Thanks Sandy. It's going to be fun getting out and about on it this summer. I've been enjoying your cycle, e-bike and motorcycling videos for a good few years now. All the best to you.
Hello. I've had this bike for some time, it's configured a little differently ;) it's actually LO26 II (second generation), i.e. a color display, a 750 W engine and, surprisingly, spoke wheels with a 2.35-wide tire. Everything you say about this bike, I confirm, it is an off-road beast. My favorite areas on which I love to ride are forest roads and off-road trails. Despite its weight, the bike is very agile in the field, climbing hills is very easy thanks to the power steering. With my driving style, I travel from 150 km to 200 km on one battery, which is a long range that can only be achieved when I choose the size of the sprocket to suit the speed and appropriate support. It's not me who has to support the engine, the engine has to help me ;) The landscape outside the city in your country is almost identical to mine ;) Greetings from Poland.
Thank you for the comment. I love my samebike. Mines a 500w but it’s been amazing. I ride it everywhere. To work and for fun around town. It’s effortless to ride. ATB.

@@robtherover I gave up the car (an English car, by the way ;)) for a bike a long time ago ;) I go to work by bike, of course, it's close, only 9 km, I don't know what it will be like in winter, because winters in Poland can be frosty. How did you deal with the squeaky rear suspension? ;) I assume that, like me, I listen to them from time to time ;)
@ the rear suspension used to squeak in the beginning but it’s stopped now. I’ve got new tyres and handle bar stem since I bought the bike.

Nice video. Bought the same one. But the 750w version. As you. I love it. I'm 78. I joined a singles club for Campers last yr. As my wife passed away 2yrs ago. We had a caravan on a seasonal pitch for 12yrs in the peak district. But no longer enjoyed it on my own. So bought a van & converted to Campervan. Which I love. Nearly everyone in the club has an ebike. So I needed to get one. I noticed you didn't talk at all about the throttle. Don't you use it.
I rarely use the throttle. Sometimes on the way to work in the evening through an industrial estate I might open up with it. But I love my samebike. It’s been great using it through the summer.

The only thing I’ve changed so far is the tyres. I do need to sort the brakes out soon but I’m loving it. I ride it practically every day to work. Done nearly 1700 miles so far and I love it.
Hi Rob I've just had my first ride out today on lo26ii done 14 mile battery still on 48v BUT I've gotta change that saddle my arse is in tatters after that😢 so it's a new saddle for me. 🤣 the bike it's self is amazing.
Great video Rob, where did you buy your bike from ? Im in Andover and no where around here stocks them let alone some where I can test ride one before I buy ? What is customer service like when things go wrong ? Thanks Clive
Cheers mate. Bought it off Amazon. I haven’t had any problems with it but if you check out ‘bubbles way’ on TH-cam he had a problem with his Samebike. Apparently they were pretty good at replacing the defective part.
Hi there friend been watching ur vids I'm 51yrs now and I've got the same ebike as you just mine don't fold up? And like you I love my ebike to mines white with alloy 26inch wheels I love it? I'm going to subscribe to ur channel keep up with ur riding good for ur Wellbeing and ur health all the best shaun🎉🎉🎉
I got the downgraded model,The Samebike LO26,Still thinking to upgrade to the samebike LO26 ii,Handy if one of the E bike ever go wrong,Had enough problems with the LO26,Been through enough repairs,Ive had it since February 2022,Its has more repairs done to it,Still under some more repairs still need doing to it,All wear and tear when it goes on the roads,Also gets used a lot as well
I did a video where I rode around my city and also Langston harbour on peddle assist 3, taking it nice and easy. Roughly 16 miles on each trip. Did it easy.
I use the bike to ride to and from work, a total of roughly 8 miles in pedal assist 5. It’s roughly between 1.5 and 2 amps. When I leave for work fully charged on 54V’s, when I get home it’s on 48V’s. And that’s with the light on for the return journey.
@@robtherover You should replace the controller, it should be a minimum of 5A, then the bike has more power assistance. My bike, the 500W version, showed 2A from the very beginning, and I didn't realize that it should be more.
@@kriswolf8just checked it again and it’s reading 5amps not 2. Needed glasses on to see it properly. I watched bubbles way when he changed his converter and he was getting 17amps. Do you know if that’s what it should be?
@@robtherover I also watched a video of replacing the converter on this channel, but I don't understand why it shows as much as 17 A. Maybe his converter has different parameters, his version of the bike is 750 W. In my case, after replacing the converter, it also shows 5A.
Looks like a really practical folding Ebike that Rob and a nice ride too:)

What top speed you do get on pure electric mode on 750w unlocked guys ?
Mine is a 500w and I can get 20mph. I am 17stone so that might make a difference.
