I have had this bike for around 2 weeks and it is a blast, there were a couple things that i was worried about before the bike arrived but it exceeded my expectations, by alot! Still has some cons but its a great bike and i will recommend it to everyone who wants to be “street legal”
Pros :
- absolutely NO throttle delay and insane torque ( for a hub motor this is a big upside )
- very nice display to keep track of everything on the ride
-great suspension, and a super cushy seat, feels like riding on a cloud!
- the best range i have ever seen on a Emoto, the 72v 50Ah battery will last for days on end, i rode almost all day yesterday ( 11 am to 8 pm ) and it only went down to 89%!
Cons :
-INSANELY heavy, website states ~120 lbs, its more in the 150 - 160 range, so it handles more like a motorbike than something of a surron, however there is a pro to this- since its so heavy its SUPER stable at high speeds.
-the bike uses a nfc card instead of a key which is kinda annoying, i just bought a wristband and put the nfc card on it and its way better.
- the chain hits the frame on bumps which makes a loud ding sound, even with it fully tightened, it would still hit, i fixed this by putting foam on the swingarm so it would no longer damage the frame and make noise
Overall this bike is superb, sure it comes from the factory with some wabi sabi but all of the fixes i did were $2.00 DIY 30 second stuff, its whisper quiet and it hauls!, if you were worried that it could not keep up / compete with a surron dont worry cuz this thing will gap any stock lbx, i love this bike and def would recommend (pls ask any questions i will answer)
