1
00:00:00,060 --> 00:00:06,899
electric no e so if I catch any of you

2
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:11,580
calling this an electric bike this video is over and I'm going home this is the

3
00:00:09,660 --> 00:00:17,060
electric it's going to take some getting used to XP light a bike that the company

4
00:00:14,759 --> 00:00:23,939
electric says is the best pound-for-pound e-bike on the market

5
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:25,800
I'll be the judge of that electric at

6
00:00:23,939 --> 00:00:29,820
the same time we want to thank them for sending this to us to check out because

7
00:00:27,599 --> 00:00:35,040
we've been using it for a while to go back and forth between

8
00:00:32,160 --> 00:00:39,840
our HQ and the new Labs but I haven't used it and I'm the real judge I have

9
00:00:38,100 --> 00:00:43,860
reviewed an electric bike before just so you know back at NCIX it did the rav

10
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:47,579
power I forget what it was called rad wagon I think it was like a big old bike

11
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:53,280
and this is the opposite it's a little bike it can fold up into a very tiny

12
00:00:51,840 --> 00:01:00,000
package they say it can fit under your desk I think it's a 26 inches at its on

13
00:00:57,059 --> 00:01:04,440
the longest Dimension is that right 36 inches 36 inches in the longest

14
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:06,900
Dimension and we'll uh actually I want to do that right now can I fold it up

15
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:13,080
right now oh okay

16
00:01:09,900 --> 00:01:15,240
all right you flip that thing over and

17
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:19,020
then should I take this key out I feel like I should this is the key for the

18
00:01:17,220 --> 00:01:22,680
battery you can't operate it without this key without without this it's just

19
00:01:21,119 --> 00:01:27,200
a regular bike and then we wouldn't be making this video it wouldn't be electric at all like a naughty boy

20
00:01:26,460 --> 00:01:35,460
yeah okay ah and there's the battery inside okay

21
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:39,600
okay so there's like a there's a little spot for it to rest on there so that's

22
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:44,280
nice look at that okay and then this goes you can push

23
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:48,659
this in a bit more I almost pinch my fingers there always watch out for your

24
00:01:46,140 --> 00:01:52,740
fingies that's safety tip number one I was I used to be a lifeguard you know do

25
00:01:50,460 --> 00:01:58,979
you know that in here is the battery it is a 40 it's capable

26
00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:03,540
of delivering 48 volts which is why they say that it's the best pound for pound

27
00:02:00,899 --> 00:02:07,619
on the market that's their claim I don't really know much so

28
00:02:05,399 --> 00:02:13,500
take that with a grain of salt it's 7.8 Amp hours which they say can equip this

29
00:02:10,259 --> 00:02:16,860
bike with up to a 40 mile range if

30
00:02:13,500 --> 00:02:19,020
you're using the weakest pedal assist

31
00:02:16,860 --> 00:02:23,340
because you can go full on just electric or you can use up to five uh pedal

32
00:02:21,959 --> 00:02:27,540
assist levels so you don't feel like you're being all

33
00:02:26,220 --> 00:02:31,680
the way lazy and then I turn it

34
00:02:29,340 --> 00:02:35,280
and it won't go any further oh there it is

35
00:02:33,420 --> 00:02:39,060
oh so the process of taking the battery out

36
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:44,040
is actually yeah it's a bit more complicated than I thought uh you have

37
00:02:40,920 --> 00:02:45,599
to uh turn the keys so that this little

38
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:48,660
bolt goes in and then you can take the battery out but you're not going to be

39
00:02:47,580 --> 00:02:53,280
taking the battery out that often because there is a little charging port on the other side here so unless you

40
00:02:52,019 --> 00:02:57,360
have an extra battery that you're swapping in instead of charging and

41
00:02:55,860 --> 00:03:01,980
you're literally riding this thing all day uh you're probably not gonna have to

42
00:02:59,700 --> 00:03:06,300
deal with this that often but it did take me a second to figure out

43
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:12,000
only my second e-bike review make sure that's in the video

44
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:14,159
but regardless regardless that's what

45
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:19,920
the battery looks like four to six hours charging time to get from zero to 100

46
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:22,440
just like Nicholas Cage

47
00:03:19,920 --> 00:03:25,800
okay so having put that key in a few different times now I gotta say that's

48
00:03:24,180 --> 00:03:29,280
kind of annoying that it's on the bottom that's like a bit of a process to like

49
00:03:27,900 --> 00:03:33,599
get down there especially with this cord in the way I would really like if that

50
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:36,659
was on the top or somewhere else but I understand why they didn't do that

51
00:03:34,620 --> 00:03:40,620
because it looks so much smoother this way very smooth and sleek and that's

