Ya can't hate the Philodo H8 price, but is there an achilles heal in the formula? The thrill of dual motors propelling you to 35 mph on a fully charged 22ah 48v battery comes with its pros and cons. Going me for todays electric bike ride to learn the good, bad, and the ugly on the cheapest all wheel drive 35 mph ebike I could find under the sun.
amzn.to/3PXSpSV - The Philodo H8 is also available on amazon for a more expensive price than the link at the top of this text
The dual controllers is a unique approach, and while this awd philodo ebike might not be the most polished aesthetic, the benefits cannot be refuted.

Approaching 10,000 miles on mine and still going strong. My dual battery setup took care of the range. I rode 92 miles 1/2 on pas 3 then rode back on pas 4 and still showed 2 bars over the 1/2. I did make some mods like chain ring change and freewheel upgrade. The rest is stock. Overall the bike has been awesome.😀
All those miles on the stock seat post with no rear suspension? That's probably the first thing I'd hafta upgrade, but love the idea of a dual battery setup for it, I'm stuck between one of these and a Roadrunner V2, bout the same max speed and range, only the roadrunner be more compact and easier to take into places with me, but the torque on this bike looks incredible and has me debating
Love your channel because of you I also did the dual battery upgrade and plan on doing more. Almost 600 miles on mine though.
He has a suspension seat post on his @@mythoti
Hey, what kind of chainring and freewheel did you used?
@@Ramsas154 If you go to my freewheel change video and check the description you will find the ones I used.

Hope that helps 😀
1:05 For those concerned about the Battery, it's a ChamRiderr unit that uses Samsung INR21700 cells so probably safe and reliable
If it’s not UL certified, then battery safety is a still a concern, that’s the whole point of UL certification.

One of your best reviews 🤘🏻
18:55 I've watched this over and over and I still can't see how the bike stopped.
Peace be with you! Your channel is soo much fun to watch! Thank you for reviewing the Philodo. Recently I've learned of an ebike company, E-Street Bikes, who offer high powered ebikes. E-Street Bikes sells 2-Moped Style ebikes, the Street Swiper (Hard tail) and the Tempest Dual Battery (Soft tail). The manufacturer is claiming that their motor - single motor - output is 1500W Continuous 5000w peak (52 V 35A Integrated Speed Controller)! Perhaps E-Street Bikes can ship you a review unit. Thanks again.

What is max amp draw of controller?
@@StefanRandall There are 2 controllers 20 amps each +/- 1 amp.
i've got The same bike. I changed The crankset and added a single 46t chainring. Had to solder a different kind of pedal sensor because The stock sensor would not fit. I upgraded The Back shifter and derailleur, hotwired The key ignition and connected a way better throttle. I also added a better battery mount and The battery does not wobble anymore while riding. After all of these changes The bike is an absolute BEAST!
I also have had this bike for a few months and was going to take it to my local shop to have some changes made. What kind of battery mount did you use?
@@DropkickDemonI ordered an aluminium bracket from aliexpress that goes under the battery mount, and it has screw holes for the mount. With this bracket you can add 2 tube clamps to make The battery mounting way more sturdy. I had to place the secondary controller behind the saddle, because the bracket added a bit of extra height and lifted the battery up about 2cm. With The original placement of the secondary controller it was quite difficult to remove the battery without fear of bending a battery contact or causing too much strain to the controller wires.
@@DropkickDemon❤Definitely will be getting one. Looks every bit worth the investment.❤
No water bottle. No cup holder. No ash tray.

Thanks for the great review, after a couple of years of trying to figure out which one of these things I'm going to get and finally have the money to get it this is it. This fat tire Electric bicycle has a positive 2000/4000 and 5000 review from a guy on CZcams. The only thing that went wrong at 4,000 miles was a reflector came off of one of the pedals. 2-year warranty and supposedly the support is responsive. It's currently selling for $400 off the list price of 1899 dollars with free shipping. The first modification I'm going to get or addition to it is the shock absorber spring seat which he said completely changed his riding experience for the better. I learned that you don't want a rear suspension on an e-bike because even the most expensive rear suspension Monoshock style are prone to worn-out bushings and just wear out from all of the abuse. And it's not just the shock absorber bushings that connect to the frame component it's also the other bushings that are part of the bicycle the frame itself that the shock is not attached to. I'll be honest and say that there are other better looking bikes but for the price and the warranty and the reviews I don't care about the looks. I need this to get back and forth to work.
