    At 15 miles per hour, when my e-bike flipped over, I broke my arm and fractured my skull. Now, after almost a month off work, I have a titanium plate in my arm and still a lot of pain every day. I was lucky to get out of it with my eyesight intact and no broken vertebrae or bleeding on the brain. I don't blame the bike for this and am itching to get out to ride again, but I won't be allowed to until August.
    That was at 15 miles per hour. Imagine how much worse all of that probably would have been if I'd been going faster. I love my e-bikes and scooters and wouldn't be without them but, please, before going on about how much better they'd be if they went faster - maybe even making people want to mod their machines - think about how badly that extra speed can make things go. Speed isn't everything and at faster speeds, they are just not safe.

      Sorry about your accident. I had a motorcycle accident back in 2015, got run over by a distracted driver who was totally at fault for running a stop sign. I had my safety gear on(helmet, gloves, jacket, chaps, boots) but I still have to have neck Micro-fracture surgery(12 screws in my neck.) as well as a plate on my left ankle and some internal surgeries. I recently ordered a DYU D3F e-bike that I plan on riding slowly on sidewalks and against traffic when I have to get on the roadway, which hopefully won't be often(I live in a small town in South Texas. Whataburger is 1.5 miles away...:)). I think that with all the distracted drivers out there, older folks like me(I'll be 65 in July, God willing) are better off staying off of roadways, using an e-bike that is not fast, easy to get on/off of, that also gives us the ability to pedal, and has a good range. I'm not riding the DYU until my skating helmet that has a front and rear lights arrives. I'm looking forward to getting back on 2 wheels(I have a couple of recumbent adult tricycles that I ride on bike paths.).

      I came off downhill at 34mph when my front wheel folded . If i was not in full winter gear with two hats on i wouldn't be posting this . I knew i had worn the front wheel past its brake wear grooves but i kept putting it off ...I was head to toe bruised and had a knee bursa for months . New wheel now! but i do worry about these 30..40mph ebikes everywhere . I did speak to a policeman who did say they were illegal but unless you were a dick on one there was very little if any enforcement. I have a 250w road legal switch but in UK the throttle makes it illegal anyway yet there a million times better than pedal assist.

      yep couldn't agree with you more. its the speed that is the bit people in general are bothered about. 15mph is more than reasonable if we are going to keep giving these things the same rights as pushbikes get. or letting school kids use them. the motor power is irrelevant.

    You can only have a throttle on a bike bought in 2016 or later if it assists the rider without pedalling at a maximum of 6km/h (3.7 mph). These "twist and go" throttles are designed to help people who have difficulty starting due to injury or disability

    This looks amazing. I'm guessing it's more of a commuter bike than a tourer of any description. I currently have a standard electric bike which I use around town going to and from my part time work three or four times a week. I love the bike, but don't always feel especially safe. I've given up trying to navigate roundabouts on it, as I might as well have a target on my back. The fact that this looks a bit more substantial and has indicators might improve my confidence a little. The big disappointment I have with my electric is that I get nowhere even close to the range it claims to have. Have you yet done the in depth review of this one? If not can you (or any other kind reader) tell me roughly how far (town use) this would go on a full charge? The price, by the way, seemed pretty good to me!

    Enjoyed the review. The peddling style looks a bit unnatural to me and the lack lustre power going up, what appears to be; a gentle hill climb would concern me. I purchased a relatively low cost (£400) 2nd hand Giant ebike and it’s had no problems getting up much steeper hills, even at the lowest power mode! The Eskuta does look comfortable and I like the suspension and other moped related gear and comfort.👍

    • @e-VRC
      @e-VRC  ปีที่แล้ว

      Glad you enjoyed it. The hill in this video is about 12% and 750w ebikes and 800w scooters have failed to get up it on throttle only. When i did it on the eskuta I was pressing the green button rather than pedalling and I'd forgotten it only works under 6kph. I'll do it again soon with the pedals to compare. But still impressed it got up when others didn't.

    • @e-VRC
      @e-VRC  ปีที่แล้ว

      @HDsharp about 100kgs. 12 degrees is actually pretty steep. But this hill isn't even 12 degrees it's 12% which is around 7 degrees. But in the real world it's a tough hill. No one ever cycles up it. Check out my second to last video about escooters and hill climbing. Ebikes do get up easy with pedalling but they really struggle without human help.

