The step through version is better imo because you can get on and off it easier. This bike is heavy and hard to lift. Also the cruise control can be used like a transmission. You can change speeds on it.
If you paid more than $400, see if you can cancel the order and re-order it. It's $199 + $199 shipping on Amazon today! amzn.to/4epX8GQ (affiliate link)
I really like this bike 😎 Best feature is the Cruise Control However the battery 🔋 came slightly damaged and it was a battle getting the companies Support Team to send me a replacement But after a half of dozen emails back and forth they sent it 😃 ActBest Y’all are Alright
I just gave up my car to save money and did a bunch of research on an e-bike before picking one. I picked this one, got the orange too, and this video reassures me I made the right decision. Would you recommend any of the 1st party accessories or will 3rd party fit fine? I want to get a rear basket and blinkers.
This review is really great, very informative. what about the battery life in long term though, does it working fine even after put in few miles on it?
After the battery drops to about 70%, there is a bit of voltage sag. The top speed will drop to about 18-19mph and stay there steadily until the battery runs out.
Thank you for the video I just got the actbest core said 1000 peak power so I’m guessing a 750 motor there are no videos really but yours plus I ordered the orange one so I have watched your video 3-4 times to tide me over pretty excited should be here in a few days so does anyone really know if 1000 w is peak does that mean 750 motor doesn’t say
I don't want too burst your bubble, but if it's a 1000w motor, it's the weakest 1000w motor I've ever ridden. It feels like 350w with maybe 600w peak. I can't find a definitive answer on this anywhere. Don't let that discourage you. It's still a great bike for the price!
I just returned the 27.5” Core Mtn bike in orange, this size is 750w peek 1000w. Overall it looked really well made. The front fork however was lopsided, one fork was a bit longer than the other so the wheel, tire and brake disk rubbed on fork really hard. I contacted Actbest. They responded really quick and were very willing to work with me. but getting a new fork would take weeks and finding a bike shop that would do the work was impossible. At least in my area no bike shop wants to work with direct to customer bikes from China. The Trek shop was a bit snobby and looked down at me for not buying a less powerful Trek for $2,800 (Which by the way is also made in China)
I ordered the Speedy Combo and only received 1 bike and 1 combination lock. I am so upset and do not know how I will get my money back for the bike and combination lock that I never received. I reached out to customer support and have not received any response. I spent +$1000 and only received 1 Speedy bike. The 1 bike that I did receive is great.
I agree about the motorcycle versus ebike argument. I ride both and for the high ebike prices I would much rather ride a motorcycle. Those who are riding the super fast ebikes on the streets where they are illegal are getting bike trails shut down and ebikes banned in many areas. That type is usually very rude on family oriented trails too. They need to visit the mountain bike areas instead.
Some ppl really depend on e bikes like for work who can't afford a car then u got these goofs with these high powered ebikes going 25 and up in areas they don't need to be going
They gonna abuse that to the point where they gonna require a license and possible registration and strict laws it's already laws like this in California
Ebikes don't have no business being past 25 mph hell 20 is fast enough 20 is lightning on a bike and they making ebikes almost as fast as a damn moped or scooter it's crazy
Soooo I ordered a green one on the 9th and this video was one of the ones that led me to make my purchase after reviewing different brands and specks. It said 3 to 5 day shipping and here I am 5 days later, no bike and the website says my bike is still at the warehouse and FedEx says they haven't even received the bike yet. I contacted customer support 2 days ago and no response. I feel like I just got scammed out of $480. If I don't have a response on where my damn bike is by Monday I'm suing Actbest for my money back plus more considering I ordered it with the last of my money as transportation to get around since I don't have a vehicle.
@sobe356 So their customer service got back to me on the 13 and they blamed FedEx and the holiday. Now for the average person without common sense that would make sense to them but I know better considering FedEx showed they received my order on the 13th, literal the day Actbest responded to me. So basically they never sent FedEx my bike to be shipped then blamed FedEx tracking and Christmas as an excuse/cover up story. I 100% believe that Actbest would not have sent FedEx my bike if I would not have contacted them. Currently my bike is still in California as per FedEx tracking and is it expected to arrive Thursday this week. If my bike arrives before I will give an update and that will change my view on the subject of Actbest placing the blame on FedEx because that will validate their claims. But if it arrives on the exact day that the FedEx website is telling me it's supposed to Actbest is 100% at fault for not making the delivery schedule window and clearly didn't send them the bike until the 13th.

Bought this exact same bike hoping it comes before Christmas so grateful for this review video so I can get a look at it..looks nice and fast🔥
Let me know how you like it, I've heard great reviews
Love this review! It’s nice to hear that someone else is on the same “brain-wave” track! Very through, honest and comprehensible!
Great video, fully expected you to have triple the subscribers you do. Keep it up!
Thanks, I appreciate that! 🙂

I bought that exact bike today for the price you quoted… sounds like I made a great pick 👍 thank you for a very detailed review

It is indeed… that is exactly what I paid
Excellent review and great looking bike and I also like the 350 watt motors as they tend to use less battery.

Very informative review. Nice looking bike also .Good to know has longer battery life than some e bikes. Yeah ,bug swallowing sucks.
The front Forks now come Fully Assembled… mount the handle bar and the front tire… charge the battery and you’re riding 🚴

Most rear racks will fit this bike just fine, so you can add a basket to that easily. I've never added rear blinkers, so I cant speak on that.
I got one today and I can't wait to put it together tomorrow

I just got my Actbest core and im trying to find how to turn on the head light. So How do you turn on the headlight?
Hold the + (or up...I can't remember) button for 5 seconds. Hold for 5 seconds again to shut it off.
5:00 are you biking in lakeview, Ohio?
Lakeview & Russells Point. The 5 minute mark is Russells Point.
The Amazon listing states the motor is 500W not 350W.
It might be 500 peak. If it's 500 nominal, it feels pretty weak.
9:12 😂
“Go away, Bee”

Thanks. Me too!
I wish it was a class 3 and I could pedal to 28 mph. I like my electric Xpress better. You can get just as much exercise by using lower pedal assist.
Most people are going to like a bike that costs twice as much more than they like this one. There's a reason it costs twice as much.
They have a class 3 version of this bike. It's $200 more though.
@robg77 price vs bang for buck. I want a throttle.

I'm calling it now ebikes are gonna soon be required to use with a license because ppl are stupid
Some ppl really depend on e bikes like for work who can't afford a car then u got these goofs with these high powered ebikes going 25 and up in areas they don't need to be going

Perdón por la respuesta tardía. La tija del sillín indica 30.4.
@@LowDoughTech gracias 👍✌️
Same 350w is where its at
No thanks, not any Chinese bike for me.
Where then US? Japan? I’m hesitent on China built ones myself.
I reached out to them about getting a bike to review for my instagram account but got no response. Who did you reach out to?
also great review...very through
Maybe because you only have 18 subscribers and don't have any reviews on your channel
