from 482 reviewsI got a Romeo Pro and during the winter I was testing it.
I only lowered the tire pressure a little, the test was that my girlfriend pulled me while I was snowboarding on the street (always safe) but I also tried it on the cold ground, on snow, on ice and everything was perfect!
From 0 degrees Celsius to -20
So... this bike is a really really a beast
So let me start by saying I love the bike. But my review is going to reflect that it's not for everyone. So if I sound critical, I'm not. It's just that the Juliet is basically a huge honking battery with a bike built around it. If you need/want the huge honking battery, this is great. This bike will REALLY get 80-100 miles on a single charge. That is a real number and not a make believe number like it is on some bikes. But there are some tradeoffs made to work the big honking battery in. The most obvious trade off is in size and weight. This bike is large and heavy. The battery is large heavy. The frame to hold the battery is large and heavy. The double post fork that holds that weight limits the turning radius of the handle bars making turning this bike around or maneuvering it while walking more difficult. Without power, this bike is a bear to move... don't plan on riding this without motor assist -- the pedals are pretty much "wink wink, this is a *bike*, and not a class M2 moped", and while they do "work", don't get this bike expecting to use them much. That said, the bike handles fine when riding with throttle, and the throttle is VERY configurable in the system settings (which are comprehensive, if cryptic). I was able to set mine up so that PAS 1 was slow high pedestrian traffic, PAS is 15mph which is the trail speed limit where I live, PAS 3 is 20mph to match my son's class 2 ebike, PAS 4 is 25mph for most side streets, and PAS 5 is max power. I mentioned class M2 moped, you should be aware that this bike will go up to about 32mph, which is more than the 28mph limit of class 3 (albiet not much), and it does so with throttle only (which is not allowed for class 3), so while this looks like a bike and you aren't very likely to get pulled over on it like you would be on a Sur Ron or Talaria, the bike is not technically road legal in most US areas.
The bike comes stock with a lot of quality of life features -- including a bright headlight that has low and high beam, and has daytime running light, the tail light is a working break light that comes on when you pull the break handle, and the bike even has rear facing turn signals. As I mentioned the display/UI is highly configurable if not intuitive. It could be brighter -- it's a little hard to see in daylight. The included rear rack is awesome and HUGE. I was able to mount my large rear basket LONG ways, which is awesome as now the basket doesn't stick out wide on me.
The breaks and suspension are good enough. I had to remove a washer on the bolt holding the rear brack onto the frame that was scraping the rear rotor, and have a velofix guy come and do new bike wonkiness adjustments, so while it all works now, it wasn't a perfectly smooth assembly process. That said, the ride is smooth and the stopping is good. This actually has a rear suspension which many bikes in the same price range do not.
I personally wish the bike came with higher handle bars as I am a tall guy, but it's not unridable as it is. I also wish the bike had a step over variant, as the mid step over bar would give a place to anchor a U lock and strap on pouches that really don't work with the down tube that is honking huge to fit the honking huge battery. It would also be nice if the bike had mounting support for a rear wheel frame lock given the door dash use case (not how I use it, but this bike is popular for that use case, and given how hard it is to fit a U lock or chain around this, a frame lock would be awesome).
I would caveat -- The area I ride is flat -- I've seen review videos and if you live in a really hilly area, this bike may struggle with steep climbs. It will handle a small climb no problem, but if you do a lot of really hilly riding, you might want a lighter bike, and perhaps something with a more torquey motor. This motor is way more powerful than say a typical class 2 bike such as a Rad Rover or Rad City, and it is certainly geared better, but lets just say that it DOES get up to 30mph, but it takes its time getting there. It's quite good for what this bike is, but its not a torquey mid drive climbing/accelleration monster.
All and all tho, despite my quibbles, this has so far been a great bike. It's a perfect road around town bike with plenty of range and enough speed for surface street riding, as well as the lights and signals. More or less, if you want the insane range, and are willing to live with the heavy bike that goes with that range, I highly recommend this. Frankly the bike around the battery is way better than it needed to be for the price point it occupies. Especially when you consider that the battery is about half the cost by itself.
(PS: the Blue color is awesome. It looks grey in the marketing shots, but in person, it is very clearly a metallic blue that looks great. I am glad I took the chance on that).
My friend refuses to test drive my bike because he said he wouldn't be able to NOT buy one for himself! Everyone absolutely loves the design and they are always complementing the looks and range and speed and price!
