Thanks for the data-based real-world test to show the capabilities! So many bigger channels reviewed this bike or other similar ones without describing % grade attempted, not to mention your important observation of the assist not kicking in below a certain cadence.
Tyler, thanks so much for the "Real World" testing of Single-Speed, Gates-Drive Ebikes. It is tempting with the lower price, but has major drawbacks. My future Ebike will have Gates-Drive. I hate derailleurs and the $100-$150 annual maintenance. My eyes are on the Priority Current Ebike with Enviolo internally geared rear-hub and mid drive motor. $3,000.
Depends on whether you are hitting steep hills or not. I'm 185 and it struggles on bigger hills, but good on the flats. Starting around 250lbs, I bet a rider would probably start to notice slower acceleration on the flats. And the climbs would be even worse.
I’m 6’2”. Didn’t have issues with feet hitting front wheel, but I keep the balls of my feet on the pedal. If you pedal with the middle of your foot on the pedal then you might, but that’s not a great way to pedal anyways

Glad you found it helpful!
Thanks, live in a hilly area so this was useful

what do you think the size of rider that 350w motor could handle? say 150lb, 200lb, 250lb, 300lb rider?

How tall are you? Do the tips of your feet hit the front wheel on turns?

seems like the Lectric One would be a better bike for the price. what do you think?
I’m not a fan of the small frame size of Lectrics. The geometry gives the bike an awkward riding feel, partially due to my height of 6-2.
