I was shocked when I saw this bike for sale at Costco for $299 last year. I thought, there is no harm on giving it a try, if anything Costco has a very generous return policy if I am not fully satisfied. I was thinking the bike has to be cheap given that price point. To my disbelief, the bike ended up being amazing and still gives a tough competition to higher priced ebikes. Costco increased the pricing to $329 in store and $349 online. This is undoubtably one of the hottest selling e-bikes ever built. Many of you have said you bought a Jetson Bolt Pro for your kid or relative and ended up loving it so much that you bought several more for everyone.
Price is not the only factor that makes this bike addicting and such a good deal. The bike features 350W hub motor that helps with up to 15 degrees incline and much better than the typical 250W motors we see in other electric bikes. You can pedal to use this e-bike as a regular bike and if you get tired you can turn on the motor power. This bike features mechanical disk brakes, which are much better than rim brakes in my opinion. The Jetson Bolt Pro has 14” wheels. The portability of this bike is another big plus. It folds and unfolds very easily. You just have to unclip this mechanism on the handlebar stem. It also has a convenient carrying handle. . At just 41 pounds, this bike is one of the lightest ebikes in its class. It fits well inside a sedan like my Tesla model 3.
The unfolded dimension of this bike is 46.5”x19.3”x38.6” and the folded dimension becomes 46.5”x19.3”x23”. It has a max weight limit of 265 pounds. The recommended age group for this bike is 12 and up. Even though the bike is quite small, I have been told by some of my subscribers that they are over 6 feet in height and still use this ebike on a regular basis. They had to purchase and extended seat post.
It features a 36V 6AH lithium-ion battery that can give you up to 15 miles of range in full throttle and 30 miles with pedal assist. Speaking of which, you don’t have to use the full throttle all the time, you can pedal and just get some assist from the motor on doing so. It has a speed limit of 15.5 mph. More on the speed limit and increasing range later in the video.
The jetson bolt pro has a power button the left side and also a mechanical bell. On the right side, it has a display that shows battery level, multifunction button that activates headlight and cruise control and a twist throttle.

One question how do u turn on the ligth in front of the bike ???? Please let me konw i have the same bike
turn to Christ❤❤
I don’t have this bike specifically. Actually bought the Metakoo M1 Ebike as a 10 month sober gift to self. Currently am closing in on 15 months sober. But all and all it’s a lot like the Bolt. A lot of same specifics. Weighs 33 lbs and folds up. So very convenient foe storage. I carry it up and down two flights of stairs every morning and evening. I really enjoyed your video. I’m thinking about speaking with a friend about possibly purchasing the bolt. He currently rides a 21 speed mountain bike that is aging. So thought this bike would be a great price and good quality and a nice convenient source of transportation for him. Thanks again for the review and all the time you put into your videos. They are great. Have a wonderful and blessed day.
Thank you very much for your feedback. I really appreciate it.
Jetson should sponsor you shiva! Jetson should be glad to have you endorse there bike with how well you present their bike! Awesome work as always shiva!
Thank you so much Eric. I really appreciate your kind words and continuous support to my channel.
But then it wouldn't be an unbiased review would it.
Unfortunately with modifications involved, they would never stand behind that for liability reasons…
I just bought this bike, eagerly waiting till next week but I'm super impressed with everything you've done to modify this bike. I relate to taking stuff apart and seeing how they work, making it better. So a visual log of how to make mine better, your awesome dude, thank you for your knowledge and experience
How do you like it?
I enjoy using my Bolt Pro to make courier deliveries, and i'm damn good at it. My customers are always wowed to see me come in as fast as I do on this little bike with their meals still hot, & 100's of deliveries (and generous tips) later I'm going strong. Jetson really went above and beyond to make sure my needs were met and have provided me top notch support from the gate.
Love this bike, and it's customization capability. For diy geeks who love modding or improving their stuff, because this little cheetah has tons of potential with many affordable parts from various brands. They might be seen as an inexpensive toy to some on passing; They're much more than that.
Also I recommend getting a Stop A Flat Tire, at least for the back wheel to save you the trouble.
