This looks like an absolute blast. Definitely going to pick one up. I’m already deep into Ego’s ecosystem and have had them honor a warranty replacement on a blower and a weed eater one of which was almost 5 years old with zero headache. It should be mentioned that I live on a mountain on a large piece of property and I’m really rough on landscape equipment, so it’s probably my fault. They’ve proven to have great customer service though and I’d have no problem dropping the money on a toy like this if it carries the same great warranty as the rest of their products.
Saw one of these pop up on Reddit a couple of weeks ago, and immediately sent it to a former co-worker, who is a lifetime rider, and has recently invested in an array of ego equipment. Neither of us knew it existed. Pretty sure he's going to add one to his collection. I inherited a house in the woods, and a low-powered sweeper wouldn't cut the mustard. I got their blower, and I'm absolutely tickled with it. Until you drop one of those batteries on your foot. By far the heaviest modular battery pack I've ever owned. Putting three of those on that bike, has got to add like 80 lb LOL
OUCH!! Yes, they are definitely heavy. EGO does a great job with their lawn and landscape tools. In fact, they're probably the reason that battery power is an option in OPE now. Their blowers, string trimmers, and mowers paved the way for the rest of the industry. This minibike is a great little ride and it's so quiet. Thanks for watching.
This is why things like the Tesla Semi and the Roadster are complete failures. The size of the batteries needed to do what they're claiming weigh more than the vehicles they're put in. This seems like a decent tradeoff, you get 20 miles on two batteries with a third battery "just in case".
if its got decent range in eco mode that would make for a nice hunting/scouting bike being so quiet. I could see myself getting out to the duck pond or the food plot really nicely.
With your rifle and gear how much does weight affect the range? How about water is it water proof? How much does driving through mud drain the battery over a normal dirt path? To meany questions would love to see it put to the test
Wow, the Chevette I was embarrassed to drive in high school only had 13" rims. Also this thing looks very cool - but please, Ego, give me a golf chart. I love the idea of cruising around my gated community using the battery from my leaf blower.
Here for an update. Just put 700 miles on mine and it's running like a champ. Not an exaggeration when I say I get a compliment every time I ride it. One thing I'd like in the future is a power inverter where the spare battery compartment is and a 3 battery buying option. I picked up the 400w inverter and found a 10ah battery at Goodwill for $40😀. I use it to power my heated blanket while camping and love it. Last thing I'd like to see is a street legal one. My city is cool with me riding it on the streets but it'd be nice to take it to the beach, 400 miles from home.
That would be great to go shopping I'm 80 miles there & 80 miles back so YESSSSS I'm getting 1 I have batteries that's what I love I can use the same batteries for everything 😊
Great review. I would have liked to hear what the bike sounded like from the camera position as you were driving around, what was the rattle? Also, some more driving tests, maybe up an incline, a braking test, wide shots of the bike driving and maneuvering. I wish the bike was a bit taller. I am tempted but a bike with a $900 gas tank is hard to swallow when it will probably only last 2-5 years.
I have an ego lawnmower 6 years old and same battery still going strong I convert my 24 V scooter with the seat and put the ego battery on it gets 18 miles on 1 battery charge. I did put a step down converter in it.and I can carry 3 batteries with me
The shop I work at is an Ego dealer. Looks like I'm lucky enough to get employee discount pricing. 😃👍 But it also means I may have to work on them too.
We had a 2005 Honda crf 50f 50cc dirt bike. It was awesome. But I’ve never seen a mini bike from ego. Awesome. I do have 2 of their tools and love them.
For such a high quality looking piece of equipment, I really was expecting for it to be more money. I have a 750W ebike that costs as much as this does without its batteries, but it isn't nearly as well engineered as this Ego mini bike seems to be. I'd have so much fun with this thing.
@@jonvon2044 Build it and get back to us. A good mountain bike is a grand, but I'm sure you could piece something together from walmart with an aliexpress motor that'll last you the summer.
