Wow, it’s for sure a thing of beauty , I’d ask about a torque sensor but from what I’d been hearing R1U has got the cadence sensor locked down, I’m still watching for ride1up to do a MoshCty style bike, hint hint, cuz I know they can do it, great coverage.
Nicely done condensed reviews. I'm on the search for an Ebike for my wife and I for country roads and rail trails. I'm looking at this price point of under $2k. I like the idea of the Torque sensor over the Cadence but not sure if in the long run will it matter. The bigger question is, for high mileage usage should I be looking at Direct Drive? Not sure how long Hub drives last. I also came across another brand, Freesky not seeing much reviews on, like the Swith Horse and Wild Cat. Like to hear your thougths or give us a review. Thanks
The Eahora Juliet got considerably more watt hours to the dollar compared to the Wildeway FW11S. I would be interested to see Micah reviewing the amazing Eahora Juliet. Under $2k and got nearly 3 kilowatt hours.
@@craigerskine3609 They are great long range electric bikes. Aniioki A8 Pro Max 52V60Ah model ($2,300) $2,300/3,120 watt hours = $0.737/Wh Aniioki A8 Pro Max 48V60Ah model ($2,000) $2,000/2,880 watt hours = $0.694/Wh Eahora Juliet 48V60Ah ($1,900) $1,900/2,880 watt hours = $0.660/Wh The lower the price per 1 single watt hour means the better the value and better bang for the bucks. It seems like the Eahora Juliet provides the most for its price but the other 2 electric bikes are amazing too.
Great review Mike! I have the Aventon Aventure 1 and love it, but I would purchase this one over it for a little more money! Really outstanding fat tire e-bike the Rift is!
It’s the most beautiful ebike so far but…. I don’t like the headlight or thumb throttle but the rear rack is awesome and the battery reminds me of the hyper ebike I had unfortunately
Twist grip all day. Why companies choose thumb over twist is mind boggling to me. These fat tire bikes are essentially scooters. Has anyone ever seen thumb throttles on anything two wheeled prior to 2016ish? Total gimmick. Thumbs up for the channel, not the bike. I mean if you've seen one fat tire bike you've seen them all. Just give it a new name and run with it.
As bad as it sounds , you get used to it pretty quickly . I got few ebikes and some have twist throttle and some have thumb throttle , just got to a point that i don't find one way superior over another.
@@pddellow I said it looked ugly not fat. I don't understand why all these bikes have to look like this. It's like nobody else knows how to make a bike frame other than one company and everybody uses it and it's ugly.
@@steve_main Because many of them come from the same few factories in China. Some brands just slap their brand on the bikes, others customize a bit and make something a bit higher quality and unique. No need to pay for all the R&D.

I like the military green color a lot.

The Aniioki A8 Pro max is about the same price comes with the same huge battery and a anti theft system, fob.

What type of controller does this bike have ? Candence or Torque?
They use current based cadence sensors which are better than regular cadence sensors. They're smoother. They have a description on their website
Should I get ride one up rift or the Heybike brawn?

Hows the customer service?
Too bad they use a cadence sensor instead of a torque sensor like it's competition. Otherwise I would buy it.
I wish the battery was user upgradable. That's the only thing keeping me from getting one of these or the cafe cruiser.
What do you mean? You can just buy a new battery if you need to
Avelebal to India ??
Can I ride it underwater?
plus tex and its by 2k
Should I sell my $1,799 Kepler for this one? I can't find a reason.. But it is cool to have a way to ride a light person on back. ✌😎
Can the stem be adjusted and how tall are you?
Mike troll is pretty short.
this vs adventure 2?
84lbs is heavy man.
95nm
Definitely don't run out of juice!
Hovsco and aventon better with torque sensor
Not crazy about the built in rack, adds weight and could potentially weaken the frame in those spots

I have a twist throttle bike and thumb throttle I actually prefer thumb throttle in most cases
I have bikes with both thumb and twist throttle. I prefer the thumb throttle myself.
It's so easy to pedal though you may as well.
Left side thumb throttle ? Really ?
Too much $
no torquesensor... no buy
It’s a lose how they gonna release a powerful 52v then drop down inn numbers for a release after that smh
Range is terrible. 👎🏼
Why do they have to make such ugly bikes!!
look at all the other models they have.. They are gorgeous.. this is a fat tire bike.. that is part and partial to the name duh!
