I have the early version of the i7 Pro, same exact color as yours. Mine did not come with turn signals or an electric horn. That would have been nice. I have had the opportunity to own several e-bikes over the last 3 years. The i7 Pro is a very good bike. I'm impressed with the power this bike has. I'm also impressed on how comfortable this bike is to ride, I have a sun tour seat suspension post and a cloud 9 seat, and it is an absolute dream to ride. I did have a minor issue with mine in the beginning, but their customer service was absolutely great! got me all fixed up. The only thing you have to watch for on this bike, is when you are pedaling and go around a turn and you get that pedal on a downstroke it will rub the ground while you were leaning into a turn. But I don't mind that at all, because it gives me proper leg extension from the seat to the pedals to the handlebars. I paid quite a bit more for mine when it first came out. I noticed the Black Friday sales were very good on this bike, along with other e-bikes as well. I feel this is one of those bikes that if you buy it you can't go wrong with it. It is versatile in many ways.
@@timrdude I already had a cloud 9 seat and a sun tour seat suspension post. And I put that setup on any ebike that I ride. It is a very comfortable setup on a bike that does not have rear suspension. It is even better with a bike that does have rear suspension. Anytime I would purchase a different e-bike I would make sure I would have the proper size shim to make this fit. Extremely comfortable.
Nice review. My i7 Pro will be here in a couple days. I’ve looked at all folding bikes on the market. Compared everything. This IS the BEST folding Ebike money can buy.
I agree! I started looking into the 20” E-Bikes a couple of weeks ago and had two bikes that really piqued my interest. The Engwe Engine Pro and the Tesko Hummer. Then this bike popped up a few days ago, and I this is what I am going to get. The 180mm disc brakes and turn signals, as well as good customer service for not much more than the other two brands mentioned above cemented the decision to buy this bike. I currently have a 4 year old Ancheer 26” 250 watt full suspension E Bike, but need the extra power for two hills on my commute to and from work.
I would give this a 9/10. The seat needs to be replaced. No mention of how well the hydraulic brakes worked. Some brand name components, some no-name components. Even with the brand name components getting parts, after a few years, is difficult since they keep changing the designs slightly and only carry enough spares to keep things legal (i.e. the 7 year regulation).
This bike like the Engwe ep2 pro. I don't really like that the throttle is hooked up to the pas level speeds . Also I don't like the function that if you use throttle the cruise turns on after 8 seconds. That setting almost got me killed a couple of times taking your hand off throttle and the bike still flying at red lights . Cruise should have its own button to turn on I'm my opinion
You know that was a really good video and I believe it to be a really good bike I've got one on the way myself but I'm just kind of wondering about the pedal assist it how to adjust them I hope it comes in the manual cuz you can do like a 125 or just 3 or I think there's different ways you can adjust that if they give you the directions on how to do it in the display
I really like your review. The only thing I don't like is that you can't have full power in mode 1, throttle power. It's kind of a bummer you get full power until mode 5. Not a deal breaker. I was watching David Brand New and he said his pedals were kind of close to the ground in the turns. What do you think? Thanks
The pedals (at the lowest) is 4 inches from the ground. The folding e-bike I reviewed before this had pedals 3 inches from the ground (so not sure if this is standard). 4 inches from the ground didn't bother me any. I was still able to lean into turns etc..
Great review. I decided to purchase the Vitilan i7 mainly based on your review. The one problem I'm having is the discount code Heroesnstuff is not working. Let me know if you have another code we can use.
Great video but you made that unfolding look hard and thats with your bigass muscles! Been looking at folding ebikes and this one is on my shortlist, along with Lectric xp 3.0 and Xpremium. Subscribed
