How Hard Can I Push the Meelod DK300Max? Let’s Find Out!

Bike Features and Specifications

• The Meelod DK300 Max is a dual battery, dual motor, full suspension moped-style eBike with a steel frame capable of supporting up to 450 pounds.
• It comes with a powerful rear motor of 750 W, peak power of 1200 W, 85Nm of torque, and a front motor with the same specifications, resulting in 2400 W and 170Nm of torque in all-wheel drive mode.

“The Frame is a steel frame and because of that this bike holds up to 450 pounds… since this is a double battery bike, milot says that the DX 300 Max will go up to 150 miles on a single charge…”

Battery and Charging Information

• The bike is equipped with two 48V, 20Ah batteries totaling 960Wat hours. Using both batteries provides 1920Wat hours of power.
• Charging both batteries simultaneously with the included 4.5 amp charger takes about 9 hours, while charging one battery at a time will take around 4.5 hours.

“Both batteries on this bike are 48 volt with 20 amp hours each… you have a 4.5 amp charger and the cool part about it is it has split that allows you to charge up both batteries at the same time.”

Bike Display Functions

• The bike’s display shows important information such as speed, battery power, odometer miles, trip miles, and average miles per hour.
• You can easily switch between different modes on the display by a quick press.
• By holding down the plus button, you can toggle the headlights on and off, including high and low beam settings.
• The rear tail light operates differently but illuminates when the headlights are turned off and the brake lever is activated.

The bike’s display provides essential information like speed, battery power, and trip details, all easily accessible to the rider.

Bike Settings and Password Management

• The initial passcode for the bike is set to “zzz zero,” but this can be changed.
• Users can disable the passcode feature to avoid inputting it every time the bike is started.
• Changing settings, such as unit measurements and other configurations, requires a specific admin passcode (2020).
• Users can adjust various settings like language, theme colors, speed limits, and Bluetooth connections via the bike settings menu.

Managing passwords and configuring various settings on the bike requires specific passcodes and offers customization options for a personalized riding experience.

Performance Testing with Different Drive Configurations

• Testing the Meelod DK300Max with a single drive suggests limited impact on hill performance.
• Transitioning to all-wheel drive significantly enhances hill-climbing capacity.
• Notable struggle encountered in front-wheel drive mode due to excessive spinning.
• The presence of mud from snow and ice adds to the traction challenge on the hill.

“We’re probably going to be screaming up this hill now we made it up with the rear-wheel drive so let’s go ahead and put it into front-wheel drive and see how that does.”

Terrain Exploration: Sand Test and Noise Assessment

• Engaging in a sand test reveals the bike’s ability to navigate challenging terrain.
• Adjusting between rear-wheel and all-wheel drive based on terrain requirements enhances performance.
• Observations on noise levels indicate a silent ride, facilitating a pleasant biking experience even off-road.

“That front motor is a lot louder than the rear motor… We’re just plowing through this sand.”

Speed Evaluation with Various Battery Configurations

• Comparing speeds achieved with one versus two batteries and different drive modes informs about optimal performance settings for varying needs.
• Describing the impact of wind conditions on speed performance showcases the bike’s adaptability to external factors.
• Evaluating the trade-offs between battery consumption and speed gains provides practical insights for riders seeking an efficient balance.

“It looks like we’re clinging between 25 and 26 mph with just the rear-wheel drive but you go a little bit faster.”

Performance Testing: Braking Capability

• The Meelod DK300Max exhibited impressive braking performance, stopping smoothly within 40-42 feet without veering off course, showcasing excellent tire grip and overall control.
• “this bike stops you know 40 and 42 ft for braking that seems like a lot but this is a lot of weight and during that braking process the bike didn’t kick to the left or to the right these tires gripped as well as they could everything felt like it was in control”

Terrain Challenge: Hill Climbing and Mud

• The video captures an exhilarating trial of the Meelod DK300Max navigating a challenging muddy incline, showcasing its capabilities in difficult terrain.

“oh yeah this is steep right here oh it’s all mud Lean Forward oh no oh no oh things”

Battery Efficiency and Performance Consistency

• Despite the battery level dropping to 0%, the Meelod DK300Max maintained a speed of 14-15 miles per hour, demonstrating commendable efficiency and performance consistency even at low power levels.
• “we’re still doing 14 15 miles an hour this is doing excellent”

“we’re still doing 14 15 miles an hour this is doing excellent”

Testing the Pedal Assist Levels

• The Cadence Sensor adjusts the speed based on the gear or pedal assist level.
• The bike’s pedal assist currently achieves 17 Mph on level two and can reach 20 Mph.

“I’m trying to pedal as fast as I can, but the small chain ring limits pedaling, although the pedal assist makes climbing hills easier.”

Pushing the Limits with Different Assist Levels

• Level three comfortably reaches 23 Mph, and level four is expected to maintain speeds around 24 Mph.
• Level five could potentially achieve 26-27 Mph under pedal assist.

“Level five pushes the speed even further, hitting 26-27 mph, showcasing the bike’s capability.”

Battery Efficiency and Concerns

• The battery is closely monitored as it decreases quickly during the trip, reaching 24%.
• The rider expresses concern about the remaining battery percentage and the distance back home.

“Dropping rapidly, the battery level causes concern, approaching 24% during the ride back home.”

Final Thoughts on the Meelod DK300Max

• The bike displays impressive endurance, covering a distance of 49.1 miles, making it a strong contender for commuters.
• With the current discounted price compared to its original tag, the bike is highlighted as an excellent choice for its capabilities.

“The Meelod DK300Max surpasses previous reviews, covering 49.1 miles, cementing its position as a reliable commuter bike.”
