It comes with the rear wheel attached, just have to lock the front wheel on, replace a protective cover on the steering shaft with the handlebars - pop the seat on and you’re ready to ride. All the wiring is hooked up other than the front light which is a simple connector.
My front brake disc seems just warped enough to rub a bit. I will try to correct this myself if it becomes problematic. I’m just thankful to not be flat on my face anytime I have to use the front brakes anyway.
I am 175lbs and wear a backpack when I ride.
My test ride was about 4 miles where it went from 75% to %14, and I was admittedly torture testing it a bit. Riding with just the throttle , or taking off from stopped with the throttle, uses a noticeable amount of battery.
I kept it usually around level 3 out of 5 pedal assist modes for the trip. I live in a very hilly area so half the trip was uphill essentially. I am not sure exactly how the gear ratio affects the battery, but I kept it in the top few gears for the trip, and the whole ride barely felt like a light workout with PAS.
The horn is nice, but I did not get a single person to move, one of their dogs heard me at least. But, everyone has air pods in these days. One of these instances they saw me coming , but didn’t move, so I had to drop off a curb, which knocked the tail light off. I’ll reattach it with zip ties, instead of stretchy rubber strap.
The cable that comes with the rear light, is not even half as long as needed to reach the port on the battery. I have a long one lying around easily, but it was something I noticed. The included rear light seems to be from a separate manufacturer so I am not really upset.
The main thing I wanted out of this bike was to make my commute easier, living in an area where if I can coast downhill for miles , I have to essentially walk a normal bike back home, from how steep uphill it is on the way back. However, this bike made the hills barely noticeable.
Very happy with the purchase and I will update this review with further experience and insight on the battery life and range. If I used about 60% of the battery with leisure use in my conditions, and went 4 miles, I would guess a more realistic full trip in my conditions would yield 7 or 8 mile range tops. Again, I will have a better idea with more trips that start with a fully charged battery.
Edit: I made 2 trips to a place 11 miles away starting with a %100 charge, and in similar conditions as my first ride, the battery got down to about 30%, but again, that same percentage might show 40-45 once the bike is stopped. I would say in my hilly conditions a full charge would get you 15-16 miles, maybe a bit more, especially if you ride in a way conscious of the battery life.
I messaged the manufacturer to ask if they would sell a spare battery and they said they wouldn’t have spares for another few months. Very happy with my purchase, well worth the money
Edit:
I've had this thing nearly 2 months now and thought this review deserves an update.
For the first review, my legs were weak. But, I have been taking the EB5 to commute to and from work every day - 22 -25 miles/day.
So, with that exercise, my legs and stamina have gotten stronger. Now, my legs put so much power to the ground that PAS doesn't even kick in until set to level 3 or 4. After my 11 mile commute - and being conscious of when to tax the battery and when to just get a bit of pedaling in - I can get to work or back home with over 65% of my battery left, even with a rack and loaded basket.
Given that, it could be assumed that in the same conditions, since 11 miles used about 33%, one could comfortably go 33-35 miles before the battery dies.
Some tips:
Don't keep your bike in gears 6 or 7 just because the motor is helping you.
Keep the bike in whatever gear you would normally pedal in - turn PAS to 0 and find that gear -
where your legs arent spinning freely but also not needing too much force -
and then work your way from PAS 0 to whatever mode you feel it kick in.
Then, once you are at a healthy cadence for whatever conditions you're in - imo 12-17 MPH - turn down again to PAS 0, and now the pedaling is super easy as keeping a cadence is much easier than pushing yourself from a stop to a high cadence. Maybe kick PAS back into 1 to allow yourself to manually use the throttle to get back into a cadence, and then down to PAS 0 when your legs can help again.
This way, you are getting some cardio, you are engaged and aware, and maximizing the life of your battery and actually the motor as well - and when you are close enough to your destination, you'll have so much percentage left that you can comfortably give your legs a break and rely more on the throttle.
I had been asking the company if they offer spare batteries - they said not until March - they offered to give me a discount on their new bike if I reviewed it - however not an actual discount, but instead, a partial refund, meaning I cannot afford the initial cost of the new EB7 - and through this conversation they maintain that they do not yet sell spares for the EB5, despite it being halfway through March.
