Advantages:

Good range, great maneuverability, nice adjustable suspension.

Weakness:

Would like to have to option for more power and higher top speed for the sale of range. UncomfortablernMoto saddle

With much anticipation it was a long time waiting for my Top 2.0 to arrive. In fact from the date it was paid for it took 5 1/2 months. And there's no way to track it traveling to the US. I purchased this directly from Ukraine. I hadn't realized there where dealers in the states, otherwise I might've considered buying from them. I figured if I bought directly from the manufacturer in Ukraine, attention to detail and quality might be better. So I was willing to wait. As I said, it was a long wait. Never the less it arrived. The wooden box was slightly damaged, but the bike was packed well and did not suffer. Overall I have to say I'm pleased with the bike. There are other sections in this review for pro's and cons so I'll just write my overall feeling here. This isn't my first Ebike, so it wasn't an OMG experience. And the write up in the advertising had me expecting more. "Able to beat most automobiles in the quarter mile" leads one to believe this bike to be a "torque monster" off the line. When in all actuality it's a very heavy bike, it has one gear ratio (which is more of a mid range), and it's recommended that you assist (peddle) the bike up to 6mph before using the electric. Once you do get going it does get right along fairly well, but 50mph is more in a "perfect condition". Meaning no wind, flat or slightly down hill, and given enough room. And this is not a speed you can consistently maintain, nor would you want to. It's not good for the motor or battery. If this is your intent, but an electric motorcycle. I could keep going on but would have nothing to put in the advantages, disadvantages sections below so I'll finish by saying I'm happy with the DelFast Top 2.0. For the price I would've thought it would be flawless. I've spent less on automobiles. The charge on the battery seems to last a long time compared to my other Ebike. Because of the gearing I'm thinking I might've been better off with the original Top model instead of the 2.0. Technical takes way too long to get an answer. You can chat with a representative of DelFast, but they just want to take your order not give you support. Emailing takes multiple days to get any answer. Now I'm ranting again. I'll put this stuff in the disadvantage box below. \r\nMy advise, do your research. Know what you want to use this bike for. I needed it for travel, distance, longevity. I think it will suit me fine for this purpose. If you're looking for something to spin the tires, go off roading, I'd look at something like a Sur Ron. They're quicker, lighter, cheaper, and more suited for that purpose. This bike is meant for distance, which once in motion I believe it does well.

Advantages:

Good distance, speed, and battery life. Attractive looking bike. Suspension works well. Hydraulic brakes are nice. Really like the tires. I can hardly believe I will ever have to worry about getting a flat tire. The headlight is bright, yet too narrow. It should spread out to the sides more so you can see your surroundings. Also high and low beam would be a benefit.

Weakness:

Ok here we go. Sluggish off the line. I thought it would be much quicker. As per their claims to be able to beat most cars in the quarter mile. The gearing is too high for low speeds (taking off), and not high enough after you get going. They should include a Schlumpf drive to accommodate this problem for the price being asked.rnThere is a car alarm on this thing. This is an actual CAR alarm! Do you know how loud those are? Everytime you turn this thing on or off it chirps! That's rediculous. Especially when it's at night or early in the morning. Have I mentioned this thing is Frickin' LOUD! I found the siren and unplugged it. Then the bike won't turn on. I ended up cutting the little plastic "horn" off the box that makes all the noise to get to the metal disc that vibrates. I used a hot glue gun and filled the hole to muffle the sound. You can still hear it, but at least it's not easy piecing now. rnThis has a remote for the alarm and to "start" the bike. There a lightning bolt on there that's supposed to turn the bike on and off. If I hit it twice it will turn it on. I can't seem it get the bike to turn off using this button. I have to hit the unlock button in the remote to turn the bike off. Makes no sense to me. Way should you have to use an unlock button to shut off or "lock" the bike? There's a start/stop button on the to of the battery compartment. I've hit that when the bike is on thinking this should shut it down. Then the alarm starts wailing! The only way to shut that up is hit the unlock button on the remote. Which brings me to the worthless app they have for this thing. A real nice feature for that would to be able to lock/unlock, start/shut down your bike from the app, not having to carry around a key fob. Everyone already carries a cell phone with them already. Why not use that to control the alarm? Another thing is that the app doesn't connect to the BMS on the bike. That would be a very useful tool for being able to monitor the cells in your battery. Voltage, Watts, amps etc... But it won't connect. I have contacted tech support on this issue and was told that "it's still in the development stage". For an over $6000 bicycle and things like this are so unpolished. rnI had mentioned above that I bought this directly from Ukraine thinking they made the bike and the quality should be top notch coming from them. Not sure about their quality control then. The display won't keep the time of day. No literally! I can set the time. It will show the right time until the next time I go out to use the bike again and it's won't again. rnI went through the settings to explore when I first got the bike. This is a 72 volt system and the display was set to 48 volts. I inquired about this to tech support and they said, no, it should be on 72 not 48. What else is screwed up in the settings? Maybe I just got a lemon and things aren't configured correctly. There is a settings page that is password protected from the manufacturer. Maybe it's something in there? I don't know. I do know my confidence in quality with this product is very low because of the ability to get tech support in a timely manner. As I said, DelFast has a chat line. I would think this would be a perfect place to find answers to problems people might have, but all they want to do is sell products/take orders, and redirect you for support. rnNext subject, assembly. Wasn't bad. Pretty straight forward. On my first ride I could hear a ticking coming from the front someplace, but only when I hit my brakes. I stopped to check it out and nothing looked out of place. I spun the tire and everything was good. It wasn't until a few days later when I had lost my front brakes that I realized what had been happening. The only time it would tick was when I hit the front brakes. When the forks would compress, the hydraulic brakes line would come in contact with the spokes. That wore a hole in the line losing all my fluid. I ended up having to buy new line (bought 2), a brake bleeding kit, fluid, hydraulic line cutting tool. About$60. I replaced both front lines routing them around the outside of the forks instead of the inside like they were from the factory. On assembly I didn't have to do anything to them except slide the front wheel on.rnI took the mirrors off. I'm 6'2". A good sized guy, but not obese by any means. I can't see behind me using the mirrors. They look nice, but sitting on the bike they look right into my arms. They should stick out to the sides a bit more. So I took them off. rnI think this is my last complaint. There are 2 switches under the seat. The one to the left controls speed. 15mph/20mph/50mph. The switch is faulty. It should clock and have a definite "position" for these 3 settings. The switch doesn't go all the way into the 50mph position. Maybe this is the reason for the sluggish take off, it needing so much room to get to 50. Probably not, but again, where's the quality control for a $6000 bike? I can change that myself. rnOops, a couple more. rnI can't raise my seat post far enough to be able to stretch my legs out for peddling. So I have to buy a longer seat post. Then I won't be able to reach the ground, so it'll have to be a dropper post. Another expense.rnGPS is terrible around my neck of the woods. This isn't GPS in the sense of satellite signal GPS. This used a cellular service which is very spotty in my area. So you need to buy this cell service from your carrier (add a line). This is an added monthly charge. DelFast requires you to have this service in order to have a warrantee on your bike. So the GPS works with the app, that doesn't connect with your BMS and that I can't get a signal for. Yet I still need it so that I can have a warrantee on my $6000 bicycle. What a country!

I purchased the top model. We use for commuting every day. It's about 4km one way, but it's easy to charge about twice a month.

Advantages:

The acceleration is as fast as the car. The battery is also perfect. We are satisfied generally.

Weakness:

The problem is that the lights are dark (headlights, taillights), so please improve them. Also, there was no light for the license plate, so I had to put it on my own. There was no choice but to turn off security because the sound of the on-off was too loud.

One word...…… AWESOME~!~ Worth every penny. This bike is well built with very unique technology. One I just discovered, ( after riding it for 2 months) is that the throttle disengages when either break is applied! Turns a lot of heads with others say \\\'I am going to get one!

Advantages:

Helps the environment.rnFun and quiet to cruise to take pictures of wild life or just go to the grocery store without using my RV.

Weakness:

Hard moto seat.rnPeddle stroke jammed with this seat.rnseat hard as a rock.rnrnNeeds a small compartment to carry the tools that came with the bike.