    • @paulhanson6008
      @paulhanson6008 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@e-VRC My Giant Hybrid Escape 2 bike is pretty heavy by modern standards! The sync drive rear wheel hub motor would “easily” enable me to ride up a hill of that incline, and even steeper if required. Although you are correct in saying the rider needs to pedal, from experience; the effort required is minimal, even in the lowest power mode (Eco). My bike is that good, I could climb a steep hill with no “run up”, even when the bike starts off in a high gear. If I drop down to say 2nd gear and let the bike slow down, as soon as I “gently” pedal, the motor kicks in and enables me to climb most hills. If I chose to select “sport” mode, the bike could accelerate up most hills enabling me to shift up to one of the highest gears (say 5 or 6). My understanding is the motor works on torque, not cadence.

      They should definitely be off the footpath. I try to stick to the road unless cars are seeming particularly crazy. These things go 15.5 mph which is slower than a 15 y/o rides a pushbike. Accidents could definitely happen though just like they could with pushbikes. I'd be happy to have insurance though if we could then ride ebikes with fewer restrictions. As long as it's the person that's insured not the bike. It would make it very hard to be an ebike reviewer otherwise.

    E-bike laws are not “mental”. They are intended to keep E-bike capabilities close to those of bicycles. Bicycles, including E-bikes, can be ridden on the road without type approval for the vehicle or license and insurance for the rider. If you want to go faster buy a type approved vehicle, get a license to ride it and pay for insurance. Then you can have your safe handling, adequately braked fast E-bike and not be a liability to other road users and pedestrians.

I’m trying to find how to connect up a hand throttle as this would make life much easier and safe. Do you or anybody put out a proper video showing how to make the wiring connections. I’m 75 years old and don’t give a toss what the police might say.. one spotty copper questioned my number plate (OLD GIT).

    Really enjoy my more bargain basement step through style ebike, using it to tow the trailer to work.
    250w is about 40w over my ftp...... so together we have 500w ... mega power, I would possibly win a tour de france time trial with that power....
    It's 250w and 36v.... puny but in the real world of getting about town with shopping it's top marks...
    Disclaimer, I am a racing cyclist as well as the old guy on an ebike... but the average Joe untrained might be able to sustain 150w for an hour, 400w combined is elite level cyclist. If that doesn't change day to day transport nothing will. Ebikes are a game changer.
    Should be 25mph with a licence and insurance.
    Oh yeah please don't cane it on the pavement even if shared use, 3rd party injuries will hammer your finances without insurance ....

      14 year olds are meant to ride on the road. All bikes should be on the road at all times unless ridden by a rider 10 years or younger. Of course people don't all stick to that mainly because if you're going slow on a pavement no one ever gets into trouble for it.

    I read up about the 250 watt thing. According to an expert in these things it's a misnomer. All that means is that the manufacturer has tested it by running it for a certain time and it doesn't overheat. So in theory you could have a 1000 watt motor and call it a 250 watt. There are commercial cargo cycles that carry massive amounts of weight and an ordinary 250 watt motor wouldn't pull the weight so that's how they get around it. What you need is torque to get up hills. And a bigger battery/voltage for distance. For the price that's not bad (

    ***FOOTPATHS***
    Although you shouldn't ride pushbikes the pavement people don't mind too much. I've ridden ebikes briefly on pavements in videos before and no one has picked me up on it. Don't forget this is not actually a moped.
    Pushbikes are not meant to be on the pavement I agree but we all know riders use them when the road is dangerous and people accept it. I think the reason it's getting picked up a lot in this video is because people are either forgetting or not realising that this is NOT a moped or motorcycle. It is an ebike and it's actually slower than the average ebike too AND has better brakes.
    I would NEVER ride a moped on a pavement! Despite that...
    I'm sorry for riding on the footpaths. I do address it in the video that I shouldn't be on them and that I go really slow when visibility is bad.
    I hope you can see that most of the time I'm on the roads. I only go onto footpaths when it's dangerous on the road for example when cars decide to drive right at me on narrow roads. In this video it was when cars were parked along a narrow road meaning cars wishing to overtake were driving way too close. Cars aren't meant to overtake if I'm going over 10 but they will anyway and dangerously too.
    I decided in this case I didn't want to die and I was confident that I wouldn't be hurting anyone else.
    I'll never ride fast on a foot path. I felt 15.5mph was ok in this case as the paths were so wide and visibility was good. 15.5 mph isn't fast but i agree that if I did hit a child at that speed it would hurt. Again, visibility was good and the brakes on the Eskuta are amazing.
    Also the high field of view that action cameras have make it seem a LOT faster on video than it is in real life. Trust me I would have seen any kid running on to the path...
    HOWEVER... I understand the rules are that I shouldn't be on the path so sorry about that.
