Electric Bike for Adults, 26'' 1000W Peak Ebike, Up to 50 Miles 21.7MPH Electric Mountain Bike with 48V 374.4WH Removable Battery, Adjustable Stem, Fenders, Lockable Suspension Fork, 21-Speed

The ebike didn’t arrive fully assembled, and I had to install a few parts. It wasn’t challenging, but I made some errors, like installing the front wheel on the wrong side. I noticed that the braking cable crossed the handle post, so I had to dismount and remount it correctly with the front wheel brake and the braking cable on the same side. I also installed the front light and fender incorrectly. I missed where the manual said to install it all in one place in front of the holding mount, and I ended up placing the light in front and the fender at the back of it. I later realized this mistake. Additionally, the bike comes with a front and rear reflector, as well as one on each wheel, but it doesn’t have a rear light. I installed one myself to increase visibility.Further, I tested the front light as instructed by the user manual. To do so, I had to turn on the ebike, but the manual doesn’t mention how to do that at the point of installation. Yes, there is a red switch on the battery, but it took me a few minutes to figure out that I had to press and hold the power button on the LCD display as well. The manual should at least mention where to find the instructions on how to turn the ebike on or mention this early in the assembly section, not 5 pages further in on page 15 under Display Controls. Still, I managed to complete the setup of the bike after these minor hurdles. The bike includes front and rear disc brakes, 26-inch wheels, a locking front shock absorber, and a headlight. It weighs 49.6 lb, according to the manual. Despite its weight, I can reach over 21 mph in less than 10 seconds.Afterward, I wanted to charge the battery but saw that it was almost fully charged, so it took me less than one hour to fully charge it. The LCD Display, in my opinion, functions like a bike computer, providing quite a lot of information. I can see the odometer, voltage data of the battery, the distance of a single trip, battery status, and assist level, which is the current power assist level. To increase the pedal assist level, I press the plus button, and to decrease it, I press the minus button. I can toggle between the odometer, trip distance, and voltage by short-pressing the power button. It’s from the LCD Display that I can also turn the headlight on and off and sound the horn, which is quite similar to a car horn. I can even adjust the brightness of the backlight and set the bike to turn off automatically after a certain period of inactivity, ranging from 0 minutes (meaning it stays on continuously) to 60 minutes. I can also reset the odometer.After learning all these controls, I got familiar with the ebike's five riding modes: Bicycle Mode, Pedal Assist Mode, Throttle Mode, Cruise Mode, and Booster Mode. In Bicycle Mode, I can pedal the bike normally without turning on the LCD display - it’s equal to riding a regular bike. In Pedal Assist Mode, the motor provides extra power as I pedal. I can choose from five levels of pedal assist, depending on how much assistance I want, and the bike always starts at level 0 to avoid any accidents that might occur if I accidentally twist the throttle. To use Throttle Mode, I turn on the LCD display and select a level. Then, I just twist the throttle to control my speed without pedaling. If I want to maintain a steady speed, I press and hold the minus button when I’m going faster than 6.2 mph. When the display flashes the P icon, Cruise Mode is on, and the bike will maintain that speed. However, if I twist the throttle or apply the brakes, Cruise Mode automatically turns off. Booster Mode allows the bike to move at a speed of no more than 4.2 mph when I activate it by long-pressing the minus button. The display will show the P icon again, and like with Cruise Mode, Booster Mode turns off if I squeeze the brake.I quickly realized how much the ebike improves my daily commute. I use it to avoid public transit since I can easily reach my workplace by riding through safe residential streets and roads. My commute is now less hectic than dealing with crowded or late buses. Riding the ebike also saves me money. I no longer need to spend on public transport, and when compared to driving, I save on gas as well. I don’t miss the stress of finding parking or sitting in traffic jams, either. Plus, the ebike gives me a bit of exercise without overexerting myself. I find that using Pedal Assist Mode lets me control how much effort I want to put in.I always use the bike for short trips. I’ve started using it for running errands, like quick grocery trips or visiting downtown. It's a relief I don't have to worry about traffic or parking. When I’m riding on longer, uninterrupted stretches of road, I often switch to Cruise Mode. It keeps my speed steady, and I can relax without constantly having to adjust the throttle or pedals. In my experience, the ebike is intuitive to use.Nonetheless, there’s a bit of routine maintenance that I do to keep the bike running safely, particularly with the battery. I charge it after each ride fully, although it rarely drains completely since I’m not using the motor at full power all the time. I noticed it charges quickly. Most of the time, the battery reaches full charge in a few hours. Additionally, once a month, I discharge the battery completely before recharging it, as instructed by the manual. I hope this maintenance step prolongs the battery’s life and keeps it working optimally on every ride. So far, two months have passed, and I haven't experienced any issue while riding.

I’ve just hit 50 miles on the odometer, and gotta say I’m very confident with this bike. I’m 6’1” and 200lb, and it has no problem speeding up to 21mph and is very comfortable. Pedal assist works but kinda hits with a jolt, I mostly use it as a means to boost speed when coasting.All of the components are definitely on the lower end of MTB parts, but are name brand. I wouldn’t recommend buying this unless you feel comfortable doing basic mechanic work.So this is my first electric bike, but I’m going to apply the same logic that goes into buying your first dirt bike, 3D printer, or really anything this has a learning curve. Buy something that comes out of the box needing to be tinkered with, it’ll expose gaps in your knowledge and force you to learn new skills. This bike seems to be perfect for that. Out of the box the brakes had slight issues, the tires probably need to be trued, and energy management to solely down to the user. Everything in the box has the potential to work flawlessly but it’s on you to make that happen. If you want a bike that is 100% out the box look elsewhere, if you actually want to know how the bike works and how to improve it this is perfect for you.Also, I will note that I haven’t been able to unlock the governor using P08 like you can with other bikes. The option is missing from the controller, but honestly for my area I don’t need it.For the price you really can’t go wrong, all the issues I’ve had can be fixed easily by watching a couple YouTube videos. I’m not great at writing reviews, but I’m extremely confident with this bike, been commuting to work on it for a week, have taken it on a long ride, and have done some trail riding and the bike hasn’t flinched.I’ve also gotten a lot of compliments on its looks, glad I went with the Black/Red paint.Protip: Holding the minus(-) button while maintaining speed turns on cruise control.Photo notes: I have added a tail rake and a more powerful light.
