I picked up an Onforu Portable Speaker based upon TopRideElectric reviews alone, having never seen this product or heard one play first-hand, so I was a little apprehensive about whether I was getting a good product or whether it was a decent value for the price(FREE). To good to be true I thought.
Well Im glad that I rolled those dice!
This speaker is ridiculously easy to operate. It pairs easily and only has a couple of buttons to push, each of which is fairly self-explanatory (e.g., on/off, up volume, down volume). When you turn it on, it goes into discovery mode automatically or will attempt to pair with the last device that it connected to. Easy peasy.
The mounting hardware also feels solid and well-made. I was careful not to over-tighten and it feels secure anyway. I'm reasonably confident that this speaker won't escape its mounting bracket. I do have concerns about the "prongs" which hold the speaker in place eventually getting broken, so I intend to be really careful with it, but that's really my only concern about this unit.
The battery life on this speaker impressed me! I've only used it once so far, but after an overnight charge, it easily handled five hours of playback on the road, and still has a decent charge now.
The sound quality exceeded every expectation. Obviously there's no stereo capability on one speaker, but the sound is robust, with decent sound quality capturing a good tonal range, from thumping bass to high-pitched brass section and wailing guitars. I was really impressed by the VOLUME that this speaker puts out, although I often bike in wilderness areas or on beachfront paths where there are a lot of other cyclists and pedestrians, so out of consideration for others I doubt I'll ever blast this thing out at maximum volume when I'm on the road.
I have a plastic baggie in my bike bag in case of rain, as I'm not too sure about the 'waterproof' claims made about this device yet.
THANKS TOP RIDE ELECTRIC!!👍
First, I'd like to cover my riding conditions. I have a Trek Verve 2 that I use to commute to work and since I live in Florida I am concerned about using certain roads so I ride on the sidewalk. Some of the sidewalks are maintained very well which can result in a bumpy ride along with points of my trips that cause me to cross railroad tracks and construction.
With that being covered, Wow! This is amazing and this feels like $40 to $50 product.
--The Speaker Mount--
The clip is strong and I never feel nervous about it coming out. As far as the clamp, I'm able to put it on the thickest part of my bar. Before I bought the Trek, I had it on a thinner mountain bike handle bars with the rubber spacers they provide. On both bikes, I've never had an issue with it rotating on the bars. The clips for the speaker are super secure and make a good clicking sound. I've haven't hit a bump that has caused me to worry about it coming out or the feeling that I should push it back into the clips. Removing it can be a little tight (which is good in my opinion), I tend to pull up from the top using the D-clip to pull it off from top to bottom.
--Speaker--
Holy crap! I wasn't expecting the sound quality. I was kind of expecting a thinner sound but it's actually pretty full! I also use it at work while I'm crimping cables, soldering, or just doing computer work and I love it! Sometimes I clip it to my jeans as I'm walking around. I haven't used the JBL Clip speaker but I was definitely looking at it for my bike. I have a feeling that this speaker is actually a great dupe minus the IPX7 rating (what situation would you be in that this thing will fall into water for 30 minutes). I do like that the D-clip can be removed versus the integrated clip. I haven't run into rain yet but I'm sure it will be fine as long as it isn't a monsoon for 30 minutes.
--Battery--
Don't have much of a weigh-in on this. I use it at work for a few hours of playtime and ride time on average is probably an hour. I also tend to charge it at work sometimes and I charge it at home whenever I think about it. I think you could get up to 7 hours of playtime at full volume. It also has an auto off feature after 30 to 45 minutes which is a very nice feature. I haven't timed it and I'm not sure if it's because nothing is connect or if it's because nothing is playing. But... It's there and it's a thing. It's an awesome feature to have if you're running into a store or accidentally leave it on after storing your bike.
All in all, I'd HIGHLY recommend this speaker. For a stroller, scooter, moped, bike, basically anything with a handlebar or mounting point, it's perfect!
