The Best Budget Electric Bike Under £1000… Engwe Ep-2 Pro

Спорт

Checkout the Engwe EP2 Pro here - engwe-bikes-eu.com/products/e...
This e-bike is like a wild animal on wheels! It's so powerful, it makes me feel like I'm cruising around in a sports car... without the gas expenses or traffic! I mean, every bicycle has a destiny and this e-bike is destined for my collection. It's gonna be my trusty sidekick for all my grocery runs, DIY trips, and even scenic rides to the fridge. Sure, I might not take it on a road trip to Scotland (unless they have a lot of pastries there), but a trip to the local corner store? Absolutely, it's the perfect vehicle for that!

    We purchased this Vivi 27.5” electric bike and a Tentaquil 26” electric bike for our 13 and 14 year olds. kzread.infoUgkxUiL0GnyDjP32RJdd660sP8mZk4CRLTCJ The Vivi was much easier to put together. With the Vivi, there was a video link to assist with assembly which made the process easier to follow (we did put the handlebars on upside down, but it was a quick and easy fix). With the Tentaquil, the assembly was not as simple to follow, but after we messaged the company for an assembly video, it was easier and they did respond quickly. The other major differences were that the Vivi has a grip throttle on the right handle (like a motorcycle) and the Tentaquil has a push throttle that you use your thumb to activate. The monitors were also different, so if you’re looking for something specific in terms of changing the bikes functions, pay attention to what the monitor offers. We were really impressed with the overall quality and functionality of both bikes, but if you’re looking for more power and an easier assembly, definitely go with the Vivi!

Nice that it can't be used without the key as well 👌🏼 It's random that you ask about a crash because I actually did have a low side on the Elves 3 days ago (me and the bike are fine, it was low speed). It's not related to the Rudolph style spot that's on my nose though. More detail coming in the video on Sunday 👍🏽

    I was going to buy this bike until I heard of the 250w restriction, and if caught they do you for no MOT, No Tax, No insurance, no registration, and riding a motor vehicle on bike paths. Its hundreds of pounds in fines, 8 points on licence and they will seize the bike and cost you another 300 to get it back. not worth it so I'm gong with their C20 Pro which is nearly the same but with a 250w motor.

    Nice. But the braking is not adequate for the weight and speeds of this bike. Where you're fairly light, if I was on this bike, would mean a total rider + bike weight around 140-150kg depending on what I'm carrying. And mechanical disc brakes are not strong enough to stop that quickly, even in non emergency situations. You really have to plan your braking. Also, not a fan of the cruise control or the fact you can delimit it in the settings. But I see the appeal of E-Bikes, but we don't have enough regulations or enforcement to keep cyclists and pedestrians safe.
