I live in the mountains of Oregon...I bought a second Ecotric....these things are as tough as nails...I took a picture of the newest one next to my RV...I'm so very happy with these investments...see you in the mountains of Oregon !!
For the price ($429), it's a excellent bike - no defects, easy to assemble (once you get it out of the box), works well, plenty of power even on moderate hills. As an older person, I appreciate the true step through frame so it's easy to get on and off the bike. As a weakling, I like that it's fairly light for an ebike. As with any low priced bike, there are some compromises - there not a bike computer display - just a display with a few LEDs (that you can't see in bright sun) that show pedal assist mode and battery status. The seat is narrow and not super comfortable (I quickly replaced it with a better seat). There's only a rear disk brake and a front caliper brake (more expensive bikes have two disk brakes). The thumb operated gear shift is awkward and imprecise (you often shift two gears instead of one or end up between gears with a chattering noise). I've only done a couple short rides, so it's difficult to judge durability and battery life, but things are looking good.
Ecotric bike is very nice Foldable and I love it.
I won’t lie I was worried when I placed an order and then needed to make a change to the shipping address after. I couldn’t get through on any of the phone numbers listed. I messaged and they got back to me in a very short time and got us all fixed up. Battery works great. Thank you ecotric!9
Excellent item, fast shipping! Thanks!
