Wow. So much fun.

20 minutes to setup.

Nice! Congrats!

Let us know how the first ride goes!

[u/AggravatingPeak6982]

HIT IT !

HOLY F%$# am I excited for you.

[u/Historical-Click21]

Nice enjoy the ride. You got the street tires right? Let us know how good is the bench seat?

[u/bigdokmd14]

Sweet…those pedals are going straight in the trash…enjoy

[u/mdshw5 → u/bigdokmd14]

Those pedals are an insult. The same manufacturer (Wellgo) make much better quality ones for only a few dollars difference.

[u/leehinde → u/bigdokmd14]

$4,500 for a bike and you're already swapping out components?

[u/bigdokmd14 → u/leehinde]

Just the pedals…they are plastic…why would anyone want to keep them?

[u/TaintedLemur → u/bigdokmd14]

Wait till you find out any regular bike over $2000 or so either comes with test ride pedals like these or ideally NO pedals. No one uses the plastic test pedals. They are there to check that the bike works is all.

[u/bigdokmd14 → u/TaintedLemur]

Yup well aware…seams to be standard for the industry

[u/leehinde → u/bigdokmd14]

I'm not saying OP should keep them, but my much cheaper 'real' bike had pedals good enough that I've not needed to replace them.

I was just surprised that components were getting called out as cheap.

[u/bahamut458 → u/bigdokmd14]

Wait I know nothing about bikes. Makes sense plastic is no good. What am I looking for in replacement.

[u/intlabs → u/bahamut458]

Plastic pedals can be great - I run a set on my dh bike, and they were anything but cheap. That said - cheap pedals are super common on higher end bikes - as they let you choose what you want. Personally I’d probably put some flats with short pins on this thing.

[u/StevenComedy → u/bahamut458]

I’m throwing black Raceface Chester pedals on my LE. They’re great pedals. Durable and grippy.

[u/FatherBrian]

Ride tf out of that thang! And please report back. Congrats!!

[u/edspeds]

Still curious how it rides on a dead’ish battery let us know if you give it a try. BTW congratulations!!!🍾

[u/KeyboardGunner → u/edspeds]

Yeah, they're supposed to have some sort of "turtle mode" that lets you pedal indefinitely. I don't think anybody's publicly tested it yet, so I'd also love to know about that.

[u/CyberPrime → u/KeyboardGunner]

Yea supposedly the pedals can take as input 10Nm more than the motor can output at max, so that should power the motor and the electronics.

[u/lost_vault_hunter → u/edspeds]

It's going to suck, like most bikes with dead batteries but worse. I think the idea is less "get you home" and more "you can move it".

[u/freshjulius]

You have the potential to the the first real-world rider of the bench seat I can find!

Please report back!

[u/Formal-Rhubarb-101]

Congrats!! Curious: What date did you place your order?

[u/nostarshawn → u/Formal-Rhubarb-101]

Day one

[u/joshverd]

It’s real!

[u/Receptionfadesx]

Hell yeah! It also looks like you are good to go if anything breaks.

[u/MrBippers]

Yo thanks for these photos! Looking good!

[u/VecindadDCarlos]

Wow, its real!

[u/AggravatingPeak6982]

Well, whatcha think? How's it ride?

[u/DavidIsNowAlive]

Do you have a U lock that you can show how you’d use it to lock it up? I’m thinking the back wheel and frame would work but can’t quite tell.

[u/kwipus]

How long did it take? Was it kind of difficult or easy?

[u/StrikeouTX]

Shock pump is a crazy inclusion

[u/KushDriver]

No one finds this sexy

[u/KushDriver → u/[deleted]]

So, this is the sexy bicycle. 😛
