SONDORS MXS Review - $1.7k
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 тра 2020
- The MXS is a bold and powerful mountain bike spin on the classic SONDORS design, standing out from the crowd with bright colors and the iconic triangle battery compartment, available online-only in North America and covered by a one-year comprehensive warranty. A Mozo air suspension fork provides a solid 130mm of travel up front, the suspension seatpost adds some comfort to the hardtail design, Maxxis plus-sized tires with boost hub spacing provide strength and stability. Smooth and intuitive shifting across 7 speeds from the Shimano Altus derailleur combined with a RevoShift half-grip shifter, cassette gear range is low for an eMTB and may struggle with steep inclines, stellar stopping power from Tektro hydraulic disc brakes. A massive 840wh battery paired with the 750-watt Bafang rear hub motor provides plenty of power for steep inclines and high speeds, but that power and the presence of a throttle will limit trail access, only available in one size so it may not fit some riders well.

So it will work with the throttle at 28 mile per hour? Is it just up to me to make the change because the law or will it not work until I unplug the throttle?
would you say the Sonders XS is Better than the Fold XS?
On the suspension you mentioned 130mm of travel on it so what does that mean if you go past the 130 mm?
Yeah, it will work up to 28 just throttle, you just make that change in the settings and don’t have to do anything else but it is illegal and EBR will not recommend you to do anything illegal.
@@MrVizziato23 130 millimeters is the total length of travel, it won't go any further down than that which is about 5 inches.
I’ve had my MXS for about 9 months. Love it. Super fast. Top speed on flat road 28mph. Range is around 40 per charge.
What is the max speed for throttle can u break the law and go 28 mph on throttle or 20 only?
So yes?
Only 40? What is your riding style? Do u ride using throttle only a lot
Ram s So my rides are generally 90 minutes to two hours. Income home with 1 or 2 bars left so not for sure exact range until dead battery. I am 200 pounds but rarely use throttle. Mainly peddle assist 2/3
I will get mine in July. I plan to ride 65% City commute (Pavement, pavement trails), 25% simple dirt trails, and 10% Ruff dirt trails. It's the 10% ruff dirt trails I'm not sure of. Any experience with the MXS on ruff trails???
I just got mine in the mail tonight and am at a park bench typing this up. Cool bike, e-bikes are a lot of fun and you get some good blood flow too! Ummm, 2 things, 1. The color looks wayyy better in person than in any photo I have seen and 2. The tires look way beefier in person and the overall bike just looks great. My Roomate is an artist and loves fashion and art and all that and he kept complimenting it as he looked it over today which was a good thing cuz he normally has something negative to say haha 😛
I bought this bike a week ago. PROS speed, EV, powerful battery, well-built. CONS. Really heavy (68 lb).
overall. I love it
ride report please
Thinking about getting this. Super awesome review!! Thanks dude
I have one for 2 years it’s super good trust me it’s fun
I really appreciate the hard work put into this video. "A full review" a long time waiting for this. I have been searching for a few months and all the videos are 3 minutes in length, shots of riding the bike and no real explination of the bike. Thank you so much for this.
Thank you for commenting, I'm glad it was helpful! That's what we're here for :)
Thanks for putting in the 9 settings, I put those in on the bike and really enjoy it now. I’ve only owned it for about 24 hours now but I like those settings you mentioned, or, the tan blonde fellow mentioned. Glad I watched this a few months ago and saved those settings in my phone just in case I bought that bike which I did and am out riding from city to city right now. Possibly will buy a backup battery but tonight I have done 10 miles and still show 5 out of 5 bars on the battery meter
Just ordered mine today.... Can't wait...
I own thee Sondors. Best bang for the buck hands down👍🏼
How has it held up?
I've watched this review like 10 times awesome bike I just purchased the mxs in graphite now I just have to wait until July this review was excellent and definitely influenced my decision to buy a sondors
Sean, what made you go with Black? I was so back and forth about that, settled on Torch...
@@vpuentes1956 I just ordered mine as well for delivery in October. I decided on the torch as well after going back and forth between the graphite. How do you enjoy the bike?/ I currently have a Lectric XP fat tire, and wanted a full size bike with suspension and off-road capabilities. Nothing hardcore but just something moderate. What top speed have you guys gotten up to after unlocking the motor? I was getting between 28-32mph unlocked speed on my Lectric.
