Did my research & tried out many brands at nine shops. Love this bike.
Pros: fully loaded with battery level display, front & back lights, braking lights is added to the back light, fenders, lightweight, easily folds to store in small closet, I’m 68 yrs and can lift it into the trunk of my car, level assist is graduated power (unlike some ebikes where all three power levels get the same amount of power) easy to take battery out, can charge without taking the battery out, love the adjustable handle bar stem up and down for varied rider heights, also the handle bars also twist to adjust the angle the hand holds on to the brake (which I need as my fingers fall asleep on other bikes when my wrist has to bend to grab the brake, on this bike I can adjust so my wrist & fingers are in a straight line when grabbing the brake), smaller tires provide lighter overall weight of the bike, seat easily adjusts, the full suspension works great & far more comfortable than other bikes without it, seat is ok, might replace with more comfortable, throttle works great, that’s all my teen grandson uses and he loves this ebike, zips up and down hills easily.
I like how you can use the throttle to walk alongside the. bike & make the bike move with power assist. Helped when walking the bike through sand or walking a sandy hill.
It really is a quality bike, especially for the price. Very sturdy & well made. Folds easily with a little stand when folded.
Cons: It’s a fine bike in every aspect, nothing wrong with it except the brakes squeal intermittently. The key is underneath the bar of the battery and must be twisted to provide power for when you turn it on by pushing the middle button on the peer display on the handlebars. Switching between the 3 power levels is simple. Hard to find where the key goes but once you know it’s not a problem, and the key doesn’t fall out when inserted.
Preference issue: I’d like more gears to be able to peddle harder as the highest gear with peddling without power assist doesn’t allow you to go as fast as I’d like to peddle, I have to use the peddle assist & sometimes I just want the exercise of peddling instead of using the pier assist. The gears are smaller compared to the Rad mini my friend has.
Also, I’d rather have the 26” wheels to be able to go further faster peddling while peddling without the power assist (but then the bike will be heavier than the 20”so it’s a trade off & I’d have trouble lifting it so I’d choose the smaller wheels since you can still get up to a good speed with the power assist with the 20” w I like how you can use the throttle to walk alongside the. bike & make the bike move with power assist. Helped when walking the bike through sand or walking a sandy hill. heels)
Also, I’d prefer the 450 power battery instead instead of the 350.
Ride with a friend wh has The rad mini and when the rad mini is on power assist of level 1, it’s the same speed as my Vivi on power assist level 3 since her Rad Mini has the larger 36” wheels and 450 W battery or it might be the size of the motor in the wheel hub, but the rad Mini has a lot more power to go further faster but then the Rad Mini is too heavy for me to lift, & my Vivi gets up to a fast enough speed that I would need or want.
