KELLYS THEOS F90 First Impressions!

- Опубліковано 13 жов 2021
- After a long wait, Kelly's Theos f90 is finally here! I got mine yesterday and figured it would be a good idea to make a quick video about it.
Kelly's promo video: • THE ALL-NEW KELLYS THE... - Спорт
I've pulled out the battery, measured it and made some photos. It has a small bike bottom fender screwed onto it so I'll provide measurements for both with the fender and without the fender.
Battery without fender: 43cm long, 9cm wide and 7cm tall.
Battery with fender: 58cm long, 13cm wide and 10cm tall.
It weights 3.8kg with the fender (without it could be something like 3.7kg or 3.6kg as it's super light).

thank you from Truckee California
Great bike. You had me laughing when you said (maybe I shut up so you can just look at the bike) thank buddy enjoy the bike
Awesome bike. Greetings from Poland 🙂
Wow it actuallyu looks as good as it looked on paper. Glad to know it does actually exist. Cant wait to get mine :)
Hehe yeah. My father also ordered one. He did a few rides on mine and was super impressed.
@@Varkreker where bro?
Hello how did you get on with the Theo’s f90
My frame cracked
Just found out the shifter beeping sound can be easily turned on/off from the menu.
After a bit of more riding, I found out you need to do a little bit more preload on the rear suspension as more weight is put on that by default. I'd say the front is for the initial jump impact and the rear takes most of the bumps during normal riding.
The major win seems to be the geometry. My brother has the Focus Jam2 and even with just one battery it feels heavier (while it's not) and less agile. I had a Bafang powered bike before and this feels like a huge upgrade so far!
Let's see how it goes after more riding.
always setup suspension per SAG not per weight. weight is just a starting indicator.
Congrats on a bad ass bike
Thanks for the video. Very nice bike! Not sure we will ever see it here in the USA though.
How much did you pay?
Hi, has the bike been reliabe and it quiet on trails?
I have only like 300km so far but very quiet and so far reliable. Battery capacity is just great! Always have big reserves.
This bike only comes in two sizes? M and L? I'm only 163cm tall so I wonder if this will be too large for me.
Yep, that's what we know so far. The M version with some modifications could be perhaps suitable for you but not sure. The L in the stock form is definitely too large for a 175cm person (tried that). It's rideable but not the best.
Thanks for posting this I'm waiting for mine to arrive in the UK
Show us some trail vids
Has your bike arrived? Interested in purchasing but not available to order anywhere! Thanks
@@ianpearson5897 no still waiting
What 24 kg?? I think and I read 22kg ?? 🤔 I wait from 09-2020 for my Theos F90 😖
Hi, When you buy a bike in a physical store, they usually give you a good discount. Could you tell me how much it cost you exactly? (It's my dreams ebike)
I got a discount as the store owners are friends but since ordering it (mid 2020) everything went up a lot so they were hesitant with giving a bigger discount as that would mean zero profit for them.
@@Varkreker I understand, anyway in Spain there is no Kellys distributor, so I will have to wait, but I would like to know how much you have paid for it, with all the discounts applied.
@@alejandromartos5610 Yeah I understand. However, since the bike is super new and not widely sold I'd like to keep this info private for now.
However, you can view the dealer's price on their site: www.sportservis.sk/horske-celoodpruzene-e-bicyke/kellys-theos-f90-2927.5-720wh-2021/ I got the 18" frame from the picker. Deduce some discount and you'll arrive at the price. :)
Would love to make a vide with you guys soon, suer cool bike !
Awesome Bike Dude! I waiting for mine, too.
can you please tell me the diameter of the seatpost clamp?
I want to buy the lupine C14 Backlight which replace the seatpost clamp.
much appreciate. RIDE ON!
Ahoj, kde viem zakúpiť tie gumičky na uchytenie káblov čo máš na volante?
Ináč bike je brutálny!!
Ahoj. Tie tam boli od vyroby, takze netusim. :D
You can save lot of weight with tyre change. Its ideal upgrade for the future. Bike will be even lighter. -1.5kg should be no problem.
Yeah, at least the front. It's quite tiring to go fast with this huge tractor tire. It's probably for super hard rocky terrain which we don't have much of around.
Those Schwalbe Eddy's are heavy as hell. A change would lighten up the bike like you said and help with acceleration as well.
Please stop telling BS. If you do -1.5kg you would be magician.