@@sozo_jamma1593 : No problem reaching out and you have come to the right person. I also did an absolute ton of research before I pulled the trigger. The bike is a "BEAST"! I live in Northern, VA, and right outside my house are trails, trails, and more trails!! I started out buying the bike under the follows 60% pavement, 30% gravel/fire road/flat dirt trails, and 10% rocks, tree roots trails. I am 5' 10" and 220 pounds this 750 Watt Bafang motor is amazing and I haven't found any trail around my house it can't handle. So now here is how I ride 60% gravel/fire roads/flat dirt and some small rock trails, and 35% pavement, and 5% hasty roots and rock trails. At the end of the day buy the Torch, not Graphite! The Sondors MXS is a tremendous amount of fun to ride and also handle the terrain. The limitation of MXS is the front fork, just not made for jumping if that is your thing. Yes to everything else. If you want to talk with me send e-mail to puentesvic@gmail.com. I'll give you my number. Semper Fi Vic
@@vpuentes1956 I may take up your offer! I'll be in touch with you this week. Thanks for the help and look forward to talking more in the future!!
@@sozo_jamma1593 Anytime I clearly understand and have been through your process. You need to know before you put your money out there!!! Semper Fi Vic
Good sound, especially near a beach.
Chapeau, stay safe 🙏
I’ve got the Sondors step. The build quality is great. Pedal assist works like a true pedal assist- does not overpower the rider; you still get to feel like you’re pedaling a bike. I’m sure this one is the same. I had a rad mini and sold it.
Great review.
Great review thanks!
I have one …..I love it!! Thank you for the video..!
Great review- thanks
Love the helmet intro! 💓
I like these type of videos where you show more riding than talking. Thanks
Thanks for the feedback! I’ll keep adding more ride footage and work on my camera angles too 😎
Just be thankful it's not Mikey.
@@cpoul Who's Mikey?
Amazing review! Is the batter box waterproof 100% in heavy rain?
It would be nice if EBR rated what they review. 1-5 Stars
Bought one in part due to this great review!
Thanks Christopher, glad it was helpful!
ride report
What do you recommend for someone that wants to do some jumps and mostly grass/dirt terrain? I have a Segway x 260 so nothing that off-road or expensive
what would sway you to buy the fold xs vs the xs? Trying to deside prior to buying for my wifes B-day.
Can i get this in the UK🇬🇧?? Looks really nice i want to get one
I don’t think so. Go to sondors.com and you can call them and ask
Just bought one,waiting for it to arrive. Do you know if they are still using all same equipment now and is fit and finish still as good lately? Just as little nervous never seeing in person.
How is your kickstand? It looks like it's kinda short . I'm actually looking for a kickstand that would support my 27 inch bike
Can u still get a good workout in on this bike how does it handle rouger terrains
8:13 - The order of the components is a little off. The break lever might be a little too far left inward IMO. Shouldn't the brake lever be right next to the grip? Or will that push the thumb throttle too far?
love this Bike!
My Thin model lcd went out after 400 miles no speedo or odo. Everything else works??
Hello Im looking to buy the sondors rockstar mid-drive ebike was wondering what you think of it?? I didn’t see any videos on it.
It looks awesome, but we'll have to wait and see what the actual final product looks like. I did reach out to SONDORS about reviewing it but haven't heard back :(
Sondors MXS: First I want to give a huge thanks to EBR for making their video on this bike! I have bought one for July shipment, because of this video and others giving us the low down on the bike. However, for me here is where the EBR video and other videos fall short. Here are my plans for this bike 70% commuter bike (riding pavement), 20% simple flat dirt trails, and 10% downhill dirt trails. It's the 10% downhill that I haven't seen addressed anywhere. The bike is listed and has tires as a mountain bike. Nothing out there on this aspect of this bike. I by no means a mountain bike downhiller, just a retired Marine at 63 yrs old. However, I like from time to time to just go out and get some! I do understand the bike weights 65lbs and bikes meant for this type of riding usually weight about half this weight and gear-drive trains for this. So the MXS will not handle as great for downhill, but can it take some beating of this type of riding? The Bike has front air suspension, seat suspension, mountain bike tries, and if necessary for uphill climb a 750-watt motor. Don't expect the rear-drive cassette with 7 gears to get my 220-pound body up the hill alone.
When I get my Sondors Torch MXS in July if there isn't any video out on this aspect. I will make and address this.....
