I totally agree with you on multiple transpo options. $1,100 for the bike? She means well. But, she would be better off buying three or four - 22 speed drive train road bikes. No electricity being needed. One can probably stock up tire tubes and parts for about 10 years for 22 speed bikes. How does she charge the ebike? Batts can only be charged so many times before they fail. I guess the batt is garbage in two years because the ebike is coming with a cheaper made Chinese battery, lol.

Awesome bike, Lilly! It'd be a good idea if the company made a solar panel that you could mount on the rear rack to help charge the battery. Also, you can get an AC power inverter for your vehicle, so you could charge it with your car.
You’d need 4x12v panels wired the correct way, to make a 48v solar panel. A basic BMS to regulate spiking, and it will charge a 48v battery. Honestly? It would take you 2 whole days of sun just to charge your battery once. The size of the panels wired this way would be way too large. Still possible though for sure so long as you wanted to charge it this way from home ✅
Great Video! I have an electric bike. I store it in an EMP box setup when not in use. I went with a mid size non balloon tire with a “run flat” tube. (My reason is staying on logging roads which are closed and running on minor improved roads for quick escapes.). I have a larger capacity bike rated for 600 pounds load capacity and longer distance battery with a larger amp motor. Enjoy every one.
Cool bike Lilly! If it is EMP/CME protected definitely cool though if the power grid is disabled. I would invest in a non-electric mountain bike for the reliability unless you have your own wind turbines/solar panels that are also EMP/CME shielded as well as this E-bike.
camo warp can get very expensive. Try instead going to your hardware store get a couple cans of spry paint in flat camo colors and do your own paint job. While you're at it paint your weapons AR's to walking sticks what ever you have. It's good practice in doing things yourself. Making you that much more self sufficient. Don't rely on others when you can rely on yourself.

Just some tip: The "tempolimit" only applies on streets. You can drive as fast as you can handle the bike safely off road. That includes bike paths and other trails. So the 25 km/h mode is basically only for the street.
This is what 25 years of preparing looks like In Kentucky, USA...We can use ATV's , 4X4 trucks and dirt bikes for travel, no e-bike yet but it's on the bucket list. We have a small lake stocked full of fish. We have turkey, deer and other small game in abundance on the 45 acres of land . 30+ acres are forested and have a small creek that flows all year long on the land. We also grow a sizable portion of our vegetables and can them, We are multi skilled and have all the tools from gardening , fixing auto's or anything with a engine. We can do electrical work, carpentry work, we have climate controlled sheds stacked high with food, water and other necessities like meds, clothing, reloader equipment for bullets and enough solar power to overcome a grid shut down. We also have enough weapons' to protect the local community. We have bug out bags but will prefer to hold our ground but flexible enough to move to safe areas that have back up supplies. th-cam.com/video/U7FQ_1qIQCE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=aeTbTaGhBr3lUFuL
I am SO glad to see the things we old hippies were working on 50+ years ago, solar, electric vehicles etcetc, are coming into the lives of this generation. I believe that you will be living in a paradise Lilly, I hope you continue to create and to provide a platform for those who come after you to launch from.
@@andhewonders A planetary re-birth.We're just at the detox stage now as the planets satanic-parasitical-cancerous- players are being ruthlessly purged.Jacob,Henry,Victoria,QE2 et al have left the stage but we're just experiencing the birth pangs of a new imminent earth epoch and the dark forces seem to be pulling out all the stops in their death throes.
And Armageddon comes each generation to someone-not always your area, but somewhere. The last one is still in the future. And all that stuff-electric, solar, etc., is not without consequences and are the ultimate answer to the world’s energy problem. Now that we have others joining the party in the Middle East, I’m pretty sure we will start to see the beginning of another, larger Armageddon. Is it the big one? Don’t know, but we should do like Lilly says and be ready regardless.
@@deekelley891 I like Lilly, but not necessary agree with electric idea, they wants to place there kill switch, so they can can switch of the car whenever they like. It's good to be prepared, but also if yoy have regular fuell car ,you have a also power station, so in case of something you indeoendent, government wants us addicted to them
.. that are caused by cheap and compromised products (packs, chargers, BMS) and the main reason is poor water proofing and water ingress in the cells. th-cam.com/video/TKeW6Mcxr_c/w-d-xo.html LFP batteries don't catch fire. They just inflate slightly and terminate themselves in event of direct short circuit.
