    18:49 DAD! HELMETS!!! I'm sure you are going to take a beating for this but OMG don't allow those beautiful and precious kids on any kind of wheeled device without helmets. You're a grown ssa man and should be allowed to enjoy your ride however you like but I myself have responded on 2 child bicycle fatalities and that's too many. I LOVE your content and you are my favorite Ebike reviewer. We need Ebike advocates like you and you have a huge voice right now so please amend this oversight. I've always felt most alive on 2 wheels since first learned to ride so keep those kids rolling on bikes!

      Agreed! I just thought it was really genuine and humble the way the energy of this person conveyed the message rather than lighting him up and being a zealot. Those demeaning deliveries are pointless and fall of deaf ears and people tune them out or get defensive. This is one people can actually receive.

    I'm looking specifically for a cargo Ebike to replace my car when I move later this month. I think this bike may be for me after seeing this review. I've seen some others as well but the motor, torque sensor, brakes, and sheer cargo space may edge this one over the others I've been looking at. Thanks for the review!

    Super practical and install-friendly mods! I used to tow my kiddos (combined 70 lbs) w/ my 1500w rear hub and Burley Bee trailer. Sadly sold the trailer before I started my channel - would have made a cool video. Thanks as always! 👍👍

    A cargo bike review that actually includes hauling CARGO?! Amazing! It's crazy how many cargo bike reviews don't actually haul anything.
    I just recently got the Aventon Abound, this seems to be a good contender to that. 20 vs 28mph option. "Slim" vs fat tire. Both could benefit from 1 more gear.

    I have over 1000 miles on my A8 and totaly agree that this is the best value on the market right now. I like to take long rides (50 miles) and with this bike there is no range anxiety and thats using throttle only average speed around 25 mph. You will have to pad that seat if you plan on riding over 10 miles at a time but there are lots of seat cushions on amazon. Great review!

    This is pretty slick "utility ebike". The frame looks as beefy and smooth as you can get in this segment. Nice display, very powerful hub motor. Only reason I personally wouldn't buy this is that, at this weight level, I would need to spend as much on a new bike rack and new hitch even to accommodate taking this with me on vacation. Whereas something like the Lectric XP 3.0 can fold up in a bin and go inside the car.

    I am astonished that Calif does not have a helmet law. In all your videos, riding at speed, in traffic, and on some dicey surfaces I would have thought a helmet would be essential. Also, would you mind explaining the traffic rules, as I see you failing to stop for STOP signs and red lights.... I know about the right turn on red rule, but video shows running stop signs going straight ahead. Would enjoy hearing your comments on this, as a former state trooper I find it curious.

You U.S based people are lucky and spoilt for choice, getting hard to get anything with decent power here in England, especially since they took a few companies to court and prosecuted for selling bikes over 250w. Also many cities in the middle of a clampdown on overpowered ebikes right now brought on by wreckless riding in pedestrianised areas by food delivery bikers and sadly a few deaths of teenagers on surron style bikes

    This in- the- frame battery is for this specific bike only. In the years ahead, If the company goes bust or phases out the model , a replacement battery will be expensive and hard to find , if you can find one at all. I prefer bikes that use an off- the- shelf generic battery.
