    This man found one song he likes and he just said, "Yes, I will use this in every video"
  • Hey, that's what my ex-girlfriend called me 5mm Allen.
  • Sounds like the perfect ebike for someone in a big city that could take it on a subway, bus, etc and use it to go that last mile. Even if you parked a bit further out and used it to go a mile at 12mph that's a lot better than walking!
  • For $260 that is a marvellous vehicle. Stylish, reliable, easy to park and load onto your car, fun to ride and maintenance free (zero gas-cost worries, no oil changing, no parking meter tensions, etc) So much fun.
  • Most e-bikes and e-scooters from China come pre set in a beginner/ insurance friendly power limitation. Most can be taken out of this mode by using a combination involving the power button. Might be the case with this one, give it a Google and see you can get it some more juice lol
  • This would be nice for a college campus. That would also be where you need the license plate holder, since many places require registration to fight theft.
  • Reliable, light weight enough to carry up a flight of stairs, yet powerful enough for bigger riders and no more than $500 - $600. Whoever can do this will become wealthy beyond belief. Great channel. I prefer yours over EBR because he usually goes for $2,000 ebikes. With that kind of money, I would get a used motorcycle.
  • @bfarm44
    At first I was like cool but then I realized at 290 lbs it’s going up my ass and will need surgical removal.
  • 20 years ago I had a Chinese bicycle, 3 speed. It was well made. It also had a decal in Chinese and in English which said " Bicycle Is My Good Friend". 🐼😸
  • @BKLau70
    Most people in China use the peddle. Electric power is to help ease the journey, extending distance.
  • The breaks are bent like that so they don't get damaged in shipping my every one of my Diamondbacks came like that
  • When I lived in Shenzhen about a decade ago, I used a similar ebike. It was perfect for my daily commute, and it fit in the elevator as you mentioned. It was perfect. Too bad they don't sell them stateside for a reasonable price.
  • @007vix
    I’d LOVE something like that. Remember, not everyone lives in cities. For me, based on what you’ve estimated for mileage, in my town, it could easily get me to work and back all week and maybe a trip into the town centre too before a recharge. I think for people like myself who live in smaller places, it would be great.
  • You know it's quality when it arrives in a colour coded box.
  • @100nzymes
    Cool, it looks small enough to fit in the back of a hatch back car
  • @MaxGoddur
    Have to wonder how many and what type of cells are in the battery pack. The cost of the bike would be worth the cell cost.
