Vitilan i7 Pro Desert Trail Ride
Vitilan i7 Pro on a single track dirt trail ride in the desert foothills. This is a stock Vitilan i7 Pro out of the box.
I found the bike capable and ready-to-go out of the box.This bike has more than enough speed and power for any casual rider. It’s potent. I took it out and rode it hard in tough conditions and it came through. I didn’t crash and it didn’t break! I wouldn’t recommend a ride like this for an inexperienced rider, but if you know how to ride, this bike is good fun off-road.
I lowered the tire air pressure to around 8 PSI and put on a Schwinn comfort seat (big improvement). I changed the settings to allow full throttle all the time and moved the throttle control to the right side. Also added Rock Bros bag which stayed secure throughout the ride. You can see my GoPro on my helmet, had to improvise because the handlebars are too thin for my mount. You can also see the shadow of my 360 camera that I used to shoot this video.
As an over 60 rider, my joints aren’t good, and as you can see in the video, stepping over the frame on this bike is right at my limit. I’ve found some tricks to getting on and off, but it’s a bit of a challenge. I have an ebike with a step-thru frame and it’s much easier to get on and off. Aside from that, I do pay a substantial price in pain after a ride like this. I can only ride like this occasionally, not every day. I got an ebike with suspension because I want a softer ride. But when I’m feeling it, I can also put that suspension to work on the trail.
The Vitilan or Rock Bros 35L bag is a perfect fit for this bike. I got the Rock Bros version because I liked the muted logo, but it’s essentially the same bag. Very convenient for taking things along on the ride. It can be removed quickly and easily.
Be careful out there.
