  • Honest review of the Tamobyke V20 E-bike.
    *Correction* The 1500w peak was a typo on their listing. It is actually only 750w peak.

    Honestly I didn't have any of those issues with getting the bike. The only issue I had was having to pickup the package myself because you have to sign for it and I wasn't home cause work. Also had really loud brakes when trying to brake so I had to ever so slightly adjust the brakes position to not touch the rotor discs. Which wasn't a big deal at all and super simple. Other than that the bike is comfortable enough for long rides. I'd highly recommend it to anyone getting into Ebikes. It's honestly a great bike with very little issues. That being said, with you being a reviewer, I can see why you hated reviewing it so much because of the way they handled the situation. I haven't had to deal with customer support and hopefully I won't have to.

      Like I said in the video, it's not a bad bike at all. An excellent bike for the price. And I don't usually include interactions between the company and I. But they were trying to trick me into an Amazon review and then threatened to keep some of my money if I don't make the review the way they demanded. That's not ideal, and I felt people should know about this because it's probably a reflection of their customer service.

      @SFARCO I actually am getting close to 500 miles already. The original tires should last another 500 miles, hopefully. I am switching to motorcycle tires before winter. I have 0 complaints or concerns. The range is 10 miles each power bar. Even in 110° heat, there is no noticeable reduction range, thay I notice. As an almost every day rider over 66, I couldn't be happier. When I post a comment on the aostirmotor's youtube channel, they respond very quickly to it. I try to pedal 5-10 miles a each day except when it's raining. Thanks.

    One month later, They delivered the V20. I bitched too Amazon. They knocked 280.00 off. I changed the tires, went to hydro brakes I already had. The little bike is pretty damn tight. 28 mph. I have 76 miles on it so far. I did right. I like the rear shock. Oh Lectric saddlebags work on it just fine. A wonder if a 40 amp controller will change things.
