At a listed weight of only 79 LBS, this is the lightest long range 2880 watt-hour electric bike I've tried - and it can fold up into a small space when you're done riding. Competitors ebikes weigh over 110 LBS, which will significantly affect range especially for stop and go riding. Combined with relative light weight of this folding electric bike, the 3 levels of pedal assist are optimized in a way to deliver gentle power delivery which translates into maximizing mileage.
The icing on the cake is you can fold the ebike up and tuck it away into a small space at the end of the day, unlike the other 48v60ah battery electric bikes I've reviewed.
This very well may be the LONGEST Range Ebike That's Actually Good, now I just need to prepare myself for 8 hours in the saddle to actually test it.

I have owned this bike for two months The battery is crap I only charged it five times and now I’m getting 50 miles I emailed the company and I have not hear from them yet.
did you ever hear back from them?
I guess not@@Limitedonathios
This video is published out of order, hadn't even rode the Eahora Juliet yet. Comparisons made in this video are to the Aniioki AQ177 Pro.
With regards to the 79lb weight, I need to get this on the scale for an official weigh in. It definitely feels lighter than the 2 other 60ah ebikes I have reviewed.
In terms of distance, speed power and price, what if your top recommended ebike?
can it be pedal as normal bike without installing the battery
Did you ever find out if that was the official weight or not? Also did you ever find out if that empty tube will be able to use an extra battery?? How cool would that be?
Did you end up putting it on the scale? Does it weigh 79lbs or 91lbs?
This bike seems to be the full package! Full-suspension, 60Ah battery, folding, under 100lbs, and room for an additional battery is unheard of!
Except for the weird low speed cut out while climbing a very short but reasonable incline, "this bike seems to be the full package" of BS. And why no flip up seat to install the battery?
@@ccscomments757, Yes and left hand thumb throttle. also powerless stand wheelie. my point, need is torque, battery/range/miles, grocery mail gallon of gas getter.
pass on the "G". Go for a Wal key. see "tail's" happy review 6 weeks after this one. peace 12/25/23
@@ccscomments757i agree, lots of potential here but it doesn’t preform well at all!
Nice warning on that battery "Do not charge indoors or unattended." Confidence inspiring! I will take a much smaller UL certified battery over that time bomb.
Oh yeah, saw this and I’m out
You’re not kidding, I feel like every few days there’s a new “e-bike battery fire” video popping up online
If you have the knowledge to you can build your own battery good luck getting the casing because only a couple manufacturers sell it in China
Yes, I caught that, too. Have you seen the vids of e bike batteries exploding?
Oh yeah those chargers are loud asf also
NO GO on any bike that can't take 200 lbs up the 20% grade. Life has hills. I know a LOT of bikes fail this test, but I view it as pretty key. You should do a video on bikes that can hack hills!
I understand. I don't get how they claim 85nm. I ride 20lbs less at 70nm with just 18amps and with light pedaling gets up that grade over 20kmh. Urban/delivery bike needs acceleration torque.
Eh I have a cheap diy ebike and it can't do much on hill's but I just pedal on my last gear lightly and I can climb anything.
Depends what you paid for it.
Just put in 100 watts of your own pedal power and even the weaker motors can climb anything. It's not a motorcycle.
@@Asfanboy1 light pedaling is adding up to half your weight in KG as nm of torque. 30%+ hill grades are still very difficult when adding full weight or 1.5x weight as effort. But, yes usually pedaling fast at 10-15kmh manages to get up, far easier than on analog bike. Still good motor torque is essential to avoid extreme exertion.
@@pascalj4331 my biggest Hill around my place is 12% and it might do it if I put it at max assist.
I ride it at 30km/h and do 60km trip's all the time.
This bike would be perfect if it wasn't so small.
4:37 good on them for specifying the "Nuclear Payload". I've always wondered how much enriched Uranium I can carry on my e-bike.
😂
As a 6 month, 2000KM (1242 Miles) owner of a GFORCE T42 16AH bike.
It's awesome! Mine doesn't have a power cutoff, so it'll even turn back on, even after the motor cuts out (obviously, not doing that often). Hearing that the long range version drops out sounds like a battery/motor health measure
My t42 has 1000 miles. Never cutout. Components not the best but not the worst.
I sort of forgot it was a folding bike thinking about how many times it would go to town for groceries on one charge. Thanks. Another great review.
I’m looking into getting my first e-bike ever, how good has yours held up until now? Any issues or still running good, and any advice for me getting my first e-bike that I should know or consider?
