Hi there as usually its me just a voice over and you are watching review machines!
Look what we have here guys!
Now when bicycle season is coming to an end, I think it is high time for such kind of an
electric bike!
You may remember that previous our buy failed when we tried to get a cheap and powerful
electric fatbike.
Frankly speaking in general that was a trash!
No wonder taking into account its price.
So this time we decided not to buy the cheapest variant and choose more expensive bike.
And finally we’ve got it!
Meet this pretty boy – Electric fatbike Keeper and Jim!
This time we tried to find the most practical and clever designed bike.
Don’t want any more to review semi-finished product you know.
And for the first sight it seems that Keeper meets all our requirements, first our impressions
are pretty good.
And I think it is a really most practical design for the bike.
The Aluminum frame with 20 inch wide tires that will be perfect for all seasonal rides.
The frame is foldable, so its very compact, and it won’t take much space in your storage
room.
There is a reducer electric motor 500 watts power working together with Lithium battery
15 Ah capacity.
Then we see here bicycle gearbox with 7 ranges Shimano Tourney.
Mechanical disk brakes.
The paint and welding seams are pretty fine, can’t say anything bad.
And I wonder…if it is really worth its money?
By the way lets speak about the prices right now.
Now we are on aliexpress sellers page where we can see the description of the product.
They promise the finest quality, frame made of finest aluminum, impressive range and many
other features.
As to the prices, they start at about 1000 dollars for the variant with 500 watts motor.
Well now lets look at our bike in detail.
Firstly I liked the way how the battery is attached to the frame.
To take it off we need just to open the seat and pull the battery out.
The battery has such a nice case with a comfortable handle.
Besides we see here the charge level indicator.
The battery is attached in a special socket without any loose wiring.
The handlebar is foldable.
The lock is quite durable.
The frame is foldable too, and the lock also looks quite durable.
When the bike is folded it has a very compact size, it takes minimum space in a storage.
So…you can hide it in any place you want!
Lets weigh it while it is folded.
The weight is 26 kilos…plus 5 the weight of the battery.
As to the other features.
We have here a front suspension, though maybe its not very expensive.
Besides there is a spring under the seat instead of the rear suspension.
The computer is one of the best to my mind.
It is quite simple, but it has a bright display.
Handles a made of a soft rubber they are very comfy.
There is a phone holding gear, and durable metal fenders.
Well it seems we are ready to move to the practice…there is only one the most important
thing to do!
That’ll do, lets go!
Speaking about my very first impressions!
Despite the bike is foldable and it has several joints it feels quite solid when riding.
Nothing is trembling and rattling here.
There are five power modes.
I am riding certainly in five most powerful mode.
Well….to be frank there is no any shock, the power of 500w motor is not smashing my
face.
But on the other hand, as I said we have a reducer motor here, and that is why it is
sooo torqy.
It speeds up to the maximum speed pretty quickly.
Then I liked that it was absolutely ready for use right from the box.
You know I am very glad about this fact after our adventures with previous trash fatbike.
Then all the bicycle gears are working properly and also I should say despite my height is
almost 2 meters, I don’t feel awkwardly on this little bike.
There is even no problem with pedaling for me.
Now lets check the maximum speed.
We have here quite a flat road, so I think its proper condition for this test.
We have a speedometer in the onboard computer, by they as a rule are not precise enough,
so we will use a gps speedometer also.
As we can see the maximum speed is 30 kmh at gps trecker and 34 at onboard speedometer.
I think it quite a decent result taking into account my weight 87 kilos.
Then we’ll test the brakes.
Well I can say nothing bad about them – just regular mechanical disk brakes.
And they don’t creak, that I especially appreciate.
It is a pleasure to ride in a park on good roads on this bike, but in fact we have a
fatbike – an atv in the world of the bikes!
So lets try how it goes on a rough terrain!
And again I should say the bike feels absolutely solid, It goes smooth without any annoying
noises.
And due to its compact frame the bike is quite maneuverable.
As to the suspension performance…well I can say at least it works!
Of course the suspension is simple and cheap, but as to me it is better to have such a system
that go on a bike on a rough terrain without any suspension at all.
Now I am trying how the bike climbs on a hill.
As we’ve already known we have a reducer motor here and quite a good torque, so we
can climb on such a long ascent without any difficulties.
And this ascent is long too but it is quite steep this time.
Lets try to climb on it right from the spot without acceleration.
Well as we can see it goes slow and sure.
And this hill is really steep and we do it again at a speed.
But lets try from the spot with about half of the battery.
Nice!
Lets move on.
Well up to know I liked this bike in generall.
It has enough power and torque and it seems quite qualitative and durable.
But we have one more test and probably the most important one – the range.
So we come back home to recharge the battery, see you soon on asphalt my friends.
Well the weather seems to be non flying today.
For all that we should do a range test, so lets begin.
I start a gps tracker on the phone and we are ready, lets go!
Probably it is one of the severest tests in our practice.
It is so chilly guys, just about 3 degrees, it rains cats and dogs, so the conditions
are pretty hard not only for a rider but for the bike also.
But the most unpleasant it is a cold wind.
I am riding in 4 mode at a speed about 30 kmh.
And lets check the maximum speed on asphalt.
As we can see the result is 36 kmh.
It is quite impressive taking into account the weather conditions.
Lets move on.
Well the biked sustained the cold rain and we’ve got the final result.
Are you ready?
The result is 56 kms!
It is a really impressive result taking into account the weather conditions!
And to sum up our review, I really tried to find some drawbacks about the bike.
But generally speaking I didn’t manage to find any.
Maybe just a price a little bit high, but I think this bike is worth its money, a really
decent electric fatbike!
Thanks for having a ride with us, my friends, please post you comments what you think of
