I bought 2 of these one year ago in may or june of "21. We've taken these bikes EVERYWHERE! They work awesome on the beach as long as you're on packed sand. We live near Santos trails in Ocala Florida, awesome off road and paved trail systems here!. Excellent on wagon trails (dirt, packed dirt), not so friendly in soft sand so sugar sand or dry beach sand is almost impossible. We have logged hundreds and hundreds of miles on the Legacy Trail system in Sarasota Florida as well, mostly paved. We did attempt some real trail riding but found that the tires could NOT handle the rough surfaces like stones or branches. We had one incident where my front tire blew when we were 10 miles out. The large tires actually give you some shock absorption but we added new seat posts with springs and better seats. We have NEVER run out of battery! Not even close. Usually on 3 assist level and ride at a constant 10 to 12 mph ALL day long. I load both bikes on a luggage platform on the back of my F150. These bikes have been from Florida to Massachusetts and back. By far one of the best recreational toys we have ever owned! We often use them when we visit new towns or places. It allows you to travel and see large areas very quickly without getting exhausted!
The bikes fold up easily once you get used to the system. There is no fear of the bike collapsing or breaking once locked into position. These are extremely solid bikes. I've replaced both tires on one bike, and done the usual adjustments to the brakes, cables, etc. Basic bike skills allowed me to change the tires and tubes myself. I would bring it to a shop if you're not handy. The bike has built in safety features on the brakes and throttle that you wouldn't want to mess with. I wish the bike had the lights included but you can have a kit installed if you want. I use typical battery operated ones. The only other thing to mention is that the bikes are not overly heavy and taking the batteries out to carry helps. But they're pretty heavy to lift. We figured out a way to actually roll them while folded. I would say that these bikes are a 10/10. We are often stopped on the trail when people see us to inquire about them. We added really cool racks to hold all our gear when we go fossil hunting or bird watching. You can peddle as much or as little as you want and as hard or as easily as you want. It couldn't be any easier! You CANNOT beat the price for what you get. Exceeds all expectations!

Shipping was super fast and the packing was secure and tidy. Was easy to finish assembly with the included tools, and then only needed some fine tuning on the brakes. I really like the quality and feel of this e-bike, you can't beat the value. I really like the pedal assist with the option of using the twist throttle like a moped. The only issue is, the included front reflector does not fit well and I gave up installing it. I'll be using a headlight anyways. You can add a rear rack which I will be doing. If you plan to replace the seat you will also need a post.

My wife bought an Ecotric a couple of years ago and convinced me to get one. These bikes are affordable and have been totally trouble free. If you want a fun way to get exercise but want the battery to fall back on, this is the bike to have. We are snow birds and haul the folding bikes north and south each year.

This is my second purchase of an Ecotric 20" Fat Tire Portable Folding Electric Bike. I chose this bike due to it's functionality, size, and cost. It has exceeded all of my expectations. It's perfect for folding and putting in the back of a car. It has an amazing amount of power. The battery lasts forever. And let's be honest, it's the slickest looking bike on the market. To top it off, both of the bikes I purchased arrived within 7 days. I highly recommend purchasing this e-bike.
