CHINA Sent Me the WRONG ELECTRIC SPORTBIKE (and Don't Really Care) 

so, its an electric scooter dressed up as a sportbike 😂

just contact alibaba customer service and open a dispute, cuz this is literally a scam.

Alright dude, this is what you need to do. In Cuba people have been able to upgrade their e-bikes by doing one of two things: OPTION 1: getting a control box (like the one you were trying to connect) which performs for a HIGHER voltage motor. i.e: your e-bike have a 72V motor. What you need to do is to get a controller box developed for higher voltages motor. Or, OPTION 2: You get a lower voltage motor (and this is the most common way to upgrade your e-bike in Cuba) i.e. Your motor is 72V so your controller box. In that case what you need to do is to get a 60V motor and let your controller box (nothing bad is going to happen) By doing it people in Cuba have been able to reach speeds from 80 to 120 Km/h. Also those e-bikes have another problem: their practical range. How far could you get with that one? I bet you never far away than 70 Km. Well, in that case what you need to do is to get another battery and make a connection so you can ADD the current of both batteries. Those batteries commonly are of 72V/20Ah, 72V/30Ah, 72V/35Ah, 72V/45Ah. I bet yours is 72V/20 or 35Ah (with 35Ah your range goes up to almost 100 Km.) So what you need to do is to get a 45Ah battery to increase the range. Any other question don't hesitate to get in touch. Good luck with that e-bike!!

up, up, down, down, left, right, left , right, b, a ,b, a start

Looks like you have the best looking electric moped I've ever seen. Looks like you got scammed.

Just put the seller's information online so other people won't get scammed.

This bike isn't a waste of money actually since on the view count alone, he's already made his money back and then some. So basically now he's scamming us. Lol

Buys tech from China..... surprised it’s not as described. LMAO

The seller won't start helping you, until you start putting his name out there. You gotta put him on blast. I know your trying to be a nice guy about it, but apparently it's not working with the seller.

I ordered an Albanian girl on Alibaba. She didn’t look like Dua Lipa.

the motor isn't at it's max potential. if it were the motor would be louder and higher pitched, kinda like rEEEEEEE instead of rn, which is kinda like reeeeww

$1500 is actually pretty reasonable for what you're getting assuming everything works ok.

Dude, that hidden gem you have right there!!! This controller sure is capable! 1. Find the 4-pin plug with orange-blue-black wire 2. Look into your shipment if the guy send you any usb dongle, if not, ask him for a USB debug cable. 3. Get the software, I can send you the dropbox link if you like The speed limiter is done inside the configuration software. This motor and controller is fully capable of 150kph or more with 100A current.

LMAO, I thought everyone knew the risk when buying Chinese, it's part of the whole cheap copy culture.

Slap a Razor sticker on it if it don’t already have one hidden lmao

Add better batteries, double the voltage, watch it fly

After this you’ll have enough experience to be a certified full time electronic bike technician!

Not sure if you've tried this already or its been recommended. Since your programming controller is connecting via a serial connection over USB make sure you are plugged into a USB 2.0 port and not a 3.0 port. While USB 3.0 is technically backwards compatible ive had issues just like this which were fixed by using a different usb port.

I wanna see this thing actually get a 5000w motor and a decent controller. It should move pretty damn good with a true 5000w

72 volts at 40 horsepower which is what is printed at the beginning of the code on the Wheel is 2880 watts

Damn dude it’s almost like it’s FROM CHINA

Dude do a charge back every damn thing is in your favor plus banks dont make you ship the bike back because of the cost at least not my bank chase I'm screaming through the screen ChargeBack Not As described

hey i actually had one of theses sold it and got a faster one but the speed is in direct relation to the motor generally so if its stuck at 70 kmh thats a 2000w motor sorry the seller definitely scammed you

The seller had nothing to with the manufacturing of that bike bro. He’s just a middle man in it for a quick buck

Try getting an old computer with Windows XP

So now that you know the speedo max speed, compare that to a gps reading...speedo might not be accurate either.

Dispute this guy and give him a fat zero rating in Alibaba dude.

Turn the bike on while connecting it🤦🏼‍♂️ it’s like plugging up a iPhone charger into a Mac book and u have to part the charger into the phone and turn the phone on so u can transfer your stuff

You’re too nice, I already would of got my money back lol

Yea but it’s Maxing out with no load on it. Put a person on it and it may cut in half

Hey, I got in contact with the motor manufacturer, showed him a picture of the number on it from your video, and he says it is a 3000w motor.

