The following points have been compiled from various reviews. When you read a bike’s reviews, patterns can be seen.
Strengths
• Great bike. I couldn't be more happy with it
• It handled a challenging steep trail with a lot of rocks and roots really well, suspension is great.
• A well-designed, well-made affordable entry level electric mountain bike with full suspension.
• Powerful electric drive system is very quiet and smooth
• The incredible shocks make it feel like you’re sitting on a really light weight dirt bike.
• The pedal assist works great and allows me to get a workout in without killing my old man body on these large, hilly roads
• A magnificent beauty
• It was 95% put together when it arrived. Remaining set up was easy.
• Adjustable rear suspension really smooths out the bumps and allows you to ride for extended periods of time without getting a sore backside (a seat upgrade is a must).
• Has plenty of power and I can get up to 26-27 MPH pedal assist and 24-25 using throttle alone.
• Couldn't find anything close in terms of power and equipment for the price. Would recommend for anyone wanting a full suspension bike on a budget.
• Looks great, rides great, battery seems to last a long time.
• Super quiet nobody even knows you're on an electric bike riding past them.
• Does flat terrain, climbs and everything with ease. But still a workout.
• It makes you feel like a kid
• Helps me physically and mentally want to get out there and totally enjoy my workout
Weaknesses
• Could use a more powerful motor, but for the price it is good.
• A seat upgrade is a must.
