This bike isn't perfect, but it's a blast. This bike is a beast, it has not stopped. I can ride through anything. The motor is so powerful I can ride up an unbelievably steep hill with the throttle alone. Riding up stairs? Check. I ride through bushes, boulders without issue.
Pros:
- powerful as heck
- can take a beating
- great battery capacity
- plenty of acceleration and stopping power
- powder coated black, looks great, gets lots of comments
- front suspension is great
- upgraded light makes it easy to crush bushes at night
- PIN protected startup makes me feel better about potential theft resale
Cons (none of these are that bad):
- throttle is not clean at all - a very slight amount of throttle will make the bike jump and accelerate too quickly to be used to creep or nudge forward
- frame has a little flex which makes the battery a bit squeaky
- software is a little slow (interface is slow to reflect my speed as I accelerate/slow down, can be slow to respond to assist changes)
- fenders will get tweaked if the bike falls, you'll need to tweak them back into place (this is probably an unavoidable issue which will be true for any bike)
- some kind of software glitch (integer overflow?) makes my bike show that I have 4.2 million miles on the odometer
I would recommend this bike to anyone who wants an unstoppable, fun, versatile bike.