Sounds like my washing on spin cycle .

A lot of these Chinese bikes have a limiter that turns off after a certain amount of miles like 50 - 300 miles.

Mistake were made when u ordered something from china

Being electric the limitation is most likely on the wiring and the components

Just open a dispute on aliexpres

Exact 60km at normal mode and 70 at sports, not more or less. Seems its limited by software.

Really appreciate you letting everyone know. I was close to purchasing 4 different bikes off alibaba. Not Now!

Thy started to carry some Chinese electric motorcycles here. Paying an extra $500 or so is worth the headaches and loss by dealing locally if buying local is an option.

IF you buy that from Alibaba, why don't you report them to Alibaba, they will take care of that, you will see and very fast

It's definitely the controller. Most stock EVs come with lower powered controllers. If you are upgrading go for a new Kelly controller and possibly a motor (qs motor 260 - 20kw for 160km/h). I bought one of these cheap bikes specifically to mod them up with the parts I mentioned.

I know this is months old and not sure if you got this working but something to try as an IT guy. Right-click the software>Properties>Compatibility>Check Run this program as an Administrator. The fire up the software and see if it connects.

Save yourself the 12 min (Its the wrong bike )

Wow I actually felt your pain in this video, if I was you ..I would sell it on Craigslist as a beginner bike ..be truthful about the speed.. and sell it for the price that you bought it for.

So I have a Chinese electric bike in the Philippines. If you want it to hit 60mph you need to increase the voltage. Yes you can disconnect the governor and that will help a bit, but you wont jump 40% in speed. Chances are you have lead acid battery, so you would need to add another battery, and due to the size it most likely wont fit. The only option you will have is to build a custom lithium battery and that will probably cost you more than the bike. Probably not the news you wanted to hear.

Lower spec than advertised is China's whole deal. The only real performance gain you can get is upping the voltage, as with any electric motor. But it's more money and pain for minimal gains with a small motor. I'd really suggest just selling it and moving on. It would probably sell quickly in the fruitcup state anyways, for damn near your investment.

Step1:Submit a Refund Request and at the same time try negotiating with the supplier If you are not satisfied with your order (e.g. the item that you ordered did not arrive or is not as described), you can make a Refund Request. At the same time, try to negotiate with the supplier to reach agreeable terms for a refund. Most trade disputes happen because of misunderstandings. Any refund made will complete the transaction. Step2:Still no agreement? Apply for Mediation If no agreement has been reached, you can apply for mediation from Alibaba 10 days after you’ve made an initial Refund Request. Step3:Alibaba will help mediate your dispute Alibaba will contact both you and the supplier and mediate based on the evidence provided. All decisions made by Alibaba are final.

Remember back in the good ol days when if you wanted something to go faster you physically did something to the parts and not programming it?

0:07 I’m on the toilet pushing fairly. I thought was the air coming out my arsehole

It is a 72volt 3000watt motor, its probably the controller that's causing it to be slow, for an easy fix solution you can just get your self another controller with a higher Amps discharge together with a compatable battery specs 72v obviously. Some controller you could try are *yuyangking controller* *sinewave controller* I hope this advise could help you a little bit.

this almost looks like my zone s , look for a single wire under the cowling near the battery box , left side .. there may be a wire labeled " please do not unplug " .. unplug it

This series is pretty unique in youtube, can't wait to know the adventure you have with that shitty chinese ebike lmao love u man!

I would like to know where you currently feel you're "stuck at" with the bike? Thanks brother.

Brother. One look at your controller tells me all I need to know. It should be twice as big. And 72 volts. Maybe 42 MPH. You need a minimum 120 volts. That's the battery and controller. You might be able to overvolt your current motor with upgraded controller and battery. Try it. Worst case you blow your motor and buy a new one. A crytalis will do the job. Forget software and limiters. That's all BS. I went thru it myself. 120 volt controller/ 120 amp. true 5 to 7 kw motor. 120-volt battery. You will go 60 pluss and do wheelies. It's going to cost you another grand min. Period.

Thanks for all the updates on this bike I've been obsessed researching these style of electric motorcycle and I'm glad I didn't just buy one yet. It's too bad you can't find a nice one in this price range in the u.s. at this point I think I might just buy a beater over the winter and convert it. I think you have done your viewers a service by keeping us informed and updated sorry about your luck on the purchase so far but you definitely helped some people if that's any consolation haha.

