Stunner Lite 3 ST

This is my fifth bike. I've riden e-bikes before but this is the first ebike I have purchased. I find the tires good traction in slush and melting ice, the steering stable, the shifting very smooth, and the power assist cadence levels easy to adapt to. I love the turbo throttle for unexpectedly steep hills. Riding in the city for groceries and errands, I usually keep it at level 3, and then just use my shifter to gear up and down as I would normally when I'm riding. I was warned that that rear hub motor engaging might feel like it was kicking too quickly when starting from a full stop, but I don't find that to be a problem. I do feel like the gear range is a bit low, but that may be because I'm used to riding mountain and gravel bikes and using a greater range of gears.
I'm not crazy about the saddle. I'm going to try and do some micro adjustments with the positioning to see if that makes it a bit more comfortable, but I might have to change it.
The bike has already attracted bikethieves, and I was lucky that a friend saw the guy with the angle grinder trying to cut my lock. Biktrix might consider adding a frame-mounted rear wheel lock -similar to what Urban Arrow cargobikes and classic Dutch omafiets have. It is difficult to fit a strong carbon steel lock that attaches the rear wheel (with the motor) to the frame and then whatever you are locking your bike to, partly because the spokes on the wheels are so close together, and the frame shape is so complicated, it's tough to get a lock through. Having a frame-mounted rear wheel lock as a secondary would be very convenient, and make running errands or eating out less anxiety prone. As it is, I've taken to removing the very heavy battery, every time I lock it outside. This is cumbersome because my hands are not huge. A handle on the battery would be a convenience.
That being said I'm having a lot of fun riding it around the city, and loving how easy it is for me to climb out of the steep river valley. I am very happy I bought this bike.

I am really enjoying my bike. I find the seat uncomfortable but other than that, it is a winner.

Great bikes, awesome price and excellent customer service!

We love our bikes. Get a lot of compliments

You guys are awesome, but the shipper was to deliver on April 28. After many call it is now to come May 6. Their staff have been friendly but 🤞 things come through Tuesday. I’ll do the survey again when I get the bikes.
