An electric bike is not what I was expecting.

Watching couple minutes from the first video I'm pretty much sure that it is as shitty as everything else izh makes
50mph?! It's declared speed and probably can only be reached in ideal conditions. I think I'd need more even on some trails let alone the dirt roads . I bet it's heavy as a pregnant elephant and controls heavy and ineffective. Russians can't create anything worthy.. if only something with very narrow purpose. Like the bike that can be carried in a trunk of "Oka". Yes, it is a shit, but hey, you can put it in that other POS and drive it to the swamp and then pedal it around
