Adequate
Only 2 grievances I have are
1. when the app shows that a bike is near and then there’s no bike. 2. Says there’s a full battery and then I try to go up a hill and there’s clearly no battery charge.
The first is much more common than the second.
Overall, it gets you around. Especially downhill.

Took a nice spin Lakeside and a lovely evening last day of summer
Horrible bikes
Company scams people by having their bikes not work
110% adequate
We took these on a 25ish mile journey from Cass Park, up the Black Diamond Trail, over to Bet the Farm Winery, down to Cayuga Lake, through the Cayuga Nature Center, then back to the trail and Cass Park. The trip was phenomenal.
The bike? In general: The bike is 110% adequate.
The positive: The bike was relatively comfortable and everything was functional (for the most part), the motor is powerful, and the battery lasted!
The bad: BRAKES!!!! The brakes on my bike needed far more strength than they ought to have; especially considering the hills in and around Ithaca.
My wife was absolutely terrified going down some of the hills. We swapped bikes and I found her front brakes severely lacking power.
Did they stop the bike? Yes…given enough space; But if there was a need to stop abruptly, it wouldn’t have happened.
Preference: I would have preferred some control over the motor’s power. We both found that the only time our legs were doing any of the work was on the uphills. As a result it felt like more of a motor bike than a pedal-assisted bike.
Would I do it again? Yes. But definitely a with helmets next time.
