QuietKat Lynx 1000W OFFROAD E-Bike Review | BikeRide.com
Helped me out, thanks! Doesn't hurt to put a few drops of chain lube on there...
Great review thanks for sharing. A massive thumbs up from the Skill School in the UK 👍
Thanks alot!
Ford should buyout this ebike company and produce twenty thousand level 2 bikes per year at $1500 per bike with extra battery included.
That would be something hey? At $1500 with the extra battery, it might be the best e-bike deal around!
Great review. I would note that throttle to 28 technically makes it not class 1, 2, or , 3 compliant. With companies with names most people have never heard of, it might be nice to talk about how long they have been around, and what their customer service policies are. I am definitely hesitant to buy a bike from a company that may not exist in a few years.
Thanks for watching and commenting! Yes, you are right; technically, a class 3 bike should not have a throttle able to power the bike up to 28mph. With so many bikes and configurations on the market, the class descriptions are getting a little loose. I get lots of "class 3" bikes that actually top out at 25 mph as well. It seems class 3 is turning into a broad term for any bike that goes over 20 mph. But we should be more specific, I agree! Good note also on how long the company has been around and its customer service policy. I always recommend long-standing brands and, if possible, a brand with brick-and-mortar stores that can assist with customer service, returns, and repairs. I'll make a note to mention this about future bikes, at least a brief description of the brands age or track record.
Is this the bike for you? Check out www.bikeride.com/vtuvia-sn100/ for a $100 coupon code!
I was disappointed you didn't mention what model the bikes were that you showcased in the video.
Sorry about that! If you want to know one of the bikes just let me know. Luckily we do have a review video for each of the bikes seen, they are all on our channel page
@@BikeRidecom I was interested in the grey one to your right, it looks really sleek. But I ended up taking a screenshot of the video and doing a reverse image google search and found out it was a Ride1Up 700 series. Would have just loved if there was a little annotation or a note on each of the models shown.
Love the design on this, I wish Ride1Up offered this design for their better bikes lol, especially the green with the brown Kenda wheels
I really liked the look of the bike as well. Thats something about Ride1Up that is always a plus is the bikes look great
This video is absolutely brilliant, really picks apart the bike and gives alot of the useful technical info one would want before purchasing a bike.
Thanks so much! That's the goal at BikeRide.com, we want everyone to ride a great bike!
Just another fantastic review. Covering the cons like no other channel does. Slightly higher production values and this channel would explode.
Thanks a lot! We really try to dive in and showcase everything about the bike honestly, not just make another ad. So it's great to hear it's appreciated!
Do you really have to leave the key in while riding.?.? That seems like a huge flaw
You do; this is an aspect of the folding e-bikes that I do not like much. It feels like you could lose the key! Now the key is firmly held in place, no way for it fall unless it gets snapped off and its pretty safe down under the frame. It also means someone cannot turn on the bike without the key, which is a good safety feature. But still, I don't like the feature much either.
Where to mount water bottle cage on this one ?
Yes thats going to be a tough one! The bike has no attachment points for a bottle cage, so you will need something that can strap to the frame or the handlebars.
can we a child seat or trailer to this bike?
The C11 rear rack can only hold 25 KG of weight, and I do not see any child seats for the rack. You may be able to use a child seat like the Thule Maxi. A good option from Fiido would be the T2 pro e-bike which has a large, robust rack that can accept a child seat no problem
Great list and guide! Thank you
Thanks for watching!
I bought 3 white in 2017, black 2018 and limited edition red 2020 from factory in China. I still use them every day. Everyone who sees it loves it. You will love it!
Glad to hear you enjoy them!
Dose I can add thortol
Can you add a throttle? The bike comes with a thumb style throttle which will allow you to use only electric power to move the bike
If you buy one of these and have problems getting 3.0 inner tubes and tires 2.2 inner tubes and tires fit just fine!
Thats great to know!
Well, I was stupid, now I'm not. I ordered a Presta valve tube for my thrift store bike because it was cheap (the bike and the tube). That was a surprise to find the valve different. I'm an auto detailer, so I have a good portable air pump and had the attachment, I just didn't know how to use it. You know, that's what the Wicked Witch told Dorothy about those shoes! Now I know what she meant!
After spotting a Canada Post office I must ask, how do you make this a class 2 legal bike for Canada then? Most bikes you can change the top speed from the display unit, can you do that with this? I want 1 for trail and commuting in Northern Ontario
They have an app allowing you to adjust the speed limit and power output for various settings. Technially the new transport Canada regulations still do not allow this bike to enter Canada, but you should be fine riding it with no issue. New regulations for import this year do not allow any e-bike that can be unlocked to travel faster then 20 mph (32Km/h) they must be hardwired to 20 mph speed limit and 500W motor to be imported.
Saving this
Does it have pure electric mode
Yes it does, the throttle will power the bike with no pedal input for pure electric riding

Thanks for the excellent video. My rear brake pads are getting a little thin. Needed this vid to understand what I will have to do.
