[0:00]37 mile an hour top speed. This tucks 36 right there. A 48 volt battery in the middle as well as a 3000 watt hub motor.

[0:11]This is the Godoit Lynx, and it may sound very similar to its competition on paper. But they promise that it's just a little bit different than all of the other mini electric pit bikes. The first one is standover height. They say this bike has a 27 and a half inch standover height, whereas the competition has 28 or 29. They also say that this bike is lighter and more maneuverable than large bikes, but at over 120 pounds, it's still a heavy bike. But it definitely is less of a handful than most larger bikes. And this bike has a reverse button that will help you reverse this bike more easily. And that's something that I think should be standard on every single e-bike. And all those things add up to give you a bike that is just that much easier to handle. So it's going to be great for kids and people who just don't want to be throwing around a big full-sized electric dirt bike. Also give you that 3000 watt mid-drive motor, a 48-volt 21 amp hour battery that they say is good for 43 and a half miles of range, which is very specific. You also get a built-in headlight with four different modes, you get hydraulic DOT brakes, a full twist throttle and a screen that tells you your speed and a bunch of other information. The wheels on here are a 14-inch front and a 12-inch rear, and the seat and battery are easily removable on this bike. You can also charge the battery on the bike with this charge port here. Let's take the battery out. All you do is flip this clip up. You unplug the battery and then the battery lifts out just like that. And with a retail price of about $1199 right now before discounts, this lands squarely in with its competition. So are the accessibility features enough to sway people to buy this bike over the rest? Let's take it out on a test ride and find out. Alright, so let's get our links out here for a ride. You can see that's the headlight. It's very, very bright. Definitely a plus over the Tudio. Still no taillight, kinda disappointing. Let's get this thing out for a ride here. All right guys, so let's start off our ride here by doing a quick 0 to 20. I am in pedal assist 3, um, and we're going to go off the screen cuz this speedometer is accurate on here. All right, so 3 2 1. Let's go. 13, 15, 16, it's 20. Quick, man. This is a quick little bike. It definitely feels happy. And you can pop that front wheel up off the line there if you wanted, but I lean forward just so that I can get the best time possible. Really good feeling. Full twist throttle on here. Oh man, it's been a while since I've been on one of these pit bikes. Like this, and they feel This thing feels squirrely, man. It wants to definitely wants to have a good time, but feels a little. I don't know how to describe it. It almost feels like it wants to fall over. You just got to be paying attention. That's all. And of course, this thing rips off-road like this, man. What a fun little bike so far. Cool thing about this bike is it doesn't have a front brake sensor, so you can just mash that front brake. And do burnouts. And drop the bike like that, too. Yeah, our throttle got nice and scuffed up here, but it's whatever. It's a dirt bike. It's fine. Yeah, so far it feels pretty much just like every other mini e-moto that I've tested out so far. Feels pretty much exactly like a Tudio, sounds like a Tudio, got really similar brakes to a Tudio and everything. The one thing that I do like about this is it has that reverse gear, which my Tudio didn't have. I don't know if it has it now. I don't think the Yasma has that. I really haven't ridden any mini e-motos like the pit bikes that have a reverse function like that. So I mentioned that was a thing that would be nice to see on more bikes because sometimes, maybe not this one in particular, since it's so small, but a lot of these can be a little bit of a pain to move around sometimes. So a reverse gear makes it easier, but why don't we go out on here and do our hill tests. All right, so let's just go over here and from a stop. Ah, it wants to lift that wheel up. Yeah, it makes it up there. That's pretty good. That's a lot better than, uh. There's been some e-motos that I've tested that haven't even been able to make it up this hill. I know it doesn't look too crazy on camera, but trust me, that is a pretty steep hill that you would struggle pedaling up. So, nice to see that this thing can make it up the hill like that. I was a little bit worried about that rear shock back there, cuz it does kind of, it did kind of look like an e-bike shock at first. But actually, I don't know this, this might be a I think you can actually, oh yeah, you can fill this up. So this one is pretty much really, really similar to other e-motos that I've tested. Oh. Damn, man. Just ripping. I'm definitely having a good time out here on the Lynx. Oh yeah, hit that tree right there. This is a pretty comfortable bike. I'm really surprised. This bike makes you feel really confident. I mean, it handles this rough terrain like this, really, really well. Oh, I'm not even testing that reverse function. I'm going to I'm going to test that reverse gear out. I haven't tested it yet. So we just press the R button, twist the throttle. Oh, yeah. Wow. That's really nice for getting you out of a situation, especially if you're in like a, especially if you're around like a