You cant lift a motorcycle over your head or fold it up and bring it into the office, train or your home. I wouldn't pay what they're asking but its a premium product with a niche.
So what. Its a completely different product, dont be silly. You cannot take an electric motorcycle on the train, it requires a motorcycle license, has parking restrictions, you cannot take an electric motorcycle into your house to charge, etc. etc. the list goes on and on, might as well compare it to a banana.
My Honda Civic cost me £500. I've had it for 3+ years now with minimal maintenance. My carbon Giant bike cost me £1,600 12 years ago and a set of carbon wheels £500. To get a similar thrill from driving a car would cost me significantly more than £2,100 however. I couldn't bring myself to spend £4,500 on this electric bike.
What i miss these Reviews is what maxload capacity these e-bikes have because i weigh 115kg most e-bikes i researched that don´t need a licence plate and insurance here in europe can´t handle this much
Hello, I'm interested in getting a Hummingbird e-bike. I live in NYC. Because this bike comes from the UK, there are regulations that limit speed. Is it true that in the UK, the law for a 250 watt motor maximizes at 15.5 mph pedal assisted? If you pedal faster than 15.5 mph, the motor cuts out? This is awful. The motor should stay on and if you pedal faster then you go faster. If the motor cuts out at 15.5 mph that's terrible. There's no way to make the bike go 30 mph. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
One Fifth the price of a basic Model 3. Buy ONE Basic Model 3 OR - Five of these bikes.In context, the bikes are affordably priced. Like a Tesla, the Hummingbird bristles with technology - ALL out of sight. Folding - Big. Actual Light Weight - important. Controlling features with pedals - very natural. Fitting one in a hall closest - OK, but just folded in the hallway - the BEST. BTW, charge it with a Tesla? Will it fit in the Frunk? Tesla and the Hummingbird are natural companions...
Well, I'm sure his girlfriend likes it, but there are other much more reasonably priced folders, with gears to get you up the hills, and of a similar weight, on the market. Bicycles are already a very efficient way of getting around cities, without complicating them with electric motors and batteries. This bike would probably be at least 10 lbs lighter if it was just a single-speed or three-speed. Also...carbon-fibre is not environmentally friendly. Steel and aluminium are much better.
The price kills this bike! He never really says what you would use this bike for… Other than the designer that built it wanted to make it for his girlfriend to go on the train! Sorry I’ll take the battery out of my fold sport And I’ll take it anywhere!! I guess something unique?
Lovely bike, exactly what I am looking for. A light weight, good looking, foldable ebike for communting. I don't mind spending a chunk of money, but unfortunately that price point doesn't compare well to getting a black cab...every day.
priced way out of the market , could buy a brompton super light& fit with electric kit which is top quality lightweight gear & folds much smaller & much less than half the cost this
You can buy an electric motorcycle for same amount. The price is ridiculous.
DMNC sure is expensive.

If it costs over $6,000 Canadian . I could buy a nice Vespa gasoline scooter for less
Love to see a review of another UK ebike, the Gocycle, any chance?
I have 3 cars I paid less for... combined...

Right! :D
That price...obscene, almost evil.
So light it can be taken away from you easily lol
Fold it and leave it under your desk at work.
For £300 you can convert any cheap bicycle in to electric bike. That is what I did to my 2 bicycles.
Omg the price is ridiculous. I think the price should be $2,500 to $3,500 max.
can you get just the back wheel to suit a standard bike ?(there's a market)
I guess it's the Taycan of eBikes ... or something like that. XD
Far to expensive for most but maybe nice for eco-aware rich people.
Compare this with vello+titan please.
What happened to the rating scale that you guys usually do?
The price actually isn't that bad for an almost full carbon fibre bicycle
First :)
You make awesome videos on sustainable topics, keep up the good work :)
Excellent review style.
It may be the lightest e-bike, but that price is definitely not the lightest 😅.

Love your brand
Check electric unicycles!!!
Like the kingsong 16x o a MSX something like that you will like it

How much is a basic Model 3?
Price is ridiculous. I'm surprised anyone pays that much for an e-bike.
Nice design but still priced for the rich people.
first off I'm NEVER paying 5K for a bike!!!!
So I see there is no need to comment about the price anymore.
Ahem, custom colors are 500£ as per website.

A see some Brompton DNA; wheels, Schwalbes, and almost the rear folding mechanism. Neat though...
I believe a vespa 300 scooter cost same amount.
Dude , buy xiami hino c20 . 800usd only and can go for 50km.
comes off too much like a commercial and i didn't subscribe for advertising
It's more like a two-wheel scooter.
So... did I win the Hummingbird bicycle-of-my-choice giveaway?

I enjoy the review and being honest but yikes! for that much i get a brompton and covert it.
5800 USD, you have got to be kidding. I'll take the much more affordable Brompton folding bike.
Looks like a moulton bike, only more curvy
Wow, I thought it was a budget bike..
10 kilograms including the electric motor? If not, it's just another expensive bike

priced way out of the market , could buy a brompton super light& fit with electric kit which is top quality lightweight gear & folds much smaller & much less than half the cost this
