I'll start by telling you that we bought two bikes because at 50 years old, we are both overweight, out of shape, and we're looking for an exercise that we could do outdoors that would be enjoyable. These Aostirmotor bikes are FABULOUS. Out of the box they need very little assembly and even somebody with minimal mechanical skill can complete the setup. The only alteration we made to the bikes was to get a slightly wider more padded seat. We've had the bikes 2 weeks and have road a little over 200 miles on them! The bike allows you to pedal completely on assisted like it were just a plain old mountain bike, or with five different levels of assist to make pedaling easier. We haven't needed to use more than level one assist which is minimal, what level one assist does for you is gives you about 50% more distance for your pedaling. This is perfect for us. My husband is 6 ft tall 220lbs . I am 5'7 250lbs. He is able to get on and off the bike with no problem, since I'm a little bit shorter and the bike is a little taller I have to lean it over to it side a little further to get on and off. If you are shorter you may want to look into getting a step through version. We absolutely love our bikes. Smooth ride, We typically do 12 to 15 mi a day and the battery has never gone below four bars using level one pedal assist. I feel like the fat tires give us a little more stability and help with cushioning on bumpy roads. Note: We have not really gone on any rough terrain most of the trails and roads we have been on were paved or cleared. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THESE BIKES! They are a real game changer for us. After 2:00 pandemic years of sedentary lifestyle- We are getting out together, getting exercise, and losing wt. It's a trifecta!
This is an awesome ebike, easy assembly, and fun to ride, and it gets me off the couch..
