Yes…and we lucky enough to chose this very day for our shootings!
But we can’t get back home now.
It is terrible for our cameras, but the snowy picture is awesome isn’t it?
So get comfortable my friend an we will try to show you today quite curios peace of equipment,
lets go!
Hi guys as usually its me just a voice over and you are watching review machines.
The idea of this video occurred to me when I was looking through the aliexpress.
I found there a real winter transport – electric fatbike with 350 watts motor.
It looks quite well, besides there was some positive feedback, but the most important
– it is probably the cheapest electric fatbike on the market.
Its price is only about 500 dollars!
It seems a good deal, take my money!
And now here it is…
Let me introduce it to you guys!
Meet the electric fatbike Lebron!
And you know, first our impressions are not so bad!
I like how it looks.
Quite solid and reserved, stylish silver paint, no bright colors, it produces an impression
of more expensive thing.
Unlike many other Chinese bikes there are so few stickers!
Only the panter, and its name Lebron, by the way I don’t know why it is called so.
To be frank if look at it closer the welding seams leave much to be desired, but the general
look is decent, isn’t it?
By the way.
We had one more idea.
As we were going to make some winter tests, we wanted to attach studs to the tire tread
and even bought some of them.
But unfortunately it turned out the studs are too long and they may puncture the tires!
That is why we had to abandon this idea.
But how do you like this?
Two sets of keys with a real antitheft system!
And we found out how it works!
Lets turn on the alarm system and leave the bike!
Meantime some quite a suspicious fellow seems to be going to steal our Lebron bike!
Its time for the alarm system!
Well…probably an antitheft cable would have been more effective!
Now lets have a closer look at the bike!
It is a rear drive, the power of the motor is 350 watts.
The battery is lithium 36 volts and 10.8 amper hours.
The battery is detachable.
The wheels are rather suitable for winter riding, they are 26 inches with a good tire
tread.
All the bike gears seem to be quite durable, but its Chinese noname, though it isn’t
surprisingly at all taking into account the price of the bike.
On the handle bar there is so to speak an ignition and the display with proper info.
It quite bright with pleasant blue lights.
The frame is made of steel, hardtail type, without rear suspension.
At the front there is a cheap suspension, don’t expect much from it.
The light, the seat, fenders and other stuff are standard and aren’t worth of our attention.
Well the snowfall its getting harder so it is high time to start our tests!
By the way guys, we even invited a special man who is a shrewd judge of any fatbikes.
Meet the fatman!
Fatbike…fatman – how do you like our sense of humor guys?
Now the fatman needs some time to prepare himself for the real test, and if you don’t
mind I start it myself not to waste time!
Let’s go!
And I start from the good.
The tires proved to be quite efficient on a snowy road even without studs.
Of course I do not recommend go on ice, but on snow it moves rather confidently.
Then the bike itself sounds very decently.
There is no any annoying trembling or dangling, everything keeps tight and silent.
Few words about the weight…I didn’t find it in specs but it is felt like about 30 kilos.
Quite a heavy thing I should say, but its an usual feature for any electric fatbike,
so I can’t say it is good or bad for the bike.
Now lets check the maximum speed.
You probably can’t see well, but according to the bike computer its maximum speed is
25-30 kmh.
We should take into account that I am riding on fresh snow and it is harder for the bike
to accelerate here.
So I suppose we would have slightly higher speed on an asphalt road!
Now I want to speak about what I don’t like in this bike.
Firstly its performance is not so impressive I should say, and the maximum speed 30 kmh
it may be enough for my grandma but too slow for me.
Wait…just a second!
Did you notice that we have a secret button on our remote controller?
I think it is a turbo mode!
Now I’ll press it and we’ll see…
And our fatbike immediately turned into a real beast!
It became so powerful that we even decided to do some burnout!
Yeah…Lebron now is able to burn its tires even on snow, just see it.
Well It seems we have too much burnout.
Actually after I pressed the button everything didn’t change!
It was just a joke with burnout to make this video not so dull as this bike.
Yep, the bike is rather dull to my mind.
It moves, but 350 watts motor is definitely not enough for winter riding.
On the other hand its powerful enough to provide 30 kmh on fresh snow and I expect it to move
significantly faster in summer.
If 30 is suitable, this bike is for you, otherwise look for something different.
Moreover if you want to go faster on this bike, nobody keeps you from pedaling it itself!
The maximum speed is higher and it is not so cold to ride in winter.
If battery is still alive it is not so hard to pedal it, cause the motor helps greatly,
but if its empty it is very tough to pedal it on snow, as we remember Lebron is quite
weighty bike.
By the way guys don’t you forget about Fatman – he seems to have finished his preparing
for what he call real tests!
And now he is ready to show us how to do it!
But there is some little problem.
Unfortunately we had burnt all the battery by the moment, cause we had been riding for
about 5 hours!
But I think it is not a problem for a real pro – here it is…Fatman.
Well it seems it is tough to pedal it even for Fatman!
But as I’ve said he is a real pro, so he finds the solution immediately.
What a happily occasion that we have a gas generator with us!
Lets mount it on a sled…get it started…and pull the cable to our Lebron.
And it seems that we have just invented a real hybrid gas electric fatbike!
How do you like it Elon?
If seriously we have only one more thing to speak about.
It is the range!
We checked it the other day, and there were tough conditions for the bike – alot of
hills on the way and the rider with 100 kilos weight.
All these things resulted that we got only 10 kilometers of range.
Again not so impressive.
Well it is time to sum it up!
If this fatbike is worth its 500 dollars price!
On one hand it is definitely not enough power and battery capacity for winter conditions.
But on the other hand it is very cheap and may suit your in summer or if you don’t
need high speed and big range.
Please post comments with your opinions guys what you think of this bike, do you like it
or not?
And now lets call it a day!