I'm with jonvon2044 , my ct200u cost $600 new when I got it almost 6years ago. Been treated like its invincible and I've only put on a new chain, new clutch, and tubed the back tire so I'm in another $60/70. Just went to the state forest and back, 48mi round trip on about 2/3 tank of gas
Got one today. Lowe's is moving out summer equipment and these are going with them. I got the 1,999.00 for 1,925.00 total, 10% discount, and love it. You can tell it's made to last. Over built for my cruising needs. Ask for discount, you might get it.
I have 9 of their batteries and weigh 165 lbs. The bike was made for me! That said, the $2K price with the 2 7.5 Amp batteries and the dual charger is the better deal than the $1,300 bare bike. This came just in time to blow a chunk of my tax return.
I work at race track festivals getting spectators out of the way of paddock traffic. I've been doing it with an electric longboard and rode my BMX during it's 4 hour charge, but now with 11 batteries, I can escort those race cars, tweeting a whistle for the entire time the track is hot. And if you haven't caught the genius of this on your own, the way I'm doing it is a sound financial decision. Spending $2K of tax return on a $2K tax write off.
I do landscaping on a large property. This would be so perfect for what I do. Plus the property is hilly, so this mini bike would be perfect. I actually think I'm gonna buy one, use it strictly for work. 🎉😊. I think it would be a perfect fit❕
Saw one at the local ACE hardware, pretty impressive. I do wish the range was closer to 35 miles or so. Should be a good commuter, good base for accessories such as bags, windshield or luggage rack.
0:20 Funny laugh. There's a storage compartment for a 3rd battery. Seems to me like for a few dollars they could have put wires and a connector there, so you'd run 3 batteries in parallel. Very cute bike!
It's actually a good idea to leave it that way. Your kid goes out on it kills the batteries then sticks in the 3rd and has to ride it back. all 3 hooked up you'd just run it out and be stuck. My dirt bikes as a kid I've run them out loads would flick the reserve on and go home to fill up.
This is innovative and ergonomic It just makes sense and works great Happy to see a company that’s pushing boundaries and kicking ass at the same time in this shit economy!
I have the two stage snowblower and the big leaf blower. If I run out of power in the snowblower, the single small leaf blower battery will handle some snow so I’d think it could run the bike for a ways in eco mode. I think it’s 5Ah versus the two 7.5Ah.
Nice review. I am glad to see the battery compartments are lockable. It'd be nice if they were more secure with a stronger metal cover. no turn signals?
That’s a lot of things for a bike that only goes 30MPH. Looks great for a first bike for practice. Wish I’d used something like this before I road 125cc and electric 7K watt bikes
Considering the price of regular e bikes $2k really isn’t that bad, now I wonder if you use two stronger batteries and add another wheel motor to the front how fast it would go
This is the first toy electric bike I've actually thought would be hilarious to drive around the neighborhood. I absolutely know my neighbors would give me hell for it, but what are they going to say don't have fun with your string trimmer batteries.
It only uses the a single battery. The batteries are in parallel. Voltage does not change when more batteries are added but amperage raises. Hence needing batteries that add up to 10 AH for sport mode.
It runs on one battery but can run on two with the 2nd battery the 3rd battery is use a spare battery in case your battery starts to run low so you don't get stranded 🔋👍
$2000 with batteries? That's honestly not bad. Sure, you could get a gas bike from your neighbor for $150, but I was expecting upwards of 4-5k just because it's EGO. For another $500, maybe they could make it a bit bigger and use three batteries. I do wonder, however, can you charge the batteries on the bike or do you have to take them out every time?
The price isn't horrible, but seems a little silly when you consider I can get one of their own riding lawnmowers that actually performs a job for pretty much the same price. But if you're in the EGO environment and already have all their useful tools that you need... this probably is a fun little toy.
Things that you missed is I don't think you told us how many watts the motor is and you also did not tell us if it can take the 10 amp hour batteries or if it is limited to only being able to have the biggest battery of 7 and 1/2 amp hours.
Do you think it could push a small car 20 feet at a time for 200 feet? Random question I know! We drag race and use a old golf cart in the staging lanes. We use an aluminum pole as a push rod.
Tell ego we need a utility cart with a solid sized truck bed for around the ol homestead. Woupd also be nice if said cart would have some nice clips or addons to attatch our other ego products like leaf blower and trimmer to tag along with us!!!!