Try driving it through wet tall grass on 2 Mile XX ski trail, in early am, and pulling it through woods over fallen trees to get around a swampy area on trail. OH yeah! Sometimes, it isn't really safe to drive on some highway 2' shoulders hills , AT ALL
She wont be able to do that with that bike , the fat tires make it cumbersome and Very hard to pedal . The frame is overly heavy also . You have to find a good comprimise on the tires thickness with no more than 3 inches , 2 1/2 is better . . The frame at 26 inches is good for city cruising put too tall for decent manuevearablity on grass or trails . Ive been through all this , its hard to find the perfect e-bike for prepping .
I’ve logged over 5000 miles on a Focus, Thron full suspension mountain bike. German. No throttle. Over 7 years old. Monkey Lectric spoke lights create a fireball meteor effect as one row of LED lights goes around. TRIPPY. High visibility at night. We have also invested in flexible solar panels and an adapter for AC charging in the States.
I like it. I checked on Amazon the US price is 1099. I have a folding ebike of reasonable size and it goes about 15 mph which seems pretty good. I like features on your Engwe E26.
There is also the option to ride a standing e-scooter for urban/suburban short trips. They tend to be cheaper than e-bikes, lighter and easier to carry up stairs etc., and good enough for short trips if you have a bike lane or other safe option out of the traffic lanes.
I’d be afraid to have one , too many have caught on fire while charging in you home or apartment, they are banned inside a lot of places now ! I Hope it works out for you !
You need to face the facts: Fires are caused by cheap and compromised products (packs, chargers, BMS) and the main reason is poor water proofing and water ingress in the cells. th-cam.com/video/TKeW6Mcxr_c/w-d-xo.html LFP batteries don't catch fire.

Hi Lilly that a nice E-bike it look well build! My sister ad a e-bike and during recharge it caught fire, it burn the side of her house and the side of her neighbor house to 3 meter away! So everyone be really careful even tesla car catch fire to!
This is really the next generation of e-bikes. The early ones were pretty short on distance and power. I like it. Meanwhile, I was wondering whatever happened to your camper van. I followed your progress and was really interested in seeing the final product. If you still have it, I hope you do another segment on it.
Get some Tannus Armor (or equivalent in your area) for those tires. From personal experience it is extremely difficult to change out the tubes on those fat tires. The tire armor is worth it. It’s a nice e-bike. Welds are good. FYI the e-bikes are limited to 25kph (20mph) otherwise the would be considered a moped.
@@datajunkie3382 In the US it is 20mph to keep it out of moped classification and 25kph where Lilly is. I can see how some people couldn’t put that together. Thanks for pointing it out.
I am an oldschool type of guy. Just a regular old mountain bike. The rear rack on your bike is a good arrangement... You know it can haul more if you are smart about it. My understanding of Electric bikes is that if they konk out, they are really heavy. I also wonder about their circuitry in case we have an EMP. or solar storm that fries the grid like the carrington event did.. Some folks have opted for smallish and very basic 50-90cc 2 stroke gas engine additions to their bikes... They will work hard, they are fast, and they are as simple as a lawnmower to work on... no worries about Electrical infrastructure stuff either. Some folks say, "Oh we aren't allowed to use 2 stroke motors, so why would we get one?" When the SHTF, will the gestapo be out to enforce the laws about lawnmowers and 2 strokes, or will you be the neighborhood hero for having a light and nimble and moderately capable ride to haul you and a bit of gear? You can also retrofit pretty much any bike with a small 2 stroke motor for cheap. as cheap as electric. Older style is sometimes better, although as far as electrics, that set up you got looks really good.
