This Bike is Sporty, Affordable, and Dependable!With so many eBikes on the market that cost way more and come with a ton of confusing features, the Z8 stands out by giving consumers exactly what they want: the essentials, at a price that doesn’t break the bank. No extra markups, no fluff—just the good stuff we can all agree on.Assembly ExperiencePutting this bike together? Not bad at all. I only had to attach the light, kickstand, wheel, and a couple of other bits. Total time? About 45 minutes. Big props to the company for taking the extra care to wrap everything so well. Did I enjoy snipping all that wrapping? Hell no. But do I appreciate the effort? You bet.Could they have inflated the tires for me. Dealbreaker? Nah.Hey, Riding’Times, if you’re listening: Why didn’t you add front turn signals? It’d make the bike even safer—just saying.Suspension and PerformanceI’m a 6’1", 250-pound guy, and the suspension did its job. The front shocks felt a little springy but handled bumps well and held up as promised.Riding’Times, if you're still here: what’s with the Photon Beam? I get the need for light, but could we at least have the ability to tone it down a bit?But hey, I’ll take that over a weak light any day. Side note: Are these LEDs?The RideHere’s the bottom line: this bike performs and rides as advertised. It’s affordable, reliable, and, most importantly, fun as hell. Did I mention it can hit 38 mph on a straightaway? *update I was reading this in Kmh not mph*If you’re still reading this, why the hell are you still waiting? Waiting for your HOA president to approve the color you picked to paint your house? Forget about it. Buy the bike. Feel the wind in your hair and have the riding time of your life exploring a whole new world.*UPDATE*Firstly, the bike itself is fantastic and offers a great riding experience. However, my experience with the company behind it leaves much to be desired. The representatives, who I initially believed had the best interests of their customers at heart, unfortunately, did not meet those expectations.Controller ConcernsOne of the most crucial aspects to consider when purchasing this bike is the controller. I initially believed that the e-bike would utilize its full potential, but I was mistaken. The controller was not up to par, which became evident during my rides. Despite the bike providing a memorable experience, I noticed the motor struggled to reach its intended speed, as if something was holding it back. Upon investigation, I identified the controller as the issue and reached out to the company, hoping for a fair and open dialogue.Regrettably, while previous interactions with the company were positive, they avoided addressing this particular issue. No one likes being ignored when trying to give the company a chance to rectify a problem. Unfortunately, the representatives did not take the time to investigate the situation and instead chose to evade the issue.Performance on Flat TerrainThe bike can easily reach 20 mph, but getting to 28 mph on a flat road proved challenging. Despite having a 1500W peak motor, the bike struggled to achieve the desired speed due to the inadequate controller. With the lower-rated controller, the bike could only reach 20-24 mph, and while weight is a factor, it should still perform better.Acceleration was not optimal, and the motor struggled when pushed to its limits. Using a lower-rated controller limits the motor's performance and can cause potential issues. A 30A controller is the sweet spot, providing the right balance without being too low or too high.Symptoms of a Lower-Rated ControllerReduced accelerationUneven battery drainThrottled power to the motorIt's crucial to match the current rating of the controller with the motor to ensure a smooth riding experience. Using a lower-rated controller and expecting happiness is unrealistic.Final ThoughtsPotential buyers should be aware that this vendor is not consumer-friendly when addressing issues requiring additional expenses. They tend to avoid addressing such problems. Nevertheless, I will handle the situation amicably but want those interested in this e-bike to think twice and use my review as a point of reference when making their final decision.Overall, ride well, be well, and be safe, fellow e-bikers!*UPDATE* Feb 10th 2025Following an extended series of callbacks, I am pleased to report that the e-bike issue has been resolved. However, the process presented significant challenges.My initial compensation for the controller issue was 20%, however, neither the vendor nor Amazon explicitly stated this was the final offer. Subsequent communication with Amazon, including escalation to a supervisor, confirmed that 20% represented the seller's complete resolution.Keep in mind, I had to purchase the part and the materials to correct this issue, something that should have been handled before I received the bike.After I concluded my call, the supervisor handled the situation well and even provided additional compensation due to the severity of the misinformation and the ordeal itself. I commend the supervisor for his actions and his integrity but to the seller you could have informed me. It is imperative I convey to the vendor that neglecting customer communication implies a disregard for their concerns.While I do not believe the notion that "the customer is always right," but effective communication necessitates aresolution. Therefore, consumers should engage in dialogue rather than demanding immediate, unconditional refunds.Needless to say, effective communication is crucial for maintaining any relationship; unilateral engagement strongly suggests a lack of cooperation from the other party, either due to the validity of your point or its illuminating nature.However, in this case, I persistently pursued the conversation. Again, a fundamental aspect of any successful organization is consistency and effective communication. This demonstrates their unwavering commitment to resolution. Nothing more nothing less.As always fellow e-bikers be well, ride well and make use my review and the other reviews to make a informed decision when doing business with any company.

This bike is great. It rides smooth and is easy to control. It can off road easily. The light is bright for when it is dark. The battery life is amazing.

My son has been riding his bike around like crazy. He loves it. It was not too difficult to assemble.One thing to note is that the gears for the bike are totally independent from the speed selector for the motor, so you need to select the motor speed before it will go at all with the throttle.The motor speed selector basically just limits the top speed and has no impact on the acceleration.Great bang for the buck in my opinion. Max speed is about 28 mph, which is plenty fast. I do wish the suspension was just a little softer. It can be a little rough on bumpy terrain, but it's still fun!No issues at all after one month.

After I spent almost $900 on this bike, I saw the price get lowered to about $500 and I believe I know why. I got this bike in October 2024. My son hardly rode it in the beginning. Just this year in 2025 he started to ride it but maybe once every week. Down the street and back. Straight pavement and grass, totally nearby. It is now the month of May. About a week ago, my son was riding on the bike and the back tire just blew out of nowhere. My son fell off his bike, injuring his knee and elbow. He was not speeding or anything. It just blew out of nowhere. I contacted the manufacturer who happens to be the seller, and was told that they could not locate the item with the Amazon item number I provided, which is the only number that is linked to this purchase. I then contacted Amazon, whom told me that it is passed the date that they could do anything so I needed to contact the manufacturer. I reached out again to the manufacturer and have gotten no response after several days. I also emailed and went on the website for the product and left a message to support. I still have not received a response. I was talking to my lawyer today and it looks like I’m going to have to open a case. I only ever asked for a tire replacement or a refund if unable to replace, and got no response. Because we cannot currently use the bike and I’m not even sure where I would find this size tire if not from the manufacturer. I don’t recommend this item or this seller/manufacturer. I will never buy again. What a horrible experience. The worst I’ve ever experienced on Amazon.
