DAMSON Electric Bike for Adults 1500W Peak Motor (Real-World Tested), 30MPH Top Speed, 48V 20Ah Battery 70-Mile Range, 26" Fat Tire Off-Road Ebike, Full Suspension, Dual Hydraulic Brakes

I bought the R5 Pro with 2 Batteries to replace my ReAspire 26x4 folding ebike with the same frame style I’ve had for 4 years and the Amazon seller has disappeared. I put 5,500 miles on my former ReAspire before the lower fork cracked on the rear. When I found the R5 Pro it was the nearest replacement to my beloved ebike I’m so used to. First Problem: I ordered the R5 Pro thinking it would be an upgrade from the ReAspire 750 Watt motor as the R5 Pro is advertised with a 1,000 watt motor peaks at 1,500 watt. However, the R5 Pro I received came with a 750 Watt Motor as indicated on the back wheel’s motor (see photo). I double checked the listing and sure enough the R5 Pro is sold as a 1,000 watt / 1,500 Watt peak. After contacting the support they explained to me that models manufactured after late 2025 have a 750watt motor with peak of 1500 watt. This is a good thing with new laws coming out about motor sizes. The motor does power the bike extremely well. Second Problem - Turning radius: This bike has extended front forks that extend above the frame and the extended, upper fork is where the headlight mounts. The issue is this limits the turning radius and requires wide turns whereas my previous ReAspire has a lower fork that allows full turning radius. To me this is a safety concern but there’s not much that can be done with the extended forks. I’ll get use to this turning radius over time. Otherwise the bike went together well. The instructions manual is awful for assembly. I had to go find YouTube videos to figure out small things like front wheel mounting and headlight mounting. Headlight: I was looking forward to finally getting a bullet style headlight and this headlight does the job! Seat: The seat is good quality but I prefer the Cloud 9 seat and have upgraded mine. Speed: I was able to reach 26mph pedaling on PAS 5 the highest setting. Tires were inflated to 20psi and brakes were properly set and no rubbing. I’m 185lbs and this is fast enough. Battery: I am noticing 20-25 mile range in a combination of PAS 3 - PAS 5 average speed mph with the headlight on. I believe the only way to get 50-60 miles is PAS 1, full pedal without the headlight on. The 130 range for 2 batteries is excessive, but possible. Having a second battery is nice, but not something I would carry with me on the bike due to the 15lbs weight. As well, folding and unfolding the bike is not an easy task to swap the battery. It would have been nice to mount the second battery in the rear rack with a switch to switch between them for longer distance but that’s not an option. You have to fold, replace and fold it back. Thankfully my last bike, the ReAspire’s battery lasted 4 years with daily riding and recharging and still going. Hopefully I will never run out of batteries having two of them before other major components fail. Brakes: Exactly the same Logan hydraulic brakes as my ReAspire. I couldn’t find a Logan brand replacement for these so on my other bike and I changed calipers and handles at 5,000 miles. I assume these will last as long provided changing the brake pads every few months (heavy ebike eats brake pads fast). This is definitely a larger bike than my ReAspire and feels like a “pro” version of that. Overall I am impressed with this bike. I recommend for any serious adult riders. I upgrade my tires to Origin 8 street tires and Tannus liners and have only had one flat after 4,000 miles of trail riding and have upgraded my R5 as well. Smooth riding. Happy customer.

