  • This is my honest review of the $3,500 A1 Pro eBike from ASYNC. It looks like it's from the future, and has some incredible speed and range, but some major cons I found!

    What do YOU think? Worth the $3,500 price tag?

    Thanks for putting the A1 to the test, Ben! That topple alert was unfortunate, and looking into your other feedback as well! Ride on ⚡

    Dope review, love how you really test it to its limit with all those jumps. I really hope you get the Ristretto 512 and do the same testing. Its my favorite bike currently and I ordered one. Hopefully they ship it in November.

    i tried to tell them during their indiegogo campaign that they didnt create the bike with rear suspension sag in mind and they didnt listen. everyone you see on this bike has the back sagging down pretty bad in the back.

    • @Smaug1
      @Smaug1 Před 6 měsíci

      Yeah, no one designing eBikes really seems to get it: they’re either super stiff and useless or super saggy.
      Does it have adjustable air shocks though so it can be fixed or…?
      The Japanese motorcycle brands aren’t going to make this mistake when they finally commit to the US market.

    • @Timbodacious
      @Timbodacious Před 6 měsíci

      it didnt look like an air shock in a few of the review videos. im not sure if the air valves of an air shock would have clearance inside of that frame because they stick out at weird angles. if that bike already has a 200mm shock i dont think there are air shocks bigger than like 210mm, it might need a 225 spring shock squeezed in there.@@Smaug1

    I have been so tempted by this bike but I am not sure it will do as much off road as I want. I don't do anything crazy on my Surron, but I do like to take it in grass and dirt and hills. No jumping or anything.
    I also am a little put off by the fact I can't get the orange on the A1.
    I'm also a little worried about the advertising and weird pricing that keeps changing.

    It's almost a year and it's even worse. The battery plug pushed in so it can't be charged - I asked for help, they never return my emails.. I fixed it by removing the plug so I could pull it out. The back flap doesn't stay shut anymore, so I have to use tape, the front lap keeps getting loose regardless of how many times I tighten it, and all I hear while driving is rattling, and there's so much more. Far better bikes out there for the money.

  • @huge_balls
    @huge_balls Před 9 měsíci +1

    I think the soft horn problem could be solved by having a multistage button. Press softly for a soft horn to alert pedestrians, and press harder for a strong horn to alert cars.

    • @Smaug1
      @Smaug1 Před 6 měsíci

      Nah, mount a loud motorcycle horn and provide a simple bicycle bell separately for use on the multi-use paths.

    if they could fix that chaffing seat & gps tracker with on / off, and if you bring your key with you to reboot that battery in case of stalls, then it looks like it can be a decent bike after a v2 & fixes.

  • @cody735100
    @cody735100 Před 9 měsíci +2

    There’s also another downside to all of those decals that you mentioned. In terms of theft. All of those advertising details printed on the bike or essentially a shopping list. Especially the details about the battery because that is the main thing most ebikes get stolen for. so that the expensive batteries can be resold for parts. And this thing is essentially openly advertising that it uses some of the most expensive high capacity lithium ion battery cells to any passerby. Definitely not the best idea.

    Under worst case scenario, the range you will get on a A1 Pro is a very *solid 37 miles/59 kilometers* per full charge. 150 miles is too optimistic.

    • @LordDirus007
      @LordDirus007 Před 8 dny

      No, it's actually more of an Electric Scooter, it isn't powerful enough to be considered a Motorcycle. Top Speed is 35mph. It's zippy, but the acceleration isn't strong enough for normal road/traffic use. I keep my Async A1 Pro to the Bike Trails, and Residential Raods. Only if I absolutely have to, will I get into traffic on a 35mph Road. However I really don't like to, because I am more likely to get pulled over by a Cop.
      Honestly this Ebike, is everything a Person Needs in regular Spring/Summer transportation method.
      I had lost my Driver's License a couple years ago. I can get it back but with my Async Ebike, I just don't need it
