kickass review! i feel like the reviews have been generally getting better, much better test rides lately!
this review made me change my opinion on this bike, not to shabby at all.
Mine died at 2.5yrs. Some type of electrical problem. Turns on but then goes off immediately. I paid $1000 for it and really wouldn't recommend getting one. It was great until now.
Its only $1000 2.5 yrs is great 😃
2.5 years for $1000 is good value IMO
Have you tried buying new battery?
Great review ! Glad you took the advice on not holding the camera. The ride was a true journey over real terrain. You always do a great job 👍 I own a Nakto fat tire bike. I have a different model. Just be aware that you can’t raise the stem or handlebars which can be an strain on your back if you ride for long distances bent forward.
I found a way to change my stem out with a skilled bike mechanic and a part I got off eBay , it worked , but it can’t be changed under normal circumstances. Nakto is low end but I love my bike. I have the mini cruiser 20 inch.
I have been riding this daily for several months now and this has exceeded my expectations. this bike has helped me get so far so fast. Im 5'7 and 130lbs..small..plenty of power. I added a headset extender of 2". Works great. Battery life is fantastic as well.
We are so delighted to hear that NAKTO bike brings you great experience.🙂
Speed delete by changing mode 9 and up to 150 percent battery power and you can charge the battery up to 56 volts
I like this bike, it gets me to work and back, I love the idea of the battery being removable because I can take it to charge inside. And the battery is lasting very well! It’s very snappy with the shape and color! Already got several compliments!
Thank you so much for choosing NAKTO and enjoy your ride them!🚴♀🚴♂
i just bought this model and am looking forward to the delivery. i would have liked to have seen you demo the bike at it's top speed, but other than that i thought this was a very solid review.
Great review. I have this bike an you put up a spot on review.. I do agree this bike is a ton an a half of fun to ride. I am 5'10 160 pounds an at times it struggles up a hill. I will make it up, so that matters. The components used on this bike are not the best. I've replaced the rubber grips cause they simply wore down to the hard plastic, pedal assist needs replacing as the sensor on the bottom has broken away. I'm not sure from what cause. the derailleur broke causing the chain to sag, that was replaced. a few other troubles, i.e. brakes needs constant adjusting, plastic thumb throttle broke. Kick stand broke. Don't expect much out of the front headlamp. The handle bars are placed well an gave me a good sense of control. Mine is just over a yr old with 500 miles on the reader. I get up to 25 miles an hours, a bit more maybe. I use it for small rides of 3 or 4 miles. Examples to the post office or to the drug store, or such places. Once I buy a brand I tend to stick with it, but I think my next eBike will be ecotric or Addmotor. I'm not sure but maybe even Anker. I have come to enjoy the fat tire style. eBikes. Warning if you don't want people stopping you asking you...WTH is that thing?? don't get this bike. These mad max badboy looking style bikes are head turners.
I have an ecotric fat tire and I love it I have just under 450 miles on it and it’s going strong
I’ve had this bike for a couple weeks now and I must say its a great product. I bought this because I didn’t want to spend the 2K most electric bikes were charging. I could suggest many upgrades but that cost more. This bike is spot on for the price.
Thank you very much for choosing NAKTO! Whenever you need help, we're happy to assist you!😀
What's most appealing about this bike for me is the price, but that's it. It seems both on and off road capability is compromised too much designing a cruiser frame with a 90 degree stem and straight bars.
I just got mine last month. Really nice ride. I'm new to Ebikes and love how it handles. Its look gets nice compliments too. Not that I need anyone else to like it but it's nice. Another thing, never going back to thin tires. Fatties all the way from now on. Most of the time I'm using throttle. Good controls. It handles cold temps pretty well too but I'm still careful. Gets too low, I won't use it.
There is a bunch of options in a menu type thing if you hold both the up and down gear button including top speed limiting and battery ampage settings
I would love to see some reviews of all the new 2020 bikes from major manufacturers and less of the upstart brands.I eagerly await your videos and am disappointed when these cheap bikes come up again and again.I suppose charging a universal service fee, your going to get more upstart brands needing promotion. Would like to see you review the new Focus, Cube,Marin, YT, Felt bikes etc.. thx
Nice bike. And it is a good price. What material is the frame? Is that a standard battery form factor? Ie, can I get another battery for it without buying the battery from Nakto?
