Turn signals... Horn... Brilliant!
For me these features put it at the top of the 750 watt hub motor class of e bikes, the dual suspension and 21 amp hour... Wow.
I love when you give such full comprehensive ebike reviews, you went above and beyond on the information, seriously such a great review, thank you for the hard work CC!
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed!
Any all weal drive bikes afront hub 750. Watt motor same on the rear. Wheel
Maybe a handlebar option. I prefer higher, closer bars in my advanced years.
It exists!!!! Glad to see this thing is real and sounds like a nice ride.
DUDE,,,,
You reviewed a Bike that would have been chosen OVER my sweet Himi Cruiser,
I pulled the trigger on that March. but WOW, THAT is a Nice Ride,,,
and of course you delivered a review that give all the relevant info.
Good Job Citizen. see ya next time
Great review Citizen. I love your style, and your reviews are packed with so much great info and thought, all in a very honest, personable and concise way. I look forward to every one. Thanks.
Another comprehensive review, awesome, and another bike for me to consider. As usual in your videos, concise from a consumer standpoint that I have become to expect and love from you, thank you.
I'm currently recommending a few different e-bikes for a friend of mine to buy. I just recently sent her this one because of all the features. And just now when I'm rewatching this video again, I miss the hydraulic brakes. That's awesome, yet another big perk with this bike.
Great timing, I can't wait to see your range test video. I JUST bought this bike. I was debating between this and the Haoqi. With the 21ah battery and the insane mountains I live in, I think this was the right choice.
Thanks for another thorough review. I have the Cyrusher XF650 for myself, and purchased this exact BeeCool for my wife. With all the features included, this is one of the best priced bikes out there. We are looking forward to getting her bike in the next 2 weeks, hopefully! Also, glad to see your wife fit the bike well. My wife should fit just right.
That's great! You might end up being jealous of her bike though... Haha
@@CitizenCycle925 Yep, kind of figured that out already LOL!!
Its not thorough , he is leaving out all the negative stuff.
Ordered the bee Cool Explorer and it shipped and arrived in less than a week! I was leaning toward the Aventon Aventure before I watched your videos. Thanks for the very in depth review! Still putting it together and have to adjust the front disc brake that’s rubbing a little. Changed the handle bar stem to an adjustable one so I can sit up a little straighter. This bike is HUGE! Kind of intimidating but I was able to get on, I’m only 5’6” with creaking knees. Keep up the great reviews!
Bee Cool is NOT a trustworthy company. Their company contact page lists a shady residential address in Bromly, England when you write them, and the main address in Ontario, California Is a shared Warehouse space normally used by companies temporarily. I have tried repeatedly to contact this company for basic information, like where they are actually located, and their customer service straight up ignores or does not understand the question. Bee Cool DOES NOT MAKE THEIR OWN BIKES. All of these bikes can be ordered from Alibaba for SIGNIFICANTLY less cost from the original manufacturer, Aimos. Bee Cool is just a drop shipping company, selling someone else's product through a shady website. I do not have a problem with Asian business. I do have a problem with a business pretending to be in the USA, and pretending that Noah, and Vicky, and John all work there, when the poor grammar and typos tell me that English is definitely NOT their strong suit. If they are dishonest about WHO they are, and dishonest about WHERE they are, then they are not trustworthy to buy from.
@@majorbogart3476 those aimos bikes aren't full suspension. I looked.
@@majorbogart3476 What you said about what these companies are is certainly true in many cases. It doesn't necessarily mean they're all untrustworthy. Some are. Anyway, you've done everything but tell us who the actual manufacturer is. Until you do that you really can't speak specifically about Be Cool.
I like this bike. I like the geometry of the frame, the color, twist throttle, rear suspension, hydraulic brakes, etc... I would definitely consider this bike. Great review!

Finally an in depth review on this bike \m/
Hey, I resent that 90 year old turn signal comment. Excellent and very comprehensive review. I have the Adventurer on order. Can't wait.
Great thorough review. Looks like a real winner!!
Nice looking bike. I ordered one late Aug. Will be my first ebike. Thanks for the overview.
