    KUDOS for a Great Idea! But, way pricey for the components, frame, etc... More inline with maybe $499. Looks awesome for trail riding! Lite wt, Zero Suspension, Rear mechanical disc brake only, minimal motor and battery...

    It's great to see you out and about! Walmart used to sell a similar ebike called the Kent Torpedo, although I think it only had a 175W motor. This one looks far more usable.

    Thank God I came in under your age range! Decent review my dude, but the idea of BMX was racing in my day, the trick park was later for me. I wanted to see it on the track doing jumps, etc.

      @darkslayr1 Před rokem +2

      ya i have to agree at $999 theres much more they could have done.. im not saying its a bad bike but watching this video you can see they called out things like no protection for the disc brake and stuff... these are things even if they had just put a tiny cover over it to give it a bit of protection would have been enough but instead left it bare bones and with that its not worth that price tag imo

    This would work well for my short commute to work everyday, I have a lot of pedal bmx bikes and sometimes maybe it would be fun to have an easier ride.

      I bought this, it comes with the cheapest tubes and tires and has quality issues. the disc brakes are a bad design with bmx in mind, this bike is weird and not worth retail.

      I don't make the laws, just stating facts that this video left out. If parents don't follow the age restrictions on eBikes set by state law and then their kids get hurt or die, the parents will be in
      legal jeopardy.

    The main problem is that many states do not allow riders under 15 years of age to ride electric bikes on the public streets or bikeways.

  • @EBikeBuilder_
    @EBikeBuilder_ Před rokem

    Ebikes and BMX don't really mix. BMX you want a lightweight bike thats built like a tank, with balanced weight distribution. With a rear hub motor, jumping is awkward due to the weight in the rear of the bike. Furthermore Hub motors are not made for jumping; the axle is part of a complicated machine that is not made for taking crazy heavy impacts from jumps. I see people jumping their hub motors wondering why they break. A mid drive would be much better in terms of balancing the weight of the bike, and its not taking those huge impacts. But bmx bikes dont often have derailleurs so the mid drive would lose some of its mechanical advantage. I've considered putting a mid drive on an SE bike like the Fast Ripper, but never actually did it, i just think even if the weight is balanced on the bike its still too much weight for doing actual BMX. I'm of the opinion we shouldn't try and trick BMX crowd into buying an ebike thinking they will be able to BMX on it

    battery safety, if you are going to be dropping it hard, how would that affect the batteries? unless you are targeting this product for a 15 year old, its probably illegal for anyone younger than 15, at least in CA.
