This ebike is really great and hard to believe it retails for only $1,700! I love how it handles on and off road. Really nice to ride off road with the dual suspension.

What am I looking at?
they are crooks, you will lose money with them! They will scam you!
@@thomasangelo1947 yep - wankers
@@thomasangelo1947 my wife is doing a video on how shitty they are for after sales - they are gonna lose some sales
I have this bike in black. I love it, and have rode over 2000 miles.
wow! thats awesome. 2k miles is impressive.
I was about to fork over 2700 for a juiced bike for the 70+mi ramge and here is this one for 1k less.. what a hidden gem
I agree!
Great video and review. Going to be ordering one of these. I couldn't see dropping 6k on a Rambo or Quietkat. Thank you.
Love my Bee Cool Adventurer and my wife has the Pathfinder step thru. Both arrived with no issues. Had them since last summer. 1300 miles on both and no issues. Just waiting for winter to be over.
Why wait for winter to be over? This bike is very stable on ice at full speed. Handles many snow conditions up to 2". I use my bike all winter and when the snows too deep i ride the snowmobile.
I just turned over 1200 miles in 6 months on my beecool adventurer. And yes have had great adventures.
Nice review and i would like to add comment. I commute to and from work daily 8 miles round trip. My average speed is 22-23 mph. Top end is 26. I do run lower pressure tires for comfort and traction. With my short trips i have yet to drop the battery level more than 2 bars. That small led headlight projects super bright i give it a both thumbs up! and it has a definative top cutoff line so it can be adjusted as to not blind traffic albeit wimpy taillight and blinkers. The frame itself is sturdy and super clean welds. The offset battery does not detract from comfort nor performace. The seat is comfortable and easily adjustable. The suspension has serious issues however front forks are not stable for side to side flex along with the rear suspension. Together the whole bike tends to wobble side to side dangerously under certain conditions to a concerning level. The rear shock is not adjustable and is set for what seems to be 1000lbs. I have yet managed to compress the rear suspension even 1mm as if rear suspension is non existent. Your rear rack appears to have been bent in shipment. Mine was straight. The wimpy frame of the rack severed just above both upper mounting bolts and also adds to bike wobble with any weight upon it. As for mis- aligned fenders easy fix is to bend the supporting rods along the side to a position that aligns the fender properly. My kickstand was severed at the pivot bolt, was unrepairable, and caused extreme difficulty in parking the bike. Beecool however expediently replaced it under warranty. They only asked for pictures of the broken part. Kudos beecool! Yes walk mode is basically run mode. Pedal assist has a consistant delay of 2 seconds of pedaling before engagement but ceases power quickly (under 1/2 sec) after ceasing pedaling. Shimano shifter is easy to control however tends to misalign and starts jumping gear position between 4th and 5th gear. Horn is behind the light but tends to dampen output level after soaking. 21amp hour battery is consistantly powerful. However had a code 6 error once and complete power loss condition. Pedalling strictly manually is a beast kind of like pedalling a truck. This bike is completely impractical as a pedal bike. Back to error code issue... after pedaling the beast the last mile home i completely exposed all the wiring to find connections that were insulated primitively with electrical tape. This was not the problem. So i opened the battery removed the connector and found an underpowered fuse of 30 amps had not blown but the legs of the fuse had overheated and melted the fuse housing to the point of failure. I replaced the fuse housing and with the proper 45 amp fuse had no further issue. Finely stitched and ergonomically formed handgrips give the bike good comfortable control. Brakes have power cutoff switch practical but when frozen in cold temperatures tends to continue cutting off power after applying the brakes. The hydraulic disc brakes are a plus for easy positive braking. The rear caliper bracket however is misaligned and positions pads with only 1/2 contact to the disc. The only remedy is to grind down the caliper mount to a level that lines the pads with the disc. This causes excessive wear using only 1/2 the pad. This bike has good low end torque for its rear hub 750 watt motor. The display has shown up to 960 watt output on numerous occasions. As for pedal assist i found it very useful for automatically cruising at different set speeds almost like cruise control. When i am not in a hurry but just want to cruise relaxed i noticed extreme power usage savings at between 200-300watts in 3rd gear still moving along at 15mph. With level 1 i can creep along trails at 5mph from 50 to 150w usage similar speed of "walk (run) mode". I am adding weatherproof ammo boxes as rear saddlebags one of which will hold my two 10amp aftermarket lion batteries switched through a 1,2,both switch. As for the wimpy blinkers i will draw from those circuits two sided led blinkers off the end of