That's Chinese for you, when you're still with your money you are the boss but when you give them your money they are the boss.

Just contact the controller company. They should be able to walk you through it.

I remember when I bought my first crotch rocket on wish.

There definately is a limiter. It's usually a 4pin wire going to the controller. But regardless good attempt my dude! With respect, Your subscriber!

Hey give us the contact info. Maybe if enough of us contact him, and say we were interested until we saw what happened to you, he will make it right.

That motor is 2,880 watts of power max. Do you know even if the batteries are giving the full 72 volts at max power? Many things to test and check, but it just plainly appears to be grossly under powered on what was advertised.

Try changing the baud rate on the VOTOL-EM-V3 software program. The serial chip needs to convert to CAN and CAN most common baud rates are 125 kbit/s (default CANopen) and 250 kbit/s (J1939). Not sure what the exact baud rate is needed to make the converter work, but the error your getting sounds like a baud rate mismatch.

Why does it say it has gears in the dashboard says your in 1st gear...

Saw your problem...on the software try changing the com field to a different port to connect with the controller

The controller sends serial data using a RS485 protocol, NOT CANBUS. Use a RS485 to USB cable, download CH341SER driver, see which COM port got assigned to it by the computer (check in device manager), enter that COM port into the software and then it work.

Hey man, Love your video and sorry for all those hard times. I work for Yilun Motors, a Chinese Electric Motorcycle company. I gotta say, that bike was just a joke, their factory was literally a trash plant. File your complaint and try to get your money back. As a new company, we have just done developing our first prototype ebike X1 (0-60 in 5 sec, top speed 100mph with a 150 miles of range). We are trying to bring it out in 2020, also working hard to enter US market. If you’re interested, I’ll keep you posted

Looking at the build quality and thickness of the swingarm. I'm not sure that I'd want to try and travel at 70mph on that bike...

I got a 12kw ebike from Leili ebikes on Alibaba and the second I started having issues they stopped messaging me back. I was even using WhatsApp to talk to a guy 1 on 1 regularly. Then my controller started pooping out and he disappeared. They barely knew what they were doing when it came to getting my order correct. Even after correcting them via email OVER AND OVER they still mail me a bike with the wrong colored wheels and wrong seat.

As many are saying, open a dispute, either with Alibaba or with your bank depending on if you paid by credit card or otherwise if there's a trail. You can claim that the merchandise was misrepresented or not as described.

Thank you so much for letting everyone know about your experience, maybe it will help someone else avoid this mistake and NEVER spend more on something from Alibaba than you can throw away because 40% of the time you'll get screwed.

That's a nice pocket rocket you've got their.😂

You can’t even drive these on the highway in Canada some highways are 110

Imagine being the guy who helped you out and your shout out to him is. " You know who you're"🤣🤦🏻‍♂️

That error that you got, it must be something to do with the com port driver... try to find the device driver for that controller and install it in your laptop, disconnect then connect the wire (USB wire or what ever is connecting your motorcycle to your laptop), turn on your motorcycle, then wait if your laptop detects the motorcycle, then you can click the connect button on the software that you are using.. This might help a bit, or someone might get an idea out of this.

You need a 120 ohm resistor between can high and can low

Lol this thing is a scooter with sport bike looks big got scammed

Hi, I'm Alex, from Venezuela, but now I´m living in Chile, I´ve got an electric motorcycle, 2000W, and all it get is 70 kms/hr, thats because is a combination between the controler and the engine wheel (2000W), how I see it, I´m sorry for you but you got the wrong bike. This bikes are perfect to go to home-work, and other few little things, but that´s all. I´m glad with mine, because is so, so economic. I´m glad to help you with any questions. Regards and best luck.

Don’t know if you have already realised but that is 2880watts it is stamped on the hub in V and A. Probably ‘rated’ at 3kw

are you powering the controller while you're trying to connect?

If it looks too good it’s probably not good, what a letdown. I’ll stick to my vmax and magna.🏍👊

Really enjoyed this video hope you can get this figured out and look forward to an update... Best of luck🤘

Maybe the controller is of less wattage as promised. I had 5000W motor with 4000W controller and as soon as I changed it to 9000W controller and 120 volt batteries, top speed increased from 120kmph to more than 160kmph. You maybe check the wattage of the controller provided.

man that swingarm is so skinny I would not feel comfortable laying it in a corner.

