Nice ride review but should Contain pros and cons like the fact that there are reports battery and charger dangerously short out eventually customer service isnt really that great. I'm here to see if these issues have been fixed in 2021 before I think about buying one.
That advice applies more to racing bikes. On a bike like this, the pedals are a bit higher off the ground than racing bikes, so the seat needs to be lower.
Frustrated me as well… seat height looked set too low and it looks quite uncomfortable! Riding more than 10 miles like that will probably lead to injury!
She looks a lovely bike and very smooth. Not so keen on those keys hanging upside down though on the frame.. that looks a bit iffy to me. Love the review and thanks for the clarification (albeit later in the video) that the bike was for private land only (as its over the 250w uk limit). Your website page for this does need to be updated to mention this though. Thanks for sharing!
Yes I think that the big tyres could be an issue as they draw allot of attention. Riding a bike above 250w isn't gonna get you in much trouble to be honest loads of people do it. Have you been to a city recently? They are full of people whizzing around on 500w scooters. E-bikes are the least of the polices problems.
@@Jack-ye6fm Hi there, how about the CE sticker somewhere under the seat. Is it obviously and easy to see, that this bike is the 750Watt version? I order the 250watt EU version with the 14A battery. Do you know if it’s possible, if I buy a 2nd replacement battery with 17A, to use it with this bike or would it be a compatibility problem. I my mind it is just more capacity the voltage will be still the same. Also what Ive heard about the 250Watt Version, Even it is 250w it have some peaks up to 750watts shown on the display while by example riding uphill. But don’t know where the excact difference is. Maybe with Thump throttle in ludacris Mode it is anytime available the power of 750watts, while on a 250Watt version it is supportive function only, up to 750 watts when needed controlled by by the software. Just my theory by seeing other videos of the 250Watt version. Best regards from Göttingen Jens
@@Techniksalat I will not give a rats butt about German eu restrictions. Get then 750w and just have fun. It’s crazy isn’t it? Out of fear humans go totally slave mode. Greetings from another Kraut.
Does Mate X now come with this SRAM shifter instead of the shimano grip shifter that it used to have (the same they have on the website)? I also noticed that the finishing on the bike’s frame in this video is quite better, much different from most pictures I have seen where you can clearly see the welding.
Own loads of e bikes with different power levels,I personally find it easiest getting up any hill using pedalling combined with a few burst of throttle every few seconds
I really want to buy this bike , but so many people r complaining about it. Most of the people r saying that the bike is so comfortable but after months of using the bike you will start having so many issues. Iam courier and riding bike for 8 to 10 hours daily. 5 to 6 days per weeks So can this bike keep up with me Iam 6.1 for over 100kg
Its a really cool bike but for the amount of use yours will be getting, it may be worth condisering something with less moving parts. The simpler the bike the longer it should last? 👍
It is a wonderful frame and motor. You can ride it stock just fine but I recommend upgrades for basically everything. Top upgrade are the seat, 58 teeth chain ring, handle bar, suspension, pedals, battery.
Could you give some feedback on the customer service for this company, in the event of any such maintenance issues. I've heard a lot of negative feedback in regards to this.
To be honest the few issues that have arisen with bikes have been sorted extremely quickly. We diagnose the issue, they send the parts and we repair so no problems this end!😀
This looks quite similar to the Fiido M21 albeit with the 750w instead of 500w motor, this one does look better but also £700-£1400 more expensive. I wonder if it's worth the extra?
It's not worth the extra because it's not even street legal in the UK. You're much better off with the Ado A20F which looks almost the same as this bike but has a 500W motor restricted to 250W, so it's legal to ride in the UK. It's also less than half the price of this.
No...........the rider in the video is just under 6foot and 190 lb and its OK. The rear suspension bottoms out though so we have to be replaced for a better system and the saddle might need to be replaced for the height 👍
Yes. You can get a super high front used for mountain bikes and put up the seat. I recommend also an upgraded rear suspension. The frame and motor can definitely take your height and weight no issue.
