Great Video. I have been wanting a 20 inch tire ebike to take on vacation and travel. I have 2 Aventon Aventure 2 models and love them but they are a hassle to travel with and get them into the rooms, elevators etc. Aventon has the sinch 2 but it needs some work like a 750 watt motor and hydraulic rakes but their torque sensors are some of the best,
Hey there! Thanks for the positive feedback! If you like torque sensors, AIMA currently has one of the best at this price point, imo. I think you’ll be super impressed with it you pick one of these up.
Please try in bigger longer hills so we can get a better idea of the power. I looking for a bike that has power if you need it.
Hey there! Will do! I've been looking for some better places locally, Houston is not known for its long hills. :P
That’s helpful. On the Mokwheel I believe the max speed limit can be raised to like 60 (of course you will never get that high). But at least you can crank it as fast as it will go. From other YT videos it looks like you can get it to the mid-30’s.
Can confirm the Mokwheels make it super easy to get 30+ MPH, but with the AIMA bikes, you CAN still do this, however, you have to take it into one of their dealers, and most of them have a special dongle that marries up to the Bafang controller, where you can unlock it to go faster. An extra step but it is doable. My local shop just picked one of those up, and I look forward to unlocking mine in the next week or so.
I love Cypress Creek. I just test rode this bike today and trying to make a decision. I think your video made me decide to buy it. How long will the battery last with your riding style in the video?
Nice! Yeah this bike is pretty sweet! I’d say you should really get 35-50 miles per charge on it. 35 for basic riding, some throttle, and then if you’re really trying to be efficient, you could probably get 50ish miles with a low level of pedal assist, especially since the torque sensor here is tuned so well.
Can you comment on the off road maneuverability? Is there much difference between the sport and the 25"
20” is a bit more maneuverable, but there’s a better attack angle with the 26” wheels. I’d say both have their pros and cons, and both are decent off road choices in my opinion.
Wish it came foldable
Yeah a folding AIMA would be a sweet Ebike!
Nice review. I was between a Mokwheel Basalt ST and an Aventure 2 but saw this bike in the dealership as well and am trying it next week. I preferred the Basalt over the two above, hoping I like the Sport even better! Do you have the ability to unlock the speed limit or intensity in the display like the other two? Any final thoughts on the Sport?
Yeah the sport, or the Aima Big Sur are great choices. The torque and power curve on the Aima bikes beat out the Mokwheel and Aventon bikes, imo. If you can ride all 3 back to back, would be curious to see what you think about it. Sport is great. If your local dealer has one, I’d jump on it, because they’re currently on preorder all over the place.
The only downside I see is the speed is limited to 20mph and you cannot unlock this to go any higher. That is a deal breaker for me unfortunately.
@@gores95 Hi. I'm curious to understand what you mean by "unlock". I just purchased the Sport and even with average effort I can get over 20 MPH with PAS 2. I'm pretty sure none of the bikes you mentioned will go over 20 MPH on just throttle alone.
On a Mokwheel or Aventon you are able to go into the settings and make the speed limit higher and also raise the intensity level. My understanding is you cannot do this on the Big Sur bikes. This is what the e-bike dealer told me.
@@gores95 I didn’t know that was an option. The only thing I was told was that settings could be changed on some e-bikes but not that it would allow you to go 28+. Example, I tested the Pedego brand for a bit and their system allows you to limit speed and PAS which is a pretty neat feature if you plan to allow a minor to use the bike, but again never any mention of increasing speed beyond 28 MPH.
I looked at the display on my AIMA Sport and MPH and PAS are grayed out/locked at 28 MPH and PAS 5.
Did you did a range test on the 26" to compare with this one. And perhaps this one being lighter at 74lbs compare to 82lbs on the 26" you get slightly better range...
100% agree with the thesis here! I'll have to put a day aside in the next few weeks to get some real range testing down, instead of relying on brand-provided ranges, and some simple math formulas.
Any idea what the torque is? I didn’t see anything on their site.
I would say 90-95 Nm if I had to guess. It feels much torquier than the Mokwheels (Scorias) which are listed as having 90 Nm of torque. I think it's the full fit of Bafng components (computer, controller, motor) that make the AIMA bikes work so well. The power curve on the Sport and on the bigger Big Sur are to dang smooth! A ton of people never leave PAS 1 because it's just that good. Would highly recommend getting to your local dealer to try one out for yourself if you can!
Thanks. Have you tried a Pedego Element? If so, how would you say they compare. This seems pretty similar to their Platinum model except that theirs allows you to switch between torque and cadence sensor options.
@@adriannap.9714 I have actually - here’s my review of it. You know the platinum was pretty decent, but if I had to say one was smoother than the other, I’d give the edge to the Big Sur. IMO they’re underpriced for what ya get. ua-cam.com/video/ztLWeDx-ksg/v-deo.htmlsi=czD47FqkxyRO8YpD
@@Ennovationjust wanted to come back and confirm I purchased the bike yesterday. Great first ride!
This or the lectric 3.0 XP?
I’ve ridden both, and unless you NEED the folding capabilities of the Lectric, I’d take the Big Sur all day. So many upgrades and excellent geometry here. If you can test one at a local bike shop, would highly recommend!
Any idea if you could get a rear cushion for the "occasional" wife hopping on the back?
For sure! Tons of third party pads that would be able to attach to the rear rack. Now, it’s only rated for 60lbs, but I’m sure it could hold more than that for some “occasional” wifing;)
@@Ennovation ha! Thanks
