This bike looks like a winner for hunters and campers. A lot more bike than a Quietkat for less money. They did some nice, thoughtful touches with tow hooks, lots of threaded mounts, and 2nd battery connection. This bike looks well set up for woods use except for the flimsy tires. I like it.
You did it! You found the all around bike for me. Will go like the WW2 army motorcycle but quiet and electric. Good for camping, hunting, and as a normal ebike. Dual motors and batteries, plus all the attachment points can hold other batteries and a small power station for recharging anywhere.
Top notch review !!! This bike is perfect for hunting. No need to go fast. I have had other ebikes for hunting. One with rear suspension very disappointing couldn’t get a rack to work. To be able to stand upright is great. Leaning over handle bars was never pleasant on a more conventional frame. I really feel this bike was designed by hunters. The pros: Step through. Wide wheels. Heavy spokes Front fork design. Dual hub (selectable). Front and rear rack. Torque sensing. Handle bar design. Heavy duty. Headlight. Chain tensioner. Suspension seat. Rear fender clearance. Accessories mounts. Trailer tow hooks PRICE PRICE !!! Cons: No front fender. Center kickstand. Conector for battery exposed. PAS selection. Reality,these cons are crazy easy work arounds. I can figure something out on a fender maybe a splash guard on battery pack with velcro. Kickstand, just replace it. Battery connector, e-tape will fix that. PAS selection, i leave mine in any one position most of the time. I cant believe some of the lame reviews. I have looked at alot of bikes. This awesome review convinced me. Mine will be here tomorrow.
@kenn1320 The bike far has exceeded my expectations. I am super pumped about it. I have e-bike friends and family that have ridden it as well. They were very Impressed. I have reached out to customer service about a possible battery issue. They have sent a new one out, no questions asked. I like it better than Quite Kat. They even corrected some things fr the results of this video review. I really like the center kickstand. They have installed a port for battery connector with rubber plug. The price was awesome for the product. This beast climbs a very impressive slope, made me nervous. I have come up with a great option for a front fender. I was able to go into settings and adust the top speed. There is more pluses by far. All and all I wouldn't change a thing. It was very hard to make a blind purchase, I had never done that before.
I think EMTBs for hunting are great. I have an E-CELLS Super MonarchCrown 2 wheel drive,2 batteries, Dual suspension with Tektro Dorado 4 piston brakes on 201 mm rotors that are 2.3 mm thick. Shimano DeOre 10 speed gearing plus 9 pedal assist levels. I use it for hunting here in Nevada where covering ground is theme of the game in hunting. My bike can carry 400 pounds including my weight. My bike costs $5,100. from Pharump Nevada, 50 miles north of Las Vegas. Great quality bike
I ride up and down mountains in the Yukon using AWD ebikes. The primary motor I use is the front, as it is better for weaving in between trees stumps and boulders. Where you point is where you go. At least one of those motors should have Regen for a hunting bike especially hauling a trailer . Saves on brake pads and is more maneuverable on steep hills.
Excellent review! Thank you. My only concern is the lack of a front fender. It seems like that will be a problem when riding on wet ground. Do you think it will be possible to add an after-market front fender?
@charlesschulz5819 it actually might be difficult to add a front fender. normally they attached to the forks and the point where they attached is really high up on this bike
I was able to install a threaded tube insert for bikes. I bought an aftermarket snow fenders. With some fender washers and longer bolt it works great. Looks like it belongs on there. Easy removal for battery removal is something to do before removal for charging. No biggie though.
Drive modes on my Philodo H8 are really simple... if you pedal it's in Rear drive only, if you use the throttle it's in AWD with both motors, there is no front drive only.
It looks ok, but there are a few hard tail versions of a dual motor ebikes. this one is made sturdy. as is when compared to the others (?) my opinion is maybe $1,900 usd delivered price yeah Id change out the things you mention. I dont really need a front rack, so bye to that, the center stand? (prolly good on a hard level surface) wont find too many places hard n level out in the woods, oops. yeah the side kickstand will be a good thing to put on (of course it didnt on my trail bikes have, heavy duty, tipsy on uneven ground ;) ) Im thinking they will fix the drive modes [I would hope so] the early 4x4 was kinda involved too, but it worked. [yup I left mine in 4x4 most of the time] not a game changer, but a nice thing for those that want to shift on the move. Me? Id likely leave it in dual drive most of the time, as it is a bit inconvenient to go thru the change process a lot. {im sure they will get too many service calls and change it because of that.} nice to see it in the dirt, there are too many vids of ebikes on pavement. yeah I have a couple ebikes that are pavement princess and they are fine for that purpose. but yeah a fat tire ebike is foe gravel/dirt and no across the lawn is not really "off" road [IMO] lol
UL Listed?? - will this ebike (Battery) be legal in New York? You do an amazing job reviewing these ebikes. It would be great for many of us if you started including safety standard certifications. At least for the Battery packs (UL2271).
To the best of my knowledge it is Not UL certified. I dont see any stickers on the bike and don't see the claim anywhere on their website so i would say its not.
@darinsmith2458 honestly I thought it was fine as a hardtail, when I was doing off-road riding, I was just crawling along at 5 to 10 mph didn't really need rear suspension
No front mudguard. The cable from the front hub probably become broken fast. 25ah battery it's not big. The front fork look cheap same like my one from Allixpress. The spokes are thick. Chain tension-er it's too far away from the chain ring. The cable for extra battery hanging out unsecured. 2x 750watt it's not strong enough for heavy person. 25amp also it's not strong. The 25ah battery will be drained so fast by this two 750watt hubs. Probably after one year every day usage the battery will lost half life. I know it from own experience. As a person who building his own Enduro bicycle i can say this bike it's only good for commuting in city and out city and shopping.