In the meantime... Help Help Help from anyone who can shed any light here.

Vic from: Springfield, VA
@@ProffesorBlue Thanks for the info.... I joined the Sondors MXS owners group and received a lot of great info on the bike from them. I also know about the Sondors Rockstar. Because I bought an MXS from them for July shipment, I received an early look at their three new bike line up. Yes, the new Rockstar is a full-suspension mountain bike, still, no prototype and the release date is 29 June. I'm sure more info to follow after the 29 June release date (You will be able to see the three new bikes on the Sondors web site that date). Here is the number one concern; I cancel my July shipment of the MXS for the Rockstar that's to ship in Oct. Sondors I'm told has a habit of sliding delivery dates. So now the Oct shipment starts to slide and I end up with no bike till Christmas? I live in Springfield, VA, and it starts to get cold in Nov. I had the chance to speak to about 20 different Sondors MXS owners who just "LOVE" the bike. If you go to the Sondors MXS owner's group page, there are videos' of this bike in more action than EBR could review. They did a great job of showcasing the MXS parts and a ride at the beach. However; I'm seeing the MXS is much, much more, and a beast in power. I didn't find any owner who said the MXS can't handle ruff trails. Plenty said Vic I ride the MXS as a Hardtail mountain bike with no issues. A few said don't expect to take the MXS on very serious rocky Arizona type trails, but anything else to go for it!
So all that being said and videos showing riding up and down hills, I'm all in!! I'll leave the extreme mountain biking to others who need the full suspension and mid-drive motor.
I also want to put out a very special thanks to Court for his time helping me out by answering all my 100 questions. Super nice guy who knows his stuff on electric Bikes!!
I hope this helps others looking into the Sondors MXS mountain bike. I know it's hard to buy a bike, site un-seen, can't sit on it, can't ride it, can't go to the local bike shop and see one first hand, and have to depend and videos and reading. This is the same thing I went through, but if you're going to spend your hard-earned money. Spend the time to research and I mean research, even be a pain but get your answers. $1,699.00 is not just chump change, but a good price compared to other e-bikes costing a lot more. The only bike I could find close to this price and from a great Company out of San Diego, CA was from FLX in their Gladiator for $1, 499,00. I bought their new touring e-bike the Baby Maker for $1,500.00.
I hope this all helps anyone.....

How did you find the same stick to rest the XS on?? Amazing. Wait, maybe these were done on the same day. Yeah, that must be it.
Yep, same day!
Do you get any hamstering on the pedaling at faster speeds?
What I hate is the streight accross handlebar, keeps you bent over.
Hey since you mentioned the helmet in the video where did you get that? Super dope
It’s the SENA Smart Cycling Helmet! I’m a fan, it’s super comfy. I don’t use the communications stuff a lot but it seems to work well.
love the MXS! Can anyone recommend a link on where to buy mud guards after market? been looking for a while cant seem to find and anything to mount a water bottle etc?
i dont want to buy the rack and bag from sondors, dont like the look; trying to keep the look without adding to much baggage. thanks all and go buy, the customer service i have got from Sondors is great.
Few questions...is where to find in depth explanation on how to set your lcd advanced settings and what they mean? 3. having the bike 2 years now, any advances to upgrade the battery for more torque and range? happy riding all
Is the little stick under the kickstand included at the 1.7k price point ?
Sadly, you have to provide your own stick :(
How many miles can you go using throttle only?
Would this be your choice for a Class 3 bike under 2k?
Would you recommend this or the surface604 shred
Does anyone know if you can switch out the handlebars for Raceface or just better bars and the grips for ODI or something better for MTB? Also does anyone know if you could attach a boogie-board rack to it?
I like what they did not bad👍👍😁
nice clip 🤘
Great review. Camera angles were, shall we say, challenged?
Yes they were :( didn’t have it fastened securely on my chest mount, and that speed bump tilted the angle down! Sadly I did not check/realize until I had already flown back home
I just ordered an MXS but I can’t find any information on Mozo shocks, or a website that showcases the different types of mozo shocks to indicate how many they manufacture, the series of the shocks along with quality and parts etc..
Do you happen to have a resource, website or any information for someone who’s wanting to learn more about Mozo and all of the products they make?
Thanks
ride report please
what kind of cells are they using for the battery? Also what's the brand of the battery? I love your website and channel btw :)
Their other e-bikes use Panasonic cells so I would guess this one is the same.
