When the box arrived I was overly excited. I knew I had to get everything set up so it could charge ASAP. I was surprised on the weight of the bike compared to its size. It made me think about my wife or a child hauling it onto the train or up some stairs. I think they would have a hard time with that. Putting the bike together was fairly easy. The handle bars just fold up and snap into place. The lock ring is made of plastic, not sure how fragile the plastic is but it is slightly concerning. It also just rotates on the bike. I went to put the bell on and couldn’t find it in the bag. It was loosely attached to the handlebars. I then went to adjust the fender with the provided tool and the size of the bolt isn’t the same for both the back and front. Luckily I have tools, but some individuals might not. The foot pegs are also plastic with a nut molded into them to screw onto the bolts on the bike. One peg is slightly bent after screwing on. I would have liked if those were metal. After getting everything put together and charged it was time for the test drive. I am 6’1 around 220-230lbs, so closer to the max weight of the bike. On flat ground, I had a blast zipping around. I don’t think I ever came close to the 16mph that the bike can do. I had noticed that the brake handle was installed under the grip and not where it would be normally so I had to get the tools out again to fix that. That’s when I also noticed a chip in the paint on the handlebars. There are some streets that have about a 20 degree slope in my area. The bike did not like those at all. I had to do one of those awkward walks while still on the bike to keep it moving. Not my finest moment. My wife had a better time on the bike. She is more than 100lbs lighter than me and a foot shorter. She noticed the lack of power on slopes as well. Overall it was fun, more so for her since she said it looked like I was riding a clown bike. I don’t know if this will be coming with on any trips like I had planned since it’s really only useful on completely flat ground.
I received this product at a discount in exchange for my honest opinion.