Thank you very much for your feedback. That is awesome you are doing deliveries with this bike and it has been working out well for you.
I'm a food delivery rider too on an ebike, customers love me because I'm fast but restaurants hate me lol.
What's a Stop A Flat tire? Are they still air filled?
@@dubmob151 they're like solid inner tubes made of a tougher like styrofoam.
Similar to a pool noodle but made into a tube
Love mine and have 1500kms on it so far and it's been solid. Only had to replace brake pads. My favorite function is how fun and easy to use it is. Can't find another Ebike for the price. It's like being a kid again. Many family and friends have also bought one after seeing mine. Best money I've spent and it helped me explore my city in ways I havnt before.
Hey my friend, good to hear from you. Hope you have been doing well. I agree, this bike is awesome!
@@ShivaSapkota been loving the extended range after doing your 2nd battery and switch mod.
I'm American....
What's a "kimiss?" (KMS) 🤔🤭
🤦🤦♀️🤦♂️
@@EvilTwin123 kilometer
1 km = 0.621 mile
he rode about 932 miles
how long is the full charge usually? I saw this bike in an outlet shop for 250 should have gotten it
Hey, I made it in the video! Still got my Jetson bolt pro, still ride it 6-8 miles a day, 5 days a week, unmodded. Keep the chain oiled and invest in a good seat cushion and get the seat height right and this bike is an excellent ride around your town or city. Your videos are amazing!
Thank you very much for all your support.
By just using wd40??
@@Sizzlinchicken i use Waterproof bike chain lube
Do you still use it or do you have a newer one?
@@silence6164 I am actually still using mine though it is starting to get to end of life for as much as I use it. 2-5 miles 4 times a week for the better part of 4 years and it doesn't scoot as well as it used to. sure I could replace the battery and motor and have it be almost as good as new but I think I'm ready to upgrade to something with a little more punch
I love the ability to fold and put in my van to have readily available to take on short trips anywhere my family goes. Keep up the great work!
This bike is perfect for that purpose. Thank you for sharing and supporting my channel.
I have this bike and I honestly love it. For this price it is honestly worth it. The bike is foldable, has a long durability, and you can gt good mileage in it for battery usage. This bike charges fast, and goes up to 15mph and it’s extremely fun! For a price like this it is a steal!
Great vid! I just bought a 12in. Wheeled axle version by jetson 2wks ago. Got it from target at the price of $429. Speed is great and battery so far holds up even with full throttle at 15mph around half hour to 45min. Range is great upto 18 miles and 30 miles of pedal assist. Brakes work too good since i had an accident 8 days ago. Flipped over the handlebars as i tried stopping to avoid a another rider ( my nephew) . Checked for damage and nothing really except a minor scratch on the right brake lever. What I'm trying to say is, this bike is built super tough and the overall enjoyment i have riding it is a thrill. I'm a 51 yr old guy over 180+lbs and this bike moves fast over 15 mph. Jetson out done themselves making these bikes. Btw.... I'm ok after that accident. Thank goodness for protection gear. Thanks for the review and hopefully mayyyybe in the future do a review on my bike if you ever got one. Only see a few vids of this bike and not really a insightful info about it. Thanks
Thank you for input and expertise. We had started to look at the EBike market and got overwhelmed and confused with this that and the other . The salespeople we met our friends telling us what they thought was best for us etc.
You made it very easy to choose the Jetson after watching your video. We purchased the Jetson Bolt Pro and it’s perfect for our needs. Certainly the price point made it even more attractive. Thanks again for making our choice a lot easier to make.
I am really happy to hear that. Thank you very much for watching my videos. I am glad you like this bike, it is certainly one of my favorite ebike especially at that price point.
I bought this bike today I’m 5’11 and I’m 240 lbs and I have no problem I luv it so much I’m going back tomorrow to get another one for my wife it is amazing thanks for your video I will definitely watch the other ones thanks again
Thank you very much for your support.
How about if your 6'2?
