Does as expected + more!,
This review is from: Urban Mover Sprite Men's Electric Hybrid Bike (26-Inch Wheels) (Sports)
I live just close enough to work that I could take a bike instead of driving. The thing is, I sweat wayyyy too easily so I first considered a scooter. After some research, keeping up with maintenance, storage, and having to get a license if the scooter was 50cc+, I figured it wasn't worth it.
Then I came across some electric bikes. I did my research once again and found that domestic electric bikes are not as efficient as European. I got the latest model of this bike from REI[dot]com. This bike comes with a wheel lock, a chain to lock the bike up, front LED light powered by the front wheel, and a back light that is powered by the vibrations of riding. I just took the bike out today for about an hour (the longest I have used this bike so far) I probably road about 5 miles (maybe more) with many MANY hills and the battery still has about 3/4ths of a charge left. Just to see how much I was being spoiled by this electric assisted motor, I turned off the battery at one point and it was so difficult. That's how you know you get your moneys worth! Anyways, the way the bike works is that the moment you start peddling the motor will kick in and boost you speed so that you can peddle comfortably while maintaining a speed of about 15 mph. Even up hill, you may not go 15mph but you do about 5 - 10 (depends on the hill) which is awesome. While riding my bike today I passed all the other bikers on the trail while going up hill and I watched their faces becomes confused because they have no idea how I look so calm while moving faster than the rest of them. It was awesome! The only reason why I say to purchase this bike at REI is because they have the latest models and they offer free professional assembly if you do in-store-pickup and free shipping. Their website might say that the bike is 2g's but sometimes they have a bike special of 20% off. In conclusion, I love this bike and it seems like it will last me a long time. EDIT: according to google maps, my bike ride was about 12.5 miles and the battery is at least 2/3rds charged |
