what's up this is David from Rockstar
0:01
reviews today I want to review the co-op
0:02
electric bike now I've utilized
0:05
different electric bikes in my life uh
0:07
probably three or four now different
0:10
brands and these different brands have
0:12
had different experiences with some of
0:14
them I don't like because uh like I'll
0:17
explain in this video they have the
0:18
throttle which I used to ride a
0:21
motorcycle so I like the throttle but
0:24
when it comes to electric bikes and
0:26
biking in general I don't like the
0:27
throttle because it it isn't as
0:30
and then another electric bike company
0:33
that I use and I'm not going to name all
0:34
these names because I don't want to like
0:36
you know degrade them but uh another
0:39
company that had an electric bike uh
0:42
pedals when you would pedal they would
0:46
get so close to the floor to the ground
0:50
that when you would turn you would
0:51
literally scrape your pedal on the
0:55
ground and I'm thinking like who
0:57
designed this bike this is horrible
1:01
so whatever those two Brands were it
1:03
doesn't matter this brand is called
1:05
Co-op and this is what I'm reviewing
1:06
today so you have the battery pack which
1:09
plugs in here you can you there's a key
1:11
here so you can uh lock it if you want
1:13
to as well uh the bike itself I like the
1:17
tires they're they're not like your tall
1:19
Tire they're not your big tires but
1:21
they're not like super small either
1:22
they're kind of midsize which is nice
1:24
because when they're too small when you
1:26
are turning you don't have as much
1:28
control so midside size gives you enough
1:31
control uh and the tread and traction on
1:33
them is great this back rack is
1:35
exceptional uh and then the bike itself
1:37
is comfortable uh the seat is kind of
1:41
your traditional seat like you know
1:42
another bike would be uh you have your
1:45
light here in the front your reflectors
1:49
your little Bell right there and uh the
1:53
brakes work great the handlebars I like
1:55
this function of the handlebar right
1:56
here where when you hold the handlebar
1:59
it's got a little bit more rubber on
2:01
this end so it it gives you a little
2:02
better grip than your traditional
2:05
handlebar like this where you're just
2:07
kind of holding on with this it's it it
2:09
kind of hugs your palm a bit more which
2:11
is nice I like it so right here it's
2:14
very simple when you turn it on right
2:15
here you simply turn on the bike with
2:19
with the power button uh the Fang you
2:22
turn on the power button right there and
2:26
then you have your miles and then this
2:28
right here is just up or down so you can
2:31
go 1 2 3 4 5 and that's the the speed or
2:35
5 4 3 2 2 1 and then it gives you your
2:39
miles per hour and then you can change
2:40
your gears as well so what I like about
2:43
this bike in particular is compared to
2:45
the other bikes electric bikes that I've
2:47
utilized is other electric bikes will
2:50
have the throttle right here so you'll
2:52
you know you'll be on the bike and
2:54
you'll be pedaling and then you'll kind
2:56
of do this whole throttle thing like
2:58
it's a motorcycle or a dirt bike or
2:59
moped or whatever and I personally don't
3:03
like that and the reason I don't like
3:05
that is because when you're pedaling
3:07
when you're biking your body is in
3:11
motion and your your momentum is in your
3:13
legs so when your momentum is in your
3:15
legs on a bike you your your tendency is
3:19
going to be to continue that momentum
3:21
with the biking right not with a
3:22
throttle so to pedal and then throttle
3:26
it's just it's two ways to power your
3:28
forward momentum and it it's sort of
3:30
weird it's sort of confusing to be
3:31
honest with you so I actually when I
3:34
first got this got on this bike and was
3:37
uh you know riding it I I almost
3:39
expected a throttle because that's what
3:41
I've experienced in the past and then
3:43
when I discovered okay well it's
3:44
different you have your you know your 1
3:47
2 3 4 five that's five is the highest
3:49
speed one is the lowest uh I turned it
3:52
on to one and I started pedaling and
3:53
that requires you to Pedal a bit more
3:56
two is easier and then five is like more
3:58
motor so essentially higher the level
4:00
the more motor you get and the lower the
4:02
motor or excuse me the lower the level
4:04
the more you have to Pedal but when I
4:06
did this and I you know put it on one I
4:08
was like oh this is kind of nice and
4:10
then I put turn up 2 3 4 five I was like
4:12
wow this is actually incredible because
4:14
when you're when you're pedaling on a
4:16
bike that the motor is sort of like
4:19
built in with the pedaling so it's like
4:22
a a pedal assist as opposed to the
4:24
throttle it's incredibly intuitive and I
4:28
cannot tell you how much more I like
4:30
that intuitive nature of this Co-op bike
4:34
than I do of the other bikes that are
4:35
that are throttle based because like
4:37
once again the throttle based you're
4:38
throttling you're pedaling and then you
4:40
might have to break so like you have two
4:42
ways to move forward one way to stop
4:44
with this it's very simple you're
4:46
pedaling forward and then based on the
4:48
level that you choose here will
4:49
determine how much more momentum you're
4:51
given and then you have the brakes it's
4:55
really that simple so you're pedaling
4:56
forward and then braking and then it's
5:00
it almost feels as if when you're
5:01
pedaling with this bike the motor is an
5:04
extension of your leg muscles and you
5:07
feel sort of bionic that's the best way
5:09
I can describe it you feel bionic and
5:11
you feel that uh the uh you just feel
5:14
like your legs are a lot stronger which
5:16
is really cool too because my legs
5:17
aren't particularly super strong um so
5:21
yeah I really like this bike I really
5:22
enjoy it it's honestly out of the three
5:24
or I think this is like the third or
5:26
maybe the fourth electric bike I've
5:28
gotten on in my life it's honest my
5:29
favorite one and I I I believe that's
5:31
because of the intuitive nature of the
5:34
design I like that the pedals don't hit
5:36
the floor I like the midsize tires that
5:37
aren't too small or too big uh I like
5:40
the rack on the back I like the battery
5:42
pack how it's easy simple you can you
5:44
know lock it in right there uh and then
5:47
uh you know the light on the front it's
5:49
just a clean design it's very simple
5:50
it's very clean whoever engineered this
5:52
whoever designed this um kudos to them
5:56
they did they did a fantastic job
5:58
engineering this bike and then even like
6:00
the kickstand I like the kickstand like
6:01
that it props the front it props the
6:03
front tire up so you can actually spin
6:05
it if you want to uh I like that it's
6:07
it's different and uh it's it beats it's
6:11
the the balance of the bike is centered
6:13
as opposed to tilting to one side like
6:14
your your other bikes here for example
6:16
which are also Co-op but just you know
6:17
your traditional bikes that aren't
6:19
electric so with that being said um this
6:22
bike is fantastic I love the the the
6:25
co-op electric bike the pedal assist um
6:28
it's very intuitive you feel like you
6:30
have bionic legs and uh it's just a lot
6:33
of fun honestly it's a lot of fun I
6:34
enjoy it I cruise around throw on some
6:36
headphones and uh you know cruise around
6:39
at night listen to music and uh just get
6:42
you know some fresh air and and it's
6:44
it's just a really good time so I hope
6:46
