chris here looking at a very different style of e-bike and a very fun one at that this
is the gogo best gf750 why is it so different well it is the first e-bike that i know of or at least
that i have tested that has dual motors they're both 1000 watts each that they peak at giving
us a combined total of course of 2000 watts that's a lot of power so we've got the iconic
fat tires on this too which are four inches wide 20 inch rims so they soak up a lot of the bumps
and things and because we got all that power this particular bike here rockets up climbs like
no other e-bike that i've tested out before it can handle climbs of up to 45 degrees that is a
huge steep climb that this thing just breezes up no problems because all that power now what's
powering it of course is a big battery pack it's right here it's removable at 17.5 amp hours now
they do say that you should be able to get up to 80 kilometers range out of it so that's pretty
good range too out of a bike like this especially with 20 inch rims does have a bike rack at the
rear we've got some very standard components on it though too so we've got mechanical 160 millimeter
disc brakes should be hydraulic we do have a seven speed shimano setup so it is still
an e-bike but the style of it it looks more like one of those older motorbikes or a moped
right especially with this long seat here which is quite wide wide enough that you can
and long enough that you can even have a passenger on the back there are some pegs down there
so it does have a very large screen front shock bright led headlights i'll be going over it all in
this review and i'll let you know why this bike is such a blast and such a fun bike to ride the gf750
the gf750 is a long bike and it is very heavy around about approximately 34 35 kilos you
don't want to be lifting it anywhere so what makes this bike so fun are these powerful very torquey
1000 watt motors we've got one in the front hub which is very unusual you don't normally see this
the other of course in the standard location in the rear so we have a combined 2000 watts of
power now there are two forms of stands that they do give us on this bike we've got the horseshoe
style one which does prop it up straight and it supports the weight the kickstand style that i'm
using right now also does support its weight well but have a look at the clearance we get
almost nothing with that horseshoe style so me personally i would probably remove this because
doing a little bit of off-roading right here up with these rocks and things quite a few times
i've had things that will strike up against this stand and you really don't want that
then our headlights so it's using a lens which is the projector and behind it is a very powerful led
so powerful that you can make it out in direct sunlight which is great for safety
and it does light up the path ahead of you without any problems and it happens to be probably one of
the better front led headlights that i've seen and tested on an e-bike the gf750 uses steel
mud guards so not plastic ones and so far they don't tend to rattle around which is good you
don't want things clattering and making noise as you ride the bike does come with a bike rack
install that can handle up to 35 kilos of weight and a rear tail light now the tower light has its
own little switch it's actually part of the battery bank here this pack is really large
17.5 amp hours now they do claim that should give us a range of up to 80 kilometers but its course
is going to vary on your weight your riding style and where exactly you're riding if you've got a
lot of climbs and you certainly will not get that 80 kilometers the seat which is just above that
is a very similar looking style seat to that of say a old style motorbike and not so much of a
bike really it does have a usb port just behind a rubber gasket right here if you needed to charge
up any of your devices the battery is locked into place it is removable too you can slide
the whole battery out to charge it outside of the bike or replace it later on if needed and it even
has its own built-in battery gauge in the pack so you can check on the battery life if you've
got it out of the bike because of course once you slot that in you can't actually access that
now the bike uses a 48 volt system which is a lot more powerful than the typical 36 volt system you
get on other e-bikes our charger port is located here and you simply just need to slide that up
charge time is quite long because it's a big battery it is going to take eight hours to fully
charge the 17.5 amp hour battery the front crank has a chain protector around it and the pedals
these are no name brand pedals they're okay they are made out of metal with reflectors
and so far no problems with them then i'll drive train it's very standard here shimano tourney
it's the tz so we've got seven gears here with this cassette and you'll see right here we do
have some pegs this is for a passenger and you just simply press here and they flick out for the
passenger's feet it does state there was a sticker on this that don't apply a lot of pressure to it
so it's not meant for standing up on then there is this little plasticky box here feels a little
