This ebike is awesome! Unbelievably quick for its size / weight thanks to the the mid-drive 1000w Bafang motor. It is a torque monster, especially when you hit the throttle in lower gears at lower speeds. Hold on tight to those handlebars! I noticed it actually can pull well above 1000w so that must be the regular running watts and not peak. It can peak a bit higher and is conservatively rated unlike some other ebikes that advertise peak watts. The color screen is awesome and bright and easy to read, even at high speeds. It can be changed to miles / mph instead of km / kmph. It allows you to switch between 5 levels of pedal assist, but there is also sport and eco modes with 5 levels each so it’s more like 10 levels. I tend to ride it around Florida (flat roads) in pedal assist 5 in eco mode and that allows me to easily cruise around 20mph without having to pedal hard while still getting good range (30 miles). I’m sure you could get much farther in the lower pas modes, but I like having at least a 20mph breeze in my face. (It’s hot here in FL in the summer!) Whenever I get a small hill or want a little boost I’ll switch to sport mode and the thing just takes off, getting to 30mph plus pretty quickly. In sport mode when you get below 50% battery, it will sometimes cut the power way down to like 500w. I would assume this has to do with the lower voltage as the battery drains and what you are trying to demand. If you leave it in eco mode though (even at level 5), it will more consistently pull up to 1000w well below 50% battery level and doesn’t cut the power at all. (I’ve run it down below 20% before charging and it never cut out. It comes with a headlight and taillight that run off the battery power which is nice. With the lights turned off from the main controller, the taillight still comes on when you hit either brake, just like a car / motorcycle brake light. I added a second much brighter headlight though for riding at night after my first nighttime ride, as I wanted longer visibility for the higher speeds. Between the fat tires and the front shock, it soaks up bumps really well for a smooth comfortable ride. I did upgrade the seat but the one it comes with isn’t bad. The Tektro hydraulic disc brakes are awesome for slowing this heavy bike down, even from higher speeds. I was very impressed. I’ve had it just over 2 months and it has held up really well with the 215 miles I’ve accumulated. The only thing that happened to me was the kickstand foot fell off the end. The screw likely just loosened up without me realizing. Customer service said they would check to see where I could get a replacement part or if they had one to sell me, but then I was disappointed they never got back to me as promised. I work in client service myself and was underwhelmed with the responses I received. For a cheap part like a kickstand, it would have gone a long way if they just offered to send a replacement considering this was a larger purchase. I wouldn’t let that stop you from buying this bike though. I searched for a long time and it is a tremendous value for the price they are asking. I’d buy it again in a heartbeat, regardless if the service. I ended up finding the replacement kickstand at REI for something like $25 or $30, but it was difficult to locate an exact replacement, and the replacement I found wasn’t threaded for the top two holes like the original. I ended up just taking the foot from the new one and moving it back to the original kickstand top. You’ll want to keep the chain well lubed as mid drive ebikes will wear the chain / rear cassette faster than a regular bike or hub drive. The rear rack is great for the Ortlieb pannier bags I added and they grab either the upper or lower bars great for easy removal and reattaching. I could go on and on about this bike but the review is already getting a bit lengthy so I will just leave you with this. BUY IT!!!! YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!!! Also, buying on EBay was a great option to take advantage of 0% financing for 24 months with Paypal Credit.

I am 58 years old, and I’d give this bike 6 stars if I could. I think it is the best bike you can buy for the money. The Ultra Max motor has outstanding power and the torque sensor makes biking feel much more natural than the cadence style PAS. I have been on 40 mile rides on paved bike trails and had about 20% battery power left. This was mostly using pedal assist 2 and 3 on mostly level rides with a few hills.
I use the front basket for groceries along with the rear basket that I added. The rear rack is nice in that it has a second set of narrower side bars for rear side bags. This bike has convinced my best friend and a close cousin to buy kits to convert their bikes to ebikes. If you are considering a fat tire ebike, get this one. I searched the internet for months before I settled on this one. It is the best bike for the money.

Best American Ebike company Period !!! Best Value for you money ,ive done my research and BPM is by far the Best Value and Ebike for your money.

Luv the bike. So did the bike thief that just peddled off with it….without the seat and battery. I forgot to use my cable lock, so I will be getting another one as soon as the Insurance Check arrives. 🙁

So make sure to lock it up folks!

My favorite bike so far… Very nice design, well made, great price!
