A video review of the Gotrax NEPHELE folding eBike. This is NOT an affiliate link -- I don't make a dime if you click on it: www.amazon.com/Gotrax-NEPHELE...
You’re the only review of this bike, I can’t find any information on this bike like where to get extra batteries, if you can add a second battery or anything like that
Thanks for providing details many don't! In particular your height! Curious how bent your legs are at 'full extension'. Disappointed there is no pedal assist, but it is what it is.
It got too cold for me to ride shortly after I got this bike, but I expect to take it out soon and see what else I can find. It felt okay at my height, but I need to run it with the motor off and see how it feels to actual pedal it for an extended time.
Sadly, Amazon kept rejecting this video. At first I thought it was because I gave the price I paid, which is against their rules apparently. To me, that's VERY important -- if I pay $900 for it, my opinion would be far worse than paying $450. So I just posted the full video on RU-vid.
In the description of the bike on Amazon, it says three modes-normal pedal, pedal assist, and all electric. But you say it has no pedal assist. Does this mean if I engage the motor the bike will automatically go 15 mph?
I have the EBE1. I really like it. It also has 16 wheels but I wish it goes further than 25km on throttle because it’s hard to pedal when the battery dies
What's the weight of this bike? 20 kg or more? Please let me know if you have time, how the battery holding up/ charging holding power so far? Thank you
Whats the app for the spedometer? Mine always stayed at 15 or 16mph with pedaling as hard as I can, even down slopes. Never reached near 20 let alone 25mph
I do not recall, but I will say that my test route is rather abusing with a few steep hills I take these things up to test them. The battery indicators always drop considerably up those hills then level out. Once I warms up, I plan to do a range check like I do with my scooters. I'll put together an update. Spring is almost here (still sub freezing this morning, but getting warmer all the time).
am I reading this correctly that this bike is 31.75kg? wow that is heavy for this bike. I have a 40lb (14" tire), 70lb (20" tire), tried the jetson haze 16" tire only 42lbs, how is this bike almost 70lbs?
I'm betting it's a steel frame or something, rather than some lighter material. My Aventon is also very heavy, but perhaps that's just going to be the case for cheaper bikes and scooters?
Winter came and the bike has been in storage since. We had one warm weekend, then it go back to freezing, but it is now warming up (finally?). I plan to take the bike to work with me (it doesn't have the range to get to work, I don't think) and do some more test rides during lunch and such, maybe as early as next week.
I have a Gotrax Apex scooter that, so far, has not given me any issues. I only got to ride the bike for about two weeks before a blizzard hit so it's stashed away until all the snow melts. I will update if I have any issues.
