    And our final two products we didn't like.

    It doesn't look bad, but folding it wasn't very easy.

    The EVO Folding Electric Bike was another 'buy this and I think you'll be sorry'. But as far as I know you don't have to worry about being stuck with one, because it never made it to the marketplace. I think this video will show you the reason why. The salesman was doing his best, but folding the the Evo Electric Bike isn't very easy. And it looks heavy and kind of clunky, at least to me. Also their website never went online.

    And Our Final 'Worst Of' Gadget:

    On both our 'worst of' lists is the HydraLight Flashlight.They HydraLight is still for sale on Amazon, and the page still says you get “2 fuel Cells”. I bought this device twice & both times I received only one fuel cell. I returned them both for a refund. If you have space and want one for a 'black-out' emergency, it's was still on Amazon on 1/3/20 for under $30.

    One of the reasons we don't like it is because the thing is huge, not very convenient to store or carry. But the real downer is the 'hundred hours of use' claim. They don't tell you that once you activate the fuel cell by soaking it in water, you get 100 hours of use whether you use it or not. So you can have it 'on' or even 'off' for about 4 days after which you need to buy a new fuel cell. (I learned this from Chad, who I believe learned it from Padre when he has working over at TWiT).

    There's more info about this device and a Giz Wiz Video about it here: http://gizwizbiz.squarespace.com/daily_giz_wiz_gadgets/month/september-2019?currentPage=4

    Still available on Amazon: https://amzn.to/2Qp0gtT  - As an Amazon Associate Giz Wiz Biz earns from qualifying Amazon purchases.

     

    This never affects how we rate Amazon gadgets since we mostly buy everything we review.
