Greetings all. I bought the Outsider on August 30, 2021, I bought the bike with the 750w motor off of the calgaryebikes.com website. It's my first bike and my first ebike ever.
I haven't put a lot of miles on it yet as it is my mistake purchase. Thinking that I would be able to jump on and ride off I found that my legs swung above the ground - the bike didn't fit. I tried riding it around for a bit, but when stopped at a light on a steep hill, I didn't feel safe on the road. I put this bike away until the spring of 2022 when I discover platform boots, and I haven't looked back.
I bought the fenders for the bike, it adds weight, but it's a reasonable tradeoff for me in order to stay clean. I use the bike for work and appointments. The rear fender is short does not help to keep dirt off of the seat and rear tail lights.
I find big off road tires and the exceptionally comfy seat make up for no suspension. I have seen suspension fork for this model online and they are not easy to find. How-ever, the newer models in Europe are now shipping with bmx style of handlebars and suspension fork options.
I have had no issues and I wish there were more reviews on this bike.