Solid wheels or pneumatic tires? What's the top speeds in the normal and eco modes? Will it still do 28 mph after the total available amp hour drops below 10?
They have pneumatic knobby tires that are great for off road riding, but make a slight humming noise on paved roads. It goes 15mph in eco-mode, 20mph in normal mode and 25 to 30mph in sport mode, depending on how much you weigh. With two 7.5 amp hour batteries, it will remain in sport mode until they're both completely drained. With one 7.5 amp hour battery, it will only go 15mph and sport mode can't be activated. The range is around 20 miles. I ordered two 12 amp hour batteries for it, so those figures could all change. The figures l listed apply when using the two 7.5 amp hour batteries provided with the bike. If you have other EGO tools and a charger, it's actually a better idea to buy the bike bare tool and buy two 12 amp hour batteries separately. Hope this helps
If you add a budget Amazon license plate bracket that comes off the rear axle then you can probably get it registered as a moped in most states. That sport mode hits the moped requirements of not exceeding 30mph and having a 20 mile range really ain't bad saying as a Honda Navi doubles in price after dealership fees. I'd definitely add road tires for that though
@TheDwightMamba huh? The extra battery was a comment, not a question. I watched the video I know it won't run on sport. The comment was "the reason they allow for that 3rd battery is because when the other 2 die you still need to get back home". No one's going to lug around the massive charger ego gives you. ( I own the mower) Other electric bikes chargers are not massive
Mid-Augusr price 2024, $1299 at Lowes no batteries included. I thought they were $2000 + tax, plus shipping, maybe. Maybe in a few years, im pedaling my electric bike for now.
do you think the ego mini would pull a light weight trailer and a quartered out deer maybe 110 # 's total . The trailer would be like the ones they sell for the hunting e bikes that cost 4 to 6 grand, just a thought. i would be using 10 or 12amp batteries. I am a ego user . it would be used on ohio farm land fairly level . thanks for any relies , my 185#
@@Shoptoolreviews, so it will run in sports mode with only 1x 10ah or 12ah battery? Its a little ambiguous if it needs 10ah or more of battery SIZE, or 10ah or more of REMAINING CHARGE. If your theory is correct that it runs on 2x batteries in parallel when in sports mode, it means it’s rather sophisticated or else will give you a notification that your two packs are not equalized and cant be placed in parallel. That 3rd battery slot, basically your reserve tank, is strange because if you drained 2x 7.5ah packs in sports mode and then replaced one dead pack with the fresh reserve pack, obviously the circuit won’t allow them to go into parallel right away. So does this situation disable sports mode or does the ebike start to slowly transfer energy from the fully charged pack into the dead pack so that it can eventually connect them in parallel? Seems like this bike with 3x 12ah packs would be great.
@@TristenHernandez techtronic industries, the company that owns Milwaukee Ryobi and Ridgid... Actually they don't own ridgid but they are contracted to make the power tools
That’s a good question, assuming it can do regen braking you will probably loose brake pressure but the electric motor may help to stop, someone has to have an answer to this question
I've got the batteries but I think I'll stick with my gas mini bikes. Would be cool to take out of the truck anywhere and go for a quick stealthy ride though. Hmmm... Thanks for info.
dont be its trash... my company bought their stuff to use for our daily maintenance work to cut down on gas cost here and there, as well as every other brand... Milwaukee has been the best thing going
Interesting, but I would really be concerned about how exposed that orange power line is. Even on gravel roads, rocks are going to be flying up chipping away, not to mention actual dirt. How does it handle water, mud, snow and the moisture?
Actually two grand is not that bad for a quality product AND two new batteries included (and I assume the charger as well, though not shown in the video). I wish I had a large piece of property to drive this thing around on. Looks like fun! Segway makes an electric go-cart which is around that same price.
Would this make a good present for a 10 year old boy? He had one of those cheap bikes ($300) and now wondering if this would be age appropriate for him
It definitely looks like a cute toy. I paid about the same for my RoadRunner Pro which does 50 mph. That said I'd still get this Ego with no battery if it was maybe $700 since I already have Ego batteries. Put around with kids.
