A lot of bike for the money! But.(Updated)

Update: I like the bike a lot, but customer service is beyond horrific. I had a small plastic piece that I noticed was broken and would like to get a replacement since it came like that. It probably costs 3 dollars to replace. After 7 emails, I'm still not getting an answer. I'm starting to think their customer service is nothing more than a chatbot. I've reduced my rating from 5 to 3 and if it's not resolved by Friday, it will be further reduced to 1.Update Number 2: Same runaround answer from

Pros
  • ‎Rear, Front, Dual
Cons
  • Electric components can be costly to replace

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

Pros
  • ‎Adult
Cons
  • May require special maintenance or repair services

So far so good: my feedback

Bike is very nice, gears work, brakes work, very light, peddle assist works very good as well. that was my issue with my other electric bikes. it was either always on or had to turn off. this has 5 levels. even has a horn and light I did not see. it was a very good deal I got on Prime day. I chose this bike, because it was returnable which is important when you buy an expensive item like this. although it showed it was from New york the manufacturer was over seas so I was a little nervous in…

Pros
  • Control at Your Fingertips - Operate with a thumb throttle, disc brakes, and LCD digital display all located conveniently on the handlebars. The display lets you know your speed, mileage, battery life, and headlight status.
Cons
  • May not be allowed on certain bike paths or trails

If you hate electricity and bicycles maybe skip it.

This bike is incredible. I just upgraded from an ancient, rusty Montagna, and this thing has some real giddy up and go! Very easy to assemble, took about a half hour or so. Gears, shifter, everything is smooth, and pedal assist is powerful, took little to no effort on my part to get up to 30. The frame is sturdy aluminum construction. I highly recommend this bike, but definitely replace the tubes asap

Pros
  • ‎26 inch
Cons
  • 50-mile range can be limiting for long distance travel

Good bike for $$$ on my review.

I would have given this a 5* review if it weren't for a couple things.Pros: Very nice looking bike. I've gotten compliments on the matte finish and wheels. The electric assist and electric only modes are great when I'm feeling lazy.Cons:1). I've had an issue with is the left pedal bolt. I tightened everything when I assembled the bike but the left pedal bar continuously would come loose. But after a generous amount of Loctite, that has stopped.2.) the Gotrax website has next to nothing for…

Pros
  • Electric Bicycles
Cons
  • Electric components can be damaged or malfunction over time

So much awesome. - my new review

Wow, this bike is amazing! I was incredibly skeptical and there were not many reviews yet either. but woah is this thing super nice and so much fun!It took me about 4-5 hours to assemble and adjust everything, including a few short test rides without connecting the battery yet. It feels great riding it even without the battery, btw.The instructions are fairly terrible, but it is not difficult to figure out. I have only assembled one other bike before, so I am no expert. Another review mentioned

Pros
  • Assembled in about 20 minutes.
Cons
  • Brakes broker or never worked. I have to pay to return it!!!

More than I bargained for!

This bike has exceeded all of my expectations. It was fairly easy to assemble out of the box, but if you're not mechanically inclined, it may be better if you have it assembled at a shop. The operation instructions were a little vague, but once I figured it out I was off and running, and I do mean running! Specs said it topped out at around 20 MPH but I was easily able to get it up over 30, and I exceed the max recommended weight by 30 pounds. The LCD display is easy to read, tracking speed…

Pros
  • ‎EBE2
Cons
  • May not offer the same level of physical exercise as traditional biking

The customer service after purchasing.

Purchased this bike in US in July 2021 I live in Canada however because of COVID I only was able to get the bike in November 2021 (delivered to my daughter in the US). I was finally able to use the bike in may 2022. In July 2022 I wrote the company because I was having a pedal issue. Their response was quick & efficient. They asked for pictures & even though the warranty was finished ( 6 months warranty) they are sending replacement parts at no cost. I love this bike. The customer service is…

Pros
  • Change Your Commute - Save time as you avoid traffic and cruise through the bike lane on your morning commute. Think of the money you'll save, the electric bicycle is more cost efficient than the cars, trucks or Uber.
Cons
  • Requires access to a power source for charging

The E-Bike that I Needed

The GOTRAX EBE2 is exactly what i was looking for in a bike. I use to ride my normal bike to work everyday and over time my knees and back began to hurt from past college sport injuries which made me not want to ride any more . This made me upset because i enjoy my daily ride to work in the mornings and i also enjoy the satisfaction of knowing i am helping the environment as well. So once i saw the EBE2 i knew i needed to give it a try. This bike is truly worth the money, with a massive 50…

Pros
  • ‎20 Kilograms
Cons
  • May require a learning curve to operate effectively

Excellent value for my opinion

It actually arrived in about 4 days of ordering it. Set up was standard for any bike, front tire, handlebar, and pedels.It performs as expected, and I have even had it in the woods riding trails.

Pros
  • Up to 50 Miles Per Charge! - Featuring a 36v12.5aH High Capacity Removable Battery the mountain bike can reach up to 50 miles with pedal assist or up to 25 miles using thumb throttle only.
Cons
  • May not be practical for individuals who frequently need to transport large items or cargo while biking

A E-Bikes for Cycling Enthusiast.

This ebike catches my eyes when the first time I saw it.1)Design - The black-and-green color and elite frame looks powerful and attractive.2)Wheels - I like the 26" aluminum alloy rims so much. It looks really cool!3)Motor - When I start the ebike and press the throttle to speed up, it really fast and fun. 350W motor is strong enough to overcome any kind of terrain. 21-speed gears is a bonus for me.4)Battery - I can easily travel for over 48 miles thanks to the big battery. Battery is removable

Don’t buy from gotrax!

Don’t buy from Gotrax! I paid $1300 for an ebike traveler model, ebike motor stopped working less than a week after buying it. No one answers the phones there or will respond to emails, their claims of any warranty are false as they don’t respond to anything. Huge rip off.

Pros
  • ‎Unisex-adult
Cons
  • Motor may become noisy or annoying after extended use

HOW DOES IT TURN ON?

How do you even turn this on? Mine doesn't even turn on and I've charged the battery, is my battery faulty? I've taken well care of my bike is there a way I could contact them and get a replacement? What did I even spend almost 1,000 dollars for? Can someone please help me solve this problem?

From sedentary to very active

I got this bike for my Husband. He would come home from work (part time) and sit in his recliner until bedtime, now he comes home and goes for a ride for hours. He LOVES the bike and he gets exercise (a big bonus).

Pros
  • BMX
Cons
  • May not be eligible for insurance coverage

Good bike at a decent price

The bike was shipped fast and was pretty easy to assemble. It's a good bike for the price u pay seat was a little small and not as comfortable as I would have liked and the tires aren't the best but they make do. Gets good charge and speed when charge but does slow down a bit as it loses it's charge. Overall happy with what I got

Pros
  • Cycling
Cons
  • May not be compatible with certain types of tires or wheels

Good Bike But Torque is lacking.

This is a great bike. It has good features like mag wheels, nice LCD, Cruise Control (hold the down button) and nice horn. I only wish it had a little more torque when you press the throttle. I have a smaller ebike 250w Macwheel 16 LNE and it has good torque for it's 16inch wheels.

Pros
  • ‎Electric Bike, Charger
Cons
  • May not be as easy to find replacement parts for
