Assembly with this bike was straightforward because there was a QR code to a video, a manual, and the bike came with its tools making the assembly easy. This was really great.
Get ready to feel bumps! No matter how small or big a crack in the road is, you will feel it because there is no suspension on this bike.
I do not recommend going off-roading or on uneven terrain such as grass or dirt because of the lack of suspension and the tires being too thin for my liking. I recommend riding on smooth roads as much as you can for the best experience.
I've noticed a difference between the fastest and lowest speed, so to save battery I keep my setting on the lowest speed. This saves quite some battery throughout the day.
The assist is just that, an assist. On this particular bike, you will still have to use manpower to propel you forward. The assist helps you go faster on straightaways and work less going up hills (in my experience).

Features: brake lights on both sides of the back tire, so every time you brake they turn on; it includes turn signals, a bell, and a not-so-bright front light. The tires have a reflective strip adding to its looks and safety.
This bike gets me from point A to B a lot quicker than walking, and I'd recommend this for somebody who travels far or enjoys beach cruises. For this price range, it depends on what you will use this bike for specifically, so I also suggest looking at the bike information such as torque, weight, etc.

My first e-bike purchase was a Sinch.2, and although I enjoyed it, it felt less bike to me and more like a machine driving me around. Not bad, but I wanted a bike first with the added bonus of electric assist to help me up the many hills in my city.

The Soltera.2 was exactly what I was looking for. It's light, has great handling for the growing network of bike lanes in my city, and has good enough assist to help me up hills. I find it a bonus I can turn off the electronic assist and ride this like a regular bike, something I couldn't do on the much heavier Sinch.2 without incredible effort. I also prefer the more traditional twist gear shifting on this bike compared to the push button gear changing on the Sinch.2. I recommend this bike to anyone looking for a great traditional cycling experience with the added benefit of electric assist.

This bike isn't the most powerful and even on hills you still need to contribute some pedal power, but this is the experience I expected from a bike. The only time I wish this bike has more power is on windy/gusty days. Even with the e-assist, you'll be putting in quite a bit of manpower if you're fighting against the wind and you'll see the battery drain a lot faster in these conditions. My partner zips right along despite the wind with his Sinch.2 and it's more powerful motor.

Overall this bike is a lot of fun and I think it's a pretty great bang for your buck, especially if you get it on sale. There are a few things to address to inform future buyers.

1. The drivetrain components are solid but it is the bottom of the line Shimano. The derailure is going to be more of a pain to work with and the shifter is a little bit annoying. I knew this before I bought it but I'm really not a fan of grip shifters and that could be an issue on longer or more intense rides, for casual commutes it's tolerable.

2. I would love to have a lower level for the pedal assist. It's just too much juice even on eco mode when you start up. It's fine if you are lazy but I wanted an e-bike that was more of a range extender than an electric moped.

3. The brake disc's are also a little flimsy, both were slightly bent upon arrival and that's something that I'll have to get my shop to fix.

4. There is no blinker indicator that I can tell on the computer so you could be riding around with your blinker on for a while without knowing it.

5. The computer is fairly basic and the headlight is kind of crap.

Some positive things: the brake lights are sweet, the battery locks in very securely, the seat is better than I expected, very comfortable ride, plenty of power up to the 20mph cut-off which is honestly plenty fast enough. Battery life seems ok, did 13 miles and 1000ft elevation gain and used about 45% on eco mode @ 45F.

Overall, I'm pleased with the purchase. I'll be happy to use this as my daily commuter. I really wish they had gone with a trigger shifter, for a few more dollars it would have been well worth the cost. I may be modifying my ride soon...we'll see how it goes.

I am so excited about my Soltera.2. I wanted to check out the battery range last weekend, but apparently i am a bad judge of distance. i ended up doing an 11 mile ride, out a country road, down to a river trail, a couple miles along the trail, then a few miles through another town, then back home via back roads with rolling hills. The bottom line is, i had to put a little effort into pedaling, as i never took it out of ECON mode. But hills that would normally have been intimidating and a challenge were pretty easy. i was even fighting a pretty stiff headwind at times. Now the important part... I am 165 pounds, and after that 11 mile ride, i still have 88% battery. That may not be completely indicitive of the range since it did not come off 100% until about mile 5. But i think i am pleased so far. The bike feels comfortable to ride and i like riding it. They only thing that bothers me is the weight. Even without the battery, it is a lot heavier than my manual road bike. I guess that should not completely surprise me. There are bikes that are lighter, but not at this price point, with these features. I recommend this bike.
