Good video! I own the same bike and went with the inexpensive option to make sure I liked ebiking before upgrading. I certainly do but IMO this bike seems to be twice.as heavy as the listed 45 pounds. It is an absolute struggle getting it in and out of a car trunk or for those taking a bus it is a real p.i.t.a. to put it in the luggage compartment in the older greyhound/tourbus style buses. Its not as cumbersome on the front mounted rack on the city buses. One thing to mention at night pay attention to the road in front of you. The small wheels are harder to keep balanced and one little hole/obstacle in the road and you can easily spill if going the full speed. Wear a helmet and good quality riding gloves. This bike has no suspension and your body will be absorbing all of that impact which will wear you out if you're not in good shape. Grab a pack of assorted bungee cords for backpacks etc and a small one can perfectly hold a 28-32oz sports bottle, perfectly secure with a good bungee cord. I a believe the range is more like 7-10 miles on a charge. I am thin, have a nominal amount of gear and live in a mostly flat as a pancake area and I never get more than 10 miles before the battery quits. I use about 40-50% throttle so I should be getting a better return but even with some experience now, it's not. For the price I think 3 stars out of 5 is fair. Good starter bike to learn the ropes before uprading.