Ordered this product to keep me entertained on my long bike rides. It was FREE!! so you can’t beat that The reviews stated that the sound was great, including very depp and rich bass tones. I was skeptical, but anyway - the price could not be beat like who can beat the word FREE Lol 😂. Upon receiving it, I tested it out and agree that for the small size, the sound is amazing and well worth every penny for the shipping if you are in the market for a small speaker to use on your bike. The speaker mount is solid, easy to mount on your handlebars, and keeps a tight grip on the speaker. Even over bumpy, off road use. I primarily use it on my mountain bike. The speaker does come out of the mount and is highly portable. The buttons are easy to use and give you full access to volume and track changes. It is easy to adjust your music while riding, the buttons have a nice tactile feel that makes them easy to press while riding. Battery life is great too, lasts all week before requiring a recharge. Pairing is simple, and once paired my device links up everytime right away. Over all highly recommended for anyone looking for a speaker that is small in size, but big in sound quality.
First off Thanks TopRideElectric
I got this speaker to use when cycling. When it arrived I was amazed at the sound quality for a speaker OF THIS SIZE. I have several small bluetooth speakers of similar size and this unit has better sound quality by far. If you hold the speaker in your hand you can feel the thump of the bass. Great volume too. I have to keep it turned down when cycling so as to annoy other cyclists on the trail. The feature that has surprised me, though, is how well it works as a speaker phone. I work from home periodically and I am on the phone quite a bit. Other bluetooth speakers I've owned have horrible as a speaker phone, including one that marketed specifically as a speaker phone. For the price I paid, I can't recommend this product strongly enough. I haven't had any quality issues either. Seems like a robust design to me.
Boom! and Just like that it was over. There I was riding my newly bought electric bike from TopRideElectric. Riding 15mph trying to hit the 20mph mark in my home town Granite Falls,North Carolina in the cycles-lane. Zooming pass every car on the road and every person walking by well A few yell “nice ride” as I pass them by. It was a beautiful day it rain slightly but not enough to let a day off go to waste. So as I was saying I just was about to hit the 20mph mark and then Boom! a car pullout right in front of me from no where and I rammed right into her. By the grace of God I was OK but I can’t say the same about my bike. It was destroyed and to be honest I was crushed all that money I spent was gone. Just in a snap and while I was mourning the loss of my investment i remembered I got an extended 2 year warranty that covers accidental damages with just a few pictures I contact TopRideElectric and file a claim and within a week they had me covered and back on it road again.
P.S. Here’s a picture of my damage bike.
NASA would do well to consider Emojo for the construction of the next USA Mars vehicles. The Caddy framework is very well designed, smooth craftsmanship and being white, already looks "space age". The Emojo "Caddy" is a very popular trike. You'll have fun being part of the construction crew. Then your first ride will blow you away - the torque of the motor is amazing ! Be safe, you will have fun. Thank You Top Ride Electric
This is my first electric bike and its a really good experience it runs very smoothly. Very easy to assemble and ready to ride out of box, very well made, if you put the spring seat in it, that will you more comfort. Thank You Top Ride Electric.
Pros (I am 5'11" 175lbs.):
1. The build quality is excellent. Folding mechanism is well-designed.
2. Assembly is easy - 15 minutes max.
3. Range is fantastic. If you put in some peddle effort, you can easily achieve 40-50+ miles depending on elevation gain.
4. Battery charge time is fast, 4-5 hours.
5. Both the seat and handlebars offer wide adjustments for varying body statures.
6. Great form factor and light weight for smaller people/spaces.
Room for improvement:
1. Larger cranks and/or larger rear gear set. PAS 3 goes so fast you can't peddle fast enough to keep up.
2. An additional PAS between PAS2 and PAS 3. Too much speed differential between them. PAS2 is 10-11mph, then PAS 3 goes full throttle.
3. Front disc brakes.
4. More comfortable seat with shock absorbing post.
I bought a black one for myself and a white one for my wife. We absolutely love them and are looking forward to the evolution/revolution ebikes are bringing to the world. Thank you TopRideElectric and keep innovating!
John & Linda
Easy to set up ( basically just unfold it). Easy to handle and ride. Perfect for me and I am a 62 year old woman!!!!
Thanks TopRideElectric I’m having a great time.
Ordering was very easy and delivery was super quick. Solid ride, great frame, easy to assemble with well documented instructions, space on the bars is tough when you mount the bell and light…..no room left for other accessories…such as phone. Great performance and very responsive throttle.
This bike is awesome I was a little skeptical at first but after my first ride I wished I would of bought it sooner, it’s great I highly recommend to anyone looking for an e bike I recommend the mud flaps to its a great combo! Very customizable also which is great! I also recommend a handle bar extender
Love the bike wish seat was softer, battery would last longer, maybe I will get another battery backup. Today I destroyed a mud hill in power 2 it was so fun. Need to order fenders cause you will get dirty. Having so much fun on it. Well constructed and easy assembly.
