eBikes are a game changer. I saw a 70+ y/o man riding around a uni campus with his cane tied to the back. That’s accessibility! Bikes like this can really improve peoples’ quality of life.
Iam 63 now, when I was 61 I was the fastest over 60, the fastest over 50 and the third fastest scratch ( any age ) first claim member in my club's evening series cycling time trial series at 61. and can still put out 266 watts continuous average over an hour. Keep exercising and you don't need electric assistance.
@@stevezodiac491 tell me you don’t work sat at a desk without telling me … Tend to agree with your sentiment tho, but also ebikes can cut out a lot of need for cars. Theft aside
Test rode this and an Estarli e20. Both very impressive, but the estarli felt much more stable and the real issue came when I got a photo of me on it - if you’re 6ft+ it looks like a clown bike. Vanity won and I bought the e20, no regrets - I don’t think you can go far wrong with folding ebikes. Try a few and ask to get a photo of you on it is my top tip!
@@Electroheads relevant? The battery can't even survive for even 30km. If you are going for some incline, gd luck. What's the motor watt? Max I'm just going give it up to 350w, 36v. There's many new design out there running at 48v and even some with 20ah battery and yet it weights around 20kg. This thing is honestly too old and heavy.
20'' wheels are still good. Go down to 16'' and it's just too twitchy, with the steering overly sensitive. But I guess it's all right if you go really slow. My opinion. Just saying.
A three-speed, rear wheel drive magnesium folder with hydraulic brakes and belt-drive does call for a further looking into and another thorough review I would agree. Does this put it in the same price bracket as the Gocycle GX?
Got mine a few months ago and i bloody love it, my commute is between Leeds and Bradford and since Yorkshire is fairly hilly it's not without its challenges but I'm getting around 20 miles on the battery and now i love commuting :)
UK ebikes are way overpriced, way underpowered. I mean £2grand for this is an absolute joke. You can get a Chinese ebike shipped from Poland with 5 times the power 5 times the range and specs that are 5times better than this, all for under a grand
Had one of these for 8 months, and absolutely love it The motor is a little noisy though and I've had some issues with the throttle Other than that, it's awesome 👌
I've got to admit that they look great! Something to also keep in mind while riding ebikes are helmets. Most people wear cpsc helmets (which arent safe), when they should be actually wearing an nta helmet like xnito or bern
One point to mention is that the electric boost works without pedalling so for example if your at the foot of a hill and press the button it will get you up to 4mph making your start effortless! Me and my wife have had our MIRIDER ones for a few weeks and we absolutely love them. We chose the chunky tyre option and they offer so much more grip on mud and gravel. Go buy one, it won't disappoint, I promise.
Been waiting to see a proper review of the GB3,it would be nice to see the knee room when pedaling with someone about 6ft 3 and range with a 7ah battery 👌
Unsuspended front 16" wheel off-road? you're pulling our legs. One good rabbithole & you're in A&E faster than you can say "stupid wheel size for this caper"
Good vid, a rather niche bike and some what expensive at £1,600 in the UK. The fact it has a mag frame rather than ally, in my opinion, has reduced the market for this bike as most peseants would rather pay less for this bike in ally. Mag frames have their own set of issues in terms of longevity. I converted my own mountain bike to an e-bike for £450 and it can even propel me up pretty steep hills. Something the m-bike would not do....I expect the e-bike would only cope with flat or very slight incline once it had a 120kg person on it.
Costly no, if you keep it for ten years. Now divide the cost by 3650 days to give you a daily cost it is not a lot (45p) for what you get its a big saving in fuel cost and pollution.
@@briansture4353 A little bit extreme in trying to make it out to be so cost effective as opposed to build your own from a bike you may already have by you do have a fairly valid point. As to fuel cost and pollution I would have to disagree on the pollution aspect as a non e.v. bike doe not produce pollution other than the grunting cyclist aboard the contraption. Also 'big saving in fuel cost' a non e.v. push bike uses the human to propel it from the food they eat and they eat food any way so I do not see where you would be going with this. Still each to their own.
Had my MiRider One for a couple of months now and it's a great bike but it hasn't been without it's problems. Although annoying for a 2k plus purchase MiRider support is excellent and I've been able to get the issues sorted next day at a local retailer all under warranty. Just one comment on the video re taking them abroad in the back of your camper...be carful customs across the EU are finally catching up with the new rules and you may need an ATA Carnet for the bikes
Yep. Anyone taking goods in excess of €430 from a non-EU country to the EU is required to declare them, and if necessary, pay the required tariffs. This is not a new EU rule, it is something the UK actually helped to draft while a member of the EU (oh well lol). To avoid paying on spot duty and VAT fees coming in and then back out of the EU while traveling you need to purchase a customs carnet for temporary import. Brexit now means this rule applies to the UK.. But not Northern Ireland - As the agreed NI Protocol.
We purchased this Vivi 27.5” electric bike and a Tentaquil 26” electric bike for our 13 and 14 year olds. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxUiL0GnyDjP32RJdd660sP8mZk4CRLTCJ 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!
funny, your helmet looks like you were heading for a war somewhere. Old school.. Still, interesting, not selling in Europe yet. The Netherlands sounds like a pretty good market as EVERYBODY cycles here.. It does look nice though! I've been using a full size Gazelle e-bike for a couple of years now, perfect!
Erm...I love your content and reviews. My wife happened to watch with me this time. Her question is ...what are those Puma trainers, she's looked but can't find that colourway ?
Bought the original mirider one 4 years ago for 850 and it's still going... you need to switch our battery every 2 years for better performance. Will likely upgrade in 2024 .
The MiRider thread on the Pedelecs forum makes interesting reading. The MiRider development manager makes a few comments and gets called out for lying.
was bit too lazy to leave a comment for your nice shots. But first time hearing about MiRider as a company, aftercare, built in UK (I live in LDN), built by 1 person. Definitely wish them good.Too expensive for myself but might buy a present for my ex.
yes, would like to see a review of the upgraded bike… but, if the bike can’t be shipped to the US, guess the review would be of no use to me 😐 That said, I’ll certainly watch your review… much easier on the eyes than reviews posted by hairy legged ole guys 😁
Great review and yes a review of the new product would be great, so please review. Thank you and keep up the great work. Great to here it is build in UK and in Wigan town
As a bike lover from Canada, I'm a bit disappointed that this bike won't be available here. That being said, excellent review indeed. Would love to see the review of the new version of this bike. And hoping to see these bikes available to buy here in Canada :)
@@dtz1000 yup! It is overpriced but really like the rear shocks and magnesium build. Checked out Fiido D11. Good looking bike but no shocks. Will keep looking at Canadian e-bike market. Still new to it 😁
I have the 2nd generation MiRider One, and the biggest limitations, as someone who loves in a hilly city, was caused by the lack of gears, so that new product looks great to me and I hope you review it.
But, living in London and with the most extremely compact folding bike ever, being mostly produced there, why a single fold bike, filling nearly twice as much as a locally made Brompton? 🤔