Thanks for watching!
Door Dash?
What's the best bike for door-dash? Or should we start our own door-dash company on the side with all these e-bikes?
Any suggestion for a 6'7" rider. Mostly road/gravel medium
www.bikeride.com/best-bikes/?fwp_type=electric%2Cgravel-adventure-all-road Here is a list with a few options for gravel and electric bikes. Specialized and Trek both make good gravel and road bikes, with electric options. For less expensive brands Ride1Up has a few gravel centered bikes, and Fiido also offers a gravel bike. Aventon also has a new Ramblas which is a mid-drive MTB and very affordable! It would do well on gravel and road but not a road bike specifically.
Haven't they upgraded to 90nm of torque?
The website currently says it is a 90 Nm 750W rear hub motor. However, the unit on our bike did not appear to match these specs. They may have upgraded the bike since our test model was sent out. At the time of review, the website did not mention a 90 Nm motor
The 15.5mph speed limit is set because this is the maximum for on UK and European roads ........ welcome to our world :( Luckily with on the Fiido this can be unlocked and we can then use this extra speed off road ;)
Yes, it makes sense; 15.5 mph feels very slow! Hopefully the UK and Europe will increase the speed limit at some point.
The 15.5mph is UK standard limit from the government hence the unusual speed for that market
Yes, good point!
Would it be easy to add an AXA lock to this bike? I think it would fit, but do they have mounting options for it in the frame?
The C11 does not have any mounting points for the AXA lock on the rear seat stays, so you would need to use the quick attachments that come with the AXA lock to mount it bolts is not an option. It looks like there should be enough room to get it on the rear triangle, but without trying it is tough to be sure. If anyone has used one on this bike let me know!
@@BikeRidecom thanks, mine is scheduled to be delivered on Tuesday, can try with an old lock then, but was curious
@@stealthninja1o112 Awesome, I am interested to see how it fits. I have not had a chance to test out one of the AXA locks but they seem very convenient. I hope you enjoy the bike!
i still hasseltating for the Fiido C11 or the Tenways CGO 800 I i know the Tenways is better, but the Fiido cost more than half off the price of the Tenways
@Metalux - I had the exact same doubt, but I just can't justify the double the cost. Postive thing that made me decide to pre-order this one is the more "torque" and bigger motor which could be nice for longer rides and steeper hills.
We will be reviewing a CGO600 Pro from Tenways soon so stay tuned to the channel to compare the two!
There is NO SHOCK ABSORBERS on the Tenways!
@@PureAwareness76 Thanks for pointing that out! The Fiido suspension fork is a short travel fork, but still better then nothing. We will see how the Tenways does without any suspension when we test it
This matter cannot be adequately addressed with just a 3:15 video.
just about the most complicated way to fix your spoke tension. you do not need even half these amount of tools...
God Bless y’all
It’s great to watch a review that doesn’t sound like a commercial. I’ve watched several reviews of this bike and no one mentioned the speed cap below 50% battery. FYI, there is a step through version as well.
Thanks! That's what we aim for, its nice to know as much as you can before you get your new bike, both the good and the bad! Great point that they have a step-thru as well
Best review of C11 I have seen. I am waiting for mine as we speak 😊
Thank you! Let us know how you like it when it comes in, I hope you get many miles of riding enjoyment from it
Great unbiased review! I would like to see a comparison of the new Mars 2.0 with the 1000W motor. I have one with the 1000W motor on order now and they are shipping this month. Two of the Cons were brakes and motor. This new version has addressed them both with the motor size increase and the addition of hydraulic brakes. I'm anxious to see how well it performs.
thank you! I will try to get a new Mars 2.0 into the studio to compare the specs. It sounds promising with the new motor and upgraded brakes! I prefer any version of the hydraulic brakes to the mechanical options so I am confident you will see an increase in performance. Let us know how you like the bike when you receive it!
Is there a speed limiter or is that the actual max speed
The controller is limited to 25 mph, you can adjust the speed limit up to 25mph but that is the max
@@BikeRidecom I saw online you can program the bike faster by going into developer mode, does that work on this bike?
@@animalboi1656 Not sure about the developer mode but the advanced settings allow you to increase the speed limit to 25 mph. I have seen other people doing a variety of mods to e-bikes, but I personally do not recommend shunt modding or other methods that trick the computer into increasing speed. These 750W Bafang motors are rated to 45 km/h-28 mph, and operating them at higher speeds will strain the motor and probably shorten its life span. Electric motors are easily modified, but just because we can do something doesn't mean its the best option for safety and longevity!
@@BikeRidecom okay thanks for the info
I am considering this and the Aventon Ramblas as my do-all bike - light trail riding and recreation/around town/commmuting. Price aside, which of these two bikes would you pick, and why? Thanks!
