2023 VTUVIA Gemini Review

Video Review

Written Review

Twins, assemble! Welcome to another electrifying review, today we're taking a ride on the cosmic chariot that is the Gemini, brought to you by the electric dream weavers at VTUVIA. With its 52V 1000W rear hub motor and a whopping 70-mile range, this bike isn't pulling punches. All that for a price that won't force you to pawn your precious Star Wars memorabilia. The Gemini is designed for the everyday rider, those standing tall between 5'8" and 6'5", seeking that extra spark in their daily commute or off-road adventure.

Now, let's dive into what makes this bike tick. The motor, nestled cozily in the rear hub, cranks out a robust 1000W — a force to be reckoned with. It's like having the power of the Olsen twins at your disposal, without the Full House drama. And with five pedal-assist levels, you can choose whether you're more of a Mary-Kate or an Ashley today.

With the Gemini, you're not just riding an electric bike, you're commanding a spaceship.

The removable 52V 21Ah LG lithium battery is the rocket fuel to your spaceship. It carries you up to 70 miles on a single charge, perfect for those long, introspective rides contemplating whether Ross and Rachel were really on a break. Charging time? About 6 hours, meaning you can watch a few episodes of Friends while you wait.

Next up, we have the frame. Solid, reliable, it's the Danny DeVito to your Arnold Schwarzenegger. It's got a total length of 73", with a standover height of 20". It’s definitely a bigger bike, but me, being 5’10”, 220lbs, it was a really solid fit! Plus, it comes with attachment points for accessories, perfect for those who want to make this bike their own.

As for the suspension, we've got a front fork that's ready to handle the bumps and grinds of your daily commute or off-road escapades. It's like a good stunt double – you, the main star, will hardly feel a thing. The 26" x 4.0" CHAOYANG Anti-puncture Reflective Tires would make the Batmobile jealous. I’m a pretty big fan of these tires on this bike, as it allows for some pretty fast rolling on paved trails, but allows you enough grip when you do your own version of the bog test. SPOILERS!

Brakes? We're talking Logan Hydraulic Disc Brakes. They're like the Vin Diesel of brakes, no matter how fast and furious you get, they've got your back. With 180mm rotors, tey bring you to a stop quickly! Which is sort of an oxymoron isn’t it?

Meanwhile, the Shimano 7-speed rear derailleur will ensure your journey is as smooth as a Fast & Furious plotline. With no large gaps we need 7 more movies to fill in. With a gear for every day of the week, you've got plenty of options. Even at the easily achievable top speeds of 32MPH, the gearing here didn’t produce any ghost pedaling, and honestly, it could probably go faster, and still provide a solid riding experience.

As for extras, we've got a front LED light brighter than Sheldon Cooper's IQ, and I’d be remiss if I didn’t remind this thing has a whole extra battery! We don’t have fenders or a rack, but who needs em’? Me…at least the fenders. If you’re planning some off-road riding, I’d recommend snagging those!

The cockpit of this ride is like the bridge of the Starship Enterprise — every button and dial is where you need it when you need it. Oohhh..timelines. With handlebars as comfortable as a Friends reunion and a display as clear as the fact that Eeyore is just the sound donkeys make. Obvious things aside, the display was pretty dope and showed me all the types of things i would want to see as far as stats, speeds, and all that jazz.

Whether you're a daily commuter zipping through city streets or an off-road enthusiast trudging through the wild, the Gemini might just be your ride. It's as versatile as the Olsen twins' career portfolio, equally at home on city streets as it is on dirt trails. The Gemini beckons to riders seeking to add an electrifying twist to their usual terrain.

Is it a bike? Is it a spaceship? No, it's the Gemini electric bike!

In conclusion, the Gemini is like the perfect combination of the Weasley twins — full of surprises, reliable, and always fun. Sure, it's got its quirks (looking at you, lack of fenders), but its strengths, like that robust motor and impressive range, make it a strong competitor in the electric bike market. Plus, with a warranty that's got more coverage than a Marvel cinematic universe, you'll be riding with peace of mind.

So, if you're looking for a bike that's as dynamic as its astrological namesake, as reliable as a sitcom catchphrase, and as fun as a 90's pop culture quiz, look no further than the Gemini from VTUVIA. And for its price point, it's a steal — you won't even need to pull a Parent Trap switcheroo on your wife to afford it.
