Drifter Folding Electric Bike for Adults 20 X4.0 Fat Tire Electric Bicycle

I had a Engwe T14 before this, which nearly cost me the same years ago when I bought it with shipping and everything, and this bike is a huge upgrade, not only in size, but in speed as well, was easy to put together, and went 28mph right out of the box, no speed unlock necessary unlike my Engwe which was locked at 13 and had to unlock to go 20.Only thing I don't really like about the bike is the fact you have to put the key in the bottom, or the fact that the fenders are metal ( can hear every rock your wheels throw up loud and clear) I love in a very rocky areaIt managed to pull me up hills between 10-15mph depending on steepness(throttle only) which is a nice upgrade from the old bike which I would for sure have to pedal and only manage 8-10mphThe seat is nice, but I'll probably still switch it out, it is pretty heavy, but I find it easier to carry than my smaller bike, since it has that nice handle like bar under the seat, and the battery seems to be pretty good, all in all, for the price, I'd definitely recommend, ive only rode it for one day but will update if i run into issues. Also I see a lot of reviews saying it has squeaky brakes, but mine were nice and silent, even if they weren't nothing a little adjustment couldn't help.Edit: over 300 miles in, bike still running strong, though the motor has recently randomly and occasionally making a very odd noise, that I can't really explain, but the sound reminds me alot of the high pitched laugh that the ghost in super Mario 64 does, but doesn't seem to be any change In performance just now and then randomly makes that noise lol.

I bought this bike for my son to ride to work. He rides 17 miles each way, he loves this bike, I rode this bike I picked it out because it will ride on the grass and dirt. It's tough.

It was easy to build I plugged it in to charge and it won’t charge pass one bar I tried contacting seller with no response I would like to resolve this issue the bike looks awesome but I can’t ride it it won’t charge at all if senada can please reach out the bike looks great but I need this issue resolved

