- čas přidán 25. 08. 2024
- The Tracker from Vintage Electric Bikes is a powerful, high speed, heavier electric bike akin to a moped with limiter settings for around town use (750 watt, 20 mph in Street Mode) and optional Race Mode (2800 watt 36 mph). Popular as a pit bike on race courses, used frequently in Indonesia because it stays cooler than internal combustion powered mopeds. Single speed drivetrain, available in one size high-step only, large comfortable tires with Kevlar lining, integrated LED lights, optional rear rack and optional pedal assist. Custom Aluminum alloy frame with color matched fender and rims, oversized hydraulic disc brakes for great stopping power vs. older versions, solid warranty and good customer support to keep the bike on the road.

This guy is the most informed reviewer I have ever seen. Very well done. This kind of review should be the standard. Unfortunately, it seems to be an anomaly. Pity.
I love that these bikes are so stylish. For e-bike and bicycle usage to grow it has to appeal to all types including those for whom style is important.
+brighton dude You're completely right :)
Very impressed with the review and have never seen a better review of any product.
Just watched the 2018 review clip, great bikes.
I'd have one tomorrow if they came with 27.5 rims and a large/XL frame.
Pros: Man that thing is kewl, suspension, mega power/huge battery! Cons: Way out of my price range, more motorcycle than bike, only one size! It would be fun to rent for the weekend, but I can't see myself riding it year round. Another outstanding review on an ebike I never new existed! And props for taking it for more than just a block or two, it looked like a lot of fun to ride!
+Clinton Baltazor Thanks! Definitely had more time and freedom since I was hanging out with the founder of the company :D
This is a beautifully designed bike. Good review. Looks like pure joy to ride. Not so much of a workout but just fun transportation.
+David Gardner Exactly, just fun and thrilling to cruise around :D
It's nice ebike. But the price for suspension for 'upgrade' is sick in my opinion - 1150$. This fork is being made in 2002 and it's Stratos S8 with cuted fork. You can check in google. And the battery indicator looks very cheap and have only 3 levels of capacity. For base 5000$ is nonsense. By the way the rest is nice. Thats my opinion.
Actually it is a former White Brothers double crown inverted fork. Now belongs to MRP and they make these forks for Vintage Electric. Stratos S8 is very similar looking fork.
Im poor and i still always end up with the best things in life cause if i cant buy it i build it or buy it used and love it as if i paid new prices.......................yes this bike is perfect and we all wish we could afford to buy it as much as i do but in the real world of being not rich we have to dream and build one are selves just like this amazing builder did........if you have a dream just build what you can afford and love it
Idk what's going on with me. Yesterday I just got hooked to E-bikes. And I'm hooked to your channel.. Subbed for future vids to come, thanks for the work.
We know Vintage in Germany. A great manufacturer. A cool video. Amazing bikes.
+Elya Cornovier Nice! Really?! That's awesome, have you seen one of these in Germany or are people just excited by it... maybe the Autobahn is the perfect place for something like this :P
+ElectricBikeReview.com YES :) We have many highways (Autobahnen) :) I've seen this bike in Berlin Mitte.
Looks like a Felt Cruiser Canvas frame and Felt rims were used. Tires are nice. Also a Felt Berm Master looks cool on vintage bikes.
And of course the suspension is great! Who manufactured that?
Great looking bike. I love the retro look.
Can you do a monthly payment program? Because the price is on the expensive side, and I am interested in having one. Santa Clarita is near to me, and I do want to help them out. And I love the classic look.
Nice bike , I inspired to build my own bike...
I really like the design of that fight but nobody's ever said how much it cost? Mine was $1,400 ecotric hammer and I had to put lights and stuff the rack
Love this bike great looking and heaps of power.
+Gardener Rob It's pretty sweet... I'd buy one if I was living in Indonesia for sure!
i am indonesian, I would like to have this bike but it's quite expensive
If I was rich id buy you one, but alas im not rich lol
love it if only i could afford one I would get one in a heartbeat >.
Good review, nice looking bike. what is the top speed when its off road mode (non street legal) I think I would have concerns with moisture getting into the wheel motor cable connection exposed and so close to water spray from the front wheel.
Are the Hub motors manufactured in the US or in China?????? it looks very similar to the ones I use for conversions and they come from China. 1500 W 52V battery rated to do 72km ph but the most I got so far is 62km ph . Eco mode cycle assist range is 100km .
You speak so detailed, thanx
I wish I wasn't poor...
