FPV Review of the Vetanya Alligator Ebike!

guys what is up we are out riding another ebike yet again and the weather is perfect for it today uh it's been a great day honestly but guys today I have the pleasure of riding the vuan alligator this is I think one of their newer models on their ebike line and so far this bike is a monster I have put around 6 mil or so on the bike already and it has been a blast it's very smooth has probably the most torque I've ever felt out of any other ebike I have ridden so far or at least top three and uh it has a lot of features on it as well so we're going to get into everything for you guys you can see what we're looking at let's waste no more time so guys one of the biggest things with this bike that I noticed immediately after picking it up was the Massive Tires on this thing this bike has 26 in tires on it which is I believe these are the biggest wheels I've had on any ebike that I've owned and you can tell this thing is very tall it stands very high but it is very helpful in the off-road scenarios you're in like right now it really helps smooth the ride out and I like sitting up taller too so that is definitely a great perk that comes with this ebike that is for sure another good feature on this ebike you guys is you have a suspension in the front that can be left open if you are uh riding off-road and you need a little bit of suspension and uh if you're riding on road you can leave it closed so it it's going to just go ahead and completely lock your suspension it'll give you a smoother ride on road and a little bit higher top speed because you won't have that uh again that travel in the front so that's always a nice little add-on feature to the bike keeps it uh keeps it versatile this bike does also have hydraulic brakes which feels great on this thing it's very smooth the brakes are very strong and this bike is very very sturdy feeling and it looks incredibly sturdy as well uh the payload on it is about 400 lb so you are able to uh it can carry a lot let's just say that 400 lb is a lot um they claim top speed on this thing is 28 mph uh right now I'm all thumb throttle the thumb throttle is mounted on the left side and we are cruising at 22/2 23 uh and still climbing so the thumb throttle might take us all the way to the 28 if it doesn't we are going to do a top speed test and pedal assist to see what it can get us to the bike's display looks great we'll go ahead and do a rundown of that really quick for all you guys that want to check it out uh you have your speedometer right in the middle on the top beneath that is your pedal assist setting right now we are on five it goes 1 through five and beneath that you have your odometer and then just to the left of your pedalist this number is going to be your battery percentage as well that's where you're going to keep track of your battery obviously uh and the display is mounted vertically which looks nice on this bike it really does the bike does come with a typical Shimano shifter sspeed so if you don't want to use a pedal assist or the battery at all the motor you can go ah and shut it off and you can just shift through your gears and just pedal and so far I think it adjusts very smoothly like any shifter would how you'd expect and the pedal assist uh really kicks in really well when you're pedaling this thing really really wants to go I mean we're already going uh call it 25 mph and I'm not even pedaling crazy fast so this thing will easily go 28 guys we're going to go ahead and turn around here and get our top speed test in really quick so what I'm going to do since we're going to do it in the road is I'm going to lock the front suspension really quick so we don't have any travel holding us down here let's go ahead and lock that up perfect we're locked up I you can see how quickly this thing takes off and it's cool it has a little RPM gauge wrapping around the top of your speedometer here and uh right now guys I'm not even pedaling all that fast I mean I'm kind of just we're already well over 28 29 I think I got that thing just shy of 30 mph so this thing Cooks if you're willing to put a little bit of work in that's for sure we're going to call it 30 m hour top speed so that's quick or I should say that's fast but guys what we're going to do is pull over here give you guys some B- rolls you can see what this bike has to offer it has a really Sleek look it's really really sturdy has a great look to it we're going to go into the spec so you guys can check it out let me park it up here all right guys this is the Vu alligator ebike and uh like I said this thing's a monster guys we're going to go ahead and start with the heart of the bike per usual the battery which is mounted right up here in the frame is a 48 volt 20 amp hour a Samsung lithium ion battery I believe but this thing is great I think it's going to give you around 70 to 90 m per charge depends on what kind of pedal assist you are using obviously um it also has security feature with the keys there's a spot for for the keys to go Ahad and pop this battery out you can pull the battery out and charge it inside by yourself or just take it out for security purposes if you have this thing parked outside it is a step through style bike which means there's no crossbar here so it makes it a lot easier for shorter Riders to step through like this and stand on the bike without it being too tall for them this is best suited uh for 53 to 68 5'3 to 6'8 Rider so you do have a big window there kind of