I haven’t ridden a bike in several years because I’m out of shape and have issues with hills. I could never keep up with my now husband and it was frustrating.
My husband put the bike together and had no issues. Everything was labeled and written out well and he didn’t even need the video. I was able to take it out as soon as he had it together.
I have ridden it every single day since and want to take it out every opportunity I can! I can easily make a 9 mile ride and it’s only been a week. The pedal assist helps me get going and gives a little help up small hills. The bike itself rolls so well, I’ve had to turn off the power so I don’t pass more experienced bicyclists on flat trails. I do wish I could just go to zero without turning it off.
The throttle is fun and gives me a break when needed. I was hoping it could help more on larger hills, but I couldn’t make it out of a park this weekend without walking the bike up the hill myself. I was able to use the walk assist function and that did help. On a flat trail going straight, I easily got to 20mph with the throttle. It’s not super powerful on hills.
The battery life has been amazing! I hit 30 miles this weekend and still have half the battery life left. That is beyond what I had hoped for and can’t wait to see how far I can go.
The price point is fantastic, the comfort great for me, I wish the water bottle holder fit on the bike, but there is no place to put it that is small enough. I did have to buy a few accessories, but it’s nice to pick and choose myself.
I recommend this for anyone trying to get back into the saddle and have some fun!