I wanna start off by saying this bike is very masculine looking and huge, it’s almost as big as a Harley! I’m 6.2 and still struggle to throw my leg across the bike with my feet barely able to touch the ground. Also this thing has plenty of power, I weigh 250 pounds and it has no problem powering me up the road! You’re definitely gonna wanna wear a helmet while riding this thing. As far as battery life goes I’ve only ridden it around the neighborhood so far and haven’t taken it any distance so I’m not sure about how many miles you can ride before the battery dies. I’ll give it a 9 out of 10 awesome bike!!
She is a beast but a super fabulous beast. Sorry, it is tallish and someone shorter than 5’8” might have a tough time managing it. 750 watts is the key. Can’t keep a person in the.house when it’s this easy to enjoy the outdoors.
I Jerry Gatlin, like this Ecotric Hammer, Fat Tire, E bike, one thing I hope the Designer's, builder's will do is make them go fast enough, to keep up with Los Angeles City Traffic
Very smooth riding bike. Accelerates very nicely and everything works great as it should except for 2 minor critiques: 1. the front axle is impossible to tighten enough for it to stay in place(bought a nice lever replacement one on Amazon for $11 that works great!) 2. the breaks are incredibly loud when breaking. Otherwise they are great bikes!!!
This bike is perfect if you're on a budget and you're looking for a way around the local area without expensive uber. Though the inner tube is pretty cheap it's an easy fix on your end. I wish the bike came with its own repair kit but it's not like it's that much for one anyway. Its very fun riding this bike, just don't crash like I did. Haha.
I was skeptical if the bike was going to be worth the low price. Received the bike. Watched YouTube video for putting together the bike. Tested it out and I’m very happy. Works perfect and has good power. I try to ride it everyday. Would highly recommend. You will not find a better bike.
I purchased two Nakto bikes over a year ago and have had no problems with either. Both meet top speeds of 20 miles and both batteries have lasted 22 miles as specified. Great value for under a $1,000.00 each I would purchase Natko bikes in the future.
My husband bought this model last year, it's been great, I just bought the exact same one. I recommend this brand. No complaints, good quality
One week ago, I purchased the white fat - tire mini cruiser and have had so much fun that I bought a second one as a gift for someone. The headlamp is very bright so traffic can see you. I first used my bike on the street in route to the mountains. It was fantastic in/on the peaks and valleys and I had such a blast that I didn't head home until after dark. You'd think that with electric assist you'd exercise less but, this isn't true. You'll find yourself traveling farther for longer periods of time because with the assist you CAN get through the tough spots that you otherwise wouldn't be able to which often causes us to quit. Speedy shipping and so easy to put together. It came with the tools you need for assembly. No problems at all and a great bike at the right price. I'm thinking about buying 2 more for holiday gifts on black Friday.
I wasn't expecting much from a cheaper ebike but you really get a lot for the money here. I only had 1 issue when the bike arrived and that was the center bolt for the pedals was bent. However, I contacted the manufacturer and they sent me another one straight away, no problems at all. It took a bit of trial and error to get the bike programmed correctly to read mp/h instead of km/h but nothing to hard. However there are no instructions to do this you just have to mess with it a bit and the menus are not intuitive, just numbers really. I bought this bike for a singular purpose and that was to take it to Burning Man. Which I did. I must say, it performed wonderfully out there. If you are not aware, Burning Man takes place in a dry lake bed filled with alkali dust. It is a nightmare for all things electronic. I fully expected a cheap eBike to fail out there but much to my surprise it kept on going all week long. I rode approx 10-15 miles per day for 7 days. the battery charged fine, no loss of power, the motor worked perfectly. I really can't find too much fault in such an inexpensive product that was able to take that level of abuse. Would buy again and recommend for sure.UPDATE: Went to Burning Man again. Same deal. Performed excellent. I was not kind to this bike. Still going strong even after I accidently broke the LCD screen and lost one of the keys.
This bike is awesome! It really turns heads and everybody asks about it too. The motor in my opinion gives it plenty of power, and for the price, you can't beat what you're getting.I have purchased from Nakto before, and their service has been excellent. It is difficult sometimes to find good service after purchasing a bike, and Nakto is an exception with their great service.
