    Gen3 Flex purchase

    The Gen 3 flex thus far has exceeded my expectations, and I was just as pleased with purchasing my 1st e-bike at Best Buy. Paul Amato was excellent as usual in informing me when it would be arriving and the packaging was dent free. This is an excellent 1st e-bike and setup was relatively easy…. Battery life has not been fully tested but the speed & pedal assist are perfect for 1st time buyers….I highly recommend the Flex and this purchase at Best Buy

    Super fun to ride and provides a great workout. Battery life is awesome on this thing and the motor provides more than enough power to get you rolling. I did replace the seat as the one that came with it was uncomfortable but I know seats are down to personal preference so I won’t ding them on that. Overall build quality seems to be top notch

    Clunky to build, but fun to ride

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    *I am an employee of Best Buy.* Pros: - fun to ride - sturdy - comes charged - fast - disk brakes Cons: - set up was complicated (instructions not overly clear) - tires will not line up 100% leading to slight noise of disk rubbing on break (lessening efficiency as well) - no chain oil provided - electronic display pre-installed upside down leading to me unscrewing and re-screwing it in

    GEN3 The Flex

    Overall this bike is solid. I was looking for a bike that can tackle a lot of hills. This bike gets the job done. Build quality was pretty good. After a couple of rides I did have my pedal assist sensor pop off and stop working. I reached out to the GEN3 team and they replaced it. They had a technician come out and it was all covered. Great customer service!

    This bike is great with excellent control of motor assistance and speed. I've ridden it on road, improved trails and full "off-road" mountain bike trails. It performs great, assists as needed to your setting. The price comparison to others is also huge. While a bit on the heavy side I've gone 10 miles of "track & trail" combined and only used 10% battery.

    It is a good bike. I have been riding it every weekday for the last couple months. I had to tune the brakes and the back derailleur after assembly. That is expected when you get the bike to assemble at home (my other bikes bought online all required some tuning). The range is pretty good, I ride through a lot of hills and I only charge it every 2-3 days. All components seem to be solid.

    Electric bike well-made well designed only issue I had was the back tire got a flat and replaced inner tube. Tech-support said any 26 inch tire innertube but I noticed the stem wasn’t as long but it did work.

    Mystery of the disappering eBike

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Picked up eBike today (2/16/2022). Should have been ready on 2/11/2022 but some how got lost at the store. Played the voice mail for the managers that proved someone from the store called me on 2/11/2022 advising that the eBike was ready for pickup. It seemed like a coverup whereas no one wanted to say what really transpired. Have not assembled it. I hope it was worth it.

    Great Overall Bike for Older Riders

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I had not been riding in years and bought the Flex. Relatively easy to assemble if you follow the user manual and video. Not only is it a great looking bike but the motor was powerful and allowed me to get up those tough hills without stopping. Being over 50, I was worried that I would get tired riding for a long period of time but the using the motor on all the tough stretches allowed me to get around without exhausting myself.

    Fun bike. You can still get a workout or do nothing. Battery locks into the frame so that it nice. Seat is also nice and comfortable for a mountain bike. Plus it was really easy to put together. I love that the bell is built in and the placement of it.
