Vivi Electric Bike for Adults 750W Peak Folding Electric Mountain Bike Review

My Honest Experience with the Vivi Electric Bike M026TGBUL

Owning the Vivi Electric Bike for Adults with a 750W Peak Motor has been an exciting journey. This foldable electric mountain bike has transformed the way I commute and explore during weekends. At first glance, the sleek black aluminum frame and 26-inch wheels caught my attention, but using it daily revealed so much more.

I recall the day it arrived; the packaging was secure, and the bike was 90% pre-assembled, which saved me a headache. Still, being someone who struggles with interpreting assembly instructions, I appreciated the included tool kit. Within an hour, I was ready for my test ride. The 500W motor (which peaks at 750W!) provides ample power to tackle hills around my neighborhood, and the 21-speed transmission was a game-changer for adjusting to various terrains. I live in a hilly area, so trust me when I say the dual suspension system makes all the difference. Even the front and rear disc brakes gave me confidence when descending steep slopes.

But not everything was perfect. For one, the battery placement on the handlebar initially felt awkward, making the bike’s handling seem top-heavy. Over time, I got used to it, and the removable 48V battery became a blessing for recharging. Whether you use the Throttle Mode, Pedal Assist, or Cruise Control, the bike offers adaptability no matter your riding preference.

The LCD display is another feature I appreciate. It’s clear and functional, showing speed, battery life, and distance. However, if you’re like me and love riding at night, the built-in LED headlamp is brighter than expected. Still, I recommend investing in an additional rear light for added safety.

Strengths vs. Competitors

Compared to competitors like the ANCHEER Folding Electric Mountain Bike, the Vivi bike excels in durability and suspension. While ANCHEER offers similar power, Vivi’s dual shock absorption creates a far smoother ride. On the other hand, the Heybike Mars Electric Bike boasts a better folding mechanism and slightly improved portability. The Vivi bike, despite its foldable frame, still feels bulky when collapsed, which can be inconvenient for small cars.

Value for Money

One thing I love about the Vivi bike is its price-to-feature ratio. It’s an excellent entry-point e-bike for those not ready to spend a fortune. While there are premium options like the Rad Power Bikes, you’d be hard-pressed to find a 750W peak motor, UL-certified battery, and 44-50 miles of range at this price point. However, you might need to spend a little extra on a better seat and some accessories to fully enjoy the ride.

Design and Build Quality

The aluminum frame feels sturdy, and the foldable design is practical, even if a bit bulky. Weighing 27 kilograms (60 lbs), it’s not the lightest but feels robust. Its double-walled rims and 26-inch wheels ensure a smoother, faster ride. However, I did notice the fenders are a bit flimsy and tend to need readjusting after rough rides.

To sum up, the Vivi Electric Bike M026TGBUL is a solid performer. While there are some areas for improvement, such as the handlebar battery placement, the value and versatility overshadow the drawbacks. It’s perfect for commuters and recreational riders alike.
