Hi there as usually its me just a voice over and you are watching review machines.
Today our review is about citycocos – quite popular kind of electric transport throughout
the world!
Here they are – the newest models bike and trike!
Citycocos are very sucesful electric scooters, many people love them for their efficiency
and nice looking design.
We have citycocos made by White Siberia brand.
Today we will make the thorough tests of the scooters find out the maximum speed and range,
actual prices and many other details.
Well it is high time to begin and first of all we’ll see at the construction of these
vehicles, let’s go!
Both models have electric motors with 3 kwt power.
The power is the same but the motors are different.
The bike is equipped with the rear electric motor wheel.
The trike has an external electric motor that drives rear axle through the differential.
We will find out today the difference between these solutions.
Each model has two lithium batteries, one is in the bottom of the frame and another
is under the seat.
Each battery is 60 volts and 21 Ah capacity, in this way the total capacity is 42 Ah on
the each bike.
All the batteries are locked, there are keys to unlock them.
Both scooters have the similar suspension system, spring hydraulic fork at the front
and spring suspension at the rear.
Besides all the bikes have disks hydraulic brakes system of all the wheels.
By the way the trike has a reverse mode.
To switch it on you should press a special button and then push the throttle.
The seats are quite comfortable, there is enough room even for two people.
The dashboard is bright and simple with all the necessary info, there are rear view mirrors
and the start button like on a modern cars.
There is a phone holder with charging.
The lights are very powerful, head lamps stop and turning signals are very bright.
Both scooters have rear boxes.
And the trike has the additional rear trunk made of steel tubes.
The fenders are made of a flexible plastic.
Well actually we’ve covered all the main details of the construction of the bikes,
lets do some practice!
Well guys I’d like now to share with you my thoughts why I devote so much time on this
channel to electric transport.
The point is that only with electric vehicles you may enjoy your rides in a special way.
Warm breeze in your face, mild sunset light, bird songs and the beauty of the nature around
us.
You can feel these bright and pleasant details riding only on electric transport.
It is hard to notice them if a combustion engine adds some noise vibrations and exhaust.
I think there is every reason to say that riding a gas vehicle you are the rival of
the nature, but riding an electric one you are a part of it.
Well lets get back to the certain things.
Our citycocos have a perfect drive on asphalt.
They move quiet and smoothly, without any noise and vibrations.
Especially I liked how the bike goes.
Despite it has quite a big fat tires it has an impressive idle run.
Release a throttle and the bike will be running for a surprisingly long distance.
The disk hydraulic brakes are also fine, no any problems with them.
Well it is such a pleasure to ride these bikes on asphalt, but now it is time to test them
in other conditions.
We will get back to this road to measure the maximum speed, but now lets move on.
Undoubtedly these scooters are cut out for asphalt but we should test them also on a
rough terrain cause many people buy these vehicles to use them in the country.
Besides there is quite good suspension system so lets see how it works on a rough terrain.
And here in this conditions we can see the certain difference between our bike and trike.
There is a loose and slippery ground after rain, and it is hard to keep balance on the
bike.
But it is absolutely not a problem for a trike.
You ride this vehicle like a quad without any difficulties with balance.
Besides as we can remember the trike has an external reducer motor and it provide more
torque that is good for moving on a rough terrain.
That is why if you are going to ride mostly on a rough terrain you should choose a trike.
On the other hand the bike has other advantages.
It is going more smooth.
Firstly it has only one track as opposed to the trike that has three tracks.
In this way you cross three times less roughnesses riding on a bike.
Besides the suspension system of the bike feels much softer.
Then I think a trike is more suitable for those who like a calm riding without any surprises.
But riding a bike definitely provides more fun, though it is more dangerous in some way.
Then I should mention that both bike and trike have a standard water resistance.
You can use them in rainy weather and cross some puddles, but it is forbidden to plunge
motors entirely under water.
If you need a more serious water resistance you may improve it with a some tuning, but
in most cases the standard protection is enough.
Well generally speaking these citycocos are perfect transport for countryside, you may
really enjoy every ride.
Only mosquitos can spoil your ride, lets banish them!
Well we have to do the main tests, but lets get back home first and recharge the batteries.
To charge the batteries we use powerful 5A chargers.
It takes only 4 hours to recharge the batteries from 0 to 100%.
It’s a new day and we turn on our gps trackers to measure the range.
And while the batteries are full lets check the maximum speed now.
The bike is the first.
According to the official specs its maximum speed is 70 kmh, as we can see I could reach
67 kmh.
Now the trike.
In fact the trike is not cut out for high speed, that is why the maximum speed here
is limited up to 40 kmh.
Well we are moving on.
Today a windy weather, that can inflict the range in some way.
I am riding a trike, my college on a bike, my weight is 87 kilos and he is about a hundred.
We are going at a 40 kmh speed that is a maximum for a trike as we can remember.
Frankly speaking it is a boring procedure that takes a lot of time.
But it is interesting to find out the range, besides our vehicles are rather comfy, so
I wouldn’t complain.
And after some time of riding lets learn the results!
The range of the trike is 83 kms!
And the bike has a result 98 kms.
I think it’s a quite impressive result!
And now lets speak about the prices!
The price of the trike is 1300 dollars.
The bike costs 1500 dollars.
Mind these prices are for the set with one battery, additional battery costs about 300
dollars.
Thanks for watching my friends, please post your comments what you think of these vehicles.
Lets call it a day now!
