- CHEAP but Awesome Fat Tire EBIKE - Engwe EP 2 Pro 1st Impressions
I got my hands on an Engwe EP 2 Pro Ebike and it's great. Similar to the ADO a20F but with an extra 250 watts. Will I be able to tell the difference?
This could be the best value ebike with decent performance in 2022.

If you're concerned about the legal aspects then the ENGWE MOTOR X is pretty much identical but has been made road legal for EU and has a 250W motor. (From the videos I've watched I think it's fair to say that the motor peaks above 250W). It has a Certificate of Conformity on the back of the seat tube which means it's legal to use in EU.
The bike comes with a throttle but it is non-functional on delivery. Enabling/disabling the throttle takes about 10 seconds and requires no fiddling with wires or anything like that, there's videos showing how it's done and it's really easy. I haven't ridden one but the reviews I've seen (all in Spanish) have all been positive.
Really cool you got this channel running. Really didn't know you were so techy. Found this as I'm actually looking for its big brother the Engine Pro 750W
Yeah I love this stuff. Engine pro will be great if this bike is anything to go by 👍
Thank you for sharing comparison review, you doing great job!
Thanks very much 😊
I always say best to regard pedal assist more like 'electronic gears' instead of having mechanical derailleurs - helps increase focus/understanding.
Since I plan to ride on streets, I ordered a car backup camera to mount on rear fender/frame with a 4.3 monitor on handlebar instead of mirrors. It may require a separate battery supply if I can't find a way to get 12volts from the bike battery. But we shall see. I am an electronic tech.
I'm sure you'll figure it out. Sounds great. I considered doing it with a cheap action cam and a phone once.
Olá... qual a velocidade máxima você conseguiu utilizando apenas o acelerador ??? Obrigado
Hahahahaha did you pull that protection bar back out so the derailleur moves freely yet? It bends in shipping a lot. 👊💀 Good vid n love that bike!
Yeah i had to pull that out 👍
Would you recommend this bike for casual riding? Im looking for a bike with around this budget, but this one looks very popular. I wonder where i can bring down the weight? THis kind of review a lot of people searching for, how to bring weight down to about 25% and what cost involved. Could be very demanding review
Good question. Well i do really like the bike mainly because it's got decent power. Obvious things are taking off the rack and mudguards/fenders. Then maybe get a saddle with shorter stork. Swap handlebars for lighter bmx style. Maybe you could get lighter wheels.
Just realised this is the uk, I'm frantically looking at this bike and the others such as the yamee and polarna. Any advise on this I'm liking the yamee because it has the recharge technology. Every bike i find seems to be usa the only one i can find uk factory is this brand. What uk models and uk factory sites are out there
Can't speak for other brands but I'm very impressed with this one.
Wanting an electric bike for work. Can you lock this model up like other bikes and would you take the battery out or leave it when locking it up?
You can take the battery out when you lock it up or leave it in. The key goes directly into the battery so it's locked in there when locked.
Ive been looking at the EP-2 Pro
But im unsure if its legal in the uk, ive seen some things say that it has a limiter built in to 15.x mph and its limited to 250w and other sites have no mention of the limiter.
It's technically illegal. You can limit the speed to 15.5mph and disable the throttle. I'm sure you'd be fine. Only ebike enthusiast officers would know and surely they wouldn't charge you with anything.
Does this have any sort of walk mode please? I cant walk far so looking for something I can go out with the family for a walk.
It's not a function I use but I'm pretty sure it does if you hold one of the buttons on the computer down.
Hi, great video. I've bought one myself now, and have the same problem with the gears not moving. Can you let me know how you fixed them please? I'm pretty new to bikes 😀
There were 2 issues with mine. 1. The cable needed tightening. That's the cable that sticks out near the cogs on the back wheel. Just loosen the screw the cable goes through, then tighten it up as you pull it with pliers. Second thing is the metal thing that guards the cogs was actually stopping the metal gear pulley from moving so I had to move it and bend it a little.
@@e-VRC Thanks for the quick reply. I'll have a look later and see if I can fix it 👍
@@alexlee3671 no worries. If you're struggling feel free to ask again. There's decent videos on youtube if you search 'how to adjust mountain bike gears' again let me know if you don't find a good one I can either find one or send a video through instagram or something.
@@e-VRC I've fixed it. As you said it was the metal guard that was the problem. Thanks again for your help, and it saved me a trip to Halfords! 🙂
@@alexlee3671 Nice one, glad you sorted it!
Nothing can touch the Ado A20f once upgraded to 48 volt. I traded my 36 volt in and paid the small difference for the 48 volt and its the best upgrade ever. Ado should have released such a heavy bike with 48 volt and their sales would have gone through the roof. Oh and remember all versions of this bike are 500 watts motor once unlocked but the EU version will come in as a nominal 250 watts to keep inline with EU law but this bike is really 500 watts when unlocked.
