Haw mas
We appreciate the review and honest feedback. We only made 50 for the first production run to figure out what worked well and what needed to change based on performance and initial customer feedback.
Based on this feedback we will be making the following modifications:
-resolving the display issue and upgrading the display
-improving front fender
-shorter crank arms for more comfortable pedaling.
-changing grips and throttle
We will continue to listen and make the necessary changes as needed.
I love that you're responding to reviews. Would it be possible to move the tail light in a little bit so you can use the back as a handle? It really helps with the bike I have now, getting it in and out of my apartment. Also, a walk feature helps alot with me going up a small staircase I have to get it outside. Im only recommending because it sounds like you want to make the right changes and I can't say that for most companies. This will most likely be the next bike I buy. Good job!
We will consider the design change. Thank you for the feedback this is how products improve over time.
It’s great that you’re responding to reviews. If I order the bike now will it have the new render and crank arms be on it?
Nice . I see a couple other testers or reviews mentioned some of those things also .Hate to say but even if it's going to be $200 more down the road for some refinement, I would still be onboard. Nice job!
@@AlwaysNeversthe next batch of bikes in May will have a shorter crank arm, improved front fender and resolve any display issues 100%.
I love this bike. I’ve got almost 200 miles on mine. I haven’t had any issues. Very fast and nimble
What's the max range you could get at max speed?
The only problem with this bike, is there's not much space to upgrade for a bigger battery.
That's where the Goat bike has one advantage..
Which one are you talking about
@@muhammetcoban2313 this frame. It has very little more room to increase battery size.
@@kevinnashskitchen3517 I'm asking about that goat one you said has advantage which one is that
I put a 60 volt battery on mine & it looks good
@GhostCatBikes, here's my thoughts:
- As a shorter rider with a 30" inseam I like the bike's size and seat height as currently configured. That's just my vote on seat height and frame size.
- As a superbike owner (Ducati 998, Yamaha R1) I prefer the motorcycle feel, including a handlebar that mimics my billet bars. And I really like the grips on this bike, especially the full-size throttle that mimics the grips on my motorcycles. And I know I may be in the minority, but I love the composition of your grips, hard rubber and metal. Those thumb or quarter-grip throttles, fuhgeddaboudit.
- I like a display that's well laid out, color (so I can quickly see by color what's going on, and differentiate the icons and numerals), hi-res (I wear glasses, so I need crisp/sharp graphics). Also like a display that gives me full-access menus, to allow me to do anything and everything I want to do to the controller.
- As others said, yes, we need a bike to at least be configured for installation of a second battery. Side note: IMO that's where e-bikes are headed in 2024-25. A retailer is going to lose prospective customers if the bike doesn't at least have space for a second battery, preferably available from the bike's seller.
A second battery is important because we Americans are a spoiled lot. On e-bikes we are max-speed throttle-only riders. I predict people will eventually not buy bikes that provide a paltry 25 miles of throttle-only max speed riding. Indeed, I predict prospective purchasers will always opt to pay more money to get that second battery, direct from the Company who is selling the bike.
My prediction may be proving accurate considering that there's more and more dual battery bikes debuting, and on the older models (older = 2022/2023 🙂) like the Revv1 for example, the Company is offering for purchase a battery cage, battery, cradle, balancer, and wiring needed.
Lastly, I have seen some companies advertise that a rider can get good range if s/he sets the bike on PAS 3 and avoids throttle-only riding. Like I said above, that's not practical because the American e-bike rider isn't wired that way; e.g., the first thing they do with a new e-bike is enter the controller menu and set everything to the max, then we get on the road and "floor it."
Fantastic video, you looked like you was having alot of fun. I put a 60 volt battery on mine with a 100amp controller & a 6000 wt motor, great bike for upgrades. Looking forward to your next video ❤
Dang dude, video is crushing 💪 nice review of a nice bike 👏
Bout time I get more views than you. Always beating me
Wow 200k in 3 days
Why don't these companies make bigger bikes for bigger American guys? I'm 6 '1" 240 lbs , I've got four of these type of bikes they're not tiny but they're not huge either, I think these type of Manufacturers should make these at least 24 inch wheels in the future, beautiful bike. Personally I like the BMX bars on my bikes, it gets a little bit tough on the neck bent down like that but hey I'm older😂😂, they need to upgrade the display I had one of those on my $500 folding bike, for that money they can get something a little better
And yet, at 5' 4" (and owner of ten e-bikes from Ariel to Juiced to Talaria), none of these bikes really fit me either...not to the point of ever having both feet touch the ground at the stop light. Will this be "the one"? Big agreement on BMX -style bars: More appropriate than flat bars that force you into a cafe-style racer position as opposed to more upright, but that's just me not wanting to be tossed over the bars if some a-hole pulls out in front of me at near-40mph.
