I recently hit 200 miles on my f3.2, and so far it’s been a blast. here’s what i think after a bit over 1 month of owning and riding it.
Acceleration/Torque (10/10) I’ve owned a macfox x1, tried dual battery bikes, and played around with several friends moped style ebikes. I can say with certainty that it accelerates like no other moped style ebike that i’ve ever ridden on (other than the goat bikes). The geared hub motor is no joke and i can reach 20 miles from a stand still in under 5 seconds. Comparing it to my friends Motor Goat v3, i would say that the f3.2 has slightly more low end (0-15) and acceleration is similar until 25 ish mph and after that the goat starts pullung away. And holy shit it probably has the best hill climbing ability out of any ebike under $3k. There’s a steep 30-35% incline on a hill near my area and out of all the bikes that are not e motos that ive tried to make up the hill have failed (my maxfox barely made it 10 feet). Not this one. From a standstill, at the bottom of the hill, no throttle it got up the hill entirely on its own at around 7-8 mph.
Top speed (8/10): I was expecting the top speed to be a bit higher (38-39mph) especially after the 45 amp controller upgrade. It was a bit underwhelming that the top speed i got was 35-36 mph, which is still respectable. riding in the local street lanes it is slightly slower than cars. In this aspect the goat bikes are definitely faster and keeps up with local speeds better. I would say acceleratation is strong up until 30 ish mph and after that it tapers off, especially if the battery is in the lower percentages
Range (9/10): I get around 17-20 miles, keep in mind this is going up some hills and going somewhat fast. It would definitely get more range if you limit speed to around 20 miles and i would expect it to get around 25-30 mph doing so.
Comfort/Suspension (9.5/10): The rear shock (KKE BA-27) is absolutely the best rear shocks ive ridden on in these moped style ebikes, i would even argue that it is better than some of the e-dirt bikes out there. it eats up bumps like its nothing and it’s definitely feels cloud-like. The only reason why this section is not rated a 10/10 is because the front forks, while adjustable and gets the job done, isnt the best. If you’re willing to spend the extra 400/500 on the f3.2x pro model which comes with a kke front fork this section would easily be a 10/10.
Handling/Fun Factor (9.5/10): This is definitely one of the lightest e-mopeds (85 pounds with battery) that ive ever tried. Because of this, the handling is very quick and it feels like a blast. From a standstill when you accelerate it feels more like a e-moto than a e-bike. The fun factor is off the charts as the combination of the instant torque of the geared hub motor, the suspension, and the light weight of this bike makes it a blast to launch. If you’re not careful the front wheel can definitely lift if your foot is on the ground at a standstill. The turning radius is a bit worse than most bikes because of the way the frame is built which is why this section is not a 10/10
Reliability/Components (9.5/10): After 200 miles, ive had no issues yet. The usage of peek material motor gears, break components, kke suspension, and the advanced display makes the bike feel premium. my only concern is there is a wobble to the battery but that can be fixed with straps. Ive heard other people having issues with their controllers but im pretty sure those are the f4x models so for now this is the score. Additionally customer support is California based and responds fast so that is a good bonus.
Mods/Customization (8.5/10): There are so many colors to choose from (like the purple i got) and the right colors can really make the bike stand out. There are aftermarket upgrades that can be done to this bike from Powerful Lithium. Because of this if you are looking to upgrade this bike it is possible to, but battety modding is kind of limited because of the way the frame geometry works. There is an optional $325 seat which ive not tested yet but from what i know it makes the bike more comfortable and has a 2 inch rise in seat height.
Overall score (9.1/10): This bike is definitely a blast to ride and its standout features are acceleration out of a dig, suspension, and comfort. If you’re looking for a bike that has a 40+ mph top speed and long range than this is not the bike to get. Get the motor goat for that. But overall i would definitely recommend this bike over cheaper “fast” bikes like the tuttio ICT because of the components used.
My bike has become my bff!
-my husband and I have elevated our lives so much by buying these bikes
We jump on our bikes nightly to see a lake sunset or just to feel the wind on a warm summer night . We can get downtown faster than in a car thanks to the awesome Minnesota trail system
Iride to work and I walk in with a happy face every time
sad news alert :
My bff was stolen on Monday. It’s been four days and I just ordered another one.
I can’t live happy without my ghost cat!!
This e-bike company is clearly one of the best in the game. Get a F4X Pro now, it’s so much fun.
Customer Service is pretty dope too.
Thank you GhostCat 👍🏾
In an age of over-hype it is a great pleasure to find a company that under promises and over delivers. Loving every minute with my new F4XPRO.
A few of the parts broke, including the controller, and recently, the kickstand got ripped off, there is nothing to screw in but it’s okay, they have me a new controller, and recently, the pedal assist activated as I was picking up the bike, due to the broken kickstand launching it into a stream 3 feet deep. The bike was completely submerged and still somehow works!
