If your thinking about buying a Philodo H8 Dual Motor Cargo Electric Bike.
You will be happily surprised as I was coming from a motorbike back round.
--Lets do the Good first.- Lightweight for an e bike. Well equipped if you need a strong do all versatile E bike. Long range batterie at time of testing ( still new ). Strong E motors x2. Large tyres with front suspension comfortable for long rides. Can be fitted with a top back box 30Lts from a motorbike on the back carry rail. Which will store all your equipment i.e. - PPE. bike lock helmet etc. and or carry a modest amount of shopping. The lights are strong and the rear has a brake light that works with bought brakes front and rear.
All Round Great E Bike 8/10. I would say buy one. 10 being the best.
--Lets do the Bad -- If your under 5 ft 7 inch. this is not the bike for you. I am 5'9 to 5'10
and I can only flat foot one leg when stopped. A surprising amount of assembly when it arrives in box. You will struggle putting it together if your not a hands on type of person.
The over bar gear selectors are cheap crap and hard to use. ( easy to get lost in the gears.) Not great on an E bike capable of 55km + .A higher quality underbar gear selector closer to the hand grip would be. Sooo much better, with the electronics moved closer to the middle of the bars as you only press buttons once or twice and are rolling throw the gears all the time. The gear selectors are NOT Shimano SIS as advertised , But cheap nock off crap, not great on a E bike worth so much money. ?
This is a textile part of the E bike ( hands on / feel ) I would think more attention would be given to it. Front set needs a bigger cog, so to keep up with the motors.
You can replace the gears with real Shimano sis and underbar selectors ( moved closer to the grips ) This would be a night and day difference to the enjoyment of riding the E bike and over all safety of riding it. ( at your own cost? ) again expensive e bike.
This really can ruin the enjoyment of the ride in stop go traffic. The gear selectors front and back have not been adjusted correctly and are skipping or rubbing the chain. This will lead to replace the chain a lot sooner than needed and ware out the selectors. No positive feel on gear selection. You never really know what gear your in or are going to end up in ?? trash total crap.
The rear view mirrors are the worst I have ever seen. Seriously child toy bike mirrors are better ??
The tyres are fair to good off road. But completely useless in anything but dry conditions on road. No really really bad in grease or damp conditions. ( Ireland ) You can replace the tyres for good ones ( at your own cost? ) again expensive E Bike. -can go up to 55km+-. No throw axles for a E Bike with dual motors. So wheel nut's are the only thing keeping you from having an air bourn adventure. Bad day -and they are cheap trash to !!-
There is an air of cost cutting about some, only some of the parts on this E bike
But again you can replace all of these bad parts for considerably better parts .
Wait it's almost like they new that ? ( at your own cost ? )
55km + and expensive.
Now lets shake of the negative.
I will be replacing the parts said above for better ones myself, as I do believe there
is a great E bike under those crap part just trying to get out.
The rest of the E bike is great and I am very happy with
my purchase apart from well you know, said above.
You can customize, modify or replace.
Build it to your needs or wants.
Would I say buy a - Philodo H8 Dual Motor Cargo Electric Bike.
Yes this is a great E bike that comes fully loaded.
And with some customizing or replacing of cheap parts it could be a amazing E bike.
Shame they cheeped out at the last hurdle and did not think or consider
what the end riding experience would be like. again expensive.
But if your looking for a commuter E Bike that's comfortable and has long range.
That does not really need updated parts if you don't care about those sort of
thing and just want to potter around or commute in your day to day.
This E bike will not disappoint. at this price point or range. basically your not getting better for less. I have done my homework!.
With plenty of good points ( well equipped with all you need for )
Which is a bit cheaper than what the other E Bike dealers / manufacturers offer for the same or similar E Bike. ( every bit counts )
This is the one for you
( !! pay attention to what I told you above first !! )
Yes Buy This E Bike -
I am very happy with the over all E Bike and what it has to offer. 8/10.