@@leofernandez4217 I think you might be to tall but buy it at Costco so if you don’t like it you can return it
Hey Shiva! Thanks so much for the work you have done in these videos! We just bought 2 of these bikes and your experience and informative videos helped make the choice easy (as well as the price). Jetson should send you some money because I feel like you have provided some great info for Jetson owners. It is like my bike came with a series of free how-to videos! I look forward to seeing more Jetson videos and mods from you. Keep up the great work!
Thank you very much for your support. I am glad my videos have been helpful. Jetson actually never responds to my email or calls, I have heard nothing from them even when I reach out about bike questions. However, I make these videos to help folks out since they are clearly not getting the support they need from the manufacturer. Thank you again.
I got lucky. I bought this bike refurbished for $200. $214 if you include tax but it was free shipping. I thought that the bike would come in worn out but to my surprise, the tires were brand new, and the range (throttle only) is 13 miles +. So its practically new. I have put on 530 miles so far the past almost 2 months and this is the best purchase I have made on a bike (Ebike or not) ever!! I do groceries/errand/going to the gym/going to bike trails with this bike. Its awesome. Still cannot believe I bought this for $200. which is the cost of some e bike battery alone.
HI James, thank you very much for your feedback and letting me know how you use the bike. This bike is awesome!
I grabbed one of these at Costco. They cost $400 up here in Canada but that's still a fantastic price for an e-bike. I've already used it once to commute to work and it's fantastic! What really surprised me is how great of a pedal bike it is. I actually pedaled most of the way, only having engaged the motor about half a dozen times. It's comfortable and easy to ride. I honestly don't know how they did it for the price but I'm not one to look a gift horse in the mouth. You really can't go wrong for the price, especially considering that it just works and at only 40lbs, it's REALLY easy to carry.
I was initially skeptical when I saw it because I thought to myself "How good can an e-bike be when it costs less than most electric scooters?" but, an elderly couple was walking past me and the woman said to her husband "Look honey, our bikes!". I thought quickly and asked them "Is this a good bike?" to which they both nodded and the woman said "Oh yes, we love ours and they were on sale for $100 off when we got them!". Well, I sure didn't expect a sale to happen again considering the cost of gasoline right now but I grabbed it and threw it into my cart. One of the best decisions that I've ever made because I'm going to get a LOT of use out of it. The thing is so much fun to ride that I was actually bummed that it rained today because I wanted to ride it. The rain stopped and if it doesn't start again before I go to lunch, I'll drive home and ride back. I love it THAT much! 🥰😛😍😆😁👍
Love to hear that, im considering getting one of them refurbished from their website at around $244 USD so it's pretty much a steal at that point, And I plan on making my money back on it in a little less than a week it because I'm a food courier haha. Do you think it'll be suitable as a delivery bike? just curious.
@@joel3683 I think that you could swing that but you'd need to do a spare battery mod and have several extra batteries. I was averaging about 13km per day riding to work and back but as a courier... This bike won't have the range you need.
@@AvroBellow There are plenty of things that can affect that so could you tell me more about how you rode it? Like was it on full throttle? etc. And yeah I plan on following his video on the double battery mode, I'm sure I'll be fine I know how much I ride and I'll have a month to try it out and then return it if I want to but I doubt that'll be the case.
It took 4 videos before landing on this one - your video by far surpasses the information compared to the first videos I watched (selected randomly when searching jetson bolt pro ebike). THANK YOU!
Next to last day of the year and it hit 40F on mid-coast Maine USA! I rode today and yesterday in a driving snow shower. Long term opinion of the Jetson Pro from a 72yo, 30+ year USCF and NORBA racer. I rode my Pro over 750 miles so far, other then me ruining my stock battery, zero problems. Five star rating!
I love this bike because it does everything I need it to do.It’s a good solid bike with excellent quality all around.
Thanks for making an awesome electric bike Jetson.🇨🇦
Awesome! Thank you very much for your feedback. This bike is amazing.
We bought two for camping and we LOVE them! So much fun.
Thank you very much for your feedback. I love this bike!
