Thank you for this informative video. I’m considering this ebike (in green!) for my first ebike. I don’t really care about going fast as much as wanting help getting up hills. It’s very hilly where I live. My subdivision and my street each have “Hills” in their name, lol. I’m also not as tiny as I used to be. I want to be able to ride as a class 2 ebike in order to legally ride on bike paths and that do not permit class 3 ebikes. Does this bike ship as class 2 (up to 20 mph) and you can unlock the top speed through the settings or is this bike actually labeled as class 3? Also, does it or the battery come with any indication of any UL certifications? Finally, do you recall if the bike has a separate derailleur hanger? Thanks!!
This would be a solid first e bike for someone that will stick to the pavement. It just went to an older woman for her first e bike last week. It ships as a class three and can be limited to 20 mph. It depends on how strict they are on the trails, class two bikes don't have a throttle, but you may be able to disable it. I would just see which PAS level stopped at 20 mph and just stay legal that way. I believe the battery and charger were UL certified but can't remember about the derailer. I wish I could go look at the bike to be more help but the bikes I don't ride get sold or given away to make room for more coming in.
