We call this vehicle a pocket bike.
I am carrying it like a backpack now, but in fact it is a real functional bike.
But first things first…
Hi there as usually its me just a voice over you are watching review machines and this
is micro electric bike ADO.
Electric bikes – one of our favorite topics on the channel so I am glad to get back to
this theme with this awesome vehicle.
In fact any electric bike – is one of the most convenient means of transport, only electric
scooters can be compared to them.
But bikes have one crucial advantage.
They have pedals and you can keep on moving even when the battery is dead.
But also they have a drawback.
As usually they are much bigger, so it would be difficult to carry and store them.
And today we have a bike, that both have pedals and it is very compact like an electric scooter.
Today we are going to test this bike in practice, but first of all lets see how it is built.
Actually ADO is a Chinese brand, but is well known in many countries.
The bike looks well despite it is very unusual.
In some way it even resembles a bmx bike.
When we look at it closer it produces a good impression.
The frame is made of aluminum, welding seam are decent, built quality is good.
It is equipped with 20 inch wheels, rear wheel has a reducer motor 350 watts power.
The battery is integrated into the frame and it is demountable.
It is very comfy to pull it out.
The battery has 10,4 AH capacity 36 volts power.
Lets see how to fold and unfold it.
We have a durable and reliable lock on the frame.
And the lock on the handlebar.
When it is folded the bike takes so little space.
It is very easy to store and transport it.
Besides it takes literally few seconds to unfold it and start moving.
Moreover we have here a suspension system!
The fork at the front and the spring under the seat.
The seat has a height adjustment and I should say it is huge!
The handlebar also has a height adjustment but it is limited by the cables.
Both wheels are equipped with disk mechanical brakes.
There is 7 ranges Shimano gear.
At the left we see a computer with a big and bright display and usb socket.
The light and signal buttons are next to it.
At the right there is a phone holder that you can charge by a usb socket – its very
comfy.
Finally lets weigh our bike.
The result is 21 kilos.
The idle run of the wheels are good, but lets check it in practice right now!
And the first thing I notice – to start moving we should use the pedals, the motor
start working only after that.
It is obvious a feature to save the energy, it clear, lets go!
First of all I want to say, that this bike feels like a real bike.
It is surprisingly comfortable for a rider and I am not limited by anything.
My height is 190 cm, but is quite comfy for me to ride it.
The seat and the handlebar are adjustable, so it is now a problem for tall people.
But the seat is rather tough, I would prefer a softer one.
Moreover it is easy to pedal it, it feels like a regular small bike, the electric motor
doesn’t resist at all.
All the 7 gears are working properly, so I want to say it again – it is a real functional
bike, but very compact.
Well but what about electric drive?
I think the most effective way to show you its power it is a burnout isn’t it?
Well to be seriously the motor 350 watts is not the most powerful, but we remember that
it is a reducer motor and it has a decent torque.
My weight is 87 kilos, but it speeds up pretty fast with me.
By the way lets check the maximum speed.
As we can see without pedals we reached 29 kmh by gps and 35 by handlebar computer.
The bike is equipped with a suspension system, it is simple, but it works quite well if you
need to get over some obstacles like these steps.
The suspension is good both for a rider and for all the gears of the bike.
It is definitely not enduro bike, but it is better to have such a simple suspension than
do without it.
Lets check the motor on some ascents.
When moving at some speed all the ascents I’met here are not a problem, so lets try
to get on this ascent right from the spot.
It is hard to see on video how steep this ascent, but in fact it is rather serious with
a step at the beginning.
Lets try.
As we can see the motor manages to take me on this hill.
No wonder – reducer motors always have a god torque.
As to the brakes – they work properly like regular mechanical brakes, I can’t say something
special about them.
And we have the most interesting test – the range!
Lets get back home to recharge the battery and see you soon!
Glad to see you again my friends!
It is a new day and we are going to make a range test now!
But today we have some dificullties actually, firstly the weather is non flying as we can
see.
It is very cold outside – only plus 5.
Unfortunately it wasn’t the biggest problem, but about that a bit later, lets move on!
I am moving at a speed 20-25 kmh, by the way the bike has factory water proofing, so it
is not afraid of rain.
As opposed to me, I don’t like to ride for hours in such a weather, may be your likes
can warm me a little.
But after some time I’ve got into a trouble.
The rear tire is punctured!
By this moment I had gone more than 15 kms.
And the battery still has half of its capacity.
So we can make a conclusion that the range should be about 30 kms.
And finally lets speak about the prices.
Actually this bike will cost you about 900 dollars, depending of the shipping you need.
I’ll put the link in the description below.
Well lets call it a day guys, please post your comments what you think of this bike.
