Wife purchased a Kommoda Max in June 2025. Bike came packaged nice and set up went well. Very attractive paint scheme in Orange and Black.
We have 5 electric bikes in the family so very aware of what to look for based on our riding style and experience. We ride mainly paved and hard packed dirt rail trails.
This bike gives us no range anxiety at 52 volts and 20Ah.
After adjustments were made for her preferences she complained about the lack of pedal effort at speed. Ghost pedaling its called and someone mentioned it was like a Hampster in a wheel type feeling. She was going fast and couldn't peddle fast enough to keep up.
Because of the smaller wheels the pedals are closer to the ground so taking corners can get exciting very quickly. The pedals will hit the ground. Not a deal breaker but something to be aware of.
She did not like the twist throttle so we ordered a new thumb throttle . The first one arrived and it was the wrong type which didn't work. After a lengthy go round we finally got the right one about one month later because not in stock parts come from China.
We researched You Tube for a solution to the pedaling problem. We found a new rear cassette was in order. The specs are Shimano 11-28 tooth.
Once installed it was a totally new bike. It ran faster with no ghost peddling and its stated top speed of 28mph was achievable . We normally don't run top speed all the time but its nice to know we can if we want to go that high. The bike now has the proper pedaling resistance based on ground speed .
I would rate the Kommoda series a s a smooth cruiser type bike.
To recap here's what you need to know:
1) As stated the pedals are closer to the ground because of the smaller wheels. The pedals will hit the ground at speed while turning corners.
2) To fully utilize the bikes full potential a new rear gear cassette is needed. 11-28T is good and you can go as high as 11-34 for those steeper climbs.
3) The bike is highly maneuverable at slower speeds . However the front wheel is very nervous at higher speeds. It has to do with less gyroscopic action based on the smaller wheels. Our 26 and 29 inch Ebikes don't display this tendency as they track very well.
4) Customer service is considered fair . They answer calls and apologize for any inconveniences but problems seem to drag out for too long a period of time.
5) She purchased the bike from the authorized Ebay Cyrusher store . For some odd reason which I cannot understand warranty claims for bikes purchased from Ebay have to go thru for processing thru Ebay and not Cyrusher proper .
6) If you need a part for the bike that's not in stock it has to be ordered from China. This will takes weeks.
7) A thumb throttle is more intuitive so I'm not sure why they installed a motorcycle twist type. You can order the bike with a thumb throttle for no money.
8) At 5 feet two inches she can stop the bike and almost put both feet down and the smaller wheels make the bike less intimidating.
9) The Kommodas' target audience is such that the bike needs turn signals.
10) The front headlight is the bomb and the integral rear tail/stop light can be seen from quite a distance. Great job there.
11) The Koomoda s' full suspension rocks the house . It cannot be stated strongly enough how full suspension smooths the ride out so much it feels like riding on air. Most Ebikes have a hard tail design. Even with a suspension seat post on a hard tail it gets really bumpy back there and ruins your ride.
Hope this helps someone decision process.
