- A: AnswerFrom the many different independent reviews I've read on other sites. It seems that pedaling IS required to reach 28 MPH. Pedaling triggers the cadence sensor which tells the motor to go top speed. Having said that I don't own the bike myself and can't verify this in anyway. Although I do hope to one day buy one.

- A: AnswerYou can only get them from NIU. They have an absolutely horrible repair policy and all parts are proprietary so a bike shop can't help you as I tried to have it repaired at my local shop when I realized how difficult NIU was to deal with. If you are in the return windows still please return the bike because if you have an issue you will have major problems getting it resolved. Read my review on best buy titled" Niu bqi c3 Nightmare".

Fantastic Bike, horrible value.
Bike is amazing, I use it as a daily commuter. I travel nearly 45 miles each day using this bike. The motor has plenty of torque to make it extremely comfortable going uphill. I use a trailer for this bike. I have my 115lb GSD with me for the longer trips before we may get to the walking. I acquired a second set of batteries for a long trip I plan on taking of upwards to 300 miles I will attempt. If you are holding a lot of weight, but still within the weight requirements of something like 360lbs, you can make it uphill. Put in minimal effort, but you'll be glad you got this. MAJOR ISSUES HALTING FROM 5 STARS: The bolts and screws that were fastened by the manufacturer did not hold for more then 50 miles before coming loose. I have had minor damage requiring removal of fenders and replaced hardware. I know vibration causes this normally, but for the price I paid of $2,199 I expected to feel safe immediately. I now check all bolts and screws after each 30 miles or so. Zero suspension, you WILL feel every bump and rock from the seat. You will need to use your legs a bit to soften the ride by standing. Great bike, on sale.

Ideal for warm climates and smooth surfaces
Definitely stylish and sleek. A modern look and feel. Not too cheaply made. I put it together alone and it wasn’t too bad. They include all of the tools needed but I would recommend someone helping you assemble it for less annoyance and time, but definitely not too bad and easier than most I would guess. It has a seamless feel to the way it all operates. No gears. Just one continuous speed from the belt drive instead of a traditional 7-speed chain gear system. It will not need maintenance like a steel chain and will last forever. Doesn’t have the same feel as a traditional bike when riding. You ghost pedal mostly. Not a bike for exercise. Commuters dream in a warm climate for smooth roads at all times. This bike will excel in places where you will have always smooth surfaces to ride on. This bike does NOT go over bumps well at all. Very painful going over even small bumps and especially big ones. There is no shock absorbing on this bike which is why it doesn’t have good traction. But, the tires ARE decent, just not good for anything but the smoothest of surfaces. So a commuter bike is the main point here. If you live somewhere where the roads are immaculate and especially have dedicated bike paths, this one is for you. do not get this one for any kind of off-road activity. This is a great one for year-round warm climates and paved environments. That is truly where this bike will shine. It has a daytime running light, a headlight, a taillight and a brake light. The range is quite good and the the dual battery containers built-in to the design is nice. Can charge both batteries simultaneously. Has a bell and an easy throttle button. Comfortable seat. I never get discomfort when riding from the seat at all. The acceleration is good and can easily exceed 20mph. Brakes are good. Again, not necessarily needing hydraulics for where this bike is meant to be used, in warm, smooth areas. I’m not a bike aficionado and this is my first bike I’ve purchased. Prior, I’ve only ridden on one eBike and was very intrigued by them because I had no idea how fun and practical they are. I first rode on a Lectric brand bike. I’ve ridden this NiU bike for 30 miles on the odometer so far. What attracted me the most to buy this bike was the range advertised and the carbon belt drive system. I don’t think this bike offers anything overly remarkable that you couldn’t get from another bike in the same price range. I think the only reason to buy this bike is if it you are going to use it in the exact environment it is designed to be used for. In that case, you are getting a premium bike that is way more efficient because it is not equipped with unnecessary things like shocks and hydraulics that will drive the price up and instead you were getting something that has superior designs to maximize efficiency and seamlessness, hence why this is totally a commuters dream bike. Not all terrain, not an exercise, not an off road bike. Not even close. Get this for what and who it’s made for.

Best Buy's specs are incorrect, still a solid bike
The bike is pretty decent quality, pretty easy to assemble with all the necessary tools included (except scissors/knife to cut packaging), and an adequate instruction manual. Two major things I've noticed in just the first day I've had it are very different from Best Buy's advertised specs. Best Buy claims this is a Class 3 bicycle, the manual and the sticker on the side of the bike have it CLEARLY marked as a Class 2. Still works just fine, but you should know that going in. Best Buy claims the weight limit is 360 Lbs, the manual CLEARLY states 130 kg, or 287 Lbs. Again, the bike feels solid under my big 260 Lb. body, but the bike itself tells you it is not rated for what Best Buy claims. Maybe they were cheating by adding the weight of the bike (~70 Lbs) to the weight limit (~290), but that's pretty shady and they should not be doing that. If anything major happens with further use I'll update my review, but for now I'm happy with purchasing this on a discount. I'd be upset if I had paid the MSRP.