@@JESUSISKINGOFKINGSLORDOFLORDS my Ariel Grizzly has a few hundred miles on it without an issue. The technology is simple and reliable!
You could stash your extra inner tube and tools in that hollowed frame. And a granola bar.
Or drugs
@@LMV123 😲😂
I really have had a good experience with commuting on my gforce t42. 1700kms so far no issues.
They should have put at least a 1000w motor on it to cover for the heavier battery.
Its a bit slow off the line and hill climbing wouldn't be fun.
I don’t really care about speed as long as the motor doesn’t burn up or the forks don’t break and the battery is not crap Unlike the stuff I’ve been hearing about the Anoki and this is the perfect pic.
hill climbing suck though
I went to the website and had a look. Something struck me; all of the different models have the same weight - 79lbs. Seems likely that is the weight *without* the battery. So not as great as it seems.
No thats with the battery
Nice bike and nice design, and that 60ah battery is no joke. I like how it comes with a 8.5amp charger, and full suspension is nice too. Just got my 20" fat tire Ebike, can't wait to drop my review soon. Although I am loving the range on this one already. Thanks man for sharing this good info with us.
let me know how it performes i had the gforce t7 for almost a month and i like the range
@ReviewsandTech, The charger 8.5 is HUGE. A Plus for the G Force, but I need my features to be on the bike in use rather than saving 2 - 3 hours charge time at home sleeping.
Hey man, I've been watching your videos for a while but only subscribed yesterday. Gforce is a really good brand, I got the double battery zm 8 months ago and it works really well.
Nice review! What is your favorite 20” bike? Hov beta at the top of my wish list so far. Is it fairly easy to add BMX style bars?
I always install my thumb throttles with the thumb accelerator part higher so when I push down my thumb is higher up at full throttle and doesn't get strained as much.
Great info Appreciate the comparisons with the mid-rear battery vs front battery long range versions. Thanks.
Excellent review sir
That is some impressive range, I wish it was AWD like my HANEVEAR. Other than that they look similar I am fixing to put a dual battery on mine maybe it will be comparable.. Time will tell. I did put a suspension seat post and it does make a world of difference. Thanks for the info on this bike 😀
Im thinking most if not all 20in fat tire bikes are not much fun to "bike" on without pedal assist. I have one and its fun to ride as long as the battery is charged. More an electric moped IMO. The fat tires do make for a nice ride at the expense of more rolling resistance and less maneuverability.
Of course they’re not fun to ride without pedal assist. They’re not meant to be used that way. Who would want to ride a stupendously heavy fatbike?
The pedal assist is what makes an electric bike an electric bike. That’s its raison d’être. The throttle is what makes it a moped. Those aren’t allowed here in Europe.
You have to do a 100 mile challenge on that!
Unfortunately, I feel like you might be right. Not looking super forward to another nine hour bike ride, but if this, and gets enough likes, I’ll see what I can squeeze out of it.
Def want to see you do a distance video on this one see how far itll go!
I just got the T7 yesterday first impressions. It is really good. There are some nip pics but so far it’s great.
I'm sorry, but imagining it coming with "nip" pics kinda cracked me up. Should come with a NSFW warning.
@@samach you can check my channel for my coverage of the bike so far
Your reviews are the best!!!! ♥️✨💜💥😊😊🥳
Digging the folding bikes!
Is there a spring in the frame lock latch? If so, it should be rotated a half a turn counter clockwise before latching the frame. The induce spring tension will automatically lock the latch upon closing.
Definitely a long range cruiser, and more balanced than the Aniioki. Seems underpowered though. When you have more power you tend to use the power in bursts rather than just holding it full throttle. My folder would use 28 watt hours per mile when I had a 35amp controller. Now I use 25 watt hours per mile when "hooning it", and that's with a 96 amp controller. I barely have to get on the throttle to get moving.
super helpful thank you
Thanks for the recommendation. Did you change any settings from stock?
I'd be interested in a long range review.
Great bike design. They don't market a 2nd "internal" battery option yet, but all ebikes should have 2, even if 99% of the time you only use 1. Just easier to always have a fully charged one on standby. A much lighter (under 7lb) internal battery will make the bike 65 lbs. Integrated rack makes it a great 400lb cargo bike. 2nd internal battery would make it awesome touring bike with 8a charger.