Did you literally just put a 48v battery into the ado? Or change the controller?
There is no 48volts Ado A20f, so. I stoped texting here bullshit... The only thing what you can do, is to try change the battery. But, you have to change the controler aswell.
Just as well were no in eu anymore i got engwe ep-2 pro 750w 🏴🦄🤪
@@andriuskirklys2487 no you don’t have to change the controller. It’s as easy as putting in the 48v battery which you can buy online and the controller that comes with the ADO has a voltage setting that you can switch from 36 to 48v.
@@e-VRC Id be interested in seeing you try a 48v battery in the A20f as I have been thinking about getting one
Great video which do you prefer Engwe pro 2 or Ado a20F ?
Thanks! Good question. They're basically the same apart from the extra 250w. I do like the extra power but I'm taking them both out today to compare directly.
@@e-VRC OK great I thought as much I have a lankeleisi xt750plus and bought a BEISTE 750w 20" model which I think is also another similar model I get about 23.5 mph out of it . The 1000w lankeleisi 26mph throttle only
@@northldnscooters9571 nice, i like the look of those bikes. It seems 500w is good for about 22, 750 25 and 1000 27. With my weight at least.
Hi which do you prefer? Engwe or Ado af20+?
I want to buy this ebike and I'm in the UK.
Is the speed limited to 25km/h (which is approx. 15 mph)? Do I need to unlock it to attain the full speed 40 km/h (approx. 25 mph) as claimed by their website?
My only concern is the full speed thing. So I need to make sure it can attain 40 km/h before paying.
I didn't need to unlock it. Went 25mph out the box. If you do though it won't be difficult.
@@e-VRC Do you live in UK? My concern is that some ebike company will ship a locked version to UK customers, with speed limited to 15mph only.
@@raytsang250 yeah, UK. I just clicked on my link to see where it takes me... If you buy the version that says 750w and says in the description it goes 40km/h I'm sure that's what you'll get and not a 25 km/h 250w version since they are sold too as a different option.
Still end up ghost peddling even if the gears were working for the clip, I am thinking of changing the set up on my bike so it does not ghost peddle as much. When it comes to ebikes. I always look out the NM Toque of the motor. Anything from 65nm and upwards I look at. Anything less I wouldn’t touch.
Good idea re: NM.... yeah I considered not bothering fixing the gears as it didn't make much difference but I just couldn't have them sitting there broken when they shouldn't be.
@@e-VRC you will want them gears of your bike ever stops working out on a ride or the battery drains and you haveto peddle like a normal bike home.
Hi do you no if you can unlock the bike or is already unlocked thanks.
You can up the power and torque in the settings.
Still waiting to know what the one big problem is ? ,?
I think that title is just clickbait
The gears didn't work. Little click baity maybe but gears not working is a big issue for people who don't want to mess around with their bikes.
How much of the battery did it use on that 20 min test drive?
@@e-VRC can you more explain? I do not understand
@@Rorolap i noticed that when i tried to change gear, nothing happened. The gears were jammed.
Hi, I was wondering if you tried / filmed when having someone on your mounted back seat on the ep2 pro? Would love to see how the second person is installed, if it's legit possible for small rides, if it's powerful enough to do so etc!
Thanks!
Hey there. I've only had my 6y/o son on it. What size people are you hoping to carry?
@@e-VRC wifey, 1m68 54 kgs..!
@@jeanroederer I'll try to test it out for you with someone heavier. I do know that it's recommended for people smaller than my son though.
@@e-VRC thanks a lot! Yeah I'm probably too optimistic here..
They do a good saving deal for 2x bikes, this carrier is not up to anything bigger than a small bag or extra battery strapped with bungees. lol
I saw a video earlier for someone , if the motor is bigger then 250w you need insurance isn't true?
What country?
@@e-VRC in uk i want to buy one as well and saw earlier a video is not legal to ride a Electric Bike on the road if the motor is bigger then 250w and i said to ask you i didn't have any problem ?
@@marianrozsa1746 sorry I didn't get round to replying again. Probably too late now. But if you ride sensibly then ebikes don't get targetted by police like escooters might. But yes the law for uk is 250w, 15.5mph, no throttle
HI there, has the display got a USB port on it?
No
Hi there can I ask where you purchased the back rear seat holder
The seat was from amazon. The rack that it's on came with the bike.
@@e-VRC thanks for your response have you the Amazon link to the seat and was it easy to put on?
@@shady8989 very easy to put on. Just some screws. The link is below but last time I checked it was sold out. However I'm sure most of them are pretty similar to each other.