I think your height is more important than if you are big, the bike will be heavy for everyone because it’s a heavy bike, weight is just a con of all e-bikes. I’m glad to see you getting a bike, it’s a game changer for your 5 day walk out plan that you made a vid about a while back.and I’m excited to see what modifications you design to customize it to your needs. Hopefully a kid seat
You need a mix of solar wind and wave/ tidal power. Surely the huge solar arrays could be set up to self wash by spraying water on them using the power from the solar panels? It just take a will and thinking outside the box.
Lily, it looks like we had tgd sane idea at the same time! 😂 I just recently picked up thd MUCH cheaper Vivi ebike from Amazon. Later on this year I want to get a trailer for my bike to convert into a camper with solar panels on the roof and make it into my bug out base on wheels. Later this summer I want to try going on a cross state bike ride with my ebike and camper. Back when I was a teenager 14 or 15 mph (about 28 to 30 kph) was my average regular speed on my mountain bike on flat terrain. I could easily hit 20 to 25 mph (40 -50 kph) on a hill in relatively flat Michigan. As such I like my ebikes able to go at least 20 mph. Fortunately in my home state of Washington ebikes are allowed to go up to 20 mph and still be legally treated as a regular bicycle.
You can make a large faraday box for the bike when you park it. Just a metal box where the bike doesnt touch the sides and set it on rigid foam. Look into it. Ive thought about the safety of being exposed on a bike and i thought spikes on the axels and wherever they work might be helpful! Did you see BEN HUR? The chariot race has spikes that are razor sharp. Hint hint.
Lilly , Haven’t seen you post since this last video , Have you ever seen THE PLEB ? He is showing the farmers protesting all these Governments in Your countries such as France and all other parts of your part of the world you should give it a look even Canada and us the USA were all us farmers, gardener’s ,so on are making a difference, I think you will like this , Can’t wait till you post again , all the best to you and your family ❤
I prefer the Aniioki A8 dual motor bike that id 52volt 60 Amp hour. You can go 100 to 200 miles, go 45 miles an hour and with dual motors you can pull a trsiler full of survival gear. You can also get there inverter that hooks directly to the bsttery.
Thanks for sharing especially since I have been wanting the same for the same reason. Bug out or because no gas available shtf times.😊 A little harder and costly because of living in the middle of nowhere.😮😊
I have the L20, had it for 9 months happy with it but the battery life is not long has only 500 cycles so if you ride it hard on the battery you will be replacing them. I use human power mostly and only pedal assist 2 on hills when I am tired I use it for all short errands and get some exercise. The step thru is the best as at 61 it is much easier to use when you load up with groceries.
Hey Lilly, thanks for this review. Your review, and many others, helped me decide on the brand of bike. It was really useful. I am going to get one of these. It'll be our second car.😁
To share.... I have an Engwe T14, 2 years now and it's running strong, almost no issues. I recently purchased the L20 2.0 and it's not here yet but I'm excited. I'm 5'4" and in my bike boots I'm 5'5". Thank you for your share.
Have fun pushing it. Jope it was a gift. I prefer a real bicycle, one specifically for bikepacking. Currently riding a Karate Monkey. I build bikes for fun.
I am a big man, and I had a E-Bike with 250W motor that is not so powerful, would be better with 750 W or more. Have a 50cc scooter that is easy to drive long distans and don't use much gas. A 7 L tank will last for ca 200 km. I went camping on it about 200 km and I could go longer distans if I want. The battery is a fire hazard, so I will not charge it in my apartment.
The good thing about my 2019 cube attention sl fat powered mtb, is that i don't need to store in a faraday cage. It'll keep working throughout the apococlipse.
I would like to see you set this up with a solar charging system and go on a road trip to see how far you can get in some number of days! How much could you carry? Folding solar panels, charger module, 2nd battery, tent, food, water, etc...
Yep ... E-bikes are great, I got a small trailer for mine so when I go to the store, I can haul all my goodies. Get an extra batterie, that way you double you range. I'm even looking at the trike to haul more for Bugout.
I love your channel. I was thinking, and I believe the only way for us to truly survive is working together and having a plan where it involves numbers. Some how we need communities of people, who can protect each other and are made up of Construction Workers, Doctors, Nurses, Ex-Military, Survivalists, Farmers etc. If threatened we can protect each other, if hurt we can get help and so forth. In other words we share our knowledge.. If we act as individuals, then I believe we will be prayed upon. Somehow, we need to communicate and plan? In regards to the e-bile, I think electricity will be at a premium, so a regular, heavy duty mountain bike may be the answer?
