Jetson Bolt Pro Review - $600

The Jetson Bolt Pro is an extremely affordable compact electric bike sold online and through big box retailers such as Costco. Available in one frame size and one color: satin black with gloss black accents. Optional front and rear baskets sold separately. 265lb max weight capacity. The 350 watt hub motor gets a mechanical advantage from the smaller 14" wheel size, and operates without making too much noise. The single speed drivetrain is quiet and simple, the chain is unlikely to fall off. Included mudguards and chain cover help keep you clean. Battery weight is kept low and center on the frame. A handle slot allows for easier lifting of the bike, and the steer post folds to make it more compact. Integrated headlight and included clasp-on rear light improve safety. Mechanical disc brakes have motor inhibitor switches. Most metal parts including frame, fork, seat post, steering post, handlebar, and crank arms are steel which increase weight and potential for rust. The bike weighs 43.2lbs and the battery is not removable. Battery charge port is in the path of the left crank arm. Very limited display readouts, only one level of pedal assist, I had reliability issues with motor power and pedal assist. 0:00 Intro, pricing and availability, my stats, total weight 0:59 How I got the bike, motor issues, charger and battery 2:41 Internally routed cables, handlebar folds to save space 3:38 Other issues: broken headlight, pedal assist not working 4:11 Safety considerations (low and only comes in black color) 5:06 Battery care suggestions, limitations of battery design 5:39 Most hardware is steel which is heavy and can rust 6:09 Single speed, one level of assist, 15.5mph top speed 7:01 Exact battery and motor specs, nice cable routing design 7:53 Crank arms, pedals, kickstand, headlight, brake details 9:46 Seat post and saddle, 14" tires, fenders, flick bell, grips 11:19 Bike stability and ride feel, max weight, climbing ability 11:51 Saddle clamp can be difficult to adjust, steel can rust 12:34 Easy to unbox and assemble, no bottle cage bosses 12:51 Optional front and rear baskets, transporting the bike 13:24 Handlebar button pads and operation, overall thoughts 14:26 Ride test begins handheld cam, frame shots hill climb 16:29 Interviewing one of the owners of the bike and his parent 17:34 Conclusion with overall thoughts, compare tools and forums Full review with specs and comparison tool: https://electricbikereview.com/jetson... → Become a Subscriber: https://www.youtube.com/subscription_... → Instagram:   / ebikereview   → Facebook:   / electricbikereview   → Website: https://electricbikereview.com/ → My Channel Home Page:    / electricbikereview   → This is the first accessory I add to any electric bike: https://amzn.to/3aX2dKD → As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. *If my video review was helpful, please give it a "thumbs up" and consider subscribing.* Disclaimer: Due to factors beyond the control of EBR, I cannot guarantee against improper use or unauthorized modifications of this information.