Do any of you know why an e bike pro Upgraded engwe 2 can say that it runs 30 kmh when it only runs 10 km per hour
Should go a lot faster than 30 too. You've definitely increased the assist level to level 5?
does it have cruise control?
Yes, every time you hold the throttle - if activated - for about 8 seconds. Comes off instantly, if you touch the throttle, or a brake. (Activate, also deactivate throttle, by turning off then holding throttle wide open plus holding a brake, turn on, wait for 'a few' flashes of the speed display.)
How did you fix the gears problem
Just had to pull out the guard. They sometimes get bent during shipping
How did u fix the gear problem
The gear guard thing was stopping it from moving so I had to bend it away.
why the legs are not stretching when pedaling?
My legs? I guess my sadlle wasn't that high.
I like your helmet can you tell me where to get it.
Hey, it's a mountain bike downhill helmet from aliexpress: ￡22.28 30%OFF | RACEWORK Mountain Bike Cross-country Downhill Helmet DH AM FR Full Face Helmet Extreme Sports Safety Helmet

Bike isn't designed to be pedalled on speed mode 5 except up a steep hill or up to the speed. If you want to get a long range you want to pedal and have it on speed mode 2 or 3 and will achieve 60km plus round trips easy. The bike is bloody heavy but rides well. The mechanical breaks are not great but will get you stopped. They do a new version now which will take a 16amp battery 20% more range and be interesting if that goes faster😄
new version has a new controller also?
I can say the 16ah battery you mention isn't much different, another 15-20km but no extra speed
@@fraserthomson5766 yeah its just a larger power reserve, you would either need to alter the current controller or get a new controller to draw more power from the battery.
I have the SE version of the L20 and I can tell you the range of this e bike is terrible down as low as 6 miles range. Pointless e bike.
In Jeremy Clarksons saying, if u want more Power, you can change in the settings, I've gone 26mph with no pedal 🤭
Hi, would you say that this bike is better or worse than a fatbike like Bezio 1500W/ Gogobest 1000W/ Lankeleisi 1000w 26inch tyres
I haven't tried those I'm afraid. More power is always good though. I would say that 26 inch wheels makes foldable bikes even more cumbersome but if you're not bothered about folding then it doesn't matter. Also 20 inch foldable bikes are still pretty big.
You said you like that the speedo has "points", as in 24.5 mph or 24.6 mph.
Yessss! That's it!! Thanks haha 😂😂
@@e-VRC No problem. It was kind of funny when I heard it.
How much do you weight?
15.5 stone
What kind of shifter is that? I have never that but it sure does look fun lol
Shimano sis. SL-TX50 i think.
@@e-VRC good to know
How to fix the gears mine dont work
Pull out the metal derailleur guard
Olá... qual é o nome desta cidade bonita ??? Qual é o país ??? Muito lindo este lugar, fiquei curioso ...😊😊😊
Just place my order for this bike with the extra battery. I have been trying to find a long term review. Not much out there that I can find.
I've had it a while now and it's still going strong
Wow. I never expected it to be as cheap as the ado a20f. The only thing stopping me is that it's not legal in the UK.
Never had a problem. I’ve had this bike for over 6 months and rode past numerous police officers. Just gotta be wary and not go full throttle when they’re walking by and you’ll be fine. They’re more concerned with taking away e-scooters.
@@arbin_fits5996 the little daleks
I think the ado can be had cheaper but yeah it's still pretty cheap. I'm not really concerned with ebikes, as said below it's scooters that are being targeted and they stick out unlike more powerful bikes that generally all look the same.
@@arbin_fits5996
Exactly. I've had a FIIDO M1 pro for 7 months and same thing. It can fly at 25mph plus. But I ghost pedal and slow to sub 20mph if I see any old bill.
Don't worry about that bro. Unless you are going like a maniac jumping over cars and shiit, you will never get bothered by the police. Just wear a helmet, and look responsible
I was deciding between this and the Fiido M1 PRO. I went with the M1 pro which is AWESOME. But this is just as good. I like it in the grey finish.
This does make more noise than the M1 pro though at least in your recording. Bikes as big as these really need that 48v 12.8ah battery. And you can tell with the torque and hill climbing. I liked the look of the ADO A20F. But the 36v 10.4AH battery isn't enough for a bike of its size. That's where ADO went wrong. If it could be converted to 48v. Its still the most awesome looking fat tyre ebike out there.
I keep getting asked at traffic lights by guys on mopeds. What am I riding on. They get confused when they see the fat tyres.
I think you're right, these fat tyre bikes look powerful so they deserve as much power as possible. 250w doesn't make any sense at all to me. I'm sure the ado could be converted and yeah it does look awesome. I quite like the engwe in orange 😊
I bought the Ado A20f and upgraded the battery to 48 volt and nothing can touch it, ive had 32 mph from it since the upgrade and it will happily cruise at 26 mph on the flat.