Should be a pretty solid first bike, Hope you like it! 😁
Like watching your videos. My Ariel rider X class 48v has rear suspension and was under 2,000 . Your review on the X class made me buy it. I have no regrets. I'm looking at this Bee Cool fir for my wife. Thanks for the info...
Best purchase my wife and I ever made. Love them! Have updated several things at little cost. Seats, handlebar riser. I ordered my wife a shorter shock which will actually lower the stand over height by 1.5” . She struggled with the overall height a little so hopefully that will benefit her.
Fantastic review! In comparison to some of the other ebikes I've researched, so far this is the bike that I would buy just based on your thorough and in depth review. And the price is really not too bad for all of what you get with be cool.
This is the best review I have seen on this bike. Now it’s $1,499.00 delivered to your door.
I got the magicycle. Love it. This bike was my second choice. Great looking bike.
both of them are great bang for your buck :) glad you got one you love :)
I really like that bike, the battery 🔋 is 48v 21ah full suspension, the color is cool 😎 now this is the best deal I have seen thank you citizencycle
It does seem like a pretty good deal for what you get, competition is heating up amongst these bikes 😁
I like the bee cool ebike . I'm in Australia & I found a cargo ebike called 20" "Vinxs cargo " it has front & rear suspension & indicators front & rear . Costing $1050.00 aussie $s. This a different type of bike but cheap in or terms . Top speed 45kmh , 80km , 48vlt , 20 amp battery larger batteries available . Thanks lenny
I respect your 'frankness', thanks for your honesty.
Nice review, just ordered one for my first e- bike.
Hope you enjoy it!
Amazing review,…..you’ve just convinced me on getting this bike instead of the rad plus,…..thanks so much and you’ve just got another subscriber
Thanks for the sub Raul! Good bike for the price and fantastic range as well 🙂
Awesome review, thanks for the info, it’s been difficult trying to find a bike like this that ship to Canada 🇨🇦. Keep up the great work bro 😎
There's a few companies based in Canada also Biktrix, Rize, Fabulous.
I think I saw that Canada limits ebikes to 500 watts. I don't know if that is on federal land or anywhere.
Thanks for the info, have you seen one or tested the ET Cycle T1000? Seems like a decent ride but so far I’m unable to find out what brand of battery is being used or who makes the motor. Thanks for your help👍🏻
Good job. Nice review
Ordered mine in aug. Hopefully will be here on a couple of weeks thanks for the review cause I didn't test ride one yet
So you ordered it did you get it yet how did this bicycle workout for you?
Nice to change it up a little well done.
Loved it great buy....
The battery is great for sure and a good looking bike.
Huge size but I wonder whose cells are used?
@@ActivityPhoto cells are made by Lishen.
I'm glad these designs are lowering and in some cases eliminating those top bars along the frame when it comes to these Ebikes. It never made any sense to me since I was a kid why they would make you swing over your leg more than you need to on every bicycle I ever owned.
Great post very informative. You helped me decide to buy this bike. They should give you a little to boot
Fiido m1 cost me 750 English pounds front and rear suspension 20in fat tyres and I love it .
Your back yard setup it goated
I suggest when doing Your range test, not only use throttle only, but also a consistent speed, on a level road, with a consistent weight. Like throttle at 16 mph, level road, and total weight on bike of 185lbs. That way one can use the comparison with other e-bikes. Also if a standard range test is set then others with their e-bikes could report their range based on similar parameters. BTW, I love Your videos.
Definitely looks like the best bang for the buck
I ordered the matte green Adventurer - should get it in 3 or 4 days. I'd like to maybe put some slicks or non knobby tires on it since I only do pavement riding; for quietness, smooth coasting & and more mileage. I choose to buy this bike mainly because of the long range/high battery capacity.
Himi- Out of the box, full charge 7th gear, 9 PAS full throttle pedaling me arse off flat ground, no wind etc.
Display fluctuates 29.7 28.7 back and forth nothing between. That's glitchy! Contacted Bolton and company said
a big maybe on a new controller and display. 200 bux to match your Himi and color display is a deal.
