    I actually quite like the look of it. I wish they had a clear photo of someone riding it so we could see the proportions better.

    That said, it seems really heavy for its size, at 88lbs with one battery installed. Also, only 50-mile range with one battery at the lowest assist level is not great, but understandable given its torque and hauling capacity.

      Picture 3/6 on the site show 2 people standing next to them picture 2/6 shows it from the back with someone riding but chops out most of what you may have wanted to see.

    Ah, yes! Another highly complex ebike designed to carry massive loads, but we’ll give you a 1-year warranty. /s

    When will ebike companies stop treating their products like toys and start acting like they are selling vehicles?

    5–10 year warranties should be the minimum for an ebike. And the frames should always be a lifetime warranty.

        I actually believe that nearly all e-bikes have crappy warranties. The “best” that I’ve seen is Tern, and they give you 10 years.

        But I go back to my original point: If these companies are serious about selling vehicles, they really need to have more confidence and offer more generous warranties.

        If they are treating these bikes as disposable, then cheap or not, they are going to be viewed as toys.

        Sure, the electronics and battery can be 2 -5 years, because they aren’t expected to last a lifetime, but 1 year on a frame is a joke.

        I wouldn’t haul 400lbs on a frame that the manufacturer isn’t even confident about.
