The Vitilan T7 Pro is a fat tire full suspension electric mountain bike. It likes to go fast, and rides comfy with its adjustable suspension. Most ebikes at this price point don't offer the level of quality suspension, brakes, motor, Samsung battery that we see on the Vitilan T7 Pro. It's not perfect, but for $2k, its a solid choice if you like the performance and style shown in this ebike review.
✅ My #1 Favorite Ebikes w/ pedals:
This is like the "Trophy Truck" of ebikes, like a pick-up truck with a nitrous switch, huge and has ridiculous power, big 26" off road tires, and big plush suspension... you'll get more smiles per gallon instead of miles per gallon, don't watch this if you aren't preparred to drop $2k today:

almost put mine out today as well! lol glad to see your take on it
I bought the original T7 and was greatly dissatisfied in the torque and suspension. The bike accelerated way to slow for a “mountain bike “ and the suspension hardly moved at all. The design for the rear shock is inadequate with no bearings in the shock linkage.
Customer support on the rear shock issue was truly frustrating! I sent a video of how setting the “Sag” on the shock was impossible on a shock that doesn’t move.
Setting the “Sag “ means to adjust the rear shock accordingly to your weight for optimum performance, as specified in the included rear shock manual. They sent a video of a support member pushing up and down on the rear shock “Like a Gorilla “ as proof the shock works correctly!
I thought I would be mad about this video with the “upgrades” on this bike making me more sore I bought the original, but I can clearly see this bike would be equally disappointing. Thanks for the review and clarification!
Do you think it is because of the hub gearing or is it just a simple setting that can be changed in the LCD display? I don't understand why this bike kept giving less and less power going through sand or up hill. Makes no sense to me when the one I currently own does the exact opposite. It literally boosts me uphills full power, does wheelies and wheel spins etc.
@@Veganarchy-Zetetic I'm not sure what you mean by "hub gearing". Do you mean the rear sprocket gearing? This bike has a rear hub motor so the sprocket gearing has no effect on the hub motor power output. I suspect the slow/weak acceleration is determined by the controller. The bike accelerates slowly in all PAS settings and all rear sprocket gear selections.
I have found no available display changes that increase the power output upon initial acceleration from a stop on my original T7. However you can "Trick" the controller into a greater top speed via the LCD by entering a different tire size setting in the menu. The top speed then differs by two to three mph from this "pro" version.
I would have expected this bike to perform much better with a higher voltage battery and greater amperage capable controller. My dainty 500 watt hub motor Lectric XP3.0 has more torque off the line than this supposed mountain/trail bike.
I suggest anyone interested in purchasing this bike to buy the original T7 as the performance seems to be on par with this "upgraded version" to save $$$..Or better yet purchase a different brand with better customer support.
@@leeonthegrass The hub is a geared motor, it is not direct drive. This means the gears inside the hub can be set for either speed or for high torque. My last 2 ebikes have a setting in the advanced menu called 'slow start' For some reason this Vitilan bike seems to be set to full 'slow start' with no way of changing it.
I absolutely loved the look of the Vitilan bike but in the end I went for the Merky Bike instead. The Vitilan seemed too heavy, too under powered and I didn't want fat tyres as I thought they would just exacerbate these problems even more.
Love the way you describe things, I watch you a lot because you’re so funny with the bikes and things you say!😂
What's your tire pressure?
What's your tire pressure? BECAUSE you ALWAYS have too much pressure when you test Fatbike! Fatbike has a max of 20PSI. 7-10PSI is most often used! You probably have more than 20PSI :(
check this "Loose sand: 4-6 psi Wet packed beach sand by the surf: 6-8 psi Rocky trails: 6-10 psi Pavement: 10-12+ psi (Most fat bike tires have a max psi of 20) Fresh snow : 1-4 psi (Everyone has a tough time with fresh snow so don't worry. Fat bikes really need packed snow) Packed snow trail: 2-6 psi (Packed non-cross country ski trails that are shared with hikers) Groomed snow trail: 1-4 psi (So you don't sink in and damage the trail)"
I've got my eye on the Vitilan i7 pro 40w 20 ah with the extra spongy seat and BMX bars but there's so much available now and our summer is wrapping up unfortunately.
Always good reviews, cheers
A fair and honest review and I would say the wired freedom has this beat on every metric as a typical consumer.
both are china made bikes with cheap frames
@@mikec4308what would you recommend in this price range?
Wired freedom has bmx handlebars and a cruiser frame..
and built in death wobble
Got to remember that wired charges $300 shipping so they're not $19.99 they are $2,300 each plus tax
300 for shipping! I was charged £80 for 2 bikes. 300 seems a bit excessive...
Wired also offer free pick up at their suburban Chicago warehouse. Lots of people are getting the bike for $1999 plus tax. 60 million people live within 5 hours of Chicago and probably 10-20% of customers pick up their bikes. But most importantly, Wired is based in Chicago and the owners speak English and provide exceptional service.
