    That was an awesome in depth review. Living here in the Philippines and all the E-bike reviews are in Filipino language. Thank God I still have my Amazon account and they ship to the Philippines. This will be my first E-bike. You should have gotten a 100K or more views for this video in my opinion.

      @mikerochester ​It looks similar but I can only get up to 22mph top speed and the battery is 36v 10ah and the motor says it's peak 750w what battery is yours and is your motor stronger? What I do know is I get up to a 15mile ride and on the way home my bike battery has two bars of battery and by the time I get home it's on its last bar, and that is only using throttle but even with pedal assist it gets only a little more range than only throttle but not much of a difference

    13:40 28mph is 41 feet per second. 28*5280/3600. You said the parking spots were 9ft wide, so that's a breaking distance of almost 54 feet. This was under ideal conditions. It's dry you had a lot of upfront knowledge this braking event was going to happen. You consciously knew to put your weight back, which often does not happen in a panic break. I would increase the stopping distance to at least 7 of those spots, making it 63 feet.

    I have watched this bike on Amazon but there have been some that had issues with bad welding such as the fork getting welded backwards. I'm sure that's a fluke on some but based off the bike seeing it in action and close up it looks to be a solid bike.

    • @mrgreen2769
      @mrgreen2769 2 місяці тому

      While you can ride this off-road one thing to note is the rims and the fork are carbon steel. Just be careful not to go overboard or accidents can happen. I am really impressed with the acceleration on this bike but if you truly want to commute for distance you'll have to factor in weight and PAS mode setting to maximize your battery. I figure about 20 miles tops with PAS and 10 to 12 throttle if you are around 220 to 230 weight.

      Just a note, ActBest and Qlife are the same manufacturers. It's interesting how they rip consumers off over a different bike color. The vibrant colors like orange, red and white sell $30.00 more and the ridiculous price they tack on just to add two plastic fenders and a rack. I'm sure these bikes are nice budget ebikes but they're going to squeeze out every dime they can out of you for slight cosmetic changes. The frame does look solid and also light enough should you just want to ride the bike without e assistance. Most people confuse the actual range on these ebikes and don't take this into consideration that they add that to your average riding without e power. I can easily put 10 to 15 miles a day on my regular mountain bike but if done right you can extend that distance via pedal assist.

    • @mrgreen2769