the handlebars for better vision. You can even install a beeper on the blinker circuit for audible confirmation. I pull a bike trailer for my 2 chihuahuas everywhere, i have a 20a 48v-12v buck converter to power a heated blanket inside the trailer for the dogs 🐕 🐕. I have considered placing a heated wrap around the battery for long trips in subzero weather. Blinkers, brake, and running lights will also be installed on the bike trailer thru a waterproof multi connector. I have 2 150watt bluetooth self powered speakers with subwoofers mounted on right and left of the rack which operate on right and left channel respectively to which music can be heard clearly at 1/2 mile with a phone mount on the handle bars. The display has a hidden usb power point to charge your phone while power is on. I bought a second 21a battery from beecool for $600 and a 30a charger for faster charging. I.e. complete charge in around 2 hours instead of 6 hours with the supplied 20a charger. Note: tips to aid in extending battery life, allow the battery to 'rest' for an hour before charging and leave the battery partially discharged when not in use. My 2nd battery fits perfectly for storage in the bike trailer when needed. For my offgrid home power system i just got 8-300w solar panels (2400w) thru a 60a solar controller for quick efficient charging of the bike from the sun 🌞. Overall this bike has changed my life, has brought me great pleasure, saves me all the expense of owning/operating and fuelling a vehicle, and connected me with nature in a more intimate level. I have ceased driving completely and am using this bike all year in all but deep snow weather conditions. I keep the bike in a heated environment in winter to avoid freezing cables, electronic components and most importantly lion batterys. I am confident on ice and run full speed. I am looking into studded winter tires and tube protectors for safety and durability. Overall for the price and manageable issues this bike is worth the value but would not buy this model again because of the incurable suspension wobble condition. I would recommend a bike with no rear suspension, a seat with suspension, and a full length front fork that affixes above and below fork tube.
Hope this detail helps - enjoy 😉
Awesome review man. I feel pretty good about the purchase after reading yours for what I’ll be doing
My BeeCool Explorer arrived a few days ago, less than 3 weeks after I ordered it after the New Year. I've already changed out the stock low mountain bike handlebars, with 5 inch high rise bars, changed out the long handlebar stem that forced me to reach way out for the bars to a real short stem. Yesterday, I ordered a 2.7 inch fork tube riser adapter. I want to be sitting up as straight up as possible, shifting my weight rearward, while getting the full use of the rear suspension. Not bottoming out the front forks as much.
If you watch the video the rear shock does not give much at all.. And remember if you don't like it you have to pay $200 shipping return.. I talked to them live on the phone they do not cover their own mistakes.
@@z4u68 I weigh around 200lbs. have been riding M/C's for 55 years, presently ride a KLR650 on the trails and a Harley Electra Glide on road trips. I have about 200 miles now on my BeeCool Explorer and I think the rear shock and suspension are set up perfectly. Not too stiff at all. Believe me, they only soften up with age.
@@65supersonic93 I'm sorry, I'm at a loss as to where I bought the handlebars from. Get a Micrometer and measure the diameter in millimeters of your stock bars in the center and at bar ends. Then measure from end to end in inches, (should be about 25 inches) and just search "e-bike handlebars", they are different than regular bicycle handlebars.
I know they are different style of E-bikes, but which bike do you enjoy more, this one or the Ariel Rider X-class? How are they in terms of ride style and versatility? Thank you!
Cities need to do more to encourage people to ride bicycles. Safe protected bike lanes and traails are needed so adults and children can ride safely. Speak up for bicycles in your community.
couldn't agree more!
my bee cool explorer tops out around 24 mph flat paved ground no wind. I weigh 230. My xp tops out at 28mph and aventure at 32 mph. Wattage display shows around 500 watts constant and peaked around 750 watts . They advertise 750/1000 motor. I am going back and forth with Bee Cool about this discrepancy. Breaks are great and full suspension rides real nice.
Wait for real? It’s not a 750W with 1000W peak?
@@red0death1 now I'm wondering too.
The controller is said to be a 22A. Which would make me believe it's good for 1000w. It could be that the computer just needs to be speed or amperage unlocked to allow the controller to go to it's over current shutoff of 22A.
I ordered an Adventurer on Nov. 4th. Whenever I get it, I'll test the true current feed to the motor from the controller at the sag voltage and come back with a max wattage draw I get to shutoff on a steep incline and an RMS VA.
@@robcoastalga8279 I'm waiting for mine as well and am getting a little impatient as it was suppose to ship late November so I figured I could get some riding done before it gets really cold in the upper midwest.
