I purchased this bike back in April for $519 flat (no tax or shipping). I've loved it and mainly take it for family outings to breweries and such. I'm ~200lbs and it has plenty of juice for my needs and most hills. Some steep hills require a bit of knowhow and effort with the gears + throttling. By accessing the LCD parameter settings I was able to set to throttle-only which I enjoy more than peddle-assist. This way I can throttle as much help as I want as I peddle instead of preset assist modes which I don't like. It has walking assist which is good as it's not necessarily a light bike. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this one, especially at this price point compared to other e-bikes.
The light is nice and strong and it has a back red light too which is great. I've modded it with a phone carrier, mirrors and rear carrier.

I bought 2 of the Austins and for the first 6 months they were fine. But one of the bikes quit working (screen wouldn't turn on and the motors would not work despite the batteries worked when swapping batteries from one bike to another). Emailed Senada and played their game to get a replacement screen - had to take multiple videos to trouble shoot the bikes by doing various things including taking parts off the good bike and placing them on the bad bike. In all, probably spent about 3 hours doing the back and forth with their support team over the course of 4 days (could have been fewer days but I had things to do on some days so couldn't always get on it right away). Then once they determined the screen needed to be replaced, it took about a month to get the part. I did not have the option of taking it to a bike shop so I was expected to be a bike tech when I have no experience doing so. Not really a great experience, but given the price, I suppose that's to be expected.

Anyways, just wanted to help those of you who might want to know about how their service is.
Bought 2 of these back in April for my teens to take to school. So far they've put close to 400miles on it. I ride it here/there just to cruise around. No complaints.

Just to note..


when we first got it, had 2 flats on rear tire. I put that green slime on it and havent had any since.
brakes suck. Its mechanical. I tell my boys to plan ahead before stopping to slow themselves down. As long as you manage that expectation, its fine.

Ebike noob here.. been wanting to purchase one and have looked at the Lectric Xp3.

Can anyone chime in who is knowledgeable how they compare and if this is a good deal and should pull trigger?

Can anyone comment on how this would do well with kids - specifically toddlers? I assume I'd need additional accessories on the back to get them secure.

Bought one of these at the beginning of summer, put 400 miles onIt so far. Overall it's been awesome and I would definitely buy another. I also bought My wife an Aventon abound at the same time.

My biggest gripe about this bike is since I've experienced a decent torque sensor versus this bikes cadence sensor. Essentially what it boils down to is this bike has five locked in speeds. 7mph, 12mph 18mph 22mph and 28mph. They call it pedal assist levels, but really it just means while you're peddling it will accelerate you to that speed and then only provide enough assistance to keep you going that exact speed.

It works fine, but with a true torque sensor, you can pedal at any speed and feel the boost so it's more like a real bike ride. I'm thinking about upgrading for next summer simply because I find myself using the throttle on this bike quite a bit to hit the in-between speeds, and I would like to feel like I'm actually riding a bike most of the time.

You don't really get a Work out with this bike, but it's a total blast to ride and has a ton of power. I regularly pull my two and 5-year-old in a bike trailer behind it with no issue even going up steep hills.

The other thing I would complain about is they put cheap tires on the bike. They are actually nice and knobby, but they puncture fairly easily. Definitely invest in some slime and put it in before your first ride.

I sincerely doubt it. If it were, they'd be boasting about it on the product page.

I bought this. It probably wouldn't fit into a sedan trunk. Or it would be pretty tough because folded it's still think and heavy to maneuver.

You can use the settings to change the locked in speeds a bit which helps. I got it to 13 and 16mph which I felt were better than the other increments. But the torque sensor sounds great.

I want to like this, but the max payload is 280 lbs and for a bike that shows a passenger seat on the back rack, that's pretty low.

Someone said it was smaller than a lectric, I put the xp 2.0 in a Buick Lucerne and 2 2.0s in a KIA serento with lots of room for other stuff. (Bike was Folded)