You're talking about Papa Blue Shirt! He's at 9100 miles now and nothing has gone wrong. He did upgrade the gears though.
@@user-nw6xc9dv1vI didn’t see that one but that makes this purchase much better. Probably add a second battery. Can’t wait for mine to show up. Gunna go have some fun. In the snow and around the mountains.
This bike is currently $1360 on Amazon with free delivery
Yeah similar price here in the UK, considering one as an upgrade to my 1000w single motor bike that has lasted 2 rough winter seasons here in the UK and is used in literally any weathers. I have lots of hills on my work commute and it slows down a lot so having dual motors and a larger battery would be nice.
It was $1029 last week. I bought 2 of them. Awesome bike.
After a lipo battery fire roasted my 96 chevy truck interior, I decided to buy one of these instead of a new truck. (I plan to rebuild the truck this spring since the fire didn't get into the dash or engine compartment.)
Since I live less than 3 miles from work this bike seemes like a great solution! I'm also kinda stoked to not constantly feed that 5.9 dinosaur juice guzzler!
From all the videos I've seen I think I'm gonna love it!
I also fly FPV drones and I'm extremely excited to fly many of the local locations I simply can't drive to in my truck!
I paid about $1500 (with tax) and it gets here this Friday!
Thanks for the review!
i think i found your youtube chsnnel where you show off you own Hi8
Good review, thanks!
I’ve had this bike for about 6 months now. Got it for 1700 off of Amazon due to it being on sale. Range wise has been amazing for me with about 30 miles of distance and still over half battery left over when I was done.
I’m 5’2 would this be for me please answer
@@BenStenson No, the minimum seat height is way too high. This is a large bike.
@@addertooth1fuck! I’m only 5 foot! I hope I don’t look like a mijet when I’m out on the street 😅
That's a beast! I just bought a motorcycle style e-bike, I live at the beach, really want to get in on the beach! All the sand in the parts kinda worries me, that looks very fun
I've had mine since October in the Oregon Cascades. Love it still
How is it working out for u???
Excellent review brother. I wish all were like you. Because of your review, I ended up buying one. Love It so far except for the display not resetting the Trip Meter. Philodo Customer service sent me a replacement and it is still not resetting the trip meter after the bike has been powered off.
I like this bike. Lots of deliverable power! Thank you
great review
The best part is the rear works in PAS wile the front only kicks in with the throttle, so You can save you battery by pedaling.
For those mentioning being able to disable the front wheel. according to Papa Blue Shirt the front motor only engages while using the throttle and uses the rear only in pedal assist. though i never saw this actually demonstrated by turning the pedals with the wheels raised
No, it is back wheel only in pedal assist. And both wheels when using the throttle. I've tested it all out. I can drive around with the throttle using the rear wheel while the front motor is unplugged. Also, PAS is disengaged when using the throttle. I have been driving around in PAS and it would quit working. It has always been that I had my throttle ever so slightly turned. It was enough to kill PAS but not enough to engage motors with the throttle. I would release the throttle and PAS returns after a second or so if I had kept pedaling.
I like it like this. I use pedal assist mostly. The 1000w motor handles most everything. Tough hills, fast starts, and dogs are the reasons that I mostly use the throttle(both motors).
Great video, thanks.
Triple chain ring, beyond being useless, is bad for using up handle bar and putting +/- out of reach. Non-integrated battery and controllers , bad too. Front one won't last long offroad. You need a motor switch ideally that allows front wheel alone too. Battery is ok. 5 seconds 0-20, maybe 4 seconds with pedalling is a great use of power. You can cut off a lot of traffic with that, and 5 seconds at 2000w is as much power as 10 seconds at 1000w, so you get places much faster, without having to cruise above 20mph to get good range.
There are a lot of used bikes that could be modded up into this bike. Once you decide on heavy instead of light, direct drive motors are the way to go. Though I like their balance decisions this bike made.
Great review. Loved your hill climb attempts. Definitely shows the value of dual motor (sand performance also due to dual motor mostly). Would have loved to see you try and use that small chain ring to pedal up that monster.
