Populo Sport Video Review - $999 Electric Bike, Light Weight and Tuff
bicycles reviews | bicycles videos | bicycles online
https://electricbikereview.com/populo/sport-electric-bike/ The Populo Sport is an affordable, fairly stylish, surprisingly peppy single speed electric bike that would be great for urban riding, available in five frame sizes and four colors. Very affordable at just under $1k, especially considering the wires are internally routed through the frame, the torque sensor is so compact and there are two USB charging ports. Nice looking battery, locks securely to the frame but can be removed for charging or reduced weight... the bike only weighs ~37 lbs with everything attached! Wish the display was removable for protection, no suspension and all-Aluminum frame with narrow tires can be a little stiff, no rack or fender mounts, basic brakes.

Do you have to pedal extremely fast and hard to keep it around 20 mph?

Hi Court!
I just left a message on the voltbike elegant and I thank you very much for your response and even going further getting a code for a better price, you are really awesome.
Your website is so detailed and extensive that when you think you found a great option, you come across to a different great review.
That made me come across this model, populo sport. As I mentioned before, my budget aims for a cheap and reliable option and from what I can read this one hits good points. It looks discrete enough to not get unwanted attention (hopefully saving it from robery) and I think that the accessories missing (fenders, rack and light) can be covered with around 100 bucks using the options you provided. Also... 2 year warranty!
I promise I won't be jumping on any more reviews asking if they are "my new best option" but knowing that the voltbike elegant might be small for me (6'2, 200 lb), what do you think comparing this Populo Sport with the radcity and its $1450 price? (which the sweet 50$ off).
I'm just a little concerned about the 250w not being powerful enough for me and from my Ebike lack of experience I don't know if the lack of throttle is a must when buying one.
I really thank you for your time and attention!

Would you know of any dealers in the NYC area that sell this model?

Hi, How are you ? I'm following your channel and like the content very much. I recently built an fat ebike with 1000w motor, 26A controller, 48V 10ah Battery. The problem is that I'm not get mileage.. It comes nearly 15-18km. Why is that ? Please help!! :(

Another affordable bike, Great!!!

I love this video! https://goo.gl/ws6EJb

250w is europe legal...

Dig it.

good price and it looks very decent too.

It looks similar to the Propella 1.0 bike I bought last year. Their version 1.5 has an intro price of $799. It seems like a good value because it has disc brakes, front quick release, and throttle (in addition to pedal assist). It's a bummer the Propella is the battery is 6.6Amp-Hours. At 4:10 he mentioned the Populo is 10.4Amp-hours (much higher). That probably explains the weight difference of 2lbs. Also very similar as he mentions is the Sondors Thin which is now $598 + $194 shipping. Sondors also has disc brakes and 8.8Ah battery.

Another nice review! What helmet is Sam wearing? Do you know?
-
Overpriced because there's no suspension, has cheapo brakes, no throttle, no light or reflectors, sorry but I'm just not all that easy to impress like most of you.
-
Cheaper and cheaper please :)
-
Cool fixie look 🤘🏼
-
It looks great but the lack of a throttle is a huge bummer. I use it every time I start off on my THIN.
-
I definitely would like a bike like that
-
Very nice bike for the price,hopefully the production will have v-brakes rather than inferior cantilever.v brakes must be cheaper
