This is so good and I’m 14 and I don’t have a bike or E scooter or anything so this would be amazing for getting to school and back!😊

At 15 miles per hour, when my e-bike flipped over, I broke my arm and fractured my skull. Now, after almost a month off work, I have a titanium plate in my arm and still a lot of pain every day. I was lucky to get out of it with my eyesight intact and no broken vertebrae or bleeding on the brain. I don't blame the bike for this and am itching to get out to ride again, but I won't be allowed to until August. That was at 15 miles per hour. Imagine how much worse all of that probably would have been if I'd been going faster. I love my e-bikes and scooters and wouldn't be without them but, please, before going on about how much better they'd be if they went faster - maybe even making people want to mod their machines - think about how badly that extra speed can make things go. Speed isn't everything and at faster speeds, they are just not safe.

Sorry about your accident. I had a motorcycle accident back in 2015, got run over by a distracted driver who was totally at fault for running a stop sign. I had my safety gear on(helmet, gloves, jacket, chaps, boots) but I still have to have neck Micro-fracture surgery(12 screws in my neck.) as well as a plate on my left ankle and some internal surgeries. I recently ordered a DYU D3F e-bike that I plan on riding slowly on sidewalks and against traffic when I have to get on the roadway, which hopefully won't be often(I live in a small town in South Texas. Whataburger is 1.5 miles away...:)). I think that with all the distracted drivers out there, older folks like me(I'll be 65 in July, God willing) are better off staying off of roadways, using an e-bike that is not fast, easy to get on/off of, that also gives us the ability to pedal, and has a good range. I'm not riding the DYU until my skating helmet that has a front and rear lights arrives. I'm looking forward to getting back on 2 wheels(I have a couple of recumbent adult tricycles that I ride on bike paths.).

I came off downhill at 34mph when my front wheel folded . If i was not in full winter gear with two hats on i wouldn't be posting this . I knew i had worn the front wheel past its brake wear grooves but i kept putting it off ...I was head to toe bruised and had a knee bursa for months . New wheel now! but i do worry about these 30..40mph ebikes everywhere . I did speak to a policeman who did say they were illegal but unless you were a dick on one there was very little if any enforcement. I have a 250w road legal switch but in UK the throttle makes it illegal anyway yet there a million times better than pedal assist.

This looks amazing. I'm guessing it's more of a commuter bike than a tourer of any description. I currently have a standard electric bike which I use around town going to and from my part time work three or four times a week. I love the bike, but don't always feel especially safe. I've given up trying to navigate roundabouts on it, as I might as well have a target on my back. The fact that this looks a bit more substantial and has indicators might improve my confidence a little. The big disappointment I have with my electric is that I get nowhere even close to the range it claims to have. Have you yet done the in depth review of this one? If not can you (or any other kind reader) tell me roughly how far (town use) this would go on a full charge? The price, by the way, seemed pretty good to me!

There's a white wire u can disconnect and doubles the speed . It's in the plastics infront but above your feet

Looks nice, but it needs a twist-grip throttle, not just an on/off switch, so you can go slowly, for getting through tight squeezes etc, as well as flat out. 25 - 30 mph would be more practical. A 49cc rev-n-rip will go 30, and more, if you know how to tweak it!

@@e-VRC My Giant Hybrid Escape 2 bike is pretty heavy by modern standards! The sync drive rear wheel hub motor would “easily” enable me to ride up a hill of that incline, and even steeper if required. Although you are correct in saying the rider needs to pedal, from experience; the effort required is minimal, even in the lowest power mode (Eco). My bike is that good, I could climb a steep hill with no “run up”, even when the bike starts off in a high gear. If I drop down to say 2nd gear and let the bike slow down, as soon as I “gently” pedal, the motor kicks in and enables me to climb most hills. If I chose to select “sport” mode, the bike could accelerate up most hills enabling me to shift up to one of the highest gears (say 5 or 6). My understanding is the motor works on torque, not cadence.

E-bike laws are not “mental”. They are intended to keep E-bike capabilities close to those of bicycles. Bicycles, including E-bikes, can be ridden on the road without type approval for the vehicle or license and insurance for the rider. If you want to go faster buy a type approved vehicle, get a license to ride it and pay for insurance. Then you can have your safe handling, adequately braked fast E-bike and not be a liability to other road users and pedestrians.

@@lolorick5885 Bikes are already prohibited from footpaths. The problem is (at least where I live) a lot of footpaths are now "shared use" for cyclists and pedestrians, which basically means the council had some kind of target for miles of new cycle paths, but instead of building proper separate cycle paths they just put up a sign saying you can ride on the pavement. Which is crap for cyclists because the surface is usually terrible, and crap for pedestrians becase you have bikes weaving around you.

at 14 years old I was pedaling a 10 speed at 20mph... ebike laws over there so stupid..

I'm pretty sure the motor controller on that has an open connector for a throttle so you can probably just buy one for it. Apparently it looks like there is a speed limiter wire on the controller that you disconnect to unlock the top speed. This is the video I believe you need kzread.info/dash/bejne/hoqusJemg6Xgp7g.html

You can legally have a throttle on a 250W e-bike in the UK (but not in the EU). I'm not sure why they don't sell a throttle for these in the UK.

The throttle can only take the bike up to 6kph in the uk so bike companies don't bother putting the throttle on. I wish they still would as the initial start can be helpful as with the green button on the eskuta.

@@e-VRC you can get it type approved as a 250W LPM for £55 with a government MSVA inspection. All it needs are front/rear lights, a stand if over 35kg and you can legally have a full throttle, with it still being classed as a bicycle.

@@e-VRC maybe if you could blag a throttle kit from eskuta, you could take it through the MSVA inspection process to get it legally classed as a 205W LPM. Would make an interesting video, nobody has documented the process on YT yet!

great little thing ,but all i can see is that laws will be made against them ,for some reason

I reckon it will be fine. It's safer and also slower than an ebike. People even make ebikes look like little cars.

it may be nice but £1,800 is not a small amount of money. you really want to give one to your kid to take to school. 40 - 50 mile range. may be fine for delivery people. but not so much for kids since its far too much money for a kid to have it. more likely to be stolen when the kid is about to get on it.

The weight and size of it are a bit of a disadvantage IMO

On the continent, 25 Km per hour

It's not legal in UK on public roads. No type approval and battery voltage is too high for ebike status.

Is Eskuta legal in UK? Electric Stand-Up Scooters Currently, you can legally buy an eScooter, but you can't ride it on the UK public road, cycle lane or pavement. The only place an eScooter can be used is on private land, with the permission of the landowner.

Not in the EU. Restrictions are based on power output and maximum assisted speed not weight of the bike.