Yolin display definitely allows up to 9 PAS levels, and programable to full/custom power each level. Also battery bar levels are programmable. KD986 (or other KD) display are compatible and offer USB and voltage reading. It is cheaper (in NA) and should come standard on ebikes over the Yolin one. Yolin display has the advantage of those gigantic +/- buttons, but you can splice that into the KD986 if the Yolin ever cracks.
Yolin/KD display also allows setting an amp limit on controller. Maybe dropping 1 amp would eliminate that motor cutoff issue?
You are still testing pedaling wrong. Its not about whether the bike pedals at 0 assist. Its about how much power draw you can reduce at 20mph (or 10mph) steady speed by pedaling, so that you go further, and don't have to pedal a dead battery home.
I tried to change those settings and it still capped to 20 miles an hour when you pedal for some reason it’s something on the controller level they set up from the factory unless there’s some hidden hidden settings
If there is an amp limit setting, I cannot find it for the life of me. I tried going through all the settings and I cannot find a amp setting for pedal assist.
Holy smokes. A 8 amp charger?!
lithium battery fire anyone ?
@@leeinwisyou don't know a lot about batteries do you
Is it better than Aniioki? I’m a scooter guy but been thinking of an e-bike too. Good to see 60AH small one unlike the Aniioki that can fold
Nice review. Discount code did not work. WOULD be interested in a long range test. Folding ebikes are great. I ride a 500w Greenbike USA Fat tire Folding 20x4 and absolutely love it. Dual suspension is great. And taking the battery out prior to throwing in the trunk makes life much better. Bravo.
Would be nice with a 22-25 amp controller and 2-3 mph higher throttle. Maybe a 28 mph, no ghost pedal gearing.
Dude! Thank you for another fun review! - I'll definitely cross the T-7 right off my buy list, lol. Big battery or not, I use your 20% incline as my minimum for bikes i'd consider. Loved that Amped Rides Volt ST was it? Man that thing had the powah. - Anyway, your reviews; killing it as always. Thanks for another one.
Really happy you're including ease of pedaling, these are bikes not motorcycles and that's an important factor for anyone considering a power-assisted bike instead of a scooter.
I'd prefer you tried pedaling up that grade on your own, my discover One Rides exactly like a bike there is no difference just because I have motor
Fairly surprised they've set the motor to cut out on hills, that indicates this is a brush motor it's not necessary on brushless.
If I'm right that makes this bike a no-go period.
Yes,please do a long range video. Thanks
I got this exact e-bike and I did range test it did 91 miles throttle only and I was still at one bar
Thanks!
I’m looking to buy a foldable e-bike for my daughter. It will be use more for Highschool and next year at college. We live in Kennesaw, GA and yes we have some tough hills. We are looking for Class 2/3 e bike, something with good hydraulic brake system, motor power, 5-7 speeds transmission, be able to ride a min distance of 30 miles. I believe you can help me to sorting this out. We thought about the heyride, Gosen, Vitilan, Fido, GForce, Electic
Every video on your channel is making me jealous as heck, I wish I could have one! But I got a e-bike that goes 20 mph and has a maximum range of 43 miles, depending on speed and weight ofc. But I only payed 414 dollars for it at least!
Send link! I have the EBKAROCY 14” in mind! $500
So with the weight of the battery in back would the rear suspension bottom out more then? Those front rack mounting points are awesome.
Great review, glad that someone had Decided too put the battery mid ship. Still putting these huge batteries ( at least to the way I ride and the folks that ride with me ) is just
a bit crazy..
There's no turn signal in the rear brake light? As a potential DoorDasher weaving through city traffic, I'm going to keep looking. Thanks for all the thorough reviews and tours of Los Angeles! I would not have known about the issues of heavy front-mounted batteries if not for this review. I kinda had my heart set on the Eahora Juliet.
you could change the light but good luck they have a specfic connector so finding it will be hard
Can you please include in your description if the bike is UL rated?
At my work you can’t bring anything that is not rated.
You can’t charged it regardless
If you want to rent an apartment they ask if you going to charge electric bike or something
The gforce website claims "... Supplying 1300W peak power and 86 Nm of torque so you can easily tackle hills with up to 30 degrees of incline." Well, based on your test, it seemed to be challenged with a 20 degree garage ramp slope... hmmmm... buyer beware!
It's extremely underpowered I highly doubt the peak is anywhere near 1300w
Just started watching your channel, what do you do with all these Ebikes you review??
Does the charger fit in that empty battery tube?
