I've had my Q20 Pro for about 3 months. 250 miles so far and I love it. I added some Kenda Kruze tires and Bolany adjustable air front suspension (no adjustment in the stock oil shocks and the bottom out way too easy) and an A5 air adjustable rear mono-shock as well. Stock, it felt like it had a solid rear end. The factory cranks down the swing arm bolt so check that, and the stock rear shock was 750lbs with no adjustment. Worth every penny for these upgrades and it makes the bike way more forgiving when you are off road.
Thanks for this - great production my friend. My Engwe EP2 pro has done 6000 miles now and I think it's time for a new bike (best £900 I've ever spent) - this looks epic. I live in a beautiful part of the country with rides very similar to yours! I'm slightly nervous about the comfort of the seat and I DO like to pedal a bit for excersize - also - the bike don't look quite as cool as the EP2 - but damn - that power looks fun (we got STEEP hills here) - thanks again. Edit - the 'reversed' brakes are an accident waiting to happen!! 😂

Jasus you flew up that hill, that's one slick bike, I'm still on the engine pro about a year and lovin it. I'd prob get pulled over if had faster, saying that, some of those stand-on scooters do over 40mph.
Liking your videos a lot! Recently been watching a few good e-bike type channels because I’ll be getting one at some point, whenever I can. I’ve switched ideals a couple of times now and this bike seems to be winning. 😅
Depends what you want it for I'd say if for commuting in the city it would get it taken from you by the police is a very likely scenario, unless you registered it as a electric moped, even then the possible mph power might be too much for that lol. If you have somewhere private to ride on then you probably couldnt do much better than tgis bike.
Help! My ridstar q20 pro is only going 30mph. It used to go to 37 but l've only had it for a couple months. Both the front and the back motor are working, it just feels slower. It reads 37mph on the odometer and I have the wheel size on 23 inches but on my phone odometer, it only reads 30mph! Please help
Hello mate, His it still OK to peddle to get some exercise now and then just use the power when you need to, And love the helmet we're did you get it from please, Cheers friend.
Had my pro for a week now and it's fantastic. It's hilly where I live so the dual motor was a must. The back suspension is rock hard though so thinking of an upgrade (DMN AOY-36RC). Great stuff.
Looks like a great value. only gripe would be the fairly short wheelbase so it looks a little goofy but other than that, the specs you're getting are pretty great
where did you buy yours from in the UK as your affiliate link is for gleeride american site. the gleeride uk side lists the bike as a 1500Watt (750watt dual motor not 1000)
Mine was sent to me as a review so I'm not sure where it came from. It's the same bike as the USA model and the Watts are usually listed differently for the UK, even though they are the same
are these legal in wales because i want one but im not sure if they are because it has pedals so isnt it considered a bike because you can pedal and you have indicators and mirrors so is it legal?
I am 315 lbs. I am sure the suspension would have some give with me on it lol . I would prefer this as most e-bikes have too much give for me as I have the same shape and size as a lineman lol.
Just wondering, are those different mirrors or did you just rotate them? If they are different, can I have a link please? If its not too much trouble, of course...
Great review. My girlfriend and I usually do quick trips in the city and wondering if I can put a passenger on the same seat? We're relatively small people, 5'8 and 5'4, max weight of 270lbs.
Looks fantastic. Seems to be a real jump up compared to the engwe m20 - 90nm torque and only 60kg is impressive. What's your thoughts on the turning radius with the front hub motor? I've heard it can make steering heavy and more challenging? great review. Tempted- haha :)
I didn't find the steering to be heavy at all, which was surprising. Turning radius seems fine and It actually handles quite well considering it's heavier than most ebikes.
This looks like the Engwe M20 ? Or a more powerful version . Shame it's not road legal or I'd have one in a minute. That would get stolen in my city if left outside .
souns like your brakes are catching or you're riding with your brake squeezing the tire already. its prob hindering your speed and it'll eventually ruin those brake drums.