Lilly i have to say after all this doom and gloom, was lovely to see some positivity , Electric Bikes are fun, give it a go....weeee...And if you want to stay legal, there is an option on most kits to just connect the same coloured wires with a handy connector, that fits only one way round, and get massive millage...in sghort 1000w motor become 250w motor, if you wanna tear it up simply unplug and weeeee, become Bunny hill in a moment
Possuo uma bicicleta eletrica também. Pedalo 60km diariamente nela. 800watts e bateria de 13ah. Velocidade de cruzeiro 34km/h, picos de 38km/h. É um excelente veículo.
Great idea! I bought a very similar one several years ago for the same reason. For the naysayers that say they can be taken out with an EMP. If that were to happen just peddle. But if it doesn’t happen then you can travel twice as far, twice as fast. Also for all those that say they can catch fire. Yeah, your car can too. Simply buy a battery charging fireproof bag.
It can't actually go 80 miles. Best I ever got pedaling my butt off was under 30 miles with my Himiway Zebra. Also claiming 80 mile range. Similar bike with a 20ah battery. I would recommend replacing the rear tire with a hard compound road tire. I burned through mine the first summer I put on about 1500 miles. I added an additional hard case 20ah battery with velcro to my luggage rack and doubled the range to around 60 miles. I plan to add 2 more batteries. I also have a small trailer I can pull.
Wow; Congratulations ,Lilly🎉 Excellent Choice! Always Wear your Helmet!! Enjoy your new Transportation! ❤🕊️ Lord's Blessings All From the Foothills of the Olympics WA 🏔️
I have a Luckeep X-1 With saddlebags front and back in the color of your bike but my E-bike Is a metallic gun metal color with MAG rims and 4 inch tires really like the machine only thing I don’t like on it is cruise control but I guess if you’re doing long rides it would be good but it is dangerous. The cruise control option if you forget to turn it off. interesting machine. These machines you use are use a lot in the United States.
Cool bike. It would be a good idea if you added a trailer. Then you could easily carry an extra battery and pick up supplies during an emergency.. I hope you have good security for that bike that no one could break or steal it. I'm still a cyclist at 74.
Hello, greetings from Chile. I have a question: do you know if this year's Betelgeuse supernova is dangerous for electronic devices? Is it a good time to learn how to store everything in improvised Faraday cages?
Hi Lilly, great looking bike, FYI we will be offering a 220W Solar Blanket ebike charging kit that will be less than 12lbs with everything and fold up to the size of a laptop as well as a 300W Solar Blanket ebike charging kit. Should be releasing this by end of April.
I am a small (motor)bike lover, and this is a fun one. I wonder if they have more colors. Camo and leopard would be great for me, apocalypse or not. :) My son would love this too.
I looked at these bikes as an alternative to a motorcycle but it's difficult to get a solar charger for them, it is a nice idea though. I like the luggage rack, it looks like it'd hold a lot of camping gear.
If you’re bugging out it’s cause things went bad and you have to leave. What good is an electric bike going to be without a way to keep it charged? What you gonna carry some solar panels and wait multiple days if not longer to charge it.
Nice bike! I like the options to use the throttle, turn up the speed and remove the battery. Let's say for example that in a crisis situation your bike isn't working on the electric, hypothetically you might choose to remove the battery and hide it somewhere so you can lighten the bike... 😊

How do you plan on charging the bike in your hideout?
Those fat-bikes are practical for post-apo world without roads. Not only for bugging-out.
I have fond memories of Austria. Beautiful. I served in the United States Air Force, stationed in England with 30 days leave and beautiful memories
Having multiple means of transportation is an excellent plan. This E-bike looks like it's fun too.
