Kent Torpedo Ebike Time Lapsed Ride in the Park

The last of my birthday presents was this little Kent Torpedo eBike that showed up delivered from Walmart.com. It's 20" like a BMX or kid's bike and is a pedal assist with a 24 volt 180 watt motor in the rear hub with a 5.2amp removeable battery. After some helpful video reviews online, I opted to pick this up.

It's supposed to be for riders up to 100 lbs, I'm 158 lbs but another reviewer was my size and height and he really liked it so decided to put my money on the table. I downloaded a speedomer app for the iPhone and mounted the DJI Osmo Action camera on the handlebars. I wanted something fun so I set the DJI for a Time Lapsed mode at 3 second intervals.

Looks like my top speed was 16.89 mph and I did an effortless 10.18 miles that just seems to fly by. It was fun to put this together and I had to slow down the DJI footage by 50% so I coiuld enjoy it.

I really like this Ebike. Good quality for the $298 it cost me. Now I want a spare battery to double my range. This little machine will be my future ground support for some drone flying projects that I have planned. Stay tuned! William ~ Flying39 Aviation
