The Velowave e-bike is a practical electric bike that will get you around town! Rugged and clean looking! Got about 23 miles on one charge, at 19.8mph. Good ride quality and overall a decent bike!

Hey just wanted to let you know that the reason why it was limiting you at 20MPH is because you were holding down the throttle the whole time while pedaling. The throttle is limited to 20mph, but the moment you let go of the throttle, while pedaling, you'll feel the bike take off at a much higher speed. I've got mine to 35 MPH (this was me pedaling as hard as I could, combined with the level 5 pedal assist). Great video!
I don't recall pedalling for a top speed in this video
@@TheInja I think he was letting you know since you said it doesn't go past 20mph like most factory bikes and that's only for the throttle mechanism. With Pedal Assist you can get up to 28mph per the description of the bike on Amazon.
@@TheInja How did you turn on your lights
@@TheInja Whoosh.. When you test out a product try all features including PA only..
@@Beon-18 hold the plus button for 3 seconds
Bought one based on this video. I have also have a Yamaha Moro mountain e-bike. Two very different bikes at different price points. The Ranger definitely is faster with pedal assist at 28mph. The biggest complaint I have against it is a lack of gear range and it's not practical to think you will be happy riding it with no assist. I live in the country and ride in to work a few miles the Ranger will be a better choice for speed but it is not a competator for actual mountain biking (no suprise here). Overall I'm extremely happy with the purchase and am excited to put many more miles on it.
Another fun video! Thanks Mr.Inja!
omfg i'm so glad i saw you post this one because this is the first bike that got me introduced to ebikes and ive been waiting to see if i want to buy this one or something different and i love that it's good for what it is but i still cant get over the nireeka i was so close to buying this one a couple months ago but I think i'm going to go all out and buy the nireeka! again awesome videos man i appreciate your videos and recommendation!
Most underrated CZcamsr i know, you make great videos i like to watch them they are very good! One day u will reach a million subscribers i know it:) stay safe!.
Man I’ve been watching you since 10k subscribers and I just knew something about your energy was gonna take you somewhere, and here you are sitting at just over 200k really happy to see how far you’ve gotten because you seem like a really cool honest guy and I can’t wait to see your content in the coming years💪🏽
Hugely appreciated. Glad you've been enjoying for so long!
@@TheInja hey I'm super curious, at around the 1500 to $2,000 price range what do you think the best bang for your buck electric bicycle would be? Assuming they have the essential stuff like removable batteries, etc. I would like it to be in a similar shape to this bike, I don't really like the low riding ones or the cruiser ones... I don't care if it has a fat tire or regular tire and I'm mainly going to use this on the road but occasionally on a trail. And like you mentioned towards the end of this video are there any around the price range that I mentioned that goes between 20 and 28 mph that you would recommend? And possibly foldable if there are any in this criteria that I listed at this price range
Edit*** jumbled my words but u get what I mean
You have come a long way. Happy for you. Congrats for 200k. Keep it up!
NGL, that’s probably one of the most standard and classic looking electric bike out there with a very standard price tag. I heard mid-range electric bikes usually costs $1,000-$2,500 and that bike is really right in between $1,000 and $2,500.
Budget friendly I'm going to buy one now 🤣
My uncle has one of them. I rode it for the first time I love it so much! When I purchase a bike in the future this is what imma get
As he's talking about the hydraulic brakes, I seen the seat stays and thought it had V-Brake mounts then I realized it was a rack mount.... Looks like an awesome bike and it might have add ons.
Edit: I know there are a couple of videos on how to unlock the velowave and other E-bikes...
Also, most people ride these types of bikes on pedal assist. So the lowest milage would be 22.6. add in any pedal assistance and that means it's going even farther!
I appreciate the review, this is the bike I'm looking at. Hoping to be able to unlock it. Also speaking as someone that bit it bad once, helmets are a good thing.
This was random... I was looking into e bikes and your video came up. What shocked me was we live in the same city/area. Nice review man.
Great vid. Been researching ebikes and on my budget this where I top out. Think I will pull the trigger.
I got the silver one and overall it is a great bike.
Really awesome video and I still think you should see if you can get your hands on an onyx rcr
Did you try the power button tick in the online manual? --- With the display powered on, if you quickly press the power. button twice, it will shift into the parameter setting menu. Users are NOT supposed to change the factory default settings. You may exit by quickly pressing the power. button twice again or leave it without operation for 30 seconds.
