Racer Electric Bike for Adults - 21-Speed Mountain Lightweight Ebike with Peak 750W 22MPH Brushless Motor, 375Wh Removable Battery, 26X2.1 Tire Step Over E-MTB, Up to 40 Miles

I had owned this Qlife bike (my first eBike) for three days, and have only ridden it the first of the three days, but so far I am very impressed. The bike seems to be solidly constructed and seems very well and thoughtfully designed. The first day I owned this bike my wife and I took turns riding and logged six miles on relatively flat asphalt pavement while using throttle-only mode. On my first trip around the 1/2 mile loop I hit 21 mph (subsequent trips seemed to top out at 20.3 mph) carrying my 183-lbs.. My wife rode at a more sensible 13.2 mph. Together, our six miles of riding depleted about 1/4 of the battery (stopping and starting depletes the battery faster per the instruction manual). Twice I reached out to the seller with questions and he replied very timely (within 24 hours). The ride is very comfortable (with the front suspension locked in my case with tire pressure set at 49.5 psi. The manual recommends 40-65 psi). Assembly is relatively simple, straightforward and intuitive. Various pros and cons: the instruction manual appears that it could benefit with updating. It references a link to a You-Tube assembly video. Following the link leads to a page with no content. I Googled "Qlife bike assembly" and found the helpful video. The manual references turning the right (blue) front fork switch to lock out suspension travel (useful on road when pedaling). Mine was too tight and I could not move it. There is a switch on the left-side of the fork which the manual does not address. I moved the switch which seemed to allow me to lock out the suspension with the right switch. (picture attached). Some reviewers mentioned difficulty installing the front wheel/tire. I too had difficulty. In my case, the problem was that the front brake caliper was tightened shut and so could not be fitted on the front brake disk. Again, the manual does not address this, but there is a silver hex-head screw on the back (wheel side) of the brake caliper. I loosened this to allow the brake pads to separate so that the caliper would fit over the brake disk. I then re-tightened the screw just enough so that there was minimal brake rubbing as I turned the front wheel by hand. (picture attached). The only unresolved issue that I have is that I have been unable to properly select a gear that does not result in constant slippage. I will need to Google to determine where the 21-speed Shimano gear system can be adjusted to prevent slippage. In conclusion I am extremely happy, so far, with this purchase. Initially, this seems to be a great value. I hope to be able to purchase an additional battery to extend the range. But, battery compatibility and cost are unknowns at this point. I like the bike so much that I ordered a second (for my wife). If interested ( if you are shopping for a bike rack for your vehicle) the unscientifically-measured ( I stood on a bathroom floor-scale while holding the bike) weight of the bike ( including battery) is 51-lbs. The battery weight alone is 4.2-lbs.

With this being my first E bike and knowing nothing about them, I didn't have high expectations.But suffice to say this is an amazing machine. It is easy to use, easy to ride, great for a first time rider. The springs make for a comfortable ride. But my favorite thing is the motor, it is fast, quiet and smooth. The motor barely uses any battery life.I would and have been recommending this bike to everyone.

Pros: easy assembly, packed well, good acceleration, reasonable battery life, comfortable ride.Cons: 2 day charge of daily riding. Batter mount is plastic, maybe less durable. Headlight is not that bright and provides poor visibility at night. Suspension is somewhat harsh. Tires lack good traction.I use this as a daily commuter to & from work averaing 8 miles a day in an urban environment. I also use for recreational riding as well. The pedal assist takes some acclimating as it takes off rather quickly. Ride is fine although harsher than my dual Suspension bike. Tires have very poor traction on wet surfaces, gravel and trails. Brakes work well and provide good stopping power. Overall, I'm pretty satisfied with the bike and hope the durability exceeds my expectations.

The media could not be loaded. I bought the Qlife Racer to commute to work. So far it's working well. I added a rear cargo rack. Assembly took a few hours. I had the bike assembled in less than an hour but adjusting the disc brakes was tricky. I watched a few videos on YouTube to figure it out. All the tools needed to assemble are included. Before I started to put the bike together I plugged in the battery to charge.The first charge took about 3 hours and since then a full charge takes about 5 hours. There is a little switch on the battery that needs to be on to turn on power. Then press the little circle button on control panel on handlebars.There a 5 speed modes. Press the + (plus) symbol to increase the number.When the bike is turned on its a zero so you need to hit the plus button to get the bike to work.To turn on the front light press and hold the + button.I've been pretty much using throttle only.The top speed for me is around 20 miles per hour in the highest mode of 5. I mostly ride in mode 3 or 5. Top speed in mode 3 is 16 miles per hour.My trip to work is 10 miles round trip and using throttle only I still have a little power left when I get home.The battery loses power faster if at the fastest setting so I try to keep it at 3.In setting 2 it goes 13 miles per hour and I'll set it at 2 if I only have one bar left on the battery.There are 5 bars on battery indicating how much power is left.I would probably pedal more but this bike is a small size frame and it's difficult to use like a regular bike. The chart says this bike fits riders up to 6'3" tall but if you are 6'3" tall this bike would be difficult to ride. It would be easier to ride if the seat post was longer and the handlebars were riser type, taller or higher handlebars. The handlebars on the bike now are pretty low.I may modify it with taller handlebars but the wiring connected to handlebars doesn't have much extra length on wires.For now the bike is OK because I'm just using throttle and I'm not really using the pedals.I changed the inner tubes to anti flat/slime brand inner tubes.The wheels are difficult to take on and off because when I do I have to adjust the disc brakes again so it's easier to put in better inner tubes for less chances of flats.The inner tube size on the Qlife racer I got is 26" X 2.1".Slime brand has inner tubes available on Amazon that fit.For the rear cargo rack I ordered one that clamps on to the seat post and also clamps on to bike frame because there are no pre drilled holes near base of seat post.This bike arrived several days early which was great. It was supposed to take a week to arrive and I got it in 4 days.When I show this bike to people they can't believe it only cost $400.All in all its a great little bike and on throttle only with no pedaling it's fun to ride.