I had the same issue. I took my Mars rover to a local place that deals with Apollo vehicles and they sorted it out.

I've bought Chinese motorcycle and scooters before, one thing I have learned purchase from an American dealer here in the states. The delivery is quicker and you get what you ordered.

the hub motor says the power rating right on it. 72v 40h means 72 volts and 40 amp hours. You multiply them to get your max wattage rating which is 2880w in this case.

YES! Kilometers per hour! Welcome to the rest of the world, USA.

This Bike Series Is Really Blowing Up My Guy Good Luck To You. 💪

Also there is a way to manually reprogram the LCD. The LCD controls the controller and if the wrong input is put there obviously you will b going slow. Ages ago in 2016 I ordered a nice design Zoom 1000 watt China ebike. It was doing 24MPH max and I even bet my life on it that it was going to keep up with traffic and took it to work the next day. There was a lot of time I think every drivers behind me was just complimenting the design of it and had pitty on me for being slow otherwise knowing the traffic, I could have been seriously hurt. When I took it home and messing with the controls it was set at 32km and I was surprisingly increasing and decreasing it from there and took it out for a test run each time I increased it on the settings. So see if you can manually set it up or at least manually sees what’s the highest travel velocity it’s set as. They all should be able to do that, just different buttons.

Actually, i saw on their website that $1500 is for the 50kmph model....the one that you are having right now.... This means that ur motor would be having power rating between 2000W to 2500W..... The one with 5000W costs you easily more than $2800..... I guess u haven't researched thoroughly about the pricing and specifications coz i saw these details on their website as well as on a youtube channel owned by one of the manufacturers....... @TheInja if you do read this, please checkout the manufacturer's youtube channel.... Its title is R3 electric motorcycle..... The manufacturer explained pricing to one of the comments......

Sad how you got scammed. It honestly is you should’ve gotten to 100 km an hour not 70.

Petrol/combustion engine.......WINS this round👍😃

You got what you paid for. Best you could get for $1500. In some way the seller wasn't totally dishonest. From the looks of it, the bike will do 5000W. Problem is it will only do it for a short period (like 30seconds) and provided some criteria is met (mostly good temps on the motor and controller, adequate charge, etc.). Think of it as overclocking. Afterwards, it will go back to 3000W. At 3000W you will only be able to do 65. At 5000W, you can manage 100kmph, but you wont be able to hold it since the controller will dial back the power soon.

It's basically a big RC car, the speed is most likely limited by the VESC or the battery voltage output. Not gonna lie, a battery that size would probably cost more than this machine is worth and a VESC that can handle large output isn't cheap either. The other consideration is the actual motor itself, assuming it's direct drive you would need to match the torque to the weight of the machine plus rider. Basically imo you are better off buying a 40 year old honda bike and making it run. *EDIT** If you can find out the size and wind count of the motor we can actually calculate the expected output per volt of this machine, also knowing if it is brushed or brushless would be helpful.

Hey dude . I have a escooter in the fast . The top speed is 55kph - 60kph . And it will go faster like 75-80kph. when i plugged into the charger . It means the bike need more power . Like add more batteries and high amp batteries to get more power . Check your battery how high its voltage and amp

i have contact with the manufacture of the hub motor, I've sent them a message to see if they have info on the motor ;) they have holidays in china until the 7th oct so we'll probably first get a reply after that

They are definitely worth it if you are shipped the correct bike, my brother just got an 8000w R3 model with a 72v40ah lithium battery from Wuxi Stanford in like 2 1/2 months, it's look turns heads, is whisper quiet and a blast to ride, got up to 40 at half throttle while it's only been ridden halfway down the street and back since it not registered, I personally ride an FZ07 so the lack of any torque on takeoff(feels like riding in 3rd gear) and noise feedback caught me off guard at first but at I'd buy one as a commuter as it is a quick nimble 200lb bike, and can easily overtake cars. The 8000w feels equivalent to a 150cc-250cc, Inja most likely got a 3000w that probably feels like a 50cc

Hello Inja, I've been following your blog as I too am a keen motorcyclist and for the first time was considering buying an electric bike for commuting to work (appx 30 miles). Thank you for your constant updates regarding your purchase. I will not be going electric anytime soon until its been properly tried and tested. And certainly not a motorcycle from ALIBABA (AliExpress)

Are you sure you are selecting the correct com port in the software?

Who expects consumer service when buying Chinese anything ?