A fun, or video, idea for you would be something around that hill. Same or other bikes with pedaling. e-mtb workout fun.
i actually ordered one of this exact bike yesterday
From Powell River BC Canada Michael Simard here saying huge thanks to all the work you do
I am a full time dad I have disability that kept me from a 9to 5 so I decided to focus on the hobbies I chose RC and found a fam like no other.
Your doing this where there’s a few others that do bike advertisements and yet you do so well. What a inspiration ☺️👍👍🤘this is why I always look at CZcams for info when I decide something.
Thing is I just got a fat wheel folding 48 volt e bike and I wish I looked at all your vids first but I luckily got the best type that suits my riding style 👊😎
My dad got one similar to 😊 one goes 32 mph and mine is 30 mph tops
I will test mine soon to see what distance it gets on a charge I’m excited 🎉😊
Ive been watching your ebike test for a long time but I did watch another review from another CZcamsr who showed a Walking Speed test on the bike. I'm trying to picture and Ebike that I could pull a beach cart out on the beach with while walking the bike! I'm in Alabama and along the Gulf Coast we cannot ride a Ebike on the beach but we can walk one! Anyway, I love your videos and reviews and if you could add this feature to your test, I would greatly appreciate it!!!!
Add a speed-based traction control that does not allow the front motor to exceed the speed of the rear by a selectable amount.
I just bought the Philodo H7 and am very impressed with its hill-climbing ability here in Vermont. Love this very affordable beast. Hope you test one someday.
I just got my h7 too...awesome bike. My wife gets 35mph on her h7..love it.
It's exactly the same as the Keteles K800 bike. Except the Keteles's have a off switch for the front wheel hub and no hydraulic brakes.
I did a bunch videos of a hill climes, woods paths and a very rock beaches etc, here in Newfoundland Canada.
I have yet to go on a trail that this bike has failed.
Popa blue shirt has over 6000 miles on his according to his videos.
Enjoyed your ride once again. Good job.
The keteles is 1000w and this one is 2000, not sure what you mean it's the same
What no it’s not the Keetles k800 is a 2000w awd
youre right my bad@@Hshshdhehhehehew
@@HouseofGausss all good
The Keteles K800 is currently $400 less than the Philodo H8.
Very nice cable manegement 👍👍👍
an AWD mountain bike!?!? I need that in my life.
@TailHappyTV I think you should do a quick re-review of this bike with controller setting P14 changed from the default 12 Amps which limits both motors to 575 Watts, to either a more reasonable 20 amps (960 watts per motor) which I set my bike to or even 25 amps (the controller rating) which would allow 1200 watts per motor. It might be capable of more but the battery is limited to a 50 amp draw 25 amps from each motor. It won't affect top speed since that RPM limited but should make a difference in acceleration, hill climbing and in sand performance
I may try this when I get all the parts in for the dual battery mod on my "similar" bike (ZEEGR S1). I have mine is currently "de-tuned" to 31 MPH, so I don't stress the single battery pack. But once I have two batteries of 48V 22.4 AH (each) in place, it will be time to bump it back to 35 MPH and higher controller current. The second battery is going to be installed on the luggage rack behind the seat.
How much do you know about batterys (as far as distance is effected by voltage, AH, and controller size) that would be a great video. Gett my Amp rides DS in 2 weeks
If it's the same as the one I rode the pedals only enable the rear motor and the twist throttle works both
Banger
I totally agree that the two smaller chain rings on the front are pretty much useless, unless your battery dies. Then you might need them just to be able to pedal the bike lol😅 this bike is good for people that live in the desert, and people that live in the snowy mountains.
Also great for those who want to ride on the beach.
This bike is tempting!
Hi Matt 👋
Just wondering if you have done a review on the smlro v3 1000w dual motor yet? As i cant find a video on your channel.
I live in the uk and most of the bikes you review wont ship here 😔 which is a shame as there has been some really nice ones that look awesome aswell as pack a punch!
Anyway if you haven't done a review of the smlro v3 could you?
i just got mine yesterday, this video doesn't give justice to how big this bike actually is
Poppa Blue Shirt just got 10000 miles on it in 8 months. I got the Kettles k800 version, which is the same but has a front wheel on and off switch. I enjoy the AWD.
What's the real top speed of the Kettles K800?
Thanks in advance.
