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 seems 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! (It came a day early! I'm headed upstairs to put it together right after dinner!)
I got mine today. Video was helpful only issue i had was the basket. I had to bend the front left bar to line it up with the screw below the seat. But I finished it. Rode it. It was awesome! I'm 5'11, 270lbs and this bad boy can move. Thought it would struggle but it flew. I love it. Super comfy. Ah, i did take the seat from my Sikk fat tire bike for some j in the t support. 🙂
Only the rear wheel motor can work on PAS, and the front wheel motor cable can be unplugged when using the throttle so that only the rear motor can work.
We are putting this bike together now and are stuck on the front wheel installation. The axle is not “dropping” into the forks. We’ve done everything correctly but it seems like the forks aren’t wide enough or spaced far enough apart for the size of the axle. Any insight?
I had to pry the forks apart and it fell right in. You have to be careful though. That front wheel was hard as heck to put in. Whats really funny is I had the forks backwards and had to take it back off to spin the forks.
I had the same problem and had to stretch the fork open just enough for the axle to drop in place then it was fine. I also noticed after that the rotor was up against one side of the inside of the brake caliber instead of sitting center like the back tire rotor does inside the caliber but didn't see any way to adjust although the bike front tire seems to still spin just fine.
@@reviewittv1802 I ended up using a washer of my own to act as a spacer, that way the disk brake was in the center of the brake pads. You can also adjust this with the nut next to the handle bar brake handles.
Now i Just need a video on how to transplant everything to a new frame after owning the bike for a week, someone stopped in the middle of a bike path in their car and I ended up smashing in their fender and faceplanting their hood. Frames bent so bad the front tire is rubbing it. T_T
Hi, for some reason the speedometer on my bike is broken it only goes up to about 14 kmh and and it only works when i use the throttle. It there any way to reset it or anything? i think that could work. Thanks
It seems like laws are constantly changing on ebikes. Can anyone tell me if this ebike is legal in Illinois? If it is, I will buy one. I have looked at the law and it seems very "grey". Could be interpreted in different ways. What is clear is "750W" and under and 3 different classifications. Nothing about 750W and over. Looking forward to a response. Thank you
Hi.Please check whether P08 is set correctly. P08 should be 56 or the default value is 100. If the speed limit still cannot be removed, please refer to the method in the video.
They need to have parts somewhere in the USA. My bike came with a busted led screen. Now I'm waiting for the new one to come from China by way of who the hell knows.
@@brenbren9551 Hi, parts don't need to be replaced frequently. If any parts are damaged or seriously worn, you can contact the customer for replacement.
All of the steps are easy. If it looks like too much for you then post a message on a local facebook group for someone willing to help or take it to a bike shop. 👍
@@freegee3503 This is a good idea. If anyone needs this service, please tell me. We have customers in Nebraska who are willing to provide test drives or maintenance.
I ordered two last week. They're on the way.

Great bike for the price. Comes mostly assembled.
Hi how do you keep the rear wheel from coming loose while riding up hills
Can the seat be removed leaving the post to allow a wider seat ?
Well made and works well.
Thanks 😀
Can you select one motor at a time or is it all wheel drive all the time? Who manufactures the motors?
Only the rear wheel motor can work on PAS, and the front wheel motor cable can be unplugged when using the throttle so that only the rear motor can work.
Looks like a nice bike. Looks to be comparable in size to my Ecotric Cheetah fat tire bike.
Maybe you can try one🤔www.philodobikes.com
I know you love the bike

I have the same issue myself. Came here to see if anyone had the same problem. Did you pry the forks apart like the person that replied suggested?

Yeah I can never really get a clear response myself. I'd say the only way to know for sure would be to ask an actual cop or go to the police station
hey im buying this bike today how do i remove 25kph restriction?
Hi.Please check whether P08 is set correctly. P08 should be 56 or the default value is 100. If the speed limit still cannot be removed, please refer to the method in the video.

Hi. The parts were sent from China. If you need after-sales support, you can contact customer service.
If you sell bikes in the USA please have parts availability here not fn China.
@@bob5098 ok. We have already done so. We put some parts that need to be replaced frequently in the USA.

The instructions and video are not very helpful. The tools also are cheap and break before you finish putting it together
