Sailnovo 14" Folding Electric Bike for Adults & Teens - 18.5mph E-Bike with Pedals, Dual Disc Brakes & Waterproof Design - Perfect for Commuting, Campus Travel & Urban Exploration

Was scheduled to be delivered Wednesday or Thursday and arrived on Monday morning via FedEx. At first I thought the handle bars were put on backwards and twisted them where everything looks like it should. I weigh 210 and am 5 foot 7 3/4 inches and took it out before charging it for 2 different times for a total of a mile. .3 miles and then .7 to get used to riding it. Got it up to 16.3 mph with my weight on a sort of flat road. And it still was accelerating. It is worth every penny I spent on it to ride around in our small town of 6,000+ people. Friends live 4 blocks away and other friend about a mile away. Good for any type of trip. Got it charging in the kitchen for 12 hours. Finally found the kick stand and now it stands on its own. The charger shows charged with the yellow light on but I know from previous electric bikes that they need to be charged for 12 hours or so and then just charge it every time I finish riding it each trip.Solidly built and so far no complaints except I ain't figured out how to tighten down the seat.Ahha it clamps down. Clamps for handlebars and speedometer and brakes throttle etc.It is heavy but rides smooth. Headlight and tail light very bright. I don't know why others had problems with their scooters. Bought for the speedometer and seat. Have balance issues while walking and can't walk very far but now don't need to walk anywhere. I can glide on this marvelous piece of work. And I'm not some seller writing this review. Just a 60 year old man who now has mobility.. I would purchase this item again if given the opportunity. I paid $479.99 and it is worth every dime. Going to ride it to friends tomorrow if I remember to. Happy riding everyone! Oh yeah, did I mention you should get one yourself? Lmao ?. Came partially charged and seems to hold a charge will update my review as I use it more.Day 1 and day 2Took it out for a spin (had a busy day people due to come over.) and rode it .4 miles and got it up to 18.6 mph on a downhill slightly to a stop sign on road tar. Wouldn't accelerate above 18.6 seems to be governed at that speed. Average speed about 10 to 15 mph most of the time except when had to make precise maneuvers like sidewalk sharp turns.I am in lust with this item. It is one of the best purchases I've ever made.It's been a month since I got this and I just rode it today 11.2 miles and have the charger on it. Rode it for 110 minutes total but stopped to rest a couple times. Riding in 33 to 58 degree weather. Takes a hurting from the cold but still performs well. Probably work better in 60 plus weather. Says the bike in the description is waterproof and someone else said yes it is waterproof. I've ridden across flat items of moisture but not in the rain. Electricity and water do not mix as anyone knows. The battery being in the frame will keep it dry. Only thing I'm concerned about is whether or not you can actually ride it without worrying it will stop working. February 22nd took out and rode a mile in the rain and ride through some wet streams but avoided any deep ruts or holes with water in them. Was coming down good. The seals on the motor keep the motor dry as long as it isn't immersed in water. Don't use it to go through flood waters and bury the motor under water. But rain ain't gonna hurt it one bit. Almost all electric motors are waterproof but some are not. You have to use at your own peril. I'm happy with this purchase so much I bought a 2nd yellow ebike for my ex girl friend who is getting her life back in order. Kind of a Christmas and birthday gift for the year early. She came up with half and I put up the other half. So I truly recommend these bikes. They pedal easy with the motor throttle helping you go with ease up almost any hill. I've used the bike ? as a cane and walked up a steep hill to get the weight off ny waist and the momentum of the bike steadied me without any problems. So I've spent $959.98 for 2 bikes now one blue and one yellow. The speed is adequate and stays chugging at the road even when down to 1 bar out of 5 on the battery. It has been 3 almost 4 months and tires up and battery still holds its own except the cold does seem to make it a little sluggish. You can tell when you're putting a strain on it and need to pedal home to charge it.Best investment I've made from Amazon.7 5 2023524 pm central time.Friend informed me that when sitting on it the rear tire is beginning to look a little low. Been 7 months that I've owned it and it still performs well, but I've noticed that it drains quickly riding it full throttle all the time.Probably would do better keeping your speed 10 to 13 mph which would use less juice.I've contacted the seller to find out about any warranty since it's only been 7 months and the battery seems to discharge a little bit quicker. Most of the time it still performs rather nicely.But I want to figure out if it's the battery which is defective and still under warranty.Otherwise I'd still buy another one. But expect it to last longer than 7 months for $479.99.Edit. 07-10-2023Contacted salvanio and they are sending me out a new battery since it is under warranty and after doing the suggested things to check the battery it is the battery.I am very pleased with the customer support they provide. No hassles just great customer help.I've ridden the bike since january 11th 2023 and I've traveled 218 miles so far. It goes fast enough and is reliable. I find that traveling at a slower rate like 10- 14 mph instead of full throttle 18.6 that the breeze from that speed aids in the coolness of the heat during summer.It also allows the battery to not drain as fast which is a plus also.Happy with purchase. Didn't buy any extended warranty so I'm glad this product exists.Would definitely buy again.