UPDATE: I've had it for a bit now, and I can say that yeah, just like the other reviews, the battery life isn't as great as it claims to be, and when the battery is down to half, it's much harder to pedal. THAT BEING SAID: I'm still super happy with my purchase. It gets me home in 15 minutes, versus the couple of hours it usually takes me to walk, with the fibro. The only other thing that bothers me is the fenders are *super* rattly/loud, but that's really just a noise/cosmetic issue. Nbd! Don't mind the terrible video with me complaining about the seat, where you can't see anything but the road. I just wanted to show what it's like on the throttle! Okay, so, to start with - I am a fat girl. Not your average, "aw, chubby girls that weigh 5 pounds over the average are so cute!" fat, but the kind of fat that makes my kick more akin to a mule's after walking 4 miles back and forth to work for nearly 14 years. I was terrified I'd sit on this thing and crush it like an empty soda can, but to my surprise, there was no screaming death squeak as I sat in the saddle. The full suspension is truly a godsend, because I'm not sure what I'd do if I sat down and the wheels popped off and broke my neighbor's windows and/or his bones. Secondly: This thing hefts my 380 pound ass like I weigh NOTHING. I'm not kidding. I was afraid it would be a chore to get it moving, but the pedal assist works like a charm, and I hardly have to put forth any effort unless I want to, which is awesome! I have fibromyalgia, so I was nervous I'd get stranded somewhere if I wasn't able to pedal back, which brings me to my third point: the throttle on this bike is wonderful. You can go purely on electric, just by pulling the throttle on the handlebar back, and it zooms me along from a dead stop as fast as it would with a skinny person in the seat. I'm not afraid to go out for an exercise ride, or go to and from work, because I know I'll be able to make it back. The bike came with a rear rack, which was super nice and sturdy, some mirrors (which I couldn't fit on the bike...the clamps just didn't fit, or perhaps I am stupid and/or losing my mind after working for a place that rhymes with hallfart for so many years. Anyway! It also came with a bike lock and key, and a neat phone holder, which I used to hold my phone and listen to Saint Mesa loud enough to make my neighbors wonder who the watermelon shaped weirdo with the stuffed animal cat backpack zooming down the road was. The only downside I'm seeing is, one, the seat, even though I imagine quite comfortable for skinnier people, as it's VERY cushy, makes me feel like I've been hit in the coochie by a crowbar a few times for saying a bad word in front of somebody's southern grandma - but like I said, that's likely just because I'm fat. Nothing a gel seat cover won't fix, for some extra padding! The second downside is, the wheel popped out of it's casing a few times before I was able to really get it to stay in there, which is worrisome, but fine I guess if it doesn't happen again. In that case, perhaps I will lay on the floor for two weeks and cry. I'm really happy with this purchase, but I've also only had it for a couple of days. I'll come update this review in a month or two after I've gone back and forth to work with it for awhile!

The Burchda R5 Pro e-bike has completely exceeded my expectations in every way. Its powerful motor and smooth acceleration make uphill rides and long commutes effortless and enjoyable. I was especially impressed with the battery life—easily lasting me over 45 miles on a single charge with pedal assist. The build quality feels solid and premium, with a sleek design that turns heads wherever I go. The fat tires handle rough terrain, gravel, and city streets with impressive stability and comfort. I also love the LCD display, which provides all the essential info at a glance. Overall, the R5 Pro is an outstanding e-bike that delivers performance, reliability, and style—I highly recommend it!

So far i am very impressed with this Ebike. I have pushed it to its limits and found that it performs very well. The distance so far has been very good in a single charge. I found i needed to keep battery inside as i live in Canada and it gets cold. 100% recommend!! Also customer service so far has been very good!

I received the bike within the timelines advised and so could not be happier, the build itself was straight forward enough, plenty of videos online for the R5 just in case you have issues (front light was my only stumbling block). The quality is very good, it is certainly on the heavier side but not too much of an issue and handles well. I had one issue and so a note to all when assembling, the rear stowage rack assembly is very strong, it is being held by some small bolts not sure the size maybe M3 or 4, you really need to tighten both in unison, I had both in and one partial whilst tightening and it popped the other one out, which meant it stripped the threads in the frame not the bolt and now I cannot secure it properly! Not sure what to do at this time, likely need to re-thread with tap set and put larger bolt in! Other than that I personally think this bike is very good and my son, who it was a gift for is extremely happy.

Great product awesome

Range is not even close what seller is advertising, riding it 3 days now , I charged it to the full and battery hardly hardly last for 10 miles very upsetting reached out to seller but response
