This is my first E-Bike. When I was younger, I had a lightweight road bike and could ride all day. But now I’m older, have a bad knee and am pushing 300 lbs. My plan is to try to get in better shape by using the Pedal Sensing Cadence Assist and only resort to the Twist Throttle when I can’t keep up with the grade or terrain.
I did an extensive amount of research before buying the Biktix Stunner. I figured out that a large Mid-Drive motor would best use the mechanical advantage of the rear hubs gear ratio to get me up steeper grades. The 750W Bafang Mid-Drive Motor with 120 Newton meters of torque is about as good as it gets. The 5-speed internally geared Sturmey Archer rear hub was also a big selling point, because you can shift down quickly (without pedaling) as you approach changes in terrain.
I upgraded to the 48V 17.5 AH 840Wh battery, which based on my usage so far appears to be capable of a 50+ mile range. The Dual Piston Hydraulic 160mm Disc Brakes are adequate to stop the stunner with my weight on the bike, but I did consider upgrading. The SR Suntour Front Suspension is a nice feature and helps take up the worst of the bumps. I wished the bike also came with a Suspension Seat post, but I’m working on that easy upgrade. I also thought I would replace the seat, but so far so good … it is actually quite comfortable.
I have taken several rides now ranging from 5 to 12 miles. The bike has loads of power. It has been capable of powering up any hill I have encountered so far and will easily pedal or throttle to 20+ MPH very quickly on flat ground. The upright riding position is very comfortable and the step-through option was a most have with my bum knee. The frame seems very robust and in general the bike seems very capable of handling my bulk. I would have opted for the Stunner-X Fat tires to facilitate a smoother ride, but that model doesn’t offer the Sturmey Archer rear hub. The 2.3 inch tires are a good compromise.
My only concern with the Stunner at this early stage is its relative lack of maneuverability (inability to steer thru tight corners). This is a big heavy bike, but in may also be a personal issue due to my weight causing the bike to be top heavy. The upright stance and frame geometry of the stunner probably doesn’t help either?
Overall I am very happy with my purchase of the Biktrix Stunner. It has the power and features I need to handle my weight and physical limitations. If you are a rider in better shape and half my size this bike might be more than you need? But of course the paddle assist is always adjustable and regardless of the riders size this bike would seem to be an excellent daily commuter, or long ride trail bike.
I was very impressed with the workmanship, it took me about 5 hours to assemble my trike, leisurely working with breaks. The paint job was impeccable, I use to paint cars and believe me this paint job would work on any vehicle and be beautiful. First ride went very well smooth, shifted very good, the only problem I had was thd front top tube came loose,so I'm going to use small hose clamps to secure the tubes. I have looked at many trikes and for my money, why should I pay twice the price for the same quality and workmanship? Thank you performer for a fantastic trike,I will be purchasing a second rtrike for my wife in the future. Lastly watch the videos on youtube, they are a great help, I purchased the JC26X, 30 speed with a mesh seat. I have both knees replaced, this is by far the most comfortable ride I've ever had, looking forward to many years of riding.
We love our scooter! We are seniors with a 1/2 acre lawn. We anticipate making great use of it. However, we had a dickens of a time putting it together! The instructions were so poorly written we had to make numerous phone calls to UPZY. We really appreciate the help we got from them. We couldn't have put it together without their help.

Shipping was fast and packaging was sturdy. The bike is lightweight, easy to fold/unfold. Very high quality and well put together. Didn't need to put in a lot of strength when riding on it. Definitely recommend for commute.
Purchased 2 Apollos Focus 9 125cc and I'm very happy with my purchase. Quads were delivered in excellent shape and pretty fast. Had them for 2 weeks now and no problems at all. My kids are having a blast. Gina from customer service was great and answered all of my questions. Would definitely recommend and I'll be purchasing from Upzy again!!! Thank you Gina!!!!
Very good i got my bike working again
Little heavier than what I expected but it will work easy to assemble just took a couple hours the only problem is that it takes a special air pump to put air in the tires that I had to go out and buy it separately
Bike I bought from the website no longer in stock. Upzy got in direct contact with me about a replacement. Shipped quickly.
Everything was as ordered.
The Dahon Vitesse i7 is a beautiful and functional bike. I purchased it for my wife, who following knee surgery wanted a bike on Whitaker felt more secure. It fits the bill perfectly and I’ve never seen a bike get more compliments when out riding.
I love it! Nice and easy to assemble. I love using my own scooter instead of the ones at the stores. Would recommend this for anyone who is thinking about purchasing.
I love my new electric bike. It really helps on the hills. Great beginning bike
Ordered a 2020 eastern bike. Couple days later upzy got back ahold of me, they can't get it in a regular time. But offered options for a 2019. Kinda a bummer. But they gave me a extra discount, which was nice. The bike came within a week so nice job.
Folds as easy as described. Came fully assembled. Just had to adjust the seat and attach one peddle. Peddles fold in, too! Rides fine & I'm 6-1", 215lbs! Get one, you'll be glad U did👍
Very good bike, arrived at a good time, nice bike.
2020 QuietKat Ranger 48V Suspension Fork Fat Tire Electric Bike
Would have give five stars as the process to order was very easy! The only issue was shipping, I could not track the shipment as well as I wanted.
We ordered two of the BFR-3 Safari for our 6- and 9-year old grandkids to ride out on the farm. So far, they love them! They appear to be very well made, sturdy, heavy-duty, but not too heavy for small kids to operate. We love the ease of moving the seats closer or further, and have even ridden the go-karts ourselves. We debated about getting the XXL frame to allow for growing kids, but the regular frame works for most adults, too. We haven’t had them long enough to know whether the 3-gear option was worth the extra money for our pasture, but I’m sure we’ll learn in the coming months. The assembly instructions are universal – pictures only without words – but weren’t too challenging. (We’re still married, anyway. No cause for divorce here!) We managed to get a fender on backward and had to adjust that, but we were very impressed that all the tools needed to assemble it come with it. Right now we give it all the stars, and will be happy to revise or update this review in a year to let you know how well everything held up and operated once the little destructo-kids have done their worst.
Really satisfied with the product. I am going to order another psrt.
I have the emails to prove how great the team at Upzy was to work with during the recent purchase of my fenders and rear pannier bag for my bike. These items had been out of stock everywhere I called and most times, I never got a response by email or phone call. The Team at Upzy not only let me know these items were out of stock, they told me they would be in touch when they were available. I did not have my hopes set too high but sure enough they reached out to let me know the order could be placed. Very friendly and helpful. I will be making many more visits and calls to Upzy.
