BGB Impala Reviews
The throttle is incredibly handy to get a head start without needing your pedals in the "sweet spot" that most cyclists with a traditional bike would need.
As this is a 32 kg bike you would think that using it without the electric assist is impossible but this is far from the case. On a straight-ish terrain (no grass/ect) you can switch it off and ride around pedestrians and park areas with no worries.
Infact I would say that to keep your speed safe and slow using the throttle is extremely handy as by pedaling at all you will start to stream ahead quite quickly which is something to keep aware of.
On the flipside if you need to shift this thing has five different effective power settings which could suit your needs depending on the terrain.
It is a very stable vehicle like previously mentioned. I haven't touched a bike for two years and haven't had the slightest stability issue except when coming to a stand still which takes some getting used to.
Which leads to my single few negatives so far: As someone who is 5'8, I can easily mount this bike, but if I were say.. 5'4 or something of that nature I think it would be rather difficult to stop the bike and keep it balanced at a stop. When they call it "Big Game Bike" They really mean it. I would struggle to recommend it if someone were under my height as this is currently on the lowest settings for both the seat, and the handlebars for me, Let alone someone shorter.
Secondly, and this may sound rather naive but I am incredibly unfamiliar with bike setups in general. I think it would be a very nice touch if it would be possible to have a comprehensive "Out the box setup" video for those who aren't mechanically minded like myself.
That's it. Thank you for reading!
I simply suggest that you get in touch with Gareth and he will find the best solution for you.
No such problems with the BGB team! I had my bike within a week shipped from Poland ! All specs like advertised and of good quality!
If I count all the extras I put on my Radrunner I could have bought the Impala instead ! It’s not cheap at nearly €2000 now , but if you want a reliable fat tyre bike with 20” wheels the Impala certainly fits this bill ! Above all I came to the conclusion. that BGB service from
Gareth is second to none and this is very important ! Best of luck for your second year in business!
The bike is amazing and very fun to ride. I love the stability I feel on the bike with that added comfort from the suspension seat and forks at the front it gives the right amount of assist I want exactly at the time I need it, the lights are perfect for nighttime or morning riding also the rack at the back gives me more options for storage if I need it
Last but not least the service was very good and made the bike experience buying from big game bikes excellent