+Tiago Ruivo I can't say for sure... but I'm guessing you're not poor compared to most of the world, you've got a laptop and a dream in your eye :D
You are right. although the paltop it's not mine. But i got the message!
+Tiago Ruivo he steal the lap xD
Man you diserve a prise for that. thanks fort the motivaiton. Im owrking on that everyday. it will evantually!
Same
Would love to see someone make a classic beach cruiser style bike like this with that 1950s look but manage to hide all the battery cells inside the frame. Maybe cells in all the tubes all the way around and stuffed inside that fake gas tank thing all those old bikes have. If it could be made to look just like a normal bicycle but with all the modern electric bike features it would be great. Maybe small hub motors in both front and back for the power but still be small enough to not really notice. A springer fork and spring saddle to keep the old look.
+plaid13 That sounds beautiful... Do you have a link to an image of what you're thinking? I've seen bits and pieces but I'd love to see something more exact from a Google image search.
+ElectricBikeReview.com Something like a 1950 schwinn black phantom. Would need to have thicker frame tubes to make it stronger and route wires through and maybe hide some of the cells somewhere other then the fake gas tank. OR the 1950 schwinn hornet It has a huge fake gas tank type thing that could hide a hell of a battery pack.
Would be hard to decide what way to go with the motor and stuff though. Maybe a cvt hub for gear changing and a mid drive motor. Or two small gearless hub motors. Whatever it takes to hide the fact that it is an electric bike and keep that classic 1950s bicycle look and feel but still have enough power to make long distance quick electric bike rides. If the whole frame was designed around the concept of hiding ebike parts it could be pretty nice. All that frame tubing being empty on most bikes just seems wasteful.
50s bicycle style with modern ebike tech could be amazing. Maybe a nice clean belt drive instead of a chain. a built in LED light. They could hide a lot behind those big chain guards those bikes had.
prices resemble hd mocycle i guess this priced for the high brow side off the tracks but looks cool
ElectricBikeReview-- You Guys should opt for a Chain Guard (and-or) a Rear Suspension, That's all I thought of Watching (Your-Video or Clip) ! ! !
Beautiful bike :0)
Thanks for the review ;0)
Can someone please help me, i spent a lot on my ebike and look after it
but becuase i live in the constant pissing rain in ireland, i have
condensation in the GoGreen electric panel controller display that suits
on handlebars, WHY is there no waterproof cover available on the planet
for this? ive just returned from bike shop after it with them past 8
days and there is as much condensation in the panal as when it went in -
can someone please help? thanks in advance
Nice touch adding leather inlay to the rack. Does he have Vegan compliant racks? Ha Ha....This guy was also interviewed on Jay Leno's channel.
+MotorheadRedo Yeah! I saw his interview with Jay Leno... how cool right?! I liked to it from my written review with more details at electricbikereview.com/vintage-electric-bikes/tracker/ and here's the direct link for anyone else who's interested czcams.com/video/RCPy0d2KRSc/video.html
Fun review, wicked ebike!
+Mark Elford Glad you enjoyed it Mark, it's fun to include some back story and meet the founder :)
do you provide lights like this "vintage" that have LED's, and I can incorporate (hardwired) into my e-bike? been searching all over without success. thank you!
Court, would you recommend not getting the pedal assist with this bike?
gonna buy this
Anyone know where I can buy a headlight like that to wire into my bike?
Wow! Nice looking bikes!
почему не fullsuspension? сзади одна звезда? дорого.
Great informative video.
Can anybody tell me the name the type of this body/frame...electric or not i wanna soo wanna buy a simple bicycle that actually looks like this body.
Will I get m 3lctrick bick
Nice bike, no doubt about that, but wait a second.. 140usd for PAS that costs 5usd ??? What does the rest 135 go for?
+Artur Ragulskyi I'm not sure... their upgrades and accessories are priced at a premium and I can understand that for the custom racks and stuff but yeah... the pedelec is a bit steep ;)
Very pricey for pas?Ripoff,you can buy one on AMAZON FOR 5 BUCKS,,,,GOOD LUCK..
Wow, that is a one good looking bike.
+Graham McDonald I just want to say... I love Scooby Doo!
ElectricBikeReview.com
I love that bike I wish I could afford it
How are they getting 2800 Watts if it's only pulling 50 Amps max?
50A x 52V = 2600W.
fromkentucky The 52v battery when just finished charging is more like 58.6v for this model ... I have one and it’s awesome 😎
I just saw a sneak peek inside the battery
Care to share what you saw?
Ciao.... Spedite in Italia?
Love the video . What the cost?
