Deals for Days. Big home savings are happening now.
I can’t believe I forgot to mention the motor! It’s a 750 W rear hub motor. A little slow to accelerate and loses about half the speed going up steep hills. Makes me wish the pedals are more functional.
This wouldn't last one minute where I live even if it could electrocute a thief.
does it have a portable charger
can you take the charger of the bike every where with you
These sort of products are what's going to get ebikes more heavily regulated and ruin the fun for people with more typical ebikes you can pedal…
Thank you for your honest review, as others also mention. Pedals and also baskets for my supermarket shopping when my senior car does not work is precisely what this senior citizen needs right now. Why do they keep forgetting about our needs? We do not want ALL that speed either. We need the pedals, the baskets, the 2 batteries (one to go and then to come back) and the brakes for hilly, by-passes roads.Thank you again, young man.
Can teens ride this

I commend you on the frankness and clarity of your assessment.
The regulations on scooters and mopeds are the main reason people don't use this type of transportation. Who has the time to be harassed by police.
This should have been mid-drive, no pedals, top out at 35mph and come with a title. The cheapest reputable scooter is the Honda Navi at $1800. I'd rather have an electric one for less maintenance but it isn't worth the legal gray areas. Get the Honda.
Love it. Wish I could afford one
Top speed?
$2200??! I think I paid just a little more than that (after a hefty $1k rebate) for a Honda Elite 110cc. The Elite gets over 100mpg, has a huge storage area under the seat, rides 2 easily and reaches 55mph. I just can’t see a 20mph e-bike costing about the same. $1000 seems to me to a more realistic price for an electric “get around town” vehicle like the c80.
“Smart security features” ah yes a alarm that sounds like a kids toy will for sure detour thieves as opposed to the loud car alarm they have on cheap Chinese e mopeds
I don't see much advantage of this over most of the cheaper escooters with seats such as the E22. It only has slightly slower top speed (half the range but it's enough for most people) with extended battery, but it's much smaller (where you can store it indoor and take into some buildings) and much cheaper and doesn't look like a motorcycle where people get so confused.
Good for rental companies
it'd be cool if the security features have their own little battery pack that gets recharged from the main battery, kinda like a powerbank
unsafe garbage that is too big for the sidewalk or bikelane and too slow for a local road.
I want one but i dont have a private garage (ب_ب)
Loose your phone, all your smart features won't mean squat.
I would want to see Segway's top brass ride this before I got on it.
I am in Tamilnadu (India)
Where I bought this
What is the price
Here in Florida you don’t need insurance for any motorcycle.
Thank you, I find this very helpful!
I have an e-bike and use a small Burley Travoy trailer to haul groceries home from the store.
Do not see why one could not use one with this bike as well.
The bike has a back rack. You can fit a bag on there. Or even a scooter trunk. People need to stop being so limited "segway" doesn't make any accessories so none exist. Worng you just have to dig. You will also save a TON of money
I love that its a thing… but they tring to hard to jump into loophole culture 😕 they need to improve the x260/x160. Maybe build a actual e scooter 🤔
2200 for a ebike you will have issues with cops with as its top speed is 20mph and you will wanna ride it on the sidewalk sometimes…too heavy to take upstairs…
Range is good sure but…for this price you can get 2 electric folding bikes and either go with a friend or keep a battery on you in a backpack while riding one to double your range.
Great review! So no motorcycle license needed in Cali? Just wanna doublecheck
