Looks really nice but I always think it's a bit dangerous to look faster than it is in case cars don't slow down, drivers know a cycle is going around 8-15mph typically.
Reminds me of my first moped, in 1976; a Honda SS50. It counted as a moped because there was a convoluted linkage that allowed you pedal it at walking pace. I remember taking the pedals off (which turned it into a motorcycle) and passing my driving test on it after reaching 17.
Great little bikes
Another feature unique to most electric bikes is being able to rest both feet on the deck
I'm a motorcyclist and a massive advocate for getting more people especially young people onto motorcycles in order to cut traffic. This would be a great way to get people into that as a young teenager. The only thing I fear with this is that no insurance etc with no license or training accidents and law suits could cause problems.
What else could you expect?
Another tool for the ride by thief.
Anything is better than 4 wheels
@@steve00alt70 Not if you live in rural area it isn't.
@@Hunterfinn625 you can still use a motorized one
Thanks for the tour. Good review and video.
These look incredibly well designed.
Been on one of these and sold these at Electric England because they are THAT good. Amazing product, amazing price and service. White glove delivery and training. 100% recommended.
Just wish these kind of mopeds focused more on the cycling aspect.
Better gearing cause pedalling will boost range, and a cycling posture that isn't awkward
it's basically an electric toy bike, that's why
@@JohnnyMotel99An electric 'toy' bike that gives you access to the whole of a large city like london for for the cost of 1 charge (35p for 40-50miles) No insurance, no tax, no MOT, no parking costs.
If anything a car is more of a toy in a city like london because it is just terrible at actually doing what you need to do. It's an expensive hobby owning a car in London. Expensive to buy, fuel & maintain, insurance, tax, MOT, parking charges, congestion charges, ULEZ charges etc.
Ebikes and pedal bikes are the perfect fit for purpose solution for cities.
@@Jamessansomeyes an e-bike with decent geometry for efficient pedalling is a fantastic way to get around any big city, I have one myself.
Well done. this is the only review that shows what I need to know - how much pedalling is involved. I am concerned at the potential limited control in tight situationswhere you need to stop and go at very low speed. I am used to twist and throttle ebikes.
I am so impressed. I have a e-assist bike which I love. But I would consider one of these for my next commuter
Very cool mate. Great bit of kit.
I came here having seen just the intro because I'm sick of people calling scooters: mopeds!
Imagine my surprise when I saw the pedalling. It IS a genuine moped!!! 😂
Mine arrived 30 th June in matt acid yellow I'm so happy with second day for travelling to and from work yesterday was a bit nervous today much much better
Well presented vid.Thanks.
Need some more Washington in these videos. He's great!
Looks amazing is there an option to stop it raining and being cold ?❤😂
First. Love this! A great concept in urban e-mobility
Great video! 👋
Pleasant review, generally informative and not too much "street" in the presentation. But the reviewer is a bit tall for the bike as he looks a bit of a turnip with his knees going all sideways enough to knock someone over. Nice idea for a bike, but needs to sort out the pedal/seat ratio. Good price. Hope it gets a good chunk of the market. Wouldnt like to drag it up to a flat though.
I saw one of these in Watford today and I wondered why there was no number plate.
What's the average use range for city and urban?
Great video
Very nice bike with a good range and comfortable, what more can one want....Good review.......
These are the best I've seen for that money, by a long shot.
perfect machine
This thing is brilliant
im awaiting delivery of mine within the next few weeks ordered from ALLEN'S E BIKES in Leighton buzzard im a 62 and a half year old female ive ridden mamy electric bikes then a trike i cannot wait for delivery its acid yellow with the matching top box ,im having to make do with a second hand manual bike at present which in the recent heat wave has been a struggle to and from work
It’s ok riding on the flat around London, how much assistance does it give you on hills that we have in the rest of the country?
Great video. Amazing host. Nobody repeatedly claiming how tall they are.. 🙄
Where can I try one before buying?
Great vid! Saw some of these at the EV Rally London to Brighton last year. Thanks for explaining the legalities 👮♂️⚡🚔
Looks ok and a decent price. However, the posture for pedalling doesn't look good at all because the seat is far too low, and legs are stuck out at a weird angle due to the width of the platform.