Brian maybe you can do a collab with Kyle and get this aftermarket product thru you? Yes a short 30mph is fast, but nice to have 5 plus klicks in the back pocket. RIDE ON! and nice review of a BEEautiful bike.
The red button to shut off the throttle is nice when moving the brake around with the key on so it take off on you
This bike bike is great for money better than most IMO 👍👍
Hey Citizen,
Would you consider this bike a good candidate for adding the front hub motor kit you used to create your all wheel drive rad rover bike?
Right off the bat, stand over height is almost identical, I think they're making a mistake by not offering a lower step over height so older folks or those with physical issues can ride it.
One of the BeeCool Explorer ebikes coolest features is the Rear Suspension so not gonna be a step through!
You could not make the bar lower.
BeeCool may make a step through in the future but this is their first model.
Yeah ! I've got one testicle that hangs down a little lower !
Thanks for the thorough review. Since you've had the bike hands on, do you think it's possible to simply swap the position of the horn/turn signal with the controller for the display, so that the controller is closer to the left grip? (I don't know if the cables will permit that.) If so, that's probably what I would do. I'd rather have the controller close by and stretch for the turn signal horn, that I'll never use as much as the controller. I'm really leaning towards this bike. (I also like the Surface604 Rook (with the 21ah upgrade), but that's $800 more.)
Thanks for the detailed review. The part where your wife showed how the bike at lowest seat setting fit her was important to me. The Explorer seemed designed for shorter folks but was a bit much for a 5' 3" person. Was thinking about it for my teenaged daughter but now not so sure.
ask him why he is not giving you the return policy , you get back fifty percent on a used bike, and most show up damaged , only a fool would send this kind of money to get a bike delivered that is going to be damaged and no one stands up in this company, they dont pay for labor of replacing the damaged parts
@@z4u68 They are definitely shady. They capped all damages/repairs at $40 dollars. They couldn't even send replacement parts because of how slow shipping is from China. Told me get parts and repairs from a bike shop and I'd be reimbursed but when I kept pressing to make sure that I had in writing that I would get a full reimbursement they told me about the cap. I went through PayPal and wanted a full refund. They waited until the deadline and offered a partial refund of $200. I thought it was for the repairs/replacements so I took it but they expected the bike back in original packaging after going back and forth for 2 months. Talked to Paypal a few times and decided to keep the $200 because the claim was in my favor and closed. Got the repairs/replacements and they voided my warranty. The company is terrible but the actual bike has been fun to ride.
@@deehines5750 thanks for sharing.. I like my bike to but never again will I buy from them. Happy trails my friend.
i am impressed!
On my Himiway cruiser they swapped out the Tektro Aries brakes for cheaper Radius brand brakes . There was rubbing and pulsing that I could not adjust out and Himiway paid for new Tektro 180mm rotors .
Thanks for review I guess really got Wednesday but anyway looks like cool bike most knobs people want three things speed range and price
I Liked what Bee Cool Explorer offers at the price.
I own a PathFinder.. walk mode is a great cruise control.. set it at 15 mph and ride !
Very thoroughly done. Great review. Two question ! 1 what is the adjustment on the opposite fork from the one you discussed?
2 how do you adjust the brake handle for more play. Right now on this new bike it appears to be dragging a little bit. It squeaks loudly when just pushing the bike. Thank you for any input. Carl
Did you set the P8 to 100 to get the full speed or what setting down you use?
I wonder if it's worth modding this bike. It has some cool additions that most of the other bikes in its price range dont have, but it would require a change of the motor controller and possibly the hub motor.
CitizenCycle BeeCool is the correct name not Bee Cool but not a big deal as you would say. :)
Thanks for the awesome review!
The battery cells are made by Lishen.
The Aventure is 15Ah not 18Ah
It says 21ah though... What am I missing
@@JoeDubs432 my aventure is 15 ah battery
@@JoeDubs432 Aventture is made by Aventon. BeeCool makes the Adventurer and both are mentioned in this video.
I got my girlfriend this bike and I bought a 203mm brake disc kit to replace the front disc. The later bikes don't have the shutoff for the throttle, come with a mount for a front rack and 180mm brake disc. I'm sure there are other updates.
So your review has made this bike even better!
