WEBVTT

00:00:00.060 --> 00:00:06.899
electric no e so if I catch any of you

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

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

00:00:14.759 --> 00:00:23.939
electric says is the best pound-for-pound e-bike on the market

00:00:20.760 --> 00:00:25.800
I'll be the judge of that electric at

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

00:00:27.599 --> 00:00:35.040
we've been using it for a while to go back and forth between

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

00:00:38.100 --> 00:00:43.860
reviewed an electric bike before just so you know back at NCIX it did the rav

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

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

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

00:00:57.059 --> 00:01:04.440
the longest Dimension is that right 36 inches 36 inches in the longest

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

00:01:05.880 --> 00:01:13.080
right now oh okay

00:01:09.900 --> 00:01:15.240
all right you flip that thing over and

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

00:01:17.220 --> 00:01:22.680
battery you can't operate it without this key without without this it's just

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

00:01:26.460 --> 00:01:35.460
yeah okay ah and there's the battery inside okay

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

00:01:37.560 --> 00:01:44.280
nice look at that okay and then this goes you can push

00:01:42.240 --> 00:01:48.659
this in a bit more I almost pinch my fingers there always watch out for your

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

00:01:50.460 --> 00:01:58.979
you know that in here is the battery it is a 40 it's capable

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

00:02:00.899 --> 00:02:07.619
on the market that's their claim I don't really know much so

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

00:02:10.259 --> 00:02:16.860
bike with up to a 40 mile range if

00:02:13.500 --> 00:02:19.020
you're using the weakest pedal assist

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

00:02:21.959 --> 00:02:27.540
assist levels so you don't feel like you're being all

00:02:26.220 --> 00:02:31.680
the way lazy and then I turn it

00:02:29.340 --> 00:02:35.280
and it won't go any further oh there it is

00:02:33.420 --> 00:02:39.060
oh so the process of taking the battery out

00:02:37.440 --> 00:02:44.040
is actually yeah it's a bit more complicated than I thought uh you have

00:02:40.920 --> 00:02:45.599
to uh turn the keys so that this little

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

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

00:02:52.019 --> 00:02:57.360
have an extra battery that you're swapping in instead of charging and

00:02:55.860 --> 00:03:01.980
you're literally riding this thing all day uh you're probably not gonna have to

00:02:59.700 --> 00:03:06.300
deal with this that often but it did take me a second to figure out

00:03:03.720 --> 00:03:12.000
only my second e-bike review make sure that's in the video

00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:14.159
but regardless regardless that's what

00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:19.920
the battery looks like four to six hours charging time to get from zero to 100

00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:22.440
just like Nicholas Cage

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

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

00:03:27.900 --> 00:03:33.599
get down there especially with this cord in the way I would really like if that

00:03:31.200 --> 00:03:36.659
was on the top or somewhere else but I understand why they didn't do that

00:03:34.620 --> 00:03:40.620
because it looks so much smoother this way very smooth and sleek and that's

00:03:39.060 --> 00:03:46.260
what I'm primarily concerned about when I'm looking for a vehicle to transport

00:03:43.140 --> 00:03:49.459
me from A to B apparently 46 Pounds

00:03:46.260 --> 00:03:49.459
which I mean

00:03:49.920 --> 00:03:55.080
that that feels about 46 to me seven

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

00:03:57.299 --> 00:04:02.879
normal not e-bike you could you could take the battery out and I

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

00:04:06.180 --> 00:04:13.319
gotta say just snap and it's a very satisfying snap I like when things are

00:04:11.340 --> 00:04:18.959
satisfying so apparently this thing you know as I said packs a bit of a punch

00:04:15.180 --> 00:04:22.440
it's got 48 volts 300 watts uh of power

00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:24.120
and it can get up to 720 at Peak power I

00:04:22.440 --> 00:04:28.680
don't exactly 100 you know understand what that means but I'll find out what

00:04:26.280 --> 00:04:33.540
it means when I take it for a ride which I will do now after

00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:37.560
I tell you about our sponsor thanks to vessi Footwear for sponsoring this video

00:04:35.720 --> 00:04:42.000
fussy Footwear is known for being lightweight easy to pack like this bike

00:04:39.960 --> 00:04:45.900
comfortable and most importantly water resistant with its dymatex technology

00:04:44.100 --> 00:04:49.080
their everyday move line is designed with added support of the midsole and

00:04:47.580 --> 00:04:53.340
better breathability to keep up with your active lifestyle take them off and

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

00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:08.040
the pedals trust me your feet will thank you for

00:05:04.740 --> 00:05:11.639
wearing these so save 25 bucks with our

00:05:08.040 --> 00:05:13.440
code ShortCircuit at vesi.com Short

00:05:11.639 --> 00:05:17.220
Circuit so hold the power button there on the

00:05:15.300 --> 00:05:20.520
left thing you got a power button and then you got the plus and the minus

00:05:18.479 --> 00:05:25.919
button over here as well to uh change your level of pedal assist that 40 mile

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

00:05:27.720 --> 00:05:32.699
five at five you're basically just riding a motorbike and you should