Please do a review of the new bike, also compare with the price, is it good value for money?. I have an electric Brompton, love it, but this might be better for holidays away.

Like you’re not gonna review the new one lol 👍 thanks Ellis
£2.5k 😮
Hehe 😁
Would be nice to see a review of the gb3. Also receive or silence s04 ev car and any ev farm equipment that can be used on the roads too
This looks exactly like the Singapore version of Mido ebike
Had one of these for 8 months, and absolutely love it
The motor is a little noisy though and I've had some issues with the throttle
Other than that, it's awesome 👌
I've got to admit that they look great! Something to also keep in mind while riding ebikes are helmets. Most people wear cpsc helmets (which arent safe), when they should be actually wearing an nta helmet like xnito or bern
Why wouldnt they give an extra couple of inches? They look rediculously small.
DJ Audits uses one of these bikes and did an audit of the company, who passed with flying colours
I just ordered one thanks to DJ’s review. I was impressed with the way they looked after him.

Here th-cam.com/video/_VhsBFVlF8s/w-d-xo.html
Ronnie Pickering actually has one of these. He's moved on from his mum's Citroen.
Who?😂
Looks and seems to perform very similar to a Onebot s6, or s7 which is about £500 quid. A comparison video and quality comparison would be nice.

As I would not like to remove my battery every time I leave my bike somewhere is it option to lock it ?
Very keen to see a full review on the GB3 please.
BECAUSE ITS AROUND THE SAME DIMENSIONS WHEELS IT IDEAL FOR PARTS TO ELECTRIFYING A BROMPTON
Yes, Eilis, please review the GB3!
Hi the silver bike u were talking about, should do a review on it
Is it easy to wheel while folded ? I need to use in trains and stations
They do look nice but folding axel to axel is a big negative in my opinion.

There probably is one. So many countries have importers of the onebot s6 bikes, I know there were at least 2 in the US last time I checked,
Look at the ADO A20f. It's a fat tire folder for around $1200 Canadian.

its a hipster upgrage of a bit frame. nice legs
what's the difference between the MiRider and the Swagtron Swagcycle? they look very much like the same bike to my untrained eye
The Swagcycle has no pedals, for a start, a tiny range, and doesn't fold down nearly as well as the MiRider!
