Bolt Electric Bike

So I’m giving it 5 stars because the bike itself when new it is amazing. That being said, I bought 2. Both said “used-like new” or “used-good”. Don’t trust that!!! One of the bikes was so used it looked like trash. The reflectors were shattered, tires were worn out and the battery does not hold power. It is awful. We had to return it!Now. The one that is perfect is a great bike. We use it when camping and it works great. It does have limitations when going uphill. It will come to a crawl and you may have to walk it or just expect to go very slow but otherwise it is fantastic. I’m sure this would be perfect for in town commutes to shopping or work. Keep in mind you would have to bring a backpack to carry your belongings if you do. The brake is weak and although it works, I don’t go too fast when i go downhill because this bike takes off fast!!!Overall, for the price, it is awesome and I’m very happy with the one bike that works.

This electric bike proved to be of disappointingly low quality. It was plagued with a series of issues that made it a frustrating purchase. I bought it in July as a gift for a family member, and within less than a month, the battery ceased to charge.I ordered a replacement, which arrived on August 11. However, the problems persisted, as in less than two weeks, the tire unexpectedly burst with inner tire fragments scattered when simply pumping it. The inconvenience of returning it led my family member to attempt a workaround – transferring the replacement bike's battery into the original one.Nevertheless, problems persisted. In less than six weeks, the back tire of the original bike also exploded while pumping it. This consistent string of issues has left us deeply dissatisfied with this purchase.Adding to my frustrations, when I contacted Amazon's customer service, I was informed that the purchase was fulfilled directly by Amazon, without involving any third-party sellers. When I inquired about obtaining the manufacturer's contact information to explore the possibility of ordering replacement tires, I was astonished to be told that Amazon did not have access to the manufacturer's phone number!!! This complete lack of quality screening by Amazon is both concerning and utterly unacceptable, revealing a critical flaw in their customer support and accountability processes.

I hadn’t done any serious bike riding for about 50 years and a friend wanted me to get this bike so we could ride together around town. I wasn’t sure if I’d use it much and so spending a lot of money on a bike didn’t make much sense. I got this from Costco for something like $330. Bottom line: I’ve ridden it about 1,500 miles in 9 months, partially for fun and spending time with my friend. And partially because my hip has become problematic and I’ve been unable to walk for exercise and bike riding is much easier on it. It works, it’s fun, it zips around town. That’s the good news.The bad news: it’s not well balanced and you have to keep both hands on the handlebars or you’ll take a spill. And more importantly, the battery has a short life. I’m about 190 pounds and when it was brand new the most I ever got out of it was 14 miles using just pedal assistance and almost no use of the throttle (other than to get going from a complete stop). After about 150 re-charges of the battery it’s down to a 7 mile range, and it’s dropping fast now. It’s not easy to replace and a professional has to do it, assuming spare batteries can be bought. The website has shown spare parts to be nonexistent for months. I understand the battery retails for something like $150 without labor for its installation. The rear tire also has become bald within my biking. The chain has stretched a lot and is in the ballpark of needing replacing I suspect. So probably $250 worth of repairs needed on a bike within 9 months of use and it only cost me $330 to buy a new one.Bottom line: it’s been a nice intro bike, and it served its purpose. But I’ve bought a different brand for a replacement. It cost $1250., but it has a battery reportedly good for 50 miles of riding per charge, and larger size tires (so not so fast to go bald).

This little bike is well worth the money. I got it on sale for $300. But it zips around pretty good. I'm about 190 lb. I would say it goes about 12 miles or so on a single charge. The seat could be a little bit more comfortable. But, that's your average bike seat. And there's no shock absorption. So with every bump, you feel it. Other than that, a great little bike at a cheap price. Good customer service too, communicated through Facebook messenger.

Brand new like I ordered now waiting on the last one

Battery died after a year.

Words fail me, to describe this magnificent bike. First off, the packaging was exquisite. Very detailed packaging clearly done to prevent breakage during transit. Unboxing, I could not believe how nice this bike is. Solid sturdy frame, and get this, it is basically all put together!! The ride was wonderful. I am glad it didn't go any faster, around 18 mph. That is fast enough for me. There is a fender on the front and back. There are safety lights on the front and back that light up. There's even a sweet little bell. The rear brakes are perfect. Jetson even charged it before mailing. So it arrived with a full charge so I could go for a ride right away. I have never been so impressed with any product, anywhere. Excellent value. I can tell this bike is built to last. (One tiny little drawback is the seat is a bit uncomfortable). Will get gel seat pads to put on there.)
