Cool bike. I now have Xiaomi QiCycle EF1 Electric Bike.
I will share my feelings from the bike. Hope this helps someone.
The bike is really convenient, for me it has become an indispensable means of transportation for my work in maxhomework where I write articles and reviews, and from work home - where I relax and gain strength, despite the small diameter (16 inches) of wheels and low frame. You sit on it in a natural pose, the back does not get tired. You do not have to lift your head up to look ahead (as happened on sports bikes that you rented), but landing does not look like a city bike. This is not a hulking urban great. I would compare it with a strange version of BMX for non-extremes. With a growth of 182 cm, I first raised the seat by a maximum (slightly higher than the steering wheel), but then I read the instructions and set the height along the ruler (20 cm) on the tube under the hanger. Sit comfortably and comfortably, the bike feels very confident and natural.
Disadvantages: It is heavy and still not very compact when folded. At least, not as compact as it seems from commercials. For storage on the balcony or transportation in the trunk of its folding design fits perfectly. But to fold, take in hand and quietly bring into the office, putting under the table will not work - it fits, but this is how to bring a microwave to work. In general, if you think well about the storage space, you can not fold it - it is conveniently placed in the office in the unfolded form, it is easier to lift and, if the elevator is large, it is more convenient to carry it. In the unfolded form, by the way, it looks very compact and stylish.
Comment:
The appearance of the bike is excellent, albeit weird. But some rejection does not cause, quite the contrary. The rear red light is bright and, in addition to its main function, it gives the bike a certain gloss. Mudguards just need to buy. Materials and all parts of the bike are made surprisingly (although I was stunned) with high quality and thoughtful. Nothing looks lax or unreliable. Unless matte paint is very easily scratched.
Before that, I didn’t ride electric bikes and I must say that it is amazing! A small motor standing on the front wheel, in maximum mode, simply pulls the bike along with you forward. Honestly, I can not even imagine who will drive at maximum speed. It, perhaps, can be turned on when climbing up a very steep hill or while riding on sand. It's nice to know that 45 km on one charge is not a marketing ploy. The distance was measured on the average mode and, as it turned out, this is the most optimal mode for the bike. Although for simple walks around the city, you can use "ECO".
Gear shifting works really very gently and helps a lot when traveling (on roads and on slides). Pedaling is nice and easy. Think about the constant switching speeds is not necessary. They are three, they switch gently and at any time - just ride, in general. A little about the computer: it is all in Chinese, but this does not prevent its use. One button includes a rear light, the other a rear light and a headlight. Switching modes of the motor is available while driving, as well as trip statistics. There’s nothing more to see there - all this is understandable, there are no problems. I joined the phone (on iOS) without any problems, all the statistics are stored on the bike - everything is beautiful and convenient, but there are few functions, it makes no sense to look there more than once a week. I have not charged the battery yet. Charging, by the way, is surprisingly light - you can carry it with you in your backpack.