52
00:03:39,060 --> 00:03:46,260
what I'm primarily concerned about when I'm looking for a vehicle to transport

53
00:03:43,140 --> 00:03:49,459
me from A to B apparently 46 Pounds

54
00:03:46,260 --> 00:03:49,459
which I mean

55
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:55,080
that that feels about 46 to me seven

56
00:03:53,099 --> 00:03:59,519
pounds of that is the battery so I guess if you wanted to convert it into a

57
00:03:57,299 --> 00:04:02,879
normal not e-bike you could you could take the battery out and I

58
00:04:01,620 --> 00:04:09,120
don't know why you would do that Jake Jake that's pretty easy to unfold it again I

59
00:04:06,180 --> 00:04:13,319
gotta say just snap and it's a very satisfying snap I like when things are

60
00:04:11,340 --> 00:04:18,959
satisfying so apparently this thing you know as I said packs a bit of a punch

61
00:04:15,180 --> 00:04:22,440
it's got 48 volts 300 watts uh of power

62
00:04:18,959 --> 00:04:24,120
and it can get up to 720 at Peak power I

63
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:28,680
don't exactly 100 you know understand what that means but I'll find out what

64
00:04:26,280 --> 00:04:33,540
it means when I take it for a ride which I will do now after

65
00:04:31,199 --> 00:04:37,560
I tell you about our sponsor thanks to vessi Footwear for sponsoring this video

66
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:42,000

69
00:04:47,580 --> 00:04:53,340
better breathability to keep up with your active lifestyle take them off and

70
00:04:51,419 --> 00:04:57,360
put them on with ease thanks to the handy pull tab it's also made creature

00:04:55,500 --> 00:05:02,220
free so every step you take will be guilt-free or every psych every spin of

72
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:08,040
the pedals trust me your feet will thank you for

73
00:05:04,740 --> 00:05:11,639
wearing these so save 25 bucks with our

74
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:13,440
code ShortCircuit at vesi.com Short

75
00:05:11,639 --> 00:05:17,220
Circuit so hold the power button there on the

76
00:05:15,300 --> 00:05:20,520
left thing you got a power button and then you got the plus and the minus

77
00:05:18,479 --> 00:05:25,919
button over here as well to uh change your level of pedal assist that 40 mile

78
00:05:23,100 --> 00:05:29,340
range you can hit with level one but that range goes down as you go up to

79
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:32,699
five at five you're basically just riding a motorbike and you should

80
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:39,780
probably feel bad about yourself a little bit if you do that I'm going to put it up to I'm just gonna start at one

81
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:44,940
and then I'm going to uh see how she goes we also got a speedometer here and

82
00:05:42,479 --> 00:05:49,080
a energy bar I like how it says energy and not battery it makes me feel makes

83
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:54,979
me feel powerful okay let's do it

84
00:05:52,259 --> 00:05:54,979
Let's Ride

85
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:04,820
whoa whoa

86
00:06:05,820 --> 00:06:10,500
it's been a while I'm just gonna do a loop first I'm going to do a loop and

87
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:15,300
come back and then I'm going to go to the Labs I

88
00:06:12,840 --> 00:06:21,180
got a lot of testing to do this feels like it's easy as riding a bike and what

89
00:06:19,020 --> 00:06:24,560
happens if I just do this okay there's a throttle

90
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:32,520
can I go how fast can I go with the throttle

91
00:06:29,460 --> 00:06:34,740
I'm still on pedal assist one I wonder

92
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:39,319
if going up whoa there we go going from three to

93
00:06:36,539 --> 00:06:45,979
four is a big boost whoa here we go

94
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:45,979
whoa okay

95
00:06:50,280 --> 00:06:57,960
did you see that felt a big boost between uh

96
00:06:55,020 --> 00:07:01,440
pedal assist level three and four from one two and three I was pedaling

97
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:07,259
and didn't really feel a lot of acceleration then once you get to four it's like whoa here we go

98
00:07:04,919 --> 00:07:12,500
and uh five is like you want to make sure you're on a straightaway

99
00:07:08,940 --> 00:07:16,020
because unlike a normal bike

100
00:07:12,500 --> 00:07:18,120
this one's electric so so if you pedal

101
00:07:16,020 --> 00:07:21,960
it pedal assist five You're Gonna Go whether you want to or not hopefully you

102
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:25,500
want to I didn't actually look at my top speed but I'm gonna see apparently the

103
00:07:23,460 --> 00:07:29,340
top speed is supposed to be 20 miles per hour we have it here in kilometers so

104
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:34,620
I'm going to have to convert that on the Fly I don't know if I can I did play

105
00:07:32,940 --> 00:07:38,580
around with using the throttle there for a second but I'm not sure it didn't seem

