NAKTO Fat Tire Electric Bike Beach Snow Bicycle 26" 4.0 inch Fat Tire Electric Bicycle 300W36V10A/500W48V12A Electric Mountain ebike for Adults with 6 Speeds Lithium Battery,Smart LCD Display

I am thrilled with this electric bike. I am a 5'3 female weighing 150lbs, have one bad knee and am 54 yrs old. I ride a stationary bike at home for between 10-20 min a day and attend water aerobics 3 times a week in the summer. This is my first electric bike and while I do want a workout, I also want to keep up with my very in shape husband as we go up and down the hilly neighborhoods and parks. I also wanted a bike that folded so I could put it in my Chevy Cruise trunk, when not taking the Ford truck. Additionally, I wanted a low entry bike so I would not have to throw my leg over a bar to get on it. Since I am 5'3 I did not want a large frame so that I could rest my feet on the ground when stopped. At 150 lbs I did not want a bike with such small wheels I looked like a clown on a tiny bike like at the circus. Finally, I did not want to unload a ton of money in case I did not like the electric bike. So these were my criteria and without exception, this bike meets them all! The bike came in a box but was essentially together albeit folded. The free assembly expert was unavailable in VA, since he was located in San Diego. Putting it together using a video on YouTube by the manufacturer helped, but it is not the exact bike. Their's is a "Nakto Fashion Folding Bike". I am fairly certain this is the "Nakto Spark Folding Bike". The biggest headache to setting it up is aligning the handlebars with the seat because the join is sideways so that it can fold at an angle. The other issue was the seat. It has a fairly weak clamp that my husband feels does not tightly secure the seat in place. That having been said I rode it yesterday for 5 miles on street, dirt and grass, as well as hopping down a curb without my seat dropping or moving to the side. Other than those two issues we had the bike ready to ride in about 30 minutes. To start it off the battery must be charged. Mine took 4 hours and then the manual recommended for a "full charge", that after the green light comes on the charger, you add one more hour of charging. We did it. The manufacturer also recommends that after each ride, regardless of the length, that you charge your battery for a longer life of the battery. We did that too. My experience in riding this electric bike: It does not have gears so without any electric assistance it is as easy to ride as your childhood bike when they were all metal. I found it to be a good ride, though keep in mind it has no shocks either. It has hand brakes but you cannot pedal it backwards or it will drop the chain as I discovered. Because I do want to get exercise this bike was nearly perfect for me. I pedal without pushing in the red button on the display panel (in=on/out=off) which engages the pedal assist and use it as a regular bike. When that button is pushed as you pedal you hear a low whirl sound and feel the engine add strength to your pedaling. If you have the pedal assist on you may make 2 or 3 full rotations with the pedals but the bike will quickly pick up speed. If you stop pedaling to coast the engine turns off and the bike begins to slow until you resume pedaling. This takes some getting use to as I dropped my bike chain twice when I pedaled when there was no resistance on the pedals. So I figured out that I keep the pedal assist off, ride as a regular bike, but when facing a large hill or when I lose sight of my husband, I push the button and pedal assist kicks in providing me with the extra speed in a burst that I need after which I then turn it off. Regarding the throttle, no pedaling or pushing buttons is necessary. It is always available, though I only used it for two reasons. The first was when I threw the bike chain, I stopped pedaling and used the throttle like a motorcycle to get me home. The other time was when I rode up a steep dirt incline that had an uneven surface. Again I employed it like a dirt bike and it climbed up pretty well. I did need to pedal once or twice at the very top. To use the throttle, you simply turn the right handlebar. It is centered towards the middle of the bike and does not get in the way of using the right handlebar when you don't want to use the throttle. I do not believe you can accidentally get the throttle to turn on. I read this 250 motor would top out at 15mph but I had it at 20mph on pedal assist when on a paved side road. I was not trying to see how fast it would go but I have mounted my own "cat eye velo 7" on it and could read the speed. Incidentally, the attached picture shows the control screen. All that does is tell you how much battery is left. I rode over 5 miles and never saw a drop on the battery. Also, in the pictures you will see a helmet and a rear pack. I have purchase both of those separately. They do not come with the bike. The back rack is a solid rack that is permanently mounted to the back of the bike. It does come with fenders, headlight, a beeping sound for a bell, and a back light. There is a switch on the left handlebar that works the light and has a button for the bell. My back light does not turn on so it may just be a reflector I'm not really sure. The front light is great! My final point for those who hope to carry this bike around. It definitely weighs 50lbs, (battery alone is 10lbs) so while it can become compact when folded, it is not manageable for whipping in and out of trains while commuting, unless you are a very strong person. I can move it around but it takes effort. However, on the positive side, it is a solid well made bike! Overall, for what I wanted, this bike is fantastic! Thank you Nakto!

VERY MISLEADING! First and foremost I had this bike put together professionally! And the professional I paid $200 too told me it took them 2 hours to put together! DO NOT TRY TO PUT THIS TOGETHER YOURSELF!When I bought this bike, I printed (and saved!) the following specs! See below! The are a lie!I just tested my Bike today and the absolute max speed on electric is 19MPH, NOT 30 MPH! This bike is a massive disappointment and felt I was mislead tremendously! It does NOT go over 19mph in e-mode and that is VERY DIFFERENT That the specs below! Altogether I feel like this bike looks good, but I should have bought a second one of the bike I just bought for my girlfriend by ECOTRIC Electric Fat Tire Folding Bicycle Bike. That one is 1/2 the size and its acceleration blows my bike away and DOES go 20mph in eco mode! DO NOT BUY THIS! Maybe they meant to say the bike can 'possibly go' 25 mph, possibly if you peddle your ass off in assist mode, but what they wrote below is very misleading and they need to update how TF you can get to 30mph!The image attached is with MAX speed assist! Nowhere near 30 mph!Just to be clear, so you do not listen to their advertised "average specs in ideal conditions"...I am in excellent shape! I only weight 160 pounds, and I am surrounded by nothing but smooth flat roads here in Miami Florida. I used to win weight lifting competitions so trust me when I say 22mph is the most this thing is capable of! And again I paid a profession $200 to erect this bike, so I know it was done right. And the battery does not last 35-50 miles.I think they purposely kept the specs vague. 30mph max it writes. How? Going down a mountain? LOL.IT DOES NOT GO MORE than 22mph.Advertised specs below that are listed are false! Acceleration is TERRIBLE Battery is closer to 25 miles, NOT 35 advertised! Correspondences with Nakto are them essentially admitting they need to re-validate their claims which means they knew they were lying.Brand:NAKTOProduct􏰁CruiserSize􏰁26inchFrame:Iron frame+ Aluminum Alloy hub Motor􏰁350W Brushless Battery􏰁36V10Ah Lithium Battery Derailieur􏰁SHIMANO 6-Speed-Gears Charging time􏰁4hoursMax speed􏰁30MPHMax loading􏰁300LbsRange􏰁35-50 miles with pedal assist Brake􏰁Front and rear disck brake Front fork:Suspension fork NW/GW􏰁55Lbs/60Lbs(with battery) Packing size􏰁137*28*75CM