cheap that's where the controller is inside there so the controller for both of those motors that's
really the brains of the whole thing but then we do have the display which i'll show you now
so the bike's got a fantastic screen really clear it's backlit you can make it out at night time no
problems at all and even direct sunlight now you can see just how clear it is it's nice and large
it's called the m5 and i've seen it on a couple of other models and even
on a scooter before very good screen so here we do have our controls we've got the m2 cycle through
the different modes here you can go through the trip voltage odometer time up and down arrows are
for our pedal assist level so pedal assist level number five is the maximum so it's one to five
and there is a zero setting for no assistance whatsoever so that will power us up to 25
kilometers per hour we have our seven speed shimano gear selector right here the accelerator
so this will work just straight away if i push it if you're in pedal assist level one to five
so you do need to be very careful with it it can be dangerous imagine if i accidentally
press it now the bike will just scoot off and go right off the edge of this cliff right here
so you need to bear that in mind to be very careful around it so we've got a switch here too
for our light on and off a buzzer which is super loud probably one of the loudest i have heard
it is deafening so that's great for safety and then our grips here are lock grip style so they
are not going anywhere they're not twisting around now what is this bike like to ride so
we have an upright rider position here it's like a kali kind of setup really you feel like you're
just cruising along now i've got it in pedal assist level zero that means it's all pedal power
now i wouldn't want to be pedaling long distances with this bike because it is
rubbing the seat because it's so wide on my inner thighs and that is going to be a bit uncomfortable
and i can see that in a long ride certainly you're probably going to end up chafing your inner thighs
which won't be good now you can sit right back on the seat or you can sit up front a little closer
and that way it's not really rubbing on my inner thigh but it's not a very comfortable
position so the gear changes are good no problems with them i'll just go into the seventh gear now
it's a seven speed shimano and then the pedal assist level so we do have helicis level one that
will give me a boost once you're peeling up to about four kilometers the speed sensor kicks in so
it doesn't have a torque sensor then right up to pedal assist level five you can hear the motor now
very powerful motors takes me up to 25 kilometers per hour in a matter of seconds
but we also do have this the accelerator so using that now i'll just demonstrate
squeaky brakes it sounds like a bit of a train really as soon as you press that you're going to
be careful with it it is dangerous you take off and the front wheel spins it's got that
much torque and that will get me up to whatever level i have set at the pedal assist level limit
so that's 25 kilometers per hour and it will not go over that
all right i've unlocked the speed limit i won't show you how to do that in this video
that is something you can find online if you search so i'm on the pedal assist level five
i've got the accelerator of course here and i'm in an empty car park i want to stress this fact that
i'm only going to test this out just this once in this car park here when i'm on the public roads
i will set it to the 25 kilometer per hour limit and just leave it at that because this speed is
pretty crazy and i just want to make sure there's no traffic around so let's see how fast it can
really go we know it's got a lot of power a lot of talk so let's take a look acceleration
very good up to 25 kilometers in a matter of seconds we're hitting 40 now kilometers per hour
45 that's are really about it maybe you can squeeze out a little more there
45 kilometers per hour out of the 2 000 watts in total
and the dual motors of course i just do one more test against the wind now
30 kilometers 35
40 all right so that is it for the speed test i'll be setting it back now to the 25
kilometer per hour limit that you get it out of the box all right so my climb test here
this is approximately 25 degrees the climb and this bike can handle up to 45 degree gradients
so really it's not gonna have any problems not with dual motors each of them at a thousand
watts so i'll just start off kick off and i can use that accelerator but i'll just try pedaling
there we go the pedal assist has kicked in fast dry pedal the faster it is going and
it is handling this really with no problem so you can climb up very steep climbs
this is really comfortable now if i use the accelerator i'll see what happens
it's going to get me to 25 kilometers per hour even quicker going up here so no problems at
all but what happens if i decide to turn off all the pedal assist and then just do it oh manually
could you got these steep climbs wow you're going to have to stand up to power all through it but
oh no there's no way i want to ride this up any hills without any battery if the battery is empty
