Dream Machine  (a.k.a.  - THE PUNISHER!)
5 out of 5 stars
Dream Machine (a.k.a. - THE PUNISHER!)
I call my beautiful stealth-black Elby "The Punisher!" Of course, it doesn't punish me - no, no, no! It punishes all the punks who try to keep up with this 74 year old (with heart failure, afib, and an ejection fraction of 10% - not kidding). They all fall by the wayside in exhausted heaps with puzzled looks on their faces. I am having a blast on this thing! (See the 7 pics in "Customer Images") I chose black because the other color combos seem to say "There's something geeky going on here!" - which is just fine for most (great colors!) - but I didn't want that. I wanted to keep them guessing. Have a little fun. And, it worked! Most people have no idea what's really going on with this bike. Of course I further disguised (see pics) by covering the Elby logos with decals of flags, The Punisher, Molon Laabe, golden dragons, initials, favorite travel location stickers, etc, etc. Plus, I blacked out the metal plate on the battery cover using electrical tape to complete the overall monochrome look. MUST HAVE ACCESSORIES: 1) Elby Rear Rack from the Electric Cyclery. (Expensive - $75 + 15 ship - but worth every penny. German made, highest quality, easy attachment.) 2) Giddy-up (Amazon) seat to replace the uncomfortable (for me) stock Elby seat. 3) Rear view (90° - you do NOT want a wide angle camera) mini spy camera (Amazon) with 7" lcd monitor up front by handlebars. ( A must-have for me because turning my head to check for traffic all the time is too difficult for me - and useful rearview mirrors just don't exist for the bikes I've had.). (Simple RCA wiring skills are all that is needed.). 4) A basket on the Rear Rack for carrying stuff (Including a case with the rearview camera and 2 mini 4800mah 12volt/usb power supplies - one is a spare - ($23 @ - ebay) - to power the camera and 7" monitor. Simple wiring. I also added a Krytonite lock (mounted on rack, below basket) and a cheap front facing auto traffic camera to record my rides. (Plugs into usb port on the Elby headlight. Only works when the headlight is ON, but, I always ride with the headlight on anyway - for safety.). Really fun to play back some of the rides on the big screen when back at home. And, for night riding in the country I added two NightRyder lights. (The Elby lighting is perfect on city streets but not up to the task out in the boonies.) Also added 2 extra rechargeable Blitzu tail lights which are terrific (one on each side of the basket) which forms an eye-catching triangle with the Elby tail light. I was 6'4" (shrunk up to about 6'2" now) and I weigh about 245 (ready to go) and I fit perfectly on this bike after making the basic initial adjustments to seat and handlebar height (and angle) so I don't understand reviewers saying they are too big to get comfortable. Don't know what that's about. But, I do agree that this Elby has no suspension and is not designed for dirt/gravel roads or curb jumping. Don't buy this bike if you won't be using normal paved roads and trails. (Note: The website for the wonderful tires on the Elby says recommended inflation is 51.5 to 62 p.s.i. Guess what: Running on the low side significantly cushions the ride. Running 35 to 40 p.s.i. really really softens the ride. Yeah, I know.... increased rolling friction & tire wear etc, etc. But I also know (from decades of riding) 40 p.s.i. on a semi-fat tire like the Elby's will function perfectly well - and maybe even give you a little more grip. Try it once. Savor the smoothness of the ride compared to the rock-hard 62 p.s.i. You might be willing to give up a couple kilometers of battery range for the leap in ride comfort.) I'm fortunate I live in a small (8,000 pop) town with great streets and miles of beautiful paved trails connecting with other small towns. If I'm in the mood I'll make a midnight run (cornfields and/or highways on either side) to the next town 10 miles east. And, I might just keep going another 6 or 7 miles to the Michigan lakefront. I love it! I must say I don't get the range that a lot of reviewers say they get (even at 62 p.s.i. That's probably because I outweigh them by a bunch, plus there are numerous hills, and (given my reduced physical stamina) i run 90% of the time in gear 8 or 9 (smallest cog - fastest speed) with the boost set to level 4 (i.e. MAX assist). Even so, I get a solid 12 -15 mile full force run and can easily stretch the trip to 20 miles. And that's actually a substantial bike ride for most people. (And then too - I really lucked out. I found a brand new Elby battery on ebay for $450! So, I wrap the extra battery in a bath towel and bungy cord it in my basket. Now I can run all day with no fear of ever getting stranded. Takes about 15 seconds to swap batteries. Note: A normal healthy person will never need a second/spare battery. I've only used mine twice.) I've only gone 300+ miles so far, but they have been flawless, fantastic miles. Okay, the front wheel did loosen up a little early on. All I had to do was loosen the quick-release lever, give it half a clockwise turn and relock the lever. Presto! Wheel bearings snug again. Very simple. No problems at all with the rear wheel tightness/bearings, motor, chain etc. The smoothness of the power assist on this Elby is flat out amazing. This bike has been fine-tuned to the n'th degree. (All hail Elby/BionX!!) I just never get tired of running up and down all the badnews hills in our town where other bikes fear to tread. (Love the shocked stares from pedestrians. All part of the fun.) Plus, I can silently glide, effortlessly, for miles and miles through all the nooks and crannies of our town and countryside without creating any hint of a disturbance (as you would on a mtorcycle or convertible or whatever). All of a sudden Taco Bell pops in your head. But - its 2 miles in the wrong direction! NOT a problem - You are there in 6 minutes. No sweat Normally I don't use the throttle. But, should I reach my limit for the day I'll say.... "Elby, take me home!". I'll throttle up then (but never when anyone's looking). Note: 1) You don't want a wide-angle rear-view camera because it makes cars appear further away than they really are. Dangerous! (Stick with a 90° max camera.) 2) The mount/clamp I used for the 7" monitor is actually the mount that came with the Kryptoniite lock ($17 at Walmart). didn't need it for the lock so I clamped it to the handlebar post, inserted a long 1/4" bolt up through the clamp, with 5 /16 nuts as spacers, attached standard swivel mount to monitor and bolt. You want the monitor pointing directly toward your face. Used Velcro build-up on top edge of monitor and handlebar to cushion monitor. 3) If you want to go crazy and get the brightest outdoor rated monitor (Feelworld 7", $250. Do it. (Should help avoid most image washout conditions in bright light.) But, you will also need a little RCA to HDMI converter (usb powered) and a little black project box to hide it all in. I have all that stuff, but haven't hooked it up as yet on the bike because 90% of the time performance on the cheap monitor is just fine. Plus, it is real easy to add a second camera to this cheap monitor and switch views/cameras with a touch of a button on the monitor. We will see. 4) Ref the rearview camera case - Velcro the batteries to sides of case. Don't over-Velcro, just enough to hold in place and still be able to remove if needed. Also use Velcro straps to secure case to basket using slots on side of case. 5) Basket is attached to rack with 1mm black annodized wire. (Easy to work with.) 6) Read "Comments", below, for more info. Here are some Amazon numbers for accessories I used (type into Search box): B07568FY43, B01N7KQPJI, B01M64AQVQ, B01NAGIHJB.