Im 6'3 240 and I can still ride it. It's a bit small, but it's super fun to ride! It tops out at 26mph with me on it, but that's with two 7.5 amp hour batteries. I ordered two 12 amp hour batteries, so Hopefully they'll make it a little faster. My Daughter weighs 140 and it goes 30mph with her on it.
Any word on if it will accept bigger batteries than the 7.5. Super curious if it will accept the 10 or even 12ah batteries? Looking at the battery compartment, it doesn’t look like there is room.
@@timbaker3755 thanks so much!! I’ve been looking all over for that info and couldn’t find it. I’ve yet to see any battery booger than 7.5 in there so that’s great news.

Same here. Just paved public roads for miles and miles.
I was on the flip on getting a ego zero turn mower but this just made me decide I'm getting it and the bike
If you add a budget Amazon license plate bracket that comes off the rear axle then you can probably get it registered as a moped in most states. That sport mode hits the moped requirements of not exceeding 30mph and having a 20 mile range really ain't bad saying as a Honda Navi doubles in price after dealership fees. I'd definitely add road tires for that though
i guess it allows for 1 battery because of the 3rd stored one emergency to get back home also whats the speed in eco and normal mode
It does, but won't run on Sport.
@TheDwightMamba huh? The extra battery was a comment, not a question. I watched the video I know it won't run on sport. The comment was "the reason they allow for that 3rd battery is because when the other 2 die you still need to get back home". No one's going to lug around the massive charger ego gives you. ( I own the mower)
Other electric bikes chargers are not massive
You started with I guess.
What about blankets?
The design of that looks good. Solid build
Mid-Augusr price 2024, $1299 at Lowes no batteries included. I thought they were $2000 + tax, plus shipping, maybe. Maybe in a few years, im pedaling my electric bike for now.
do you think the ego mini would pull a light weight trailer and a quartered out deer maybe 110 # 's total . The trailer would be like the ones they sell for the hunting e bikes that cost 4 to 6 grand, just a thought. i would be using 10 or 12amp batteries. I am a ego user . it would be used on ohio farm land fairly level . thanks for any relies , my 185#
Hmm, I wonder how this compares to the Tuttio Soleil01?
TIM IF YOU CAN SEE IF THE 10 or 12 AMP Battery CAN FIT
Yes, we put both the 10Ah and 12Ah batteries in with no problem.
@@Shoptoolreviews now I can Buy it Bare tool because I have a 10 and 12 amp batteries thanks TIM
@@Shoptoolreviews, so it will run in sports mode with only 1x 10ah or 12ah battery? Its a little ambiguous if it needs 10ah or more of battery SIZE, or 10ah or more of REMAINING CHARGE.
If your theory is correct that it runs on 2x batteries in parallel when in sports mode, it means it’s rather sophisticated or else will give you a notification that your two packs are not equalized and cant be placed in parallel.
That 3rd battery slot, basically your reserve tank, is strange because if you drained 2x 7.5ah packs in sports mode and then replaced one dead pack with the fresh reserve pack, obviously the circuit won’t allow them to go into parallel right away. So does this situation disable sports mode or does the ebike start to slowly transfer energy from the fully charged pack into the dead pack so that it can eventually connect them in parallel?
Seems like this bike with 3x 12ah packs would be great.
If it hasn't been mentioned yet, to get to sport mode, you have to take off the seat and flip the switch on in the rear area.
Can I drop in 2x 10 AH batteries or is it only built to hold the 7.5 AH ones?
So can we ride it on sidewalks or through the neighborhood? I would like ride to the park on the other side of my neighborhood.
IF ONLY lil homedepot hadnt of thrown its ENTIRE line into TTI.... Ego is laughing all the way to the bank
Ego doesn't care who sells their stuff... You should have said Lowe's is laughing all the way to the bank😂
TTI?
@@TristenHernandez techtronic industries, the company that owns Milwaukee Ryobi and Ridgid... Actually they don't own ridgid but they are contracted to make the power tools
So you think Ego selling a $2000 mini bike is going to hurt Home Depot, aren't you being a little silly?
