We bought this bike for my 9 year old son. He has a 24" Trek mountain bike which is perfect fit for size. Compared to his peers he is tall so he is more qualified for Blipper as Blipper is suggested for kids over 13 years old.
Packaging:
Bike arrived in a single box. I didn't see how Amazon delivery person carried the box to my front door but I am guessing he used a dolly since box is too heavy to lift without assistance. Inside the box bike was secured nicely with sufficient use of backing materials. As you can see in the pic box took a beating ( not likely manufacturer's fault but something Amazon needs to keep an eye on) and fortunately there was no damage on the bike.
First impression:
When you grab it from the box and set on the ground you can feel this is a well-built bike. Cables are neatly tied and tucked away so they dont get in the way of the rider. Footpegs are foldable and has a satisfying click when they are folded. Kickstand holds the heavy bike securely in place with good balance. Paint seems robust despite it is not a glossy paint which would be typical with most bikes and scooters. I was initially concerned about the paint thinking it may scratch =or show dirt easily but after several days of use I can report this seems to be a non-issue.
Installation:
Bike arrives pretty much assembled. Only thing you need to attach is the handlebar which takes about 2-3 mins max. It is one person installation with second person (optional) can be helpful with holding handlebar in place while first person securing the nuts. Hex tools are provided with the bike but I used my own tools. Amazon product page says you need to install the kickstand but my bike came with kickstand installed so less time wasted on my end. User manual suggests overnight charging but we were very impatient to try it out. Luckily there was plenty of juice in battery to take it around the neighborhood right after we put the bike together
Drive:
Accelerator lever control has a nice feel to it - just the right amount of resistance so you dont end up with a sore thumb at the end of a long ride. Acceleration is fluid and linear with top speed suitable for the target age range. Speed is also consistent. Bike doesnt start building speed going downhill and it doesn't slow down significantly going uphill so this is a positive again for targeted age group. We didnt do an extensive test run but after covering 4-5mile range in 20-25min riding we saw battery level dropping only one bar. I am guessing manufacturer specs are on the conservative side as I think it will give more than 12miles range indicated in the spec. What is probably more important is if the battery will hold up charges in successive uses.
Maintenance:
With sturdy 16inch fat tires I am hoping we will get a long use of these and wont need to replace it until my son grows out of this. Brakes are drum brake so no need to change brake pads etc. Overall there is almost zero maintenance needed except maybe applying lubricant in tire hub sections.
Areas to improve:
The bike is super handsome looking thanks to its simplistic design with no pedals, no front brake, no seat adjustment, no handlebar adjustment etc. However all these fixed arrangements can become a long term issue if you have a fast growing kid like mine. While this bike is a perfect fit for him at the moment I can see him outgrowing the bike in 3-4 years. Maybe Droyd will have a different model that will be more tailored to bigger kids or smaller adults. In fact I can see a model for myself that would use a similar frame , beefed up motor and battery and slighly higher handlebars and seats. There is always the possibility to add some harness to raise the handlebar and seat on existing bike. Something manufacturer can note for future models.
Final thoughts:
All in all, this is a A+ device with good value. Since unit arrived couple days ago my son and I am doing daily runs to grocery store which is pretty much an excuse for him to ride his ebike. Unfortunate thing is my son is hooked to this and will not ride his regular bike as often.

Best buy I made!
What an incredible ebike! It came about 90% assembled. Included all tools you need and took me about 20-30mins to put it together. Super easy with simple instructions if you need it. You're supposed to wait to fully charge the bike before writing it but I couldn't wait and I took it out for the first ride as soon as I had it assembled. Fun and easy to get use to it. Great first timer bike for anyone needing to learn. The ride is comfortable and easy to maneuver. My girlfriend never rode an e-bike before and it took her just one ride to get use to it. Highly recommended for kids and adults!
