Just discovered your channel this week. Love it. Am also liking that you are not 5'7 160 lbs as I am not a small guy. Wish you would do throttle only top speed tests. You earned a sub! ☺
One of the best reviews I seen yet. I put in a campaign order for the Green one with rear rack and battery bag on June 1st. The Campaign says shipments will start in July. I too prefer the thumb throttles, because I have big hands and that twist throttle is not what I want to be grabbing when handling rough terrain. I have converted my Lectric XP, by moving the twister to the left side (in-board, with a cramp buster on it), and really only use it to get started peddling at stops. I also have bought a Polarna M5 & a ViTiLan i7 Pro, which are my speedsters with thumb throttles. Your review on this bike hit all the specs I wanted to know about, to which I very much appreciate your professionalism. I'm really excited about getting the Mihgogo NX, and really can't wait. The helmet you advertised, is pretty cool too. Keep up the great videos.👍
Thank you for the kind words! I am glad you found value in my review. It's a fun bike to scoot around on and I am working with them right now and should be doing another video talking about some of the changes/improvements they are making to the NX.
@@scotthardesty I have had to change the cassettes and freewheels on all 4 of my e-bikes to 11-32T to get a reduced ghosting on the top PAS speeds. The Polarna & ViTiLan are 8-speeds and still needed the 11 tooth to get some resistance in pedaling in top PAS. I've also changed tires to street worthy ones which helps on noise and rolling resistance. The three 20 inch folding bikes I have, have different power levels of motors which gives me a variety of rides when riding them on my 15 mile loop. The Lectric is a 500W @ 50 nM, the Polarna is a 750W @ 80 nM, and the ViTiLan is the HOSS at a 750W/1100W-peak @ 85 nM, and was programmed for wheel popping acceleration. I have outfitted all my bikes with dual battery capacities, active together. I can get two 15 mile rides out of them using the higher PAS speeds before recharging at between 25% to 40% after the second ride. They are a old man's great way to keep things circulating. 😁
I have had my NX for a couple of weeks now. Motor is virtually silent now. Road tires are very quiet. Helps the handling, too. Battery mh could be better. I'm going to see if I can change the cassette for better gearing. I ghost peddle all the time and only use motor power. Very fun to ride! It is a real head, Turner! Bang for buck is very good! Similar equipped E bikes cost $1000.00 more.
Great review; you've made this ebike one of my top 3 contenders for my 1st ebike. And since both of us are 220 pounds, I feel that this review was totally geared towards me. Ps: you got a new subscriber.
I haven't finished the video yet but I'm excited to see another bike with such a high weight capacity. I'm about 350 lb and I'm looking to change that. I've been considering the Velotric Nomad but this has me interested.
I think for food delivery, this is the ideal e-bike. The bright colors mean you're safe on the roads, and the extra battery and weight support is ideal as utility. I think most people are just going to ride the throttle on this one.
I just bought this bike the review on this video doesn't adjust the bike is beyond better with pedal assist does 32mil max speed and battery does quite some miles at the end of the day you don't get this bike to take a trip to another country. The bike is super solid thick structure only thing is need more attention is the suspension has to be lil softer. Also thump booster is better then throttle.. another thing is my motor is super quiet maybe because you have a prototype they used a different one
This bike does seem perfect for me. Compatibility (storage on my boat) Height, I'm 6ft 7. Weight, I am 280lbs. Lighter magnesium frame, however I am slightly concerned by the recent comments on their Indiegogo page, from customers who have already paid, there seems to be an issue with when the orders will be shipped. Great video Scott, thank you.
I bought a RX Mihogo, I love it ,the look, the take off, & speed is really good, for the price & look, you want find a better deal, got mine 4 weeks ago, steal haven't seen anything that I would consider a better deal, researched for at least 4 weeks, was the best deal out there
I asked Mihogo what wheels will ship on the Nx to US and answer was spoked wheels like the 4.0 with Kenda Street Tires. If you look on their website, the model will ship like the 1st picture in the list of pictures for the Nx. They will not be shipping the 3 spoked wheels. Further, they indicated the 1st shipment is due to arrive in US in 10 days.
Thanks for the review. I am concerned about the loud motor and ghost pedaling. They should have used a cassette with more range. Can you do the advertised top speed of 28 on even ground? I think they should have used 1 high capacity battery that would have gone father than 2 very low capacity batteries.
Thank You Scott for the review I hope the manufacturer reads the comments I really like this bike and would buy it but the noise is a deal breaker I hope they fix that if they do I will buy one.
I didn’t see anywhere showing the cells are UL Certified but they have documents on their website talking about the cells. Maybe that will give you the answer.