I totally agree with you on multiple transpo options. $1,100 for the bike? She means well. But, she would be better off buying three or four - 22 speed drive train road bikes. No electricity being needed. One can probably stock up tire tubes and parts for about 10 years for 22 speed bikes. How does she charge the ebike? Batts can only be charged so many times before they fail. I guess the batt is garbage in two years because the ebike is coming with a cheaper made Chinese battery, lol. And war with China would mean no more batts! I wonder how much weight sh could strip odff that ebike for easier pedaling?

This is a valuable resource. Depending on the situations. That's something you can say about any transportation. Quiet, small ,go with out gas. Could take in a car..as backup. Many advantages. Also gives you options.

Small solar panels already exist, but they would take forever to recharge the e-bike. A larger panel works much better.
You’d need 4x12v panels wired the correct way, to make a 48v solar panel. A basic BMS to regulate spiking, and it will charge a 48v battery.
Honestly? It would take you 2 whole days of sun just to charge your battery once. The size of the panels wired this way would be way too large.
Still possible though for sure so long as you wanted to charge it this way from home ✅
Great Video! I have an electric bike. I store it in an EMP box setup when not in use. I went with a mid size non balloon tire with a “run flat” tube. (My reason is staying on logging roads which are closed and running on minor improved roads for quick escapes.). I have a larger capacity bike rated for 600 pounds load capacity and longer distance battery with a larger amp motor. Enjoy every one.
Cool bike Lilly! If it is EMP/CME protected definitely cool though if the power grid is disabled. I would invest in a non-electric mountain bike for the reliability unless you have your own wind turbines/solar panels that are also EMP/CME shielded as well as this E-bike.
Nice Bike. Need some camo-wrap to cover that blue paint during clandestine ops.
camo warp can get very expensive. Try instead going to your hardware store get a couple cans of spry paint in flat camo colors and do your own paint job. While you're at it paint your weapons AR's to walking sticks what ever you have. It's good practice in doing things yourself. Making you that much more self sufficient. Don't rely on others when you can rely on yourself.
So easy to just spray paint bikes. I've done this forever since I was a kid.
don't forget dew weapons don't work on blue
@@JojojamjarThe tires would be burnt off, unless she paints them blue.
not camo, just grey, green, or brown. camo makes you stand out in a shtf
The bug out vehicle that you can carry, in your every day vehicle. Sounds like a win - to me.
Hmmmmm. I'd say it's a better idea to get our global thugs in CHECK! Exxon had already been in talks with prelim deal with Ukraine in 2011. And it was Obama and Biden's CIA led violent coup Ukraine puppet govt that commited genocide against the ethnic Russian children in the Donbas and and Separatist regions. "Misery in UKR as deadly conflict drives civilians from homes" by Diana Magnay and Laura Smith-Spark, CNN 5 min read, Sept 2, 2014. All the Separatist Regions wanted was freedom. But Obama and his puppet UKR govt murdered them all including Prime minister and freedom fighter Alexander Zakharchenko killed in Donetsk cafe explosion!
Russia has activated their nuclear dead hand system. 2 weeks after food has ran out and every little birdie, fishy, rabbit and twig has been eaten, 10 million are gonna decide they are going to live and eat the other 250 million in our America. Where can you live to raise crops year around? Where can you live defending your supplies? 15 million live in the New England area. What do you do when 15 million freezing starving souls walk south looking for food and heat?
Just some tip: The "tempolimit" only applies on streets. You can drive as fast as you can handle the bike safely off road. That includes bike paths and other trails. So the 25 km/h mode is basically only for the street.
This is what 25 years of preparing looks like In Kentucky, USA...We can use ATV's , 4X4 trucks and dirt bikes for travel, no e-bike yet but it's on the bucket list. We have a small lake stocked full of fish. We have turkey, deer and other small game in abundance on the 45 acres of land . 30+ acres are forested and have a small creek that flows all year long on the land. We also grow a sizable portion of our vegetables and can them, We are multi skilled and have all the tools from gardening , fixing auto's or anything with a engine. We can do electrical work, carpentry work, we have climate controlled sheds stacked high with food, water and other necessities like meds, clothing, reloader equipment for bullets and enough solar power to overcome a grid shut down. We also have enough weapons' to protect the local community. We have bug out bags but will prefer to hold our ground but flexible enough to move to safe areas that have back up supplies.