@@OurGreedyCorruptGovt when did you order? I've checked that stupid site every day. I emailed them this past Saturday and said it is obvious to me and probably many others that y'all have made major updates to your site with the including of 5 new models of ebike, changed the entire look, changed the front page and sale information multiple times but haven't updated the most simple and arguably most important portion, the expected ship dates. I'd think it would go without saying that the customers of over 1000 bikes sold in the past 45 days would be a priority. I don't expect a promissory note of shipment on X date, but the expected ship date has come and gone with no change. Not to mention that like pre Oct 15th orders have said "shipping labels created, shipping soon" since I purchased 40 days ago.
If you go to the the adventurer page, it said expected to ship end of December until they changed it today I believe to say mid December. Makes me wonder if they bullshit everyone. I spoke to a guy on Facebook that ordered July 2nd and got his late September.
@@robcoastalga8279 Hey Rob, I believe I ordered mine 11/14. Anyway, I'm sure these bikes are coming from somewhere in Asia and with that said they could be part of the shipping bottleneck? It would be nice if they were more transparent on their website about the shipping dates since they obviously either don't know for sure when they are shipping or know that if they did say it's going to be a longer wait that they'll lose sales. I still like the prospects of the Adventurer being a great bike for the price even compared to their newer models with the color screens (don't think that's a deal breaker). Hopefully we get these by the middle of December, but it doesn't look promising.
I just purchased the green couple hours ago. Stepping up from a 250w ancheer regular mountain bike. I fish all over my town with the bike I have now, and I'll be going slot farther and faster now.
Thank Jesus Christ for such beautiful experiences Jesus Christ who said follow me and I will make you Fishers of man
I ordered one yesterday for a fishing bike as well. How long did it take for the bike to be delivered after you ordered it?
What’s the range throttle only?
Wow just bought one couldn't pass on this bike.
I'll likely place an order once the price is back down
you mentioned wanting to tow your camp gear. have you tried towing something with it and how much can it tow?
1200 miles on my adventurer now and pulled my trailer with 300lbs with no problem. Barely detected change with the weight.
I want one! But I just bought another and sadly, no more cash.
Love the integrated lights and turn signals.
EVery Ebike manufacturer should add them..
Yes I agree! very inexpensive to add but makes for a safer ride.
Sorry if I missed it in the video, but is the suspension adjustable? I've read elsewhere that you can lock out the front suspension but not the rear. Is this correct? I'm 6'2" and weigh 235 lbs. Am I going to bottom out the suspension immediately or can it be adjusted to someone my weight?
I can't get my bike to go past 25 mph and I weigh 220lbs....is their a program I haven't been told about
When you almost stalled out we’re you in a lower gear?
Primarily wondering if the bike would be good carrying a heavy load uphill at slower speeds.
Does it have walk assist?
It has a walk mode that goes about 5 mph.
Yes the 1st pedal assist mode could perform that task
The walk mode also acts as a cruise control. Use throttle to obtain the speed you want a d then press the down button until walk appears on the screen. More throttle or touching the brakes turns off the cruise control.
@@MotorizedBicycleRace it'll go slower up a steep hill.... Like steep enough to cause over current shutoff right?
is installing a dropper post possible on this bike?
Yes
Since u or the website doesn't mention anything about the brakes, are these mechanical disc brakes?
They are hydraulic disc brakes.
Hello! How does the power of this bike compare to the Aventure? Since the latter peaks at 1,100 watts. How about speed for both of them? Is the Aventure faster?
I would say they are about the same. During my testing I was only able to get the 750w motor to peak at 850w.
All Electric is not correct. my bee cool tops out at 24 to 25. Wattage display shows it is a 500/750 motor. My Aventon Aventure tops out at 32 mph. But Aventon CS sucks. See Remarks above
If you unlock the BeeCool to 22 amps in the hidden settings I can get 28 mph on mine with throttle only. I have done this and have seen ip peek at about 950 Watts.
i want this bike to hunt with. can you reccomend a trailer? think it would do good? im guessing not gonna get 32 miles but even if its can pull a 150lb deer 10 miles its gonna be awesome.
Plenty of great trailers out there to give a try. I don’t have a specific one
Het Dustin, did you end up getting one? How do you like it? I'm looking for a hunting bike that isn't $3-5K
@@JohnSims3 nope. Never did
All I needed to do is read a few issues with warranty
Does anyone know if they can be shipped to Canada?
I believe they are in Canada.
I just bought this bike! The buying process was a little weird, had me go thru a different company for purchase? Not sure if that’s common/normal but seems legit? I’m hoping it gets here fast!
Ordered mine yesterday. How long did it take you to get yours? Thanks
Which one you prefer the Aventon or this one?
