Jetson presents a very nicely packaged product that upon inspection is built with quality parts and craftsmanship. The bolt electric bike is everything it claims to be, but in my case not quite everything i hoped it could be. This is not in any way a negative reflection on the Bike, i just had unreasonable expectations that this bike would handle all of my 240lbs. The bike was unboxed and put together with tires aired up in 15 minutes, we placed it on the charger over night. In the morning i put it to the test that i was hoping it would exceed or meet my expectations, i have a commute to my office this is about a mile , long enough i don't want to walk, short enough it's a hassle to load into a car and drive, and just right for an alternative commuting option. I got myself familiar with the controls on the handle bars, i had forgotten it was equipped with cruise control, a very nice touch for the longer excursions that are going to be uninterrupted by intersections and other traffic, and got underway on my commute, my travel into the office began nicely and was everything i hoped it would be, 15 mph is a comfortable pace, there were times i wished it had a little more speed, but i think it's wise given the short wheel base and the physics at play to keep it limited to this speed. I successfully navigated the first half of the commute that was down neighborhood asphalt streets with very light traffic, I waited at the intersection traffic light for the crosswalk to allow me to cross the more heavily travelled four lane road, and got on my way down a commuter sidewalk, as i came up behind an older woman walking she had no idea i was quickly approaching, i thought it best to let her know of my presence before i blew past her on my silent ride, without shouting i said, "on your left" but despite my attempts not to startle, because this bike is so silent my voice coming from seemingly nowhere still made her jump, i understand the necessity of the bell attached to the handle bars. I needed to know offroad capabilities of this bike because my commute is considerably short if i cut through a vacant lot, I immediately found out this was not ideal for the bike and even grassy fields give it some trouble. I arrived at work with no further incident and felt quite positive about the bike. The return commute was what did the bike in for me, although slight there is an incline on the way home and this combined with my weight made the bike almost crawl on the way home.