Thanks, Shiva… my husband and I (self-described “elderlethes…” at 68/80…) ordered a couple of these directly from Jetson, reconditioned… for our state and national park RV camping… so we can zip over to the camp store or ranger station, or trailhead… your videos were very influential in our decision!
you are a god send bro. Thank you for your dedication to this bike
I have had this bike for 3 years. it has always been reliable and have gotten no flat tires :)
I love these bikes because I can fit both mine and my wife's in the trunk of my Sudan and take them anywhere for a good time
Bought one 3 Years ago from Jetson for my wife. She loves it. No problems at all.
If you currently own a Jetson Bolt Pro, what do you like the most about this e-bike? I will have many more videos on this electric bike in the future. Let me know what other videos you would like to see in this channel. Here is a playlist of all my Jetson Bolt Pro videos: ua-cam.com/play/PLthI4lX2FgtOXUCXRXsM6Lzlb80moKzUk.html
Also I would like to share a very important safety tip about adding a kids cars seat or accessories for a 2nd person. DO NOT DO IT! I added a kids seat to the back of my wife's Jetson Pro and even though my 2 year old is 25 pounds and wife is less than 200, our 1st attempt to ride went horribly bad. It was too much weight and the bike tipped backwards. Wife hurt her hand but thank God my little girl and wife are OK. So what I have found to be the safest method and works well is to attach a bike trailer and attach to the seat frame. Haven't had any problems since. Hope this helps someone else. Again, thank you for you videos..
@@a-trainsandroid6731 Thank you very much for sharing that. I am really sorry to hear about the incident. This is definitely helpful for folks trying to add extra seats. Would you mind sharing which trailer you purchased and I will see if I can feature it in my channel. Thank you again 🙏
@@ShivaSapkota I sure will

I weigh 130, so it’s really zippy...I live in Orlando so I can ride it year round...Thanks for your informative videos...!
This bike is the reason I found you UA-cam. I had to change a tire. I have 4. I use it to travel to work. About 35 mi per week. I had 2 that had electrical problems and would shut off when turning. Jetson replaced both under one year warranty. Jetsons shipping is terrible and I had to return several bike before I finally got 2 that did not get damaged in shipping. Jetson is not always responsive but I got lucky to find a rep that stuck with me. I like how compact the bike is. It makes it easy for my wife and I to put 2 of them in our car and travel with them. I saw your review on ENGWE bikes. That has made me interested in their bikes for more distance, a bike with shocks and something with a bit more speed.
Mr Shiva. God Bless You . I'm a 73 yo young man., with 3 gkids. I was riding allover with'm while watching your Wonderful Video. Like a dream in the afternoon. That's exactly what I need. I will buy one and try it. Thanks Again
Love it because the price and the mods you provided in your vids. Great job! No other bike has been so modifiable than this. Even with the mods in your vids, it's still less costly than most out there. Lastly, it fits in my Smart Car!
My mom got this bike for me to commute the 2 miles to campus everyday and it's fantastic for that. 15-20 minutes to get to my classes depending on where they are on campus. My favorite thing though is ripping my dab pen and cruising around the neighborhood.
When folded, this bike easily fits in the hatch area of a 2006 Scion xB. I run for fitness and health, but my wife has a foot injury so is not able to run very far without pain. I run, and she rides this Jetson Bolt Pro to go along with me. I just recently replaced the battery using your tutorial. Thanks for the great Jetson content!
I will tell you one thing I didn't like, the battery didn't last more than 3 months. Fortunately Costco has a generous return policy.
the amount of commitment to improving this cheap little ebike is so impressive i watched all the videos while owning a letric xp and am now thinking about getting the word out about this one
This is a great review. It helps me to decide to buy when I was looking a budget friendly ebike for my wife to commute going work. It was so informative. Thank you again Shiva. from Canada to you. more power to your channel.
We purchased one of these last year and we use it all the time. It’s fun to ride and so far has been very good purchase from Costco.
I like how bright the headlight is at nighttime
Thanks for your feedback.
If you are looking to upgrade the Jetson Bolt Pro, you can check out my Jetson Playlist for all the videos. If you haven't purchased this bike and are looking for a similar ebike, check this one out: ua-cam.com/video/cmebEL4IhOQ/v-deo.html
Could you please review Jetson Haze, now available at Costco. I got the Bolt Pro a year and a half ago because of your brilliant videos and Costco's return policy.
