TotGuard Electric Bike, Electric Bike for Adults, 26" Ebike 700W Peak Motor, 20MPH Electric Mountain Bike with 374.4WH Removable Battery, Up to 50 Miles,Front Suspension Fork,SGS Certified to UL 2849

I'm a 5'10 220ilbs man that has been using this bike primarily to commute to work. I wanted something hardy because the routes I take are filled with pot holes (~1-3" deep) and this thing has to withstanded the streets. I've had it for several months now and the battery is still as good as new. My commute is 18-24mi roundtrip (depending on the route). I charge at work and that usually takes 2-3hrs and use up maybe 20% of the battery. My routes have steep inclines and with the pedal assist I can manage to bike around 12-15mph. The max speed seems to be around ~19mph using street radar signs, and google maps (on flat). On hills I've managed to get it to go up 39mph (but again my hills are steep). I've installed a bike rack on it as well to carry works stuff and it it fit nicely (although not all racks fit it you have to find ones that have long screws). I've biked with it over 550mi and no major issues. I did have to replace the rear bike tube at 500mi. It didn't have a puncture but it looked like the seems of the tube were just "loose" and air was escaping. Tire change was ok. a little bit more involved with the motor but still DIY. I changed the brakes at 450mi and lube/clean the chain every 100mi. My partner liked the bike too and was trying to get one after riding it. Shes 5' and the seat is able to go all the way down to accommodate her. She ended up getting a different bike because of a styling preference but that also made me realize that this bike is "light weight" in comparison to the other ebikes she ended trying out and settling with. The bike is great and I'll comment again after 1000mi. My only complaint is that you have to start biking at a low gear or the chain will pop out. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Over 1k mi. tires are balding (normal wear and tear). lubing the chain every 150mi and no issues. feels like the same bike I started off with. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- close too 2800mi/~1.5yrs. I've changed the tires once more (balding), right crank was starting to come loose, and ~12 spokes from the rear tire along with the rear cassette (that one was around 1500mi). Bike is still running pretty well. Noticing that the battery is starting to drain a little more than before (maybe 10-20%) and it feels like the motor isn't as strong as when it was new. The rear wheel with motor has a weird nut locking the motor onto the wheel. I can't find the tool to access the motor to perform any maintenance on it (clean and regrease the motor). The bike shop that fixed my spokes didn't have one either and had to make the tool, to replace the cassette. The spokes were also custom made as well. Still love the bike just wished they made the motor more accessible for maintenance. Will update again when the e-motor dies.

I love this bike so much, it takes me where I want to go, I am a small woman, and it is exactly the right size, however, it can also be used by people larger than I am, in other words, full sized adults. The battery lasts for a really long time, so far it’s been very sturdy and reliable. I actually saw a young girl riding one last year when I was camping, and I asked her about it. I live in the mountains, so whenever I ride bikes, I get to ride back up hill, and it’s tough. I still try to ride it like a regular bike as much as possible, but being able to punch that assist button makes all the difference. Not to mention the price makes it affordable for all.

This bike is pretty well made and really a good value for the price, It has a headlight, A horn, A throttle and a nicely backlit LED speedometer that unfortunately only goes up to 19.8 MPH regardless of how fast you are actually going. It has 3 pedal assist modes and a 350W motor that does pretty well to get my 240 pound ass up to 19.8 MPH. That being said I found it necessary to make some upgrades that all totaled around $130 The first upgrade was the seat and seat post, This bike like most inexpensive e-bikes come with a cheap, narrow (uncomfortable for most) seat with a solid post, I purchased a cloud 9 seat with a spring assisted post and WOW! what a difference that made...Next was a Smart tail light with a rechargeable battery that actually has a brake light feature that senses when you are stopping and goes really bright red, Then I installed fenders to keep the water from splashing all over me and last but not least an adjustable handlebar stem. This 0-60 Degree Bicycle Stem Handlebar Riser Extender made the biggest difference for me. Totguard comes with a straight horizontal handlebar stem...This adjustable stem makes the bike much more comfortable and controllable for me. So far I am very pleased with the quality of this bike and the customer support has been very good responding to my emails. The upgrades I have made are just my personal opinion. Update...So far despite all the upgrades I felt needed to be done to the Totguard bike am still overall very pleased with it and havent had any major issues. That being said if I had it to do all over again today, I think I would have chosen the entry level Jasion EB5 over this Totguard bike and let me tell you why. The Jasion EB5 is basically in the same price range and offers much more. #1 The EB5 has the adjustable handlebar for taller people (over 5'10") that might have a bad back and want to ride in a more upright position. The Totguard handlebar is stationary and in a very low position. #2 The EB5 has an easier to remove battery. #3 The EB5 and EB7 has a much larger COLOR LED display which shows you your actual speed...The Totguard peggs out at 19.8 MPH ...I think these bikes motors aren't supposed to go over 20MPH and neither does but The Jasion bike will actually display your true speed when you pedal assist. #4 the Jasion EB5 and EB7 has 5 motor assist speeds rather than the 3 of the Totguard #5 The Jasion EB5 and EB7 motor assist engages immediately (within 1-2 seconds) ...My Totguard takes as long as 4 seconds of pedaling for its motor to engage and once it does I can sometimes hear a strange vibrating sound when it first starts up. These are simply my observations.

Great customer service. A wire was not connected when received so the bike wouldn't start. They walked through step by step. Great affordable bike

Came with flat tires, so I pumped them up and rode it for a month before tires went flat again. Pumped air into the flats andby end of week tires are flat. Changed the tubes in the tires and next day I have a flat tire. Took about break dealing with it and it sat too long in the cold while so now it won't charge. Trash Don't waste your time buying
