    I researched electric bikes for some time before I settled on this one. After some shipping delays, it arrived a couple days ago. It comes in a huge box, which weighs 76K–167 pounds. Once inside, it’s bolted to a pretty dirty steel cage, so be prepared to get smelly and dirty! The front axle bolt is threaded through the cage, it takes some time and patience to work that out. The instructions are close to useless, but it’s pretty obvious where most of the stuff is supposed to go. Just be patient! And don’t be afraid of getting dirty.

    I’m 5′, about 110, and was able to wrestle it around, so I would think most people shouldn’t have a problem. I put it together, charged it up, turned it on. I forgot that electric bikes don’t make a starting noise, and I hit the throttle and just about mowed down my dining room table. So watch for the quiet operation! ;) The horn on the other hand is pretty loud and harsh–everyone’s going to know you’re coming. The lighting is fantastic, lights are big and bright, huge brake lights, great front and back turning signals. It has high beams as well.

    I haven’t had a chance to really test it out on distances, I’ve been getting used to it–it does take off pretty fast, so practice somewhere where you won’t run into things–like NOT the dining room! ;)

    I will post more as I learn more. So far, 100% great, neighbors are envious, co-workers want one.

    **NOTE: the speedometer display is in kilometers per hour. 32.2 KPH=20 MPH. So, if you are trying to comply with federal regualtions, that’s where it should be.

    UPDATE: Two weeks later I am still waiting on my warranty replacement charger from XTreme Scooters. I did buy another @www.monsterscooterparts.com. They’ve got great prices and great service. Their charger is better and quieter as well.

    I have run the bike through pouring Houston rain and been fine. I weigh around 115 lbs and the bike gets up to a nice steady 42KMH which translates to just over 26 MPH. I can run it there for 15-17 miles. After it hits the yellow bar, it drops down pretty quickly. I take the battery out of the bike and charge it that way, since I live in an upstairs condo and this bike is way too heavy to cart up the stairs. Also, there is no way this is ‘foldable’ or whatever it it says on this website. It’s heavy and bulky, you’d need a couple people and a truck to get it around.

    All in all this is a great product, I’m having a ton of fun and still getting compliments and questions everywhere I go. I usually have a big grin stuck on my face when I’m riding. ;)

    I will write another review after appx 3-4 months of use. For me, however, this is a perfect. I am a 64 year old man with serious heart disease. I need regular exercise, but have to stop if I feel my heart stressing too much. The X-Treme Electric Bicycle XB-502 allows me that flexibility. I can pedal or turn on the electric drive and cruise. A perfect fit also was the low price which allowed me to buy it for cash. Also perfect is I need no drivers license, do not have to register it, or insure it. I can ride it on bicycle paths just like a regular bike, or on the street where allowed.