@@jfly2249 maybe 1% of customers
The suspension setup looks far better than a lot of the cheap but extremely powerful stuff, you review in the last reviews.
That's a good looking bike. And that suspension is fantastic. Great review as always. ❤👌🏼
Please do the Freesky warrior, it rips for a full suspension, got mine up to 62kph (39mph)
I have a swift horse myself. It's pretty good and gets about the same speeds
@@LaserKnight but can it go through deep sand and or crazy inclines their dual motors are insane on this chassis, im also 245lbs 6.4
@@joint9491 steep hills is kind of this bike's weakness, but otherwise it goes really fast. Haven't tried sand but did a tiny bit of off roading and it wasn't half bad
@@LaserKnight the warrior surprised me when i pulled my 5yr old in a charriot through deep sand from dead stop. Its beast mode once unlocked to 9pas
Great Channel! I enjoy your videos. I got my first ebiike this summer. Bad start, 2 broken ribs, and some stitches. Going much better now!!
Glad you doing good
ouch
Which eBike?
@@legallyregarded IGO 3.1
It just seems like, after 100s of reviews and research, no matter the bike, you are taking a chance on any of these bikes. The market is absolutely flooded with new e bikes. And just when you think you are ready to pull the trigger, a bad review shatters your confidence.
You saw a bad review for this bike?
I'll take super-quick 0 to 20 mph acceleration over a fast top speed any day, with Plus-size tires instead of heavy 4" fat tires that are useless in CA unless you ride the beach a lot. I'd like to see you test more 52 or 60v 750-watt "legal" bikes, wrapped for acceleration. Related to this, is there a video where we can see all your old 0 to 20 mph stats? Thanks Matt.
This is the reason I went for a different bike instead. The acceleration seems better on the one I bought and instead of fat tyres it just has slightly bigger ones. I hope I made the right choice because I still do prefer a LOT of features of the Vitilan but I have never tried one myself to truly know which is better.
Same. In the city you need it to get up to speed fast.
This motor is a great motor/controller for that. You can get into the settings and make the low end more responsive. You can even get a controller with higher voltage to get more out of the motor but I suggest knowing what you're doing or find a reputable channel that shows how it's done. You can go too high and obv that's dangerous. These LI batteries make NASTY uncontrollable fires. The huge downside to emotors today. Not even counting the slavery and child labor part of them or that they're extremely environmentally unfriendly all around. Which sucks because I love electric motors but we're not really ready for them for mass use till we have a better power source/power storage for them. And plus the other things I mentioned like the slavery/child labor in the lithium and cobalt mining for the batteries.
Sir when is giveaway coming?
Big fannnn ❤
Can you do the furious EMX Ultimate some day please
A pretty basic Ebike, the California incline results were surprisingly good after the sand test. Thanks Matt.
I ordered this bike and it's a few days out. I read you can change the wheel size in settings to trick the computer and alter acceleration, top speed, etc.
How do you like it? Thinking about getting one coming from a freesky Himalaya 750 watt bafang
@@darrylphillips6301 It's only my second ebike but honestly couldn't be happier. The air suspension rides like a Cadillac. My other bike has much more torque but the Vitilan is certainly adequate for anything I'd need. Battery life is fine. I never really ride more than 10miles or so at a time but 90% of that is strictly throttle only and pretty much topped out on speed. Not too familiar with Freesky brand but I'd say you'll be able to definitely feel the upgraded Bafang. The advanced settings are probably the coolest part and I've only tried a few different settings so far. Gives you a lot of control to set it for your specific needs.
Hey buddy, I’ve been following you for awhile and I love how you cover everything about the ebikes you review….something unrelated to this bike, and maybe you covered this before in other videos or comments. I tried to sift through all of your videos to find out what bike put that burn on your floor?!
😂😂😂 I know this is crazy, but I tried to figure it out! You should hav e a giveaway on who can figure out what bike you reviewed that autographed your floor 🤪

😂😂🤣 immediately!!!
Thank you now I can sleep!!
Magicycle has the new 2.0 deer out.
hope to a review soon😊
What do you do with all these bikes when your done?
Double the power and double the battery exists with the Wired Freedom for the same price. Why bother with anything else. Love your videos though
Too different to compare, one is a high-speed Street cruiser, the other a mountain bike.
wired freedom is a cheaply made china bike lol thats why
I didnt see you mention that when he did the Billy Goat video.
@mikec4308 so is this one, and so is virtuall all ebikes
Wth are you talking about.. this is the same style bike for the same price with reduced stats on everything @@bassw1758
Another great review video. I trust your opinion, so I have a question you might be able to help me with. Could you please tell me what you think is the best low budget long range E-Bike? I am on SSDI and the state took my license due to Parkinson's disease. My neurologist is 27 miles from my home just across the state line. Medical transport don't cross the state line, so I have missed a lot of Dr appointments. It will take me quite a long time to save up for an E-Bike but it seems to be my best choice for transportation due to my Parkinson's. Your opinion would really help me a ton. Thanks for reading this. Looking forward to future videos.
