VITILAN V3 2.0 1200W Foldable Electric Bike, 48V 624Wh Electric Bicycle, Max 28 MPH, 40+ Miles Long Range Ebike for Adults, 20" Folding Fat Tire E Bike for Commute, Mountains, Snow, Street

We bought 2 of these in 2022, and i swear the battery has not lost any function. They have never really been drained past halfway so that might have something to do with it. We still have the original tires mounted so that should let you know we aren't heavy users. All in all it drives just like a bicycle that you can pedal or not. A person under 200lbs will have no problem hitting 38-40mph with wind or gravity assist. My fat ass maxs around 32 mph which is fine by me. We took them with us on vacation and the folding feature made that possible. Was nice riding them around FL. Nothing has broken to date. I noticed these are now $500 cheaper then when i bought ours...

We are owners of four e-bikes. This one is my primary ride. I added mirrors and changed the saddle to a wider, shock absorbing type that my 70 year-old bottom prefers. I added aux lighting for night riding. Not to see, but to be seen. This e-bike has been flawless. I have ridden it on primitive trails, through deep sand and rough terrain. It excels on paved surfaces as well. Fast (29 mph via GPS) and handles well. My rough terrain riding led me to reinforce the front fender mounting. I fabricated and installed a stainless steel bracket. Was this necessary? In my case, probably. Most folks will not subject their bike to what I do. Other than this "upgrade", the bike has been perfect. I specifically wanted cast aluminum wheels. These require much less maintenance and greater durability. It folds and we carry it in our midsize pickup to distant locations for a day or more of exploring. Performance... Typically, riding in PAS 1, I can ride 10 miles and still have 80% of the battery remaining. That indicates a range of up to 50 miles. Naturally, if you run on electric only or zip around in PAS 5, that range will be substantially less. Perhaps 35 to 40 miles on electric, at higher speeds. I pedal whenever possible. Speeds, verified by GPS, are PAS 1: 16 mph. PAS 2: 19 mph. PAS 3: 22 mph. PAS 4: 26 mph and PAS 5: 29 mph. Maximum speeds are affected by winds. Headwinds slow you some, tail winds speed you up a mph or two. Hills... I live on the coast of east central Florida. We have gentle inclines.. No hills. However, when we take the bikes out of state, I have found that it handles hills well. 750 Watts gets the task done. Expect tires to last 1,500 to 2,000 miles if you ride on pavement, longer life if much time is spent on dirt. Those 4" fat tires are very good off road and more than adequate on paved surfaces. Set the tire pressures to 20 psi and they do a good job of absorbing bumps. Higher pressures will stiffen the ride and increase tire wear.This Vitilan V3 gets my recommendation. Very well equipped with features and rock-like durability. Comfortable. Fun. Value priced.Edit: At 1,730 miles. My rear tire was down to about 30% of the original tread depth. I had already bought a replacement tire and tube, when I got a puncture on a rough bike trail. Very slight leak, but enough to require repair. So, mounted a new tire and tube. See photos for other upgrades. I fabricated and installed a front fender brace. Our off road trail riding is hard on things that flex under the shock and load. This brace prevents excess flexing of the attachment brackets. I added a suspension seat post, which helps to smooth out otherwise harsh bumps. Carry a small plastic bag with you when you ride. If you should get caught in rain, use the bag to cover the display. It is splashproof, but not rainproof. My V3 is going strong... Very pleased overall.Update: 2,461 miles. Still going strong. After replacing the worn rear tire, I discovered that the tire required balancing. No matter how I rotated the tire relative to the wheel, there was a low frequency oscillation. This is a tire issue, not a bike issue. I removed the rear wheel assembly and balanced it statically. I used a stick-on weight cut to size and weight. This eliminated the problem. Not all aftermarket tires are created equal. If you must replace a tire, buy the original equipment CST brand. I will do so next time. Brake pads are nearing their useful life. Inexpensive and easy to replace. One last thing... Periodically, check tightness on brake rotor screws. Mine loosened over time. I removed each, applied a little Blue Loctite (do not use Red), and they have remained tight since. Be diligent with maintenance. Check tire pressure weekly. Lubricate the chain monthly. Check that pedals are tight. The factory pedals bearings will wear and loose. Replace the pedals if you find excessive slop in the bearings. Again, inexpensive and easy to do. I weigh 210 lbs. Riding off road, I frequently stand on the pedals. This causes considerable stress on them. They not not engineered for bearing that much weigh so often. Most folks never stand on pedals, and likely will not experience this issue. Also, some mountain bike trails have jumps, where the bike may become airborne. Do Not Jump a Folding Bike! The frame lock is not engineered for that severe pounding. I assure you, the warranty will not cover obvious abuse, and that is absolutely abuse.

For me it's a wow!!! Love it period . I get so many compliments !!!! And it performs great!!👍🏽✌🏾.Best part for me anyway is being able to adjust the speed initially it only got up to 24mph I turn it up a little so now it's moves like I want it to!! Note if you do this adjustment the battery will go down faster as well but it works for me!!!!

I've only ridden it once so far, so I'll be coming back to update this after I've had more time on it.The instructions make it sound like the acceleration is going to be too much to handle, but to me it just seems like a good level. Especially if you start out at PAS1.The electric assist stops just after you stop pedaling, and the brakes have excellent stopping power.I never took the bike out of 7th gear. The acceleration feels very intuitive and smooth. I think I saw someone else also pointed out that the setting defaults to the wrong wheel size so the displayed speed was a bit higher and what it actually was, but that's easily corrected in the settings. I also found the setting to set the max speed to comply with local laws.My first ride was just under 3 mi. I'm eager to take it out for a longer ride to really test out the range.---UPDATE---I did another short ride, bringing the total to just over 5mi. I didn't charge between rides bc the manual said to completely deplete the battery between charges. Towards the end of this ride, I saw a significant decrease in acceleration. I tried PAS and throttle, and both were severely reduced. (this wasn't up a steep hill, either)---UPDATE---Took it for another short ride, and acceleration was back to normal. I was able to get it up to top speed for both PAS and straight throttle.--update--I was only able to get in about 24mi before the battery was totally depleted. Tbf, I ride close to top speed all the time and I even took it up a few steep hills.I think one could possibly get 40mi of range of you stayed below 25mph and avoided steep hills. For me, I think the most I'll get is 30mi on a single charge, which is acceptable.--update 9/6 --the rear brake has been squealing loudly most of the time I've owned this, but I had just been using the front brake to slow down and fortunately haven't needed to stop suddenly. Support gave some suggestions to fix, but nothing worked, so I ended up taking it to a bike shop for adjustment. The brakes are very low quality, and I'll probably be replacing them with hydraulic brakes eventually.

My bike did tip the scales at 65lb's or so . Prefer a single battery on an E-bike for the relatively short distances I ride and for the weight savings . 32mph top speed as advertised . Lots of torque in the motor . The bike is holding up well and expect many more miles on her . I think it is a quality piece that is worth the $. Would recommend this E-bike.