Seriously thinking of getting one they’re 200 off right now!! Still recommend it?
MOSFETs in controller are rated 25amp max, which is why it is set for 22amp max
That's a cool Beach Cruiser bike
12:45 May I ask what type of terrain and hills that you used on your throttle only test run
Thank you a lot for you videos. It helps me a lot with my choice for a first electric bike. I'm living in France, so do you know if there is any possibility to have acces to this bike in Europe ?
Apparently, except with Cyrusher, it is really hard to get one of these electric fat tire outside of the US.
It could be the fact of a different laws restrictions (in France, max 250w and 25km/h 😔) or customs taxing but it seems to be OK with Cyrusher and their powerful XF650 to 900. hum.. weird, isn't it ?
Another great review. What Bike/GPS app are you using? Thanks
Hi,that looks like the same shock that came on my 48v xclass I got last month if so try turning cylinder counter clock wise,it ain't easy but worked ( storm) was name on shock .I see now yours is slightly different
The Mozo Fatman Sus Fork is actually pretty cheap. Saw them on Alibaba for $11. ea when bought in bulk. They don't hold air long-term well and there's no rebound adjustment, which trust me... you definitely want. I replaced my Mozo Fatman with a $140. Bolany ZTZ Cheetahs sus fork with rebound. It too is a light-duty fork, but it holds air well and the rebound adjuster and lockout works fine. I sort of baby it tho. It's miles better than the Fatman..
BeeCool Rocks! I really love the Challenger but I want to ride bike trails and the Explorer may be accepted better by the 'bicyclists' there... Plus, in Okla City, Bike trails are for Class 1 and 2 only. Class 3 bikes not allowed! So, the Challenger make look way too cool to risk a $500 ticket. The Explorer is also lighter, better cost and about the same range as the heavier bike
Very helpful videos. I am looking at the updated escape pro or the G-Force ZF. Are you going to get this G-Force? I assume it is similar to the one you did with papa.
Just got my orange explorer but the mpg does work trying to resolve it through beecool but the technical department is trying to send me something but my google email wont let it come through. Would you know what all the settings are supposed to be in the background?
Like the reviews! Are you familiar with FISSION eBikes? Have you done a review of the 750 or 750x? Love to see it. I'm on the fence of which bike to get.....
I am considering this one or the Aventon Aventure. I'm only 5'4 so this may be out of my comfort zone also with the way the handlebars are made.
Don't believe a word they say, buying from Beecool bikes is a mistake! You will be gambling, you might never receive your bike, just hear a bunch of lies! They are crooks!
If I bought this bike I would swap the position of the PAS/ON-OFF with the horn/turn-signal on the left side; on the right side I would swap the position of the throttle cancel with the shifter.
How does this compare to an Aventure or a Himmiway Cruiser in terms of torque and speed?
Front shock preload adjustment is on the other down tube.
I think the stripe on most tires are for visibility. Most bike accidents happen from the side
They make self canceling blinkers for bikes, have been for years. They work by time or by after the turn when the bike levels back up.
I think this is the one I'm gonna get its really nice for the price. How were the brakes on this one?
The red button disables the throttle so you don't accidentally engage it as you get on on or off the bike, as if not to throw you off unexpectedly.
or get you in trouble if you accidentaly press it for example when your going up a hill ,not good i 'd rather use the brake i changed it on my Rover . You get use to anything
@@laplantemichel709 Note that when the red button is depressed disabling the throttle you will see a 08 Error on the display.
08 is not a problem and will go away when the throttle is turned on.
I will take it!
Please join the BeeCool Bikes Owners Group on Facebook.
Haha i bet!
I’d like to see a pedaling range test. Please!
I get they sent you the bike. Do you get to keep it or do you have to send it back? If you keep it, do you have to pay for it...full price or discounted? Thanks. Great review...really thorough. Looks like a Stunner X. BTW dual suspension on the Ariel Rider 48v X-Class.
He gets to keep the ebike at no cost in exchange for the review.
But I believe he does very honest reviews.
When the battery is charging there should be a red light illuminated until the green one pops up correct?
Two and one half inch tires on that thing it would be killer crazy for city riding.