Hey Charles,, depends on where you live when considering cost. If you are in the Chicago area, then the dual battery wired freedom would be good. They can put it together for you. If you can assemble a bike yourself it seems like the E cells dual battery is the way to go. Good luck!
@@rvboondocker2559 thank you for the suggestion. I'm in Eastern Washington and my neurologist is across the state line in Idaho. It's 27 miles one way so I agree that a duel battery would probably be best. If I take the road, it has a few hills ranging from 8% - 16%. If I take the trail, the hills are 9% - 12% so riding a regular bike with Parkinson's is really hard and takes almost 3 hours for me to do. Also until my license was revoked I was a Door Dasher but had to stop due to the license issue. On SSDI, I am still able to work up to 20 hours so a duel battery would be best for that also, if I decided to get back into delivering. SSDI barely pays enough to survive on so like I said before, it will take quite a while to save up for an E-Bike. That is why I was trying to get an idea what would be best so I know how much I would need to save up for
@@Charles-j5h hey Charles,, the way you get that much range is just by using pedal assist one and two and even using zero when you go downhill. You can get a ton of range once you get the hang of it and “play the game”. if it was me, I would get the E cells dual battery system equipped the way you want it. I also put paneers on mine (Wired Freedom single battery).
@@rvboondocker2559 ok I'll look into that. I only have problems peddling long distances on a regular bike. I can peddle but regular bikes take a lot out of me on hills. When my daughter is in town, she brings her cargo E-Bike and I have ridden that from Spokane to Colville over 2 mountain passes with very little problems thanks to the assist. I believe it was an Lectric expedition with a huge single battery E-Bike. My daughter brings it to ride her kids around when she comes twice a year to visit from Boise Idaho. Thanks for your reply, I really appreciate it.
PLEASE REPLY
Best 45 mph 30 mile range bike to buy idc what style but I love the bench style of moped or e moto bikes.
Or the best option for an unlocked model a model to buy then upgrade PLEASSESE
Motor goat v3
Yeah, this would be on the list if I was going to buy another eBike. Ticks off the quality motor and battery cells; personally, I would not consider an eBike without those two.
It needs more battery!
great review it shows it for what it is -
pretty much the same torque as the 48V 750 hub motor
not so great a climber, but 80 nm torque is about 10 more than the average rear hub -
I was hopeful :)
nice ebike for its purpose, but for the price its at?
even the kepler outperforms it, but its a hard tail.
the suspension is nice on this vit ebike.
performs ok
gee Id like that nomad1 you did awhile back, it was a little better than the plus - oh well
my quest continues. . .
yeah I "need" another ebike ;)
Thank you for your honest review, which will help more ebike enthusiasts understand our upgraded version of T7, --T7 pro.😀
Is there any reason the torque is so low? Is it the way that the hub motor is geared or something we can simply change in the settings? There is very little acceleration and the bike slows down significantly when going up hills or through sand. This is one of the reasons I chose not to buy this bike unfortunately.
Another reason I chose a different bike over this is the weight. You stated 103lbs on your website but this video states 83lbs. I have to get these bikes up and down stairs so this is very important information to me. Is your site wrong or is this review wrong?
@@Veganarchy-Zetetic Hello, my friend.
Our weight is 103lbs and our T7pro max speed is 35mph, normal gradients are easy for us to cross, it's normal to slow down a little bit going uphill and through the sand!😊😊
@@vitilanebike Did you even watch this video? He weighed the bike himself infront of the camera and it weighed 83lbs WITH the battery. Are you saying he is wrong? 4:20
@@vitilanebike Normal to slow down a little bit going through sand? The bike completely stopped! You don't even watch the video's of the reviewers you send free bikes to... 20:30
My t7 stopped working after a week - sensor hall 24h code, very upset and will send back
Maybe they can just replace the wheel?
@@Veganarchy-Zetetic its taken a long time to arrive too, and still no rear rack i ordered 31july, after a week this is no good so will just return it :(
@@DanE-g3c Sorry to hear that dude. I guess I got lucky with my ebikes.
Maximum charge got to 31mph on first model by reducing wheel size all the way said it tricks the bike wonder if it would do anything on the pro .
Had polarized prescription lenses.
Was unable to see the digital display in my automobile.
Got rid of them.
can i setting to 16 MPH for german law?
check out the aerial rider kepler 1k hub a hard tail tho, it goes fast & is ok for uphill $1499 [atm]
52V 33 amp controller
for what I want [logging roads long grades] i might need a mid drive - sigh
freesky warrior pro dual motor jawn
dope bike
This bike seems kinda whack, Im sorry. I would get something off Amazon for half the price and more powerful. My 48v has way more torque than this and hits 32mph. I paid $800 for it and have over 600 miles on it. Its a moped style so not like this bike but if this is what you want, they have that too
mashallah❤❤❤