Thanks for the video! It was a good one. I am interested in getting this. Only thing holding me back is it looks like a proper bike. I searched the site of anything with a normal bicycle style seat. Do you recommend anything in those areas with a similar 52v dual motor setup?
Reading comments in another review and a few complained of going off road or hitting potholes and front forks breaking and getting injured. So maybe consider upgrading the front forks. I think its RST brand that suit ebikes but please DYODD. Looks like good value though for nice flat areas.
@@baconbutttiesyes agreed. Most of the youngster's won't think twice about smashing it through rough terrain with the old bullet proof feeling we used to have haha
How steep is it in % then? Should be possible to find on Osmand, cycle.travel or anywhere else. Stock BBSHD can only go 15mph on 15% incline with 130kg system weight.
Im up in North Wales and like you there are plenty of hills, i keep going between this and the Engwe M20 price wise and spec wise the Ridstar seems better. Whats the build quality like? Are they durable? Do you sell off any of the ebikes that you test?
@@darrencrosbie-rowlands2167 I never use these ebikes long term so cannot comment on longevity. The Ridstar has a lot more power than the engwe, although they are both great ebikes 👍
Depends in how your ride it in the city if you put it in pas 1 or 2 single motor use the throttle to get you going then peddle at the same time & your doing more than 15.5mph when peddling the police can't do anything about it because a normal cyclist can peddle more than 15.5mph anyway I know it is a grey area but trust me I have had a bike similar to this in & around London all I did was single motor mode used the throttle up to the cut off point of the speed & was peddling at the same time I never had a problem with any of the police in or around London I had more trouble with the police in my local area where I lived rather than in Central London or anywhere in London 😊
@@baconbuttties Yep completely and totally without a doubt great fun but illegal in the UK any country within the UK including Wales. It's sad but true, even just having that throttle in the UK makes it illegal because it goes over 4 mph on the throttle. You get points on your license and a hefty fine plus the bike may be confiscated. UK laws are so out of touch with what the people want with regards to PEVs. However a bike made before the ban on the throttles which date back around 15 years ago when we were using British law the throttle would have been ok, but since going over to EU law the throttle became illegal unless with the new law it is registered for disabled. Bad laws bad ideas and not what we all want.
@@1chickenpig This is true but most people don't own fields or off road tracks. It is sad that they are illegal. Not sure you would find anyone to insure it. I have an escooter that is registered I have a number plate for it and everything, I used to get it insured then for no reason at all o could no longer insurance, now of course all escooters have to ride illegally. The govt just the other day had the opportunity to upgrade ebikes to 500 watts with a throttle but failed. There is something seriously wrong when the people are calling for the changes and govt simply refuse to give the people what they want. Instead they give people fines and points. That bike is nice though, but if you were riding on the public road I would suggest you remove all evidence of you on the public road for your own sake, people have been prosecuted with the police using peoples youtube videos of themselves doing what is classed ad illegal things su h as riding unregistered motorcycles on public roads, you might be OK or they may contact you it has happened in the past to youtubers I'm just warning you as this happened to people.
I would of thought miles per charge is gonna be around 40miles because the 2x1000watt motors will drain the batteries at a fair rate unless you can run both batteries together in parallel then you might get better miles per charge or better range
Be careful with them tires they very light but like paper it won't take long where u find yourself pushing a heavy bike miles from home because of punctures