Panasonic 3500 for the battery
Does the triangular case that the battery is in protect the components more than on other bikes where the actual battery and the controller and wires are more exposed or is it just more aesthetic?
I believe it's mostly aesthetic
Just got mine today! It was package super well and there was nothing scratched inside the box. My only complaint is that they only include video instructions on the website, and the video seems to be made with an older model that has very slightly different components. Just finished putting it together, about to go ride!
How do you like it? I ordered mine this month and it will be in for the middle of October
@@sozo_jamma1593 Its the best thing ever dude I ride it around like a freaking madman. Take it to a parking garage at night and go to the top floor and ride to the bottom on full throttle and you'll feel like some crazy x games athlete or something
@@CoconutWaterEnjoyer69 Whats the top speed you can get on on the road throttle only...not climbing hills or anything, just riding casually? And I assume it is able to be unlocked like most other bikes?
@@sozo_jamma1593 Yeah it can be unlocked, you have to change the top speed in the settings to 28 mph but it will go faster than that. I weigh 195 and it will easily do 25-26 mph on throttle only, just remember to always keep your tires very inflated. For some reason they need to be topped off with air nearly every day. The fastest I've got the bike to go is 30.3 mph downhill, couldve gone faster but I dont wear a helmet and not ready to die yet lol. I have absolutely zero regrets about purchasing, I originally had a preorder for the super 73 s2 for $2500 but ordered the mxs instead. Out of all the different e-bikes out there I think I got the best value in terms of power, price and coolness
@@CoconutWaterEnjoyer69 I was considering that as well. Also the Wallke X3 Pro. But something appealed to me more with the MXS. The range seems to be good, being able to ride on the streets and off road is a plus. Living in Louisiana, there are plenty of places to go exploring! How long did it take for you to receive it once you paid? I paid in full and it will be in October but no idea as to a timeframe
Is frame aluminum or steel? Heavy bike for a hard tail.
Me watching this when he says “make sure to disable the throttle if you max the speed limit to 28mph to comply the law” :3
lol
@electricbikereview.com I'm 6'1" 185lb with 35" inseam (barefoot - ground to crotch length) and so the frame might be a little small for me, is that right? I'm imagining the frame is probably 18" and for people with 31" or less inseam where I need a 20 to 23".
Could this bike handle an actual mountain bike trail? I’m not certain I’d go on one but it does look fun and this just seems like a great E-Bike
It could definitely handle it! I would say the biggest concern is making sure it's legal to ride on the trail, many will prohibit an Ebike with this much power.
Is this bike suitable for a 5’7 person? Thanks.
what are the equivilent bikes brands that are in the uk?
Hey love all the videos, but I’m disappointed that you review all brands of bikes except any of the Juice bikes. What’s up with that? Seems like you’re in love with all of Rad power products. Never heard of juice bikes?
The problem with geared hub motors is that they only last a year or two of use.
They dont seem to tell us that useful fact
@@marc9089 They never do. And most of these motors are chinese made. Best motor on the market, I think, is the Grin All-axle hub motor.
MXS or the XS? I do a 30 mile commute in pothole ridden roads
XS seems better for you
I hate the clusterfuck of cables they left behind on the handlebars! Besides that, 17ah batt is too low for 2020. I'm making my own batteries for almost 3 years already and I can tell you that, that frame can take up to 24ah batt. Besides that, it looks nice!
Is it possible to replace the battery with a different one, say from AliExpress, a 48 volt 1200watt battery with 24 amps?
Electrobikeworld sells a range of mods compatible with sondors... Bigger batteries, controllers to boost speed and power, they're super nice and helpful.
You don't have a manditory 1 year warranty on stuff in America?
Do you have to disconnect the throttle when converting it to a class 3 and just break the law or is it programmed to not let you????
I have one- it’s a recommendation to comply with some rule- not programmed or anything-
The law requires it but to me that's just an obvious that you will have it at 28MPH and also leave the throttle. I doubt a single cop cares either. Im in San Diego California and my MXS will be here last meek of June. So stoked!!
@@BannerGuy I'm in NY so you can leave the throttle as is and kick up the speed to 28 mph and it'll be fine?
Vito Vizziato yeah it works perfect. The law is there but really not enforced. It’s really up to you to remove the throttle if you want to follow the law. I choose to be a rebel and keep it at 28 with the throttle wooo hooo
Price has increased by a thousand dollars.. 😩 So it's not 1.7k now its 2.7k
So is it really worth almost 3 grand now?
