Ultra Motors A2B Electric Bicycle Test Drive

[SyndicalistTimes]

'speaking of slippery, the tyres stuck to the road pretty well'

that don't make no sense yo

[sushisun5]

the music is sooo iritating

[spike378]

anyone know how to open the battery? I removed all the screw but it wont open. Pretty sure there is clip inside but dont know exact location. Any help will be good.

[ELLADOGZ]

MUSIC CHOICE..NOT SO MUCH.



[Fizzokizzo]

do you need to be 18 to ride it ?

[rayleeaustralia]

Way overpriced at the moment. Under $1,000 seems about right

[seanwood1000]

pointless review, look the weels go round and round and turn off the music

[qaddds74]

how much that run you at cost

[TheScooterpimp]

Look Mom!!! Im a Tool!!!

[regisiam]

looks hot ,but overpriced.

Where is the saving when you pay 3000$ cash and you have to change the battery after each 500 recharges. The battery cost is 700$. The minimum cost will be 3000$ and 700$ / year. The bike also is a great prey for theft because only the wheel cost around 500. At 1000$ + lithium phosphate batteries (last longer) = Ultra motor become Microsoft of motors. If the price stays high other brands will take the market share for sure.i stick to my scooter for now lol

[sparkmedia1]

That was terrible. The video was aweful, the music annoying and I can't hear a word you are saying. The running footage looks like bad Blair Witch outakes. On top of that, your facts are wrong. I have owned this bike for almost a year and can say that you have had no more than a day's experience with it.

[geargemartin]

i own one. most of my experiences have been favorable. but if you buy one, replace the standard tires with 16" moped tires (16" moped tires fit on a 20" bicycle rim) the standard kenda kraze tires are weak, punter prone and the moped tires handle 100% better.

[ShuttleSpaceCA]

Good report!

[kwj99]

I bet the battery cost as much or half as much as the bike

[TheWizard310]

How do you change the battery?

[kuiintin]

hi ive got some question !?

how Long Hold's Batery !?

How To Recharg it !?

if you crash this bike with something would be destroyet

it is expensive to buy !?

Thats all thnx :P

[regisiam]

@kuiintin The battery holds until the charge is over (empty)

To recharge it you need some knowledge of how to plug the adapter.

When you crash the bike nothing happens in the worst case scenario the black box can always be recovered. The best part is that this bike saves you money because it cost only 3000$ its less expansive than a brand new car or a brand new small plane. i hope i answered your questions . Thanks

[soklung]

what about moisture getting into the starter switch and what would happen to the baterries if you got caught in the rain?

[jpmorgan187]

The real question is: How long will the batteries last? How many cycles? I have yet to find a review on that.

[DrumBass1000]

Can somebody please tell me from who yhe music is in this film, its very cool.

[Buttmunch5000]

way to expensive for that bike, the price will drop though, which is good and when it does it will take off, but for the moment it will be niche

[ratheads]

If you swung your leg over the bike like a man, the key issue goes away !

[RRED2]

Just a thought NEXT time you make vid do it without

that awful music I could hardly hear you taking.

[VINTAGEO1]

j'ai essayé le Metro A2B d'Ultra Motor. Avantage premier son look qui interpelle par la discrétion des batteries.

[GiNsApple]

What is the Helmet that you are using in the video?

[islandbee]

This bike is great for places with lots of hills like SF and Seattle. Not to rob anyone of their exercise, but when you yourself are out of gas and can barely pedal, then this helps alot. I rode this around in the Fremont neighborhood of Seattle, and had lots of fun. I didn''t want to turn this back to the scooter shop. The fact that you can ride along with all the other bikers on the bike trails with this bike is great. @ 2700 this quite the investment, but well worth it.

[Alexamovich11]

This is not a good design, the best is a cruiser type design for a proper design.

[bellaggio1770]

...Said who? And based on what facts / thoughts?

No I don't think a cruiser frame would be better, think about it, women have to get on and off too, and not all are 15 years old.

[atwistoflemming]

I found the music horrible and terribly irritating. I'm afraidit spoilt the video

[friik100]

Yes I'ts Horrible.

[daedalx]

I found the music to be exciting and dramatic and the bike a bit of a bore.

[aaron71]

Does pedaling or coasting charge the battery?

[upcycle]

The tires are too fat too fit into the slots of the Sport Work bicycle racks on public transit buses. Thus I have designed a bike tire shoe that can be securely strapped onto each tire. This shoe will fit into slot and provide the stable foundation to secure the bike on the rack.

[waddleduckie1]

My prediction, is that motorized bicycles won't catch on. Due to the risk of pollution from the battery provided and that people will not be tempted to switch to something that would be very unhealthy. Conventional bicycles are here to stay.

[bellaggio1770]

Again, said who? I heard that lie / fairytale a few times already. Fact is, 90% of a lithium ion battery is recyclable and absolutely non toxic. Some types can even be...eaten.

And they're not catching on you say? How about 200,000 sold per year in the US? How about 100 million of them in China?

[hboyce4]

what song is it?

[kayson4]

good music

[dhaddox]

That awesome song kinda overshadows the video

[ScooterNews]

I think that Ultra Motors sending you a replacement unit just shows what kind of company they really are. Every company has problems occasionally, and its how they fix them that makes a company shine above the rest. I've been really impressed with Ultra Motor's staff and their awesome customer service.

[rebbole]

@ScooterNews turn the freakin music down!!~!

[joepah51]

Be careful.. I just bought this bike and smoked the motor, which locked up the rear whell after a week. Couldn't even pedal the damn thing home. Shop couldn't troubleshoot problem, so Ultra motor is going to send me a new bike.... Not too confidence inspiring, especially since I couldn't even pedal home, nor could I push it.

[OghamTheBold]

Centre stands - only found on inefficient, over-weight bikes made in China (it's the weight I don't like; not the country)

Looks heavy - I pity anyone who is ever 5 miles from home with a dead battery

Key location is typical of poor design often China again (but it doesn't matter where the person lives that messed it up)

[ekkeman]

I could get it home with a dead battery.

[mikefish885]

I have noticed several of these Ambassadors on Youtube...did you get a free bike? Look up Federal law...you cant pedal much faster than 2-3 mph more or else you will go over 20 mph..thus putting it in a different class of transportation.

[WowfiedPerson]

Is it necessary to wear a helmet?

I heard it's okay to ride ebike as long as its speed limit is 20mph.

What happens if we make it higher?

Thinking of getting one but I have no info about ebike

[elppbntso]

I just recieved mine last monday, it has been a blast, Go A2B!

[ScooterNews]

The music is by "The Bad Plus"

[sparkmedia1]

@ScooterNews The music sucked and was even more annoying given the fact that you were talking to the ground.

[zer77o]

Whats this Music?

Very nice bike !

[NefariousEquivocator]

Whats the price?

[upcycle]

$2700 at Best Buy.