hill or something. It's really nice to have that reverse gear on here. Just don't forget that you have it on and then floor it and then go backwards. This is going to be something that I'm going to miss on bikes that don't have it. I don't know why every, uh, not only electric dirt bike, but every just e-bike in general doesn't have a nice reverse like that. Really cool. So they're trying to make this bike more accessible for people. So this bike does have the lowest seat height out of those three based on what I could find. Um, I don't have my Tudio anymore actually. I ended up selling that. But this one comes in around the same price as all those bikes, uh, around $1,200, $1199 before any discounts, which if I can get you guys a discount, I will leave it down below. But all those are 48-volt bikes, all of those have a 3000-watt motor. This one promises better accessibility with its reverse function and lower seat height. And well, I don't need that. Maybe if you have a young kid who needs a really short bike and you want to get them on something like this, then this is going to definitely appeal to you since it does have a shorter seat height. This is definitely more of a kid-sized pit bike. Adults obviously can ride it too. I mean, I am, but, you know, if I was buying an e-moto, uh, I would definitely want something with bigger wheels and a bigger frame on it so that I could fit on it more comfortably. It's cool to see them trying to do something a little bit different on here. Plus the Tudio doesn't have a headlight like this does. I know the Yasma does. And that is a really cool feature to have for riding at night so that you don't have to buy an extra headlight and make sure you keep it charged and everything. Big hill right here. Yeah, gave it a little bit of a run out. What I just did right there with that hill climb. Um, it it handled it, but the thing is, this is a 48-volt bike too. So now they have 60-volt bikes for around the same price that are going to be able to have more power. They have more powerful motors. And they're around the same price as this. So, top speed run right here. We're hitting about 34, 35. Oh, just touched 36 right there. Like I was saying, there's 60-volt bikes out on the market now that are around the same price. But it's just crazy that you can get a bike for around a thousand bucks like this, that can go almost 40 miles an hour out of the box. And as far as battery life on this too, a bike that's less powerful is going to take more power to be cruising at 30 miles an hour like this. Whereas if you run a more powerful bike, you can be cruising at 25 30 miles an hour and not be working everything as hard and not be draining as much power from the battery. So, the seat on the links too, it feels pretty decent. I've gone about 10 miles on this ride so far. I've probably been out here for a 30, 40 minutes and I'm starting to feel it a little bit. The motor feels good, the brakes are really, really strong too. So, the important parts it seems like they spent the money on. The frame also does feel sturdy. There was a few little creaks and rattles coming from the back of the bike when I went over bumps and stuff. Overall this bike is feeling really good so far. I think if you're in the market for a small little pit bike like this, but you need something that has a small standover height. They list this weight around 120 pounds. I definitely like that they added in that headlight and the reverse function on here. I wonder what happens if I press the reverse button when I'm riding? Yeah, so luckily there is a safety feature where you can't accidentally press the, uh, reverse button. I actually did press it when I was riding and I was going down the street at like 20 miles an hour and I hit that and it cut the power. And luckily it didn't start going backwards or something. That would have been bad. But luckily it does have that safety feature where you're not going to accidentally hit it and then you're going to like start flying backwards. Definitely a value-packed bike compared to its competition. The quality feels about the same, everything else feels pretty similar to the competition. You just get some nice features like that lower standover height and that reverse function and they claim it's a lighter weight bike. But these those little improvements definitely make this thing just that much better. Oh my God. That is a big dip right there. But yeah, those little improvements just make this thing a little bit easier and safer to live with, quite frankly, you know, having a headlight is a big deal. Also, I'm not sure about tuneability. Top speed on this 36 is still not bad at all. That's plenty fast, especially if you got kids on here. If you're in the market for a little mini pit bike like this and you're looking at its competition, I would say the reason why you'd buy something like this is if you wanted to have a shorter rider on this, and you really do want this reverse feature. I got to say, like I said, a million times already, that's a really cool feature to have, and I like that a lot on here. We've gone about 12 miles so far on this ride, about half battery, so decent battery life on this thing stock. I've been cranking it at like 30 miles an hour. So pretty decent battery life on this thing. If you want to pick one of these up, you can do so with the link in the description. If I got any discount codes, I will leave them down there too.
