Bolt Electric Bike
Pretty fun!

This is a great little electric bike. It was easy to put together and charged for the first time fairly quickly. I took my first ride to work today! Overall, it was a pretty good ride. The tires seem fairly tough, and I took them through a slightly rocky area as well as a somewhat sandy area and I never felt like they were going to slip or slide out from under me. I do worry that if I go over something sharp, it may cause a leak, but so far so good. The ride is fairly smooth, with just some bumping on the bigger curbs, but that is just like a regular bike, so no complaints. The power on hills was a bit disappointing. I'm not overly heavy (135lbs), but the drag up some of the inclines made it seem like a full throttle was really struggling, so much so that I walked up one hill in order to save some battery life. I tried the cruise control at one point; not a necessary feature, but a fun little addition to the bike. This is my first long ride (~30 minutes) so it make take some time, but I didn't feel like it cornered super well, causing me to have to slow down to almost a stop on a few sharp turns. But I made it to work unscathed, and with battery still saying it had a charge. I can't wait to use this all summer, save some gas and the environment, and enjoy the fresh air and sunshine. I would definitely recommend if you are looking for an electric bike!!
UPDATE: After having this bike for weeks, I was looking around at the app and realized that the bike's speed was not set at its full potential. Now that I changed it from 12mph to 15mph, the bike has so much more power and takes hills so much better! Wish I had known to do this from the beginning. Much more zippy!! Love it.