Some complaints:
The screw for the handlebar adjustment comes loose once or twice per ride - it's a quick fix but very annoying, the handlebars become wobbly.
The screw for the rear brake adjustment comes loose as well - again, a quick fix, but dangerous, and some people who don't know might go over-adjusting the brakes at the handlebar level, or deciding their brakes need replacement, without realizing that the screw actually just comes loose.
You cannot remove the rear tire completely. There is a motor cable running into it, which has a point where it seems it should disconnect, but does not actually disconnect, Im sure if you brute forced it you could jerry rig it back together easily but it does not comfortably break away for maintenance on the rear tire. Changing tubes and tires is a bit of a hassle because of this.
There are not enough holes for attaching accessories. There is an unused screw hole on either side of the rear forks, and again unused holes on either side of the seatpost hole - for attaching a rack. However, that is it. no other holes. No indicator as to what kind of screw or thread goes into these holes either.
The connector for the battery is nearly proprietary. I found out it can be found online by searching for "REENTION OUTPUT CONNECTOR" - Reention being the company who makes the cases for the battery used by this bike. It's just a + and - prong but I would have loved, loved, loved to see instead an XT60 or XT90 connector capability. Now, to add my own spare battery, I have to rig up a connector and find a place to strap the default battery since its mount would block access to the battery port. I dont like when companies make DIY harder, that's all.
The rainwater and road dirt in my face and eyes got old pretty quick, so I did add an aftermarket fender. You can't use a regular fender in the front as the headlight blocks where it would normally go, and again, there's no holes for accessories to have any other place to move it to.
But you can use the flexible fenders which attach with zip ties, if you are crafty enough to avoid it rubbing on the tire.
I don't know if this company is just a couple of dudes in an office in China with a couple workers putting together the bikes out of the different parts coming from all kinds of different companies ("Jasion" really just seems to be the frame) but given it does seem to be a quality product and sold as described, I am happy with their efforts and the bike.
Otherwise, all in all, I'm happy with my purchase. I am getting exercise, I feel great, I haven't been ran over yet,
My use case: I'm living in suburbs where a walk to work or the nearest shops would be 30-40 minutes. There's also a small city about 7-10 miles away that friends like to visit. I don't have a car here, so I wanted a means of transport faster than walking and more reliable/flexible than public transit. I now use it for my daily commute (~10mi there and back) and getting into town.
Assembly: Following the linked video was pretty easy, and all pieces/tools needed were there. One of my pieces on the front bracket or something was slightly warped, but everything still fit. The tires come with very low pressure, so make sure to pump em up a smidge before test riding. Otherwise, all went great for me.
Features: Lots of great things, a few minor cons
- Operating modes are great. It's easy to flick between 0-3 levels of pedal assist (PAS) which starts up after you begin pedaling pretty quick, and the throttle is very responsive. Motor is pretty quiet too! All of the buttons are simple and very effective for me so far, and the display is clear and easy to read
- Speed is exactly as advertised. On PAS 3 w/ full battery on a flat stretch ~20 mph (wear a helmet!). Anecdotally it seems like when you're at lower battery, your max speed drops a smidge (maybe down to like 17mph at 2/5 battery). PAS 1 is around 12 mph, PAS 2 around 16. This has been awesome, since you can basically choose how much effort vs. speed you want to put into the commute.
- The battery life is pretty good I think, though I don't have much to compare to. I haven't tested the limits on flat grounds, but I did a 20 mile trip once with a fair amount of hills being very liberal with the battery usage (lots of PAS 3) and it died just as I hit my destination. Mind you I'm a big dude with a backpack full of stuff, probably totaling right around the 265lb recommended weight limit of the thing, so I'd say that it matches the advertised #s fairly. When it talks much longer distances, I'm imagining it means using PAS 1 on a lot on flat stretches for lighter people.
- Battery charging speed is basically as described - it's no iPhone speed, but it's probably safer that it doesn't charge too quick! With the detachable battery, it's super easy to bike somewhere, bring the battery inside and charge it wherever. Charger also has a nice LED that shows when its done charging.
- Brakes are strong. My front brake is squeaky, which is probably a fix-able thing, but it's not too much of a big deal for me.