Pricing starts at $5000 plus add ons, which will increase to almost $7000!
Every video of yours I watch, I see you always put your hand on their shoulder blade
So it could be made street legal...? Brake lights...?
+ZiggZagg11 I'm not an expert on the subject of vehicle legality and it seems to differ stat to state and region to region around the world but with the proper turn signals, horn and brake lights I think yo probably could make it legal to use in Race Mode :)
Hello how much this saycel
Nice shop
Overpriced, but a good design to use as a standard for a home build, I'm planning on a build in this style, but a little more aggressively designed, lifepo4 headway cells, bbshd, similarly place batt, hide a satiator charger in a false tank with a toolkit and lock, I use the shwalbe big apples on my current build and they are the same as this, just different tread pattern (cheaper too) this bike will also cost me less than half the tag to build, do your research and learn how to diy, the reward is far more gratifying!
+Ronan Carter Oh yeah?! Will you build one for $2500-$3000 for me?
nope, moved on to a cheaper project, lost sight of practicality, once I got beyond a certain price point in the design it became easier to buy a non-working motorbike and restore it myself, thus I dropped the project, but if you want to do it I would recommend a ruff cycles porucho frame running their 65mm rims, a sturmey archer rk5 disc hub, bbshd, lifepo4 10ah batt x2, use one till it dies, still have charge to get home, and a decent sprung saddle alongside a triple clamp front air-fork for adjustability, weight, and for braking force, also, schwalbe 26" big apple/fat frank 2.35 tyres, it would have a similar look to this bike, but again, more aggressive, also a bmx to bsa bottom bracket adapter will work to fit the bbshd to this particular frame, but mount it so the motor it rotated pointed toward the saddle inside the triangle, best of luck!
500 FOR A PAINT JOB???WTF IS IT MADE OF GOLD??
do they sell these at walmart?
Fuck no! They're hand made/assembled.
Screw Walmart. They only sell cheap, one time use, and throw away stuff!!
guys thats a real beauty..good design....studly~))
Nice bro, mantap
16:32 Is this some kind of joke I'm not getting?
Me gusta 👍😍
really.
Unsightly wiring for the money
It says yes but the price says no.
it looks like a cop magnet to me. I'd hate to buy something that would get me stopped at every turn.
+DrZarkloff Yeah, I think it depends on where you live and how you ride it :/
+ElectricBikeReview.com the cops in my area are too busy trying to justify their job by harassing motorists at the local speed traps.
Indonesiaaaaaaaaa
750watt lol, here its 250w max.
it's 3000 watt
Tom Jacobs Here in UK, You can have a 15k motor as long as the speed is restricted to our pathetic 15.5 mph ...that way you get to use the torque of a big motor for climbing steep hills ...
HPC MAKES much beyound THIS..
5000 dollars really man just a motocyle
I don't make these, just create videos to help people understand and make a good decision. If you want to ride without a license and insurance, prefer a lighter weight bike, appreciate quiet and want to go on paths and places motorcycles aren't allowed then this is a good option. If you like unlimited distance and want off-road then a dual sport would be great, they make electric motorcycles now that are pretty cool too: amzn.to/2e0iFLN
I M TURK
Another over priced bike you can get something similar for far less.Wouldnt buy.Good luck on your endeavors however.
精品
How is this worth $5000? This guy must make like $3000 off each bike
I have a VEB Tracker in Connecticut. everything about these bikes are VERY high quality. Quality costs money. Further, these bikes are designed to last a LONG time. Batteries, controllers, etc. can be upgraded and/or repaired as time passes. So these are not disposable like most e-bikes. These are awesome bikes and I can wholeheartedly recommend the bike and the company!
why didn't u bring up the fact that the speed upgrade was a cheap fuse and now is a key that costa 150 dollars? i think ur a sell out!
Did you watch the video before yapping? 6:56. Tesla used to charge $10k for its version of the same thing, Ludicrous Mode. $10k for a software key and you're whining about a $150 machined metal key that actually costs something to produce.
all e bikes are overpriced. buy a kit and DIY. buy an aftermarket front fork. don't be a sucker
You can apply that logic to most things. If you have hundreds of hours to spend, a workshop, and some skills, yeah, I guess you can make anything. Some people want a polished, turnkey, professionally designed product with all the kinks worked out.
At $99 dollars these bikes Are Reasonable Please explain how they are to expensive?
5000$ hahahah why not buy a motorbike instead then
John Kate electric, bike lane, easier to transport, all the advantages of having a bicycle
Form over function. What a stupid bike!
