Summary of Reviews

We have read all expert and user reviews on the OUXI V8. In summary, this is what cyclists think.

8 reasons to buy

Testers and buyers agree the V8 is “fast” and “fun” to ride.
The V8 features a “loud” horn, fenders, and lights with daytime running mode, turn signals, and brake activation.
Riders enjoy the “great” range, getting 25 to 30 miles using a mix of pedal assist and throttle.
The basic, non-adjustable fork is “well damped” according to a reviewer.
A 300lb owner says the V8 is comfortable and, along with testers, enjoys the “well-padded” seat.
OUXI's choice of cast wheels eliminates the issue of broken spokes.
A reviewer says the V8 is great on rough pavement.
This bike can carry up to 330lb.

8 reasons not to buy

OUXI states rider fit of 5’4″ to 6’5″, but a tester notes that riders above 5’8” might feel cramped, and an owner says the seat is too high for 5’4” riders.
Owners agree the headlight is too “dim” for unlit roads at night.
Buyers say the “poor quality” tools, “vague” instructions, and ill-fitting parts make assembly a challenge.
Many owners lament the lack of instructions on how to use the display controls.
The noisy mechanical disc brakes draw complaints from testers and owners.
Buyers report inconsistency in reaching the unlocked max speed. Some reach 23 to 25mph; others say they reach 30mph.
Owners struggle to get the tires to seat on the rim.
The speedometer tends to read higher than the actual speed, say buyers.

Bottom line

OUXI's V8 is a moto-style e-bike with a 750W motor and 20" x 4" tires. The fast, comfortable ride and 25 to 30-mile range impress buyers and testers. They also appreciate the "well-damped" fork, long seat, and comprehensive accessories. Inadequate documentation makes both assembly and operation frustrating for owners. Many buyers replace the "terrible" mechanical disc brakes with aftermarket hydraulic discs. However, rider fitment is probably the biggest flaw; the seat is too high for shorter riders, and the cockpit is cramped for taller riders. But if it fits, reviewers and owners think the "fun" V8 represents great value for urban rides.

Level 1 expert

In conclusion, the V8 is a fantastic bike for off-road riding. It’s equipped with Shimano gears, this amazing light, impressive turn signals, and a sleek matte-black finish that I love.