- The wheels and tires seem fine. I stick to roads and bike trails, and while the center line of the back tire seems to have been chewed down a bit quick, it still seems to work fine. I did go fast over some huge bumps once and blew out the back tire tube. Replacement was as simple as "Unplug the motor. Now replace it like a normal tire / tube", which was easy to follow over Youtube.
- The front wheel suspension is awesome. Makes rides remarkably smooth.
- Front light is bright. Back light is separate from the electronics of the bike/motor/front light but seems fairly bright, works well, and has pretty good battery life from what I've seen
- The paint scratches pretty easily it seems. I'm not 100% sure what I've done aside from get scuffed by an occasional tree branch, but there's quite a few bits of exposed metal around now. Not ideal, but oh well.
- The screw for the handlebars gets a bit loose once a month or so. Easy to fix, just a minor annoyance - definitely don't throw away the tools that come with the bike for assembly!
Tips for use:
- If you're going a fair distance, try to keep PAS low and maintain a fair speed (say >12 mph) instead of just blasting PAS 3 the whole time. Else you may risk the battery running out on you!
- Having a helmet, a mirror for the left side, and a phone holder has been all I needed in terms of add-ons. If you're also new to bike-owning like I was, you also need a tire pump (+ pressure gauge), a bike lock, and probably want a simple repair kit. The few times I've biked through small puddles and things, some water has flicked up at me, so if you live in perpetual rain or are going through muck, mudguards or fenders are probably a fair investment.
- While it's not recommended, I have used this in some pretty heavy rain once or twice, and everything went fine. I wouldn't recommend attaching the battery while the contacts are wet or anything, but seems kinda safe, and if you care to you could probably just cover the battery connection area with plastic or something
Overall: This is exactly what I was hoping for when I got an e-bike! It's incredibly fun and fast, I can put as much effort in as I do/don't want to, and the flexibility of charging the battery wherever is great. Definitely recommend to anyone in the same boat as me who regularly have distances that are too long to walk but short enough that public transit (or driving) is silly. Wish I had one of these while I was in college!
Edit: It’s been about 3 1/2 weeks of ownership.
I still think it’s a good e-bike for the cost. It meets my power needs, look through the manual and turn it into a 5 level PAS instead of the 3Level it comes default factory settings.(this will help conserve power)
I’ll do quick trips around the neighbor hood(groceries, gym, cruzing) roughly 7-10 mile trips there and back.
Usually it’ll knock down half the battery(2-3 bars/5). Im mostly using the throttle, ill PAS up hills.
I’ve stress tested the battery and done 26miles in a day, roughly 70% of my trip was throttle. Didn’t break a sweat and was fun to ride. The assist makes hills effortless. You need to learn how to ride it between shifting gears and the level of PAS you use. Easy learning curb.
So out of the box, my throttle was falling off handles as mentioned before, then the adjustable stem connecting the handlebars kept coming loose so I bought a new one. Doing research I’ve found that the tires that come with it will usually puncture easily so you will need new tires. My rear break was squeaking so I bought new brake pads and replaced it.
It’s a solid bike for the price but be prepared to give some TLC if you wanna make this your daily commuter. In total I’ve spent a mandatory $90 on the replacement parts(new wheels,new grips,new throttle,brake pads,new stem)
Not sure if the stem was a problem for others as I am an aggressive rider and love to take it through dirt and rocks. Popping on and off curbs.
You will probably just need new wheels $30 otherwise it’s a problem waiting to happen if you’re using their factory wheels and you’ll soon be walking home on one of your trips.
I didn’t want to send it back but I’m sure the company would have replaced the other parts if I was willing to wait and reship the bike but I was planning to do these upgrades anyway.
I also have a new bike seat, nothing wrong with the one they give you. It was comfortable, I just wanted more padding for longer trips. I have a rear rack and pannier bag, added the mirrors, phone holder, cup holder, alarm system, FENDERS(you will need) buy cheap ones $5, turning signals and night lights on the wheels.
I must say that you should be carful when installing upgrades because the paint will scratch off if ur not cautious. Not good to leave exposed metal to the elements.