I think I would love the 16" wheels and removable battery but I would like to see your take on whether it is worth the much greater cost. Thank you
Thank you man! This is a wonderful channel and your love for the bike and modifying it shows! I will go through your videos and get some basic accessories to get my started on new bike that I just got.
Also, the price has increased to $375 bucks now.
Also, are you from Nepal? :)
Aloha from Big Island of Hawaii,
I just bought a Jetson Bolt Pro from Costco & I like it. Where I live it is a little hilly & at 63 I'm not able to go up the hills on my mountain bike as easily as on the Jetson. But most importantly it fits in the trunk of my hard top SC430 Convertible, with the top up. Probably would fit in my back seat with top down since the box it came in fit when I first bought it. Certainly has given me more options for instance: If my car has to go to a shop for service, I don't have to stay & wait, or look for a ride. I do recommend be careful riding it until you get used to the way it rides, the weight distribution is different than a regular bicycle. Definitely worth the $329 it costs..God Bless & Ride Safe.
I went to pick my granddaughter up at her high school and these things were everywhere!
Fast and good quality material 👍🏻👍🏻
i like that it doesnt cost more than a months rent
I upgraded my stock controller to a 48v controller and switched the stock battery to a 16ah 48v battery. Also changed the display to a LCD s866 and just love it. Top speed increased to 25mph and range drastically increased.
What do you get for the range now and with straight throttle maybe ? Is it much easier going uphill ?
I am interested also in the mod cost compared to a higher end retail e-Bike
We got 3when its was sooo affordable and I love how close to the ground it runs. When my teens fall, its not too far down. The brakes keep failing though. Another had the handle throttle die. We found the price to fix it was more than value of it. Jetson hasn't replied possibly because of the mods. ? I love these video you make!!!!!!!
Never seen one of your videos before nor have I ever heard about your channel and this video / review was so solid I had to subscribe. Great work!
I'm buying one today and found your video. Your knowledge and links left me no question to subscribe. Thank you very much!😉👍
Thank you for this. Passed by them in Costco today and thought "hmmm, maybe my kid can bike to school instead of my driving him." Will be picking one up tomorrow based on this review, and the 90-day return policy. My hesitations: he's 14 and 5'10" in a spurt. It might end up too small for him. His school is 2 miles up a big hill (and down again) in traffic. He loves to take things apart to see how they work, and then sometimes they don't. I think you might be a good influence on him :)
How’s it going with the bike? Does your kid like it?
@@wakawaka1976 Thank you for the question.
My son has grown another inch since the last communication. He burned through the brakes on this e-bike in 5 weeks on our hills. He's hard on things in general, but that was just too short of a life for me to justify keeping this and replacing brakes every 5 weeks.
Plus, the handlebar issue was concerning safety-wise. This bike needs 2 hands on deck at all times. No hand signals. Other than those -- if you have a flatter environment and a leisurely route - it was great!
I don't recommend it as a commuter.
Returned it, and ordered this instead:
(significant price point difference)
arielrider.com/products/kepler?gclid=Cj0KCQjw-pCVBhCFARIsAGMxhAdB16slPJP-zkvuCROb960jswEZyDqq0-qTqn0rfh6BB6ObibN1MsUaAohDEALw_wcB
I do have to say, it was the perfect little intro e-bike to get me interested in them. It was fun! I fell a couple of times off of the line because the torque was amazing and I was not prepared for that (not a bad thing, once you get used to it. Really fun in fact).
For the price, and for what it is, I don't know if there is anything comparable. If you're taking smooth around-town trails and just tooling around, it might be great.
For what I want it to do, and for how hard my kid is on things -- it just didn't hold up.
@@lisajohnson5516 thanks for the reply and holy smokes that bike you got looks awesome! I’m actually looking for a commuter for my wife 8.2 miles flat each way. I was thinking we should at least get something like a Lectric 2.0 but she saw all the reviews for the bike in this video on Costco’s website. We are complete noobs to ebikes. Thanks for the tips.
