BIKE REVIEW: ACE-X DEMON DUAL MOTOR
This Ace-X Demon is the right bike for someone that is looking for something that has been armed to the teeth to perform as a top-end electric fat tire bike. While specialising in power, torque, and control, it also provides a visually pleasing look that will for sure be turning heads wherever you are riding. Did we forget to mention the endurance as well with a dual battery system? It can’t get much better than that. Let’s jump into it for a simple straight forward review!
RIDER HEIGHT
For the rider height that is suitable for the ACE DEMON, it will be as comfortable for someone who has ridden the ACE-X as well, so suits for shorter to average height riders, and even taller riders who prefer a bike with a lower seat height.
MOTOR
Both the ACE-DEMON and ACE-X have a 750W motor or 1500W motor option, leaving it up to you to riding this bike in either front motor, rear motor, or dual motor, which is all done with the 3-way selection switch on the left handlebar, making those changes as easy as a walk in the park.
SUSPENSION
The DEMON comes with a front fork suspension, but has been upgraded with a chunky DNM rear suspension, making the ride that much more comfortable.
BATTERY
The ACE DEMON has one of the bigger batteries on the market, which is a 21amp battery, made from Samsung, giving you a range for up to 100kms.
DISPLAY & LIGHTS
The ACE DEMON also comes equipped with the full colour intelligent display. As for lights, the DEMON also comes with an upgraded Pro Lumin headlight, making the riding at night 100% more safe.
