This bike is cheap and poorly made. The brake handle broke in my hands and the Canadian reseller does not havepartsand has not intention of carrying them. WHich effectively means the warranty is not honoured and if something breaks, there is no way of fixing it. ALso the ride is very uncomfortable.

I am a 75 year old guy and bought one of these R5’s about a year ago, I absolutely love it.
I have been lazy and just used the electric mode on full throttle (eeeh haaar) and man it goes just great, it can tackle reasonable hills in my city and if it starts slowing right down, I just pedal as well, not very often needed though.
Now I am trying to get my weight down, I’m a fatty at 98kg, so I only use it on ‘Power Assist’ mode on setting 3, that’s just enough to help me out. It’s easily stored at home and all functions of the app work just fine for me.
In NZ it cost me $995NZ which is not that bad and I see some on TradeMe for $600 2nd hand.
It folds up into a small bundle in a flash and into the boot of the car.
It is extremely well built and I am 100% happy with it.
In some of the reviews I’ve read people complain the app doesn’t work, they must be missing something, mine is fine on my Android phone and IOS Ipod.
If you buy one, you’ll enjoy it.
