I Got An E-Bike !! - GOTRAX EBE1 Foldable Electric Bike Unboxing 

Yeah totally !!! look forward to your vid

thanks :)

Hmmm that's weird, it shouldn't be hard. There should be a locking mechanism. I would check with the instructions. , maybe they updated something??

@Patts Bikes I pried it open with a metal. It got easier but its still hard. I guess I just have to lock and unlock it until it gets loose

@@josevich yea I think so ~

yes !, i am 175cm tall

Its a really good commuter. The suspension makes it a really smooth ride, and the Electric motor is pretty fast.

I actually just sold mine after owning it for a month. I'll tell you why: I own an m365 Pro Xiaomi Scooter that cost about the same and it wins on portability, range and speed (with a firmware mod it goes about 34km/h vs 25km/h). This bike is more versatile on city streets because of the larger wheel base and handles rough roads better, but that's about where the benefits ended for me. It's quite heavy at over 50 pounds and living on the third floor of a building with no elevator made it much more annoying than the scooter which is about 30 pounds and smaller. Collapsing it was too much of a time suck so I didn't bother when bringing it into the condo, definitely not a process I'd want to do daily. This bike may work for some people, but I like my scooter much better.

@@kerrybday Thanks for the insight. Ill take a look into the xiaomi scooter. I was actually considering a scooter a while back as well :)

@@pattnwia No worries, like I said I think it all depends on how you're using it. If you don't plan to bring it up stairs or fold it up a lot it could be a decent option. A few other things I didn't mention though... the pedal assist mode is pretty useless I found. The only mode that really works is full electric, and you can pedal during that too, but I found the gearing was too low (high?) to get any traction without really pedaling fast. Riding it without any electric option is not fun at all. Last gripe, I'm about 6 feet tall and I found that the bike is just a tad too small for that height. If you do go with a scooter, give some thought to the condition of the roads and paths you'll be using it on. I use mine in a city that has tonnes of crappy roads, but if you're paying attention it's certainly manageable.

@@kerrybday awesome, thanks for the help :)

Sorry no idea :S

Thank you, Yes i would say so. But it largely depends on the weight of the rider too, ~

about 30-40km on 1 charge

Hmmm good question. I think the best bet would be on their website. gotrax.com/products/shift-s1-battery-pack Try this

Battery is still good, and the gears are also good. I think bike gears last for at least 3-5 years, depending on how much you ride.

@@pattnwia thanks much for the quick response 😊

@@pattnwia i checked their website and still no info about battery replacement that makes me think twice if ill get this or not. 😟 i sent them an email too but no response

@@ItsMeJeki Yea i think they discontinued this model. So it will be hard to find parts for this bike specifically. What about their newer models? any luck with those??

@@pattnwia ​ i feel like they are prioritizing scooters coz they have really good scooters available. :( can you recommend another option that's 16 inch, foldable, $1k?

Great city cruiser, I like to ride casually around the neighborhood. The battery life is still good

@@pattnwia Thanks for the great review. I might buy it but I think the main problem is that the company do not sell spare batteries.

@@user-kp2dj2zx6v yep, I have not been able to find spare batteries for it too. So far the battery is holding up, but it will eventually die :/

dang, thats unfortunate to hear, my current one is ok so far, will keep an eye out for these problems :S

HAHAH

I am not sure , sorry
