Should you buy the new Engwe Engine Pro 2.0 or is it too many compromises? Given the problems with the original Engwe Engine Pro do the risks outweigh the upgrades?
I was at checkout and still looking at YT reviews about the Engine Pro 2.0 when I saw your channel. They even offered me a saving of £280! Now I’ve put this on hold for a few months at least. But with new UK regulations under review, I think it’s wise to wait awhile. Thanks for the info buddy. You’ve certainly opened my eyes right now.
My engwe engine pro is faster than this it hits 29 mph throttle only, I am so disappointed that this only hits 20 mph throttle only! How can they male a more powerful bike slower?
Thanks for the honest info. I was thinking of getting one but now I’ll hold off and wait to see what people say after 6 months is use! Back to the drawing board for a decent electric bike 🤷🏻♂️
Had my Engwe X a few days and i am very happy with it, I am aware it is so very easy to turn the speed limiter off taking the speed to over 30mph this is obviously a very strong temptation but along with the double in performance it puts everything else under increased stress more so if you ride it like a off roader . It is a bike that retails for less than £1000 and certainly is no lightweight { 32kg } kerbside but this helps when travelling over 15 mph [ downhill } on public roads feeling very stable and smooth
Well. This is a completely different bike. Doesn’t have the same torque running through it. The reason why Engwe doesn’t actually use a 250w motor in the X is because if it was actually 250w they’d lose sales. Anyway, thank you for your view of the X, let me know how it goes when you e put a 1000 miles on it. 👍🏻
i have an engwe engine pro , have around 500miles on it and had the following issues: peddel threading wasn't galvenised & fell out from the crank arm ( both needed replacing , rear fender fell off while going 25mph ( realised quickly but was scarey) , a few screws in the suspension have tried to escape after a daily commute, and the rear inner tube punctured.. this bike has needed constant attention to be kept in working order
I have an Engwe Pro 2. Hard tail bought it used (45 miles only) I’ve covered around 1000 miles on it ..tarmac and occasional sports fields use …up to this point it’s been almost faultless other than power cutting out now and again…that turned out to be very slight movement in the battery housing…a small rubber patch placed under the battery in front of the ignition has sorted that ( hopefully).. I’m thinking mine must be early bike.. are there any tell tale signs to look out for re: the frame snapping.ive checked mine thoroughly..it looks as good as the day I bought it .only off roading is golf course and bridal or tow path use ( no stump jumping 😆).
The black Engine Pro in the video was mine … looked fine up until the frame decided it wanted to be in two parts. Stress fractures are pretty much undetectable by the human eye so unless you have some very expensive aerospace kit at home you’re in the same boat as the rest of us I’m afraid.
I agree . . had one for two years . . lots of fun and feels sturdy. Did have to loctite the bolts through the rear suspension plate but apart from that not a problem.
Your video is the first video i found that talks about a weak frame and other major problems with Engwe bikes. On the other hand, i find lots of videos about the bike that are actually positive reviews. If the bike is so bad, how come these videos are not poppin up when searching for Engwe engine pro? Just a tought...
I will get mine in a few days, I am 80kg and not planning on going over 30 kmph. I bought it because it's cheap, so I expect little of it, just to have some fun. But I would not buy this bike to go top speed. Before I had a unimoke for 4 years I trusted it with my life, never had 1 tiny problem in 4 years, but it got stolen :(
Ah, I'm just about to buy an engwe X, I've been looking all over for all different types. and only just settled on that. I don't know what other brands to even look at. Keeping in mind. I'm looking to get mine, for very local ~2 mile trips. Im
Vivo en Francia. En noviembre 2023 compré una engwe X; y también un manillar bmx. La pagué 1000 euros (engwe me hizo descuento); y aquí el gobierno francés me ayudó con 400 euros (porque soy inválido) Hasta ahora le realicé 1000 kilómetros. La uso diariamente, por campo y por ruta. No la maltrato y le verifico los tornillos regularmente. La bicicleta me gusta. Por 600 euros es lo mejor que pude tener. Es mi primera bicicleta eléctrica. La próxima, tal vez compraré otra cosa; pero por ahora, es lo mejor para mí. Uno tiene que reflexionar y pensar en qué es lo que necesita...
If you want good warranty you need to buy a big brand like trek, giant, haibike, specialized ect. There warrantys are great. With service centers all over the UK. They are expensive but they have got your back when it fails.
This bike makes no sense. My engwe engine pro is faster than this it hits 29 mph throttle only, I am so disappointed that this only hits 20 mph throttle only! How can they male a more powerful bike slower?
@ModProjects4306 but the engwe engine pro model before is 750w at 1000w max, so it's less powerful than the engine pro 2, but the older model is faster, and so many other companies making their e bikes faster and faster why would they adopt a business plan to make it slower, just seems odd.

Not tempted by the 2.0 then? 😂

Hello, how activate the Throttle please ?

They’re paid reviews by “influencers”. This explains how it works.

It’s also the way I SEO my videos.
I've just got the ep2 pro not the upgrade and not been on it yet ,hope its going be ok
Different frame buddy. Far less hassle with that model.

Hi do you have trouble getting the key in?

Another great informational video 👍

§ the customer service of this company is worse than bad absolutely terrible

@@mariovalentino4941 to conform to EU law. It’s not a motorbike.

@@mariovalentino4941 Engwe are now doing the opposite. I’ve removed the throttle from my 2.0.
@ModProjects4306 why though? To make it legal? But it still goes over 15.5 mph so still technically illegal.