works for a very vast uh variety of riders so you really don't have to worry too much about that uh it does have a Cadence sensor headlight and a tail light as well they are integrated well the tail light is it'll go ahead and flash when you're braking and things like that so that is always super nice have for safety you have a cargo rack on the back for storing or bringing anything along with you uh vuan on their website has a ridiculous amount of accessories you can buy to mount to this bike so you will see all kinds of threaded holes here on the bike where you can go ahead and mount and kind of build out your own design here for this bike which is really cool and a lot of fun the bike does weigh just shy of 75 lb so for the size of it it's really not that heavy of a bike surprisingly again for the size like I said these tires they take about 20 psi and these things are massive like I said guys 26x 4 in tires these things are huge again guys this bike also does have hydraulic brakes like I said which is always such a good thing the seat is fully adjustable per usual and it does have also some suspension in as well so if you hit any big bumps the seat is going to kind of uh suspend for you a little bit give you some travel so that's always nice for the butt the pedals are sturdy the crank set is aluminum alloy it's all very solid nice and light too uh comes with a rear fender to keep the back clean also a front but as you guys know I really never put the front fender on cuz I think it looks better without it I do keep it though just in case I change my mind it does have a KMC rust proof chain which is always nice definitely make sure to maintain your chain and on that note you guys this bike is going to take you about 5 to 6 hours to charge from dead so nothing crazy there and it does a great job charging up and Guys these grips are definitely uh pretty premium for what the bike is they're very comfortable offer some relief for your pressure points in your hand and they are like stitched leather I believe it's a composite not real leather but they feel nice very very nice you have a headlight button here on the left side to turn your headlight on and off and you have a horn on this side which is actually very loud and then on the right side you have an M button which is going to play as your power button and you can uh go ahead and click through it so you have your time uh your mileage miles for this trip the voltage going out and things like that so uh that's very and the time is your time of this trip how long the bike has been on and then your arrows here um on the right are obviously to click through your pedalist this modes and guys the vuan alligator is going to be sitting right around $1,600 give or take so for the price you are getting a lot uh for the bike a lot of quality like I said this thing is a it's a big bike and it's beefy it feels very quality especially for the price once again and it's very versatile you can buy all kinds of things for it like I said attachments or you can just get it how it is is if you like a bigger taller ebike this is definitely going to be an option for one uh to put on your list that's for sure so one last test we're going to do guys before we are done we're going to go ahead and unlock the suspension in the front and go in this dirt really quick so I can see what it feels like I've already ridden this thing Offroad and it feels very smooth for being a hard tail and what hard tail means for any of you guys that don't know is it does not have any suspension in the back just the front uh but this does a very good job with the giant wheels and suspension in the front keeping it nice and smooth even when you are Offroad so I'm going to go and close my viser here so we don't get a bunch of dust in here so yeah if you're going to be going on any trail riding or anything like that uh this bike is going to have no issues doing that for you guys another thing worth noting is I do believe this bike has cruise control so if you're going to hold the throttle in one position for a while it is going to lock your speed there for you and another thing as well is depending on what pedal assist mode you have it in the throttle is going to react accordingly so if you in one pedalist this mode your throttle is really only going to take you about 12 miles an hour if you are in five it's obviously going to max out so keep that in mind this thing has plenty of torque you can literally burn out do donuts in the in the dirt if you'd like uh it has the power it has the torque I've noticed that from the get-go uh but yeah guys off-road right now feels great nice and smooth and I really don't have any complaints for it being off-road it can handle off-road it can handle onroad it seems like it can pretty much handle it all so again guys with all of that being said I give this bike a big two thumbs up for sure this thing definitely for the price feels good I like it again for me it's nice and smooth it's versatility is there on off-road there's a lot of accessories you can buy like I said so if you are looking in the range of $15 to $2,000 for an ebike definitely put the Vu alligator on the list or any of their other models so I'll have the link in the description for you guys to check out if I can get a discount for you guys you'll see it in the description uh but again guys thank you so much for watching the video if you are interested like I said everything's in the description and I will see you guys on the next ride
