A Most Affordable Full Suspension Fat Tire Ebike: the Bee Cool Adventurer 

Your shipping box was the old box that allowed a lot of damage. The new upgraded shipping box has 2 hand holds on each side as well as the ones on the ends and the ebikes are also packed better so there has been no reports of damage like scratched paint that you mentioned. The new boxes have been mentioned on the BeeCool Owners group several times with pics and you guys are members. Also a new metal front light is supposedly brighter than the old one you tested.

I just turned over 1200 miles in 6 months on my beecool adventurer. And yes have had great adventures. Nice review and i would like to add comment. I commute to and from work daily 8 miles round trip. My average speed is 22-23 mph. Top end is 26. I do run lower pressure tires for comfort and traction. With my short trips i have yet to drop the battery level more than 2 bars. That small led headlight projects super bright i give it a both thumbs up! and it has a definative top cutoff line so it can be adjusted as to not blind traffic albeit wimpy taillight and blinkers. The frame itself is sturdy and super clean welds. The offset battery does not detract from comfort nor performace. The seat is comfortable and easily adjustable. The suspension has serious issues however front forks are not stable for side to side flex along with the rear suspension. Together the whole bike tends to wobble side to side dangerously under certain conditions to a concerning level. The rear shock is not adjustable and is set for what seems to be 1000lbs. I have yet managed to compress the rear suspension even 1mm as if rear suspension is non existent. Your rear rack appears to have been bent in shipment. Mine was straight. The wimpy frame of the rack severed just above both upper mounting bolts and also adds to bike wobble with any weight upon it. As for mis- aligned fenders easy fix is to bend the supporting rods along the side to a position that aligns the fender properly. My kickstand was severed at the pivot bolt, was unrepairable, and caused extreme difficulty in parking the bike. Beecool however expediently replaced it under warranty. They only asked for pictures of the broken part. Kudos beecool! Yes walk mode is basically run mode. Pedal assist has a consistant delay of 2 seconds of pedaling before engagement but ceases power quickly (under 1/2 sec) after ceasing pedaling. Shimano shifter is easy to control however tends to misalign and starts jumping gear position between 4th and 5th gear. Horn is behind the light but tends to dampen output level after soaking. 21amp hour battery is consistantly powerful. However had a code 6 error once and complete power loss condition. Pedalling strictly manually is a beast kind of like pedalling a truck. This bike is completely impractical as a pedal bike. Back to error code issue... after pedaling the beast the last mile home i completely exposed all the wiring to find connections that were insulated primitively with electrical tape. This was not the problem. So i opened the battery removed the connector and found an underpowered fuse of 30 amps had not blown but the legs of the fuse had overheated and melted the fuse housing to the point of failure. I replaced the fuse housing and with the proper 45 amp fuse had no further issue. Finely stitched and ergonomically formed handgrips give the bike good comfortable control. Brakes have power cutoff switch practical but when frozen in cold temperatures tends to continue cutting off power after applying the brakes. The hydraulic disc brakes are a plus for easy positive braking. The rear caliper bracket however is misaligned and positions pads with only 1/2 contact to the disc. The only remedy is to grind down the caliper mount to a level that lines the pads with the disc. This causes excessive wear using only 1/2 the pad. This bike has good low end torque for its rear hub 750 watt motor. The display has shown up to 960 watt output on numerous occasions. As for pedal assist i found it very useful for automatically cruising at different set speeds almost like cruise control. When i am not in a hurry but just want to cruise relaxed i noticed extreme power usage savings at between 200-300watts in 3rd gear still moving along at 15mph. With level 1 i can creep along trails at 5mph from 50 to 150w usage similar speed of "walk (run) mode". I am adding weatherproof ammo boxes as rear saddlebags one of which will hold my two 10amp aftermarket lion batteries switched through a 1,2,both switch. As for the wimpy blinkers i will draw from those circuits two sided led blinkers off the end of the handlebars for better vision. You can even install a beeper on the blinker circuit for audible confirmation. I pull a bike trailer for my 2 chihuahuas everywhere, i have a 20a 48v-12v buck converter to power a heated blanket inside the trailer for the dogs 🐕 🐕. I have considered placing a heated wrap around the battery for long trips in subzero weather. Blinkers, brake, and running lights will also be installed on the bike trailer thru a waterproof multi connector. I have 2 150watt bluetooth self powered speakers with subwoofers mounted on right and left of the rack which operate on right and left channel respectively to which music can be heard clearly at 1/2 mile with a phone mount on the handle bars. The display has a hidden usb power point to charge your phone while power is on. I bought a second 21a battery from beecool for $600 and a 30a charger for faster charging. I.e. complete charge in around 2 hours instead of 6 hours with the supplied 20a charger. Note: tips to aid in extending battery life, allow the battery to 'rest' for an hour before charging and leave the battery partially discharged when not in use. My 2nd battery fits perfectly for storage in the bike trailer when needed. For my offgrid home power system i just got 8-300w solar panels (2400w) thru a 60a solar controller for quick efficient charging of the bike from the sun 🌞. Overall this bike has changed my life, has brought me great pleasure, saves me all the expense of owning/operating and fuelling a vehicle, and connected me with nature in a more intimate level. I have ceased driving completely and am using this bike all year in all but deep snow weather conditions. I keep the bike in a heated environment in winter to avoid freezing cables, electronic components and most importantly lion batterys. I am confident on ice and run full speed. I am looking into studded winter tires and tube protectors for safety and durability. Overall for the price and manageable issues this bike is worth the value but would not buy this model again because of the incurable suspension wobble condition. I would recommend a bike with no rear suspension, a seat with suspension, and a full length front fork that affixes above and below fork tube. Hope this detail helps - enjoy 😉

