I'm 80 years old and been riding a top of the line E bike but during the eight months I’ve owned it I became increasingly aware that my balance and reaction time weren't quite what they used to be. I started thinking about what could happen if I took a tumble. A broken hip at my age could be life changing so my rides gradually became limited to short trips to the local grocery store for things like milk or bread. And of course I'd invariably find a special on fresh apple pies! The problem was there wasn't enough room on the bike to bring much home, so I'd end up taking the car anyway.
Three weeks ago I decided to buy a Biktrix Skytrike and I couldn't be happier with my decision.
The upright riding position is much easier on my back and arms, and the generous storage capacity is fantastic.
I can actually do a week's worth of grocery shopping and bring it all home with me.
But the biggest difference is how much more secure I feel. I'm enjoying riding again instead of worrying about whether I’m going to lose my balance.
In fact in just three weeks with the Skytrike I've already ridden more kilometers than I did on my E bike during the entire 8 months I owned it.
I'm very happy to have found a way to keep enjoying the freedom of riding - and now, when I see those apple pies “on sale” I've got room for one!
Wonderful Ebike, but this was not my bike of choice the XD was .
The bike handle beautiful , not to much bad things to say just a bit heavy.
Motor puts out enough power to go over most hills with ease .
The computer only has one wheel size and that a bummer, it should have the other wheel sizes 27.5 and 29.
That seat may be good for some one that doesn't ride on a regular ,but it is not comfortable on a long ride like 50 -60 miles
it too slippery and uncomfortable, I purchase a Rockbros seat wave Ergonomic High- Density Foam Crotch -Friendly , love this seat I do 30,40, 50, 60 miles no pain and it not on flat roads we have hills, and lots of them ,when you sit you stay in that one
position and just pedal ,... otherwise great e bike just needs to be made lighter....
This is my second rogue hawk. I originally bought a 18 inch frame. I love the bike, just to big. I ordered the 16 inch frame and absolutely love it. Love the power and ride of the bike.
Already have a 1000 watt 26” x 4” fat tire full suspension step-over e-bike and was looking for something more powerful for the steep hills and trails that I regularly use. I also decided to look for a step-thru model e-bike as am now 70 yrs of age and finding that throwing my leg over panniers and bags on the rear rack is getting to be a little more difficult. I purchased the RogueHawk FS ST 2 | 70V (step-thru model) e-bike at the beginning of September as it seemed to meet my requirements. Had no trouble assembling the bike once it arrived by courier a few days later. I’ve put 300+ KMS on it in the couple of weeks I’ve had it and really love the RogueHawk in every way so far. After the first ride, I switched the seat as the seat that came with it was not very comfortable. It is a very powerful, fast, heavy bike, and it has exceeded my expectations. The RogueHawk is making every ride very enjoyable.
The new battery works great. When I fully load my bike, I can go 9 miles before it drops to 90%.
Received my bike a couple of weeks ago and love it. Has met and exceeded my expectations for feel, assist when I want it and overall performance. In fact I am so happy my only disappointment is our vertical wall rack requires a strap to safely secure the bike which is not required for our other Biktrix bike. The final bonus is “BUY CANADAIN” and in no way disappointred.
Connecting to my battery with the original charger became more and more difficult. This was our own fault when my wife accidentally set a heavy bag on it and bent the plug at the battery. For safety reasons I felt it best to buy another charger. They verified the correct one and in a few days it arrived. Plugged it in and performs perfectly as it should. Again, the damage to the original charger was our fault!
Bought x2 this in June got it shipped to Calgary new shop . Cooper got it all ready to go as I needed to bring one to a friend in BC. Had an issue last week with front brake and they ordered the brake lever just in case they had to replace it then called me in to get it done. Quick job under warranty. They also helped me load it back on my bike rack as I had an injured leg when I went o pick it up. Great service !!
Love riding this bike around town to ceremonies in Canmore ( I'm a marriage commissioner) and going to get milk and eggs!
I ordered a Magura brake lever, it came quick and efficiently, and it was the correct part. Also their AI troubleshooting was great for an issue I was having. They also called me just to see if it solved my issue. Great company!
Le connecteur femelle sur la batterie est à changer ….
I have done over 6.000km with these pedals, and they are great.
Compared to the stock pedals, they are:
- bigger overall
- better bearings
- more grip on your shoes
And I finally got the coloured grips to match the pedals as well!
Nice bike front basket but kind of sucked to have to pay $17.75 'duty'.
Setting up ebike I would recommend almost a professional to set up for you. I would recommend making sure everything is tight for safety wise. Once assembled and ready I would say just knowing about how to use the controls. Front light and the back light. I have been enjoying my ride to work and around town. 700+ km on it I give the ebike a good 4/5 stars or 8/10!! Worth the money I spent. I haven't had any major issues at all so far. I keep the tires 55 psi and making sure I check regularly.
Fast delivery part as describe thanks
$25 product. $20 shipping. Then a bill from UPS for going from Canada to California that we were told nothing about.
Then we attempt a return / refund because it didn't work with our bike .. sorry, we don't do that .. because .. we don't want to.
Then I find a similar product from WalMart for $8 with free shipping. Yeah, right, EIGHT DOLLARS.
We paid $25 + $20 + $14 =$59 for an $8 product. I don't think "pathetic" is too harsh.
I love this bike it’s super fast and ride like a dream I’m 52 years old and love this bike.
This is the 1st ebike I have ever owned and ridden so I have nothing to compare it to. That being said, the stunner LT8 is sturdy, it's comfortable, and the torque sensor responds perfectly for the style of riding I like, it feels very natural. I live in an area with lots of up and down grades. Some long and gradual, some short and relatively steep and the torque sensor on the stunner makes tackling these hills fun ... which is definitely not the case on my regular bike. The stunner LT8 has lots of power too. You can actually accelerate up hills, if that's something you wanna do ... I can guarantee you're gonna try it. And the throttle is a nice option for quick and easy starts on hills or flat ground. So far, the battery range seems exceptional. I've put 30(ish) km on the bike, so not much yet, but the battery is still at 96%.
All in all ... for the limited time I've used it ... definite thumbs up for an ebike you can use anywhere. Paved roads, trails, gravel, hills, or flat terrain.