I have not had a chance to ride the Aventon Ramblas yet, but I am working hard to get one into the studio! I loved the Ride1Up Prodigy, its a great bike with little to no downsides in my opinion. I still enjoy riding it more then a year after the review. Great geometry, the Brose motor is a gem and it has all the features you would want for a trail/commuter bike. Having said that! If I had to choose between the two I would probably choose the Aventon Ramblas. between Aventon and Ride1up I have found Aventon to be a bit more consistent between bikes; they are slightly more expensive than Ride1up but bring high-quality levels. Ride1Up has had more fluctuation with quality for other models. The Ramblas is also newer, and was designed as a E-MTB specifically, so the geometry is probably going to be slightly improved over the Prodigy.
Any advice on brands, looking into and e-bike for me and my wife something small like a folding bike size and not break the bank. We just like to casual ride on flat roads or paths. Thanks
I enjoyed the Lectric XP3.0 as a folding bike, but in general, I prefer nonfolding bikes. Two brands I have had good luck with are Himiway and Ride1Up, both have good bikes for reasonable price ranges including some nice lighter e-bikes.
@@BikeRidecom why do you prefer non folding bikes, if I can ask? I know for us it seems to be easier to place in our SUV and truck rather than buying a bike rack. Thanks
@@KEVINSNIDE I do tend to prefer non folding bikes since the geometry of the bike tends to be better which leads to a more enjoyable ride experience. I find folders tend to be less comfortable for riding on tight trails, and completing corners. If you need a folder for storage and transport it makes sense, and if you are planning to ride mostly on pavement and recreational situations it probably wont matter to you as much. If you are a avid biker then you will probably find more enjoyment from other bikes since it will be closer to a regular bike
Is there a bike better than this , but somewhat in the price range thst you would reccomend over this ?
I have had a chance to ride the Lectric Xp3.0, HeyBike Mars, Engwe EP-2 Pro and Fiido M1 Pro, they are all similar in nature with some slight differences. This M1 is the only full suspension bike amount those 4, so it stands out for its suspension (despite its low price) as well as quick acceleration. I found this M1 wasthe fastest to accelerate amount the 4. So for full suspension riding and acceleration the M1 is the top pick. The M1 is missing a rear rack though, which both the HeyBike Mars and Lectric XP3.0 have. As far as bike quality I liked the Lectric XP3.0 the best, nice paint and frame, included a rack, fenders and lights and hydraulic brakes. And it had reasonable performance in general. It was however slower to accelerate then the M1 pro and also was not full suspension, so that should be considered as well.
Thanks for the great video.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks to your video i fixed my son’s gear cable! Thanks for the step by step instructions!
Thanks for watching! And good job fixing that cable!
Damn, i thought he was an animation!!!
Nope I'm a real person!
@@BikeRidecom haha, did not mean to offend. But for first minute or so, wondered animation has gotten so much better 🤪
@@RatishRam No offence taken! I would be the most advanced AI animation on YT!
How can you confirm the claims of the manufacturer, regarding the output of the motor and the power of the battery? There is no testing agency to verify claims I have seen grossly exaggerated claims of battery output, not with e-bikes, but with RC equipment, plus claims of things like SD card memory which were completely bogus.
You are correct, the batteries are not something you can open up and count cells, and motors need a special rig to test torque or power output. I can tell you from real-world testing that different bikes have huge differences in performance even with identical motors or identical claimed battery output, not to mention controllers. Any single lower quality component can change the performance of the entire unit. Real world testing and comparing test data is one of the best ways to tell the good from the bad, without being able to bench-test each component individually
Very nice video. No music,great close up no self aggrandizing cutsie ‘hey dude’ whatsup cool hand gestures,no background theatrical movie sets. 👍
Great review as usual. Love the consistent measured performance stats against other bikes and the best assessment of cons. The channel needs more subs!
Thank you for watching! It's pretty interesting to see how the bikes stack up against each other over time. Sometimes, the results are surprising!

Thanks just bought a Urban Rhino Fat tire Bike Looks to be the same Bike as the Zugo? mmmm
Yes the Urban Drift Rhino looks to be the exact same model as the Zugo Rhino. Let us know how it holds up! I liked the Rhino before its controller started showing issues, it was a fast and fun bike
When will ebike manufacturers include an in-frame 'piggy back' battery socket to plug in 2nd battery mounted on the rack. Could be controlled by the computer display to auto switch to the 2nd battery when the main battery reaches a preset level or a manual selection. I see Wired has this 2nd battery standard on one of their bikes. I say this as the odds of these manufacturers continuing to supplying in frame replacement batteries is questionable, so an after market battery pack maybe the only way to keep an older ebike on the road. Plus it helps eliminate range anxiety as no one wants to peddle these tanks without motor assist.
Yes no one wants to pedal these without assistance! Himiway has another bike which features dual batteries - the Himiway Rhino and I have seen other brands offer dualo battery bikes or a range extender option. Vanpowers offers a hidden "waterbottle" second battery option, and I have also seen EBC offer a second battery pack hidden in the front rack. Those are a just a few options so it is definitely possible!