Hard to say as both offer different qualities. This is a full suspension Aventon's not. So if you are going to be in the back country/ off road mostly I would go with this one.
Is it good on hills? I am torn between the Magicylce Deer and this bike….
Yes, plenty of power for hills
@@ALLElectricChannel I’d go for it if there wasn’t so many negative reviews about customer service……🤔
On the fence between this one and the Aventon adventure.
We were on the fence too. But finally thinned the list and Bee cool was what we picked. Hopefully we have better results then some!
What about in the snow?
deflate the tires a bit to get more traction and you'll be good...
Bicycles, ebikes, electric cargo bicycles, robo taxis and escooters are great options for last mile, short distance travel.
Cities need to do more to encourage people to ride bicycles by providing SAFE, PROTECTED BIKE LANES and trails. Every adult and child should own a bicycle and ride it regularly. Bicycles are healthy exercise and fossil fuels free transportation. Electric bicycles are bringing many older adults back to cycling. Ride to work, ride to school or ride for fun. Children should be able to ride a bicycle to school without having to dodge cars and trucks. Separated and protected bike lanes are required. It will also make the roads safer for automobile drivers. Transportation planners and elected officials need to encourage people to walk, bike and take public transportation. Healthy exercise and fossil fuels free transportation. In the future cities will be redesigned for people not cars. Crazy big parking lots will be transformed.
Good luck if you have any problems after you get the bike whether it be warranty or damaged in shipping. THEY WILL DENY ALL CLAIMS…
They either tell you “it’s supposed to be that way OR give a half assed answer that you should fix it.
I bought the adventure bike, I will say it’s a decent bike but if you have any problems with it at all (and you will likely have at least something wrong) they will not stand behind their product. I do like my bike but just for the sole reason of their customer service I wish I did go with a different brand now. Buyer beware.
The problems I had with mine were two bent rotors that I replaced out of my own pocket and when looking at the gears on the back of my bike you can see them swaying side to side as the tire was turning so there’s obviously something else wrong there as well. Their response to the rotor was to take the rotor off and pry with pliers to try to straighten it and that the rear gears looked normal…. mind you I have another e_bike and the rear gears do not do that.
I’m pretty sure they source their response to emails through another company and they’re just told to deny everything. Look them up on the Better Business Bureau, you’ll see the other Customers that have had problems too. Good luck, God bless.
yep - we had 3 major issues and we ended up paying for the repairs ourselves - 2 years warranty my arse
shame they dont make a mid drive bike
WARNING: Love the bike, but after 4 months it's apparent that BEECOOL does NOT honor their warranty. still waiting on a plastic battery end cap that was ordered 4 months ago.
I’ve been using a BC Adventurer for a year. The suspension is bad, the electronics are not dependable. Mine started burning at the battery frame connectors. BeeCool customer service is terrible. But ,… it’s cheap. Get what you pay for. I wouldn’t take it for a ride any further than you can peddle this beast back. This company is not service oriented at all. Their attentions are to first time sales to folks that don’t really use them.
Heard customer support really sucks
it really does - awful
Be careful buying from BeeCool bikes. It took them 6 more week than anticipated to deliver a bike that also turned out to be defective. They neither honor their warranty, return period and want a 'down payment' in order to send you replacement parts - so you can fix the damages yourself (!).
Know a guy it came defective and they wont fix it!
The guy reviewing this bike must have got paid off their customer service is horrible they are just a broker they don't have Parts on hand they have to order them from China it takes forever
They are thieves! I paid for the bike and never received it!
@@thomasangelo1947 oh that would have my blood boiling
My sister has one and it came in about 1 1/2 weeks, pearl white.. Everything has worked flawlessly. We are waiting for the extra battery and trailer. I have an Enduro e mountain bike with Fox suspension, mid motor and 730 watt battery. They are different bikes but for commuting the BeeCool is pretty awesome. Especially since my bike was $6000+ and hers was $1700.
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.
no name parts
Delivery is extremely slow! If you want this bike soon, you will not get it!
Got mine in 17 days. I am on the east coast. Showed up a day sooner than the original delivery date so it was not that bad. I would imagine if you live on the west coast the shipping time would be faster.
The explorer model is on back order Again. Late May has become early June. I called to confirm the date before I placed my order and was assured that it would be in by the end of May
June 6th 2022 and still waiting for them to arrive at the warehouse . Shipping is a hot mess Everywhere right now, so I am trying to Bee Cool about it. Best bang for the buck it does appear. Cheers !
Biggest piece of shit bike electrical nightmare back wheel flys off breaks suck