I think the programing in what ever makes that motor stop receiving juice is protective but at the same time I feel you should just put a motor in it to take it. I mean you could program it to not put any power in it to go on flat pavement making the range to go forever but you will never use the motor. Extreme version of what is going on. lol
I'm sure you've been asked this a million times but what do you do with all these bikes after the reviews? Do you ever sell them? I only ask because this one caught my eye. :) Great reveiws.. love your channel.
Is that an FYI for everyone to check everything is screwed or bolted down tight, before riding out for the first time?
Shouldn't you have done this?
Crazy Thinking to match a 60 AMP battery with only a 750 Watt Motor? I think your two hill test demonstrate one potential pitfall of this design
which is not having enough power for sustained inclines where the grade could be only 10%. For some people who have bad knees or are carrying cargo
or just weigh over 200 lbs you might run into situation's where pedaling is mandatory before the motor cuts out. It's a shame they cut corners on the
750 Watt battery, if they could have given the 1000 Watt battery like the other two popular 60 AMP competitors, they would corner a niche end of the market
having the foldable design, it's definitely a risk to think 750 watt's is always going to be enough power, and remember the weight of apx 80 lbs is before you add the
27 lbs for the battery plus any rear cargo, so 750 Watts is definitely risky especially when the battery is drained down to under 50% and as we've seen in other E-bikes
the motor's performance can start to diminish when this happens. But for others who have been waiting for a very long range E-bike that folds regardless ,
this is a great option at 1700.00 and it's nice to know they gave good suspension and good brakes evidently.
that is not a battery but a motor problem , i have a 250 watts 13.2 amp hour tank that weighs 70+ pounds plus my 180 pounds, and i can go up hills of 10% like its nobody business. Also the watt rating is SUSTAINED Power.. peek power that can be maintained for quite a while is signifantly higher.
Oh my how terrible to think you might have to pedal a bit on a bike....
Great reviews. I was wondering if you could ask if you can use the second battery connection? I'm taking it would fit the 20AH pack from the T5.
Also, can you see if you can use the Aniioki or Eahora 60AH battery in it? I know you can't do the reverse because it doesn't have a pin connector but I know the Aniioki can discharge and charge using the same port/connector.
Also, what are the fully folded dimensions? I'd like to bring on Amtrak and it says within 34" x 15" x 48".
Thank you!
I reached out to support and they said they use the same frame as the T5 and I looked, and there is a prongs that you can put in another battery, but they said the wiring is different so you can’t fit a second battery that’s what they claim
Looks like a great all round bike, i'd say the motor might be alittle under powered, i live in a fairly hilly area so that alone would put me off, also, didnt see in you mentioned if the bike had regen or not
Also want to know
good review
Wondering what the LxWxH dimensions are for that battery. Doubt it would fit my ebike with a flip up seat (and would likely need a different controller as well).
the battery dimentions are 18'' * 6.7'' * 4.3''
That is the same frame ENGWE uses on the ENGINE X and Pro models, and yes the battery goes inside the frame where those prongs were
Right but would this bike actually take a battery and work? If so, that could give the rider a choice of having a lighter-weight set up if they wanted. OR even a dual battery setup (which sounds redundant for this bike lol)
what do you think of amazons wheelspeed fat bike? its 800 usd where i live and i get its not the best bike but is it a good deal? any help would be great
Very nice e bike
check out the Dokma d-nova. looks neat
you can definitely put one more battery inside the frame
Any bike recommendations for a 5”11 320lb guy?
would love to see long range on this bike.
Does this thing have a folding mechanism where I can take it on trains? I'm not concerned about the weight.
I've gone there 25 plus years. You got a lot of free stuff. Secondly some throw bunk acid or other stuff on free stuff. Those seemed legit. Maybe not the guys in the truckn ❤😂🎉
Have you evaluated or heard anything about the walfisk motorcycle looking ebike...really cool looking
I think they’re afraid to send me one because they are overpromising
110 mile throttle 130 pas what the range mode u get with this ebike gforce t7
Hey bro can you give a link to that cool bendy suspension seat post you showed at 27:20
Im seriously wondering if that middle empty tube can actually use a real battery, given that it has the connections. If that were the case (and i really hope someone can verify this for me) then that would give you the option to have a way lighter-weight setup, when you're not in the mood for the BIG battery. And then if i had to guess, you might even get a performance bump as well. And you could also even do a dual battery set up for those long weekend rides maybe lol
Both coupon codes are not working. Do you have another one, please?
Can you review Ristretto 512??
