GeoOrbital Electric-Powered Bicycle Wheel - Turn Any Regular Bike Into a Self-Moving Vehicle, No Pedaling Required (20mph, 500W Motor) - Easy 60 Second No-Tool Installation

I purchased my first GeoOrbital wheel about 5 yrs ago. I enjoy cycling but was always the slowest member in the group. Now I go as quickly or slowly as I like. I can use pedal assist or I can use the throttle to get through a busy intersection quickly.The GeoOrbital wheel replaced the front wheel on my Light Speed bicycle with very little effort. Now I have the best of both worlds, my personal road bike with Power. I have ridden over 40 miles on a charge before my power ran out. Fabulous wheel and even better customer service.Sharon D.

It's an excellent entry level conversion kit. I've been riding around for one month and about 800 miles. Sure the range on one battery is good for short hops, but for my nearly 40 mile loop I needed to double my capacity. Geoorbital offered to upgrade my wheel battery, but in the end with a little advice from their team, I managed to build an external battery adapter that doubles my overall capacity. The wheel does rattle a bit, likely due to the springs, and the motor does cause a ton of drag in assist mode or powered off. My only request is that they have some sort of bluetooth software to adjust the assist mode to personal preference (within legal range). As for rain, I just recently had the bike rained on while at work. Fortunately I saw it comming and brought the batteties in, the everythjng else got a dose of rain. Once dry everything ran like normal.

This review is for the 700c wheel.Ride the thing once, started wobbling badly. Sent video and they told me it was normal. I mean, this thing was going to fall off it was wobbling so badly. I was concerned about the quality of the 700c wheel since it's a very thin profile, and being a rider over 200 lbs I wanted to make sure it could handle my weight as I rode.They charged me a $100 restock fee, even though it was broken. If I'd had it for a few weeks, maybe I'd have accepted a replacement, but I rode less than ten miles on paved bike trails. Pretty crappy.Onto the usability.Super easy to install, super easy to uninstall.Riding with the wheel, it's basically impossible to pedal and move the bike while not using the motor. I ride a light weight road bike that with little effort goes 10mph. Exert some effort and 16-18 is easy. With this wheel on, while not using the motor, I couldn't maintain a 6pmh pace as it is like pedaling in the highest gear but moving nowhere.While using the motor, it easily got up to 20mph, and would have gone around 30 miles with light pedaling and me weighing over 220.Overall, I don't recommend this, and am frustrated that my only options were either take a new wheel or lose $100 since this wheel wouldn't work out for me. Maybe the 26" wheel is better, but you literally cannot ride your bike without a massive amount of effort if your battery dies.

I purchased a 700C model in July 2017 and another 700C model in March 2018. Today is July of 2022. Both wheels performed very well with only minor malfunctions. For example, a fuse needed to be replaced in one wheel's battery. I put over 7,000 miles on each wheel. I understand batteries will not last forever, which is why I have been trying to contact GeoOrbital for several months now, to purchase replacement batteries, but they will not respond.

I purchased this wheel through BestBuy about 3 months ago. I have been using it almost daily on my commute to work. In this time, I have come to really love this wheel. My favorite thing about it is you don't need to own a second bike. I have a pretty sweet Jamis bike that I invested a lot of money in to. Before I got my bike, I looked at getting a dedicated e-Bike. Sounded like a great idea until I realized that you are stuck with that bike. If you want to bike normally without the electric power, you are typically stuck on a Hybrid type bike with a lot of extra weight. If you have the GeoOrbital wheel, you can just pop off the wheel and throw on your stock wheel and boom, you have your bike back to normal.The electric power this thing produces is incredible. I live in a super hilly city, I swear I am always biking up hill no matter which direction I am going! This wheel makes conquering those hills no issue. Even with all these massive hills, if I bike with the wheel, I can get about 20 miles of range on my wheel. I find this pretty impressive considering I am rarely biking on a flat surface.Another big perk to this extra power is being able to keep up in traffic. I don't really get nervous in traffic anymore. I even had someone honk at me only to apologize to me at the next light when they saw that I could keep up in this grid locked traffic.I have had a few issues pop up here and there, but GeoOrbital customer service has been great. They usually get back to me in a day or two from my email and they have supported me completely.If you are thinking about getting an e-Bike but either already have a bike or don't want to spend loads on a dedicated e-Bike, the GeoOribtal wheel is the way to go. I never thought I could bike to work, but now it is easily doable. Biking with the wheel has also been great exercise.

During my 8 months with my wheel the battery has broken down twice. The wheel has broken down twice. Every email correspondence involves them not responding and me having to resend my email inquiries. It has been very frustrating and it seems as though their product was not made to last more than 7-8 months of moderate use (I used the wheel about 4-5 times per week for about 2-4 miles each day).It is a constant battle to get faulty parts replaced/fixed and their customer service is seriously lacking. I really want to like them as I am all for more electric bike hype but the wheel I received just keeps having problem after problem. I will give them credit that so far they have *attempted* to fix it under warranty (no cost to me yet) however I know that once it's out of warranty at the end of the year it will probably break down a third time and I'm definitely not going to spend money on fixing something that has already broken down 2 times (4 if you count the battery issues). My advice is not to buy this if you want an electric wheel that will last. I personally am never going to buy from them again.