A very nice bike but unfortunately totally illegal in the UK, particularly as the police are clamping down and confiscating illegal bikes. The current 250 watt/ 15mph restrictions are ridiculous, hopefully the law will be amended in the future? Meanwhile my 1000 watt 17 amp bike is fun and I would love to ride it on the road, currently I use private land. The mrs watched this video with me and thought it was a great bike, I did drop a few hints 😉. Great video, very well put together and held my interest from beginning to end. Whereabouts in South Wales was this filmed?
You probably won't read this , I watch all your videos , helped me buy the Engwe x which I love. You give great information. Have you ever thought that when going through the tunnel. You could shout yahoo for the echo .. Anyway I like this bike a lot do you know if you the bike in there basket and subscribe they will send you a discount code for 10% weight a couple more days today I'm offered a code for 12% Do you still use this bike what do you think...are you selling it .
@baconbuttties considering getting one to comutte round town, but if it's about to be confiscated on day one I'll pass haha, it does resemble a bike rather than a pushbike so I have my doubts, otherwise for this price this looks like a hell of a piece of kit.
Looks like possibly KM and NOT MPH.. Thats slow for US standards. Can we confirm the correct speed?? Because that's not the US and he said nothing about it.
If you use the discount provided in the video description it is 1349.10 delivered to your door delivery takes around 3 to 5 working days it says on the website so an absolute bargain fir a bike if this quality if you look elsewhere at dual motor dual battery ebikes that are similar to this the price tag is almost double if not triple what this ebike costs you from another manufacturer ie ariel rider who make the grizzly that bike is similar dual motor dual battery & that is gonna set you back around £3500 then you git shipping import fees customs duty etc so by the time you factor this all in the price of a grizzly it is probably gonna be £4000 or more to get 1 into the uk so this bike at this price is an absolute steal I'm ordering 1 tomorrow morning I can't wait to get the bike in my hands & get out to take my 1st ride on it 😊❤
Ive bought this e-bike about 6 months ago... with over 2,000+ miles. Was a good e-bike , until the battery started discharging and couldnt charge! Ive made severally e-mails to the company. theyre solution was to take it too e-bike repair shop and ask them what was wrong with the battery. Bascically making me too do all the work. When simply all I wanted was just replace the battery. Stay away from this e-bike and the company that makes this bike! They're customer service is horrible.
TVP clamping down on illegal bikes, its 6 points on your car licence if you get convicted. They are illegal anywhere unless it's private land that you own or have permission to use it on. That does not include parks or woods, so it's a bit pointless if you can only be legal in your back garden.
issue is all these bikes are the same. you add a second battery and get range 2000w engine adds the extra but then reaching speeds that makes driving them in a city an issue. if the UK would want people to make these legal they need to adress a speed limit. Not the power. Your car can drive faster than max speed limit. no one stops you driving such a car. so, speed not power engine needs to be the thing.
@BACONBUTTIES The only 3 things im going to change when my bike arrives later this week is the position of the brakes just swap them round if there is enough cable length to do so because thats what im use to & i will also look into seeing if you could put bmx style handle bars on this bike as i think it would look better with them as i am not a fan of the handle bars it comes with im also gonna change the grips because i find the grips with the palm rest super uncomfortable for myself so im gonna replace them with some pro taper pillow grips which i use on all my bikes & have done for years now i just find them way more comfortable than the standard grips they come with i may also see if i can get a full twist throttle replacement because im not the biggest fan of the half twist throttle plus with a full twist throttle you might be able to stop it spinning the front tyre because you will have more control of the power delivery to both wheels but that is my take on what im gonna do to mine when it arrives later this week i ordered 1 this morning & yes i did use your discount code because i am a tight ass english man that likes to save money where ever he can 😂😅😊❤