It would be easy to wire a cut off switch to that front motor. Not sure why they didnt include one
Hi! Thinking of getting the macfox v2. I don’t like the half twist can u maybe show how to change it to full throttle? I don’t know anything about bikes, I know lots of people wanna know too! Thanks
That was incredible
Philodo Just came out with a brand new bike... the Jumbo, imagine this but with full front and rear suspension, Dual 23 Amp Hour batteries, a full color display, only 1 front chain ring ... currently listed for $2500 on their website. any chance @TailHappyTV might get one to review
The H8 has cruise control and you can adjust the power availibility in the program PO8. This bike is not really for pedaling Its like a Caddy if you add a seat shock. Range is about 20 miles full out at 25 to 34.7 mph and hills are climbed easily. the best way to get range and perfomance is to run at 25mph and let your momentum carry you and pulse the throttle to maintain speed and you will get about 30mph. The best way to check your range is by looking at your voltage, a full charge is 54.9 volts and will go down around 42 volts. A full charge coupled with a positive mental attitude will yield much fun!
For range I use PAS 4 while basically ghost pedaling.. carries me at 25 mph using just the rear motor... while more on reserve if i kick it up to PAS 5
Man, thanks for another great review! - I'd definitely consider this one. You should try and get a Road Warrior X2 60v bike from Fabulous EBikes of Canada... I'd LOVE To see a review of that one! - You could do a 3-way review of the Wired Freedom, the Philodo H8, and the Road Warrior X2 60v.
He has a second channel where he reviews all the Faster bikes, including the 60v models.
@@Animalwon Hey and thanks for replying. I know about the other channel and I'm a subscriber to it too... Looking back through the back catalog, I have NOT seen a review of the fabulous AWD 60v Road Warrior tho. If he's done it, i'd love a link.
18:54 this was a banger
Would the battery last a little longer if you didn't go thru the sand? I wonder how much an extra battery would cost and the time frame for a full charge?
I realized something about the speed cutoffs in the various PAS modes, they're multiples of 10 km/h in mph... 1 is 10 kph, 2 is 20 kph, 3 is 30 kph... etc
I have one and IT IS GREAT!
Seems pretty up there in power but I think you have reviewed better in that price range. Thanks for video! always interesting for comparing!
Could l you please specify some options in this price range that has similar specs? I just bought this bike and it's pretty powerful, helps me get on the road at decent speeds without feeling like I'm holding down the traffic too much. Also helps me go up and down some really steep roads with little effort. Only asking cause I'm still within the return period and wouldn't mind returning this for a cheaper one that does the same job
I'm not sure you will find a cheaper one like this one, I've checked several times. I have one also and I'm not sending it back ,don't have a good place to ride traffic is terrible! No respect for bike riders! We have bike trails but you have to drive long ways to get to them.
@@HouseofGausss I just got one, and it’s great.
@@StefanRandall I got mine shortly after that comment, been loving it
U should review the ridstar q20 pro dual battery and motor bike
Without knowing anything... The controller looks to house 2 18 amp controllers. Wow! Two controller cases. Neat. That's a bunch of amps more than I guessed. But the mounted case looked like it could hold 2 of the 17-18 amp controllers.😂 That's what I get for commenting mid video.
The wheels aren't built right on that bike. The spoke tabs aren't all supposed to be facing the same direction, they're supposed to alternate in and out.
Love the rollerskating 😂
I think you mean the rollerskater
Yeah the roller skating that the roller skaters did was good. 73
No rear suspension!? What were they thinking?
AWD! Hell yes 🙌🏻 💥
I think the main theme of awd bikes is that you should have a way to turn down the power of the front hub for launching. I believe the Fabulous bikes have that front power adjustability. But a Fabulous bike you're looking at $2,800
Yes. Needed feature for dual motor type of bike to take off in popularity.
I have one of these bikes , a little less torque in take off would be nice but once you get a mile a hour it takes off and away you go. No spinning of the front tire . I really like the bike but I have no place to ride around my neighborhood ,bad traffic!
@@jeffhagberg6796 that's why I was looking at dual hub folding bikes. Or a powerful rear hub folding bike like the Amp Rides.
When you start from standing still, with just pedaling (no throttle) you will not get launched like a rocket.
I also have an awd, and i don't mind it most of the times that the frontwheel spins a little bit. But yes it can be annoying. Also you have to watch out in corners.
Take it easy on the throttle.
