750W Electric Bike for Adults - 20''x4.0 Fat Tire Folding E-Bike with 48V 13AH Removable Battery & 7-Speed Shifter - Perfect for Commuting, Off-Road Adventures & Urban Exploration

My plan was to purchase an eBike to store in trailer to take camping. Primary function being; park trailer use bike to ride down dirt roads to make sure spot was empty and we could “make” it thru with trailer.When I receive eBike it was well packed and easy to assemble. (There are several videos on the internet showing people unboxing/assembling) I thought there was a small (about 2in) mark/scratch on the frame, but it turn out that it is the residue from the expanding foam. (I did attempt to remove, but didn’t want to damage paint and it doesn’t bother me).For reference: In the past 30 years I only rode a bike for about 3 month (failed attempt at exercise)During my first test drive I was hooked.Hard to explain, but riding up and down the street effortlessly just made me want to ride more.I decided to take eBike out for a few days until I got tired of it.I have had the eBike for 30 days.According to phone gps app I have logged 225 miles.80% on greenway or bike path on road. (I try to stick to greenway)15% on dirt roads.5% on bike trails. (Not really my thing, but I wanted to test it out)I have since gotten the first/rear basket and regularly go to store.Needless to say I love it.At first, when I used the throttle I had the tendency to go full throttle, which would make the bike take off.Now I rarely use the throttle.For the most part I have the bike in Peddle Assist level 2 or 3, gear at #7 and just peddle.I still have to learn how to use and get comfortable with gears. (it is hard to peddle from a stop at intersection when you are in gear 7 and at 0 peddle assist.)Basically I am still learning the best ways to use peddle assist/gears. (It is unsafe to “hit” the throttle from a stop at intersection when you are in peddle assist 5)I would also recommended to go through the controller setting.1. Set bike size to 20 (MPH and miles driven are now closely match gps….not exactly, but close)2. Some throttle and peddle sensitivity. I fiddle with the numbers until it matched what I expected.Top SpeedHonestly I am not a good reference for top speed and that is not my thing.For a short time in Peddle assist 5 and peddling I was able to maintain 25-26 mph for about a mile.Like I said speed isn’t really my thing, I prefer cruising @12-15 mph(I will be honest sometime 15mph seems too fast for me, especially on slight curves)RangeOf course it varies on weight, wind, how much you peddle ect ectWhat I have noticed is that as I am getting better at using gears and peddles I am getting more range.For example, at first I would rely on throttle or increase peddle assist level to maintain my speed going up a hill or slight incline.Now I try to shift gears and peddle longer. It definitely seems like I am using less bars on battery for similar trip that I took at beginning. (This is just empirical observations, I didn’t do any data collection)(I did do one 20 mile ride and had about 40% of battery left)I did drop my bike while adjusting the kickstand and completely yank out the wires and cracked/broke the throttle case.This experience taught me that I will not be getting much, if any support from my local bike shops. (The bike mechanic was helpful and told me how I could replace part, but they didn’t order parts)In less than 24hrs, using the internet, ordering a part from amazon and I am sure some luck cause I wasn’t sure if new throttle assembly would work, I was able to replace the part.F.Y.I. search for SHYEKOY Half Twist Throttle in amazon to replace throttle for Rattan LM750DurabilityI don’t know. Looks/feel sturdy but I have only had it for a month. I think if I keep up with maintenance it will easily last over 3 years.Overall this eBike has been great. I am not sure what it was that got me hooked, but I am.Things I recommend:Phone Holder and GPS appLock. (I also got an air-tag, not a guarantee but it is something)Oh and about the “back” seat. I never planned on using it, actually I took it off during the assemble portion. I have enough worries keeping myself safe, I am not going to risk someone else.I also can not tell you how easy it is to fold. In the month I have had it, I only folded it once and it fit in the back cab portion of a Ram 1500 (seat up of truck and no basket on bike)It’s a great value for the price. I’ve put 1500 miles on my bike in the last three months and every mile has been a joy. The fat tires are great for potholes/uneven sidewalks and the bike just looks huge so cars are aware of you. Had to contact rattan for a replacement part thru the warranty and the customer service was great thru email. Super glad I chose Rattan for my first ebike!!Excellent e-bike. We also have a Lectric with similar specs but cost several hundred more $$$. Rattan is my go to for City travel, much more comfortable with my height. Easy accessories purchases and very good to deal with if any concerns come after purchase. Definitely recommend the 750W model. My top choice.I got this for my family to share and it is incredible. I haven't ridden a bike for awhile and it is stable. My kids are loving it and we even got our Auntie on it!!!I had an issue with the control box not long after I got my bike. They were able to trouble shoot the problem with me and sent me a new controller box. I switched it out and it’s worked great every since. Thank you Rattan!Going on long rides.
