Do you know if they are made in the netherlands or China (like most of them)?

I like it, all the components look like pretty good quality for the price.🤌

The auto shifting sounds like it needs better programming, especially downshifting.
I’m not sold on electronic shifting. At least this system is powered from the main battery so you don’t need to keep another battery charged. My preference is for a twist shifter, though it’s quite rare today.
I thought the gearing would present a challenge at speeds above 16mph. That’s fine for relaxed cruising, but not suitable for commuting if you have to ride with car and truck traffic. Perhaps Blix will address the ratios in a future revision.
Otherwise, the specs are pretty nice. It’s lighter than most folding ebikes, has a good lighting package, uses a torque sensor, a stronger bottom bracket than most (but makes it a tad harder to find cranks of different lengths). But it doesn’t suit what I’m looking for closely enough, especially at the price.
After owning an e bike for a month and putting about 400 Miles on it, in my opinion the gear shifter doesn’t really matter that much. I stay in the highest gear 95% of the time unless I’m climbing a hill and then I may go down to 5 or 6 out of 7. I just give a touch of throttle at a stop to get going and just keep it in the highest gear. The final gear ratio is more important and luckily my bike is comfortable to keep at high speeds for a good while. The only time I think the other gears would be necessary is if the battery was dead.

Is that a back up shift cable mounted to the derailer

Just not worth the price. So many other options for less. Always amazed that companies are repeating whats already been done but add stuff like "calories burned" on the screen as a selling point.

Excellent review. Very useful Thank you.

Hey there new to you channel I started with you video about the RadCity 5 plus you posted 2 years ago. So I just got my RadCity 5 Plus from a Pawnshop with only 25 Miles on it for $600. So in that video you mentioned something about an APP and a USB charger. Do you have any more info on those items. Im totally new to ebikes.
Ответить
Where is made?
ОтветитьHey there newly sub's to your channel you mentioned in another video about an app you use ...What was that app ??
Ответить
Looking for a possible replacement for my 8 year old folding e-bike. Good to see narrow wheel folders and tighter folding are still being made. Brompton folders are the high end and a little too pricey for me.
Ответить
But why does the battery pack have high quality cells with a low-quality BMS that likes to blow up? Maybe the low-quality charger? 🥸🥸🥸
