X-Treme Scooters Men's Lithium Electric Powered Mountain Bike Review

X-Treme Scooters Men's Lithium Electric Powered Mountain BikeI purchased this item less than a month ago but I must say that I'm happy with this purchase.

I purchased it directly from amazon so I was not charged for shipping (supposedly lol), and ended up paying around 1,099 for the whole thing. Granted, this bike is pricey but I did a lot of research before deciding on this particular brand/model. Plus believe me there are other options out there way more expensive than this, so I tried to balance functionality, quality and price. Another important aspect for me was the looks of it, there were cheaper options but looked fugly and didn't have any brand names behind them. Enough of that, now about the bike itself:

It required little assembly when I got it, it came with the tools and everything. It didnt come with assembly instructions which really sucked but I managed to put it together (plus it came almost fully assembled, just had to attach a few parts here and there).

I have to say that I'm not very savvy when it comes to bicycles and its technical aspects, but I did enough research to know that the shimano shift/gears system was decent. The build of the whole frame feels strong enough (I weight around 215 pounds but it supports up to 350!). The height is perfect for me (Im around 5'8 and I like to just barely be able to touch the ground when still seated, its not the official recommendation but just what I feel comfortable with because of frequent stops etc; plus you can adjust the height so thats not an issue). The frame is big enough so that I dont feel too big for this bike.

One of the most important things for me was to be able to ride it using only the battery power, and it works like a charm. You can do electric only, and/or you can pedal w/ the electric assistance (makes u go faster). Obviously this is the main feature of this bike and it just works. The battery is removable and comes with an adapter and cable for charging. When it is on the unit you can lock it with a key. The on/off switch is on top of the battery and you can reach it from a seated position. The accelerator is on the right handle bar (and lights switch is on the right side as well). It has a battery meter on the left handle bar and a ringer bell. The battery also has a meter where u can press a button to see how much charge it has.

I have not tested the unit really really thoroughly yet but so far I'm impressed with the battery life and the performance of it.

The looks of the bicycle are just great, some people don't even know its electric. This bike looks better in person than what the pictures show (I got the black model). For the record I have the men's version (since the womens version has different specs - frame is different etc).

I will (hopefully) update this review later on (prob pics too), but for now I just have to say that I'm happy with this purchase.