and because of the style of bike i'm going to do a big climb test on this one so go right
up to the top here and i do love how loud these fat wheels sound when i am cruising out there
so i'm pedaling i'm using pillar says level 5 and it's quite comfortable in the fourth gear
just to go up this at around about 20 kilometers per hour
now for my braking test so mechanical disc brakes 160 millimeter really should be hydraulic
they squeal now i'm up to about 30 full-on braking now
okay that breaking performance is not bad i think it's aided by the fact we've got really wide
four-inch tyres however i think hydraulics especially considering
the price this bike sells for and they're quite squeaky brakes
as you can hear but they do break reasonably well for mechanical disc brakes now because this
bike's got a lot of power the dual motors both 1000 watts each and the fat four inch tyres it
should handle a climb like this really well right we've got a lot of torque so that front wheel
slipping quite a bit but once you get going you can really roll over this stuff with absolute ease
not a problem for the gf750 here with the smooth stuff but up ahead
it is quite rough so we'll see how i fare with the fat wheels
bit of noise coming from that front mudguard but that's about oh as far as i can go really
maybe a little more this is getting a bit too rough here for 20 inch fat tires but i am able
to do this this is quite a surprise look at this going up this not bad at all plenty of power
and then riding down trails we've got the front shock and the flat tyres are soaking
up some of these bumps but it is hard going you definitely don't want to be taking this bike
off-road too much unless it's just like here nice smooth gravel then it's all right
now then the range on this bike it can't be that good right because we've got two very hungry
powerful 1000 watt motors so 2000 watts peak but it is a super large battery look at the size of
this thing that big and at 17.5 amp hours so i am losing for every battery bar which there are 10
of them here i lose around about one bar per five to seven kilometers that i am riding now bear in
mind that i'm not the lightest rider either i am 82 kilos and i have been doing some serious climbs
i climbed all the way up here too so that's when it does take quite a toll on the battery but you
are looking around 50 kilometer range 60 kilometer range that is short from their 80 kilometer which
is their claim that's always the way that's how it is the same with electric cars real world use
is quite a bit less but still i don't think is a bad range considering it's only 20
inch wheels rim size that we've got on here now those four inch wide tires the fat tires
fantastic i really do like them i want to review more fat tire e-bikes because they just soak up so
many of the small bumps i'm running a reasonably high psi it could lower it down a little bit more
and it would be even softer the right now let's speak a little bit about that ride that
i mentioned with my tests that you are in this nice upright position you've got a straight back
and very comfortable just cruising along and when you're peddling in this position because of how
wide the seat is that it's okay for short periods but i can see already in my rides and tests now
over a couple of days that when i'm riding a lot i'm getting a lot of inner thigh rubbing
that is happening from the width of the seat now to help solve that a little bit you could end up
sitting up a bit more further to the front of the bike and then ride that way and then the seat's a
little more narrow there so it's not really going to chafe and rub up against your inner thighs but
if you sit back you're going to have more of that problem because it's such a huge seat you can have
a passenger on the rear there are the foot pegs there which is good and the overall build quality
of the bike is good i like the finish of the frame the welds look good it's a matte paint job
very bright front headlight great clear screen it's a basic seven-speed shimano setup with
the gears but it seems to work well accelerates really quick and fast and the climbing performance
absolutely amazing just it just blows me away it's an absolute blast riding this particular
e-bike the brakes then i would rate as a bit of a con there okay mechanical disc brakes you can stop
perfectly fine it's not dangerous or anything like that i just would like a little bit more braking
performance and i think this price point hydraulic disc brakes should have been the way to go
and i probably would have put millimeter discs on instead of 160 millimeter just to up the braking
performance after all it's a very heavy and powerful e-bike here so weight-wise it is about
34 or 36 kilos very heavy you don't want to be lifting it anywhere at all so those are the cons
there really the brakes the weight and it can chafe a little bit depending if you're gonna
be riding a lot because of the style of seat apart from that what a funny buy i'm just having so much
fun reviewing this because it's a joy to write cruises along so nicely rockets up all of the
climbs it's been a blast thank you so much for watching my review here of the gogo best gf750