I always look forward to seeing your content videos 📹 loving all this E bike 🏍 stuff 😂
Nice looking bike and Ilove the name. Great review MrCD. I might consider this one for my 15 mile one way commute to work. I have lots of sections that are 55 mph so I want a faster bike with decent range.
There is a lot of competition for bikes around this category but it seems like a great bike.
I tried my bike a few days ago and I can relate to this review, but I will say that I like the grips, and yeah it is really powerful, the motor breaks, just a nice bike. The only thing I will love in this bike is more cargo space, I have two chainlocks on the bike (for the bike and my helmet) and the bag is just to small (Im using it for other stuff.
But overall, nice bike for the money.
Already waiting for your second video man.
Great review!
Cool I was wondering when you'll going to review that bike 👍
Was just looking on my feed to see if you've posted yet. Just opened the app and got the notif that you posted. 😂 It was fate.
Haha early access
I'd like to see that tail light moved in so you can use the back as a handle. It helps with me getting my bike in and out of my apartment. Also, since I discovered my bike has a walk feature, it's alot easier getting it outside. Rather than having to lift a 90lb bike up a staircase. With the walk mode, it's effortless. Every other negative I have, the company already stated they're working on a fix. This will most likely be my next purchase
I bought my first aerial Rider grizzly dual motor dual battery and it goes about 37 to 38 mph and I love my bike plus I'm saving a ton of money in gas
That kickstand locking the the pedal would help in stopping the bike from rolling while on a slight slope
Great bike! I like the red version the best!
Thats NOICE man!
Great video MrC Driver! This bike definitely rips! 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Yes it does!
After watching I have been looking at them and I think this is the one. I am 63 and need to exercise a bit.
But really I ride a 21 Harley TriGlide since my wife wanted to ride on the back. This will keep me from buying another 2Wheel Harley and ride the trike with the Mrs and have the E-bike to play with.
If I have to spend a lil more that’s ok I just want the fastest one I can get.
Take a look at the power goat bike. I'm 59 and you don't want that bike to pop up on you. Just a suggestion
What type of helmet do you wear when riding a higher performance e bike? Is full face overkill?
great review, I love it 🤩
Thank you
Im 6'3" would you recommend for me if im not using it for getting in shape.
Good video as usual! That bike is definitely going on my list of awesome ebikes to recommend under $2-grand... The only reason I wouldn't buy it is because I am 6'1"/235lbs and there is no place for larger/extra batteries. Going at decent speeds, that battery will drain with me on it in like 12-16 miles. They should at least make a rear rack for it.
They commented on another video that a rear rack will be out this spring
what’s the best 2 seater e-bike with good torque and range (top speed isn’t too important just at least 25mph) and under 1,700?
Watching from Philippines nice ebike🔥
hey i have a 8.5 mile commute each way so like 17 miles total all city do you think its doable on a single battery charge?
What happens if I adjust the locking collar for the spring in the rear suspension? Genuine question from a short rider 😅 4:44
Do you know what the IP rating for this bike is?
Wish it had a 30-35 ah instead of 20ah . Lots of power but small Battery, 20ah won’t last long on throttle only
At that point I would just buy a second battery if u need it.
Could you please do a review of the Falkn by Golden Cycles, it looks so dope! It's new so no one has reviewed it yet and I'm so curious about it 😂
Hey, little suggestion if you allow me. Your videos are rhe best and I appreciate your opinion on all different aspects. You reviewed the C3Strom Deluxe, and got impressed with the comfort. This one is also super comfy, in your opinion. Then you did Ride1Up Revv 1, Lyric Graffiti X, and Raev Bullet GTX.
Can you do a score so we know which is better in different aspects? Like torque is easy to tell by the weight and nominal value, but Comfort? 1 to 10, maybe?
Cheers 🎉
Are you going. To switch the tires or mod it out
Which would you recommend between c3strom, ghostcat and revv1? Which have the better suspension or is the most comfortable and let’s say they both had the same surron suspension, which have the better suspension geometry?
ghostcat has the best overall feel in being numble. the c3strom has the best suspension but ghostcat is right behind it. revv1 is comfortable but not as good as the other 2. thats not to say the revv1 is bad though
How does it compare to the motor goat?
Such a nice Cycle way.... Nice bike also,,..
This thing looks pretty wild, if you live someplace with a lot of hills the Grizzlies still probably the way to be, but this is probably the next best thing for 13 ish less. Hopefully we will see this go head to head against the Goat sometime soon.
Will this be a problem for me cus I’m 6’2
Do you feel like you’re leaning forward on this bike? The seat is pretty slanted. Considering this bike or the G100! I’m short, 5’4”, and want to go fast but not hunch forward and be uncomfortable.
Tailhappy hat the same issues with the display. He ordered another 1 and it did the same thing!!!
