I'm 81 and I've been looking for a Mid Drive e bike reasonably priced and I found that in the Tesway Comet. I wanted a bike that was going tp provide some exercise as well as comfort and the Comet lives up to hype. I live in Kimberley which has lots of hills, the Tension gears help you choose how much exercise you'd like. I recommend the Comet to all it's a great Bike.
I have only gone a little under 200 kilometers so it's too early to give any kind of a major review but I can give a first impression review and the range is definitely great the bike is a joy to ride. I was not able to get the passenger seat on due to the screws kept popping out and I couldn't get the back rest on because they forgot to send me the screws for it but I can forgive all that because they gave me tools and a nice little toolkit that strapped onto the bike and also doubles as a phone holder and they gave me a lock so missing a few screws is not a big deal. But giving the riding time I've had on it I have to give it 5 stars the bike is everything I want in an E bike. Also the seat wasn't very comfortable so I ordered a cloud 9 seat but I never expect seats on bikes to be comfortable when you buy them so again not a big deal I love the front and rear shocks the twist throttle is nice too love the horn the lights are good I really don't have any complaints about this way it's just perfect for me.
I received my bike last week. The purchase process was easy, but all my accessories (bag, basket) were not included. It was a separate shipment. One after one of them is still missing, but I received a notification that it was shipped.
THE BAD (scroll down, the GOOD is coming):
One part of the bike was missing: the metal piece that ties the mudguard to the front wheel. I am told it is shipped, so we'll see how it goes. Luckily it is not essential so I could use my bike from day one!
Support is a bit slow, and no phone support at all: only by email as the online chat is just a front-end to email communications. It is a bit of a bummer as a simple request took two days where a phone call could have fixed my issue (the missing piece) in minutes.
Welding on the bike seems a bit amateurish. But the funny thing, this bike looks mean! So, it kind of fits the overall look of the bike.
This bike is supposed to come with a smart app. I didn't see any mention of it anywhere. I emailed support for more information; I will update this review when I know more about it.
All the indications on the bike's display are in Imperial system. I kind of know what a mile is in kilometers, but I am Canadian, and I live in a country where King's chest measurements from hundreds of years ago don’t affect how we calculate distances. The display is sometimes hard to read during very bright days, but overall, it is good.
THE GOOD:
Setup is relatively easy, but don't lose your time using the manual: use the video on the site and you will be good to go in two hours or less.
I loved it the moment I tried it. It looks mean, it goes fast. It is my first ebike, I am not sure my opinion matters much but life is good on this bike. And it has that K2000 sound that makes it sound cool (yes, a Knight Rider reference for older people).
Controls are very intuitive. There is a control section with clearly labeled functions. Information about rides, speed settings are easy to use.
Brakes are very responsive, as expected on any regular bike. I can go from full speed to full stop in a few meters. I feel safe going fast on a street.
Front lights and rear lights are very bright, I can see clearly at night.
I have been riding a lot and I reached 100 miles (160 kilometers) on my first charge. Two bars left on the battery (out of five). I will try to empty it tomorrow and see how far it goes on a single charge. I am already planning to buy a second battery when they are available to go very long distances with this great bike. It looks like I will reach 200 kilometers on a single charge. A second battery should bring me close to 400 kilometers. As a side-node, the battery is HUGE, bigger than an XBOX, but it is placed under the seat, and you really forget about it. I didn’t believe the claims on the web site about the distances on a single charge and I am very glad to be proven wrong. I live 50 kilometers from work, and I will definitely go to work on this bike when weather permits.
It is fast, very fast for a bike. I could reach 47 kilometers per hour. Not bad at all!
It is very comfortable; the chocks work so well. Bumps and holes on the streets don’t t scare me at all.
It is quite a looker too, I parked it next to other bikes at grocery and fell in love with it even more! So extra point for vanity!
WHAT I DON'T KNOW:
Durability: I received it last week; it didn't go through the test of time.
Phone charging: the bike comes with a USB port to charge my phone while riding. I didn't try it yet. But I will soon as I ordered a Quad Lock system to use my phone as a GPS for those upcoming longer trips.
Stay tuned for more. As soon as I can get a second battery, I will make longer trips and fully test this bike.
The bike has performed very well and the after purchase service has exceeded my expectations.
I love this bike! If you are unsure about buying, GET IT, you won’t regret it. I’ve got over 250 miles on it in less than two weeks.
After adjusting the front brakes and going over the bike completely I took it for a 2 mile ride around the neighborhood. Nice ride, good looking bike and moved right along in pedal assist 1.
Excellent bike. Been up the mountains with ease and city bike path. Easy to switch gears, assist and overall maneuverability.
So far this bike is exceptional! It was a present for my son, and he absolutely loves it. I have ridden it twice, and it is Mom comfortable, zippy and stylish. The customer service has been the best
Bought this bike three years ago and have over 1200 Kms/700Miles on it. I use it to commute everywhere. Street, trail, and offroad. I like that it goes 28mph to keep up with traffic on the road. 17.5 amp battery is very good for long range. Best bike for the price I think.
My Comet-f is the most AWESOME bike I have ever owned. Being almost seventy it has opened the world of biking back to me again. I LOVE it.
We were looking for an E-Bike for my husband who has bad knees so that we could ride together. He is 73 years young. We decided this was a perfect bike for him and the price was very affordable. It came in a very timely manner and well packed. We were very impressed with this bike it is exceptional. I would definitely recommend this brand. I am confident that we will be purchasing a bike for myself very soon.
Nice Bike, comfortable to ride, but heavy.
A beast! Mine arrived in NC 5 days after purchasing. Well built and a lot of fun for a 70 year old,
Was hoping everything was as advertised and it was so thank you. Only complaint is that the trip meter resets everytime the power times out...no option to change it in the advanced settings as somewhere it says I should be able to change that...also no info on some of the advanced settings...bike still working good though after 97 miles.
WOW!... I was honestly very iffy about these bikes, but as soon as I rode one I just had to have it. I absolutely love my comet-m!
