Nice bike but sadly illegal in Victoria the nanny state. Fines can be over $2000. I don't think I'd want the authorities to see the footage on the roads.
Greetings Mark; This was good, in fact I do like the idea of a fold up E-bike....thinking of times when I am using my Subaru Outback and want to have a ride, this E-bike would be fun and yes I would wear my bike helmet....I am going to consider this one....David...Adelaide....etc....nice...
How do you Turn on the front light 💡?😂 I just picked mine up and it doesn’t come on 😢what button do you press? I like the bike but the handlebars are too narrow so it steers like a scooter 🛴 😂
About as good as you'll get for the $$. Not trying to poo poo ya bike Mark. But......in the scheme of things.....Ya get what ya pay for. I've worked on plenty of these things over the years. The drivetrain, cranks, gears, chain, cassette and chainrings etc. Are the cheapest of the cheap......for normal pedal bicycles. Now your putting and extra???3-4hp thru it !! It don't last long. And never shifted well anyway. A decent ebike, with decent components will set you back 5-10k and upward. It's fkn scary mate. Our record ebike sale was $23000 😱😱 AND....he spent more on it ! Yes, you read that right.
I understand the maximum power requirement for bicycles is 200w and speed 25kph in australia to be road legal. If you need more power and speed best to get a motorcycle(your choice of engine) and licence.
True. I believe in having all 3 units. Bicycle ebike and motorbike. All 3 have their limits on usage and each has its own benefits. Nothing wrong with all modes. Cheers
What's next? A test of free steak knives? Respectfully I'm not a fan of all the sponsorships and free stuff. It's polluting what you stand for and what you have spent a lot of effort creating. Just my opinion 😮
They aren't bad bikes, but you go full-on with it. The battery won't last long. If someone wants something for running to the shops or a short commute to work it's great.
You forgot to mention- Ebikes in NSW and vic are illegal to ride on public roads or paths if they are over 250w. Also illegal to have only throttle assist faster than 6kph.
Yep, they want them to be totally useless for actual transportation--because they don't even want us to stray from our allotted 15-20 minute zone on an eff-ing e-bike. Jesus--your average hair dryer is probably 2,000 W's; but a 251 W e-bike is a risk nanny will not allow us to take.
@Freki. lol 😂 probably not plus they would have to know the formula because a multi meter doesn’t calculate watts , only volts amps and ohms so watts = AxV 🤣👍🏾
I converted my old bike to electric to commute to work. Charge the battery at work and 30 mph on the bike trails. Plus, you can go anywhere a bike is allowed. They are great for their purpose. As battery tech improves, Ev's will become more useful.
Come on mate, you got a great channel, but it's becoming like Qvc, you'll be reviewing rowing machines and bloody towel robes next, get back to what you do best...😩😩
a MAX replacement at least got color right just piss poor choice bike , park it in middle street before burns down the house 🤣😂😅 No F@!$ing way i put any them electric vehicles in my car , shed or near house , all water you got will not put them out ask any fire fighter you just let them burn out they say even at wreckers they can combust after still so they submerse cars etc in tanks water so batteries submersed. youtube - chinese electric vehicle explosions
It’s actually a brilliant bike and has safety cutoffs with charging also it’s inside a steel frame so even it the battery did let go it’s not going to catch anything on fire
I thought you said you wouldn't by a KTM! 😂

And most other states as well. Exceeds the 250w limit
FYI the reason to lock the forks is so they don't compress when you're out of the seat climbing a big hill.

I was hoping on seeing you in Lycra Mark😢
This is upsetting 😂
Cheers Mark🍺
Great review. Found this by accident, but I soon recognised the scenery around K Flat.
Off to the proving ground please…
Absolutely m8
At 30 Kg it's too heavy to lift for my liking, nice looking bike though and in Vic it's a 250W max on public roads etc.
How do you Turn on the front light 💡?😂 I just picked mine up and it doesn’t come on 😢what button do you press? I like the bike but the handlebars are too narrow so it steers like a scooter 🛴 😂
How do you change the speed settings to allow it to reach 40kmph?
Folding bikes can be taken on trams and buses in vic, regular bikes cannot. . So thats good for commuting if the weather goes bad.
I've seen many people with there bicycles on rams and trains here in Melbourne's and around Victoria. They have dedicated spots for them
This one weighs 30Kg, most of them are about 25Kg. Too heavy for this old boy to lift into my truck.
Solid review Mark, noting your opinion (and mine) of electric vehicles. You're a legend.
E Bikes are really taking off in USA now days 👍😎 Front lockout for suspension will help you go a bit faster without the up and down movement.
I don’t think these are legal in NSW. Max 250 watt and 25 kph. Nice features though.
In NSW the Max is 500 watts and 25kph
was not a fair test, you didn't wear Lycra.
Can you ride the bike in the rain without damaging it ?
My buddy own an e bike and he loves it. His life is 5 miles from his home. It makes a lot of sense. Great review Mark
Maybe a USB port to charge the phone

You couldn’t be more wrong 😅🤦♂️
Looks good for urban commuting
Could a wheelie be done on one?

The whole idea of an ebike is so you can get your cardio in and makes long distance better as it requires less effort.

Blokes gotta eat..
@@MrFastFarmer yep. I get that. It was just my thoughts. Mark's done a great job with his channel. I'd hate to see it change too much.
Have a cry geez
@@petejames9366 just trying to help Pete. Love the channel but he needs to stay on track

Surely not road legal in Australia
Oh cool! I suggested that a couple months ago.. Thought you may have fun trying one and showing us.
You forgot to mention-

@Freki.with a multimeter quite simple really

Where can you buy this from Eastern suburbs side
How much you bought it .?
I gotta try one of these e-bikes,
Hi mark I'm not fan of ebikes ok if you deliver pizza that's all there good for
“That’s all there good for” 😅 open your mind buddy
Where did you purchase, do you have a contact number??
Website link in description!
Very impressed by the bell.
And it’s orange

So enjoyed your review.
Thanks Mate! 😀
😳
good use for it a pot hanger at the dump
a MAX replacement at least got color right just piss poor choice bike , park it in middle street before burns down the house 🤣😂😅
No F@!$ing way i put any them electric vehicles in my car , shed or near house , all water you got will not put them out ask any fire fighter you just let them burn out they say even at wreckers they can combust after still so they submerse cars etc in tanks water so batteries submersed.

@@petejames9366 🤣😂😅 just like cars & other EV's combust
As soon as I hear the music I start getting the giggles. 😂 you never fail to make me smile. ❤
Electric push irons make perfect sense, bur definitely not a good replacement for petrol bikes and cars .
I'd make a video of me selling the bike and pocketing the money , but that's just me. 🍔🧋
