http://electricbikereview.com/prodeco/phantom-x3/ A well rounded, capable and affordable electric bike offering smooth power from a 500 watt gearless rear hub motor, lots of range with 38.4 volt 16 amp hour battery pack and high end hydraulic disc brakes and RockShox suspension fork with lockout.

Lower end? $1800? Dang

How about a wind screen on that mic?

Whats up with your voice? Fagot?

Love your video as always. You always provide a great full review. I just started looking into this bike and it has thrown a monkey wrench in my plan which was to install a D 500 bionx kit on my 05 specialized hardrock sport. I've test ridden a d 500 and loved it but the 2500 price tag is a bit of a turn off for me. The phantom to me is a whole bike with decent power for a great price too. I would mostly like a e bike to be able to commute to work which is 15 miles each way in nyc. If you were me, what would you decide ? If you could afford both? Your input would be greatly appreciated thanks

yep , backwards engineering. Put the battery behind the rear wheel. fit it high up.
2015 and some actually still think this is IT ? This bike is the YUGOZASTAWA of cars

yay

your mike sucks

You sound like a real authority on these. I've found that cutting a piece from a cheap foam (not cellulose) sponge and placed over the microphone works really well for a wind screen. If the mic is integral to the camera and works a small hole on the surface of the camera you can tape a piece (if there's room for tape) or use a little hot glue or silicone to adhere it. If you have an external mic use a small block of the sponge and cut a slit in it to act as a "pocket" for the mic to fit into. Nice review, though. Your presentation comes off as natural conversation that reminds me of Ira Glass of This American Life. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ira_Glass BTW, I'm not associated with any media production so my advice is amateur (with intelligent experience) and my opinions my own. Thanks!

Why do you have the seat set for a tall person when you are only 5'9" your legs would have to be 4' + to reach the pedals!

get a mic with a wind screen or something... please.

Would be possible to disassemble the battery, and put all the battery and controller part's into a custom center frame bag, like you see on the highest quality bikes? Also great channel, I've been using it everyday while searching for a bike. Thanks

I have this bike its awsome more then enough power dont have to pedal at all if you dont want to even up some pretty steap hills, the seat is small/hard so best to get a gel cruiser seat,sespension is pretty good best to just leave it on firm imo
the brakes are quite no squeeling like some disc brakes, got mine from amazon last year $1600 delivered to the door totally worth it.

thanks good vid, I have an X2 ,,love it!

Mine is good had a few issues ( I have the X2) but still almost the same bike. My main issue now is that the back rim dented and no it rides bumby. I'm hoping they replace considering the hub motor is fine, maybe they will satisfy a minor exchange when I bring it up to them at Prodeco Warranty.

I've been riding mine for almost a year. Loved it from day one. It is perfect for getting around town, but my favorite is off road. I'm not doing jumps but I go through fields in 4 foot gras & rough trails.. I don't notice the higher center of gaveity after only a few hours. The hub adds weight lower off setting some of the battery. Finally the handle bar is adjustable adding up to six inches. I am about to try studded snow tires and let you know the outcome.

How would you compare this to the Outlaw, comfort and power wise? Always good videos. Good job.

Thanks... I know the wind sound sucks, I try to get a bunch of different angles and have been considering a GoPro :)

you should buy a go pro

I've never had issues like that on mine...my issue was potholes...going 30mph into one battery slipped an flew off slid 50 ft no issues getting fixed.....keep in mind all foldable bikes are not meant for big time dirt trails or curbs.....the x2 is basically for commuting-dirt roads not trail riding

Thanks for the feedback Larry, I have not had the chance to try the Phantom X2 but it sounds like you've had several challenges with yours. Are you within the two year warranty? Have they offered to fix or replace some of these breaking parts for you?