Lol! Unfolding wasn't the easiest but it's not that hard. I think this make the folding bike more secure and less shaky. So I guess it's personal preference. I have not used Lectric 3.0 yet. But the one that I used I thought was good for the price. But..I like faster bikes with dual suspension.
Thanks for the thorough review. I noticed the chain came off when unfolding the bike. Why did that happen and does it happen often? How many total miles do u average on 1 charge whether pedaling or not? Have u had any issues at all since filming it and has customer service been ok? TIA
The chain falling off out of the box is pretty normal. I have not had any issue with the chain falling off during riding or any other time. But..I always recommend to take your bike to a bike show before you ride. I usually ride 20 miles (and had 75% percent or so power when I return...but that's with me using pedal assist. Maybe I will do a throttle only range test video on this bike. No issue with the bike so far. As of right now..this is my still my favorite folding e-bike. The only thing to look out for is that the pedal are a little low to the floor...so is you are seriously leaning you would need to make sure that your pedals are parallel. I only like to seriously lean when I am playing around and doing tricks.
This is a great review. I would love to see how it handles a longer up hill ride.. and really how long does the battery last on average. How many charges does a person get? Would you know.. we are regular bikers.. but considering these ebikes for commuting.. Thank you!
I lose about 8 MPH on a 35 degree hill. On my average bike ride (about 20 miles...on different PA modes..average about 20 MPH) I usually lose about 25% of battery life.
At the moment this is my favorite folding bike. Just be careful on the leans because the pedals are a little low. I dont have a problem with it cause I usually have the pedals even when I want to seriously lean.
Thanks for the thorough review, good info here. I used your link to try and buy the bike but looks like your discount code isn't working currently. Any idea if they will enable it again?
Have you already purchase the e-bike? They said now the discount (Heroesnstuff) applies only when you but 2...BUT for you they will apply to only one. But..I will need to know you purchase yet. Feel free to email me heroesnstuff2@gmail.com
@@HeroesNStuff Thanks for the follow up on that, I wanted to wait for you so I haven't ordered yet. Did they mention exactly what the discount is? Regardless I'll reach out to them and let them know you sent me so you'll get the credit.
The Heybike looks awesome. I would have to give it a test ride to choose. But..with my experience with Heybike (the older model)...it doesn't have as many advanced options as the Viitlian i7. It also took longer to get to it's maximum speed.
@@HeroesNStuff I was on the fence about this E-bike but your review gave me the nudge that I needed to pull the purchase trigger. 👍 I used your link but the coupon code isn't working. 🤔
Hey has anybody been able to figure out how to adjust the power of the pedal assist From 1 through 5 or if you wanted to change 1 to 3 have the same bike in the direction book and I just can't seem to figure it out I wish someone would do a video on this to show us how to do it
I may to an update video on this bike an include the advanced settings. I believe advanced setting "A7 - Number of PAS magnets" can adjust the pedal assist.
I can respectfully tell you that all e-bikes are configured nearly the same, regardless of price you are paying. I’ve spent countless hours doing research and have reached this conclusion. The Aventon Sinch has caught my eye for months however it is simply not worth the price tag even with the $200 Black Friday deal.
Thank u man, I think I just like the way the Sinch looks. If u don't mind me asking whats ur favorite folding ebike? I appreciate ur videos, watched almost all of them trying to figure out witch 1 to get. Ready to pull the plug soon and purchase 1
Unfortunately not yet. But if the Sinch really only goes 20 MPH (and 40 Miles per charge)...I would say the price tag is a bit high. I would have to go through the advanced settings to see if it can be modified to go faster. It does have a unique look though.
Ass in leggings aside(good use for click bait btw.) ive been wanting one of these. I was very undecided from a riptide and a vitilan. Who knows. May have my choice now, thanks bro.
@@HeroesNStuff - don't know. I have the Engwe EP-2 Pro which looks almost identical but doesn't have rear suspension.

