Riding’Times GT53 Electric Cargo Bike: A Review
Uncompromising Cargo Capacity
A cargo bike is only as useful as its carrying capabilities. Luckily, the Riding’times GT53 electric cargo bike does not disappoint. Aptly named the “Best Electric Cargo Bike under $4000,” it comfortably can carry a cargo weight of up to 550 lbs. This bike comes standard with detachable front and rear racks, making it versatile for varying hauling needs. Furthermore, its central basket offers a voluminous two cubic feet of space, enough to carry all your essentials and more. Its sturdy construction, aided by 20-inch automotive-grade fat tires, 3.0mm thick spokes, and enhanced load-bearing aluminum alloy wheels, ensures a strong and stable ride, easily rivaling a traditional cargo van.
Powerful Motor Performance
The GT53 isn’t just about storage; it’s impressively strong too. Its 2000W brushless hub motor is capable of reaching speeds of up to 31 mph in pure electric mode, along with up to 98NM of torque, enough to easily conquer climbs with up to a 35-degree gradient. This kind of power ensures that it can comfortably carry heavy cargo loads without compromising speed or power, making it a practical tool for a multitude of tasks.
Longer, Quality Rides with 1123WH Removable Battery
Regardless of whether you prefer pure electric mode or pedal-assist mode (PAS), one charge of GT53’s robust 1123WH removable battery will get you far. It boasts a staggering 50-mile range in electric mode and up to double that range at 105 miles in pedal-assist mode. Conveniently, the battery charges fully in 5-6 hours using two charging ports, the bike comes with one charger in the package. Furthermore, it’s IP54-rated, adding an excellent level of water resistance that makes it suitable for use in various weather conditions.
Advanced Safety and Convenience Features
The inclusion of modern tech in the GT53 makes it a joy to ride. With a smart screen equipped with Near-Field Communication (NFC) technology, you can unlock your bike with your NFC card quickly, ensuring both security and convenience. Its dual hydraulic brakes, dual 180MM disc brake rotors, and electronic anti-lock braking system (EABS) guarantees safe and precise braking even when transporting heavy cargo. Riding comfort is also clearly a foremost design consideration, as evidenced by the bike’s high-strength aluminum front fork, high-performance fat tires, and high-resilience sponge seat.
Quality Guarantee and After-Sales Service
Quality assurance with the GT53 isn’t just about the product; it extends to the customer service too. The bike arrives 90% pre-assembled with clear assembly videos to guide you through the rest of the process, but should you encounter issues, Riding’times offers comprehensive customer support – phone support, 24/7 email support, repairs at four US centers, and a generous 2-year warranty on the motor, battery, and charger. The company’s commitment to quality products and unrivaled customer service since 2006 continues to earn them high praise from satisfied riders.