Such a good video
I do like the frame but not bring able to unlock the speed is something I would never buy. I need a right hand twist throttle and this has the twist shift on the right side so that is also a deal breaker. So far I like what you once called the best ebike you had ridden at the time and that is the Cyrusher. You were able to unlock that one and it has all of the features I like. Twist throttle, full suspension and hydraulic brakes.
Still love the Cyrushers. Actually the only ones we kept for ourselves.
@@TheInja, would you take a Cyrusher or Lectric on a vacation? Is there any new lightweight foldable ebike?
@@fromgrapevine wait for my next review! G-Force (I reviewed before) is awesome value. But next time is the HeyBike Mars. Great compact folding bike!
20mph locked speed is weird. Out of the box my 500w velowave did 25mph and if you double click the power button go down to advanced settings and enter 1801 it might unlock it. Contact support for the manual and it will have the code to bring it to 9 instead of 5.
Yay!
Seems like a solid bit of bike there. Not surprises, but no real demerits either unless you're looking to unlimit the speed, which I'm sure there's a method that just isn't immediately obvious.
This bike has been Inja ... APPROVED 🤓
*stamp sound
I have a question I want too purchase an ebike but don't know where too start I'm 6 foot even 250 pounds so iam looking for something can hold me. And my weight iam looking for speed a course now my spending range for an ebike is 6500$ any suggestions.
I like the slick look of this bike. Those brakes though haha
Nice video I subbed
Adding speed: Inflation to full like 60 to 70psi in your bike tires (or a limit of your bike tires/tubes can handle) will add speed. Warning: Do not exceed the limit of your tire can handle.
Would stock non-fat tires make it accelerate faster and travel further per charge?
How do you turn on the lights?
How do u take out the speed limiter. ?
Im sold on the precut styrofoam lol
I just bought this bike and got a flat on the first ride. Goat head thorn.
Not sure if it’s cheap tires or what but it shouldn’t go down with a small thorn.
SO SHWEEEETTT...much love Tee with LIONS NAMED LEO.[the music worldwide}
AAAHHH YEAH FUN!!
Dude, I reached 3,250 miles check the odometer in my video in my channel. This bike is good.
Where would you buy an ebike in order to not get it straight from the factory? Amazon?
I love my Ranger 3000 miles no problems
Man I wish i had a bike like that but it is very cool
I just got this bike cause I work at 5 am Uber is hard to find a ride , it will help me get to work. So happy
How long did it take to ship? I just ordered one today.
LOLOLOLOLOL I recommended you to them!!!! GOOD STUFF HAHAHAHA
My man!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Is there a connector for a computer ? Has someone hacked it ?
it goes 35 with just throttle, get yourself the off road conroller, add a second battery preferably 52v 20ah and a battery controller that depletes the batteries the same time. I hide his with the waterproof case velawave offers (can also be found on amazon by different "brand" thank me later this bike fucks. Add the tire shields to prevent flats im sure youve had flats already lol i also have the fender kit (must have) and a clam shell case which you could add a second battery there but ive decided to go with the screw on kit. make sure you enter advanced doptions password 1801 set amp to 30, tires 27.5 I also added some kickass pedals an xxl bike seat and a shaft with hyraulic suspension. it goes so fast i cant pedal it it goes faster then the ears can keep up with
Do you know of a mod or replacement part that will make the thumb throttle less responsive? We usually only use it to start before the pedal assist kicks in, can we buy a different throttle that is less sensitive/reactive? Or can we mod the circuit or modify the controller program? Thanks.

Hi - did anyone work out how to disable the speed limiter, good to know how. thx
I want to see you take an e bike on s mountain bike trail. U know one of those crazy ones lol
I just got mine on Monday based off all the great reviews, It's a beautiful bike. But right now I am not overly pleased with the customer service. The battery design with the attached cover sucks!! be careful with it, it's only held on with 2 small screws (one on each end) and a tiny plastic piece. Mine unfortunately came broken off, when I emailed support ( they are located in Hong Kong) they want me to mail the battery to a repair shop and wait for them to refurbish it/repair it!!!! Instead of just mailing me a new battery with a cover plate, and having me exchange this broken one. I haven't even had a chance to ride the darn bike so who knows if I'll run into other issues. What a pain in the ass, I shouldn't have to get a refurbished part for a brand new bike. So far my experience has not been fun!! Rant over lol ugh
wow thats terrible service. interesting.