Has anyone had problems with the brake pads wearing out after a couple hundred miles?
Yes.
What’s the recommended weight limit? I’m a fat guy that would love to get one of these
300 lbs is max weight cap
300lbs
Can I purchase this bike in the U.K? Looked at several other ebikes on the market, and for the money this looks like a bargain.
Powerful motor Consumes "750 watts" from the battery. As to the output specifications, that would be given in Newton/meters, which you did not do.
Sorry about that, I believe it is 80nm for this particular motor.
When do they go on sale like 75% off then it’s worth buying. One year? For 1,700 bucks better have more than one year.
It's not the shifter that limits the speed of gear change
@Electricbikereview.com which would you say is better? The Sondors XS or Fold XS?
I have the Fold XS, one of the best folding bikes out there, 20" wheels, you are making the wrong comparison, compare the Sondors XS to the MXS they are all the same price so really it gets down to personal preference.
I liked them both, really depend on riding style. If you need folding portability get the fold, otherwise I prefer the full XS!
Apples and oranges
What would you recommend for fat folks, I weigh around 350 - 400lbs?
I recommend a diet so you can get on a Ebike and live a happier life.
Look into interessante fasting to start off, dont her caught up in Diers Hou cant maintain. Dont chat. I most 140 pounds in 1.5 year eating and drinking calories only 4 to 6 hours each 24h.
A truck....
Can you pay monthly?!?!
I want a three wheel electric trike by Sondors.
Your car is nice
yo quiero comprar una bicicleta eléctrica cual me recomiendas comprar y una buena garantía?
How long can the battery last on full charge? And for the people who had this bike, Is the distance on charge enough?
Many variables wind,terrain,rider weight,tire pressure- but flat no wind med weight rider fully inflated no pedal 20-28mph maybe 25 miles? But you don’t ride it like that- with pedal assist between 2-3 some hills 40-50 miles.Riding with just throttle and emptying the battery will drastically shorten the battery lifespan/and you will not get exercise-
25 miles is average depending on your riding style
I may buy a second battery, they are only $435 bucks compared to the JUICED bikes brand batteries which are $1,300 just for a new battery... If I ever get low on battery I’ll zip home and switch it out.... that won’t work for long trail rides in some Forrest obviously though...
God Loves You your right! Thanks so much🙏
I just don't like that giant battery cover . Get a integrated battery and I'll buy one
Agreed about the cover.
But if they do that then they cant just use a off the shelf chinese bike. This total bike cost $400 max and they sell it for $1700 thats a great profit.
@@cutty02 so are you saying this bike isn't that good quality wise?
Then you can expect to spend another grand. Remember, it's all about price. I've had no problems with my covers
@@cutty02 so, are you going to fly to China and pick one up for $400 and bring it back?
Do you Offer payment plans
Sondors has the info on their site. No interest for 6 months.
I'm covering my phone so I can see the sondor screen LOL
Why
@@that1trx763 right over your head
We wear never a helmet in the Netherlands on a bike.
It's stupid
Anybody here who owns this bike and know the throttle-only range? Thanks.
class 2 20 mph class 3 28 mph
Idk how they charge so much for ebikes. 750w motor is super weak, 48v battery 20ah is like $300 on Amazon. DIY builds make more sense to me
storm ebike.. can´t believe they are still around...
I like the Sondors line of e-bikes but they REALLY have to get rid of those stupid rubber covers to access key functions. There's got to be a better way.
I’m hoping they loosen up a bit over time and are easier to manage. I had to cut the video cuz it took me almost a minute to get it off!
Actually if you press the rubber plug in the center the edge pops up and it’s easily removed
@@TysonRoehrkasse Don't worry, you will lose them soon enough and then it won't matter!
I would not call this a mountain bike - its a city bike or cruiser with MTB style. Too heavy for trails, Class 2, and only 7 gears would make the bike terrible for climbing and unbalanced and heavy going downhill. No dropper too. I'm sure there are a lot of use cases for this bike, but eMTB is not one.
It's a electric motorbike, made out of cheap bicycle parts.
@@kevinshort3943 why do you say cheap?
I have this bike and it handles MTB trails just fine. I made only one modification with a smaller front sprocket. It doesn't need to be light, since it has a powerful motor. The Maxxis tires make the ride amazing. The test rider in this video only scratched the surface with this bike's capabilities.
