Nice little video here. For me, the interesting points were the helmet with visor and lights, and the Maxima that can have a legal twist and go throttle. I think it would suit some people that have been asking on here.

The problem with these sort of videos is that they're all about riding the bikes, not about owning them. Where are you going to get them serviced? What happens when they go wrong out of warranty? How much is a replacement battery? How likely is it that a replacement battery will be available when you need it? Also, it's always a 60kg super-fit rider testing them, so unrealistic statements about range and hill-climbing for middle-aged beer belly riders, who's only exercise is with their right arm.

I enjoy watching the Electroheads channel on youtube but they are a reseller of more premium ebikes and of course that is reflected in their content. I personally don't find their recommendations useful at all. The recent video where they went to Italy and that brand stated it was Italian designed and manufactured but just about everything about their bikes was made in Asia including the Taiwanese designed motor system. The so called factory was just an assembly plant of parts from Asia and the pricing obviously above typically Asian assembled bikes. It annoys me when they kept saying Pedibal were the first to have approved twist and go throttle ebikes when we know Wisper was doing it before them. It was pointed out in the comments but ignored they didn't care about giving out accurate information at all. Ultimately its about marketing not accuracy and this presenter is used extensively on the Pedibal site.

What you are looking at is not a pro ebike channel trying to give you accurate information it is a ebike shop trying to sell you ebikes. I've lost count how many times I've been lied to in bike shops with misleading information because they wanted to make the sale and this feels just the same but on youtube.