    This is a decent bike, if it was a $1500 bike. When I ride it, it creaks, like a cheap bike. The battery doesn't last as long as advertised (only avg of 17 miles) nor charge as fast (takes at least 8 hours). Their bike service does not service my area, so they aren't able to assist me in a major metro area where I live. This is something I was told I could use. When I contacted customer service, I had to contact them 3x before I heard anything back. The issues are still not addressed or solved.

    Update: got the basket/rack on the Elby site and delivery was good even thought it had to travel far (Canada). Over 1,000 miles now and still going great. Still want another one so I can ride with someone, just have to saving up for it. Got a tune up at local bike shop and they said she is looking good!

    Just hit 800 miles and couldn’t be happier. Has changed my weekends and thinking about getting another. I had to buy a cross bar to be able to put on my bike rack. Remember it’s heavier than most bikes so you will need a good bike rack to hold the weight. Customer service was responsive in July 2020. There are two shift buttons. I didn’t realize that because one is hidden. USB used once but didn’t seem to charge the phone, but it didn’t die so I guess it may have been giving it a small charge. Furthest I have gone is 47 miles on one charge. Rides well and has a really comfortable seat. I have not seen any good reason to get another seat. I am 5”2 so I had to adjust the seat and handle bars. The bars are just a little further away than I would like, but it’s not a deal breaker. My 13 year old loves it and also rides it around the neighborhood. I’m worried that if something goes wrong I will have trouble finding a shop to fix the electronics but hopefully it lasts a long time. I have had it over two months and just have had to tighten the kick stand. Other than that it’s amazing. Haven’t been able to find the app. But I really don’t need it. Came almost fully assembled. Delivery was GREAT! Loved that it came in less than 2 days! The rack sold on the elby site is not available. That is no good since I don’t know what other rack would fit. The company said it won’t be available for 6-8 months. So accessories might be hard to find since this is a thicker bike with special parts. The bike gives you freedoms that cannot be achieved any other way. Enjoy it and stay safe!!

    Loved the bike, smooth out of the box. Regardless of no bluetooth app. However, after just a few months of light commuting to work. It completely stopped working. Does not move. I've tried calling, emailing, customer service and they did respond once over email and phone, but to be straight up ... it seems like they're just ignoring me now. Can't get a hold of them. I call every other day. Just left a message today. Smh. Too expensive of a bike for them to leave you hanging like this. Also purchased a $160.00 charger cable cus the one it came with ripped after wrapping it n storing it. Caught a short n popped. So I bought a new charger. Very expensive and felt it was overpriced. My honest advice would be to try a more reliable company. These ppl will do you dirty.

    I love the bike but the red tail lights have never worked and I can’t get anyone to help with getting it repaired. I wouldn’t recommend buying on Amazon because they don’t help if you have a problem.
