Which Electric Bike would you rate as better, The Extreme, or the Jetson Electric Bike? I'm torn between which of the two would be better, thank you,

For more than five years, I have used Xtreme ebike 504. I wanted to purchase another e504 but the supplier instead gave me e502, an upgrade according to them. Comparing the two, e504 and e502, I would prefer 504. As to the Jetson, I am sorry, I can not say anything about it.

I rode something very similar to Jetson once and it was hands down the best electric bike I have ever ridden. It was lighter, faster in acceleration, and more maneuverable than and other electric bike I have been on before or since. Unfortunately it was a only demo from China, brought in by our company president or I would have bought it. Believe me, I sure tried!

Don't know the Jetson, but the x treme (Long gone now) proved to be a real bummer! Get your legs ready to pump it!

But if your thinking about this bike I would get a tern instead. I had this bike and although it was a very good bike it just didn't feel nearly as solid as when I test rode a tern link d8. Tern is the company founded by the son of the founder of Dahon. His bikes cost a bit more but are well worth it. Dahons aren't as solid feeling as terns. If this doesn't bother you than go with the Dahon. I've tried both though. Good luck

Lower temps and a Esc and motor that can handle up to 6S power. If you run both these systems on 3S the velineon might go a bit faster but 3S is all the VXL can handle. As soon as you put this thing on 4S+ it hauls ass and is the fastest 8th scale motor you can buy. No other motor on the market that I know can go as fast as this thing and it has a bucket loads of TORQUE! Basically the lower the KV the more torque and the higher the KV the more top speed. The reason why this so fast is because there's no other 8th scale motor with as high of a KV as this one that can handle 6S power that I know of. If that makes sense?

THis may not be a straight answer and I appologise. But let me tell you, Brushless is the ONLY way to go. I would assume the difference is 10+ mph. If looking for a slower one, You may want to go brushed. Gas is a headache and always jacks itself up. Brushless delivers speed, torque, reliablity. Maybe others have better advice. Albeit I am sure most would agree that brushless is by far the most fun. Good luck on your search. Feel free to ask more questions. Is the price your only issue?

Not sure what you are referring to regarding top speed. This is not an electric bike. The top speed is as fast as you can pedal. The 6 speed refers to the available gears.

Hi There - We've tried them all and this one is an amazing design. Hands down the most forgiving scooter for balance and coordination. Have fun...

Love my mcx2 its not twichy at all but I built it from parts and it is brushless and a real hot rod. Higher head speed = way more stable.

Well I had to return my Urban 7XL scooter as it wasn't durable at all. In fact it collapsed quite dangerously when I hit a bump in the sidewalk. I don't recommend it at all. Razor appears more durable, but to be honest I went with NYCE Wheels as a replacement. Not an Amazon item, I purchased it from their website. It's been great, but I did like the shocks on the Urban. I believe the Zooters have them as well, although that's a whole other price point & some reviews pointed out problems with them as well.

We have acquired 2 each 26" Schwinn Meridian bikes and outfitted them with electric drive mechanisms. They are an excellent bike and we get just over 30 Miles on the one unit - no pedaling; and we get even greater distances on the second generation build. For this range we use a seat with a back support - if ranges are considerable less - like our second bike gets between 50 and 60 miles per charge but it is only used in small spurts like 10 to 12 miles. That one we have not yet put on the back supported seat. They also pedal great if you desire - but @ 16 to 19 MPH I cannot turnthe pedals that fast - so I just cruise and enjoy.

Thanks Todd for the info. We are actually getting a refund from them as well. We were going to go out and buy the extreme bike with the refund but now I think we will just save our money. Thanks for sharing your experience! You have been very helpful and probably saving us a lot of time and hassel! You are right about one thing though They do have great customer service.Melissa

Sorry, I didn't post my entire results. I ended up replacing the DC motor for the bike twice. The second time was a charm. I now have two good control panels. I would recommend requesting the DC motor. It is not easy to replace, and there are no instructions included with it. I spent a bit of time fiddling with it to make the resistance appropriate.

Hi Brian, I've had my scooter/bike for a year and use a full head bicycle helmet. But it can't hurt to get a skull type motorcycle helmet. I JUST LOVE MY JETSON !!!

Hi Nancy,I talked with our technical team concerning your question. We need to know which model of Ezip bike you purchased. Can you please tell me which Ezip bike you have? We sincerely appreciate your interest in Madboy EV!thanks,Katherine Madboy EV Customer Service

I would recommend a higher end bike for competition. This is a good starter bike and it is great for exercise or recreation, but it is simply not on par with Shimano or Fuji. It will do in a pinch, but I is not ideal.

I have not found a repair shop that can fix the bike's electric motor or associated components. However any bike shop can fix everything else. I have had flat tires front and rear repaired. On another brand of electric bike the local shop fixed the front stem that froze up. I have had two of these bikes which I mistreat badly by riding them on salt water beaches, Sandy trails, and carrying them around in snow storms on a 4 bike rack. It is easy to brake wires while transporting them. When the electrical components break I buy parts on line at electricscooterparts.com They have a nice diagram for a controller similar to the one used on this bike. It is a brushless 250w motor. I really like the bike for its power, long life LIPo battery, finish, adjustable handlebars, and low rolling friction as compared to other bikes. Just do not expect much help from the seller. This is why the price is low.

Hi,This cycle won't stack up against the pro bike you're used to 100%. For the price, it's just not possible. BUT, with that being said, I personally haven't found a pro bike that it doesn't stack up to based on price and quality. I've had mine for a while now. Not only was set up easy (roughly 45 mins as the previous user stated) but it has been working exceptionally well since I bought it. You are most likely used to a bit more in terms of bells and whistles, but this bike cuts that out (lowering cost) while maintaining amazing quality. I would sincerely recommend this bike to anyone; it has been that great of an experience having one. Hope this helps! Hi,This cycle won't stack up against the pro bike you're used to 100%.

The 3350r velineon system that traxxas offers as a power up grade is the exact as the vxl . So if you bought a velineon system as a upgrade , you have spent more money than if you would have just bought the vxl to start with . I personally would recommend looking into castle creations brushless system instead . Its almost 100 dollars cheaper and you can get a few different power opinions. I up graded my daughters 4x4 stampede to a 3900kv and its geared for bashing . That system pushes it easily to the 45 mph on a 2s 5000mah 20c battery . The 3350 velineon system will push close to 40 mph on the same battery! I hope this helps you out !