Nice video👍🏻 hope the foot is better by now. How about a second one that shows how the bike rides on the trail? 💪🏻
Yes, much better, thanks! Hmm, I've never done a riding video. 😅
But I can tell you it rides very well! Even though I'm super amateur, I'm almost able to keep pace with my brother who has a trial bike (Focus Jam2) as the geometry of Kelly's is just really good. Smaller jumps and "scary" trails become almost nothing. You just throw yourself, keep holding the handlebars and go.
Also, sometimes I forget it's an ebike. It doesn't feel like one. Only when I forget to turn the bike on I can feel how untrained my legs are 😂 you can easily keep pace with any XC riders up hills (while the battery lasts for ever) and then you gotta wait for them on the way down 😁
@@Varkreker Thanks for the reply. You know that you actually made the first and only video of this bike until now, there are no reviews not even pictures of this bike on the internet😎So I think people are interested in the bike and even in the opinions and experiences of an „amateur“, so keep on posting mate 😅
@@MTB_Luxembourg I know, that's why I rushed to make it (next day I picked it up) to be the first :D. I think I'll try to do the second video over the weekend but we'll see.
Just did the first service after 210km. Nothing major, a few squeaks here and there (mostly seat but we just fastened the bolts). The frame got a tiny paint scratch due to brake cable scrubbing against it (didn't notice). We put a transparent protective sticker there and moved the cables so no biggie.
I don't really understand that bottle cage placement though. If I use let's say 750ml bottle which is longer, am I supposed to hit my balls every time i get out of saddle or what :D ..otherwise the design and geometry seems nice and very up-to-date. Enjoy.
I'm 188cm tall and if I wear normal cycling spandex I don't even notice it. However, when I wore regular trousers they touched the top of the bottle a bit when dismounting the bike. I have a large bottle though (around 750ml or a bit more). I think we can be glad it's even there. Some bikes like these don't even have the mount. I guess you can always use a water bag.
He He, fill warm Tea or Coffee in your bottle and you will get an egg warmer. :)
Any more updates
Thank you so much for finally showing this Bike in real! I hope i get it finally next month too. But im little dissapointed about the weight. You said 24 kg. Kellys promised me last month on the telephone that the weight in Large is exactly 22,4kg and i thought with lighter tires i can bring it to 21kg. :( Can you please make a video about to remove the Battery and the Battery Size? I want to buy a Bagpack for it an Kelly didnt reply about this Question.
It's 24kg with the footpegs (they were not included when the bike arrived) but I doubt they are more than like 1kg. I also bought the little front mud fender but it's plastic should shouldn't weight too much. Not sure what else could be causing the additional weight. Maybe my weight scale is off? I can try to re-weight it again.
Yeah, I can remove the battery and measure it. Will reply later.
Do you stil have this bike???
Nope. Build myself one from China, Dengfu E55 frame with Bafang M620. I wanted more power 😂
How do you feel about the bike after 3 months? 😊
Let me tell you after two more months once I ride it more. :P
@@Varkreker What are you waiting for 😜?
You didn't mention the materials or the method used to manufacture the frame
It has been talked about in a lot of other places. Just wanted to show the bike quickly
@@Varkreker thanks for your reply. I asked as it’s the focal point of this particular bike.
@@karlwilliams8208 yeah. I'm not sure I fully understand the materials and processes used to make it so didn't want to talk bullshit.
Ahoj aká to je veľkost rámu ?
L. Ja mam 188 a sedí mi to super.
First! :D
Raise your hand if you are also in USA looking for a place to buy this bike 😂
6:15 turn clutch lever to on because now is off😁
Sorry, what do you mean? :D Is there anything I should configure on the rear derailleur?
@@Varkreker That lever should be flicked up, not down. It's a clutch to stop the chain flapping around. Down when you want to take the chain off etc.
@@benoc9966 ah, good to know, thanks!
Pekne
8000 euro…nice
Kde jsi ho koupil?
To si kúpil namiesto motorky? :)
Nazdar. Ale čoby, práve preto na tom jazdím malo lebo som si medzi tým kúpil tenere 700, beta 300rr a akurát pokukujem po beta Evo trial 😂
@@Varkreker tak kúpim od teba ten bike 😅
How did this guy get one 😳
Friends of friends of Kellys. But we ordered 2 of them and still waiting for the second one.
Hír...děs běs..
Quite bad "first impression" video, this bike deserves better ;)
To je čo za promo? To si robíte srandu?
To není žiadne promo, ale recenzia môjho bajku. Keď sa nepáči nemusíš to pozerať.
What 24 kg?? I think and I read 22kg ?? 🤔 I wait from 09-2020 for my Theos F90 😖
You can put lighter tires , because these are super heavy but good. You can save a Lot of weight.
