Have you noticed any power loss? Im reading mixed reviews that some other bikes are experiencing a drop in mid/low range.

No I have not...I did have a problem with the core, it fell out, but Gary at Coffman's fixed me up no questions asked...while the core was out performance was decreased but once the core was back in and some back pressure was restored it began performing well again. All in all very pleased both with the exhaust and with the support.

I have not noticed, but I have not put a lot of miles on the bike since I replace the stock exhaust.

At first I truthfully thought I did lose the SLIGHTEST bit of power but it's such a little amount it's not very noticeable...I drove a few times with the Coffman and put back on the stock and it didn't make much of a difference power wise...the fact it sounds great and I can be heard by cars now, is really all that matters to me. Would definitely recommend!

In our testing we did not have any power lose. If you have a open air box or engine mods done and have not remap your bike you would see a drop in power. Which would require a power commander.

Mine that I just got today definitely has a gradual start. I can get it to run as low as ~5rpm pretty easily.

I have the exact same bike and it works perfect. I am currently using a canned map and the difference is night and day. I ride everyday and keep it mounted above the speedo and tach on the top of the inner fairing. It is 9 degrees here in DC and it showed the engine temp never get above 173

did not experience this problem with this bike. Good bike, well worth the price. It is worth taking to a bike shop and have them put everything in good working order. Shop tuned up brakes, gears and tightened wheel spokes.

it is a fantastic bike with some cons..... the bike runs good and holds a good charge. The couple cons are the only button on it plays a funny song; it doesn't sound like a motorcycle. The other con is it did not hold up to my sons demeanor. What I mean by that is my son "PLAYS" with his toys, he is hard on them and it broke at the neck of the front end. I actually snapped right in two. He was riding it and trying to pop wheelies and snapped it. My son and his cousins played on it for eight months before it broke. The heaviest kid we had on it was around the 100 pound mark and it did fine that way. it is a fantastic bike with some cons..... the bike runs good and holds a good charge.

oh man, I wish I had found these posts before ordering one of these as most of the reviews are positive. It's on the way, should I just immediately send it back and eat the shipping charge? I wouldn't be surprised that these are on sale now as Schwinn prob has fixed models out now. I am assuming that if I keep this bike it will crap out shortly. If I do keep it, should I immediately call for the new motor and then the control panel before even using it? Will the original motor work with the new panel? uggggh. not looking forward to this. Any chance we can convince you to put up a website with pics of the fixes?? ; ) oh man, I wish I had found these posts before ordering one of these as most of the reviews are positive.

The bike itself works fine but the computer malfunctions frequently. For example, I will be riding and all of the sudden, it will say I am going zero mph at level zero. The resistance doesn't change, just the display doesn't work. If stats are important to you, I would discuss with sole before purchase.

I have and it's bugging me. Took the thing apart to check the cables, etc. Everything seems fine. I've been trying to find out about the magnet that belongs on the flywheel. I can't find any? Wondering if it dislodged when it was moved and now the sensor does not register that the wheel is in motion so the bike computer idles out?

I have had the bike for about five years and put thousands of miles on it. I have had no problem with the display going off when peddling. The problems I had were getting the heart monitor hooked up correctly. The instructions were wrong and the fan is useless. I resolved this problem by getting a portable fan. This was an amazingly good deal. I have not seen it listed for sale for many years. This does not mean I am unsympathetic to Tanya's complaint, but I do not know how to fix it. Jeff

like the bike a lot, should be OK for you, but I agree will not get you up a hill...you need more power...

Its really good. I ride pretty often and I never make it past a 4 on The Marcy Bike. I use 2 for the warmup / cool down. I belive it gets up to 9 on the settings... maybe one day I will get higher!

I made the purchase as a gift for my daughter. She loves it and says you change the gears on your bike for resistance change. Perhaps there's a problem with your bike? Or you could ride for a longer time to burn more calories? Perhaps a more expensive model would have the features you want?

I have found this bike to be a great machine with 2 exceptions one I had to make a rear rack for both battery protection and to have a rear mounted carrier situation , next problem was with the rear tire so I upgraded ie bought a heavy duty tire and tube, since then no problem have done 50 miles on a charge with a fair amount of peddling and conservation of power

Mine has a control like a motorcycle,for power. When you pedal it is on assist,if you don't pedal there is no assist, but you can control the power with the handle bar throttle like a motorcycle! When you pedal I don't believe it is full power, more like 3/4 power. Their is one thing I would like to say about the X-treme bike. They don't cover the warrenty, if you have a problem you are on your own, believe me there are better e-bikes out their. I recomend buying from a dealer, for your own protection.

It does not hit as hard as my velodyne 12'' with less wattage, I think the wattage on this one is a peak, I think it's more like 100 watts or something, I would spend some more money and get a name brand. If I could send back I would. brian

I recall inadvertently reading I could damage the transmission in my older Honda Magna 700cc if I ran without the motor on. It was liquid cooled , maybe that had something to do with it. GL

I'm running the stock receiver in my team associated SC10 with no issues. I'm also running a 87t spur gear with a 16t pinion gear. I suggest using a 2s lipo. Anything bigger and the truck gets out of control. I still am hitting over 50km. Perfect for dirt track racing. I hope that this helps. CHEERS!!!