Maybe a 10 second cutoff switch for the turn signals? That would be cool.
Good video! Throttle only range, 41 miles is impressive. Wish we knew what the cells were. Adjustable front shock always a plus and worth. Sorry they didn’t do that. What was the stock seat like with the rear suspension. I suspect not good, because of how stiff you reported on rear shock. Love to see an adjustable rear shock one day that was affordable. I’d give up hydraulic brakes for a high quality adjustable rear shock. That would save the investment we have to make on suspension seat posts. I have a used Kinect. I still paid $150 plus a new post sleeve, so you know what I mean. Aventure still seems hard to beat in the $1500-1900 Fat tire price range. Anyway, that’s my 2 cents. Thanks for the info.
Cells are made by Lishen.
Beecool website lists the handlebar height for both bikes at 41.5" not 45" ?
Which e-bike would you suggest for a guy 6'2 and 275 pounds, for range, speed and hill climbing? Rad Rover 5 sucks, my bad. Thanks
Ok, so I'd like a different handle bar to turn back towards my t rex arms. I have an inergy cycles folding bike with the same type of bars, so I'm stretching. But all in all, I like that Bee Mine, bike.
I just got mine today, unfortunately the battery was damaged during shipping. I'll keep you updated on how beecool handles this.
I know they aren't exactly the same, but what do you recommend... this bike, or the Himiway Escape? Thanks!
It on my short list
Hey citizen, I have a question for you on this bike . do you think there's enough room for the wires on this bike to put a pretty good-sized handlebar extension to raise the handlebars up and back to you
Yes there's enough slack in the cables to raise the handlebars a good amount I wouldn't worry about it.
Thanks for your reply, I always look forward into watching your videos,you do a great job
How does this compare to the ariel Rideal or x-class?
Hey I have the same bike how would I go about bumping up the speed limit
Bee cool is a good looking bike.
8:25 - "that would be cool". Pun intended? :-). Great review. I've ordered one in orange. There is $200 discount until 12/31/21.
Wishing you a speedy delivery :)
@@CitizenCycle925 Bike arrived within 1 month of purchase. Box was damaged but bike was intact. Only nut that is needed to tighten the front fender/light was missing. No complaints here. So far I'm loving it, but Chicago winter will have to pass before I start using the bike for daily commute. My goal is to take this bike over Black Bear Pass this summer. Fingers crossed.
Would you recommend this one or the Aventon Aventure?
The fork adjustment is on the other side
I hit $1700 on a poker machine during lunch today. Purchasing one tomorrow.
What about the heat on passing thru those little by wires? Almost caused a fatal problem in my himi cause of that. Full power on some of these ebikes is no beuno . Wires cant take it full time
I just got my first E bike it’s a Cyrusher,,I put it together and it’s like the back tire is too large for the rim have you seen that before, I aired it up and sat on it and the tire popped off. I took it to the local bike shop they aired it up I drove a two blocks from the tire popped off have you seen that before?
Yes, you need to seat the bead properly. I had the issue myself on my XF650. I took my time and slowly filled and pushed the bead into the rim, filled some more and kept going in that cycle until 20PSI
I was leaning towards Magicycle until seeing your review. Nice job. Are there any discount codes? The 21Ah battery is the big difference. My wife wants something smaller. Lots of trails around here.
Oh, self canceling turn signals are easy and been around for years. Better than a car's, too. They automatically shut off after 15 seconds and 150 feet have passed. My 1976 kawasaki 1000 LTD and 1978 kawasaki 1000 Z1R had them.
After all the time I spent searching for the best ebike for me, I finally ordered an Ariel Rider Kepler. It should be here by the end of July.
It was your hill climbing video that swayed me.
Where do you get these self canceling turn signals then? I can't find any any advice or locations?
@@mikemymail7044
I was referring to Citizen's comment about self canceling signals not being on motorcycles. They've actually been available on them for years. I don't know of anything made for ebikes.
What mineral oil should I use for my Bee Cool
Great review! Do you know the diameter of the seat post tube? I called customer support and the person I talked to didn't know.
On the bike I have I believe it's 31.6 mm