I love this comment. Just because you are a new gen mom & kids now are more spoiled than ever. Just the fact you drive your kid to school & pick him up from school is a huge deal.
I grew up in the 80's. My up bringing was piss poor, nobody was driving me anywhere. I had to go on school buses, city buses & metros to go to school & back home.
Costco, Electric bikes & huge stores like that didn't even exist. It was mom & pop shops & things costed a fortune.
Anyways I recommend you pay about $2000 & get your kid a way better electric bike that goes 32km/ hr & a 70-100km distance before you recharge the battery.
i am watching this while heading down to Costco to buy this!
I bought this is EMARKET from Costco this summer and Fort Collins I love it
Im impressed with your attention to detail. As well as your hard work. I wish you lots of success. Thank you.
Good, helpful review. I've just ordered 2 from Costco. I'm glad that I've found this channel. Subscribed.
i love the way your so fluent with tech i will buy this jetson as a support bc of the review awsome video i look foward to watching you more - new subber
I have a Glare wheel EX-5. The crankset fell apart in one month, so I had to upgrade. Surprisingly happy after upgrading chainwheel, crankset, and pedals. Also upgraded to seat post suspension. Extra lights and reflectors for visibility. Also added sideview mirrors and a handlebar extension rod so that the additional headlight can be placed exactly in the middle instead of the side. Might get a waterproof hard shell bag mounted on stem and/or a cage for my rear rack, as I need a place to hold u-lock and cable.
Thank you very much for sharing your mods!
Great for running my daily errands and just rolling. My Christmas gift love my big bro! Good looking out. Hope you liked my gift too although it's nowhere close. Thanks also niece for not wanting it passing it to me . Definitely an upgrade from my e scooter
I’m 5’11” 240lbs and love riding this thing to work, it’s like 4miles away with very little increase in elevation, so guess who doesn’t need to peddle much…this guy.
Are you a big type guy just wondering if this woukd be good for a big guy?
Thanks for the video Shiva, enjoyed every min. Im StevoTomic the artist. Everyone who i meet at my art shows says your work is so Jetson. So going from my van to the show site would be cool to show off. Lol.
Great job with all of your highly informative, extremely, helpful and thoughtful videos! THANK YOU SO MUCH.
These style of bikes are very good, I get lots of comments about my one, but the one thing I would recommend is to change those handle bars, I found the original bars really uncomfortably low and they affect the way the bike handles, by changing the handle bars to something a little taller I have noticed an huge improvement in handling.
It's a very good little bike with a few modifications, I have found myself using it way more than any other bike I have had putting on the miles rapidly.
Well worth the money even if we pay quite a bit more in the UK for them than you do there.
Thank you very much for your feedback. I agree, the handlebar can use some upgrades.
@@ShivaSapkota The bars I mentioned on one of your other videos not only make the bike look better but the handling is much improved, well worth the money plus being aluminium helps reduce weight.
@@flitsies Awesome!! Thank you.
What handlebars do you suggest? thanks!
@@789chelsea123 I made a mistake on the last posting so I removed it, the actual handle bars I have are the 420 mm riser bars, they make the bike much better to handle, but you will still need new cables, and will still need to loosen off the zip ties that hold the throttle cable on place.
Sorry about the mistake, but yes the 420 mm riser bars are perfect for this little bike.
Thank you for taking the time to make these very informative videos.
Great video THANKS YOU. I just ordered one. Can't wait to get it. I love the add-ons you did and will definitely do some of them.
I love taking this bike for daily use from sight seeing to visit friends. The value of this bike is way above the cost!
I love the throttle. I Don’t like the other one which use thumb switch.
I agree! This bike is a steal for that price. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Got a flat in the front tire...Inner tubes for these are expensive...Found one on Amazon for $15...Didn’t bother with a patch kit...You‘ll need to shop around...It’s lots of fun...
Thanks for your feedback. I am sorry you had a flat tire.
Thank you so much for the review! What do you think about the Jetson Haze bike? I wish you could review that one ❤️
Nicr review I've been watching several of these because im thinking about buying one. My question is how do you charge it do you take the battery out or do you plug the bike in somehow 👍😁
Just got mine delivered today. Can't wait to ride it. Was fully charged already! Will do some night riding.