Think u set to 0 assist then the +- at the same time
Have you found a way to remove/bypass the speed limiter?
The reason it was limiting him at 20mph is because he was holding down the throttle while pedaling. The moment you let go of the throttle, and keep pedaling, you go a lot faster. I've got mine up to 35MPH on flat ground (that was me pedaling has hard as I can, combined with the full assistance of the motor)
@@ManPlusRiver do you have to hold the throttle down again when you get to 35mph to hold it or is it pedal dependent at that speed?
Thank you, another great video. Just watched your Himiway Cobra video, excellent video. The 2 e-bikes I am considering buying. Any comparative thoughts on these 2?
Both good for their price. I'm prone to go with the Velowave
Just because it's cheaper and has similar performance specs
It's a pretty good decent bike you can get some exercise with this bike. You can go into the controller cut the white wire it will do around 31 miles an hour but it will knock out your speedometer. I would put a mid-drive and another battery on it it has the room for it. If you did that you would bring it to a new level IMO
Does it work on the 500w?
@@BrandonSale You can try it if not just fix the wire you cut.one thing the mph won't work or the trip meter like l said you can always fix a cut wire that's why l did it.Let me know how it goes it works on a lot of bikes.
@@racerx2095 Do you know where the controller is located?
@@BrandonSale I don't know what bike you have it's not hard bro it's only so big and it's connected to the battery the wires are anyway
@@BrandonSale yeah if you don't know where the controls located at man I don't know if you should me even mess with it
I'm at 4000 mileage in my Velowave Ghost MTB Bike check my video, My bike tires need replacement, can anyone tell me what's the name that will grip the break pads? My bike is having problem with that.
How tall are you?
Why not adjust the seat?
Thanks for the review. Have you tried it on the beach? I’m looking to get one to get to those fishing shots faster.
I'm sure it would do fine!

Another CZcams Talent. This is a great Information Age except the most important stuff is censored.
Just got one from my bday the 2 of April
How is it ?
Please Tell me what is the intro song
It wil go 28mph if you pedal also, assisting you all the way to 28mph very easy.
Please post a video how to remove the battery. I spent all morning trying to figure out.
Have the key, turn it. Also turn a little lever. Battery is not moving or falling out.

What kind of gloves are u wearing?
hey @The Inja i found a youtube video showing how to unlock it and unlocked max speed is around 35 mph
We purchased this Vivi 27.5” electric bike and a Tentaquil 26” electric bike for our 13 and 14 year olds. czcams.com/users/postUgkxUiL0GnyDjP32RJdd660sP8mZk4CRLTCJ The Vivi was much easier to put together. With the Vivi, there was a video link to assist with assembly which made the process easier to follow (we did put the handlebars on upside down, but it was a quick and easy fix). With the Tentaquil, the assembly was not as simple to follow, but after we messaged the company for an assembly video, it was easier and they did respond quickly. The other major differences were that the Vivi has a grip throttle on the right handle (like a motorcycle) and the Tentaquil has a push throttle that you use your thumb to activate. The monitors were also different, so if you’re looking for something specific in terms of changing the bikes functions, pay attention to what the monitor offers. We were really impressed with the overall quality and functionality of both bikes, but if you’re looking for more power and an easier assembly, definitely go with the Vivi!
I've watched a few other videos in which you mentioned you were 6'3, however manufacturer recommend height up to 6'2. How is the ride, I need it for someone who's the same height as you 6'3 and wanted to know if it's short and awkward. The last thing I want is for them to be hunched over too much if it's too small. Thanks in advance!
No it feels fine!
@@TheInja how much more clearance do you have? for example what do you think the max height would be for this bike?
Dble tap power code 1801 set to 9 pedal assist
I already have one, its actually pretty nice. Fat bike gang.
Have you ever adjusted the seat to fit your height?
Always do!
Yeah, it’s a bike …hello?
How tall are you?
I have this bike and mine typically hits 27-28mph no prob.
Ok so what do you need to put it together since I don’t wanna pay an extra $200 for an expert to do it for me?
I like it
Juiced Hyperscorpion you should try...just sayan
Mine does go 27mph max (I live in. Cali) maybe different rules
How many times do we need to hear “ it’s a smooth ride ?” 😂
At least one more time!
Thanks for the review! I have the same bike and was wondering if you (or anyone else) has been able to remove the speed limiter.
Couldn't find a system menu, it's probably not limited
It's got an "advanced" section of the onscreen menu that asks for a 4 digit passcode, so maybe that's it?