Thanks for sharing your in-depth experience with this bike.
Oh yeah thank you for a good review. I watched a couple of your reviews I enjoy them
Why did you get a suspension post when theres dual suspension on the I7? Wouldn't the cloud 9 seat be enough?
Also wondering how heavy it is to lift into a trunk, folded? Anything to grab on to?

Love your review. You actually review the bike. Does not seem like a sales pitch.
Def don't do sales pitches. These bike are too expensive for that. lol. Thanks for the comment.
your the firs one who did the throttle test on all 5 modes im very impressed the way you handle it thank you for this awsom review..
Much Appreciated. Thank You
Nice review. My i7 Pro will be here in a couple days. I’ve looked at all folding bikes on the market. Compared everything. This IS the BEST folding Ebike money can buy.
I couldn't disagree with you there. One of the best folding bikes for the price for sure.

I was going to get it as well, until I came across the euy k6 pro😭😭😭 that thing is crazy fast
Best video I have seen on this bike in my opinion thank you so much.i really appreciate it.
Thank you. Much appreciated
Damn.... this was a great review. Really love that you went through it truly thoroughly!
Thank You. Much Appreciated.
very cool and comfortable vehicle, easy to transport and use while traveling
We agree!
Great review, thorough and informative. Love your sense of humor, too. Thanks for putting it together!
Thank You. Much Appreciated
Wow! This is so amazing, I think I wanna have that bike too in the near future.
I just ordered one. I am currently using the original Lectric XP (which is good value) but my back was screaming "get a full suspension."
I would give this a 9/10. The seat needs to be replaced. No mention of how well the hydraulic brakes worked. Some brand name components, some no-name components. Even with the brand name components getting parts, after a few years, is difficult since they keep changing the designs slightly and only carry enough spares to keep things legal (i.e. the 7 year regulation).
thanks for your insight on this
Great video. best review on youtube
Much appreciated. This is still my favorite folding e-bike.
Es una excelente inversión una bicicleta eléctrica al mejor precio, y a disfrutar.
Yes. For the price I think it's an excellent investment indeed.
Would be interesting to see head to head comparison between the Vitilan I7 and the Hanevear H100 dual motor. They are almost same price.
That H100 looks interesting. Thanks for the idea.
Looking at this model and think your review helped me with my decision!! Good review 👍
Glad I could help!
Great review thank you, you covered all the points that mattered to me. The memes throughout your video are pretty funny.
Thanks you for the feedback. Much appreciated.
Great insight from a real guy… on the i7 pro I just ordered one today… same color 😊
Thanks. Hope you enjoy your e-bike.
Fun review from real people! 9.25! What is that 1920’s tune. I love it!
Much Appreciated. The song is called "Sailing Away" by HoliznaCC0

Really great review, I dig your channel. Your wife is absolutely gorgeous! It is a pleasure to watch her ride a bike. You are a lucky man...
Much Appreciated. She is def a keeper.
Made by GDS - same as my Polarna, Engwe, Yamee, no turn signals tho, that's cool
Thanks for the insight. I really like the signals when I am leading E-Bike ride outs?
Great in depth review of this bike. The color and suspension are very nice. How is the bike holding up for you? Definitely on my short list. 9-10
Still my favorite folding bike. Actually about to use here in an hour or so. Lol! Holding up great.
I wish there were more duel suspension bikes on the market
Facts
Really like your video straight to the point and very helpful on making my decision thank you so much
No Problem. Thanks for the feedback. Much appreciated
Super review you all really went into it and informed us with lots of answers 😀
Much Appreciated
This is a great review! How would you compare this to the Starrun full suspension folding bike? It sounds like this one beats it.
This one beats it because of the speed, comfort, and features.
Man...the guest rider destracted me from the review . Great review !
Lol. Thanks for the comment
When you pedal on any PAS level, does the bike govern your speed so you cant really pedal faster than what the PAS level is?
On this bike yes. Some bikes does this better than others.
You know that was a really good video and I believe it to be a really good bike I've got one on the way myself but I'm just kind of wondering about the pedal assist it how to adjust them I hope it comes in the manual cuz you can do like a 125 or just 3 or I think there's different ways you can adjust that if they give you the directions on how to do it in the display
You should be able to adjust the sensitivity and how many PA modes you have in the advanced settings.

Hi, do you think you could fit a passenger on the back, is there like foot pegs or anything that you can install or make yourself?
I honestly don't think so. This rear rack can only carry around 50 pounds. Also the pedals are kinda of close to the rear rack.

So does it go over 30mph and do you have to in settings to unlock?
I can hit 31 with no problem. Don't think it can be unlocked to go faster than that.
Great video. I cannot wait to get mine. It should be here in a week.
At the moment this is my favorite folding bike. Just be careful on the leans because the pedals are a little low. I dont have a problem with it cause I usually have the pedals even when I want to seriously lean.