People payed for there bikes and have waited over a 12-18 months to get there bikes, months to hear back on any warranty concerns horrible battery charger port that shorts out on the frame, the list goes on with horror stories!!! This company could of been amazing but I'd absolutely say do your homework on this brand ebike!!!!
It’s wonderful p,but for that money I could buy and Engwi or fiido and have 2 extra batteries. Utter madness and they are all probably made under the same roof….frame and wheel wise
@o3ru What parts do you actually need? You better visit "The Battery Doctor" channel and see what a piece of junk their batteries and chargers are. The charger is ridiculously unsafe, the BMS inside the battery is practically non working, and the 18650 cells are either low grade or even complete fake.
@@noodles169 It depends, but you are right - it's usually business to business. However some sellers may agree on low quantity or samples. Most of the time before large scale purchase a sample for evaluation is needed. Some sellers can even give a sample at discount rate - if the buyer looks promising...
I have the engwe ep 2, so good I bought a second one over 2000 miles doing great. I was thinking about selling them both buying a 1000w mate x but I'm very apprehensive after a quick search about the mate company.
It is a shame that there is not a restricted 250w mode (Mate on the side might become a "nick me" flag)... I know currently you can get away with riding these on the roads and currently most do, but one day there will be a clamp down (escooters will be first I am guessing) - it is a lot of money down the drain for a confiscation... Private land? Not sure that many would or could stick to that and the market for this type of product for genuine private land only use must be small.
The product is amazing apart from the easy to exchange accesories like the suspensions, pedals and seat. The company doesn't keep up. I asked for a battery in June and they asked me to ask them again on October haha. I bought one online for 1/3 of what they asked for and it took 3 weeks from china.
160mm rotor is gravel sizes it’s small way to weak for an e bike Combined with mechanical breakers it’s total bullshit This pice of garbage is 100percent looks Weak frame Weak brakes Uncommon tire size
Did you watch it? It has hydraulic brakes for a start and 20 x 4 inch tyres which are common for fat bikes. Also its a folding bike built for practicality, we just mess around with it offroad etc to see what it can do. Its built for light urban use. It might not be the best bike in the world but its great fun, come down and try it out, you might like it 👍
@@RIDEGLIDE 1:10 comes with mechanical or hydraulic brakes! 20x4 inch is not a common size for fatbikes (they are usually 26 or 27.5 by 4 to 5 inch) Build for light urban use (and even than its sketchy (look at the frame weight and design(its weak AF)) i will never try something like that because its cheap Bullshit. Designed to be used for a short time and than thrown away. There is no value in this bike its all looks and from an engineering standpoint i would like to vomit PS the worst thing about the bike is that its dangerous promoting rugged looks with very weak design can result in serious accidents
@@harrie205 The fat bikes we offer all have 20 x 4 inner tubes so no issues there. These bikes are not built for high performance, they are for cruising about, like we said, we take them off-road a bit for fun and to see if they are capable 👍
@@harrie205 You clealry don't know what you're talikng about here. Many of us Mate X owners have done many thousands of miles on these bikes ,both onroad (inc rough roads with loads of pot holes) and offroad on all terrain, and nobody is reporting any issues with weak frames. My Mate X has now done almost 8000 miles since I started riding it in Sept 2020 and I've had no issues at all with it. And that's taking it over all terrain, theough forest trails, many bumpy country roads etc. Perhaps your ignorant comments are because you are trying to sell a rival make ? (and hence you are trying to smear this product) 👀👀👀 Just to add, I've done almost 8000 miles on mine and the only thing I've serviced on it is to buy a few sets of brake pads (at approx £10 per set)

I have seen tons of ebike review videos. As far as camera work goes , this has to be the best camera angles by far
Thank you 😀
Why you riding with the seat so low? Its more efficient when you leg has a slight bend so would make those lower levels of assist even easier.
Just came to make a comment and you saved me the time
