Pretty fast
The maximum speed of the X-Treme Trail Maker is about 18 - 20 miles per hour (32 km/h) when using the battery alone, and that speed can be further increased by pedaling.

Con
Assembly can be confusing
The XB-300li is assembled the same way as a regular bike, but the process can still be confusing. Unfortunately, X-Treme doesn't include any assembly instructions in the box.

Con
Bad customer support and warranty handling by Green Max Distributors
In the case of a defect or dead-on-arrival, the buyer is required to pay for shipping costs to the manufacturer, and support tickets take a long time to respond, can be contradictory or don't get resolved at all. The bike comes with a 90 Day X-Treme Warranty, and a 6 Month warranty on the battery.
See More
Top
Pro
Supports a high maximum rider and cargo weight
The maximum capacity weight is specified at 350 pounds (158 kg), whereas other electric bikes in a similar price category only allow a maximum capacity of 250 pounds (113 kg).

Con
Inaccurate battery level meter
The integrated battery level meter isn't always accurate and is prone to some technical bugs. The battery level often changes from four to two stripes depending on how much you paddle but doesn't seem to indicate an accurate reading overall.

Pro
Offers a decent range for bikes in this price category
The XB-300li features a 20 - 25 mile range (32 - 40 km), which isn't at the top of the line compared to some other devices such as the Xiaomi MiJia QiCycle, but is still very decent for similar bikes in this price category.

Motor drag adds resistance when riding without power
Although the XB-300li can be used without power, the motor drag adds a slight, albeit noticeable resistance and requires you to paddle harder.

Pro
Extensive Gocycle Connect app, features anti-theft
The GoCycle G2 can connect to your smartphone and a companion app via a Bluetooth connection and allows improved customization of your bike and also monitors different aspects such as speed limits, power mode and battery life. You can also keep the bike itself up to date with the Connect app, as it's possible to update the bike's firmware through the application. In the case of a technical failure, the app is able to generate a maintenance log for future reference. Another feature of the Connect app is the ability to upload custom maps: you can specify parts of that map where the Gocycle should provide motor assistance. In case of a stolen G2, the app allows the user to remotely lock the bike if someone else tries to pair with it.
See More
Top
Con
Very expensive
With a recommended retail price of $3500, the Gocycle G2 isn't exactly the cheapest option on the market. For example, Xiaomi is releasing a fully electric bike that's also foldable for a fraction of the cost - the MiJia Qicycle - while other brands are producing electric bikes with similar specifications at only a third of the Gocycle G2's price.

Top
Pro
Great handling of the bike
The Gocycle G2 has a good weight distribution across the frame of the bike which results in a great handling of the device.
See More
Top
Con
Doesn't support high passenger and cargo weight
The maximum total weight specified by Gocycle for the G2 is 250 pounds (113 kilograms), which is fairly low compared to some other electric bikes. They also specify that under this maximum weight of 250 pounds, the bike may not function properly. For example, the X-Treme Trailer Maker supports weights up to 350 pounds (159 kgs).

Good for commuting long distances without charging
The maximum range of the Gocycle G2 is measured at an impressive 40 miles (65 kilometers), an excellent result for a compact, foldable electric bike.

When using this adjustment, the Gocycle G2 is faster than the majority of all electrical bicycles.

Variable assistance, according to the needs
This e-bike has three different levels of assistance: Eco, Sport and Turbo. The Eco level only helps you to maintain speed, whilst Turbo will kick in almost immediately and will push you forward with great effort. The exact amount of assistance levels for each mode can be fine-tuned in the smartphone app so you can personalize the bike to your needs. The battery capacity should be enough for most everyday commuters, as it can go as far as 50 miles in Eco mode or 25 miles in Turbo mode.

Won't attract unwanted attention
The bike is designed in a way that from a distance, it’s hard to tell that it has a battery and a motor. The battery is seamlessly integrated in the down tube while the motor sits hidden in the bottom bracket. It does have a built in headlight, a display mounted on the handlebar and a taillight that works as a brake light, but the rest looks like an ordinary bike so it’s less likely to attract thieves and will blend in the traffic with the rest of the bikes.

Con
Heavy to transport
The total weight of the Watseka XP bicycle weighs in at 72.5 pounds (a little over 32 kgs), which is significantly higher than some other electrical bikes such as the 51 lbs X-Treme Trailmaker. This is mainly due to the heavy battery, which weighs 22 lbs on its own.

Budget-friendly
Out of all the electrical bikes available in the Western market, the Watseka XP Cargo is one of most inexpensive options.
See More
Top
Con
Battery quality is questionable
Watseka has opted for lead acid non-lithium batteries, which are cheaper to produce but also less efficient and heavier. Lithium batteries also last longer, which results in a somewhat limited range of 18 miles (29 km) for the Watseka XP.