This has been my experience with the bike sofar. It works for me but forsure there are some better options such as the ancheer 500w and maybe the tot guard if it’s a 500w can’t remember but those are also available on Amazon. I will be upgrading my battery and installing a second one soon to 3x the power ($250) so I’m not to worried, eventually I’ll also get a better motor but this is my first e-bike.
If you don’t plan on upgrading your bike and just want something that needs no fixes out of the factory then I’d explore other options.
Assembly
Simple enough, read the instructions and follow them step by step.
Battery
I commute 5 miles each way, with a couple of big hills along my route. The battery will get me at least 2 round trips (20 miles) on a single charge (with charge to spare) and I barely break a sweat.
The charger gets surprisingly hot, place it accordingly.
It takes several hours to recharge, I usually do it overnight.
Removing the battery can be tricky, as it's quite heavy and situated in a place that's easy to get your fingers pinched.
There's a sticker on the inside of the battery compartment that will indicate if the battery has gotten wet.
If the battery dies, yes the bike can still be rode normally (although it is heavier than a normal bike). No it doesn't recharge as you pedal.
Speed
In the highest gear, the bike will easily get up to 20 mph on level ground. Even faster downhill.
The amount of torque can be dangerous if you're using the throttle from a stand still in a high gear. Using the throttle on a low gear can help get through intersections/crosswalks quickly though.
Out of the box the bike has three pedal-assist gears, but I went into the settings to spread it out into 5 to better suit my route and needs. Read the manual for more details.
The mechanical gear shift is a 7-speed Shimano with a thumb shifter - very comfortable and easy to use but not used if you're going over 20mph. Just sit and enjoy the ride.
Comfort
The seat is as comfortable as a bike seat can be. Easily adjustable even for me (6'1").
The grips are ergonomic and comfortable, but you'll have to cut a hole to add a bar mounted mirror (I highly recommend). I also added electrical tape to the brake handles for a more confident grip.
Display
The mounted screen is in the way if you turn the bike over (e.g to change a tire). The screen itself is protected but be prepared to see some scratches on the frame around it.
I wish the display had a clock or altimeter, however, the battery level, adjustable brightness, odometer, speedometer, and current gear displays are sufficient. The trip odometer is a nice feature, but you have to enable the ability to reset it each time you reinstall the battery after charging.
Miscellaneous
The tail light failed after about two weeks, so it's a good thing I also bought a backup from another seller.
My manual didn't come with the second half, (it was the first half printed twice) but it was easy enough to find the full manual for free online.
There is no place to mount a water bottle holder on the frame. I wear a Camelbak-style backpack for hydrating on the go.
The headlamp is easily adjustable for the proper angle, and the horn is loud enough with a unique pitch to get people's attention when needed (even city road workers using loud equipment).
I removed the kickstand because I lean my bike against whatever I'm locking it to and I don't need the extra weight.
---
As always, make sure you can see and be seen as much as possible for a safe ride. I leave the headlamp on at all times, added reflective pinstriping to the frame, and installed an adjustable bar-mounted side mirror on the passing (left) side. There's mixed reviews about whether e-bikes can handle wet conditions but to be safe I avoid riding or leaving it in the rain (get a bike cover).
Overall this is a wonderful e-bike for an affordable price. It's truly a pleasure to ride.
First and foremost, let's talk about the tires. They are more than just decent; they are durable and reliable even when taking the bike off-road. I've tested the Jasion EB5 on rough terrains, and the tires have held up remarkably well. It's a relief to know that I don't have to worry about punctures or grip issues while exploring nature trails or cruising through bumpy paths.
One thing to note is that I had to make some adjustments to the brakes initially, as they were slightly rubbing against the rotor. However, once I fine-tuned them, the braking performance improved significantly, and I've had no issues ever since. The overall braking system is responsive and reliable, ensuring a safe ride every time.
The 360Wh removable battery is a game-changer. With its generous capacity, I can confidently travel up to 40 miles on a single charge, and the 350W brushless motor provides the perfect balance of power and efficiency. This setup allows me to reach speeds of up to 20mph with ease, making my daily commutes faster and more enjoyable.