*Very well made **Latest.Bike** , looks sporty and performance is awesome I love this machine! It also rides like a Cadillac So you'll love it to!*

Received my black Adventurer Dec 12 2021 and am very happy with it. I am 6' 230 lbs and ride on paths in the woods. The seat tube has ample adjustment for people of all heights. With the front suspension set to stiff, I find the suspension to be balanced with no "bottoming" but I am not jumping it. The bike will not resume acceleration if a brake lever is still slightly engaged as motor power is cut when the brake light is illuminated. For optimum battery condition, follow the instructions for the initial 3 charges. I added a handlebar riser and a short, angled stem along with 1/2" pedal extensions. The headlight is bright and provides plenty of distance and width. After-sale communication and support has been outstanding!

The walk mode isn't for flat ground. The walk mode is for very steep hills, where the bike wants to roll backwards and is very heavy to push. In this situation, the walk mode is nice to have, the bike will power itself up the very steep hill instead of having to push it by muscle. and when I say steep hill I mean very steep.

I know many people esp. the Americans and Europeans dislike China for exporting their products abroad and thereby competing with the more expensive domestically made items but I for one am grateful to them for allowing consumers such as me who are not rich or even middle class to be able to own items which I'd otherwise not be able to afford.

My Vtuvia FMB has similar specs except the motor, which is a mid drive torque sensor Bafang Ultra G510 1000W. Around $1600, but shipping and additional battery brought it to $2100. Excellent value.

I needed a more powerful e-mtb so i got an E-CELLS Super Monarch Crown. 2 wheel drive, 2 batteries, dual suspension, hydraulic brakes with 2.3 mm thick discs, 4 1/2" tires, Shimano Deore 10 speed gears, torque sensing assist. BUT the price is $4,780. which includes a $1,000. intro discount. Very reasonable for the features.

The assist after you quit peddling is to avoid pedal strikes on ground obstacles while off-roading. This allows you to make it over the obstacle even if you have to backpedal a bit to avoid hitting it.

Great review! I'm confident I made a great purchase as I only need it for a 10 mile each way city commute.

Great review, very helpful in what to expect when I get my bike. My only critique is the comment that this bike was intended as functional mountain bike. I don't know how they assesed that when it has never been titled or described as a mountain bike. That is a consumer error on the reviewers part. So, to be fair to consumers, that "negative" is not true.

thank you for your video. Most product reviewers only talk about the goods and not the negatives. thanks for being honest reviewers!

A steal with that size battery

Ordered mine (Also a Green Adventurer) on November 4th. For $1,499.00 OTD (no sales tax or shipping costs). I researched a lot and for the cost, the capacity is unrivaled, the power is fine, the controller looks easy to replace with a higher amperage (maybe 30A vs the stock 22A cutoff), it has lights so I can easily upgrade them with existing wiring, hydraulic brakes, rear derailleur only (don't want a front), full suspension (can replace later), fat tires and a good look! Has the major components and everything else can be upgraded as I see fit and budget allows! Ready for it to get here.

Good job guys

During the day is is best to use arm signals to turn right left and to stop. In low light it is better to use turn lights and these lights will likely be more then sufficient to let others know your intent

as for your front shocks you just need to adjust your SAG

You both rock, glad to find a new channel I enjoy!

You " cracked me up " when you told how the instruction book had good grammer.

Just bought this yesterday and after your video, I am super-psyched! I can't wait for this to be delivered. You video was very informative, and I think this will be perfect for me at 150lbs 5'7 who just wants to ride around the streets and some paths in the woods. Nothing crazy on the downhill for me. But all the things that you did not lilke about the bike, don't seem to bother me (I mean, that massive scratch would bother me), but everything else shouldn't. I wonder if you put some sort of foam or something else would the LCD stay tighter? Thanks again! CAN'T WAIT!