Interesting. I had a legal, roadworthy, insured 49cc moped at the age of 14. Mine was a Raleigh Wisp and looked a bit like this one. Why was I legally allowed to ride on the road at 14, well that was the way it was in Guernsey back in the 1960’s. Anyway I think this little bike is a great idea. As for a licence or having insurance, well I think you should have third party insurance and loss insurance. Maybe sorting a licence would be too complex but some sort of cycle proficiency should be offered.
That's fascinating Robert because I too had a wisp in 1973 when I was still at school at the age of 14 and went to St Peter Port secondary 😅 Dave
For me it was 1967. That Wisp may not have turned heads and it certainly wasn’t fast but it was motorised and it was a great start to motorcycling.
Beats a Honda 50!!
Great review. What about getting out of the city? Would be good to see you trying the bike out in an area with hills and a mix of surfaces.
For the cost it’s amazing
Quite a few in Aberdeen doing deliveries
I would love one of this electric bikes but could not afford one
What is the name of that model?and where to buy?
Absolutely the future
So how long do you predict the 'No insurance & no road tax' will apply. I predict 2-3 years max.
Do electroheads ship to other Continent like Africa?
In my country if electric vehicle has less than 1000W nominal power and less than 25 kmh top speed it can be riden at any age. Max width is 80 cm but you can even have four wheels and cabin around you. You can also use cycling paths and no insurance.
I love it!
Eskuta have a new model; SX-800, twiat and go throttle, top speed 29mph. Hope to see it reviewed. The SX-250 look and seem ok, but I'm not seeing many around.
No gears and seating position for me would be too low for pedalling. It would probably be OK for short person.
Don't need gears, and you're not really pedalling it. The pedal is linked to the back wheel basically only for legal reasons. Once you start pedalling, the motor does all the work for you, so the pedal is more of a throttle than to move the bike. When you're going top speed, the wheel is going faster than what it's geared for, so it's basically freewheeling, like pedalling in 1st gear when going down a hill. The pedal is just there to tell the motor to work. Also there's also a lot less leverage in the pedals as they're quite short, so your legs also don't do much movement, so the low riding position really isn't a problem.
Is it a legal requirement to leave the rear yellow plaque on ?
Security system ?
Great - but the boring white bits obviously need some radical paint/spray work..
Paul G
Is there a cycle to college deal?
Bin man at @1:13 did a u turn just to check out the bike LOL :D
I really like it.
thats amazing no tax or insurance, and your getting a lot of bike for your dollar
Eu tenho essa bike e amooooo. I have this bike and I looooove it.
Olá tudo bem !? Eu moro em Londres e gostaria de saber dela … onde comprou por favor !? Obrigada
Oi Caroline, eu comprei direto da fabrica.
anyone tried this out in hilly brighton&hove? wondering if it could handle riding there 🤔
If it had 20 inch fat wheels would be perfect you can put 90 80 16 moped tires then and never worry about puncture
I'd do a John Ogroats to Lands End challenge on it but it'd probably need a lot of batteries 😂🤣🤣
It will end in tears
I just didn’t get it, it’s just an e-bike right? Then he said you can have a pillion, I see the advantage over an e-bike, just though.
Imagine that in Belgium you can have it with 4 times more powerful motor (1000W and 2000W peak power), if you submit it for checking. That's the absolute top you can legally get from ebike in Europe. That would be similar to Super Soco CU mini, but without registration and plates.
Who cares what they do in the EU dictatorship
Mr. Washington is a heck of spokesman/salesman! Neat bike, but I'm guessing it still has the 25km/h UK limit?
If it went downhill the speed will be well over 25
You can easily de-restrict it
@@manoz6194how?
@@Immortal__ disconnect a wire, there are guides you can look up
This Bike With Have Twist Is Well ?
I'm sorry if I missed it, but what's the USP for this thing? Why would I want it over something like a PhatFour? My fatbike is set up to carry both my kids and still has a stylish basket up front... All while decidedly not looking like a delivery driver 🤷🏻
It is about 4 to £600 cheaper for a start.
@@michaelprobert4014 that's a start indeed. Is there anything else though?
@@TinyShnutz There are no gears , you simply pedal to 'remind' the motor to power you . This is my kind of gearing!
Love this channel. Great bike too.
What's the brov's accent; Staines Massif ?
Bro I LOVE THIS EMOPED BIGTIME I WISH THAT I WOULD OWN ONE EVERYTHING ELSE CAN NOT COMPARE TO YOUR EMOPEDS
A modern-day FS1E, brilliant!