@@zhuzhuzhzu9403 I wasn’t able to get the UL Certification on the batteries either. I believe the closer the bike gets to production the more the price goes up.
They stopped including an extra battery in all their e-bikes. Just some now. Customer service says it was a site error… but that was a major selling point of these bikes for me.
looks great. Needs new display and quieter motor. Navigation is kinda nice, but power is critical for enjoyment. voltage always helpful, and 9 pas levels mandatory. Crank seems big enough to pedal 25mph, so that is probably your deficit rather than the bikes.
not a bad bike but im very partial to my Aventon 2 lol but always looking for a "spare" bike. Helmet sounds pretty cool, was wondering how effective turn signals are on the helmet and the speakers for calls and music is a very nice bonus. I will be checking it out! thank you again for all your reviews.
Great review.. However, based on the information on MiHOGO web page... this bike does not fit a person 4' 9". It is for someone taller than 5'' 4". Perhaps you can make that correction.
Honestly, at $1k, that's an incredible price for the specs. The batteries alone would probably be $400 each, so I'm not sure how they're even able to put hydraulic brakes, dual suspensions, and a 750W motor on the bike at this price point.
@@scotthardestyThe Indiegogo campaign for the NX ends in less than 2 days. I would appreciate some info a.s.a.p.. Unfortunately communication with Mihogo is difficult.
@@jackpopham9632 here is what I have so far. They are switching the tires to street tires making it much more quiet. I have been waiting for other updates that would want put out in the video but still waiting, knowing this, I will knock out the video today so you can see/hear the difference.
@@scotthardesty Can you actually speak to a live person? I tried calling the Mihogo 24/7 Customer Service Phone with a few questions and it was OUT of SERVICE.
Just curious. Is the bike a loaner bike that is being sent to other reviewers and shows? Reason I ask may explain the battery going down so fast. The bike overall seems good, although there are things I don't like. That is a preference not a jab on the bike. If the battery does just drop like that I would pass even with the 2nd battery.
No. The bike is mine. It was shipped direct and not used. If you consider how I was riding/testing this bike in the review, I never get the mileage they advertised. If I was just out enjoying the day, it would naturally last longer before being totally drained.
Thanks for a great review. This is a good looking bike at a nice price. Bummer on the noise. The gearing is a deal breaker I'm sorry to say. Maybe that will get changed down the road?
The company is sending me some new parts to install. Seems like they have paid attention to my video. I will be doing an update after updates are installed to see what kind of improvements it creates.
@@scotthardesty I am also very interested in seeing what got updated. Still, I ordered the dual package on Idiegogo (green one & red one). and I'm very excited to get them. Motor noise hopefully gets fixed. ..
Much of this sounds great, except for the quick battery drain, and noisy motor! What most e-bike manufacturers could do to maximize their sales is build with tracking installed, as well as more anti-theft features.
@@UC241 I totally understand. I did do a follow up on this bike after they had sent me street tires for the bike (apparently, they switched the tires) and showed how much quieter the bike has become. Since I am using the same pre production bike, my motor had not been replaced.
I have been reviewing ebikes for more than a year. They reached out to me as they like and trust my reviews. I guess you can send them an email? It all starts with you doing videos with the bike you have.
when you say its ipx rated, what does that mean? there are different levels of rating. if its ipx2 like engwe bikes, you can barely be in the rain. i'm looking for a good ebike that's high IP rated because in my country it rains more days a year then sun. thank you.
I took this from their website. MIHOGO NX is IP65, and the wires of the whole vehicle adopt waterproof cable connectors, and the waterproof grade of the connectors is IP67.

Wow. I am a little sorry I just got the bike I have I will be traveling this fall. I could use a better helmet. I am going to recommend this bike to a short friend. TY!
Sooner or later, you are going to collide with someone. That little girl could have easily swung into your path. Your reviewing is fine, but you ride recklessly around people. Much like drivers on I294.
This is city is filled with millions of people. Hard to find a spot to test these out with no one around. This is why I do my road tests during the week when there is less people out. So you might be right, but drive a car long enough and you will have an accident as well.

MIhogo just confirmed the NX will ship with traditional Spokes and the street tires and not the three spoke knobby version on their website.
They must be trying to save weight by eliminating the mag wheels. Which is unfortunate as that is one of things I like about this bike.

Because some throttles only allow you to go a certain speed limit depending on the PAS level it is on. Some do not. We do not know until we try.
