Good

Receive the bike a couple days prior to the expected date. I like that.

Love the bike! The speed is so nice and the suspension is great. The range is also fantastic. The rear pegs are so useful for passengers or wheelies

Awesome

This E-Bike is very Cool ( I am an old guy, so I still call things Cool ). It is also Heavy, and that is a good thing, once you get it out of the box and assembled. A word about the assembly, the written directions are minimal, and I am not a scan and utube guy. Remember I am older. Anyway, I would be happy to be contracted to write or re-write the assembly guide part of the manual, I am very good at that sort of thing. Once assembled the Kepler is very impressive and sturdy. I have several E-Bikes and this one is as good as all of them, but not better, and that is okay. the handling of the fat tire bike is more like a motorcycle than like a bicycle, it is slower to enter into direction changes but very positive once you get turning. So far I have ridden the Kepler 8 times and still have 45% battery life showing on the meter. It arrived with 73% so I just got on it and went riding. I live on a hill so most of the time I use the motor to assist me getting up the hill to get home, remember this thing is Heavy. But while riding on paths and streets I am a peddler so I use very little battery. My other e-bikes are geared for more variety of terrain and I use even less assist. The Keplar is geared more for cruising in my mind, with only one chain ring at the crank set, and higher ratios at the cassette. I will probably never use the 6th and 7th gear. After a month of ownership I am pleased with the Kepler. I have noticed that several of the bolts (seat bolt, handle bar set bolt, front axle nuts ) like to loosen up after just a few rides, I am hoping this tendency becomes less over time. I have already had to deal with a flat tire unfortunately, this was a bit of a disappointment. I will be adding some green slime or other product to help against this in the future. I do not want to have to remove these wheels and tires to fix flats. the thorn that caused the flat was 2mm in length, so I was surprised it actually penetrated the tire into the tube. Thankfully it was the front tire, and thankfully the slime I added has sealed the leak so far. All of my bikes are different, and offer me a wide variety of cycling experiences, both electric assist and traditional road and mountain cycling. I look forward to years of use from the Kepler. I keep my things well maintained and this makes them last. My carbon frame road bike is 18 years old and functions like new.
