    Quite interesting, that price is quite low for a lithium-polymer battery pack of that capacity. The range is also very good, the collapsable frame is meant for commuters, drive to the edge of city, unpack, drive into downtown, a very interesting test.

    This is the only review I saw here in UA-cam for this type of ebike. The newer version that I bought this month was a Sheng Milo M90, can't really find a really good review but glad to see that an ebike with identical design were reviewed here. Mine's got 500W hub motor, longer travel front fork, and 18Ah 48V battery for 630USD.

    A foldable frame is a disadvantage in every way other than convenience. Whether it's worth it to you is dependent on how valuable that convenience is to you, and how much the various mechanical disadvantages of a hinged split in the frame matters to you.

    Personally, I'd rather spend that amount of money on a conversion kit than a folding bike that looks like it might snap in half at any moment. You can buy a really powerful motor for that kind of cash. And if you stick the kit on a half decent mountain bike you'll feel a lot safer and you'll also travel a lot faster.

    just an observation - @ 2:15 u stated the RD and disc brakes are shimano - not true! the RD may be some cheapo Shimano and the rotors *may* (highly doubtful) be Shimanos but the disk brake caliper clearly has "Yinming" printed on it and are definitely not Shimanos! To answer your question about cheap front suspension fork or simply go rigid - yes i would go rigid with thicker tyres! And if u want to go offroad more get better brakes asap! Even stuff from Promax would inspire more confidence than "Yinming" lol

    I am planning on buying a few bikes (3) off of AiBaba, selling Two of them essentially getting the last one free. The price of the three bikes I am looking at (including: currency exchange, duty, taxes and shipping to my home in Canada) is still cheaper than bikes that have WAY LOWER specifications at our local bike store. I don't feel like I'm risking as much after watching this video but before I commit there is more research to do. It was nice to see that this bike worked well ... it is now October (6 months since) I will look through the videos on your channel and see if you did a follow up. If not id love to hear how much you have used the bike in the last 6 months and how well it has lasted ... has the range diminished ??? Thanks !!!

  • @lenny108
    @lenny108 4 роки тому +1

    the problem might be to get replacement parts, does this bike has standardized screws, bearings and are screw threads made out of soft aluminum that quickly wears out? Is the bike made out of cheap steel that easily gets cracks or is it made out of high-grade steel that doesn't break? There are customers that say that the very next day when the warranty claim is over cheap Chinese products break apart.

  • @Nirrrina
    @Nirrrina 5 років тому

    Foldable frame? Well it would be good for the bus. We have a automatic wheelchair spot that no one willingly uses. It would be perfect there if there was already two bikes on the bike racks.
    Another advantage is it comes ready made for someone like me who knows nothing of motors. Although I did watch a hub wheel motor put onto a bike & I'd rather do that because it's cheaper & I have a pretty good bike already. Plus my weight would probably crush that bike.

    Very nice practical review. No mumb o jumbo tech jargon to impress. I like the look of this bike and it would appear to be a good solution for going to and from the office. How long does it take to fully charge the battery (how may mAh is it)?

    • @jakegarrett8109
      @jakegarrett8109 5 років тому +1

      He said 10.8 Ah (10,800mAh) 48v. Safely it would be 1 hour with a special charger on lithium batteries, but most try not to push things to the limits (lithium likes to catch fire, it’s probably a good thing they take more than an hour with the cheap chargers they use...), my 10 Ah 48v battery (LiFePo4 chemistry) says 4 hours, but it’s much faster than that. This one probably is around 4 hours if you fully deplete it (which definitely is not safe to do... so that should never happen anyways), and expect more like 2-3 hours max for basically using all the battery that you should be using). Thankfully this design has the battery enclosed in a heavy metal frame, so it’s much safer if it does catch fire than some other designs.
      So if you ride it to work and if they let you charge it, you won’t have any issue with charge time, it would be about 2-3x longer than it needs for charging. If you charged it at a restaurant for an hour long lunch (waiting times etc), then you’ll have half of the battery charged up (say if you stopped at 20% capacity, an hour later you’ll probably be 70%, the charge greatly slows after 90% though). It’s really not all that long, it’s kind of like a laptop except that typically your not using an ebike all day like you might with a laptop.

    The good part about a rear hub motor powered folding mountain bike is you can replace and upgrade most of the parts with better components/ The fork, the chainwheels, the chain, the brakes, the headpost and handlebars and even the front wheel. The only parts you can't replace I guess is the frame and the rear wheel.

      Oof, yeah fatbikes are super fun and just roll over curbs like it’s a pebble, but they do lose some serious efficiency at fast speeds. It’s probably also tuned for slower speeds (electrical windings optimized for slower speed but more torque), so that’s going to limit speed a lot, but that sounds like a pretty decent speed anyways for a fun fatbike!

    Does it assist. Or is it pedal only or electric only?

    Dont buy bikes off of sites like Amazon or Ali Express. They are pretty much exclusively garbage. I work at a shop and have seen internet bikes fall apart almost immediately many times.

    I like your accent what country is that from? If I was to get that bike I'll take all the parts of it and test it on another bike with better suspension. Excellent video!:):) UK:)
