To your last question, I'm riding the the Phantom X for one year and over 1200 miles and must say it works well. I got used to throttle only. However, pedal assist would be nice for longer distances which would give you more even power and can control the battery life much better. It depends on...

I only have a throttle on my Prodeco tech Phantom X and I wish I had pedal assist sometimes. Both would be nice.

Over the past few years I test rode what ever bike is available on the market. Last year I bought the Prodeco Tech Phantom X with a 500 watt geared rear motor and has a throttle only, no power assist. I love the torque on this bike climbing up the steep hills, but no matter what on how hard I...

Thank you for all your feedback, I do appreciate the comments. I was reading an interesting article on changing the gearing on the sprockets. Increasing the front sprocket to 52 teeth and reduce the small back sprocket to 11 teeth. Any comments regarding this kind of modification? Yes I'm on...

After researching electric bicycles for one year now I ordered the Prodeco Phantom XR 5 through an e-bike dealer in California. I test rode different brands and different kinds of motors, but did not had a chance to test ride the Phantom before my purchase. Overall the bike looks great and I...