Steve that is my question how it handles MTB Trails????
Steven Leslie Hi Steven. Great comment. I vacation in Vermont and want to do some MTB trails. Nothing crazy, just single track stuff with some rocks, etc. No jumps! (I’ll let my kids do that!). Do you think this bike can handle that? I need an exile...old knees!
Bud, don't hold your camera/phone with your left hand. Every time you do the sound gets muffled.
The price 1699 after u chek out u pay more than 1800 no good
I thought the top speed was 28?
It is.
7:58 ridiculous brake placement, they should be further in on the handlebar to align with the index finger for braking.
16:30 ridiculous drivetrain setup, that's a quite heavy gearing, basically it's geared so high you need the motor just to ride the bike up some steep roads.
16:31 but it does not have a clutch so it will have a lot of chain slap, with the weak cage spring.
17:42 for that you actually need a chain guide, not bash rings, the chain can still go off the chain ring and over the guards as you call it, but of course that's if it's riding stairs, or very rough trails, which I am doing, and that's even with an clutch, so it will be much worse without a clutch. I am speaking from experience.
They don't even list the components or have a geometry/sizing chart. rediculous.
another bad thing is the geometry,sizing, it's oldschool, but for me most brands are not good enough, I ride a Nicolai/Geometron G1, so if I had to get a E bike I would go for Nicolai G1 Eboxx
and if a hardtail, city riding style of bike then Hnf-Nicolai. I haven't tried those, but they look sweet.
and the quality is great. but price will of course not be low.
You've never even been on a bike
@@CoconutWaterEnjoyer69 so you assume I've not been on a bike? I've been riding for about 16 years.
if you checked my channel you would have seen I am avid mountain biker. and I put components to the test for sure.
winter 2019/2020 I built up my new bike, it's a Nicolai/Geometron G1, it's an enduro mountainbike with modern geometry developed by Chris Porter, frame is manufactured by Nicolai, quality frame, great and wide welds.

4:32 this fork is a copy cat fork, and what they are doing is not legal.
IT's likely the fork does not have the technology it pretends to have, like Manitou ABS damper, which the red dial is a copy of.
hayesbicycle.com/collections/forks
the forks probably come from the same factory as the
as KRSEC /BOLANY
check out the video by TCBOT: ua-cam.com/video/XeGZ4b5LT44/v-deo.html
there is a risk for forks not being straight, horrible quality issues, and the internal components are junk, which the fork in this video is probably too.
there are quite a few of these copy cat forks in various forms.
by going for copycat manufacturers, they save a lot of money too, but I would avoid going for components by such manufacturers.

I don’t even know how I got here
Why would someone buy the XS over the MXS?
I almost bought the XS because of the fat tires but I didn't realize at first the MXS is lighter and still has some nice beefy tires. Just ordered the MXS.
So iphones max out at 18w(9v 2a) fast charging, but have a minimum of 5w(5v 1a) charging? Wild shit. 2.5w(5v 500ma) was the standard for apple before the iphone 5, I'm surprised they abandoned it entirely.
its so ugly though. the frame is alright but the decals and steering post and seat all make it look like a teenagers bike
I'm not a fan of POV demo riders.
Thanks for the feedback :)
How else did you expect him to do it?
@@MrVizziato23 Option #1 Have someone hold the camera as he rides by. Option #2 set the camera down and ride by.
Thanks for the feedback, I mix some third person and stationary camera shots in. We try to work on a lower budget so we can cover more bikes and not flood our site or the videos with ads. It’s a balance, and something we’re working on :)
Sorry Sonders, I can't get past that goofy looking battery box. Makes it look home-made.
I actually don't mind it as opposed to previous older model. The angular shape blends quite nicely to the bike's geometry .
Too bad, because I have one and really like it
reminds me of the mopeds we had in the 80's, had an access "decorative" panel toget to the battery and toolkit.
I don’t mind it and I ordered the bright orange one... after being hit by an SUV at 40 mph while bicycling I kind of like the big bright visible orange bike... my back was jacked for 2 years and really still is to this day... 😢
I like the big battery box, but it would be better if they actually put a big battery in there!
Twist gears lol no thanks so much better out there not sure why they bothered.
Thank god no plaid shirt guy 🤣🤮🤣
That battery case is Ugly!
I think you need adult braces.
You are not wrong!
