A complete waste, i bought the product relying on the startup but its a complete waste. The finish is bad and the battery doesn't hold up. The technical team doesn't address the issue

Excellent Ebike.I am using it to commute to office daily for a distance of 19kms. Its been 5 days started using it and i am loving the each ride. Every time i need to go out i am inclined to go by ebike instead of my petrol bike.Here is my complete review.Research:When i got the idea of commute to office through bicycle which can be adding fitness myself (considering my laziness to go for walk or gym), I feared of the uphills which are many in way to office. later i came to know that there are electric bicycles in market which will serve my purpose.I look for different branded ebikes like hero lactro, which are high in price. and check for spero and others which doesn't look to be a good looking bicycle. I even thought of getting parts from chaina and assemble here. But the price including shipping going beyond my budget.I have contacted different vendors in india and i got pretty good response from light speed.Firstly i liked the bottle type battery and inbuilt controller which will looks awesome. And rear hub motor looks to be good design. So i proffered lightspeed.Delivery:The delivery took around 6 days to hyderabad once i placed the order.And all the parts came with good packing. No damage to items. Looks team took much care in packaging.Fitting:The fitting is very easy. 95% assembly is done at seller part only. I just need to fit front wheel, handle adjustment and pedal fitting. Which is just 10 to 1 5mins job. Finally attached the battery. Ready to go..Quick and easy assembly.First ride:i took the bicycle to out and started the bicycle with pedal assist 1, i feel the assistance and tried all the modes 1-5, great feeling..Throttle works great. the throttle will work only if the pedal assist mode is between 1 to 5. that's good i feel.as if wanted to do pure bicycle i can keep in pedal assist to 0 and bicycle. i can see all the info on screen. so no need to turn off the electric parts for manual pedaling. good option.First ride to office:My way is having some slopes and one of it has a decent uphill slope (may be around 20-25 degree), i am able to reach up with some peddling, not difficult. The best part is when i stopped in traffic at signals, To start i use throttle and pedaling both and it moves just like my petrol bike.overall it as taking 35 mins to my office (around 9.5 kms) where as on my petrol bike it will be 25mins. so i feel the time wise i am good.Max speed: The Max speed is limited to 25kmph which is a limitation by Indian law's. The bicycle is able to reach to max speed easily, but once it cross 25kmps the motor power cuts off and i need to pedal hard to go further speed.i figure out a way to increase the max speed limit got it from youtube. i made the limit to Max speed of 40kmph. and then tried.This time bike reached to a max speed of 32 kmph. which is a very good speed. motor can not allow further speed as it is the limitation of 250W motor. (in theory 250W motor can have max rpm of 300, so 300 rpm with 26inch tyre can go a max speed around 35kmph).Just for testing purpose i change the max speed to 40kmph, Again reverted to 25kmph to be safe with regulations.Positive points:1) Looks great..2) Removable battery is a very nice design.3) The front LED headlight brightness is very good4) Pedal assist and throttle is working seamlessly.5) Easy liver for seat lift6) Easy liver for front Tyre removal.7) Decent battery life. i feel bike can go ~40kms only with throttle. yet to do a full battery testing. 40kms my assumption with battery level, i went 20kms with first two bars. with level 1 to 2 we can easily reach to 50kms range.Negative Points:1) The front and read disk breaks are not tuned properly, which needs manual adjustment2) Seating should have more cushion, i am thinking of buying a seat cover.Issues:1) Adjusting the Disk breaks took some time, once fine tuned they work good2) My left pedal crank was loosen, the problem is with faulty bolt, once replaced in local bicycle shop everything goes fine.Overall: It is a value for money product.One last thing: Do we really need gears to the Ebike? Have this question in mind while purchasing, light speed team told me that digital gears will do all the jobs better than physical gears before purchased. once i tried the bicycle what ever they said it is true. for e-bike physical gears are not an great advantage (same i heard from other dryft owner).

The product description is not matching with the original, battery range is from 40-55 while it is in 1-2 pedal assist mode. Battery charging cycle will be around 400 maximum. After 1.5 years of usage the range comes around 35-40 kms for single charge in city condition in 1-2 pedal assist mode not on full throttle.

The bicycle used in the product is very basic and below average. The front suspension is from a kids bike, the disc brakes will start giving issues within months of usage. The frame itself is very crudely welded. Other than the electric components, the bicycle itself is not worth more than INR 8000. This is too much of daylight robbery for an electric bicycle. Othe the other hand, Roulik Inizio uses much better bicycle in their product which has proper suspension, though average but better disc brakes, much better gearing combinations everything more elegantly integrated for the same price. If someone is trying to decide between the two, I would say Inizio is much better choice. (however both the models are overpriced but among the two, Inizio is better).P.S. am not associated with either brands, review is purely from experience and observations.

good bike, good looks, great battery life , makes a great gift, wish we had better roads and less pollution

Few months back, I rode an Electric bicycle (Limitless) in Hyderabad. Comparing with the power, battery life, charging time and the accessories they are providing with the cycle, i felt that one is far better then this. The motor power is not enough to ride even on slight steep roads. And the quality of the body is just OK. In the description the max speed is mentions as 25Kms/h, but it works only on slope roads. on normal roads you can get the max speed of 22Kms/h. Apart from that i received the battery with is not working properly. There are so many benefits with electric bicycles, But i feel it is not worth to spend 46K for this.
