Prodeco V3 Outlaw EX 8 Speed Electric Bicycle, Charcoal Graphite Metallic, 26-Inch/One Size

I call this bike, which I purchased in April 2013, "The Beast". The review in Electric Bike is accurate but maybe I have some insights after riding one of these for several months. I'm 6'2", 235 lbs., I got an electric bike because of arthritis in my knees. The Outlaw is powerful. I looked at several, probably ten bikes, and focused on the Outlaw and the Pedego Interceptor. Both bikes are good quality and strong, I rent the Interceptor when traveling because they are more readily available. I tested the Interceptor on hills and it did pretty well but the Outlaw is considerably more powerful to get you moving quickly and to go up almost any hill. The bike is heavy in the back and you can tip, I have, so you have to be careful when riding. I can get about 15-18 miles out of a charge with fairly heavy use of the motor and some hills. The nubby tires the bike comes with are for offroad, I replaced them with tires recommended by Prodeco for street use, they are more quiet and no problems with tire deteriorating with street use. This bike is well-suited for larger, taller people with good upper body strength. Prodeco service to OK to good depending on who answers the phone. I found a local bike shop that can service the bike. The disc brakes need to be adjusted occasionally, they begin to make noises. Otherwise, there's little maintenance. I purchased mine on Amazon, they have good customer service and return policies. I hooked up a piece of Velcro so that I can keep the accelerator on all the time, the thumb accelerator control was not very comfortable and the thumb piece that you push to accelerate actually broke off (replaced for free by Prodeco). There's an on/off button so I can shut the motor off if necessary. There are some safety issues doing this but I find it works well. I don't find the key being in the motor a big problem. In short, I've been very happy with this bike, it makes me feel like a twenty year old and I love keeping up with/passing those skinny guys in the spandex official bike outfits! Because it's a large bike and I'm heavy I do try to be extra careful with other bikers and pedestrians to avoid injury of them or myself. Get an excellent lock, I paid about $100 for mine. For the right person, this is a great bike. - Customer Reviews