You mean it will do 60 on the speedo, downhill, in a cloud of 2stroke oil?
@@leathleyg5995 I really don't think so .
Obviously never had a fizzy then
Price?
this actually looks decent
TORQUE MONSTER 🤟🤠💯🇬🇧🙏
I was only browsing through the channel yesterday looking for a review for this, only to find you upload it now 😂😂
Oh I love it
I just wish and pray that I can have it now .
I am not going to ask for the cost because I can't afford it . I only wish and pray I can
I was originally never going to consider a moped because i thought they didn't have enough power or range or fast enough mph but ive just discovered Brisk EV with proposed 333KM range and 50mph
That kind of range would interest me too.
Is it just me that the audio is out of sync playing on my fire stick?
I'd happily sell my current e-bike with it's uncomfortable seat for one of these! I would like to see a proper range test on it, preferably in a rural setting rather than a city commute. Any chance?
I had the Segway c80 e moped and now an e bike, an e bike it's much better bc u can actually pedal when u need to lol
I think if you're spending 2k on a moped just get a regular one like a Honda pcx used
I mean the best thing to do is fit a decent saddle and suspension seat post. Save your money and you get to ride not only with electric but also decent gears too.
It goes well uphill. I saw a video of a guy driving it on village roads uphill on some British island.
@@ZlatnoPeroTV Thanks for your reply. Is that video on TH-cam?
Defo the best video I've seen on this channel though if there was more erectile dysfunction in Brixton there would be less children confused and wondering who to send a card to on father's Day !
The last bike you rode looks pretty good, could be a nice city bike.
But it actually does look pretty good, perhaps they could offer options such a bigger version with more power and range.
But it is one to look out for.
Unfortunately if there is more power it would not be an ebike any more and need all the trimmings of a moped
More power would mean it is a moped and would require a driving licence insurance etc etc. This thing is just exploiting a loop-hole in the law by pretending to be a pedal assisted e-bike.
@@nickwinn7812 It's not actually exploiting anything, it actually is an Ebike that looks like a moped.
That doesn't mean more power isn't needed, it just means the laws governing Ebikes and potentially Escooters are out dated and do not meet the needs of the people, that is why they are flouted by just about every single Ebike manufacturer.
No ebike would sell if their bikes only went 15.5 mph, so most have geared systems that allow the rider to go faster.
However this system is unfair on people who are not physically able and thus suffer being stuck when they ride an ebike or potentially escooter.
The law should be 20 mph for ebikes and escooters before they need to be registered, over 20 mph and it then becomes a super ebike which means it should be registered but no demand for insurance, over 29 mph you should have to get insurance.
There needs to be an increase in power for the larger rider as trying to get up a hill on a 250 watts bike is difficult with a larger rider.
Looks like a moped but my conventional ebike has the same range but looking like a moped it will not get a great reception when mixing with pedestrians who seem more tolerant of conventional looking bike riders who are trying to stay out of the way of cars an lorries. For a delivery bike it may make sense.
That looks great - but I imagine not all plod / traffic wardens will be up on what’s legal and what isn’t, so you’ll spend half your time trying to explain the rules to them, or getting them to come out and take the wheel clamp off, or trying to work out where it’s been incorrectly impounded! Plus where I live - it’d be nicked in minutes.
Major problem with this is that the top speed of 15.5mph is a bit of a joke and with 250w it won't get you up any decent size hills at decent speed. So for close £2000 seems like not the best deal.
It will do 26mph with a little know how. 😏
You'd think you'd be right when it comes to hills. You'd think 😉
This isn't a moped. Any chance of showing it going uphill?
I see lots more of our kids going the way of the yam fizzzz of my day..😢
I'm impressed that you can legally breathe in the UK, let alone ride this moped.
so, no direkt paddling as far as I understand. only thing driving you is the 250W motor up to 25kmph. It's ok for a flat city with slow traffic, but you can't go faster than 25kmph regardless how fast you paddle and if there is a hill you can't help it to go over, so you probably won't go over a 7-8% slope.
it looks cool and is probably ideal for tourists in a city, but I don't see the appeal for anyone who really wants something to get from A to B fast.
Also be prepared to get into a lot of police controls, since it just looks like a scooter without registration. you'd probably get around on an 750W e-bike with throttle with less hassle.
Cool
Ebike regulations are type approval if under 36 volt. This needs to be registered.
