I researched ebikes for two months before deciding to pull the trigger on six Eahora Azarias (one for me, my wife, son, son's fiance, step-son, step-son's wife). My wife and I already had ebikes but wanted to upgrade to a better performing ebike with full suspension.
1. Shipping: arrived within four days of placing order (four sent to Ohio). My step-son and his wife, who live near L.A., got theirs in one day!
2. Assembly: handlebar, front wheel, fender and light, seat and petals. Half an hour on the first, 15 minutes on the second. I had to adjust the mechanical disc brakes slightly on both bikes. Very easy to do.
3. Performance: PAS 1-5, 1 = 11 mph, 2 = 16 mph, 3 = 20 mph, 4 = 23 mph, 5=28+ mph. This thing takes off like a rocket and has cruise control when you need it! I got up to 32 mph on a slight incline, paved straight-a-way. We went 14 miles in PAS 2 and didn't use ANY bars on the battery (level bike path with pedaling)!
4. Nice to haves: Full-suspension, front and rear lights, rear rack, electronic horn, comfort seat, disc brakes, 3 amp charger - 4 hours max time to recharge, 48V x 18Ahr = 864watt battery pack (1,000 cycle life), 3-inch tires are perfect for streets AND trails, only 56 lbs with battery, oh, and it folds for easy transport!
5. Build quality: Outstanding. The bike looks/feels solid and rides like a Lexus.
6. Price: $999 each, shipped, no sales tax. There is NOTHING remotely close to these specs for this price.
Team Azarias, you did a great job. We love…