We will be resolving this issue and upgrading the display.
@@GHOSTCATBIKES awesome!! I knew you would. It's a badass machine!!
I wonder if maybe these do well, then perhaps a beefed up front suspension , 60v 25 ah battery, 50amp controller version would be in the works for next year? Just a thought.
People are always gonna want something bigger and better. This bike is perfect for the comfort and power they put into it.
On that rear tail light, they should just incorporate a metal bar around that to be used to protect that light as well as a handhold. Wouldn't be too difficult to incorporate that into the design.
We are listening to customer feedback and will consider this.
I think the rear is fine just something I wanted to mention that you don't wanna pick it up from the back.
Well, it isn't a big issue and it's not that hard to update it to where that light wouldn't get broken and complaint about that display not working on the bike.
It looks like a handle and ergonomically it’s likely way better to grip straight on from the back as opposed to gripping it from the side.
Not a problem if you’re big and strong enough or never need to lift tge tail of the bike but that’s not realistic, people do those things… way better to redesign it that average customers constantly breaking it… and probably not fixing it
Damn. Too bad it’s so small. No way I’m going to fit onto it at 6’ 2
I wish more of these companies would make multiple frame sizes the way established bikes companies do.
tailhappytv fit on it and hes taller than you but pedaling is a no go
@@MrCentralDriver fair, but I consider “cant pedal the bicycle” as not fitting.
I guess there are some people that don’t care about that though.
They now have a seat that raises the overall seat height 3 more inches
Best reviews ever. 🎉
That’s why I asked you. I need to get educated on them. I watch many vids. I like the V3 and you like it better than the cat. I heard the cat will come up on you. But I am not worried about that.
I just want it stable and able to go 40+
Live in hilly north Georgia looks like it could be a good choice for where I live ❤ I am 5.5 so it would work for me
Is it good on a mtb trail?
Debating on this and the Raev Bullet GTX, so you have a review on that one as well?
This one is better
Quick question for whoever can answer it. I "heard" that if you mess with the wheel diameter in the display it will "break" the controller or motor or just mess your bike up. Is this true on certain bikes or can you do this trick with any ebike with no problems?
It’s not a trick, it’s just calibrating the system. It doesn’t make the bike go any faster or anything.
@@mmavcanuck That's not what I heard. I heard you change the wheel diameter in the display will tell the controller it's a bigger wheel or vice-versa so it spins faster. And I've seen it on CZcams. I was just wondering if it would break my bike.
Does the night display in blue or is it bright white?
Thanks
Bright white
Thats a huge battery for only 20ah. Im sure you can have a custom made battery in a smaller case even up to 30ah.
How would you compare this to the Billy Goat? I can't decide which one to get!
Never been on the Billy goat ebike. Billy goat should be a much faster ebike with 60v but much heavier. Not as comfortable as this ghostcat bike either.
@@MrCentralDriver that makes sense! Appreciate the reply dude!!
Good reviews...
I'm looking into buying a bike soon... What would you say is the best overall best bang for your buck Bike? Something that can do street and off-road.
this at $2000 and the revv1 ride1up at $2400
@@MrCentralDriver Thanks for your insight.. That Rev1 looks really good too. Gonna get hard to choose.
I think I've seen you in town. I live in the area. Didn't know it was you. Pretty dope. Representing the central valley!
Check out E-Cell’s 5 Star. Same Base Price. Better Features, Better Warrantee, You Can Add Other Features to The Bike.
E-Cell does Not Charge Shipping, Insurance, or Tax.
Do these company's reach out too you to review these bikes or do you reach out too them or a little bit of both ? I'm really interested in the Goat bikes & wondering if you may be reviewing one in future. The Ghost cat seems to have some great potential with some minor tweaks made by the company .Great video as always
We are listening to customer feedback and we will make all the necessary corrections fix display issue/upgrade, new grips/ throttle, shorter crank arms, improve front fender, fix kickstand and eliminate any throttle delay.
You gotta have a following of people. either tiktok or youtube or somehow get yourself out there to the work and put the work in. companies will come to you if they like what they see and you have an audience that they can share the product to
Pity that we can't get it in Europe, not even a knock-off of it, the Akez Jaguar.
We deliver to the EU
How many miles can you do without going under 50% ? Going 35mph
11-13miles at 170lbs. Gonna depend on your weight. Terrain. Hills. Tire pressure etc.
That’s nice
Great ebike
I just got done watching TailHappytv's review of this and it looked like his knees were gonna hit his chin. Definitely not a bike for tall riders.
Only problem is the twenty amp hour battery. Twenty miles. All these companies keep doing that for Some reason. At least make it twenty five , so you can pull 30
I want to cooperate with you for reviewing our AWD Ebike Wallke, but you didn't reply my email.