They sell an "off road" controller.
@@BenjieGrant I found out that the passcode is 1801, but was unable to actual change the speed of the bike even though I increased the setting.
@@PM-wc1lp I noticed the same, I did play with the wheel size, mine came set to 27.5 not sure where it should be set, I set it to the smallest I think 14 throttle only dropped to like 12 MPH, set the wheel size to max 31 and the speed increase about 3 MPH. I think the controller is the limiting factor to max speed
That's not bad for the price.
A bike that save a money 💰 🤑
hey inja i love your vlogs is there a chance that i can receive one for your bikes?
Good looking bike. How much does it weigh?
Probably around 60lbs
You should take it on a mountain bike trail! I've been wondering if it could actually handle that. That would totally convince me to buy it if I could hit some blue MTB trails with it.
these hub bikes really are meant for serious offroading imo because so many wires exposed underneath bottom bracket and rear hub. good for rail trails and stuff like that though and commuting going to parks for sure.
I took mine on a mountain bike trail and it handled great, front suspension definitely helped when unlocked
How does this bike ride on your local mountain bike trails?
Good
Your going to need a suspension seat. Lol it stays planted but jump a little and your back will hate you. Its heavy.
Class 2 bikes are limited to 20mph. If you want faster you need a Class 3. Just a few hundred dollars more so I'd go with one of them.
Look at the controller. May be a speed limiting wire that you can disconnect.
Ive heard it was the white wire
Does the battery recharges when pedaling?
Nope.
Looks like some of their other ebikes go faster but with a 500watt motor lol
How tall are you?
i need that delfast range test😐😐
Coming this week!
For the money I would rather have a rad power bike that has a cargo rack but it is nice looking.
why did you not unlock it?????
bought same bike for like 1300 back in November
I don't think I'm a fan of this personally. The display and other features I think would be better on the GDS e bike, which if I recall was ~$300 cheaper
Agreed.
👍👍👍👍👍
I bought this bike jan 3 2022 and was sent one with a bad motor. I was so upset as this was my first ebike and had no idea what tools id need to aquire and where to begin assessing this bike. Their customer service was absolutely amazing. Since there was no way to actually test out what the problem was they sent me all the replacement parts along with the tools to get the bike working. I ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND THIS BIKE! It rides awesome too!
Wow, I am glad your experience was smooth with support. My cover on my battery came broken and they expect me to send that in and wait to have it refurbished, rather then just sending me a new battery and mail back the broken one. I haven't had a chance to enjoy the bike, going back and forth with them now. because I don't feel on a brand new bike I should wait weeks to get a replacement part!!
Double tap the power key?
Awesome looking bike. Good review. In my opinion magicycle bike is the best bike under $2000 category. 28 mph on throttle.
Hi there. Quick question. Did you have to do remove the limiter to get it to go 28mph on throttle? Thanks!
@@mikew2883
Pretty sure I didn’t remove the limiter but you may want to up the amps to the max which I think is 22 so the bike has enough power to bring you there. My bike averages about 27 miles an hour I’m about 220 with all my stuff on
👍
Very beautiful ebike but still expensive for me. Costs as much as a used car
W
double click the power button fast to get to hidden menu
Thanks for the tip!
Btw you can take of the limiter pretty easily. Also goes fast if you pedal even thoe it goes faster than you can. Just jave to trigger the sensor.
How do you take off the limiter
Saw the shirt.. insta-subcribed.
Check out the beecool adventurer! I got the green one and it's a ridiculous beast. 750Wc 950Wp (verified). Dual sus, hydraulic 180/160 brakes, 48v 21ah insane range!! Great factory headlight tail light and blinks. Soft seat, quick shifts from the el cheapo tourney. Front sus is air, adjustable preload and lockout. Rear sus sucks ass, I replaced if with an air 50mm travel positive/negative pressure adjustable, rebound adjust wheel and lockout by DNM from Amazon and now its plush af hauling ass through the golf course. Currently at 210 miles in 3 weeks!
Edit it's only 1499. Ships free and no tax.
Oo shit and it's fat tire!
Already reveiwed them!
Can you make ut go faster
a few hrs?

Honestly can't find anything about unlocking these bikes which is annoying because it has a 750watt motor that it really isn't using...how are you going to be slower than a lectric xp 😜
That’s not true the motor helps with steeper hills the more powerful the steeper hill will be a lot easier