Hey the bike arrived switch no shipping damage
I had no problems putting it together I have over 300 miles on it now with zero issues its a wonderful bike thanks Eahora
Me emocion, cuando recib mi Juliet E-bike , cumpli mis espectativas ; puedo decir muchas cosas positivas de esta bicicleta como su enorme batera ya que trabajo haciendo Delivery y me dura para todo el da, es decir de (8 a 10 ) horas diarias. As como su exelente suspensin delantera y trasera su robusta cuadro, tambin su brillante foco delantero y faro trasero con su luces direccionales integradas, si tengo que decir algo negativo sera que recomiendo cambiar la goma trasera por una ms gruesa ya que mi peso de casi (200) libras tiende a pincharse con frecuencia, con la goma que trae originalmente , tambin recomiendo no usarla cuando hay muchas lluvia , ya que tuve una experiencia de que le entr agua al motor , pero debo decir que fue al final de ms (8) horas de trabajo . Pero en general la recomiendo al (100 % ) . Bronx , New York.
I am 5'9", 160 lbs and the bike fits perfectly. Had a 5'6"/110lbs person ride and she was comfortable. The bike is a BEAST. In looks, response, ride and handling! Turns heads. Assembly simple. Being a motorcyclist, this ebike style fit me beautifully. No more gas scooters. So far, I have gotten to 35mph at 5 PAS. Don't need more- I have a motorcycle for beyond! Had wheel delivery delay & small damage (FedEx issue) and accessing settings confusion. But Customer Service was responsive, clear and all resolved. Note they are 12hrs ahead so allow for that. Distribution is in LA. The battery is long lasting and appears to match the stated ranges....still adding miles to test range. Bike is heavy BUT I feel safe/comfortable on it. Now......I am accessorizing the heck out of it!
I bought one on December 16, very-very happy with my purchase, it’s perfect for weekend rides or drive to work, I simply love it, I chose M1 Pro because the battery compartment has room for second battery and I don’t need to modify my bike it’s already perfect, can’t wait to buy the second battery pack, Highly recommended great value
This ebike is best and long distance. I am close jfk to downtown Brooklyn. It is 15 miles one way. Round trip 15 miles.
I received my Eahora Juliet about a month ago and it has literally changed my living, I Door Dash for a living. I had someone break into my car to steal it and destroyed the ignition and housing where I couldn't even begin to start it with my keys. Salvaged it, and got the Juliet. Every day I go to work and it seriously feels like I'm a 13 year old riding around & learning about life. I'm 63. It's so much fun, but I need it to last at least 3 years to get my value. So far it has been GREAT,!
This marks my first e-bike experience and my return to cycling after two decades. Assembling the Romeo Pro was surprisingly easy, especially for someone who hasn't handled a bicycle in years. I've taken it on a few rides to Red Rock Canyon in Las Vegas, covering a 22-mile round trip from my house. The experience has been fantasticsmooth, comfortable, and efficient. Despite minimal pedal assist and mostly using the throttle, each trip utilized only about 20 percent of the battery. I am 5'11" and 225 pounds and the Romeo Pro keep its power and handling. Excited to explore more national parks in the coming weeksfollow @nursefoodietoro for updates. I highly recommend purchasing the Romeo Pro.
First offthis bike is pretty awesome. It has speed and huge range. I have yet to test the range to the full distance, but I completed a 59.7 mile ride today. (The longest amount of time that I have ever spent on a bicycle.) it was a cold ride. (35-42 degrees Fahrenheit) I averaged 16.5 mph for the entire ride and the battery only went down two bars out of 5 total. Pretty impressive with the battery being cold. After shutting the bike off when I got back and turning it back on in about 10 minutes, the battery was back up to 4 bars. I doubt that means much, but
I mainly stayed on a local multiuser rail trail. Overall, it was pretty flat, but there are a couple very steep grade trail overpasses that go up over several lanes of traffic. I kept the bike in PAS2 and did some mild peddling and it just glided up at around 11 mph.
For a good portion of the ride I would go between PAS 3 (max at about 20 mph) and PAS 5 (max at around 31 mph). I would back down the PAS and peddle more when I would get near people. The more southern portions of the trail had a speed limit of 20mph or 15 mph. So I would switch to PAS 3 or PAS 2 respectively.
I did get on a gravel road to give the bike a try. It was nice and stable. I did find a deep rut on the gravel road to test the front suspension. It was unpleasant. Unfortunately, the bike could really use a nice front suspension fork. But a nice one would likely increase the cost by about another $500 or more.
