Question: How different is this version of the Phantom X2 from previous models, other than the price tag?  Other significant things?
Document: Before I purchased this I researched lots of different bikes and was pretty set on purchasing the A2B Metro. The $3099 price tag was a lot to swallow, but I wanted a nice bike that had some great features.I later found the Phantom X here on Amazon and decided to settle. Am I missing out on some features that the A2B has? Yes. Are those features worth the extra $1800?
Yes, they are often backordered due to the LOW price, but Prodeco are very honest and prompt in their communication. Be sure to inquire about availability BEFORE you order, and set your expectations accordingly. Good things come to those who wait.In fact the bike is so well priced, you can easily spend a few hundred bucks upgrading components just for fun without breaking the bank.
There are claims on the internet of even much longer waiting periods for certain models. This is a clear case of "buyer beware".In the end I purchased a different brand 500W cruiser bike which I intend to adapt for mild mountain biking, it is made by an entirely different company with a much more reliable track record. I must say that in general, all ebike companies in USA have tons of trouble getting spare parts from China, to be fair, it is tough industry.
I have found that under some circumstances, it is better to not have the automatic pedal assist. On the Phantom it is a simple matter of just not 'thumbing' the throttle. With my other bike, I would have to push the button on the control pad to turn the power off. It comes down to simply a different style of riding. I have now adjusted to the thumb throttle. The bike itself, just by its looks, has received quite a few "nice bike" comments.
HI! I have had my Prodeco Storm (same bike as the Phantom X just different color and a few minor mostly cosmetic differences) for 2 months now. I had had multiple rides in hilly country in excess of 32 miles and the battery was still going strong. I mostly use the battery to take all the suck out of climbing big hills or riding against the wind, and sometimes it is just nice to just cruise along with out having to pedal.
If it was a flat commute, I wouldn't have looked for an e-bike. Enjoying the bike and it seems well built and comfortable. Couple of things. Same frame as Phantom X with upgraded battery, wheels, and derailleur. Stock Double Kickstand does not fit correctly and interferes with chain when up. I took it off and am waiting for the fix or new kickstand that Prodeco has apparently addressed. A bit disappointing that this was not addressed or realized with production/testing.
Heck, you could buy 4 of these bikes for the price of a scooter. This is one of my favorite purchases of the year. As the weather keeps getting nicer we'll be using it more and more. Now I just have to find some panniers or a basket to fit the thing.Prodeco Phantom X Folding Electric Bicycle- 500W Lithium Powered, 17+mph, 30 Mile Range, 2 Year Warranty, Built in the USA!
I bought a Prodeco Phantom X ebike about 3 months ago.Price - I bought it for $1299 from another vendor, which included a 12AH battery; the other option was $100 cheaper with a 9 AH battery. Unless you're familiar with the endlessSphere forums and want to build your own machine, this is one of the better Price to What You Get options.Shipping and Setup - This was the most annoying part of the experience, the bike needed serious help after I got it out of the box.
Research: I recently purchased a Prodeco Phantom X2 based strictly on internet user reviews. As a new company, they have very limited distribution which makes it difficult to find a retail establishment to physically test and evaluate their products. That said, I did test a number of their competitor's offerings and wasn't impressed by their overall performance, quality or pricing.
I did a lot of online research before selecting my 2013 Phantom X2. The reviews are generally quite glowing and I expected to be completely in love with this bike. Well, I'm in like, not quite in love with it. I use my Phantom to commute to work, 11 miles each way. I've had the bike for about 26 weeks now and I have logged 3500 miles on it.
Answer: yes