Best $260 I ever spent on any bike! 🎉
Great video. I’ll be watching more. Got the Bolt Pro from a neighbor who barely used it. Great price. Immediately put a rack and trunk on the back and a longer seat post. Next a water bottle cage for the handlebar stem and I’m ready to go. I’m only 5’6” but have knee issues and the longer seat post means I can pedal a lot more and get more mileage from it. And it’s just fun. I get looks and questions every time I go out.
I like its value. Trying to get an ebike for under $500 is really hard. The build is very good too. I feel secure riding it. The only caveat that I would say to that is if you are tall or big. I am 5'11" and 200 pounds and I can still ride it but I find it a bit like trying to ride a child's bike. It's not much of an issue when I am using the thrust but trying to pedal is not the most fun but not terrible either. Also, the pedaling is geared for a rather slow pace, like under 10 mph. Good luck pedaling any faster than that, you'd look like a cartoon character. Regardless, it is definitely a good bike, especially for the price.
Hello, yes I agree. It is difficult for taller/bigger folks. I that is how I feel with my DYU S2 that I reviewed recently. Thanks for watching my video.
I bought a shock absorber seat stem,added length and smooths out the bumps. Amazon for 22 bucks.
@@lylewollenhaupt7424 Any chance of posting the item number... Thanks
The peddle assistant doesn't kick in when you peddle. The throttle power works fine
The Jetson bolt pro is for sure the best inexpensive e bike that i have found. I have yet to run in to any issues with mine since I got it earlier this year. easy pedaling is great for an older person like me who doesn't have the leg power anymore for a regular bike. get a bolt pro you won't be disappointed.
Thank you very much for your feedback. I really appreciate it.
I am really enjoying my Bolt Pro, my favorite 2 upgrades are, the speed hack, and the 20ah battery I added.
Next upgrade will be turn signals.
Awesome, this bike is super fun.
How do you do the speed hack on the pro?
Thank you for going out of your way to include Canadian Amazon links! Much appreciated :)
Thank you for your kind words. I try my best to make helpful videos and easy to follow links :)
This worked perfectly for me. Thank you very much!
you're so awesome! please keep it up shiva!
My Dad and I bought one from Costco last week and ours was $339 before tax.. got them home And my dad's bike worked flawlessly and my bike had issues.. the brakes weren't working well they were grabbing on and off real quick.. my dad wanted up test it and he crashed the front brake grabbed and didn't let go causing my dad go fall off the bike. He's ok.... I took my bike back go Costco today for a exchange and had no problems exchanging... got the new bike home charged it and took the bike out and it worked great I love it..
I am sorry to hear about the accident and I am glad your dad is okay. This little bike is awesome! Happy riding.
SO SHWEEEETTT...much love Tee with LIONS NAMED LEO.[the music worldwide}
and not bad for the cost 4 sure...!
Thanks Shiva! Great review.
Nice video and cool upgrades....we are buying one now
Very good informative video. Thanks for sharing! Looks just like the DYU D3F Mini E-Bike. Is that the same bike just through a different seller?
Great review! You’re amazing! Thank you! 🙏💛💛💛
Ok Wait..1st..Fantastic Video❤️❤️❤️Now…You Reached Out To Costco Sooo Many Times..and Heard Nothing…Doesnt Make Me Feel Comfortable About Purchasing Their Product.Lets Say An Issue Comes Up,and You Have To Contact Them🤷🏼♀️So,Sounds Like A Good Bike,But I Worry😂😂😂
There is 3 same bikes with different branding on them - 'Jetson', 'DYU' and 'Kugoo' I have 'Kugoo' Kirin V1 which is same like Jetson Bolt Pro but has 48v battery, 48v controller and 400w motor but chassi and else is the same. From youtube Jetson goes up to 15-16 miles, I'm 95kg (210 pounds) weight and Kugoo carries me at max speed of 35km/h (21-22mph). A bit of a design flaw on all 3 of them is that front light is placed at the non turning part of the bike frame, so when you turn - light shines to other side and not where you are turning... a bit useless IMO so, I just use my trusty ridden in rain and drop tested Future Technology Evolva X8 bike light which is very bright for its compact size.