AWD only engages under throttle, if you are using pedal assist the rear wheel does all the work. Though there is something cool about spinning the front wheel off the line when you twist the throttle in PAS 5
Keteles K800 - $1,499 with coupon K100. Again no tax, free shipping for the same bike. AND a switch to turn off the front motor,
Oh my😮 the rollerskate bikini girl during the break test needed to get a second look on pause.
came to the comments for this specifically.
Noooo
You do great reviews! Looking for a bike that can handle my frame. I’m a bigger guy at 6’2 and 260lbs.
Nothing really off road but occasional sand (I live in Florida) I was considering the Himiway Zebra. Thoughts?
Wired freedom is kind of the bike to beat right now, and it should be able to handle your size without issue.
@@citystuff7184The Grizzly!! I am 6'1 230 and that bike is all that I need. Built to last!!
What reccommendation would you give between this and the Wired Freedom 2024? My main objective is to tow a heavy duty cargo trailer. Thanks.
I looked at this bike but there is rmtwo much going on with the battery and controller, s on the frame, impressive bike
Funny question, how close are your feet to the front tire while riding, how would a men’s size 15 be? That has been an issue with other bikes.
I guess you could disconnect the front motor until you think you need it.
Yeah thats what I was thinking. Just unplug it. save juice if not needed. Plug it in if you do. Kind of a pain but it would work.
or just pedal, both motors only engage while under throttle
@@chuckwolf9869 yes, only problem for me is that I can't.
Install a switch after the warranty is up. 73
Which one had more power in the sand, this one or the wired freedom?
you must get this question all the time - but do you sell any of these bikes after your done with the reviews. I am looking for a daily commuter bike like this one.
Great bike for the money. I use it to commute to work all year round. I was using a himiway cruiser before I got this but bought this because I would imagine the awd would help in blizzards
How has it been for you so far? I spotted a $340 coupon on amazon bringing the total to $1360 and im inches away from biting the bullet, lol...
@RamyWarda I really like it. It tops out at 30mph which is fine (I'm 175lbs) battery lasts a good long while and the front wheel pulling you when needed is very very nice.
@@FabioCrow07770 Thanks for the reply/feedback. Seems like this is the same bike as the SMLRO XDC600. Very tempted for sure.
@@RamyWarda tbh, I'd get it from the website and not amazon if you want to save money, the website has the bike for the same price and no shipping cost (though amazon does too) however amazon will add tax, the philodo website does not.
@@danielfranz6560 SMLRO makes the actual frame, the Philodo as it turns out is just a rebrand of the same product. I ended up ordering the XDC600 direct from them for $1,090. Same dual controllers/dual 1000w motors, but with the color display which is nice. I was able to get it all matte black instead of black/blue.
You can turn off the front motor; unplug it. Unplug the controller, it has 2.
The Zeegr has a button on the handlebars for switching the front motor off and on. No need to unplug stuff.
Hi I need your help, can you give me instructions on how to set up the display on k800pro, thanks.😊
wow great bike do agree it need to designed to look more professionally made i mean the canvas cover for the controller looks terrible....peace out
I kinda like the whole DIY vibe of it. Should be very easy to work on and repair, modify, etc.
4:56 I wonder if it comes in a 27.5 inch version
Hello, can you tell me something about the new KETELES K800pro bike, thank you
Did I understand you to say that there is a delay when you peddle, but no delay when you throttle? Also, does the throttle bypass both the gearing and the peddle assist levels?
My Keteles k800 is essentially the same bike only I have a switch to choose from one wheel or all-wheel. Frames and components are all nearly identical. $1450. It's fast even with a 300lb guy on it.
Does the K800 use the front wheel in pedal assist with the switch on, or only with throttle like this bike?
@@mobilephone4045 the front wheel only works under throttle. Believe me you don't want the front wheel to run under pedal assist, it would be very dangerous.
Thank you
8:44 wow good zombie apocalypse bike.
Been waiting on this one. Love mine!
When you use the pedal it uses the rear wheel the throttle uses both. I bought one for my wife 5ft 4in 45 kg to clime the long hill we have and this thing goes right up at 25 mph her old bike 500 watt walmart special would just quit.
Would like a review of Surron ebike. Would have to take it outside city to ride or get motorcycle license. You did say you would do anything for your subscribers.
This 70 MPH ebike is DANGEROUS

Could you please do a review of MAGICYCLE 20" TIRE ., VERY UNIQUE BIKE
What you can tell me about the TT Ebike 2000w 23AH 48V?
