Hi there, as usually its me just a voice over and you are watching review machines!
Another exciting piece of the world of electric transport!
Meet the Picnicbike!
The idea of this bike it is the maximum of reliability and performance, and I think its
needless to say what this bike was inspired by.
The design is so simple, but there is a certain charm is a such simplicity isn’t it?
Today we are going to make as usual the thorough tests of this bike to find out if it is so
effective as its famous analog.
We’ll find out its speed range and other specs, but first of all lets look how its
built in detail!
The whole design of the bike is pretty simple and reliable.
The base here is a steel frame.
Although it is simple, they try to do it with the best quality, the welding seams and paint
are quite fine!
By the way I especially like the color, though it is a matter of taste of course.
The most notable part here is this luxurious long seat covered with eco leather.
It looks very stylish, besides its pretty thick soft and comfy.
The 20 inch wheels make this vehicle some kind of a fatbike, to my mind they fit it
beautifully.
The rear wheel is equipped with the reducer electric motor Bafang 750 watt power.
The battery is mounted on the frame.
Its 48 volts 15 Ah capacity lithium battery.
It is demountable, locked with a key.
There is an indicator on the battery.
Besides there is a computer on the handlebar.
It has quite large display with light, so it is bright even in sunny weather.
There are 5 modes of power, speed, battery indicator, odometer and some other info.
The bike is equipped with hydraulic disk brakes.
The handles are made of a soft pleasant to touch rubber.
There is a throttle at the right.
The pedal drive is direct, there is no shifting gears.
Both wheels are covered with big metal fenders.
Well we have the only thing to do, lets weigh the bike.
And due to the steel frame it becomes rather weighty, as we can see the result is 32 kilos.
And now it is high time to have a ride!
Lets go!
And my very first impressions!
It is so swift bike!
It feels really more like a moped not like a bicycle.
It feels like a perfect combination of a retro moped and a modern electric bike, and that
results in a special charm of this bike!
Besides you sit here like on a motorcycle due to the long seat.
It is rather comfy position for a rider, even for such a tall rider like me and my 187 cm
height.
But it is not so comfy for pedaling.
In this way we can make a conclusion that it’s a moped, not a bicycle.
Also I want to mention quite an impressive thrust.
My weight is 87 kilos, but the bike has a brisk acceleration and it always provokes
you to go faster…so I liked how it feels and drives!
The power of the reducer motor is so good, that it even allows you to do some kind of
a wheely!
The matter is the reducer motor 750 watt has decent torque, besides the wheels are quite
small only 20 winches, that is why the bike with the full throttle takes off very swiftly.
Well we are moving on and now we are riding on asphalt where we are going to test the
maximum speed.
In fact the bike accelerates to the maximum speed very quickly, but then it feels like
some limit turns on.
I don’t know for sure, but I think this limit can be switched off in some way.
Now as a matter of fact the maximum speed I could reach is only 38 kmh.
Wide tires with decent tire tread allow to ride on this bike on rough terrain and even
on sand.
Its common knowledge that driving on sand it’s the most complicated task for any bike.
But picnic bike goes on sand…with difficulties but goes.
So if you want you definitely may go on this bike to the beach.
Well in this way picnic bike has all the chances to be considered as an ideal electric bike,
but for one thing.
And you may have noticed this drawback.
The matter is the bike is not equipped with any suspension system.
So it is rather tough.
Thanks to the fat tires and big soft seat that make riding on the bike more smooth,
but anyway it is rather tough especially on a rough terrain.
So definitely it would be not a good idea to jump on this bike over some obstacles.
Speaking about the brakes…well they are very decent…work perfectly, but sometimes
there is an irritating creak.
Then as I said it is not very comfy to pedal on the bike, nevertheless there ARE pedals
and you may use it when it comes to the crunch.
It is a good way to come back home if the battery is dead.
Again I would like to mention perfect traction of the bike, the powerful motor and offroading
tires allow you to go cross country and get over quite a steep ascents.
It really climbing hills without any efforts, it even keeps the same speed when climbing.
A really decent performance taking into account that I am quite a weighty rider.
I think there is enough power even for two passangers, but there are no additional footsteps
unfortunately.
Now we can see how the bike gets over steep ascent directly from the spot.
It is hard to see on the video but it is a really serious ascent, and bike overcomes
it demonstrating us its perfect traction.
Well in fact there is only one test we have to do, probably the main test.
The range!
And I expect it to be impressive, cause its equipped with high quality lithium battery
15 ah capacity.
And it is so fun to ride on the bike and I would rather ride it much longer but lets
get back home, recharge the battery and make the range test!
It
is
a new day, we have a completely charged battery and we are ready to begin the test.
Lets start the tracker and hit the road!
I am riding the bike all the way on the maximum speed.
There are two riders taking part in the test, me and my college.
As I said my weight is 87 kilos, the weight of the college is 100 kilos, undoubtedly it
is a serious task for the bike to carry such weight.
Well after several hours of non stop riding picnicbike switched off.
By the way I liked that it had a good traction until the very end.
Lets see the result!
58 kms, a really decent result!
And it is high time now to speak about the prices.
But you probably spotted it in the name of the video.
In fact the price of the bike is really about 1000 dollars.
Please post your comments if you liked the bike and if it is worth of its money!
