Hello, thank you for Your review. What about the Steep slopes? How dors the bile behaves there. And for YOUR usage, how many km do you do with a simple charge
I probably cannot answer these questions... Denmark has few very steep slopes as it is a flat country overall. And where I was cycling uphill - with me pedaling I am doing 30kmh or so so it works fine... And the range really depends on how much you will pedal. I am not afraid at all to go for a 60km trip and maintain 30kmh over the whole trip, but I am putting effort into pedaling myself for sure.
Hi, I have a question. From what i've seen in your review and in other videos about this bike, there is a lot of "ghost pedaling" with this bike. I'm interested in buying it but the thing is, i want to exercise from time to time too, not just "pretend" like i'm pedaling, you know what i mean? So i want to ask, could I get a little bit of leg workout with this bike if i am to set the assist level to 1? And then play with the gears a little bit so that i can actually feel like i'm pedaling like on a non electric bike. Or is it simply not possible with this bike?
Hi. Think about the levels as “max speed” to which the bike assists you. I can’t remember now the exact numbers, but let’s say you set it to level 1 - the bike will go almost full power until it reaches 15km/h and will try to maintain the speed not lower than 15km/h: if you pedal to higher speed - you are completely “on your ownn”, you get no assist above 15kmh. Set it to speed 2 - same story but 20kmh, etc. For me it actually works and I get shit ton of workout as I set it to 30kmh and always trht to go more than that myself. If there is a wind gust - bike helps me a bit. Did I manage to explain? :)
@@VRMinde Yep, understood. It appears that assist level one will maintain the speed up to 12km/h (checked on their website). So once i reach 12 km/h then i'm on my own, but at the same time it still doesn't feel like an non electric bike since you still feel a little bit of assistance from the motor which maintains your speed to at least 12km/h right? Sorry for the noob-ish questions, never rode an electric bike before :D. I'm trying to find out more about how it works and compare it to low budget ebikes from Decathlon like Riverside 520 E and Rockrider E-ST500. You should review them! :D
Right, above 12kmh you will be responsible for all the speed :) When you get to 11.8 or so it will start helping you again. Never tried Decathlon bikes, maybe I should :) However, on more high-end bikes there is way more adjustments you can do. On my DIY mountainbike it senses how much force do I apply to the pedals and I can adjust the assist I need based on that. I can also limit the wats of the assist- so it is no longer based on speed. I can set "give me extra 100W all the time I am pedalling" or 200w or whatever, despite of the speed I am riding at. I like this more than the setup on the bike we are talking about. At the same time, as I said, I am getting both a good speed and enough of workout. I am not using it as a moped :) I do a lot of pedalling.
@@VRMinde Ah that's awesome, thanks bro. Well one of the ebikes from Decathlon (the Rockrider E-ST 500) is a mid drive bike. I think this is what you mean by how the bike "senses how much force you apply". You should really check it out and maybe do a review. I think it's probably the cheapest mid-drive ebike on the market. Also, the other bike, the Riverside 520 E has a hub motor but a torque sensor! So i think this one also senses how much force you apply.
uh I can't remember now, but I think you had to hold two buttons (probably + and -) after you turn the bike on, it will open some parameter menu and one of the parameters was max speed. I hope I remember it correct
@@VRMinde with the newest update of the M2-app you can even change this via you smartphone ! Thanks again for MERCI your review - which made me buy this bike ! ;-) Rgds from France - HCR
@@VRMinde Overall I’m happy after the first use. The only 2 negatives I would say would be the gears aren’t perfect and will need some adjustments. Also, the tires aren’t the best and I was skidding all over the place on the cobblestone but knowing that I can be more aware next time. Overall happy. If something changes I’ll be sure to update 🙂
Hi, it is 15ah battery. The range will depend on how much do you pedal and what speeds do you go :) I never know how to answer the range on electric bikes as you can turn of the battery and cycle forewer 😅
NEW: my bike just arrived yesterday, 3.5.24, at my French address and they have just upgraded their batteries to: "36V 15.6Ah = 561.6Wh and "Max. Range 130km" (citation of Eleglide notice paper in yesterdays parcel) - Rgds HCR
@@HenryReese I am thinking about buying one for myself, and was wondering if you can share how well the bike performs? And what is the maximum range you can get with it from your experience? Thank you

Hi just wondering if you now how to unlock the speed from 15 mph to full unrestricted, cheers

Thanks for the reply, I'll give it a go 👍

@@HenryReese Cheers mate, thanks for letting me know this, I did not know :) I hope you are enjoying the bike!
I bought this bike to do some shorter food delivery shifts. I consider it an upgrade from my 20 Euro marketplace bike :D
How does it perform for such “professional” use? :)
@@VRMinde i’ll let you know after this weekend 😉
@@VRMinde Overall I’m happy after the first use. The only 2 negatives I would say would be the gears aren’t perfect and will need some adjustments. Also, the tires aren’t the best and I was skidding all over the place on the cobblestone but knowing that I can be more aware next time.

61km of range on the first charge
@@PragueEats Is that enough for your work?
Do you know how to change driving modes? Because the boost works only at start and then it doesnt work anymore
Normally it works until it reaches the pre-set speed. You can adjust the speed modes with the button up and down 🤷🏻♂️
Hi, is it possible to get the parts for this?
eleglide.com/collections/spare-part-for-m1-m1-plus-f1
Is this bike useable for people over 6 feet tall. Cheers
This one yes :) I think up to 2m (6.56 feet)
Hi again, I can't decide whether to buy an M2 or a T1mtb, which would you choose if you're 195cm ? Thanks for your help.
I do not remember now on mtb, but m2 is great for me at 191 and with 195 you should be good as well
You can get m1 plus 29”. T1 has upright position while M2 is more aggressive siting positions
Hello! I would like to know the battery capacity for a single charge and how far it can go on that charge.
Hi, it is 15ah battery.
The range will depend on how much do you pedal and what speeds do you go :) I never know how to answer the range on electric bikes as you can turn of the battery and cycle forewer 😅

Thank you
I have a question before I buy this , on pure electric mode, do you have to pedal at all
No, if you install the twist throttle you can use it as a moped
Hello, just wondering, does the m2 have a full electric throttle?
Yes it does :)
For delivery what is good ?? T1 or M2 ??
Don’t know man, never worked for delivery 🙄
Is the battery of this e-bike water proof during rain?
yes, rain cannot damage it. Do not submerge it under the water though :D
I want to know how fast do 30 km/h feels like slow,moderate or idk and I wanna knoe how fast does it get acceleration
I do not know how to measure that mate :) It depends. Do you pedal? How heavy you are etc. I do not know how to answer.
24mph
How tall are you dude?
191cm or 6’1