I had heard that the rear motor runs off of pedal-assist and the front motor runs off of throttle, is that still the case?
His in house early in video after assembly part, the throttle was spinning both wheels off ground on kickstand.
Correct the front motor only works when throttled
Ive got a very similar bike just under a different brand. And with mine the both motors are on when you use throttle. If you only use peddle assist, then only the rear motor engages. Im guessing its the same on this bike
I have the H8. It is the same as you describe.
@@soonerthebetter2361 On the ZEEGR (similar 2 motor 2kw bike) the front motor will engage as needed if you select "cruise control" and hit an incline.
Hi. I thought the duel motor will help climb the hills
This would be a really cool bike if it had a full suspension and a nice comfortable upright riding position ! I can hear the shaking in your voice riding this thing.
They have another model for a couple more hundred dollars with full suspension.
@@dhg1337 Just clicked in the Pilodo web sight, Theres only 2 models offered, the H8 and the cheeper single motor version H7. No full suspension bikes. They do offer an adjustable stem which should help a little with the lousy riding position.
We will release a dual battery dual motor e-bike with full suspension by the end of this year@@robertstewart3086
Can you do an end of year top 5 e bikes?
Awesome video! Only downside is that you wore going way to fast past all the bums. :)
lol
Please, be respectful; they’re called home challenged.
I think the wide angle cam makes it look like he's going faster than the real. Look at MPH when he has the display on camera.
So this bike is on sale for the same price as the velotric nomad… what would be the better bike?
The only reason that gearing was specd is because it's cheap to buy in bulk. Im assuming that's a stamped chainring, square tapered bb, non tapered headtube. Just standard cost cutting
Standard off he shelf parts are the appeal of this e-bike. I replaced both the crankset and flywheel for around $50.00. Parts for this bike should be available for years to come.
I have that slow start on my pholodo h8 as well if you riding the bike and come to a stop within seconds if you gas it again you'll have full throttle on that front wheel I don't really care for this slow start set up so I put a 35 amp controller for the rear sandwich 2 controllers that came with the bike into the bag
make sure P09 is set to 0 this is the setting for zero start on the throttle
Where can I buy it in canada,,, Amazon doesn’t come up
anyone know how to find a controller that has the right wiring for the bike to swap out? Mine is s similar bike thats 1000 watts and came with a 20amo controller i wanna put in a 30 or more
the emove roadrunner is awd and reaches 35 mph you should try it
Dude you must be 6'3 because I'm 5'11 and I have to adjust the seat to min to mount this bad boy.
Anyway I weigh about 350 or so and the bike does not seem to care. 32mph max on flat and 25 on incline 30deg.> . I do help the bike if it starts dropping mph up hill witch is not often.
The light is great but you have to adjust it just right or you will blind people or out run your light to stopping distance in the dark.
I almost want to call myself this products torture tester.
I know I will not get the 30-40mile range because of my weight but the fact this bike doesn't even flinch with the torque is awesome.
I am sorry I didn't see this vid before purchase so you could have collect some promotional dabloons.
23mil. on the odo since 10-29-23 (delivery and assemble was on the 29th) and I love this bike.
If the Batt. lasts a year+ This will exceed my expectations.
I’m not positive but I think the throttle does the front and the pedal works the rear?
Peddle only, will only activate the rear motor, throttle does both motors.
I like that bike . Where do I get one. Are they 👌🤞👍reliable? Thanks. 😊
18:55 nice
If you spot this comment, just curious: deciding between this and the Velotric Nomad 1. Price difference comes out to just $50 now, $1450 for the velotric after tax, H8 for $1499 all in with shipping. Wanting something fun as hell but practical enough to fetch a few groceries with and leave the car parked. Which would you go with for a 1.5 mile work commute 3-4 days a week?
Edit: Price on the H8 just dropped a bit further with a coupon. $1360 now before tax, same as the nomad after tax.
I would go with this, way more powerful than nomad, remember nomad can only go 25 mph top speed, which isn’t even class 3 top speed at 28 mph, which is very disappointing.
@@blackwhirlwind1245 totally; way ahead of ya! I ordered the SMLRO xdc600, which is the same exact bike (SMLRO makes the frame, philodo/others resell it after customization). Ended up saving a bit more compared to the H8, $1150 after tax.