I bought one at auction for $200CAD… it’s the most ridiculous ebike ever and I love it. My main ebike is a RadRover but the Bolt is great fun for farting around the city.
I seen one local in an auction I'm thinking of bidding on it just don't know if I should I'm curious if it easy to handle since it's very low seat or handlebars
Thank you for all of your helpful information. I have added some of the accessories mentioned in your video and added Slime to the tires. I really enjoy the bike, but I am disappointed in the distance. After three months of owning the bike and riding maybe 30-40 miles, I can only go a distance of 3-4 miles. I keep the bike indoors (I live in Arizona) and my weight is well under the maximum. I contacted the company and have not received a response. Would installing a new battery help? Thank you again.
Hi Sara, I am sorry to hear that. Yes, it is definitely the battery. I would recommend a higher AH battery (10-14AH) and it will give you a whole lot of more range. Please refer to my dual battery video for details. Thanks!
My partner surprised me with one of these scooters yesterday. It’s the same but no pedals. I was really excited and went out on a drive yesterday but the stock seat I learned wasn’t sufficient so I swapped seats with my old bicycle. Can’t wait to go on a ride again after work! We saw it at Walmart yesterday just browsing scooters and I liked this one most.
I didn’t know it was limited. I live near the suburbs so I could check if the App works on it! Too much traffic out here!
Subscribed! Thanks so much
that is so cool that you added a second battery. i am currently gathering parts for converting my scwinn axim to an ebike.
Wo not a bad price wow. Good stuff Shiva!
Thanks Ken. Yeah this bike is a steal honestly! Ebikes are usually much more expensive.
@@ShivaSapkota how many e bikes do you have lol
Lol too many. I have an e-bike addiction 🤣
I really appreciate you taking the time to share all your information with us I just purchased one of those bikes I would like to see how to make it go faster as well
Great video I’m a new subscriber
I scored a Jetson J5 at walmart for 300 bucks! wow. I'll have to check out your other vid's.
love all your vids. just wanted to know if you could make a video about how to replace the pedals with pegs as an option
Shiva! Seeing your great videos on the awesome Jetson Bolt Pro makes me wish I was a 'smaller' person so I could get one! I am curious about the Ancheer version I'm sure you've heard about, which visually seems to be the same bike, but with a 500w motor. I think it's called 'The Dolphin', but I'm not sure about that. I'm wondering if it's a 'too good to be true' scenario! Anyway, keep doing what you do - we appreciate it!
Thanks for your continuous support to my channel. I reached out to Ancheer but haven't heard back. I will see if I can get my hands on that ebike for a review in my channel. I might be reviewing one from Fiido, which is a similar bike but supposedly higher power and a bit bigger for a comparable pricing. Thanks again!
500 watt motor gives this ebike all the giddy up you need , good,good,good small ebike !
I bought my jetson bolt at costco last April and this week the breaks BOTH just stopped working all of the sudden while riding it. It was the most scary thing in my life. I heard a pop and then boom no breaks and I almost got hit by car. Thank goodness I wasn't going down a hill. I contacted Jetson and though they do have a wearhouse in NYC they do not fix bikes. I am going to throw this bike out because I do not think I would ever feel safe on it anymore. How can both breaks stop working at the same time?? This is a serious safety issue. I don't even want to mention that the throttle stopped working 6 months ago and I have been paddling the whole time every time I used it
Man great video!
I love this bike but if it had a front wheel shock absorber it would be safer to drive
Even forgetting the amazing amazing price this e bike is in one word impressive!
I like your videos. I found you when I was looking things up about my first Jetson bolt Pro I got it for 200 but on the website there 600
I got the rev 1 e bike but this one it’s super cool wish I would’ve heard about it first
Where can I get the extender for the seat? My son is 6' 1" tall... Will he be too big for this bike?
I just bought one gently used, luvin it!! can you please tell me how to turn on the headlight, no manual and tried and tried to find the on switch! I’m sure it’s right in front of me! Thx!
