Will you choose it?

[Jacky Zhou]

No. I ride for exercise and fat tires are a big drag without power. I only use power for wind >12 mph in my face, or a week when my knee is useless due to a twist incident. I ride 2.1" x 26" tires at 45-60 psi. 30 miles at 4.4 mph as in windy 9/2018 is too much exercise.
I also severely object to a brown stripe up my behind or on pants legs when I get to the store, restaurant, or concert. Or back home again. Showers are time wasters if I did not need to get dirty. I don't sweat until temperature goes over 96 F. Muddy clothes have to be hauled to the coin laundry on the bicycle since the Maytag washer started trying to wash clothes in 2" of water at 15 months of age. The nearest coin laundry to my summer camp is 8 hilly miles away, about 70 minutes without power.

I think those e-bike manufacturers should listen to the real feedback from the riders instead of building something flashy.

E-bikes are not electric motorcycles.

Also, a 1000wh battery (from their web site) is unlikely to be able to push that 1000w motor for forty miles with a rider. Or "up to 90 miles" at any level of pedal assist.

Also, it is very weird that it appears to have both a hub motor (mentioned on the web site) and a mid drive motor that isn't mentioned at all.

No middrive, some companies fashion the controller box to look sort of like a middrive, not sure why? My advise to OP is to buy an actual Middrive powered Fatbike. I love fatbikes because i can commute with them and also blast over debris and ride through the thick mud and gunk we have on the farm, im not sure a hub motor fat bike would even be able to pull through stuff like this.
If OP is just looking for a commuter or light trail bike this will probably be fine.

I purchased a vetanya Bison. Big mistake. 1st the controller broke down in about a month. They took 2 months to send me a replacement and the replacement was defective. I have no idea how lone ti will take io get it fixed and rideable if ever. it also shipped with some cheap parts other then the ones that where specified on their site and they never sent me the correct parts even after many requests. As of now I have a piece of junk I paid well over $1000 for and am not pleased. I will never buy from them again or recommend them to anyone. Their site is misleading as they claim they are located in California but actually these bikes are produced, and shipped by a company called HK JIARUI CHENG ELECTRONIC COMMERCE LIMITED in china, Also any parts are also shipped from China and take an exceptionally long time to arrive if they actually ship at all.

the proper one with the proper controller and battery can,note that a lot of ecycles are hub driven( not your 250 watt 36 volt variety)