I ordered my 2 days ago.. now all I gotta do is wait for it to get a tracking number and then wait for it to be delivered to my house
I’m excited af
Great value for the money . I've had mine up to 50 KM. The M5 display used on many bikes can easily be changes from 1-5 PAS to 0-9 PAS 0 giving no assist. The controller is 28 AH will pull over 500 watts . The frame is incredible with powder coated finish I wiped out a few times barely a scratch where a aluminum frame would have bent like a pretzel. Running on the beach I reduce air pressure to 15 PSI handles a lot better normal road 30 PSI .Tire repair simple with quick release on power chord. I put a adjustable angle on headset from Amazon $15 for more comfort. Best of all replacement parts are availiable from Nakto in California the carry everything my other e bike takes weeks to get simple parts.
Hey, have you found a way to override the 28 mhp limit?
How did you change the 1-5PAS to 0-9PAS?
Thanks
Don
Where can you find those kind of fenders on the bike
I want to get a suspension seatpost for this bike and at 9:26 you show an SP12 NCX seatpost however they only have 4 sizes.
You mentioned this bike has an unusual size of 25.4mm and the SP12 NCX only comes in 27.2mm X 400mm
27.2mm X 350mm
30.9mm X 350mm
31.6mm X 350mm
So why did you recommend this seatpost when they don't have the size to fit this bike?
Where can I get a decent suspension seatpost in the 25.4mm size to fit at the same price point of 109.95? Thanks!
can you use throttle and paddle assist in same time with 0 start...i mean start right away with the throttle and then if you want just paddle assist to use motor....im asking cause it looks like mine you have to switch it in between 0 start and none to use it ...
I guess because your peadaling too and it has some movement before it really kicks it but the pedal assists always seem to have better pick up than throttle even if you pedal seems more responsive at least on most ebikes I rode.
Dodgy electronics, notice the 00.0 mph at 16:50 makes me wonder what other issues are lurking beneath.
The speedometer only works when the bike is being pedaled
@@sehismith thats useless then !
@@sehismith works on ours when running all electric fine
Companies selling at this price point are using lots of off-the-shelf parts (motor, gearing, battery) on a number of pre-designed frame molds. Hydro-forming steel tube or aluminium has to be done at scale to make it cost-effective. Bikes from many different companies/distributors/re-sellers look very similar. Motor and Gear hardware etc, as well as color may vary but many of these bikes roll out of the same factories in China and are configured according to the contract specs from the North American buyer. If you want to know why other e-bikes go for $5000 or (much more).....they are likely custom frames with higher end hardware made in smaller runs at greater unit cost.
No it’s just prestigious pricing
Is it worth it?
Video starts @14:02 mark
28 mph makes this a pretty good deal
Thanks, then this is the one..
It’s 35mph
@@nunupon1359 really ?
@@NWforager On overstock that’s what the product description says but I could be wrong. If anything I’d look for a different bike,
9:52 I ve had my cruiser for 3 yrs no problems just bought a new battery and tires
I really like this bike. Had mine a few weeks now.
Also my power assist goes to zero.
Will a 750watt replacement motor fit in the 500watt motor hub?
Don't quote me on this I think 750 batt or 500 runs both i think the motor can handle both
This 500 watts can speed delete up to 36 mph, by changing your mode to 9 and 150 percent battery usa.
Not enough power to for me.where is the 750 watt motor that it needs
In The Netherlands when police stop you in the dark, you get a ticket without a back light. They let you go when your front light is not working. So a back light is much more inmportant and I think that is a good thing.
what if you just have red back reflectors? They show up in car headlights much more than a light does
Theres was green grass in LA back in 2019?lol
Your going to prematurely wear out a ebike like this going off road and hard use. It's just a nice stylish cruiser which needs a few upgrades.
Wait, i didn't hear a review???? What is "a performer"? W
Have you found an electric bike that is good for your long legs? I have a 36inch inseam and am looking for an electric bike that is nice for a tall. person
The " Rad City " from Rad Power Bikes might be a great choice for you and not a bad price at 1,500 I have had mine for over a year and almost 3000 miles and had no issues with the bike at all. Anyway I thought I would make that suggestion to you.
I've tried, BUT I just cant take this guy seriously or watch his videos with the Katy Perry glasses and the George Jetson helmet......
My first thought was Devo. You've got to whip it, whip it good
THRASHING? Best laugh I've had all day!
