So cute!
Another Update:I'm pretty sure I have gone more than 10 miles but it hasnt given me the option to move my speed up to 30. It's still on 25. I wish there was a feature in the app that told you exactly how many miles you've gone. This is a really fun bike, I just wish it went faster and I wish it went up hills. It will only go up hills that are not too steep and it goes pretty slow up hills. Its kind of embarassing easing up the hill on that slow @$$ bike. I feel like a clown. LOLAlso, always bring your charger with you so tht you can plug it in at starbucks or something if you run out of juice, once it gets down to 15 percent, consider it dead because it pretty much slows down and then stops working once it gets under 20% power. It lasts about 12 miles maybe more before it dies though.Update:This is a slow a$$ bike lmaoooo it’s fun to ride but it is kinda slow someone on a “wheels” electric bike sped right past me. And it definitely slows down when you're going up a hill even if it;s not that steep. My app lets me set it to 20 mph but I dont think its going that fast. A Wheels electric bike sped right past me and those supposedly only go 21mph. Maybe even though my app says 20, it doesnt really go that fast yet because i havent gone ten miles yet? I will find out soon and give another update.It says you should wear a helmet with this bike but as slow as it is i dont think you need one. Also you would look dumb as hell on this tiny bike with a helmet unless you;re a kid LOL____Just got this bike today. It’s so cute. I love it. I haven’t ridden it far. I’ve only ridden it to the post office & back. Which was about a half mile each way. So my battery is down 25%. IM not sure how the battery life is yet because I didn’t charge it til the light turned green. However the battery life said 100% on the app. 🤷🏽♀️Here are my assessments about the bike so far. I will update once I’ve had it longer. I am 5 feet 9 inches tall. I weigh about 212 pounds. I have long legs. The bike is a good height for me. The handle bars are high enough for me which made me happy so when I get off of the bike I can walk it without having to bend over.I do wish the seat was higher though. They should have made the seat adjustable. If the seat was about two inches higher it would be perfect. But it’s not unbearable where it is.The app claims that it lets you go 25mph. I have not tried it that fast. I have only gone about 12mph so far but that’s fast enough for me cuz I’m a scaredy cat. I’m scared to go fast. Someone passed me on a skateboard 😂😂😂Once I get used to riding the bike I will go faster. I have to get used to handling it. The handle bars are very sensitive. You don’t need to turn them much to turn. Also you have to keep both hands on the handle bars. It felt very unsturdy trying to ride with one hand. It makes the bike veer to one side. Maybe I just don’t know what I’m doing.The control is on the Right handle Bar just like the Wheels brand biked. You turn it back toward you. The farther back you turn it toward you the faster it goes. But the thing is if you ease up, the bike will slow down. If you have it all the way back toward you and you let it go it will slow down fast and jerk. It’s very jerky. Whatever speed you want to ride at, you have to hold the control at that speed. If you pull it back it goes faster. Let it snap forward it goes slower and it’s sensitive. It’s not a gradual ease so you have to manually control the speed the whole time unless you put it on cruise control. That takes getting used to.Also turning sharp corners wasn’t smooth for me. I almost crashed into a bush and a gate a couple of times trying to turn sharp corners so you have to slow down a lot when you turn. But I think the longer you have it you’ll get used to controlling it.I think it’s smart that you can’t unlock faster speeds until you have gone 10 miles. You really need to get used to the bike. The app currently tells me I can go 25 miles per hour and I’ve only ridden it 1 mile so far. But I feel it’s too dangerous for me to set mine that high until I’m comfortable riding it.I haven’t gone up any steep hold and don’t plan to. I went up a moderate hill and it carries my weight just fine. Didn’t slow down.I’m going to plug it back in and see if it goes to green because I had it plugged in for 2 hours and the light still hadn’t gone to green. Out of the box it was already 50% charged.I’m going to get a gel seat for more comfort for my booty but the seat is fairly soft. It needs. A little more cushion though.Also, There is a handle to carry the bike but honestly it’s pretty heavy so you won’t be carrying it far. Maybe up some stairs. But If you’re walking you’ll have to roll it instead Of carrying it.Overall I love it and am happy with the purchase.Hope this helps anyone considering getting the bike.

Updated review
I will edit this review as necessary after using the bike more times, but I am very pleased with it so far. I got this bike to help save my feet from all the walking that is required of my job. I plan to mostly use it around shopping malls, office parks and industrial sites as I need to see and make maps of these various properties for me work.Pros:Great price for what you get.Small enough and light enough to fit in the back of my Honda CRV ... even without folding it.Powerful enough to move my 6'0" 280lb body. (Yes, my body is OVER specs for this bike.)Moves at a nice clip on level ground. About 15mph I'd guess.First test ride of 20 to 25 mins going mostly flat out and it only went down to 75% charge left.Cruise control is very handy.Looks to be solidly built and welded together. (But I'm still gonna try to take it easy on bumps so as to limit any metal fatigue.)Coasts a long way without power.Cons:As expected, my body is over spec for this bike's power. So going up any incline starts to tax it's abilities.My fat @ss doesn't like the smallish seat so much, so I will probably buy a larger one.It's about the size of a large mini bike. As a kid, that was big enough for me. But as a 6'0" 280 adult, it's kinda at the limit of it's abilities to handle my size. Long rides might not be very comfortable for my frame on a smaller bike. But all in all, it's not bad. And since my primary usage will be for short "point to point" rides on a large office campus or shopping center, I don't expect fatigue to be too much of an issue.Doesn't come with a basket.Handle bar and seat height are fixed, so you can't alter it any.Not much in the way of shock absorption. You’ll feel it every time you hit a bump.Keep in mind, the small tires and overall top heavy build of the bike gives it a low center of gravity and very different handling than a normal sized bike. You will be top heavy (especially if you are large like me) and it will handle like one of those circus clown bikes. But it's not really that bad and this 62 year old fat man was able to ride it well.All in all, I'm very happy so far and I only hope to get 1 or 2 years usage from it before I have to buy another. But for the price, that's not really a problem.Update: I’ve had it for almost a year. Still agree with all of the above, however the breaks have always been uneven and grabby. I also don’t like how you have to honk the horn 3 times to turn on the lights. But it’s still great for the price.

So fun to ride and easy to set up
I'm really enjoying this bike much more than I thought I would. It's super fun and easy to ride for any activity... commuting, running errands, and just riding around for fun. It feels very sturdy and holds a great charge and I haven't been worried at all yet about the durability or battery life of it.The bike arrived in a single box and almost 100% assembled already. The only thing I needed to do was screw on the pedals which took 30 seconds. It also arrived 75% charged already so I was able to take it out for a ride without having to wait to charge it first. The only slight thing was that the tires could use a little bit more air, which I pumped them up more after my first ride, but it wasn't absolutely necessary. The tires use any regular bike pump so that was easy and the instruction manual told me what PSI to set the air pressure at.The size is great in that I can sit up perfectly comfortable but also it's compact enough to store it away or carry it since it folds down easily.It came with an instruction booklet that I read through to make sure I understood how to operate the bike, but to be honest, the operating of the bike is so simple.The bike also looks very sleek with great aesthetics.Overall, I'm very pleased with this bike and it exceeded all of my expectations.