Assembly was a breeze, and I was thrilled to get the bike up and running in no time. The user-friendly design and clear instructions made it easy to put together without any hassle. Additionally, the fast shipping ensured that I received the bike promptly, allowing me to hit the road without any unnecessary delays.
Having ridden 22 miles so far on this electric mountain bike, I can confidently say that it has been a smooth and trouble-free experience. The suspension system on the front fork absorbs shocks effectively, providing a comfortable ride even on uneven terrain.
In conclusion, the Jasion EB5 Electric Bike is an outstanding choice for adults seeking a versatile e-bike at an affordable price point. Its sturdy tires, durable build, and impressive battery life make it an excellent companion for commuting and off-roading adventures alike. Though I had to adjust the brakes initially, it was a minor inconvenience compared to the overall performance and value this bike offers. If you're in the market for a reliable, high-speed electric bike, look no further than the Jasion EB5 - it won't disappoint
Finally, the bike did not get me up a very steep hill on pure throttle but I am a fat guy at 200 lbs so who knows, maybe my fault. With PAS 5 though, it was for me easy. I still had to exert so I will switch to PAS 9 next time and see how that goes. Yes, it goes that high.
The frame though, and the features, more than make up. Charging took only 3 hrs first time but maybe there was already a charge. I like the fact you can lock the battery. It appears will be very fun to ride. It is a cadence sensor, meaning the PAS kicks in based on your pedal rotation.
Support after sales is very attentive, and kind, and responsive. They filmed a special video for me to explain something. Overall, I recommend this bike.
The battery charge time is only a few hours, and the charge itself last a long time. With throttle alone on down hill, flat, and uphill, i manage around 10 miles. With pedal assist around 40 miles.
600+ miles updated
Fixes/plan for fix
Immediately i would buy new tires and tubes to use, the stock is okay but wont last at all.
At around 100 miles the brake pads wore out, id recommend having some extra multi metallic Length 30.5mm/1.2inch Width 35mm/1.37inch pads.
I would get some good new metal pedals to replace the cheap plastic ones, at around 150 miles they cracked. You can get a good pair of 9/16” metal pedals at walmart for $17.
The crank arms are okay. They are a little wiggly, and the internal thread is cheap. If you change them the stock is a 46, in america the highest is 42. What that means is youll have less power (pedaling until you cant pedal any faster) but it makes uphill easier. I had to make this replacement at 600 miles, i just got a $80 pair but you could get cheaper or better.
The seat is okay but i would recommend getting a new one that you like.
The kickstand bent after the first fall, its good to get a nice one that variable to replace it.
As long as you continue basic maintenance this bike will last you a long time. I still have no need or signs of it wearing down at 624 miles.
I would recommend more frequent checks on the tightness of the handlebars, as they get loose bi monthly with heavy use. The more rough you are, the sooner i would check.
Add-ons suggestions
I would recommend getting some good fenders, best to get one on the front that installs via the fork base as the installed light wont fit with one attached to the fork itself.
Hope this helps!
The ride is smooth and effortless, thanks to the powerful motor that kicks in seamlessly when you need that extra boost. Whether I'm cruising through city streets or tackling hills, the EB5 handles it all with ease. The battery life is impressive too—I'm able to cover long distances without worrying about running out of juice.
The pedal assist and throttle options provide flexibility, so I can choose how much effort I want to put in on any given ride.
Overall, the Jaison EB5 has transformed my daily commute and weekend adventures. It's an absolute joy to ride, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable, efficient, and fun way to get around!
So, considering all this, I cannot be any more enthusiastic about giving this purchase a 5 star review.
Some pros:
* Incredibly good deal at this new reduced price ($450 shipped)
* Installation is very easy
* Great starter ebike...My local shop suggested a $2k bike that had fewer features than this one
* Has a throttle and not just PAS
* Disc brakes (wire, not hydraulic)
* Comes with lights
Cons/things you can buy to really improve the bike:
* The tires puncture easily and you'll want to get tire liners (~20/ea.)
* Brakes needed adjusting, but be careful, somehow my brakes jammed up (even after 50 miles post-adjustment) and I fell over. I still don't know why (rider error? misadjusted brakes?)