The display easy fix put some rubber in the mount, the fender loosen it and move it. The forks well, can always upgrade on your own like the headlight

Thanks for posting fairly interested in a bike myself everyone's making commas on RU-vid most of us interest want to know number one how much does it cost how fast will it go how far will it go everything else pretty irrelevant

On sale right now for 1499 hard to beat

The display on the hand bars anything wrapped on there will take up space and that will stop it from slipping... Example masking tape 2 layers put it back and move it anymore

you guys are missing the angle , the walk slash run mode can be a low speed cruise control ha ha

180mm travel lol you made my day with this :D look at 2:12 shock barely compresses there is maybe 40mm and that's a stretch

I just ordered one. I hope it works good for me. For the price, it seems like it will just fine.

Great review oveall. The turn signals might be most applicabl/effective at night so I understand the wimpy daytime performance. It would be great if you covered where the bikes are made and little about warranty an where they are headquartered

I'm guessing the kill switch would settle the pedal assist delay... I'm leaning more towards the Bee Cool Challenger

Where you get the helmets from?

Great review, thank you! I grew up right up the street from there.

I AM SHOCKED to see that you guys reviewed so many ebikes and does not know what is the walk mode for and when to use it.. I post video as I see many reviewers do not know why and when to use it for . Walk Mode design to assist walking up hill or any situation when you CAN NOT pull the bike up or in some terrains .

Great review. However, your comment about the light imo It does shine quite a bright beam of light at night.

It looks like your rear rack is bent downward toward the rear tire at the end

Amazing review - you guys make a fantastic team. I loved this, and you were right 10:56 - I was looking at the Aventon Aventure, LOL. But will consider this bike.

I think somebody has said it already but JOG mode as you called it isn’t for the flat it’s for going up hills

Great video content guys, hi from the UK

My bike does that 5mph walk mode… only when I’m power walking with nothing in my hands and that’s a hard pace. Way too fast

Great review. That color is really nice.

wow sweet ebike... I currently have a Rad Rover but have been thinking of starting a ebike fishing and trail exploring channel and this bike would be awesome for some of my adventures... thanks for sharing

You're wondering if this is supposed to be a mountain bike? First clue - light and turn signals aren't used out on the trail. And then there's that suspension (or lack of suspension). Looks like a great commuter bike for the price.

No way does that have 180mm rear travel. Maybe without the shock.

All these Chinese ebikes are the same, just different brands. I have an Addmotor and there are at least a dozen identical bikes under different brands. Mine is okay but not very sophisticated. I wish I had bought one with a rear suspension. It's a rough ride which I attribute to its weight. 75lbs. My bike arrived damaged but Addmotor sent new parts. That bike you have is a good buy.

very nice, thank you for your time and info. have a bless day

It's gets an A for great price and a lot of features.

Thanks for the detail review. One of the greatest reviews I have ever seen.

The price is very impressive, especially with a 21AHr battery. I have two Cyrusher bikes. XF800 and XF900. They are built really well, and I ride them intensively in NYC. At $1600 it sounds too good to be true.

Thanks guys for a great review. I have been doing a lot of research and the Bee Cool adventure seems to have all the best features for a great price, almost too good to be true. I just put my order in and it was $200 off. I am 6'3" 250lbs and this is the first ebike I have found that has a 350lb weight limit. Seems like the frame is very heavy duty and also good for riders up to 6'4". I was also looking at the RAD ebikes but they are limited to 275lbs and did not have both front and rear suspension.

Man when you walk the dog is supposed to be on the bike not walking, and the indicators sure look good at night,camon man 1.500$

Well thought out evaluation.

They designed their walk mode incorrectly. Work mode needs to have a current limiter on it. If you have a current limiter say set to 2 amps then as you try to walk uphill or put some resistance it will slow down. Walk mode on here wanted to maintain a certain speed and it was pushing the rider faster than he could walk.

Tap the brakes for a split second to stop the motor

The asymmetry of the battery is from designing a bike for 48/17, but the boss stole the frame design and insisted on 48/21, requiring two more columns of 18650s. Hashtag Oriental engineering.

Can you guys test out the 750w Accolmile mid drive?

Nice review. Just looking at the rear suspension made it obvious this isn’t a serious mountain bike 🚵‍♂️. It can still have other uses. Might be a kewl form of transportation. 👍☮️🌞🚴❤️

james and andrew, you need to chech out the nireeko prime. 38 mph, and full carbon frame. about 2700.00 dependin on what goodies you get.

Great presentation. Did you return the bike back?

Thanks for the video. Great review. Would love to have one of those.

Great review. I just started looking at the Bee Cool ebikes. One of the few bikes that is rated for my weight. most bikes are limited to 275lbs, this one is rated at 350lbs.

Maybe they offset the battery to counterbalance the gear set on the right side? Or possibly more likely for ease of removal and installation

C'mon guys, walk mode is for walking the bike up steps.