The E3 law for pedal assist as ruined many disabled using these bikes, they need just throttle mode. ,
It's a pity it's only 250 Watts.
It'd be better if it had a 2000 watt motor that's factory limited to 15 mph, so it can climb hills.
Funny you say that 😂
How much pedal effort do you actually need ?
None, the pedals have no resistance!
But you do have to make them turn.
So what's the Ah on this (50 to 60 mile means nothing) i realise it's 48v 1 kw, but what's the Amps per Hour. Also what's the top speed (one assumes 15mph) but is it open to modding (for private land use obviously)
20 amp hours
20ah. Realistic range is about 20-30 miles on normal undulating roads.
@@jrewillis Yep i'm aware of the milage per Amp hour (i'm a modded scooter rider😉) i don't why i asked really as i just went to the website after and it said 20Ah...summat to talk about i guess.🤫
@@SeeDaRipper... yeah I ride a pure air pro and also my own ebike. This bike just isn't worth the money IMO. It just a really bulky ebike - overstated range claims and massive weight to hulk around.
@@jrewillis Cool, i ride a modded M365 pro 2 (500w motor, extra 48v battery, RITA, 10" tires, full Monorim suspension, tweaked firmware) This bike isn't up my alley really, but i do enjoy having a gander at new electric vehicles.
It kinda plays with your head because it looks like a petrol scooter, and you just feel you're going to keep getting stopped by the police who will think it is one (I guess if you weren't wearing a helmet, you would be stopped on every block by the police). The saddle looks like it needs to be higher because there seems to be a chance of rubbing your ears with the inside of your knees. Still, I like it and the price is crazy-cheap. These things are definitely the future.
It may be legal in France for those aged 14 and over, but not in the UK.
Must be below 36volt and limited to 16.4 mph.
Police will confiscate and crush it if you are caught going faster - and the fines may be higher than the cost of the scooter.
Injure someone while riding it and you’ll be going to prison.
This machine is defiantly the way forward nice looking good mileage, I'm assuming 16 miles an hour, and the fact it can carry a passenger is really good
The mileage depends on where you live. I live in the countryside and I only get round about 25 miles per 7 hour charge.
realisticly, you will not get 40-50 miles anyway. because that's only measured in ideal conditions. their is differant types of factors to take acount.
[rider weight]
[Weather conditions]
[Elevation]
& probably much more
So it's a defiant bike eh? The correct word is definitely.
Defiantly 😂
Dont forget to wear a full face helmet and armour. Official statistics show that the lower face takes the brunt of the force.
Loving the black cargo trousers.
Love you but basically springtime
Have people been mistakenly pulled over and hassled by cops with these?
Are you able to drive it without peddling??
Ironically you were speaking to a guy from Ireland and asked him if he’d like to take one to Ireland… well Ireland is different, and the e-bike law is vague at best, unlike the UK it’s not as simple as 250w pedal assist.. whilst many people, including myself, do ride electric bike.. they are technically not legal as of early 2023 yet in Ireland although a law is hopefully catching up to make them legal soon.
So, does Ireland not follow EU rules on Bikes then?
I think you're getting confused between the rules on ebikes vs the rules on scooters. Ireland follows the EU rules on ebikes. eScooters and where you're allowed use them is, like in many places, currently a grey area.
You are correct. E-bike user here I’m Kildare.
@@zigzagsox correct, Ireland does not technically follow EU e-bike rules, though in practice you’d have to be extremely unlucky to have your e-bike confiscated it’s possible. It’s not the only area of road law where Ireland does not follow EU law.. for example an Irish person cannot drive a car registered in some other part of EU in Ireland for more than a few days without paying a large fee, and whilst EU says you can buy car insurance from any EU insurer, in Ireland you may only use motor insurance from a insurance company that has an Irish office. To be fair, Ireland is not the only EU state to have such rules.
@@neilfromcork it would be logical to assume that I’m confusing scooters and e-bikes, but I am not. To be clear, myself and many thousands of others do routinely ride e-bikes with no interference from the Guarda (Ireland police) at all, however e-bikes are not technically legal. Scooters are kind of the same, except that you are in some areas likely to have a scooter confiscated, you are not likely to have your e-bike confiscated.
Very cool! I'm in the US and this is the future.
These E Scoots , need faster charger and be capable of charging from an E car public charging point , then it would be a lot more useful .
250W is what's wrong with UK and EU in general... Bike looks great! But needs 750W for cruisability