@@knvern I have personally loved the bike since I have had it I have had zero issues with the bike the only thing I have done for me personally is swap on the rear suspension because the 1 that the bike comes with is like a damn rock it is way to hard & stiff for someone who is only 75kg in weight so I swapped it out for a dnm burner rear shock with a spring of 550lb & it is way more comfortable now

@@RobertJohanssonRBImGuy you definitely can go off-road as long as you stay within the limitations of the bike.
How steep is it in % then? Should be possible to find on Osmand, cycle.travel or anywhere else. Stock BBSHD can only go 15mph on 15% incline with 130kg system weight.
With 2 motors its more torque than a bafang unless you have a really large rear cog

Super illegal in the UK but super fun, I think you'd be pulled over in a instant in the city 🤣
Police did actually come past me and didn't even give me a second look.
City of London police will
Depends in how your ride it in the city if you put it in pas 1 or 2 single motor use the throttle to get you going then peddle at the same time & your doing more than 15.5mph when peddling the police can't do anything about it because a normal cyclist can peddle more than 15.5mph anyway I know it is a grey area but trust me I have had a bike similar to this in & around London all I did was single motor mode used the throttle up to the cut off point of the speed & was peddling at the same time I never had a problem with any of the police in or around London I had more trouble with the police in my local area where I lived rather than in Central London or anywhere in London 😊
@@baconbuttties Yep completely and totally without a doubt great fun but illegal in the UK any country within the UK including Wales.
It's sad but true, even just having that throttle in the UK makes it illegal because it goes over 4 mph on the throttle.
You get points on your license and a hefty fine plus the bike may be confiscated.
UK laws are so out of touch with what the people want with regards to PEVs.
However a bike made before the ban on the throttles which date back around 15 years ago when we were using British law the throttle would have been ok, but since going over to EU law the throttle became illegal unless with the new law it is registered for disabled.
Bad laws bad ideas and not what we all want.
@@1chickenpig This is true but most people don't own fields or off road tracks.
It is sad that they are illegal.
Not sure you would find anyone to insure it.
I have an escooter that is registered I have a number plate for it and everything, I used to get it insured then for no reason at all o could no longer insurance, now of course all escooters have to ride illegally.
The govt just the other day had the opportunity to upgrade ebikes to 500 watts with a throttle but failed.
There is something seriously wrong when the people are calling for the changes and govt simply refuse to give the people what they want.
Instead they give people fines and points.
That bike is nice though, but if you were riding on the public road I would suggest you remove all evidence of you on the public road for your own sake, people have been prosecuted with the police using peoples youtube videos of themselves doing what is classed ad illegal things su h as riding unregistered motorcycles on public roads, you might be OK or they may contact you it has happened in the past to youtubers
I'm just warning you as this happened to people.
How many mile per charge
Website says 80 miles on throttle. I haven't been that far to confirm.
I would of thought miles per charge is gonna be around 40miles because the 2x1000watt motors will drain the batteries at a fair rate unless you can run both batteries together in parallel then you might get better miles per charge or better range
Nice review ! This bike is on 1000w x2, or 750w x2 ?

A very nice bike but unfortunately totally illegal in the UK, particularly as the police are clamping down and confiscating illegal bikes. The current 250 watt/ 15mph restrictions are ridiculous, hopefully the law will be amended in the future? Meanwhile my 1000 watt 17 amp bike is fun and I would love to ride it on the road, currently I use private land. The mrs watched this video with me and thought it was a great bike, I did drop a few hints 😉. Great video, very well put together and held my interest from beginning to end. Whereabouts in South Wales was this filmed?
It's in the Caerphilly County 👍👍
They are just about to charge us £22 per year for an ebike using the global warming scam excuse too.
Is it water proof
@@jacobortwine7063 it's IP rated water resistant
After some time now are you still recommending this bike and have you ever been stopped by the police in it?
I have never been stopped on any ebike so far
No wonder Super73 are having a sale when you can get all that bike has for £1500,

It is a fantastic price.
You probably won't read this , I watch all your videos , helped me buy the Engwe x which I love. You give great information. Have you ever thought that when going through the tunnel. You could shout yahoo for the echo ..

anyone rides this bad boy on the roads in England? What's the police reaction, can you get away with it being 'a little' over the legal limit of 250W?
I think it depends on how you ride it. Ride like a loon and you will attract unwanted attention.
@baconbuttties considering getting one to comutte round town, but if it's about to be confiscated on day one I'll pass haha, it does resemble a bike rather than a pushbike so I have my doubts, otherwise for this price this looks like a hell of a piece of kit.

Ive bought this e-bike about 6 months ago... with over 2,000+ miles. Was a good e-bike , until the battery started discharging and couldnt charge! Ive made severally e-mails to the company. theyre solution was to take it too e-bike repair shop and ask them what was wrong with the battery. Bascically making me too do all the work. When simply all I wanted was just replace the battery. Stay away from this e-bike and the company that makes this bike! They're customer service is horrible.
Can I ask who you bought the bike from? Was a third party
This not ebike but emoped.

TVP clamping down on illegal bikes, its 6 points on your car licence if you get convicted. They are illegal anywhere unless it's private land that you own or have permission to use it on. That does not include parks or woods, so it's a bit pointless if you can only be legal in your back garden.
@@jeffwitt8556 its not pointless at all as You could get it registered as a moped
@baconbuttties Just buy a moped. There are too many grifters on youtube selling these bikes
@@jeffwitt8556 negative comments like this do not help the hard work I put into this channel
issue is all these bikes are the same.
you add a second battery and get range
2000w engine adds the extra but then reaching speeds that makes driving them in a city an issue.
if the UK would want people to make these legal they need to adress a speed limit.
Not the power.
Your car can drive faster than max speed limit.
no one stops you driving such a car.
so, speed not power engine needs to be the thing.
