   It’s the greatest bike for the price. It’s rock soild frame, powerful mid drive motor, great front suspension. Got over 500 miles plus, not one hiccup. Dirt trails, asphalt, gravel, steep inclines. No problem. Yet to try sand and snow. All you got to do is keep up on maintenance, clean the chain. And it’s happy biking.

   I am 58 years old, and I’d give this bike 6 stars if I could. I think it is the best bike you can buy for the money. The Ultra Max motor has outstanding power and the torque sensor makes biking feel much more natural than the cadence style PAS. I have been on 40 mile rides on paved bike trails and had about 20% battery power left. This was mostly using pedal assist 2 and 3 on mostly level rides with a few hills.
   I use the front basket for groceries along with the rear basket that I added. The rear rack is nice in that it has a second set of narrower side bars for rear side bags. This bike has convinced my best friend and a close cousin to buy kits to convert their bikes to ebikes. If you are considering a fat tire ebike, get this one. I searched the internet for months before I settled on this one. It is the best bike for the money.

   This ebike is awesome! Unbelievably quick for its size / weight thanks to the the mid-drive 1000w Bafang motor. It is a torque monster, especially when you hit the throttle in lower gears at lower speeds. Hold on tight to those handlebars! I noticed it actually can pull well above 1000w so that must be the regular running watts and not peak. It can peak a bit higher and is conservatively rated unlike some other ebikes that advertise peak watts. The color screen is awesome and bright and easy to read, even at high speeds. It can be changed to miles / mph instead of km / kmph. It allows you to switch between 5 levels of pedal assist, but there is also sport and eco modes with 5 levels each so it’s more like 10 levels. I tend to ride it around Florida (flat roads) in pedal assist 5 in eco mode and that allows me to easily cruise around 20mph without having to pedal hard while still getting good range (30 miles). I’m sure you could get much farther in the lower pas modes, but I like having at least a 20mph breeze in my face. (It’s hot here in FL in the summer!) Whenever I get a small hill or want a little boost I’ll switch to sport mode and the thing just takes off, getting to 30mph plus pretty quickly. In sport mode when you get below 50% battery, it will sometimes cut the power way down to like 500w. I would assume this has to do with the lower voltage as the battery drains and what you are trying to demand. If you leave it in eco mode though (even at level 5), it will more consistently pull up to 1000w well below 50% battery level and doesn’t cut the power at all. (I’ve run it down below 20% before charging and it never cut out. It comes with a headlight and taillight that run off the battery power which is nice. With the lights turned off from the main controller, the taillight still comes on when you hit either brake, just like a car / motorcycle brake light. I added a second much brighter headlight though for riding at night after my first nighttime ride, as I wanted longer visibility for the higher speeds. Between the fat tires and the front shock, it soaks up bumps really well for a smooth comfortable ride. I did upgrade the seat but the one it comes with isn’t bad. The Tektro hydraulic disc brakes are awesome for slowing this heavy bike down, even from higher speeds. I was very impressed. I’ve had it just over 2 months and it has held up really well with the 215 miles I’ve accumulated. The only thing that happened to me was the kickstand foot fell off the end. The screw likely just loosened up without me realizing. Customer service said they would check to see where I could get a replacement part or if they had one to sell me, but then I was disappointed they never got back to me as promised. I work in client service myself and was underwhelmed with the responses I received. For a cheap part like a kickstand, it would have gone a long way if they just offered to send a replacement considering this was a larger purchase. I wouldn’t let that stop you from buying this bike though. I searched for a long time and it is a tremendous value for the price they are asking. I’d buy it again in a heartbeat, regardless if the service. I ended up finding the replacement kickstand at REI for something like $25 or $30, but it was difficult to locate an exact replacement, and the replacement I found wasn’t threaded for the top two holes like the original. I ended up just taking the foot from the new one and moving it back to the original kickstand top. You’ll want to keep the chain well lubed as mid drive ebikes will wear the chain / rear cassette faster than a regular bike or hub drive. The rear rack is great for the Ortlieb pannier bags I added and they grab either the upper or lower bars great for easy removal and reattaching. I could go on and on about this bike but the review is already getting a bit lengthy so I will just leave you with this. BUY IT!!!! YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!!! Also, buying on EBay was a great option to take advantage of 0% financing for 24 months with Paypal Credit.

   Very powerful hill climbing ability box was torn and a piece to steer column missing but not problem free shipping saved hundreds. Tires go flat easily but are top rated tires. If front shock was better I’d give it five stars.

    HUNTING: If you are thinking about using a 1,000W ebike as a hunting rig, I can say that the 1,000w “Black Matte” bike is perfect for hauling a trailer with a blind and turkey decoys at speeds of 15 mph to 20 mph on flat ground. It goes up hills like crazy, even with a 100 pound trailer and a 250 lb man. It would haul a big buck out on my child bicycle trailer with no issues. Buy it. You will not regret it. I got the camo one and wow is it awesome looking. I also built a metal trailer hitch which comes off the back flat rack and slopes down to the hitch. I rode 4 miles out and set up a blind and decoys, and then rode out. Battery was around 60%… the next morning I rode in at 21 mph without the trailer and was there in no time! My brother got the 750 watt bike in camo as well and loves it. His is considerably lighter than mine and doesn’t seem to go quite as fast. Anyone wondering if this is a good thing for tree stands, checking cameras, hauling gear, I can tell you that yes, it is!

    I bought the F1000, great bike. Do your research this bike has the bafang Ultra 1000w. To get this motor in Rambo, Backou, Quiet Kat or others you’ll need to buy their top of the line model and spend from $4000 to $7000 .
    This bike comes with full metal fenders heavy duty front basket and rear rack that is integrated into the bike, its part of the frame.

    Great bike, I did a ton of research before my purchase and knew I wanted a 1000 watt Bafang Ultra middrive bike. But to get that motor in a Rambo or QuietKat or Backou its $6000/$7000.
    This is my hunting bike and I dont really need to go 30mph so I dropped the front chain ring size from 46 tooth to 40 tooth. It still goes 28mph and climbs any hill you can climb on foot. Great brakes, great battery.

    10 stars easy I’ve had the F 1000 for two weeks it has done everything that I hoped it would do the main purpose is for hunting I use it to haul blinds tree stands Check trail cameras 90% of the time I am on combine trails but 10% I go off trail and it handles it just fine this is probably the best hunting purchase I have ever made I can now go farther into the woods with way less energy expended and sweat build up I hunt public land so I have the controller turned down to 750 watts and it still climbs no problem and easily pulls a game sled loaded with gear The detailer
    did break but when I contacted customer service they were extremely helpful I snapped a photo emailed it to them and they shipped out a new one that day I then noticed that the chain got a twist I contacted Michael at customer service and he said they were on back order but if I bought one they would reimburse me the next day they was able to ship one out so 10 stars for customer service I think you just need to be careful when shifting I now turn pedal assist down before shifting You can buy with confidence that you are getting great service and a great product The only concern is the derailer but that can be easily upgraded at home or any bike shop but it may never be a problem again just make sure that if you go deep into the woods to pack a tool kit including a chain break once the derailer broke I shortened the chain and turned it into a one speed to get back to the truck very easy field fix this bike makes it so I want to go do all the prep work for a good hunting season it’s fun to ride and makes doing hunting chores fun just remember to ride within your limits because this bike can make you feel like superman and you could easily get yourself in trouble like going to fast for a corner or too steep of a Climb/Dissent I cannot think of one bad thing to say about this bike or BPM imports should I ever need to I will buy from them again ??
