I have one of these in the uk, safe to say i can keep up with 125cc motorbikes when pulling away from traffic lights its ridiculous at acceleration. I love the way this bike is constructed as its all completely off the shelf bicycle parts which makes repairs easy.
@@reviewittv1802 the law is officially 250w motor with a cut off at 15mph and no throttle only pedal assist. However I've never had a single issue with the popo when riding my bikes and pretty much all of them I've owned have been capable of double the legal limit lol.
@@reviewittv1802 I can keep up with my brother on his 150cc motorbike until 25mph on the philodo 🤣. An ebike has no business having this much power but I'm all for it.
I have put a couple hundred miles on my H8 so far. The rear Brake just failed midway on a long downhill (hydraulic oil leak). The Cassette and Chainring are typical for PAD1-3 bikes but unsuitable for PAD4-5. I have changed the Cassette to an 11 (smallest cog) from a 14 tooth. That is better, but I will need a 54-tooth chain ring to make PAD5 useful ( It comes with a 48-tooth stock) Overall good bike if a bit underengineered. Torque is awesome, but uphill endurance is about 10 miles on a constant forest road that goes consistently uphill. If you are doing extensive distance/mountain work, either pack a spare tire or look at Papa Blue Shirt Channel to see how he mounts a second battery and the voltage blender module. It adds ~20 lbs but reduces battery range anxiety. Recommend the fix-a-flat goop in the tires.
I have to say i was watching the way your son rides and its a bit dangerous with him always putting his foot down to the floor when turning. I kept saying to my wife while watching this kid is gona go down and sure enough it happens he goes over the handlebars. I hope he's ok brotha. I've ridden for over 50 years and your always more stable leaving your feet on the peddles at all times will keep you and the bike perfectly ballenced. If the bike leans to much to the side and your foot is down on the ground trying to keep the bike from leaning to far your leg will jam up on you and bust a kneecap. This is the best video out there on the philodo bike and accessories great job!!
He'd have done a lot better if that front motor could be turned off. It kept going sideways, wanting to slip out from under him. A sliding back tire is better than both of them sliding. If the front breaks loose naturally a two wheeled drift is easier to control.
@@donolinger6904 the front motor can be turned off... all you have to do is actually pedal, the front motor only engages if you're using the throttle, if you pedal it's rear motor only
Great review...I have the H7 and its amazing. I get 30mph with no problem and my wife gets 35 on hers. Philodo makes a great bike. Fully loaded and built tuff. We just bought a couple of luckeep X1 folding bikes yesterday because the philodo H7, 8, and jumbo are just way to big to transport. These philodo bikes are my favorite. Im 6'4 and it's perfect for me. I keep mine in peddle assist 1 all day long and i ride at about 18 mph which is fine for me i like the exercise but my wife is 5'4 and its hard for her she loves it but she hates to have to come to a stop because she has to get off the seat and stand on her toes and point the bike to the side. She likes the folding bike better only because of her height. She's already fallen on the philodo. I'd caution anyone under say 5'6 to stay away from this bike as you say.
@ebogar42 So when you are far away from your trunk after you get a flat, do you just keep somebody at your vehicle waiting until you call them for a flat every time?
great review! Im 6'4" 34 inseam so it will fit, but Ive learned I like the step thru better. Im also 63 & after awhile riding I get stiff [in all the wrong places] so getting on & off isnt so ez. [learned that on my 1st ebike] later got a step over & WOW what a difference! ez on & off Ive been looking at the h8 & really liking it, but Im old so want a step thru been looking at the MC3 step thru but its only 500 watts on each motor - so not as powerful as the H8! my question is if you or others might suggest another step thru AWD ebike? Im hoping for a "real" trail & logging road ebike [my atv takes me there fine, but Id like to ebike it]
@@reviewittv1802 bummer about the mooncool - its an "ok" alternative to the Philodo I was happy to see your link as they do have a step thru, just not on the AWD Id want both motors. I like the H8, so maybe a low step & move the battery to the rear? either under or over the rack. and yeah Id move that controller as its in a wet area now. [yeah I can do that] these Philodo ebikes, either the H8 or the jumbo would be my choice, "IF" it was a step thru yeah I could step over,but I prefer an ST, but gotta be AWD or a mid drive for me.
It can be a few things such as an issue with the control box not signaling the motor to operate as well as just a defective motor. Try unplugging the cable near the wheel to the motor an re-plug it in to see if that changes anything. Other then that I would contact Philodo directly as one of my in-laws had the same issue on his front motor and they sent him a new one at no cost.
don't ever use the phone holder. It will snap within a few days. Bought a clone of thise model yesterday for 300 euro's. Didn't had a display.. lol Can't ride it right now.. but boy I'm looking forward to do it!
@@reviewittv1802 thats my thought too, some are ok, some are not as good as others. but really we are going to add our own parts to make it the way "we" want it to be ;) *but yeah the philodo is closer to what I want. I like the blue the best.
The philodo has a 27amp controller for each motor and the keteles is 22amps. Probably won't notice that much of a difference but in theory the philodo should have a higher peak power and slightly better acceleration.
LMFAO Your explanation of the gears cracked me up.,... Oh and you may want to check again about the laws before you tell people one thing? Fast Google shows some rules and regs in place for you state.

Thanks for sharing the height for it. Its so important for long term use, You must be comfortable on this bike.

I don't need the tire repair kit or pump. I keep a spare tire in the trunk.

Same bike as keteles k800 pro. Though the kettles is cheaper
I am convinced it is one mother ship manufacturer with a bunch of sister companies selling the same thing with a different name.

The bike is only going fast because you are down hill without throttle it would stillnbe as fast down hill, try on flat and see it throttle goes fast.