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

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

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

00:05:47.520 --> 00:05:54.979
me feel powerful okay let's do it

00:05:52.259 --> 00:05:54.979
Let's Ride

00:05:59.880 --> 00:06:04.820
whoa whoa

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

00:06:09.000 --> 00:06:15.300
come back and then I'm going to go to the Labs I

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

00:06:19.020 --> 00:06:24.560
happens if I just do this okay there's a throttle

00:06:25.440 --> 00:06:32.520
can I go how fast can I go with the throttle

00:06:29.460 --> 00:06:34.740
I'm still on pedal assist one I wonder

00:06:32.520 --> 00:06:39.319
if going up whoa there we go going from three to

00:06:36.539 --> 00:06:45.979
four is a big boost whoa here we go

00:06:42.080 --> 00:06:45.979
whoa okay

00:06:50.280 --> 00:06:57.960
did you see that felt a big boost between uh

00:06:55.020 --> 00:07:01.440
pedal assist level three and four from one two and three I was pedaling

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

00:07:04.919 --> 00:07:12.500
and uh five is like you want to make sure you're on a straightaway

00:07:08.940 --> 00:07:16.020
because unlike a normal bike

00:07:12.500 --> 00:07:18.120
this one's electric so so if you pedal

00:07:16.020 --> 00:07:21.960
it pedal assist five You're Gonna Go whether you want to or not hopefully you

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

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

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

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

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

00:07:41.099 --> 00:07:47.220
pedal assist at four and five levels so

00:07:45.479 --> 00:07:52.380
I'm not sure whether the pedal assist also affects

00:07:49.199 --> 00:07:54.240
your your throttle uh the the the torque

00:07:52.380 --> 00:07:58.919
you get from that or the Boost so we'll have to see

00:07:56.120 --> 00:08:03.139
well well well couple of camera guys out in the middle

00:08:01.380 --> 00:08:08.639
of nowhere where they shouldn't be where's your mama camera guys

00:08:06.419 --> 00:08:14.000
huh this is what the bullies in school did

00:08:10.259 --> 00:08:14.000
to me and now I'm passing it on

00:08:14.520 --> 00:08:21.360
apparently you can't exceed

00:08:18.300 --> 00:08:23.819
32 kilometers an hour which is 20 miles

00:08:21.360 --> 00:08:29.340
an hour but we'll see about that I'm pedaling and throttling all the way

00:08:26.360 --> 00:08:32.340
32.7 33 33.34

00:08:35.159 --> 00:08:43.860
oh I hit 34. take that take that electric I'll have you guys know

00:08:40.860 --> 00:08:45.360
I hit 34 kilometers an hour

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

00:08:49.380 --> 00:08:58.200
previous experience with the rad wagon and uh this one

00:08:54.360 --> 00:09:00.180
I think I like this one better although

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

00:09:02.040 --> 00:09:08.480
market but I can't really think of something that really bugged me about

00:09:05.760 --> 00:09:14.100
this other than the key placement although Andrew pointed out

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

00:09:16.560 --> 00:09:24.600
that's a medical situation for sure the throttle goes nice and

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

00:09:26.100 --> 00:09:33.540
of these devices but I liked how responsive that was again there is a

00:09:30.779 --> 00:09:38.160
very distinct push between pedal assist level three and four once you hit four

00:09:35.760 --> 00:09:41.880
there's a big boost and five is another big boost

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

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

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

00:09:54.420 --> 00:09:59.220
it's on sale for 7.99 that's going to be

00:09:57.480 --> 00:10:03.839
completely up to you and your situation and you know whether you can make one of

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

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

00:10:11.100 --> 00:10:17.279
275 pounds uh and you can get another

00:10:14.100 --> 00:10:19.700
basket that can hold 55 pounds but I'm

00:10:17.279 --> 00:10:26.339
guessing that you can't put 275 pounds of baskets on

00:10:24.660 --> 00:10:32.160
also worth mentioning is the fact that this uh instrument panel on the top here

00:10:29.839 --> 00:10:36.779
it was nice to have you know that that information there apparently there are

00:10:34.620 --> 00:10:39.660
tons of different profiles and settings that you can tweak in there I didn't

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

00:10:41.640 --> 00:10:49.200
the first time it's already at the pedal assist level that you want and obviously

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

00:10:50.579 --> 00:10:56.519
to get on and ride which is exactly what I did

00:10:54.180 --> 00:11:00.779
isn't that right Jake I'm truly a writer

00:10:59.040 --> 00:11:05.220
of these Hills I also forgot to mention that it's got a

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

00:11:06.540 --> 00:11:12.240
holding the plus button and

00:11:10.320 --> 00:11:18.360
wow wow be gone Darkness thanks for watching

00:11:16.140 --> 00:11:23.519
this video uh subscribe to ShortCircuit for more uh videos just like this and if

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

00:11:25.560 --> 00:11:32.720
electric scooter slash bike thing they're all good

00:11:29.360 --> 00:11:32.720
Hi-Ho Silver

00:11:33.899 --> 00:11:36.740
away