China is the one laughing.
Does this model not have arrow lights, left and right?
What happens when you run out of blinker fluid in the containers on handle bars?
That’s a good question, assuming it can do regen braking you will probably loose brake pressure but the electric motor may help to stop, someone has to have an answer to this question
great channel and product review. the honda from is approximately $4,000.00
I didn’t know I needed one of these until I saw it. Great for camping and going to the shooting range.
How many watts is the motor?
can i put two 12amp batteries? or how about one 12amp and one 5amp?
Yes, the 12Ah battery will fit with no problem. You can run a 12 and a 5 or any other size EGO batteries. Thanks for watching.
when compared to the size of the honda grom are they about the same?
The Grom is bigger. This is closer to the Honda Monkey.
is it street legal? could i take it to the grocery store?
Sounds like rattling plastic sleds lol , what kinda suspension does this have ?
1300 not bad at all considering I paid 850 for the mower that puts me to work... I'm going to buy one to cool off after mowing
Love that idea lol joy ride after completing a job
So the 10a batteries from my 24” snowblower should give me a bit of extra range..
Yes, you will get more runtime with the 10Ah batteries from your snow blower. Thanks for watching.
How much hours do it take until lowbat in 3 battery?
How does this compare to the Greenworks Mini bike?
The batts run in parallel to provide the amps needed without over amping a single battery, which will ruin the battery.
Battery cable looks really close to the rear tire tread
I've got the batteries but I think I'll stick with my gas mini bikes. Would be cool to take out of the truck anywhere and go for a quick stealthy ride though. Hmmm... Thanks for info.
How tall are you? I’m 6’4 200, and I’m worried about being too tall.
I hate Ego!!!!! Because I don’t have any of their equipment!!!
Lol
Have About $5000 worth of the 56 VOLT OPE
I just went on that platform 😂😂
Exactly……should have bought their leaf blower and chainsaw
dont be its trash... my company bought their stuff to use for our daily maintenance work to cut down on gas cost here and there, as well as every other brand... Milwaukee has been the best thing going
Do the higher Ah batteries fit?
Interesting, but I would really be concerned about how exposed that orange power line is. Even on gravel roads, rocks are going to be flying up chipping away, not to mention actual dirt. How does it handle water, mud, snow and the moisture?
Actually two grand is not that bad for a quality product AND two new batteries included (and I assume the charger as well, though not shown in the video). I wish I had a large piece of property to drive this thing around on. Looks like fun! Segway makes an electric go-cart which is around that same price.
Would this make a good present for a 10 year old boy? He had one of those cheap bikes ($300) and now wondering if this would be age appropriate for him
It definitely looks like a cute toy. I paid about the same for my RoadRunner Pro which does 50 mph. That said I'd still get this Ego with no battery if it was maybe $700 since I already have Ego batteries. Put around with kids.
Each battery is 7.5 AH so you put 2x would be 15AH total right ?
I have several EGO products, and I would really like this. It looks very small however. Im 5’10 230…. Anybody have any thoughts?
Im 6'3 240 and I can still ride it. It's a bit small, but it's super fun to ride! It tops out at 26mph with me on it, but that's with two 7.5 amp hour batteries. I ordered two 12 amp hour batteries, so Hopefully they'll make it a little faster. My Daughter weighs 140 and it goes 30mph with her on it.
With a hub motor, does it have battery regeneration?
Any word on if it will accept bigger batteries than the 7.5. Super curious if it will accept the 10 or even 12ah batteries? Looking at the battery compartment, it doesn’t look like there is room.
It takes all batteries. The storage compartment also stores all battery sizes.
@@timbaker3755 thanks so much!! I’ve been looking all over for that info and couldn’t find it. I’ve yet to see any battery booger than 7.5 in there so that’s great news.
My pleasure! Glad I could help
There’s only a few ego products that actually won’t accept 10 and 12 ah batteries unusual considering all batteries fit all ego products
Where's the trimmer head attachment???
Whoops hit it too early meant to also ask can you upgrade to 12ah batteries on this bike ? I do see it on ego store for $599
Very cool! Wonder if EGO will make an ATV?
