I really love this bike. It's a little bit harder suspension than I expected. I have been very jarred when I hit potholes but it's exceeded my expectations in every other way. I absolutely love it and it's bought real joy into my life. For the price I could absolutely forgive it not having decent suspension to be honest. I certainly wouldn't be riding trail on it! But for road riding and bike paths and even reasonably smooth dirt it's proved admirable.
I admit I zip along at max speed as I use it mostly for commuting... Actually I use it all for commuting at this stage up to 50 km a day. The battery is usually on one bar by the time I do this, I pedal all the time as fast as I can, often just because that's what I'm used to and I can actually get a little bit of a workout (higher HR) that way by spinning the legs!
The headlight is really good and I like that the tail light comes on when you brake... The little horn is also quite loud for warning people when you're coming past.
My bike shop said they recommend me bring it in for service after 1000 K and that I will probably go through the tyres quite quickly and the service at least initially will cost about $100 or so... With this in mind, it may not end up being all that economical if price of fuel wasn't so high but it also saves wear and tear on one's motor vehicle and just being outside feeling the wind and sun in your face is delightful... Especially when you're not sweating at the same time ha ha !
Brakes are so-so but as an experienced writer with also so many decades of riding motorbikes in the past I'm fairly astute at reading conditions. I could see this being a trap for the unwary though, especially at the speeds they can go.
I'm a 63-year-old female who used to do a lot of sports but has got a little lazier in the last year or so... And my mountain bike had been sitting with flat tyres in the garage for probably two ! This bike definitely has made me enjoy riding again! I'm so very happy I bought this bike and I think it's really good value for money. I have had it for about six weeks I guess and done 500 km on it. I bought a second battery just in case I need that and I'm having trouble charging the other one and I think that's a good thing to do personally.
Fantastic Customer Service, amazing bike especially for the price. I'd buy a second bike in the future for sure. Thankyou guys for such a fun ride! The S600 has surpassed all my expectations on what an E Bike can be to get me out and about again :)
Very happy with this purchase
Had a couple of questions in regards to assembly and received fast helpful assistance
Can’t believe the distance I’m getting on one battery
Rear suspension a bit stiff for me but what a great all round bit of gear
Great bike, had to go into settings & tone the take off down, it was a bit lively off the mark, also dropped the max speed down to 25 km just in case, but can increase both when off a govt roads. Definitely worth the money compared to other brands, super easy to assemble as most of it comes ready.
Got 2 of these as a husband and wife activity to do together. It was delivered quite quickly, fairly easy to put together and is heaps of fun to ride. Quite powerful too. Happy with our purchase
apart from a small dent in the helmet during shipping everything else arrived in good order. bike went together without any issues and I am very happy with this purchase.
The Bike was packed very well and very simple easy to assemble. Instructions were very intuitive.
My first ride consisted of a 36 kph ride using all PAS modes, using only the rear drive unit. Road and paths. No off road use were used. The rear & front suspension could have adjustments on them to get the best ride.
Very happy with my purchase. of the two S600s
Came in on expected time which was great and the service from merkx is great!! As for the bike easy to put together and ive added some extras on it too, love this bike lots of torque and solid!
