Sizing of the Bike

• The seat has adjustable positions, with the lowest position suitable for a 4’9″ rider and the highest position for a 6’8″ person.
• When fully extended, the bike measures 68 inches, slightly shorter than the presenter who is 69 inches tall.
• When folded, the bike measures around 39 to 40 inches.

Folding the Bike

• Folding the bike is simple. There is a button to push, then open the tab and lift it up. The bike will fold down and over, and the kickstand can be lifted.
• The bike has a little wheel at the bottom to make it easier to roll when folded.

Test Riding the Bike

• Riding the bike without any pedal assist is relatively slow, with the presenter reaching a speed of 7 miles per hour.
• When using pedal assist, the bike can reach speeds up to 28 miles per hour.
• The motor of the bike is not very quiet, and the presenter mentions that it may be loud enough for people to hear him coming.

“Riding it with zero pedal assist on, we are now going to go ahead and try the pedal assist levels with just throttle.”

Pedal Assist Levels

• Regardless of the pedal assist level, the bike will take the rider to the highest speed available.
• Pedal assist level one allows cruising at 14 miles per hour.
• Pedal assist level two allows cruising at 17 miles per hour.
• Pedal assist level three allows cruising at 19 miles per hour.
• Pedal assist level four allows speeds up to 22 miles per hour, making the presenter feel like he’s on the edge of ghost pedaling.
• Pedal assist level five allows speeds up to 25 miles per hour, but requires the use of the half twist throttle to reach 28 miles per hour.

“Let’s see what our speed can be for that. I can comfortably cruise at 14 miles an hour in pedal assist one.”

Hill Climbing Test

• Testing the bike on a hill with pedal assist level five and throttle only, the bike performs well and moves easily.

“We are just moving, this thing has all kinds of torque.”

Battery Life and Charging

• The presenter notices that the battery is almost dead, indicating that he may have forgotten to charge it fully.
• He plans to charge the battery and conduct a mileage test on a later day.

“So what I’m going to do is I’m going to stop this test short for today, and here’s the reason why: I’m looking down and my battery is almost dead.”

Day 2: Mileage Test

• The presenter starts the second day’s test with a fully charged battery in his backpack.
• He plans to rely mostly on the throttle for this trip.

“Most of this test will be by using just the throttle only.”

Weather Conditions

• The weather in Chicago has changed, with colder temperatures and rain.
• The presenter mentions that both he and the bike are rated for riding in the rain.

“It is a lot colder, we went from 80 degrees to now it’s like 60. It’s been raining for the past two days, it’s going to rain again today.”

Equipment Tests

• The presenter is testing out a new helmet with Bluetooth features and built-in turn signals.
• The helmet has a connection to the presenter’s phone, allowing phone calls and music to be accessed easily.
• The presenter notes that the helmet is priced at around $90 and offers a discount code to his viewers.

“I am testing out a new helmet, it’s by base camp. It’s CSF 999, it does have a Bluetooth feature in it.”

Speedometer Accuracy

• The accuracy of the bike’s speedometer appears to be quite accurate.

Review of bike’s accuracy

• Average accuracy seems to be about one mile off per hour.
• Battery level dropped to one bar after traveling 1.3 miles since the update.

Pedal assist and throttle speed tests

• Pedal assist only took 12 seconds to reach 20 miles per hour.
• Throttle only took about 13.5 seconds to reach 20 miles per hour.

Brake test

• The bike stopped at about 24 feet in both tests.

Display customization and power management

• The display lacks information about watts usage and remaining battery percentage.

“Although it gives you a lot of customization… doesn’t tell you how many watts you’re using.”

Battery performance and range

• The bike maintained power even with a flashing battery.
• The full suspension and seat were comfortable during the ride.
• The battery lasted for 20.58 miles before running out of power.

“Even with the battery flashing… not having a loss of power.” “The battery is now flashing… we are getting to the end of its life.”

Overall impressions and improvements

• The bike’s comfortable ride, dual suspension, and hydraulic brakes were praised.
• Improvements could include implementing cruise control and providing battery percentage or wattage information on the display.

“Number one, I liked how… very secure when stopping.” “A couple of things that could be improved… ghost pedaling.”

Battery Performance

• The Mihogo NX has a lower battery capacity compared to other folding bikes, with approximately 680 watt hours.
• Despite the lower capacity, the bike performed better than anticipated in terms of range.
• Swapping out batteries was a simple process.

“It’s not going to go as far as the other ones it did go farther than what I thought it would.”

No Rattling Battery
