I’ve own both and it’s not even close. The Velotric with its current sale is a no brainer and not only rides faster, feels more reliable, The customer service is even better. Lectric feels outdated, looks like every other folding ebike and feels clunky to ride. I feel like the Lectric is a great first ebike, but Velotric Fold 1 is the premium buy here.
Thanks for this review. I've never owned a mazda, but mostly Hyundais, Toyota, and Honda. I test drove a 2021 CX5 GTR i - Active AWD. I loved the luxury look and feel of the interior and exterior. I wasn't a fan of the lack of storage, and leg room in the back. I need to be able to pack up and take short road trips with 2 -6 ft boys, so unsure about that. Also expected a panoramic sunroof to come standard with this trim as it does in older model competitors. The drive felt stiff and unstable to me, but I know that would just take some getting used to. I took a quick look at the 2022 or 2023 CX50 and saw that they added what appears to be a larger sunroof, but its more like 2 sunroofs put together lol, not a true panoramic, so that's a miss. This review is making me rethink my decision to walk away.
Also Velotric has a couple other color frame selections when being compared to lectric bikes. (they only mainly have two color selections: Black or White).
Got me a 21 touring and I like its proven design. Nothing fancy, just honest 6spd, non turbo, no Awd. No added complexity. Feels like a Lexus for 50% less.
Excellent review. I just purchased a used 2021 CX-5 GT. Absolutely love this car. I did not get the turbo either. Power seems to be adequate and I won't have to worry about the engine being overstressed by a turbocharger.
Ok, I’ve owned my 2015 CX-5 for just over 2 years now and love everything about it. However the year after Mazda and practically every other automaker went from a lifelong never fail emergency brake to some horrible electric one, that not only would be very expensive to repair, but it’s practically built to fail! Please feel free to let me know if you ever knew of anyone that has had a problem with one,or if so how expensive it wasn’t to repair. As for turbos, no no no and no!! Again just trouble waiting to happen. You can’t keep pushing more and more power from a damn 4 cylinder engine. Either buy a different car or put a v6 in it. And really, just how many people are going to keep on top of the required maintenance and costs to keep them running properly?? Mazda are you paying attention?? Because I can assure you that short of a lifetime repair at no cost to me, you have definitely lost me as a future buyer of another CX-5
I personally find selfie camera is a waste of time The rear camera is always better therefore manufacturers should take advantage of that and just put a small screen to the rear of the phone so people can position their face to take a selfie instead of the degraded front camera that phones always have, leaving the front panel totally visible without any distraction or discomfort to the user
Forgot to mentioned riding Velotric F1 for more than 150 mi already. I have replaced first Ride1Up Portola step-thru folder due to malfunctioning of its brake lever power cut-off feature, otherwise the lighter among competition in this below $1K most popular price range market. Replaced before Aipas A2 step-thru folder since like Lectric XP 3.0 step-thru folder is heavier, 65 pounds and in order to transport need additional operation taking the heavy battery from the frame. Otherwise both are only 1 pound heavier than heavy 64lbs Velotric F1. Who knows better the discussed e-bike models than the owner of them, and what I have shared with you is the opinion of a owner driving his e-bikes miles and miles, transporting them and storing them. Having the battery inside the frame like $699 Aipas A2 Elite, $999 Ride1Up Portola & $999 Lectric XP 3.0 step-thru has its own advantages as well, the major your most expensive and less longevity part is the battery. Keeping the battery inside the frame integrated out of any outdoor ailments is beneficial, also the battery stays cooler inside the frame even when one store the e-bike in hotter room, garage. So, you do not need to remove your battery every time you stop riding and when storing your ebike. In contrast with battery attached outside the frame as in the case of $1,200 Velotric Fold1 you have battery exposure to outdoor ailments, extreme temps, including when storing, so you can not store the battery in your freezing or sauna hot garage, every time you stop riding you take your battery inside where the temps are not extreme. Especially the heat is the major killer of your battery, period.
Velotric Fold1 is not anymore compared with the best folders, step-thru in the most popular price range market, $1K and below. It competes now in different more expensive price range of $1,200 up to $1,600 like Aventon, Rad and other better equipped than Fold1 step-thru folders. Velotric Fold 1 is even less equipped than many other really budget e-bikes below $1K. Velotric F1 is missing integrated rear light with turning signal plus stop light, which for example $699 e-bike like Aipas A2 provides. Its display is of a lesser functionality than $699 Aipas A2 and others much cheaper than $1,200 Velotric Fold 1. When Velotric F1 was on sale for $999 its primary competitors with better equipment were Lectric XP 3.0 step-thru, Ride1Up Portola, Aipas A2, all below $1K. If Velotric F1 was lighter than 60 lbs like Portola and kept its price below $1K it could have been a competitor in this most popular e-bike market of step-thru folders, but the company mgmt made a huge mistake positioning Velotric F1 in more expensive e-bike market segment. Now competing price-wise with much better equipped step-thru folders like bike stores brands.
Thanks my dude!! I'm just waiting to switch from Tmobile to Mint until I get the new iPhone. I doubt it's gonna suddenly NOT be compatible, but Apple's been getting odd about the big companies, so I need to make sure the new iPhone will even HAVE an unlocked option. I can't imagine they wouldn't but STILL... haha! Thanks for the vid!
Like the review overall but all the problems discussed in the video are not deal breakers as far as I'm concerned. The phone was developed specifically for gaming. I look at the camera as an added bonus. I rarely use the camera on any of my phones so I really don't care about the camera performance. I've never given any thoughts on having a wireless charging phone so that's not an issue also. I'm not a gamer but the price, performance and the aesthetically pleasing design are the features I mostly like about this phone.
hey so i have this mic but i have a problem where everyone says i sounds really quiet and i turned the nob up and i checked all my settings but theres no way is there like something else i need to help with the volume??
The plus is one can try for 3 months for $45 to see if their service works for you. If it doesn't, don't port you primary number over and pay for a year of service. The three month test at $45 is a great way to test drive it for ~90 days. If it works, port over your number. If it doesn't, don't. Most phone support multiple eSIMs so you can have a Mint eSIM to test drive Mint while keeping your primary number where it is. (I'm assuming the person trying this has an unlocked phone they can use for the "test drive") I tried it for 3 months on an old iPhone 7 that was compatible with TMO and ATT MVNOs. It worked for me, so I signed up for a year. The only place it let me down is a recent trip to Alaska. But, I have a work line on ATT and my wife's phone is on Boost Infinite and Visible, so I was never out of touch if there was any service available. My strategy has been to have multiple carriers in my pocket. The MVNOs make this possible. And, all for less than I was paying for a single line on ATT.
even with moderate use the screen crease tends to fracture. dont buy these phones or you will regret. it still functions but there is a noticeable crazy crack after only 1 years use.
I got a 30$ gift card for Amazon and I bought these for $25.99 and there was a 6$ coupon available as well so I got a discount. 2 weeks in and they are absolutely worth it for the price. There's really nothing to complain about on these. But to each their own. Everyone has their own views and opinions. Plus I got a 18 month warranty.
