Kent $398 on WM right now. I got one, some things I don't like but I'd get 2 more right now because it's a 350w and it's way more bike than the price right now. It's hard to handle and dangerous, high center of G and the pedal assist doesn't obey you like a throttle, it kicks in and out and if it lunges while you're cornering and hit gravel you could go down. I'd use this in daytime and keep it off until I need to go someplace far. It ride's FABULOUSLY almost easier than my old bike with the brake dragging, needing new bearings etc.
There are 10 individual cells that make up your battery. New batteries are often not "balanced", meaning all 10 cells are not at the exact same voltage. Your Battery Management System will detect this and shut things down, even if only for a second. (A great safety feature) That causes surging. I have found that after the battery is recharged numerous times, the battery will balance out and all that surging stops. Another way, and to confirm what I am saying, is to search youtube for "proper battery balancing procedure". There is a 1:27 video from Ariel that I find helpful. I agree, for $400 this bike is a great buy. I mean, you can't buy a conversion kit and battery for that price. I will be installing a throttle on mine soon, if anyone would to see a video of it? It will absolutely void the warranty, so, maybe wait until after the 90 day return window is up