Where are you guys? That looks beautiful.

With afforable bikes, they should just come with a rigid front fork, no crappy lights, and just focus on the basics. Frame, motor, battery, brakes and the gears as priority number one. Quality basics and skip the low quality stuff you get with value stuff, they're stuff you can add later on yourself like a better fork and lights.

Great review like always! Between this one and the aventon aventure which one is best? Better components on the aventon? How about which front suspension is better?

Like your review, now where can I get one in Hawaii on Oahu?

You forgot to talk about how the back shocks barely give at all... To me from what I can see it looks like a hard tail bite in the rear

Great informative video. Thx. I like this bike overall, but will have to back out because of the electronic issues u mention. Also, for this size motor, it should be hitting higher speeds. Also looks like the front fork shocks are just springs that r on the weak side. I'm 6'3", 200#. The handle bar stem is too short. I don't want to be hunched over the bars all the time. I'm 75. My hunching days are gone.

I like the battery capacity!

Anything better that you reviewed

Please do the dualtron compact

How many miles will the bike go on a FULL. Battery Charge ? I need a Budget EBIKE. that will go 34 Miles w/ some use of Pedal Assist. So It would need to prob. go 26 miles on Electric Only w/ no pedal Assist. Can you PROGRAM / Tweak it to go faster like 28 mph.

Thanks for the review. Non related, what helmets are you using? They look very protective.

The brakes have nothing but issues and my bike shop recommended replacing but the manufacturer makes it impossible to upgrade because of the sensors.

The walk mode is about the same as other brands

I’m looking for a bike to shuttle me on single-track, gravel and highway to and from where I take-out my drift boat when fishing. I’ll leave it NY chained to a tree or something but eventually thieves will get it so I don’t want to spend a bunch of money. Also, the more one spends the more thieves attracted. This looks like an inexpensive but still functional option that I could ride in waders and attach gear to? Thoughts?

Thanks!

This bike or Avenenture E bike? After watching the whole video definitely Aventure for me.

Was your top speed on the highest level? Can unlock higher power like most can?

I guess I'll just guess at what the brake light looks like.

Looks like it's great value, especially with a 21A battery and full suspension.

Fenders always rattle they are unnecessary. Rear rack can block mud you can zip tie cardboard on down tube or whatever☮️🌵

is there a kill switch or something like that with the battery still on. For theft or.. saftey ect??

Good Job thanks

Where do you guys live? I really like the area and would maybe like to visit that area.

Do you think with new good front fork and new rear shock new breaks I can go downhill? Putting it other way , is the frame capable?

Im.obssesed over ebikes and indecisive person cuz I'm tight 😒 but man this 1 is up there in my choice of ebikes 2 get.

Greta review guys. The electric motor not picking up again is a major flaw. If it doesn’t pick up immediately, or at least within a half pedal stroke it is essentially Not an e-bike at that point. Imagine pedaling a 70lb. bike for no particular reason. That amperage on the bike is the best selling feature on the bike as the suspension showed it to was not flawless, so this will definitely not be my choice as a next bike.

HOW ABOUT BELT DRIVEN MID-DRIVE

Thanks for the video. I watch a lot of your vids and I would like to know what those cool full-face helmets are. Make, model?

just found BE COOL as it came up on my Facebook ads. ive been looking for a good entry level bike for a fat guy to just get me down some access trails for hunting. how would you feel about a trailer behind this bike? think it would pull the same hill if one of you were riding in the back?

Kinda personal question, but how tall are you guys? I'm only 5'7 and was wondering if this bike would be too tall for me?

Gibt es die Bikes auch in Deutschland zu kaufen?

You should have walk mode on a hill

Still waiting for my Adventurer. FedEx sent me text saying it was to be delivered 3/30/22 between 10:30 am & 4:15 pm and to be there to sign for it. I stayed home from work to do so but it never came. Tracking says its still in origin facility (Chino, CA - I'm in NH) and there is no scheduled date of delivery. Bee Cool was a bad choice. Too many issues with shipping/packaging horror stories of damaged bikes and missing chargers, pedals, nuts & bolts. Neither FedEx or Bee Cool knows where my bike is. If the box is heavily damaged if it actually gets delivered I will take photo and refuse delivery. They charge a $150 restocking fee but I'll take pictures and post in that scenario. I don't recommend buying from Bee Cool at this point.

I never had an Ebike. I have MTBs and Road bikes. Are ebikes comes in different frame sizes?

That seat just doesn’t look right on it, it needs a cooler mountain bike seat… What’s the standard of the frame, what’s the build quality? If you shifted out the parts for better parts as they failed would it be a long term ride

looks like colorado

Does the LCD screen actually show you the % of battery left or is it just bars?

What’s your favorite full/dual suspension hybrid/mountain bike that you have?

Nice large capacity battery