Now I am on the fence... I was interested in the Wired Freedom. The bike will be my main transportation to a job 9 miles away. If it rains and I need an Uber, getting a ride with a bike would be harder or more expensive. I think a folding fat tire would be great. Thanks for posting this
I just ordered a Lectric 3.0. That might be a good option for you.
@@dalefrolander3583 I was also looking into that brand. Thanks for the info!
You might want to make sure it will actually fit into the trunk of a compact car if that's the case. Folding bikes aren't all that compact when they're folded.
Do the new 2024 wired freedom bike
I recommended this ebike and your channel to someone on Reddit (/Ebikes) and I tried your coupon code and it DIDn't seem to come up on the cart price. Could it be because the bike is already on sale for $1,999 after $200 off it's usual retail price? It seemed strange because I told him it was almost $500 off usual retail price with sale and coupon code. Just thught you should know. about your coupon code not working.
Here's a question... After 5 years when the battery is wore out how much does a new battery cost
This seems like a lectric XP with a huge battery
Hell yeah Matt 🤙🤙🤙😎👍✊✊✊
What's the need speed?
Weight of bike without battery. I'd definitely pull the battery to load etc
Can you drive this on the free way? Im curious as a South African
As a mini 60kg dude of just over 5ft I read lightweight and expected to see 20kg or less, my search continues..
Is this bike available in the UK?
What about support? Do they have a phone number? Do they respond to emails in a timely manner?
These are the things I want to know from a review yet no one does it.
I just bought the Tesgo Thunder M. Similar design but with mag wheels. Not many reviews so I do not know if it cuts out, hopefully not. I want it for range not speed. It's a bicycle,you speedsters won't be happy until they ban us from all trails because you can't just GO BUY A MOPED OR MOTORCYCLE. Or stay off bike paths.
How is the tesgo thunder for you so far?
Was wondering also how's Tesgo Thunder? Top pick so far
It’d never take my hills in Alabama.. like it besides that. What would you recommend for distance, speed and 70 yrs old, but athletic (try to be😂).
There is no perfect e bike that will satisfy every single itch. You can get a decent e bike that will do mostly what you need it to do, but some compromises will have to be made. You mentioned "distance". Well, the bike in this video will satisfy that need. But if you need to consistently climb hills, do NOT buy this bike. You can find a much better hill climber. Mid-motor bikes with 1000 W motors climb most hills well, and they are zippier, but there are down sides to mid motors, one being, more maintenance and pricier. Just as an example. I would say that if at all possible, test ride many of these bikes at bike shops that sell them. It's a better bet than ordering one online. Same with helmets. Try on several. Don't just order one online. Good luck finding the right bike for you. It's out there.
@@watchmanonthewall14 Thanks for the heads up!😎🚴🏻♀️
If u had to pick the wallke h6 max or GForce t7
Why not the aniioki a8 pro 52v VS GFORCW T7 😊😊😊😊
I think they need to increase the torque on this and make it at least a 52V version and 1000W and then it will be more competitive in the long range ebike market.
I see this bike caters to the people that don’t want that speed but still a lot long range
26lbs for a 60ah battery seems too light; I know for a fact 20ah batteries weigh over 10 on average. Probably using a cheap Chinese pack. It may be a combination of iffy batteries combined with a weak motor that makes it kind of work though. That hill test failure makes this a hard no for me. But as always, a good review!
300 off the price of??? Thanks
Thats awesome. I always wanted to carry a nuclear payload on my bike, although the air force may have questions.
Bam!
I like in Vegas and we have hills everywhere and that ebike seems like weak sauce 😂
Has anyone actually tested the range on this thing? (Full throttle and PAS)
I like the design of the original T42 but that massive battery is rough on the eyes
Could paint it black.
@@daveallen63 they should sell it painted black
@@DeathProofXXX I agree, just saying.
When I got mine, the battery was black I guess the one he reviewed was a preproduction model
Did the discount code expire because it is working, either of the 2 codes?
Not working here because they are on sale.
How long before power comes back on after cutting off?
Immediately
With the weight of the battery it should be at least a 1200w peak not just 1000w.
The Charger sounds like a leaf blower .. Or like it could inflate a kids birthday rental bounce castle. 🤔
can someone please tell me what "nuclear payload" means exactly in this context? im a big guy just trying to find the ebike i can ride
I think the total pounds is 450 if you’re 150 you can carry 300 pounds in the back if you are 200 you can carry 250 pounds
xlr connector for high amp ;-)
