“Living in Texas, I enjoy riding in the late eve when it cools down. Thus, the [integrated] lights and the brightness make the bike great. Also, being older, I love the throttle which makes starting off at a light much easier and safer. I love the actual feel of the bike... strong and able to handle what I enjoy doing.” -- Philip D.

“Was fairly easy to assemble with YouTube videos. Head and tail lights on the bike are a nice feature. Throttle is separate from the grips so is much safer to ride.” -- Ronald H.

“This bike is a perfect fit for me! All the parts arrived in pristine shape. Assembly was to be expected, nothing too challenging but I also had a family member helping...The bike had an amazing amount of 'Cheat Juice' (as I call it).
