Project suggestion: make your own custom auxilliary battery to fill the space inside the frame. See if you can triple / quadruple the maximum range of the bike. Then go on an all-day road trip.

I've got a Bezior x1000 last summer. Very fun bike, and with some fiddling with the menu options on the controller a very fast bike too. Not exactly street legal fast, but the bike is not really for the street anyway. Some issues I've encountered so far: - Aluminium bushings (not a great material to reduce friction) in the rear suspension and bearings in the crankshaft get very creaky. - Chain link didn't want to bend, causing the chain to jump over the teeth of the rear main gears, luckily had just enough battery left to limp home and prevent damage to the gear. - Cables getting pinched between the rear suspension linkage and the frame, causing them to wear out quite quickly. Discovered this today, not great for hydraulic brake. - Brakes not up to downhill riding. I only weigh 60kg, but the braking fluid boiled after just a little bit of downhill in snow. - Steering geometry is weird, especially in combination with a fat tire. It's stable enough to ride hands free, but when you do tighter corners it suddenly wants to oversteer with force at about 35-40 degrees. - Gears inside the hub motor make a LOT more noise after 1300 km. - Front fork is pretty bendy under braking and when going over bumps. I knew what I was getting into for the price, and all these things are fixable. Without it I wouldn't have any forest near enough to have any energy left for the off-road bit or ride home. It also puts a smile on a lot of amazed kids wherever you go, which is a nice bonus.

Good video Andy, the bike style seems to be geared to the younger generation, and we called those seats way back when "peddle bikes" banana seats. Not sure they were a fad in the UK.

I think the best type of frame to use for e bikes of over 24mph are the ones with Dual Shocks. I have 2 bikes of 1 with front shocks only and other 1 are dual shocks of front forks and under seat at middle bottom of frame. Yes, the dual shock rides much better if not just perfect when riding fast on rough conditions of road like little bumps, dips, pot holes, wide cracks, ect. The E bike with 1 shock of front forks rides a bit rough after initial contact of front forks. Extremely different and I realized using dual shocks is best when using e bikes of a faster speed of 24plusmph. Nothing wrong with 1 shock frames but with faster e bikes the dual shocks seems perfect..

Hi dude, Your content is increasingly similar to what interests me as time goes on. I'm a Ammeter Radio junky and recently built an E-Bike (lost my licence for 6months). Almost went for one of your hub motor kits but after a bit of contemplating and watching many KZitem videos, yours included, I ended up with the BBSHD 52v..............I "cycle" a 40mile round trip across the South Downs with the beast. Next project will be to build a larger AH battery pack or a second pack in a rucksack connected in parallel, I'm just on the limit with range (get around 25miles from 21AH). Anyway Andy, all the best to you and thanks for the varied content. Come back to radio soon, maybe bicycle mobile 😉.

Obviously I would charge it up fully before I left, I wouldn't want it sat on a trickle charger whilst I was away. I know they sit in storage before they are sold, But would this affect the batteries life / Performance over time? Thanks In Advance .

Just got mine, usb port does not work for charging, shocks are wobbly, disks are crap and don't really have much stopping power Pedaling without the battery is hard, I don't get why there's so much resistance, feels like reverse charging (easy 30mph) with battery though. Pedal assist is glitchy, sometimes it thinks you're pedaling when you're not, throttle is either 0 or 100% Front light shakes like hell This is a road cruiser, any bumps or speed bumps aren't handled well at all Lastly, handlebars are not a good shape, I changed mine to standard mbt ones (moutain biking style) handles better with wider bars. Overall, it has potential, its a good frame, good motor, I think a front hub motor and secondary battery would be fun, adding a seat with springs would dampen any bumps.

I'll admit it's different it's a kind of bike you can do it up give it a bit more style the seat looks comfortable. But no it's not my kind of bike. It's good to see you get in to bikes again waiting for next bike hope it better than that one. Is the backgrond music yours if so it's ideal for your videos

Bought it after this review. I have to say the bike feels really unstable, handlebars are just too lightweight. I believe it's mostly because of the steering angle, it is almost 90 degrees from the body. Another problem is power delivery, it jumps at the start and feels really wobbly and uncontrollable. Saddle is also quite firm, so the rider feels every bump on the road. The icing on the cake is the headlight which blinds everybody on the road and (sic!) impossible to adjust its angle. Overall very poor quality bike, dunno what to like about it.

That bench seat would be a real kidney puncher at 40 kmh. The range on the XF200 is good, but nothing close to the 100 km they advertise. I imagine the range of the XF001 is also greatly exaggerated with the 12.5 Ah battery it comes with.
