself, I kinda wish it had 24" tires vs the 20's it comes with.
I like it, I think it fits well with your “Fat Tire” arsenal.
Might be just the thing to get my wife to share in my enthusiasm.
Can’t wait for my Blackbird-November shipment.
I’ve owned this Bike. Bought it used but due to family outgrowing their old bikes and the need to upgrade them, I had to sell it. I ended up selling it for $500 over what I paid used. Bought a new Lectric XP and two good non electric bikes for the kids for what I sold it for. Only down sides was size and weight. It’s huge and heavy. And it looks like a motorcycle. When you are on bike trails you get funny looks.
I think this bike is sexy, i would definitely buy this. Truth. I saw you in another video talking about e-bike laws maybe? And frankly i was just checking out the bike the whole time.
It looks pretty cool, with nice features. Definitely consider carrying these!
It’s a nice looking bike. I would get one if I had the money. I agree, all it needs is shocks and it’s golden. I also like how the battery is hidden.
Hi. I own this bike. 2 Years now. Luv it.
Yea for sure, the Cheeta is done right. a solid quick cruiser. I have built super cruisers and sold them online and usually, the people who bought the super Cruisers had back Problems and lived in Hilly areas. So, if it can climb and ride comfortably and has Good Looks too, you have a winner. Although I would only build with a mid-drive for more torque.
You know they say that "Cheetah's never prosper", but I like it. I really like fat tire bikes and I like ebikes that look like vintage motorcycles, however, I'm not a big fan of hub drives, though I bought two hub drive wheels when I first started my ebike build, after reading review after review about the pros and cons of hub drive versus mid drive motors, I decided that hub drive motors, just had too many cons for my taste. It probably doesn't matter unless you're climbing some pretty vertical bike trails, but I want the power to do that, should I ever want to. But I digress, I really like this style of ebike as long as the fat tires aren't slick, I like aggressive tread on my bike tires.
Looks like a great bike, thanks for your review. You should carry this bike.
Kyle; I enjoy all your videos. My wife and I are retired and just got an RV. We are interested in getting E-Bikes so to make is easier to get around and have a little fun. That said, I am definitely interested in a fat tire cruiser E-Bike.
I love this bike for all the right reasons! I hope that you get it!
I like the look. Motor and battery as shown are the right size. It would even be cool to see an option with an old fashion Army Air Corp P-40 paint scheme.
I think you should make one. Preferably with a 1000 watt motor. I think Soul is the only one doing something like that but they are very expensive. Also, a more standard battery would be perfect.
Maybe just maybe add a dual motor and some kind of fork shocks and a custom rear suspension would be very nice compliment with the aggressive look
Yes, you should have a fat tire cruiser bike, I’m very interested in them....more power please.
I have always loved the bike... Yes!!! In my humble opinion you should carry the bike because I am considering buying it... No one here in Ormond Beach Florida wants to carry it because they don't want to work on it... They don't warranty it so I would be relying on you for parts extra parts and the warranties... Thank you for your business and you're consideration to bicyclists who are interested in e-bikes
Yes... We need more styles of ebikes as many places as possible!! The more applications these bikes offer, the more people become interested for their personal needs and preferences, the more places we ALL can have our ebikes!!
Yes it is a bike that I would be interested in. The retro look of an older motorcycle .
Bro the wife an I are considering ebikes and just because I have watched your vids if and when we do purchase bolton will be our first choice!!!
Very informative, very non biased, you earned a subscriber.
I can also say that I do like the new hyper scorpion from Juiced bikes my neighbor bought one it has a very comfortable seat it's low profile it's easy to ride and it's got power like no other by cab Road. I love the headlight the integrated brake light turn signals and even though side mirrors and the fact that it's got an alarm on it is pretty cool with a key to turn it on and off. I own a bintelli M3 it does not have any of that stuff I had to put on the fenders the rack everything
Yes I feel you should absolutely add it to your collection of e bikes that you offer. I’m a big fan of fat tire bikes and presently shopping around trying to decide the best bike to purchase. And I appreciate your honesty and explanation about the bike also your experience thank you.
yes it is a great idea. It needs fenders and rack in the back , maybe even a saddle bag option to run to the store.
I like the general concept except I would alter a few things - make the headlight a little smaller and add a suspended front fork, add front and rear fenders and make it a little less tall for shorter riders.
I used to have a Honda V45 Magna. So this type of cruiser is appealing to me. For relaxing long commutes this is a way to go. If there was a battery upgrade without sacrificing aesthetics that would be great.
Love the look of that bike. Waiting for my Warthog to arrive, which will be my first ebike. Would I have a second one? Not sure, but to balance the Warthog a cruiser for runs into town and on the local trail system might be nice. Definitely would own two if my wife decides she wants one. But she is 5'2" and would need a step-through for sure. Not sure if that helps in your decision but that is the coolest looking cruiser I have seen.
My team can absolutely help your wife find her perfect ebike. Just send us an email to info@boltonebikes.com :)
Definitely carry it, it’s a solid bike.
A friend owns one of these. He is enjoying it. No problems so far.
This cruiser style is too awesome not to have as an offering from Bolton Ebikes. Build them Kyle, people will buy.