106
00:07:36,419 --> 00:07:45,479
like it was really it seemed like it was a smaller boost than when I was using

107
00:07:41,099 --> 00:07:47,220
pedal assist at four and five levels so

108
00:07:45,479 --> 00:07:52,380
I'm not sure whether the pedal assist also affects

109
00:07:49,199 --> 00:07:54,240
your your throttle uh the the the torque

110
00:07:52,380 --> 00:07:58,919
you get from that or the Boost so we'll have to see

111
00:07:56,120 --> 00:08:03,139
well well well couple of camera guys out in the middle

112
00:08:01,380 --> 00:08:08,639
of nowhere where they shouldn't be where's your mama camera guys

113
00:08:06,419 --> 00:08:14,000
huh this is what the bullies in school did

114
00:08:10,259 --> 00:08:14,000
to me and now I'm passing it on

115
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:21,360
apparently you can't exceed

116
00:08:18,300 --> 00:08:23,819
32 kilometers an hour which is 20 miles

117
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:29,340
an hour but we'll see about that I'm pedaling and throttling all the way

118
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:32,340
32.7 33 33.34

119
00:08:35,159 --> 00:08:43,860
oh I hit 34. take that take that electric I'll have you guys know

120
00:08:40,860 --> 00:08:45,360
I hit 34 kilometers an hour

121
00:08:43,860 --> 00:08:52,260
and I haven't went up a little bit but then God pulled me back well between my

122
00:08:49,380 --> 00:08:58,200
previous experience with the rad wagon and uh this one

123
00:08:54,360 --> 00:09:00,180
I think I like this one better although

124
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:04,200
you know as I said those are really the only two e-bikes that I've tried in the

125
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:08,480
market but I can't really think of something that really bugged me about

126
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:14,100
this other than the key placement although Andrew pointed out

127
00:09:11,580 --> 00:09:18,839
you don't want the key to be here either because if you fall on that thing I mean

128
00:09:16,560 --> 00:09:24,600
that's a medical situation for sure the throttle goes nice and

129
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:28,260
smooth but also kind of Punchy you know there's going to be a ramp up with any

130
00:09:26,100 --> 00:09:33,540
of these devices but I liked how responsive that was again there is a

131
00:09:30,779 --> 00:09:38,160
very distinct push between pedal assist level three and four once you hit four

132
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:41,880
there's a big boost and five is another big boost

133
00:09:39,560 --> 00:09:45,420
so it's nice to know that like you know when you want the power it's there when

134
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:51,120
you don't you can also get some exercise as you can see here I'm panting

135
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:57,480
but that's also because I don't exercise this thing is 8.99 normally right now

136
00:09:54,420 --> 00:09:59,220
it's on sale for 7.99 that's going to be

137
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:03,839
completely up to you and your situation and you know whether you can make one of

138
00:10:01,620 --> 00:10:08,040
these make sense for your for your for your commute or your life uh in in other

139
00:10:07,140 --> 00:10:14,100
ways oh one thing I forgot to mention is that the weight capacity for this thing is

140
00:10:11,100 --> 00:10:17,279
275 pounds uh and you can get another

141
00:10:14,100 --> 00:10:19,700
basket that can hold 55 pounds but I'm

142
00:10:17,279 --> 00:10:26,339
guessing that you can't put 275 pounds of baskets on

143
00:10:24,660 --> 00:10:32,160
also worth mentioning is the fact that this uh instrument panel on the top here

144
00:10:29,839 --> 00:10:36,779
it was nice to have you know that that information there apparently there are

145
00:10:34,620 --> 00:10:39,660
tons of different profiles and settings that you can tweak in there I didn't

146
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:43,860
really get into that but you can set profiles so that when you turn it on for

147
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:49,200
the first time it's already at the pedal assist level that you want and obviously

148
00:10:46,500 --> 00:10:53,040
that kind of thing is nice when you are using this every day and you just want

149
00:10:50,579 --> 00:10:56,519
to get on and ride which is exactly what I did

150
00:10:54,180 --> 00:11:00,779
isn't that right Jake I'm truly a writer

151
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:05,220
of these Hills I also forgot to mention that it's got a

152
00:11:02,399 --> 00:11:10,320
LED light in the front and uh rear tail lights so you can turn that on by

153
00:11:06,540 --> 00:11:12,240
holding the plus button and

154
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:18,360
wow wow be gone Darkness thanks for watching

155

this video uh subscribe to ShortCircuit for more uh videos just like this and if

156
00:11:21,540 --> 00:11:27,120
you like this one why don't you go watch go watch the last video we did about an

157
00:11:25,560 --> 00:11:32,720
electric scooter slash bike thing they're all good

158
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,720
Hi-Ho Silver

159
00:11:33,899 --> 00:11:36,740
away