The bike is heavy, but it is easily peddled at a slow pace without using the motor. Not sure about up a steep hill, though.
Things I like:
- Huge range
- High enough speed for city streets
- Strong enough to carry a load. (I could see taking this bike on a few day tour if the weather was right.)
- Not too difficult to peddle without the motor.
- Controls are set up for intuitive use and easy access.
Things I dont like:
- Front fork (but understandable)
- The pedals need a bit more grip. At higher speeds, my feet would slip off the pedal.
- The rear cassette could stand to have a taller 7th gear to be more able to have peddle input mean something in PAS 3, 4 and 5. I found myself trying to peddle in those higher speeds and found that my input was negligible if none at all. Wellunless I peddled like a madman.
Assembly:
When I received the bike, I was able to put it together by myself. The only problem I had when I put it together was not understanding what the black metal circular pieces were for. They are collars that go below the handle bar mount so that you can tighten down the steering stem to prevent any play in the stem.
Customer service: After a first test ride, I had an issue with the front brake rubbing the pad on one side. I watched a few videos on YouTube that explained how to adjust the caliper. I couldnt manage to get it right with the pad dragging on the disc. I contacted Eahoras customer support and they were able to get ahold of their technician and put a video up on YouTube for me on what to do within a few hours. It is now working great.
This is my second e-bike. It is night and day what developments have occurred over the past 15 years. This bike is light years ahead and the range was my key reason for purchasing. The speed and ease of use are just bonuses. This bike is definitely a sweet spot between a bike and a scooter.
The preform as I expected not as advertised. what I mean is with my weight and the side box I didn't think it would to the speed they advertised and it didn't. The distance the the M1p Pro is not what I expected. I expected it around 25mph but it less than 20mph at top speed. agian because of weight and side box ( see photo)
What I realy don't light is that after 15 to 30 second it stop running if you are stop. To get it to go agian you must put the kickstand down and back up and the you can take off.
Love this bike! Thanks to the support team. Even though I missed out on the Halloween discount, these guys are still less than her children when I asked them about it. Delivery was very fast. Assembling the bike is very simple. The bike is all set up and ready to ride. I thought that I would need to tighten some bolts, but it turned out that everything was already tightened to the maximum. I figured out the comfortable seating position on this bike, put the seat in different positions, it turned out that the most comfortable place to lower the seat is the lowest, it reminds me of riding my BMX. The steering wheel needs to be raised up. The bike is very comfortable. Tested for speed and travel range. Speed stays 31 mph with my weight 220 lbs. I havent measured the distance of the trip, I just dont have the patience to ride a bike that long :))) the maximum I rode was 40 miles, and at the same time I used up one bar on the battery. Next I plan to make some upgrades - install a front fork for 26" wheels, but put a 20" wheel - this will raise the front of the bike and make it even more comfortable to sit on. I also plan to install an even larger seat so that it changes my position relative to the pedals and makes me sit not above the pedals, but so that the pedals are slightly in front of me, as is the case on cruiser bikes. I also plan to install tires with road tread. Because I dont need to ride off-road and I want to reduce the noise when riding a bicycle, it will also reduce the resistance to torsion of the wheel, perhaps it will be a little longer in range. All these upgrades are my personal riding experience, I always do this with any bikes, its important for me to customize the equipment for myself. Out of the box this bike is great.
I purchased the Eahora Etwister M2 in early September. It's a really fun bike to tool around with. Fairly easy to assemble and easy to ride. I was also able to successfully get it registered as a street legal motorcycle in my city recently. It has more power than I really need for in town riding.
The bike is great and all but what I really want to do here is give a shout out to the support I was given through email. They were very helpful in sending out documents my local treasurers office was requesting to get the title and get it registered. They also answered every question I had thoroughly and in a friendly manner. Even sending a video on how to attach saddle bags. The support is really superb.
This is a great bike with excellent after purchase support. I would buy one again.
I apologize for the pic I'm going to post for review. I will ITs not the best but I keep forgetting to take a new one when its outside garage. I will also provide a youtube link for one of my early rides. I think it demonstrates the quick acceleration you can get on it when you want to.
Thanks again for the superb support.
I've never had a motorcycle or an electric bike and bought the 3000 watt M1P Plus.
So, take that into consideration when I say when you twist the throttle, you better be ready because that scooter is gone.
It's fun and I learned to lean (more than I thought) hard to turn.
Otherwise, wear a helmet and enjoy a quiet ride through your neighborhood.