Paul Kane so ur basically admitting to being a pretty superficial person who judges people on their looks and not the content of their character. The guy is obviously knowledgeable articulate and gives a very thorough and excellent review of the bike. Sorry to be so "heavy" but I find your ignorant comment offensive
For Snow only.
BFT - Big Fat Tire? Just a guess. lol
Same here 👍
Is not that strong I see
This is a great bike for the price just need to upgrade the fork, seat and add a suspension seat post and 170mm crankset. Pedal assist wastes battery time so I’ve turned it off and just use the thumb throttle when I need extra power. I’ve also set P09 @ 50 which allows a top speed of 30mph. By the way the 2020 version of the super cruiser has only one good thing going for it which is an aluminum frame everything else is 👎. 400 watt motor👎, 10ah battery👎, control screen reduced in size and integrated into the bar clamp👎👎. Mag wheels👎👎👎.
Are you still using it? Has it ever broken down?
@@mrGusliakov I ride my Super Cruiser every other day and it still runs beautifully! My average length of ride is around 30 miles or 48 kilometers. The key is to treat the battery right.
@@mrGusliakov No break downs either, my only issue are flat tires so I using thicker tubes.
bft i can only imagine what that stands for lmao
BFF stands for “Beefy Tire” :)
If you buy a bike from NAKTO and shortly want a refund… they’ll refuse even if you’re qualified for one. This happened to me. I’m spreading this message so no one else has to go through what I had to go through. Be safe y’all.
Please tell me why you want a refund. For reasonable reason, NAKTO will refund.
Send me parts
Anyone interested in buying one I have one for sale. I purchased 2 but now only need one. Can give great deal on it. Still in box
how much?
I am! Is it a cruiser? 500w?
Try getting a technician to service it. Impossible
I almost got suckered into nakto. A buddy of mine bought one...I went with ecotric instead and built a commuter photos.app.goo.gl/arak2vKzgzpCb5ei6 I'm 2600 miles in and didn't miss a day commuting to work in the South Dakota winter. He on the other hand has an ebike that he put about 300 miles on that no longer works. Nakto bikes are trash. Stay away. The crazy part is I paid 800 bucks for my bike 😂😂💪.
You put a commuter together yourself, so I'm sure your bike would be better, what I would like to know is, does your friend have your amount of experience, or did he by a bike, not take care of it, and then declared it was trash. (I'm not attacking you or anything, but I've found that the majority of the time, it's the rider, not the bike. Especially when it is declared dead after such a short time.)
Why do offroad first on a cruiser smh just ride
Big
Fat
Tire
🙄
=)
I've had one of these before. Let's just say never again
Why?
The handlebar insert to the stem didn't fit properly. It would bounce up and down. Had to go to the bike shop to get it modified or for the mechanic to use other parts. Mechanic said that could of killed me if I didn't fix it. Bought it on eBay and the seller redirected me to the manufacturer. Said they couldn't do anything. Bad customer service
Every bicycle will require tuning here and there. Especially if u didnt get it from a bike shop. Im tempted to go ask Walmart if they need me to assemble bikes. All of their bikes are assembled poorly at the store. They need a real mechanic, part time at least
Would NEVER recommend this bicycle to anybody. As soon as I bought this bike it started to fall apart. First thing is it really shows how cheaply made some of the electronic parts are on this bike like the controller which fried on mine in the first 2 weeks of ownership. You are better off going to a local bike ebike shop then dealing with Nakto. On top of that Naktos customer service is total crap, they do not care about your problems but want you to buy a $1,000+ ebike. Please viewers if you read this comment take my advice. Don’t want you to end up in the same situation as me.
TheBladesToXiic I’ve had mine and I already got a flat on the rear tire
Sadly I'd have to agree. If nakto changed their warranty to maybe two yrs or even 18 months, an stood behind the product. I'd have two or 3 different style nakto eBikes..and all kinds of nakto acessories. When i buy in... I BUY IN ALL THE WAY. it doesn't take much to keep a customer after they have your device..
Wow Thanks. I almost bought this.
If you are semi proficient at bike mechanics youll be ok. Every bike you buy that does not come from a bike shop will require some wrenching eventually or immediately. Maybe u have a friend that knows how to tune. Its really simple and there are plenty of video . Cheers!
Any idea where I can even find parts for this bike? Just picked a used one up with a bent fork.
Lol the speedo isint even working right....
The speedometer only works when the bike is being pedaled.
Made in china?
RAD Rover, all day. Sorry Nakto, your bike should be priced around a grand, tops