* You'll prob want a water bottle holder or other storage, for inner tubes, CO2 cartridges, and other essentials
* Only 36V and 350W, which is basically the minimum. Still super fun and works fine, but I can see wanting to upgrade in a year or two. You'll still do work climbing steep hills, or you'll crawl along
* Fairly heavy
* Could get better range with a better battery, especially at PAS 5 (most fast = most fun)
* LCD isn't readable in direct sunlight
Now I am a mechanical contractor and tradesman, when the bike came in it was missing the 4.5mm Alan wrench, which for me wasn't but a little irritating I just went to my tool box in the garage and grabbed one. But, if someone didn't have the means and was really expecting to put this together same day, then they would have to run to Home Depot and get the wrench needed and hoped they got the right one.
The battery, oh the battery...when I charged for the first time I was expecting it to be like all the other batteries that I have charged, lights indicate red and green showing progress meter, Nope not this. All the lights say green but the bikes LCD screen says it has 1 bar left and lights on the battery show all green, that's not right.
I live about 12 miles from my work, I ride up a moderate hill on the way to work in pedal assis level 3, which is the highest level, and get to work with about 2 bars of battery life left. City streets, crusing around town and trails, you can't beat it. I will be reaching out to Jasion for assistance with this battery.
Hope this helps
UPDATE: 8/8/22
Jasion Support read my review and reached out to me before i had a chance to email them. Anne was great, answered all of my emails, and i was able to get a new screen shipped out and i installed it. Resolved all the issues i was having, with the battery, I have updated my review to from 4 stars to 5!
Thanks again
For $400, you're pretty much getting what you're paying for. If you're new to e-bikes, or even just bikes in general, you should know that they can run you quite a pretty penny. Anything below ~$1,000 for an e-bike, especially for a brand that isn't that well known, you're basically gonna get a bike with a giant battery and a motor slapped onto it.
Now, not that's there's exactly anything bad about the bike. Like I said, it's good for the price. I bought this knowing that I was getting into the "budget" scene, and that's exactly what I got. Here's a few reasons why I'd consider this bike a "cheap, but reliable" option;
Torque
The torque on this bike is insane! Once you get on and pedal up to MAYBE 2mph, it kicks the motor in and will send you flying. If you're not expecting it, you'll probably end up panicking and crashing like I did. The easiest fix for this is just to set the PAS to 0 with the down arrow, which will completely disable the motor. Once you're up to a speed you like, turn the PAS up to 1, then 2, and then 3. It sort of operates like the gear for a motorcycle if you want a smooth acceleration.
Battery
Now, this isn't a dig on the battery itself. When I was first setting it up, it was extremely confusing. It'd light up the "charge" bar, then disappear. I just assumed this meant it wasn't charged, so I went and charged it for an hour. It isn't really obvious when it's done charging, it sort of just shows a red light and that's it. After that hour, I took it out, hooked it up, and nothing, again. I messed around with it for a couple more minutes before it finally seated itself properly, and everything worked. So, please make sure that when you're re-seating the battery that it's fully in. One way to tell is if you lock it and you can see the locking mechanism cylinder popping out of the bottom of the battery (which thoroughly confused me at first.)
In conclusion, it works basically as well as you'd expect a $400 bike to perform. If you want something that wont send you flying at first, then I'd probably suggest investing in something a bit better, such as a Revv1 or any other American made brand. These more expensive bikes will tend to advertise a 'Torque Sensor' which will more accurately give your motor power based off of how hard your pedaling, versus what these cheaper bikes use called a 'Cadence Sensor', which in short will give power only if it senses that you are pedaling. This brand clearly isn't American if you couldn't tell and comes in straight from China, so the quality will be as such. Keep a close eye on the battery as I doubt it's made with any high-quality cells either, meaning increased chances of blowing up if kept in the wrong conditions. Charge it and make sure it's in-sight while doing so, probably in the living room, or your bedroom.
If you want something that's going to last a really long time, or you're gonna use something to commute everyday and have some money to spare, I really do suggest getting an e-bike from a more reputable brand. They'll have all the gadgets that you'll need for a comfortable ride. But, if you're willing to make some compromises, this bike is also totally fine as well.