Love all the hunting specific features
That looks like a sweet bike!
Great video...... any chance of reviewing E-Cells 5 star bike, maybe against Wired Freedom?
I've been wondering about this myself
Thank you

Another great review.
Which trail system is that? I'm SW of downtown.
Very informative

Frame looks suspiciously like the zebra😉
THE HOOKS ON THE BOTTOM ARE FOR A TRAILER. I ONLY KNOW BECAUSE I WON THE TRAILER FOR MINE

Do these have the Bafang motors on the front and rear? Thanks for the review
@@dondammert shengyi motors
Does this out perform the wired cruiser in a hunting scenario? Is it really that much bigger than the cruiser?
i would say yes, better for hunting, more cargo capacity, AWD will be helpful offroad and also for carrying heavy loads.
How loud is the bike?
Hey, great video! Any chance you could do a review of the Lectric Xpress 750?
@kbarnes0 ill be getting the Xpress bike later this week
If they offered the option to un-limit speed to 35 mph, I would buy 2 of them.
I was able to adjust mine to 30mph in the advanced settings. It works great.
This Birch is AWESOME! Any EU Dealer or Amazon link (EU warehouse) ?? :-)

Oh hell no! No Shock on the rear is a Hard NO for me.
No rear shock is a deal killer for me
@@JoeJones-sm6yhI was worried about no rear shock as well. The seat and the crazy fork travel has really impressed me. I love the bike
What hub motors are they using? They’re not bafang
Shengyi Motors
Can I get this with thinner tires?
@celestialtl no they don't have that option, and you definitely could not put a thin tire on that extra wide rim
Do you think it should be full suspension?
@darinsmith2458 honestly I thought it was fine as a hardtail, when I was doing off-road riding, I was just crawling along at 5 to 10 mph didn't really need rear suspension
@@CitizenCycle925 thank you
No front mudguard.
The cable from the front hub probably become broken fast.
25ah battery it's not big.
The front fork look cheap same like my one from Allixpress.
The spokes are thick.
Chain tension-er it's too far away from the chain ring.
The cable for extra battery hanging out unsecured.
2x 750watt it's not strong enough for heavy person.
25amp also it's not strong.
The 25ah battery will be drained so fast by this two 750watt hubs.
Probably after one year every day usage the battery will lost half life. I know it from own experience.
As a person who building his own Enduro bicycle i can say this bike it's only good for commuting in city and out city and shopping.
I'm giving You a courtesy thumbs up. All this dual motor dual battery stuff is of no real interest to Me. Have fun.
Surprised u didn't get a flat
I believe they come with the tannus inserts/tubes.
Wow .. well thats surprising. @kenn1320