I was able to ride this bike for about 3 weeks before I got into a minor accident that destroyed the entire front wheel portion of the bike. I asked multiple bike repair shops for help, but all refused simply because they didn't know how to repair it. Most repair shops will only service e-bikes they are familiar, so I had to contact senada for a return. When I reached out to customer support on their site, they asked for my amazon order number and proceeded to send me a replacement while also providing me a way to return the broken bike. I cannot say that they will do the same for all, but I think they handled my situation very well.On to the review(after 3 months of daily rides 5 mile round trip)I live in a city with hills and broken roads. Most of the sidewalks are cracked with a bunch of jagged concrete in my way.Building:The building portion was quite easy. I rarely find myself looking into the manual to find what I need. It was an easy build because there isn't much to assemble. However, the quick release lever is the most finicky. I can't tell how tight it has to be, but I just make it just tight enough where I feel resistance in turning it any more, then I press the lever inwards towards the wheel to set it in. The instruction manual had pictures that weren't the most descriptive and sometimes difficult to follow, but eventually I was able to get it working.Design and Build:To be frank, I am not a fan of the design on the bike itself. It's too flashy for no reason. A simple logo on a black background would suffice, but they went the extra mile of adding geometry to the side to make it stand out. No doubt, it stands.The build is rigid and actually nice. It definitely does not feel super cheap. The welding job isn't the cleanest, but it holds up to constant bumps and drops. The front forks have a sort of suspension, not sure what kind, however, they do help, just slightly, with riding into a protrusion on the road. The rear wheel does not have any sort of suspension whatsoever, so if you are sitting and decide to speed through a speed bump, you will feel it in your tailbone for a while. Most definitely slow down or even stand and use your legs as a makeshift suspension.The brake system is quite poor on this bike. It definitely does the job at slowing you down, but I've noticed on the front wheel, it seems to pull the wheel to the side of the brake calipers. If I brake suddenly using only the front brakes, I can see the front portion of the wheel shift to the left, against its correct orientation. It is a bit concerning.The bike uses a physical key to turn the battery on and off, while the button only turns on the bike if the key is in place. This would be a good idea if the key hole wasn't underneath the bike frame. To limit possible ingress points, the designers decided that the keyhole had to be underneath the bike. Which means it's very difficult to insert without feeling your way first. I find it kind of pointless, considering that the point of folding, water can still get through. It is not in any way water proof, however, there is some level of water resistance as the display did not break on me while it got hit with rain.UI:The UI that the bike includes is very intuitive. + sign to increase potential speed and - to decrease potential speed. 0 is fully manual, so you'll have to use your legs. 1 goes up to 12 mph while 5 goes up to 28 mph. The UI also includes total distance traveled, current distance traveled(it keeps track of total, but resets current distance every time it gets turned off), voltage, current, and time. Voltage is very helpful to show you when you need to charge. Typically, my battery is almost empty around 44 volts and charges up to 54 volts. I get around 20 miles on a full charge riding at 12mph, but take into account riding up hills and weight of bike and rider.Power and Charger:At full charge, it holds around 54v. However different batteries will hold a different level of charge. This isn't in Ah or Wh, but just by the voltage information provided by the UI. When accelerating at full power, it runs at 9 amps. So I guess 9 * 54 ~ 500w.At 54v, this bike is able to accelerate much faster than if it was around 44v. And it is also able to ride up hills faster, so keeping a relatively high charge is quite important if you have to go up steeper hills. Charging takes a while. The included charger will get my bike from 46v to 53v in around 3 hours. Remember, this is only going off of the voltage information provided because I am unable to check the actual charge, so I have to improvise by checking the only thing that actually changes during the charge, which is the voltage. The battery pack itself is quite heavy and not something I take out often, only to clean it if it ever rains.Foldability:The bike does fold. And it folds enough to take up a smaller footprint in both x and y direction, however, it will just take up more space in the z direction as expected. Even after folding, it's still difficult to transport because of the huge wheels that are just unwieldy as well as the fact that it does not want to stay folded up. There's no clip or anything that will hold it folded, so it will unravel as soon as it has the chance to. But if you are able to keep it fold, again, it's still very difficult to transport because it is very heavy. I wouldn't say I am weak, but I still struggle to carry this bike when folded. Only because it holds such a weird shape that there's no way to grab it without it trying to unfold itself on you. There isn't any good handling spots on the bike, even with the big handle right in front of the seat. So, this is definitely not something you want to be taking up the stairs or down the stairs.Comfort:The seat is not too shabby. It's not like the comfort of sitting on an actual chair, but for a bike seat, it's definitely on the more comfortable side. There is absolutely no suspensions on the seat or the rear side of the bike, so if you hit any bumps, you will feel the bike launch you up and it does not feel good.Overall, this e-bike is quite good for the price. Especially when considering the customer support experience, I can't say much bad about this e-bike, maybe other than my fear of the front brakes causing the wheel to shift to the left a bit. It could just be nothing, but it could also cause another catastrophic failure. But for now, it does what I need it to do and I do enjoy riding it.8/10

This bike puts the thrill into riding an ebike. When you change the PAS setting from 1 to 3, 4 or 5, you feel the kick as the bike quickly jumps to the preset speed for each PAS setting. On a stretch of road I was able to cruise at 28 MPH, and that is fast for a bike. I am 5'11" and can set the seat so that my toes barely touch the ground. Smooth ride as well. The brakes are quiet, unlike my KBO brand ebike.Assembly was interesting, because the main video is for the orange version, and the design and required assembly is different from the green. The front wheel installs easily using the quick-release bolt that goes through the front axel. The only other installation was for the front and rear fender, the headlight, the handlebar frame and the pedals. You can charge the battery while it is inserted inside the frame. One of the nice features is that the tail light also comes on with the front light, instead of having a separate switch and battery. The headlight is not as strong as the one on my KBO, but it is still good. The seat is comfortable.When riding using the Pedal Assist (PAS) mode, each setting will give you a particular max speed. For example, setting "1" is for 12 MPH. If you are peddling faster than this on your own, you will not get any power assist. But, if you then up it to "2", you will feel an immediate kick as the speed jumps. The trip odometer is nice, as it also measures to the tenth of a mile. The display is decent size, right in the center of your handlebar. I like the old-school bell that uses a thumb-spring to ring the metal bell. No batteries needed!Now having two ebikes (one for our shore place in Wildwood NJ and one for home), and the other one being the KBO brand folding ebike, I must say that this one is faster with a better overall ride (the KBO bike is also good). Always wear a helmet, especially if you are not used to riding a bike on the roads at this speed. I am also now buying a set of mirrors from Amazon so I can see what is behind me.