7 speed settings, although when on like pedal assist 1 and speed 3 you can get 10mph easy. The pedal assist kicks in to act kind of like a force multiplier. You pedal, and the motor adds an extra kick that feels like a body enhancement lol.
The bike on motor only mode isn’t that fast, and won’t go fast by itself (get a scooter if you DONT want to use your legs). But it provides a very nice kick to start your ride. I love hopping on, and turning on the throttle to gain some momentum, find my balance, then begin pedaling to actually go fast. Trust me machine and engine working together = fun.
And it’s STURDY. Absorbs bumps like a tank (you still gotta brace for em tho). I had no idea what I was doing on my first outing and I got tossed off after trying to get onto the sidewalk and hit the curb. I panicked because I thought I wrecked my bike.
Bike: “pffft, not even a scratch”
Highly recommend. Get a helmet, gloves, and it get you where you need to go.
My only issue is I feel one of the brake bars (right brake handle bar) feels a little wobbly and loose. I don’t know how to tighten it. Would greatly appreciate that. Otherwise 10/10 well worth the price.
Battery life works great for me, considering that I commute to & from work/gym everyday, & still have 3 bars left by the time I make it home.
The rides are smooth, reaching at a speed of 20 mph. The motor responds great when accelerating & on those uphill battles. Same goes for the suspension, which work amazing on those bumpy roads.
Customer service was very helpful. They accommodated all my questions & concerns in a timely manner, which I appreciated.
Overall, I'm excited with my purchase. Solid/Great quality for the price, still running smooth 3 months in & a great investment if you're looking to save money commuting. Hands down the best E-bike I've had so far. Highly Recommend!

9/2/23. Update: Finally got to get out for a 10 mile ride last night and I LOVED IT. Bike was great and the extra power helped getting up hills. Only issue found was the derailleur is blocked from getting into the 7th gear by guard. Hope I can find a YouTube video and figure out to adjust. Showed it to a neighbor and he is getting one as well.
The anticipation was palpable when he got the notice on his phone that the bike had been delivered. Had it not been for his pestering boss, my husband would have driven home right then and there to put together his new bike.
Upon arrival at home, dinner was delegated to the last thing on his mind. His bike was all that mattered. Because he’s a man, he chose YouTube to put the bike together vs actually having to read instructions (thank you YouTube !).
The sun was beginning to set and the mosquitos were think like tics on a fat dog, but nothing was stopping him from riding. (Thank you for the almost completely charged battery!)
I must admit it was a bit like watching a child learn to peddle off with no training wheels as he took off down the driveway grinning from ear to ear. Alas, this man child is 54 years old.
He now takes his bike everywhere he goes. To work…yep! Home…yep! To go to the dog park…yep. Liquor store…yep!
In only 2 months he has put almost 200 miles on this bad boy. And he still loves it!
I might say that his constant biking has taken him away from me and our time together, and most (or maybe the word “some”) of the time that might bother me. But while he’s getting healthy, I have ample time to tend to my favorite pastime of reading romance novels! It’s a win/win!
The bike has an ideal weight for both maneuverability and safety. On flat surfaces, the top speed has been around 21.5 mph, while on a decline, I’ve reached 44.2 mph. The seat is surprisingly comfortable, now that I reflect on it. I frequently take this bike on the TRE/DART in DFW and have no issues with size or loading. The front tire has a quick-release clamp hinge, making it easy to remove and perfect for loading into a hatchback. The handlebars can also be easily removed if needed.
The only downside has been the customer service response time. While they do eventually respond, it seems they might be extremely busy or understaffed. I recommend having a reputable bike shop available for small fixes when necessary.
And then I casually searched on Amazon, running into this eBike. I did as much homework as I could on it before getting one. I wanted the black model, but Jasion were out of the black models, so I took the green one.
Putting it together was a PAIN. But when I did, I took it for a test ride. At first I did the regular riding, but when I turned on the electric modes, I TOOK OFF! And I love that it rides itself by twisting down on the throttle, just don't do it all trip because it takes more battery power. It's extremely useful for me to take off.
Speaking of the battery, it's a lot better than I expected. I live in the Patterson Park area of Baltimore, and I went all the way to the Dundalk location of Walmart, and STILL had more than enough juice left! Wow. There was so many places I took this thing to, and I even use it to run errands. You can also take off the battery (though it takes a ton of elbow grease), and even use it to charge other devices such as your phone. I never use it for those things.
