Review on 🚲 Gotrax Electric Bike 26" - Powerful 350W Motor, 20MPH Speed, 50 Mile Range - Shimano 21-Speed Commuter Electric BMX Bicycle for Travel and E-Bike Enthusiasts by Stoner Fulton

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Fantastic value, high quality, bad documentation

There is a LOT to like about this bicycle. Unfortunately, the documentation is not one of them. I am a retired Quality Systems Manager and Nuclear Technician. So, I demand precision and quality. I gave four stars because although the bicycle itself possesses these attributes, the documentation provided left much to be desired. No actual operational instructions were provided. Simple slap together instructions for the assembly and a quick note on a few of the functions of the computer. Certainly no details about the functions of the computer and absolutely no instructions on how to ride the bicycle. All of that aside, this is a fantastic machine! I weigh 225 lbs., and I can ride it nearly all day long without worrying about it running out of power. I've even noticed it charging itself going down hills! The lockable front suspension is very nice. I added a rear view mirror and water bottle holder. It's 21 speeds (3x7), not 7 as shown in some online posts. I usually leave the front sprocket in high gear, but sometimes leave it in the middle if I'm going slow. If the battery ever runs out, which has not yet happened during a day trip, it's nice to know that the lowest 3rd gear up front is available. I replaced the seat because I thought the stock one was too skinny. I am 6'2", so I added a gooseneck extender in order to raise up the handlebars. After assembling it, I had to take it into a shop to get the front disc brake adjusted; it was squeaking. That was a little bit of a bother but didn't take much to repair. Otherwise, this is a very fine machine and I have been riding it a lot. My advice is to charge the battery after every ride! Keep the battery indoors! I purchased this during a Black Friday event so I won't even embarrass you by telling you how little I paid. Every cent was worth it! At nearly twice the price, this bike is worth it!
