Jetson BOLT PRO – EV Range – After a Week of Riding…

After owning the Costco Jetson Bolt Pro ( https://amzn.to/2X8dLBf – Costco $299)for over a week. Here is my first full review video and EV range tests. My Youtube vlogs may have associated affiliate links to products that I may earn from qualifying purchases.

EV range was pretty consistent during the weeks worth of riding. I use the Bolt Pro to travel 2 miles to my local bakery or donut place for coffee in the morning. This has enabled me to go further and more often. When riding on flat pavement and only use throttle with out pedaling I get about 13-15 miles and charge every time after a ride.

This time I took my Jetson Bolt Pro to a parking lot and structure to test out the ev range on a incline. After running the motor up and down the parking structure, it has drained the battery much quicker. I must have rode around the incline about 6 times. It drained so fast that the battery indicator when from FULL to no lights. The bike slowly lost propulsion. I am so glad it had pedals to i can bike home.

For this video I am trying out new camera i purchased online. Its the Insta360 ONE R – Twin Edition camera ( https://amzn.to/3i47DSs ). Its also listed on my Amazon Store below.

The Jetson Bolt Pro ( https://amzn.to/2X8dLBf – Costco $299) is great for camping and urban cruising. You just sit and use the electric motor to speed to 15 mph, pedaling is optional. You can set the it on cruise control to 15 mph simply by twisting the throttle all the way down and hitting the button to lock in the speed. If you pedal the motor automatically assists you to the maximum pedal speed of this bike 15 mph. Its compact and fun. Its not slow but its also not crazy fast. The 14 inch tires wide enough to be stable and comfortable to handle cracks and pavement. I believe its safer than a scooter. It weight 41 pounds which makes transporting it a bit of a pain since it doesn’t fold down small. Also, it may be too small for larger adults, you may need a longer seat stem – a visit to a local bike store will fix that. This is the perfect urban fun recreational bike.

For all my bicycles, I will equip them with the following:
Sterling W – Amazon Store : https://www.amazon.com/shop/sterlingw

Folding Bicycle Pedals: https://amzn.to/3jMzoAF
This saves shins from being bruised. I also makes transporting and storage easy. Makes walking along side a bike convenient.  

No Screw / Strap Water Bottle Cage: https://amzn.to/2COYYod
For bicycles with out bosses or screw mounts for water bottle cages. Strap-on or no-screw water bottle cages can be mounted on the bicycle seat stem or the front stem. I have one on my Vilano Atom as it does not have any bottle cage mounts.

Combination Cable Lock: https://amzn.to/39z1PNV
Lightweight but not very secure. Very useful if you are stopping for 5 minutes to get a coffee or soda. I have one for my bicycles and carry a U-Lock bike lock ( https://amzn.to/330szpj )if i need to stay longer than 20 minutes.

Bicycle Seat Wedge Bag: https://amzn.to/3g4AdT8
Very convenient to store a extra bicycle tube, basic bike tools, keys, cell phone, or first aid during a bike ride. I have one for all my bikes. They even make them with water bottle holders now: https://amzn.to/3fgJYwx

Bicycle Multi-Tool and Tire levers: https://amzn.to/308oXzN
Very useful if something comes loose or if you get a flat tire and need to change a tire tube or patch a tire.

I wanted to buy this unique e-bike due to it’s small size and weight. It was a good Costco Find for $299. It was cheaper than importing one from China. I had bought other bicycles from Costco such as the NorthRock XC00 ( https://youtu.be/scQ0BT-avXE ) and some fast e-bikes from Amazon like the Vilano Atom folding e-bike ( https://youtu.be/liOwOF9snu0 )and created reviews and mod for them on my channel.

Costco JETSON BOLT PRO vs. Dahon Speed D7 Folding bike vs Vilano Atom Electric Folding bike – COMPARED! – My bicycle accessories list.

After owning the Costco Jetson Bolt Pro for over a week. I am going to compare and review it against my two favorite folding bicycles: Dahon Speed D7 ( https://amzn.to/2D0739x ) and the Vilano Atom electric bicycle ( https://amzn.to/3gfAe72 ) See my overview video below.

I collect many folding and non folding bicycles. The three folding bicycles offer the convenience of easy transport and compact storage options. 

The Jetson Bolt Pro ( https://amzn.to/2X8dLBf  )is great for camping and urban cruising. You just sit and use the electric motor to speed to 15 mph, pedaling is optional. Its compact and fun. Its not slow but its also not crazy fast. It is more stable comfortable to handle cracks and pavement.  I believe its safer than a scooter.  It weight 41 pounds which makes transporting it a bit of a pain since it doesn’t fold down small. Also, it may be too small for larger adults, you may need a longer seat stem – a visit to a local bike store will fix that.  This is the perfect urban fun recreational bike. 

The Dahon Speed D7 very lightweight at 25 to 30 pounds. I have traveled with this bike to other countries due to the low weight and very compact nature of this bike. Its geared to pedal as fast as 18-22 mph. I comes equipped with fenders, racks, and can accommodate larger adults. This is the perfect RV and travel bike. 

The Vilano Atom Electric folding bike is extremely versatile with a small fold foot print, strong 250W hub motor and removable battery. I use this for my grocery and longer distant touring.  I have put a full size rear rack to fit planniers and baskets.  This is my daily bike for most urban runs and commuting.  This bike has also been modified from its original 18 MPH electric max speed to 25+ MPH in addition to lower gearing for higher top speed.  This is the perfect commuter bicycle.

For all my bicycles, I will equip them with the following:

RAVPower Solar Charger 28W Solar Panel with 3 USB Port Travel Charger – REVIEW and UNBOXING

I bought the RAVPower Solar Charger 28W Solar Panel with 3 USB Port Travel Charger ( https://amzn.to/3hyKIhZ) on Amazon for $49. I was planning to take this solar panel on my camping trip this week. In this video I will unbox and review this portable solar travel charger.
It comes with the 28W solar panel, 2 USB micro cables, and 4 metal hooks.

Why: I needed a portable compact solar travel charger for my road trips and place on my under my windshield when I was parked with the window open. The specifications and function is quite good on this charger 28 Watts with 3 USB ports outputting 2.1A per port. The built in charge controller works well.

The solar panels are very efficient and stores very compact compared to my previous DOKIO 80 Watt folding solar panel kit ( https://amzn.to/2OXphuA ). I typically use my 80 watt during multiple day camping trips to charge my USB devices and my 12 volt car battery by leaving it on top of the car windshield. I also use several solar security lights ( https://amzn.to/3hAE0b3 ) for my house to quickly add security lighting to places with limited power. They have worked well for the past 2 years.

REVIEW: I tested the panel on my porch to charge my power banks. In 4 hours, it topped off half-full my Miady 26800mAh PD Portable Charger Power Bank ( https://amzn.to/2WXHWuL ). The temperature was about 70 degrees worked well with all 3 USB ports at 2.1A. I decided to place the unit on my car dash board to check size and fit. 5 minutes placing it on my dash, 3 USB port charge controller fell off! Apparently the glue or adhesive backing did not stick well to the nylon material.

CONCLUSION: While it still charges, the glue is not durable in heat. The temperature was less than 75 degrees in the car. I will still bring it with me on my trip however i feel who ever designed it did not pick the correct adhesive. I read more reviews on Amazon ( https://amzn.to/3hyKIhZ ) and others experienced similar glue issues. If i had mounted this on my backpack, the charge port would have torn off during the hike. The charging is fine, the build and design missed the mark. I have sent an email to RavPower for a resolution, if not its going to be returned.
