1000k Fortis ebike review 

I enjoy your travels Greg.

Thanks for the review mate, appreciate the level of detail

Thank you,Greg! I finally got my bike after watching your video, it is powerful enough for me to do some exercise & do some short trip shopping. I even manage to get 45 km/hr without much effort when I go downhill, really fun indeed...Really appreciate your video a lot, thx mate! :-p

I'm glad to see that you have enough sense to wear a full-face helmet. Anyone who has gone over the handle bars of a bicycle that ,going full speed , suddenly has to stop, knows where you are coming from.

Thanks for the review mate. Purchased the Fortis skinny tyre version and like you it will be my first ebike. 👍

Thanks for this helpful video! I am doing some online shopping trying very hard to decide which one to pick. The Fortis bikes seem like a really great value for money (and the price is good!), though I think I'd go for the one with the regular tyres since I plan to bike on concrete paths etc for the most part. I'm also out in East Melbourne! Another 7 weeks of lockdown to go....I need me a bike pronto 😂

Well done 👍

Very enjoyable review! Considering getting one for my wife. Your mate might want to consider putting his seat up a bit higher, I've been advised by both my physio and a remedial therapist that having a low seat like that can lead to a 'knee explosion' longer term, even if it may feel better short term (I was getting pain at the top of my knee). Might not be the same load on an ebike but over time he may have dramas.

Sorry matey forgot to ask, with the limiter turned off what's the general Max speed the motors will assist upto? Cheers!

How long have you had your bike? I've never been on a trail.

I was wondering if the weight of the bike makes it awkward to walk it, For example at pedestrian crossings or taking it into the office building etc?

Nice footage thanks. Is the battery still in good order? I just ordered 2 bikes with thin tyres and a couple of spare batteries 3 days ago and they arrived yesterday! A1 delivery. The missus and I are very impressed with the quality of build, the very good price $695 each and working great straight out the box.

How did you break your arm cycling? I had a hand incident once with an uncovered steel boom gate cable.

Hey mate. Have you had to change the break pads on your bike yet? Mine are getting worn down and I'm gonna need to replace them very soon. I'd take it to a bike shop and get it done there but I'd much rather just buy them and do it myself.

Great review Greg. What tyre pressure do you use for off-road? I have 3 bikes in Fiji and now working to install a throttle and larger battery capacity. A helmet and pads are a must, this bike flies after modifying the PA to level 9. Best wishes...

Nice video. How long does your batter last without pedaling?

Hello Greg, can I please enquire if you believe/ or know this bike is suitable for a 6ft (183 cms ) person. thank you

Hey mate great review! Quick questions what's the total range you've managed to get? Also how efficient is the pedal assist? Does it kick in quick to say make hill climbs from a,start rather easy? Cheers!

Hi Greg how long was the delivery time with kogan. I just ordered mine and can't wait to try it!

G'day Greg, did the bike come with the battery and charger? Also, do you still ride it?

Ninebolt phone holder is pretty good but bulky or get the XT ones off ebay.

Great bike... with the unlock, how fast can it go now?

Hi Greg, are those foldable joints stable? Looking at the non fat tyre version, worry it will be shaky during the ride.

hey greg, would you mind making a small video of the battery box slide track? my son brought one of these and it looks like a great bike except somethings stopping the battery fully plugging in at the bottom, it looks like theres a mushroom headed screw blocking the track, the battery wont sit onto the contacts because of it, itd be a great help to him. hes been looking forward to the bike for months. thanks :)

Sorry also how would you rate the weight loading? It says 100kg weight capacity but I weigh 110kg, would you say it's still safe?

Hi mate! Thinking about buying one of these but worried about the height of the frame and wheel size (I'm pretty tall for a woman at 178cm) - how does it hold up for you?

Hey mate, does the bike run alrite without the battery on pure manual pedalling?

What about replacement tyres and tubes?

Hey mate just wondering how you took of the limiter. I have the same bike and I am struggling to remove it

Hi . I have the same bike its great value . Can you let me know how you deristricted the motor ?

I am new to this, so you dont need to pedal this it works on its own?

4:30 where were you riding?

Hi is this bike consider legal in AUSTRALIA?

I bought one of the thin tyyer versions of this bike almost 3 years ago and have done about 7,500 km on it and it's replacements. These are the thing that went wrong with it: Had the front axel replaced Had the front breaks disk replaced Had the plastic front derailer disk replaced Had the front headstem headstem welded Had the charger replaced Had the peddles replaced Had the replacement charger fail Had the entire bike replaced Because of a total electrical failure had the entire bike replaced a second time (Third bike) Had the front headstem replaced Had the battery replaced Had the rear packrack break off Had the charger replaced a third time Had the battery fail a third time Now Kogan say they have no batteries in stock or a replacement bike. Here is my review after 5,500 KMs: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Pm6l-EmqUoI.html Other than the issues I have had with the bike the biggest problem is dealing with Kogan who nearly always deny their responsibilities under the consumer guarantee.

Greg, if you don’t mind me asking, what is your height and weight? I’m a big bugger at 190cm and worry I might be too big and look like a bear riding a tiny bike in a circus.

I bought it.. used for 5 months... then on 22 March 2022, copa pulled me up, saying its road illegal, it doesn't fit Australia ebike standard... Im in NSW...

Hi Greg how many levels is the power assist

Is the bike small for someone who is 6’4” ?

Is 350W legal on Australia roads? I thought the limit was 250W

You know what if you got to wear a helmet like that and gloves and all that stuff maybe you shouldn't be riding a bicycle at all I'm just telling the truth here
