You are correct when it comes to warranty ! That means the manufacturer is confident in their product to give 5 years warranty !
I have a local dealer that handles this e-bike which makes it even sweeter !
Pedego's warranty is a JOKE! I bought an element 3 months ago, and today I'm going to pick it up from a Pedego repair shop. Since I couldn't bring it back to the Pedego store I bought it from, I'm being charged for labor to fix it. What was wrong? It was throttling itself. It actually accelerated itself inside the store when I was trying to explain the problem to the tech. It took us both to keep it from flying across the store. There's a wiring issue that required them removing the entire wiring harness and replacing it. It took them 7 hours. They're only billing me for 2 hours. If Pedego had any confidence, they'd be paying for this. After the bike was throttling itself, I question whether or not I even want to ride it. Is it even safe? I'm furious with Pedego. I guess it's in the fine print that you have to bring it back to the original purchase location, but that's not practical for me. I travel. I bought the bike in Northern Michigan, and I'm in Texas. I bought it with the assurance that I could get it serviced at any Pedego store, nationwide. That's true, but you have to pay.
I envy people who have electric bikes. I know I can’t afford one since a decent electric bike can start at $2,000.
Just bought this bike from my local pedego store. They didn't have the platinum in stock but the normal element they let me test ride felt pretty good. Hoping it lasts me a long time considering its hefty price tag.
Actually ended up changing my order to the boomerang platinum with knobbed tires to help with trails. It had a bigger battery and more comfort features the element didn't offer.
I'm not a huge fan of how the controller is in that bulbous frame integration area. In fact, I'm not a fan of fully enclosed controllers at all. I guess it's not prone to overheating but still.
Help, please?! I have a brand new Platinum Element and have only been able to remove the rechargeable battery once--and don't know how I did it successfully the first time. What am I doing wrong? For some reason, the key isn't inserting easily/at all.
I purchased this bike, (thanks for the review, and info!) I got the thud buster seat post to go with it, however, i dont care for it. Would you recommend using the kinekt XR seat post? I notice you mentioned it, yet didnt use it, on this review. Ive heard some say its a waste of $$ due to the fat tires absorbing a lot of the "shock" Appreciate any reply...🙋♂️

If you’re in Toronto,then you’re shit out of luck for warranty coverage because the store closed!!!! My platinum has a defective battery and now it’s been 2 weeks,and Pedego Canada says it should been settled by the end of the week!!! 3 weeks later.And for some greedy reason, I will be charged for labour!!! Really on a defective battery what labour is involved!!!
For 3 grand? Forget it, just buy an Ariel rider. It may not pedal well, but it has way more power and performance
at 12:50 "So, this is a traditional class 3 ebike..." This is not a class 3 ebike. Only class 2 ebikes can have throttles. Class 3 ebikes cannot have a throttle installed on the bike (even if the throttle is limited to 20 mph), despite manufacturers and reviewers trying to convince you otherwise (this was the only way the catagory was allowed to not come under NHTSA authority). (ETA: some class 3 bikes like the Vitilan appear to have "Class 3 legal" throttles that can only be activated for boost while pedaling).In the 20 mph throttle / 28 mph pedal assist mode, the bike technically should only be ridden off road on private land with permission. I know everybody turns a blind eye, on-one cares, there's no way to inforce this etc. but this blurring of definitions will cause problems in the form of increased regulation for the entire ebiking community based on much publisized incidents of those riding bikes that don't fit into the legal catagories.
On a positive note, this is a very thorough review of a bike I'd be temped to buy, albeit without having the dealer program it beyond class 2.
I don't think anyone would notice or care, though..
I made my 1st gen Pedego Element into a "Class 4" ebike. No cops ever bother me with it
@@PyroAnonymous So is this the kind of sport you feel comfortable participating in? It's illegal, but the police turn a blind eye (for now)? And you're fine with manufacturers claiming a bike is class 3 legal in your state when it really isn't?
@@FrancisBecka yes
Damn, you're wrong.
The three classes are defined as follows:
"Class 1: eBikes that are pedal-assist only, with no throttle, and have a maximum assisted speed of 20 mph.
Class 2: eBikes that also have a maximum speed of 20 mph, but are throttle-assisted.
Class 3: eBikes that are pedal-assist only, with no throttle, and a maximum assisted speed of 28 mph.
All classes limit the motor’s power to 1 horsepower (750W)."
Class 3 has a throttle limited to 20 mph max, and can be pedaled up to 28 mph. Do your research.
@@FrancisBeckait's "illegal"? Maybe where you are, but in many locations around the world ebikes are 100% legal. Apparently you're a bike snob who hates ebikes. Keep moving then, get educated, mind your business.
nope
