Doing a review on a pre-production model seems like a waste for you (EBR), Hey Bike ("trust us"?) and us, the viewers. None of us know much about this except what's on paper until you get a finished product.

Okay I get it's a pre-production. It's very heavy, breaking is awful, and it has a carbon fiber frame? What? Yes it looks good, but it's a joke of a bicycle..

Why are you pedaling at 31mph??? Lol Let me lnow when u can pecal that pig to 14..

Not a very useful review. All the caveats about being a pre-production model that the company assures will be fixed raise too many flags on which to base a purchase. I would be interested to see a review of an actual model that ships to the public, particularly with the mid-drive option. I was excited to see the previews earlier this year and almost put $500 down in the kickstarter campaign to reserve a better price. At this point I’m glad I did not.

What speed app. you use

They should have not done the carbon fiber frame, it's too heavy with or without it. Could have saved probably $1k in MSRP and only added 3-4lbs in weight. 77lb or 81lb is not a huge difference but if this came in $1k cheaper it's definitely a compelling bike🤷

Nothing about them colors says HERO.

Ebike vergin here. Interested in this Ebike but am wondering; At 6'3 would the Sinch.2 suit me?

I'm confused as to why Heybike didn't wait to just give you guys a final product to test instead of this preproduction version.

Regarding the brakes, at 4:51 you can see that the brake pads are not coming into complete contact with the rotors. Grinding down the post mount adaptor about 8 mm should resolve this and greatly improve braking performance. As this is a prototype bike, perhaps they have resolved this on their production model. Thanks for the vid.

I'm inspired by the fearlessness with which women express their thoughts and opinions in this space.💖

Cool! How near future for the Nireeka 750?

I can't wait until America can get the pinion MGU... But sadly you(everyone) needs a completely different bike frame to use the stupid MGU....no swap in with the current gear boxes.... No climbing hills in test....and screw cadence sensors for assistance...but the majority of you will only use throttle anyways so what's the point of pedals or pinion...

I learnt something amazing about the manufacture of bike stems. It's really interesting, but they are actually made from stem cells, woah, that's Wild!

Did he mention how much he weighs? I'm pretty sure that factors in. He looks like 200+

Have you tested the Nireeka Mega 750? Curious where you land on this one.

Should have compared the long-range versions to make it more equal. Doesn't make sense to compare one $1199 bike to two $999 bikes, especially when both of those have long range versions at the same price of $1199. It would have been an equal playing ground. If you were to just compare the $1200 trims of each bike the XP uses a 14ah, Portola a 13.4ah, and the Fold1 uses a 13ah so the ranges would greatly change but the price would actually be equal. My math using your numbers but with the new ah, it would be 38 miles for the XP 3.0, Portola 29 miles, and Fold1 would stay at 22. (Using the highest pedal assist level of course lol) That would move the Fold1 from the best range to actually the worst range but again would actually be an equal comparison and not be skewed for any one company....

The range test needs to be changed. You can’t compare PAS 1 in one bike to PAS 1 in another that is 30 percent faster at PAS 1. The Fold essentially cheated by having a super weak PAS 1.

I think the Lectric is starting to look dated, but I’d buy it over the others because their customer service answers the phone and tries to help. If this channel wants to be taken seriously as more than just a paid influencer, it needs to figure out a way to talk about post sale service.

Glad I went with the Portola I know I made the right choice, why would spend $200 more on the Fold 1 when it can barely make it up a hill? UL certification and dealer support don't matter to me my shop will take care of all repairs so no worries. Portola for the win!

If you factor in customer support, Lectric wins hands down. You always figure nothing will go wrong but if it does, you’ll wish you bought the lectric based on my experience with other brands and lectric

I purchased the Trek Marlin +6 mostly because I wanted something that was a bit more natural feeling. The ramblas is a great choice, but the Trek won out for a lot of reasons.

please do software update to increase top speed.

love this bike, does it sell in uk?

Wonder what kind of import fees they will be passing on to customers? Hopefully not the 25% of the average Chinese bike..

Great review quick question how do you work the lights mainly the headlight I still haven't figured it out lol

You left out 2 of the most important points for most customers: 1 - warranty; Lectric 1 year, ride1up 1 year. And clear winner Velotric 2 year 2 - servicing; Lectric no dealers. Ride1 up no dealers, again clear winner Velotric 1000 dealers nation wide (that will service them)

Ok im 5 foot 10 400 pounds what is the best bike for me? I want it to go very fast and i want a large comfortable saddle seat. Easy ride Very fun Very fast

Excellent video! My only feedback is I wish you also did speed tests in Class 3 mode as well as Class 2.

3:01 I am a member of a fairly large Lectric group on FB, where some have stated that Lectric have switched from preloading their tires with Slime to Flat-Out. Can anyone confirm this, and or if so, give details as to when the switch occurred?

Where is the Hell Hole Trail located?

Should have talked about controllers rather than motors. Motor rating is marketing BS and subjective to whatever they want to say. You can see it in the video. The 500w should have been smoked by the 750w motors but it wasn't and even beat one of them. Ride1Up and Lectric use 20a controllers making their motors peak at 960 with 48v with a 60% rating continuous rating of 576w. The Velotric uses an 18a controller to get 864w peak with the same 48v system giving it a continuous rating of 518w. Although they all have higher peaks due to initial charge levels of roughly 54v. that is not how motor ratings are to be. If you have a true 750w using a controller that is 25a+ you will see a performance difference, these are not real 750w's.

Hey guys, having any luck getting one of these to review?

Curious you guys didn't talk about the most important thing which is UL certification?? Ride1up is not doing UL2849 and not even legal to be purchased in NYC. Seems crazy to recommend a product that isn't UL2849 in 2024.

Luckeep x1 lite?

Lectric is the only one that will fit in the plastic tote. Its the only one that matters

How easily do they fold and stay folded when loading into a car for comparison? Very important criteria for a folding bike 😊

Nice comparison report. I was weighing my options between the Portola and the Fold 1. The "we will notify you" for that stunning electric blue Velotric was too long to stay in consideration. I got the Portola, and I'm a very happy 5'3" woman. I have a Lectric Trike for hauling things (surprisingly utilitarian), but the Portola for scooting around town.

Thoughts on the Aipas A2?

Can you do a comparison of bikes similar to lectric express 750w at the price point of $1299?

This is the exact video I wanted to see get made!!!

Creating a composite score combining the price, range, speed, features/accessories, and hill test will show you the Fold provides the best value. It actually ranks 2nd out of 39 bikes I calculated the data for. The XP 3.0 ranked 12th and the Portola ranked 21st.

I really wish they had an upgraded version with Belt drive and IGH. Don't care how much more it would cost!

The dog at 37:08 scared me to death

Looks like any standard XC mountain bike. A lot of the components are either the same or better than what's on my 29er Devinci Riff Altus 8s. Yes it has the same derailleur and cassette. Brakes are better, tires can be upgraded (I replaced the Kendas on my Riff with Minions). Seems like a capable bike for what I'd use it for. Been looking for a mid drive but this may just change my mind

What's the creaking on the dirt hill climb? That was annoying for $11k.

I’m thinking about this bike but I would get the lower spec with 10mm more travel

Ramblas. Is what I chose. Been a great bike. My only flaw is the noise. It's a tad annoying but I can deal with it. It's powerful and battery is great. Gonna upgrade forks and tires prolly next summer.

Slower, less power, less range, and $800 more. My goodness, this isn't even a debate

Are you ever going to review the go cycle bike?
