I preface this by saying that this is my first ebike purchase and i have spent many hours comparing other ebike options on amazon. I hope this review is helpful for others as well.Shipping - 5 stars==============Item was all packed very neatly and secured.Assembly - 5 stars==============Very simple to assemble and did not need any instructions. Only needed to attach pedals, seat, handle bars, front tire and front rack. Battery was also partially charged. Tires needed to be inflated and reccomened value is 20 -25 psi which is perfect. Item is very solid and well made.Ride quality 5=============One of the reasons i choose DJ. Bikes was the front suspension plus fat tires and suspension based seats. The bike eats potholes and bumps for breakfast. It is a joy to go off road in the park to street pavement. I weight 260lbs and the bike had no issue taking me up hills. The motor is very powerful. I cant comment on range as of yet but will update my review accordingly.Range (updated 8/29/18)==============I decided to make range a separate item as it involves many factors. My current commute is 28 milesround rip (14 oneway) and involves multiple hills between with some flat land included. I average 15mph with a max speed of 30 to 37 on some downhills. On a full battery using PAS 1-3, throttle to take off from a stop light and throttle to pass other bikers netted me 3 bar left when i got home. Removing the racks and traveling light would also increase the range. Overall i am impressed.Battery care==============Best method would be to charge it to 80 percent daily after each use and not to drain the battery completly, as this can cause long term damage. Highly reccomend getting a multimeter and wifi smart plug to assist with that setup.Other Thoughts===============One of the biggest reasons i choose DJbikes was the customer service and communication. I previosly ordered from another seller on amazon, but cancelled due to lack of warranty information and horror stories of customers being stranded when things go wrong. With DJ bikes i have gotten fast responses. You also get a 1 year warranty. A big selling factor to me as well is that all the parts lcd,controller and battery are avaliable on their website. This a huge plus and will contribute to the longevity of the bike as well and gives better piece of mind of purchase. The bike also has a powerful 750 watt motor (accelartion) with powerful battery 48volts (think huge horsepower) With 13amps(think huge gas tank). Having a folding ebike is a huge positive especially for apartments small on space. But this ebike is heavy, even for me. The rear is bottom heavy due to the big motor, rear rack and battery. Ideally i would like the battery in the frame to help balance things. However, having the battery in the rear makes it easy to remove, replace and charge the battery. On a final note this is a fat tire bike. It will take more effort to pedal it which will a small effect on range compared to standard tire sizes. However, it is much durable and allow you acess greater terrain. I have gone over broken glass bottles,wreckage from a car accident,potholes and sharps rocks and gravel in a park trail,and stairs with ease. I rather have that flexibily instead for everyday life!!! My only gripe is at this price they should have at least included push in foldable pedals. Its also a good idea to check and retighten screws weekly as they can come loose. A screw came loose for my kickstand and am still awaiting a replacement from the seller a week later.