I was on vacation but still didn't see it. Might have went to spam. Send me a new email
How about getting a softer seat?
If you find an upholsterer store local
@@MrCentralDriver You shouldn't have to do that...they should already know to put on a more comfortable seat. shame on them.
I just also watch tailhappy TV with ghost cat ebike and his speed display stop working half way too. Weird.
GHØSTCAT said in Tailhappy’s comments that they will be updating the display
For the positive : you seem to get plus $2000 worth of e-bike for $2000 . Speed and Power is great , looks good . Good value for what you are getting . Negative : what ever is going on with the display , and the battery pack . The US states are starting to crack down hard on battery packs needing UL certification as it is a huge safety issue because of potential fires and possible super cheap low end Cells . For the battery alone i would not purchase . Get that certification which tells me it is safe and not junk cheap cells , fix the display issue and the e-bike will be a home run for the money. 203mm rotors and 4 piston brakes on a $2000 e-bike is a (Huge) plus . To me absolutely necessary for stopping power at that speed . I could not see what size chainring and freewheel . Chainring should go up to 52tooth minimum and freewheel down to 11 tooth or you will ghost pedal to much , although with a really low seat pedaling will be difficult anyways . I am a fan of fenders to keep wet roads from kicking up water or mud all over me and the fenders here seem sorta useless .
Serious potential for sure . Just not quite there yet .
how tall is the seat?
Seat height 33.5 inches from the ground.
Is thisblegal to ride on the streets?
Yes bike is delivered programmed to 20mph/750W max output per class 2-e-bike compliance.
WANT!
So many options idk what to doooo 😩😭
Nice bike❤❤❤
Thanks ✌️
How much is the Ghostcat F2.2 pro?
Close to 2000
I was going to order it but decided to pass because of some issues that i can see , i really like that it does 40mph though 😊. If i could upgrade the display definitely would buy it.
I agree that old display is a big turn off.
We are currently working on resolving the display issue and evaluating upgrade options. We are listing to customer feedback and will make the necessary adjustments.
41mph NO Load = about 35 mph Max
This vs wired freedom ???
Never tried the wired freedom but that's a big huge big compared to a low moped style light bike
Disheartening to see that Tailhappy's review had the same problem with display.
We are listening to customer feedback and will resolve the display issue.
The Goats are the standard in the category...
Where's your Goat bike bra?
💯‼️
yeeee
@@MrCentralDriver That would be awesome on some of the trails nearby! Torquey-torquey-torque!
So 26 miles in throttle mode?
I'd say closer to 22-23 due to voltage sag the last few volts you won't have full power.
This or c3strom deluxe?!
C3strom is a premium built bike on all its components but it's slower. This bike feels cheaper compared to the C3STROM but this hauls ass.
how much sir
1899with my discount code mrcentraldriver
NON UL Battery is a deal breaker
We will have UL certification by end of May.
They added a password to the power settings boo
I’m the goat
HM?
Literally ALL 20” bikes are for short people, anyone lesser than 5’10”.
The control panel is garbage !
My wired has a better battery, no thank you
I don't get why the Company on this nice a bike would install what looks to be a junk no-frills 2019ish display. (Two displays failed on this bike reviewed by TailHappyTV, yours make three of this display that have failed.)
In any event, I'm seriously considering getting this bike, especially after seeing all the complaints and problems on the Revv1 and Ariel Rider bikes. Main concern I have on those bikes, LOTS of complaints about the companies not honoring their warranty, ignoring communications, and basically not standing behind their products.
So now I'm back to square one, looking at "candidates" to be my 8th e-bike purchase since 2019. My main requirement, no complaints about poor customer service.
Regarding this bike, I MIGHT not be concerned about those three cheap junky displays failing (and what that could portend) in light of the fact that the Company is online here and elsewhere interacting with prospective customers. I can't recall anyone else recently doing that (back in 2018 Rad Power Bikes was on CZcams representing the brand on all the popular e-bike channels).
In the end I might chalk up those displays as human error that occurs in the press of business; i.e., in the rush to get the demo bikes distributed those displays were the only ones available.
this display had voltage So i know that was a big reason why they went with this one and I could be wrong but depending on the controller you install on these bikes, Your limited on which displays to use. They are aware of the display issue and fixing it for all the new orders made.
The display is a reliable display the reason we went with this display is because you can see very easy during the day and has critical information in the main screen voltage and current, which is difficult to find on some displays. The issue with the display and speedometer was not the display it was a sensor communicating with the display. Regardless it’s not acceptable we will resolve this issue and look to upgrade the display. Other modifications will be done ASAP: eliminate, any throttle delay, shorter crank arms, improve front fender and new grips/throttle similar to a Surron.
We only made 50 bikes in the first batch and focused on critical components battery, controller, motor, suspension and brakes now we need to go back and clean up the little stuff based on feedback.
