The bike came incredibly fast, a day before the earliest day of delivery in fact so that was a very nice surprise. The packaging is really good and everything inside was in great condition.
There are no instructions on how to put the bike together (Front wheel, handlebars, front breaks & pedals needed to be assembled) so if you have never done any of this before, it may take you a little while to figure it out. Although most of it is very self explanatory the left pedal would not thread into the crank properly. It in fact had to be threaded backwards, contradicting the classic 'lefty loosely, righty tighty'.
I did have / still having an issue with the front breaks not being tight enough, but with a little fiddling, I could sort this out.
The design of the bike is really good. It's sturdy and well built and the paint job is really great.
The battery fits in really nicely to the base of the bike and can be charged through a port on the side, so no need to take the battery out. I do however take the battery out, which locks in with a key and I charge it indoors.
The motor and functioning of the battery assistance is quite good. You can chose from three settings, of assist, and it's always good to change gears and power assistance on the gradient of the journey. My trip to work is all downhill / flat ground and I can go 2 miles in around 10-13 mins so it's a great time saver. The trip home however is a little tougher as the power assist isn't great on steep hills, I have had to get off and walk or find a longer way home. It doesn't have a throttle so it'll only kick in when it needs to. I also think that when it registers that you are going a certain speed, it will actually slow the bike down.
The seat isn't great, very uncomfortable so I will be looking to change it out for a more cushioned one.
All in all, for the price it is extremely good value. You'll be very hard pressed to find anything close to this quality and price.
