What Do You Look for in an E-Bike?

[Amber Valley Guy]

Is that a 80 degree head tube angle on that monstrosity? It must be terrifying at any speed over 10mph, like a penny farthing. And a squishy ladies spin class saddle?

That's arguably an insult to turds ..

You are right. Should have thought that out a little more. Sorry

Honest review.

The bad :
The Name. Seriously it's a huge marketing mistake.

With the rear rack and fenders it's getting close to 50kgs. That's way too heavy for an ebike. It really is a mo-ped.

It will only be legal in the US.

Part of the weight problem is all that suspension, on a bike that is completely unsuited to off-road, because of all the weight and that head angle.

No name suspension is a huge risk when buying an ebike. A set of cheap Suntour coil forks would have been much more saleable.

You don't need AWD on a bike that won't be used off-road. It just reduces the range powering 2 motors.

As an ebike. It's not good looking, because of that really chunky downtube and bottom bracket area. As a mo-ped. It's not bad looking.

The Tourney Gears are not going to last long. No one will want to pay US$1600 for an ebike with Tourney gears. Needs Altus as a minimum.

And this leads to my biggest criticism. Its a US$1600 ebike, built with the cheapest components. It's going to be a reliability headache, from a bike that's priced as something that is long lasting.

The good :
I like the cockpit for a mo-ped.

It would make a good deliveries bike, if it had more robust gears and front fork.

In conclusion :

As it is. I cannot see a market for this bike, where the customer would be very happy with the bike.

Hey everyone! New brand on the block—Itstands here.

We’ve been designing and testing e-bikes for a while now, but no one knows what riders truly need better than the community itself. So, tell us—what features make or break an e-bike for you? Long range? Powerful torque? Lightweight frame? Something else?

Thats horriffic!

Just a suggestion. For you. You might learn a lot more taking that tank out for a ride with real E mountain bikers. Include some climbs and descents and try to keep up with the group. Wear a good helmet and have a medical team close by so they can revive you after you go over the bars on the first drop and that thing lands on top of you. Best way to learn is to get some real experience on the trails.

I've never seen anything so ugly.

I still again prefer the predator !

Or maybe my old bike of yesteryear

I had one of those...

I went on the site and looked at the videos and the other bikes on the site.
This is not an eMTB and it's not something I'd have any interest in.

It would need to have a mid drive motor, name brand motor, suspension, battery and drivetrain.
It would need to be significantly lighter
It would need to be significantly better
It would need to be significantly redesigned - the headtube angle terrifies me as a mountain biker.
Overal - it misses on almost every level for me.
I don't mean to be rude, but this is definitely not the place to be asking for positive input - first and foremost, this is the haven of mountainbikers. Mountainbkiers who are riding (or interested in) electric mountain bikes.
Research "Electric Mountain Bikes"and you'll get the idea - the geometry, the components, the look, the weight. Everything is wrong for this community.
It might go very well in the US for non-mountainbikers. But I can't see it. There's lots of competition in that space and the options are far better.
