That's a good looking bike.... The tank bag adds a lot of "motorcycle" feel to it which I kind of like but it could do w/ a good tank style lockable box. That would fill the body in and make it look beefier... Plus a nice dual beam rectangular LED headlight w/ hi/lo switch wouldn't hurt. 😁👍
I also have a Ghostcat f2.2 pro, just wondering, when you press down on your brake, not hard, but perfectly normal, does your back brake also make very very loud squeaking noises? Have 200miles on my bike already too.
My big reservation about this bike is the RANGE. One 20 Amp Hour battery and no place to even carry another one. Perhaps I missed it, but I did not hear you talking about the range you achieved, what did you think about the range?
@@Jumbo-D hey Understood it is more of a fun/quick bike . 15/20 mile range depending on terrain and weight. The trade off is the ones with good range aren't as capable as the Ghostcat. I have two video reviews of large battery Ebikes for under a grand as well.
Thank you for a great test! For how long you wait for your bike since you order it online? I hope I will receive red & black one that I ordered. Awesome bike!! 👍👏👏👏👍
still roads a little rough but wide. it does ok tho. Im realistic about ebikes as they "should" do the roads. mt fat ebikes do ok, but been thinking about emoto type for a real trail? my 4 wheelers good [when its wide] for a game trail I rode dirt bike or trail bike. kinda like the hold back of the motor. sadly my ebikes are rolling free down hill [thats why I got brakes] ;) still kinda sketchy on loose stuff tho :o
The only thing I don't like is the big headlight. I have the same kind of light on my bike and I don't think they perform how they look if that makes sense. They make them look more like a motorcycle without the performance of a motorcycle light. I want to replace mine but its also the horn, so I would have to change both? I haven't looked into that yet.
have you rode the bike in wet conditions? maybe a morning or day after a rainy night. Curious how well those fenders actually protect from ground wetness. Id be using it as a daily commuter for a round trip of 5 miles or 10-12 if i go home for lunch and pick up the gf from train station. I live in DC so weather is very temperamental. im worried that ill get soaked or dirty as hell going to work if the ground is wet from night before or earlier rainfall. hoping it wont be too hard to find some better fenders and that they wont be too pricey.
My only complaint is the same 1 as 95% of other E.Bikes at the moment. The small 20AH battery 😢. For a real world reference that's 20 miles top speed.. I really Wish they would start Being least 24 AH!! So you could get at least thirty miles. Twenty miles might seem long if you're just having fun putting around the Park. But. For people like me who use it as an only form of transportation! I probably can't go to the store and back
@@corywebb5537 I love the bike but when I commute for more than a five mile trip I use a different bike. Check the other bikes we tested for better commute options.
Yeah, I'm familiar with just about everything on the market.It's just really hard finding something that has both power and range for decent price. This is definitely better than the d.R t and cheaper though. I like the grizzly and I really like Sparks cycle works brute. But just Graffiti and everyone else,😂😢 They're making everyone preorder everything and then not Delivering on their due date. I don't like the whole preorder thing. There are Too many good ebikes And scooters that come out daily to Have thousands of dollars tied up for something.You may or may not get in a few months
@@corywebb5537yeah understood and I can't suggest grizzly mine broke after 1k miles. Did you see what I named the grizzly killer the Romeo 2. Larger battery it's faster than the grizzly and cheaper .
@@FrutenFratenSansGluten there are some other factors like weight. I weight 180 pounds plus gear. As far as the bike it's definitely very powerful for the price.
That's what you call, "Putting it through its' paces, right out of the box." Nice bike.
You really push the bike, which I think is awesome to see the full capabilities the bike has. Great video.😊
Thank you for the great review. It is the best review imaginable about the capabilities of this bike. You've helped me to make the decision to get it!
Now that is a battle test for sure! Bike held up great! Great review keep up the good work!
Dang just beating that floating pillow to death right out of the box 😂. We need some more Same Bike road cruises 😊 !!!
Crazy , it is unbelievable , such a moped ebike like GhostCat can stand the drastic off-road test

I have that same display on my ebike. Simple, but easy to read in the sun.

Great video man! Appreciate the off roading test
thank you for this review. Mine is shipping overseas so I will receive it like in 20 days, so again man, thank you for sharing.
I got mine a few days ago it has insane acceleration and looks very neat
@@nickmorgan8434nice to hear that man. Enjoy!

Mine does not I have less than 50 currently. Don't worry sounds like it just may need adjusted.

@@EastCoastCurt - I get it, guess you can't have it all in one bike. Your frame looks great!
Good video bro. Driving at thing like you have one Barney, Fife
In that town Ordered one with extra battery..in black×2 w/ 2Huntsman Vee
got a ghostcat ,,....nice
Cold weather take a massive toll on batteries incase you didnt know. Wind also saps the battery and your top speed.
I agree but also battery wasn't fully charged. I couldn't wait lol
Thank you for a great test! For how long you wait for your bike since you order it online? I hope I will receive red & black one that I ordered. Awesome bike!! 👍👏👏👏👍
Thanks. I bought it on preorder sale I believe it took about 4 weeks.
Awesome review sir! How did the seat and suspension feel after riding all that time to your body?
No soreness or anything. Seat and suspension is comfortable. Also I'm 180lbs
still roads a little rough but wide.
it does ok tho.

The miles per hour was dropping going up that tiny hill , if you were going up a real hill i wonder if it would make it
Did you change your settings?
Yes I did according to the off-road speed settings.
@@EastCoastCurt I put mine to 100
The only thing i dont love is the lack of voltage readout on the display. Other than that, really cool bike.
The display has a voltage read out.
@@GHOSTCATBIKES oh I must have missed that! Nice.

@@sooperfy It could benefit from longer fenders. Also it's a great bike. Even better off-roader but not my first choice as a strictly urban commuter .

How did you feel on the bike being 6’1”? I’m 6’ do you think it will be too small for a 6’ rider?
No pedaling.
Very fun bike. I would recommend getting the handlebar riser that ghostcat offers.
That option wasn't available until after I got the bike. It will bring the handlebar higher for us taller guys.
Thanks for the insight! I’m sure other riders want to know that as well!
So the bike can ride downhill , great . What about a steep hill ?
Couple hill test throughout the video largest one at 22:00 .
@@EastCoastCurt thanks for the reply , do you think it can take me up a steep mountain ? I live on top of a mountain in british colombia

Do they ship on a pallet and on a freight truck or a regular truck?
Come off a FedEx truck/van in the same box as you see in the video . No pallet.
Iv heard you have to program it to off road mode to get it to go 38mph do you know how to do that?
Yes you should have gotten an email from ghostcat with instructions. If not I can send you it .
