Exactly, people still think electric motors are rated the same as combustion engines.

Nice review. For better confort you should adjust the angle of your seat (it is tilted backwards), probably change the seat because it's very wide and not always is more confortable being wider. Any sport cyclist can agree with this. Also you could change your handlebars for wider ones. Probably they are short because it is a folding bike. But if you don't use that feature change your handlebars! Easy and cheap fixes for a nice bikes. I don't personally like the looks of the bike. But who cares. And once you ride a bike and its fine you start to like it more and more.

So my new car cost 40,000 dollars, I've still got to pay it off for the next few years. I have to pay for cleaning, gas, oil, washer fluid, and coolant often, then there's winter tires as I live in WA, USA, lots of snow. Then there's emergency costs if it breaks, and other fluids that you don't change often, 1 or 2 battery replacements, and insurance which is extremely expensive, especially since I have no insurance history (drove 2 years w/out it on my old car) and I just turned 19. I don't drive far other than for road trips, which aren't often. If I bought this bike, it would probably last me in good condition ~5 years. Have to pay for charging of course, but cleaning is easy and technically free. Interesting. Also roads here are pretty bad but it's still very possible.

I have the same bike. I have a simple busboy tray strapped on the rack. I can haul 4, 12pk can Pepsi's, a 5lb bag of potatoes and the 8 lb lock I use. Just a little over 50 lbs. I don't push it any further than that. Just came home with a 32 inch Samsung TV strapped to it.

2:55 You can install an 11-34T nickel freewheel instead of the 14-28T oem one make peddling easy at top speed (11 teeth in lowest gear). If you want to go faster, swap the chainwheel to one with more teeth, you could install a 75T there and pedal up to 70-80kph easy.

Yes that's correct to measure for size. And I wouldn't recommend the 75T (75 teeth) as it's too big and would be bigger than the floor guard so would contact the floor when you fold the bike. .The 11-34T is great for peddling up to 30mph, best upgrade for speed.

Interested about how much using this bluetti onboard really extends range, and is it allowing to charge battery through charging while riding? not blocked? Bluetti would be getting much more efficient by just making proper cable avoiding using bluetti inverter as well as bike charger, so it really looks like interesting option of good way to extend range... any information of approx. range increasing using setup like this shown on video?

Thank you. I have watched so many videos on folding ebikes. There are so many and a lot of them look similar or flat out the same with a different name on it. I have my eye on this specific bike. I believe your video helped me decide to get this bike. Price is pretty good considering how much some of these style bikes can cost.

hello, I've been using the same bike model for about a month, and so far the only big disappointment is the battery!!! A total daily trip of 8 miles, in normal mode,on speed 3 or 4, and pedaling most of the way, when returning from 100%, I lose at least 15-20% of the capacity. When I used on gear 4 or 5,only electric,I lose 40% battery, I don't want to try mode Sport gear 5.😅😅 every 3rd day, I need to recharge, and honestly I'm disappointed when the website offers 50 km range with a full battery. Otherwise, the bike exceeds expectations. thank you

Qual a velocidade máxima você alcança usando apenas o acelerador ?????

How is pedaling without assistance? Some e-bikes give resistance.

Really, its not that hard to do a dual-battery setup with this one. Just get a ebike dual battery balancer (it fits next to the controller, in the frame) and have an extra xt60 connector/cable next to the bike rack. Buy another 13Ah or 16Ah battery from Engwe and dismount the part with the locking mecanism. The battery has an internal xt60 connector. Protect the battery in a well cushioned bag and just take it with you when you need the extra range.

Nice review

I would guess it goes up to over 1000 watts as it seems the display is a max of 3 characters while showing the power draw.

I just got mine a couple of weeks ago, only issue I have with the bike is the rear fender rattle and the seat but otherwise the bike is awesome. Have you had any issues when riding in the rain/snow (seems that you are from a nordic country) :).

@fraserthomson5766

Жыл бұрын

Some of the bolts were loose from the factory, get yourself some decent tools like an allen key set, make sure all the bolts have washers while you're at it. You can loosen the 2 Philips screws on the fenders to align center (and a good opportunity to check they're tight but no over tight, it's thin aluminum) There will always be some rattles though, godsend in the rain! :)

I keep forgetting you have this review channel now (that I'm subscribed to), and wonder why KZread keeps recommending the video to me. I wish riding a bike where I live in the U.S. was more accessible, but there are no sidewalks or paved shoulders, and people in their cars are way too distracted.

Great video, what mirror are you using?

can you make a video about biking with a portable charge please? its very interesting

I have the same bike and I love it but I noticed on the various videos everyone has the same rear fender rattle around 8kmh/13mph. I ended up padding the area between the fender and frame with foam but it’s annoying they couldn’t eliminate that at the factory.

Also, 1600k's later, I would definitely pop the motor out of the hub to check and re-grease the nylon gears, makes the motor quieter and smoother, and the motor might last longer. I use Molykote PG-74, which is specific for nylon to metal gears. Happy riding!

Everything from 20km/h to 45km/h is a moped in Sweden and above that it's a motorcycle. Since this one goes up to 50km/h you definitely need a motorcycle license. My guess is that this bike isn't even legal to drive on the road in Sweden. Edit: If it's not self propelled and only helping when peddling it's allowed up to 25km/h without plates and a license.

Hi i would like to ask you slightly specific question, how much range can you get from 100% battery going 45 - 50 km/h constant speed as far as you can on relatively flat road with pedaling, in the most basic setup of this bike like no extra battery, this will decide if im going to buy this bike i need at least 40 km range on mostly full speed that is 20km to my work and 20km back

@ECO-xd6eh

4 ай бұрын

The basic configuration (ECO Mode) would allow you to reach, at most, 35-40 km/h cruising speed, but you could do + 60/70 km. no problem. Guaranteed after my continuous use for more than 2 months. With the most powerful configuration (SPORT Mode) you would reach those speeds (even more on somewhat descending terrain), but you would sacrifice autonomy. Using the accelerator and pedal assistance at random, you could travel between 40-50 km. In any case, it is wonderful to drive an Engine Pro. Sometimes, on local roads (Limit 70/80 km/h), motorists who come in front and do not know how to calculate very well whether what is in front of them is a motorcycle or a bike, they end up giving me the V salute, confused by my speed. Real. XD Good luck with your purchase!

What's the Range😊

The motor is 750w 1000w peak.

good review

you clearly have no idea what you are talking about. Lithion Ion battery has a very flat discharge voltage curve at the top end of its capacity and the dumb engwe controller only probes the voltage for discharge indicator. So while it says "100%" it might be 100% or 80% in reality and you will never know. When it says 50% it will go down to zero much faster than from 100% to 50%.

This is absolutely true.. I experienced the same thing. 100% to 50/40% can take a while but 40% to 0% can be gone in 10 minutes... BUT, I can still ride around ON 0% for at least 10 minutes without a problem. Basically, the gauge is really bad at giving exact numbers. When I stop, the gauge goes back up from 0% to 10%... This is possibly the regenerative breaking

Two of my hybrid pushbikes without suspension would basically equal it. I weigh 100kg and have fairly strong legs.