It's been almost 3 months now, and it still runs like new. Though that back tire might need to be changed in the near future because it looks like it's worn down.
The only gripe I have with the EB5 is that I can't raise the handlebars up. I don't understand why users can't do that, because it causes me to have hand, wrist, and back fatigue sometimes.
Other than that, I extremely highly recommend it if you want a more affordable eBike. Maybe it's not among the other top of the line eBikes, but to me, who cares.
Updated review; I contacted customer service with questions on the display. I couldn't figure something out. They responded immediately and rectified the problem by giving me detailed instruction on how to setup the display. Awesome customer service.
Update on customer support. I tried to get some answers on the kick stand, minor as it may be. I emailed them and no response back.
We just returned from a camping trip at an Ohio state park. The bikes were perfect. We were able to ride them all over the park and they took inclines easily. I also bought a dog trailer for my 17 pound terrier. It pulls it great and Max loves being included!
We love the bikes!
Update: This company reached out to me and replaced my battery free of charge. They go above and beyond to help customers!
About 2 weeks ago I noticed a change in customer service and it was for the best. They were very responsive. Responding promptly to emails. Providing guidance as well as videos to troubleshoot a system I was not familiar with. They were able to diagnose and ship the needed controller board. Installation of the controller board was simple. I even received a weekend response which I was not expecting.
I hope Jasion keeps up the improvements as the changes I witnessed are for the best.
I recently damaged bike display and brake handle and Jasion customer support has been very accommodating to provide replacement parts at a reasonable price!
It certainly has spurred some positive inquiries from folks seeing me on it. I have no problem with that, as it is a fun ride.
The initial assembly wasn’t to hard if you follow instructions.
It’s a nice smooth ride too, doesn't go to to fast or to slow, it’s good for what I need it for.
The power that it gives is great, it can allow me not to peddle much at all when I don’t want to.
Overall it’s been a good bike for my needs.
a man of my size of 278lb 6'4" this e-bike is not a joke, it's perfect for hills. Excellent brake system and comfort.
And the main reason I bought it because of its name.It reminds me of one of my favorite movie jason born!!!
DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ANYWHERE ELSE. JASON IS WHERE IT'S AT.
This bike has been great! With full power assist is stays between 18 and 20 mph on a flat road. While pedaling the power assist continues. So even on big hills, you are still receiving some assistance. Often I did not even have to use the throttle because as long as you are moving the pedals, it's moving the bicycle for you. It is heavy, so if you strength is a issue, then I would be carefull. The bike also has a light and horn. The LED screen allows you to choose levels 1 through 3. 1 being the slowest.
If things change, I will come back on here to give an update.
The bigger screen gauge! Same speed as ace best e bike
I have already shared the Amazon link with 3 other couples that were impressed when they took ours for a spin.
I’ve biked 8 miles with this in one day and I feel like I could bike another 4 to 8 miles in it and it will be on one bar of battery left. Good power. It is hard to bike without the power on a bit but not impossible.
It is a heavy bike indeed to bring up and down stairs especially but if you don’t mind the weight then you’re good.
The handlebars are low for me.
The gear system could be better.
It is a big deficiency that it does not come with a fender.
The saddle should be changed.
Pros:
The price is very affordable!
It is very fast, I easily saw 20 mph in the city.
Very stylish
The light on it is sufficient.
But the best part is actually the customer service. My most recent bike, the gift for my friend, arrived with a dent in the fork, but when I sent off pictures to the office to ask for a replacement, no only did they follow up quickly, but they did so at no charge! Alas, I need one more piece, and they're actually willing to help me again!
It really is a good, sturdy bike, and being to take off the battery to charge it inside is a game changer. Oh, and putting it altogether is pretty much a breeze. I've worked on three now, so it takes me around 30 minutes if I'm being lazy about it.
I gloat about this bike a lot, but you'll understand if you decide to make the upgrade from manual to this lovely.
Throttle. I dom know if there a fix to my issue. But this I'd a nix bike to have as a starter for ebikes wise.
