I'm not a bike guy. More into knives, guns, swords but I needed a form of transportation and got a "JETSON BOLT PRO X".
There's not a lot of info on the interwebs on it. I can't tell if it's a brand new model or not. What do y'all think of it? I saw Ebikes that looked more like traditional bikes and was wondering what the pros and cons where for this "scooter" style frame with the small wheels vs a trad bike frame/size.
What would y'all modify on this thing? I'm considering taking the dinky little bell on it off.

you should probably upgrade the pedals
wellgo pedals of your choice would be fine. this type would be my suggestion but as a general rule the more damage they will inflict on your shin the better they work

Thanks bro. I do have access to some salvage bikes I could strip for better parts. I was thinking of mounting a flashlight somewhere cuz the intergal light is kind of weak.

The only upside of those little bikes is they take up less space everything else is a negative.
I would sell it desu.

I'll be as honest as i can with you, stuff like that is GREAT if you have little space for anything bigger. However, ebikes that use traditional style frames are probably the best you can go for. Less weight, gear changing, and larger wheel circumference really are important for riding. If you REALLY wanted something ranging on the smaller side, get one of the absolutely MANY motorcycle style bikes out there.

Hijacking this thread. Is there anything wrong with this ebike? I don't see many reviews online but best I can tell it's just cheap because it's an older model. Checks most of the boxes I'm looking for, namely no suspension and mid-drive motor.https://shop.sportsbasement.com/products/amp-257-al-speed-one#img-23392398835784

I had a retarded thought
>attach DC motor to crank
>attach controller to DC motor
>controller tries to keep DC motor at 0V
>so if you start cranking (supplying voltage from motor as dynamo) controller supplies that many volts from battery to maintain equilibrium
>DC motor is now spinning as fast as you're cranking, making it easier on you legs
Why wouldn't it work and why don't "pedal assist only" bikes basically just do this?