The a20f can be upgraded to 48 volt, i upgraded mine.
@@freedom4life123 I have a different fat tyre bike with 36v 16ah battery, I have increased the speed to 32 mph but It won't do more than 17mph with or without throttle but the motor doesn't cut off, do you think a bigger battery will help and is it as simple as putting in bigger battery or there is more to it. Thanks
@@e-VRC my first Ebike was a 250 watt Hyper eride but let me tell you that she is still my favorite and I own the same ep2 pro as you. Its so quiet and the pick up is great on the hyper 26 mountain bike. It's like riding I regular small mountain bike without ever getting tired .it's just over 40 pounds so it's light and quick.
I've been doing research on this bike since ive owned it, and it seems to me the 750w spec is just a 500w motor with a peak power of 750w because it has a 18amp controller which maxes out at 864w. Tested the fiido m1 pro with a 500w motor and that gives you the same torque (80nm) as the engwe
Makes sense. Also a 750w motor should be able to peak higher and if it did I'm sure they'd tell us.
Correct the Engwe EP2 pro is no more powerful than the FIIDO M1 pro.
@@fender1000100 the M1 pro has much more grunt than the engwe. They've definitely undervalued the motor power on the M1 pro. It's more like a 1000watt motor
You're right a bbs02 750 watt mid drive would peak at 1300 watts.
Uphill?! What uphill? 1 degree?
This video is well over a year old i have no idea what you're talking about 😂😂
One coming this week,hope it's a decent job!
Any feedback so far?
@@imdaniz6071 yeah it's a good bike overall! I've sold a few and everybody is happy with them!
Forks feel a bit cheap and clunky,apart from that everything seems good, I've put 300 miles on mine
I love Engwe Engine Pro bike but my i-ERS system has never worked. It is what is supposed to charge your battery when coasting downhill in 0 or 1 peddle assist with no throttle. Turns out they sold me one that has the wrong motor and likely wrong controller by accident? I would think they would have tested it before shipping it. They have really poor customer service. They reply quickly but make you send videos and pictures and still can't see the difference or under stand that MPH is faster than KPH. The finally after almost two months agreed to send me a new motor if the controller is compatible, I have to send them a picture of the label on it. If it is not compatible, they will not send the replacement motor and want me to settle for a partial refund. That sucks, why can't they send a controller and a motor if they are both defective? Yes they work but are defective by definition in that they lack the advertised "Your Range Booster" function on their website.
Ouch! A partial refund for a faulty bike is like buying a uncooked boil egg
So whats the big problem?
I thought you said, "cleats".
I should be able to work it out 😂
I see you’re in the UK. Cops give you any trouble with this bike? given its WAY over all the legal limits lol i feel like police are so underfunded and ebikes are so relatively new that they dont know enough or care enough
No trouble so far. I'd agree with what you said. But also because 250w ebikes can look very similar.
Hopefully one day in the future we can all laugh about how stupid our leaders used to be and now we can use a throttle
I was talking about this today. Pedal assist is basically throttle with legs i don't see the difference when it comes to legality.
Ive got the EP-2 Pro now but for some reason the throttle only goes up to 6mp/h. I'm still figuring it out but pedal assist gets me to 30mp/h easily since i disabled speed limit.
Anyone any idea?
Not sure why it only works to 6mph. Maybe try the throttle enable process? With it turned off, hold throttle and right brake. Turn it on and keep holding for 10 seconds. Then try it.
@@e-VRC yea, i can turn it off and on but it is at creeping slow speeds with the throttle. might have a seperate tourque setting for the throttle, still investigating the issue
thanks for the reply tho m8
"it isn't very powerful" rides with a supermotar helmet.
😂😂😂 nah it's just a downhill mountain bike helmet. A simple push bike helmet with a chin guard. However, the things that could hit me are powerful so nothing wrong with having a beefy helmet 👍
Tighten up the gear cable
👍
I have the SE version of the L20 and I can tell you the range of this e bike is terrible down as low as 6 miles range. Pointless e bike.
How much is everyone paying for theirs? I paid £680
Where?
@@gamerss7797 direct from the factory
listen to those crappy nylon gears
Ummmmm how can e scooters illegal and e bike not
There’s limits to ebikes in the UK. This bike is over all those limits and technically would need to be registered as a motorbike!!! UK restrictions are i think 250w motor and a 15.5mph max pedal assist.
Long story short, unless registered, taxed and insured, this bike technically isn’t legal
@@ProfessionalKonigSimp Fully legal, just turn the power off and pedal it (or pretend your pedalling) !!!!!!!!!