I am SO glad to see the things we old hippies were working on 50+ years ago, solar, electric vehicles etcetc, are coming into the lives of this generation. I believe that you will be living in a paradise Lilly, I hope you continue to create and to provide a platform for those who come after you to launch from.
For the same old Armageddon is coming scenario though🙄
@@andhewonders A planetary re-birth.We're just at the detox stage now as the planets satanic-parasitical-cancerous- players are being ruthlessly purged.Jacob,Henry,Victoria,QE2 et al have left the stage but we're just experiencing the birth pangs of a new imminent earth epoch and the dark forces seem to be pulling out all the stops in their death throes.
Hippie?🤮F...n Lenin wanted paradise as well
And Armageddon comes each generation to someone-not always your area, but somewhere. The last one is still in the future. And all that stuff-electric, solar, etc., is not without consequences and are the ultimate answer to the world’s energy problem. Now that we have others joining the party in the Middle East, I’m pretty sure we will start to see the beginning of another, larger Armageddon. Is it the big one? Don’t know, but we should do like Lilly says and be ready regardless.
@@deekelley891 I like Lilly, but not necessary agree with electric idea, they wants to place there kill switch, so they can can switch of the car whenever they like. It's good to be prepared, but also if yoy have regular fuell car ,you have a also power station, so in case of something you indeoendent, government wants us addicted to them
Very nice. Please don't leave it on charge overnight, or when it's unattended. We're regularly hearing about battery fires in Australia.
.. that are caused by cheap and compromised products (packs, chargers, BMS) and the main reason is poor water proofing and water ingress in the cells.
th-cam.com/video/TKeW6Mcxr_c/w-d-xo.html
LFP batteries don't catch fire. They just inflate slightly and terminate themselves in event of direct short circuit.
Try driving it through wet tall grass on 2 Mile XX ski trail, in early am, and pulling it through woods over fallen trees to get around a swampy area on trail. OH yeah! Sometimes, it isn't really safe to drive on some highway 2' shoulders hills , AT ALL
She wont be able to do that with that bike , the fat tires make it cumbersome and Very hard to pedal . The frame is overly heavy also . You have to find a good comprimise on the tires thickness with no more than 3 inches , 2 1/2 is better . . The frame at 26 inches is good for city cruising put too tall for decent manuevearablity on grass or trails . Ive been through all this , its hard to find the perfect e-bike for prepping .
I’ve logged over 5000 miles on a Focus, Thron full suspension mountain bike. German. No throttle. Over 7 years old. Monkey Lectric spoke lights create a fireball meteor effect as one row of LED lights goes around. TRIPPY. High visibility at night. We have also invested in flexible solar panels and an adapter for AC charging in the States.
I like it. I checked on Amazon the US price is 1099. I have a folding ebike of reasonable size and it goes about 15 mph which seems pretty good. I like features on your Engwe E26.
There is also the option to ride a standing e-scooter for urban/suburban short trips. They tend to be cheaper than e-bikes, lighter and easier to carry up stairs etc., and good enough for short trips if you have a bike lane or other safe option out of the traffic lanes.
Hi lilly, i just bought an aventon aventre 2 stepover. Mine has talk assist, ive increased the top speed to maximum which is 45kmh. I love it.
I have a Aventon level 2 ..good bike
I’d be afraid to have one , too many have caught on fire while charging in you home or apartment, they are banned inside a lot of places now !
I Hope it works out for you !
Exactly. And those guys do not just burn their own home, they often burn the whole house and ruin other people's life with this stupidity.
You need to face the facts:
Fires are caused by cheap and compromised products (packs, chargers, BMS) and the main reason is poor water proofing and water ingress in the cells.

Hi Lilly that a nice E-bike it look well build! My sister ad a e-bike and during recharge it caught fire, it burn the side of her house and the side of her neighbor house to 3 meter away! So everyone be really careful even tesla car catch fire to!
Great demonstration and well communicated on its functions and capability.
Awesome E-Bikes!🔥🔥🔥 N'joy!
Let's Gooooo!!!
Watch some of the vids of those things combusting in China. Nice but be careful.
looks good. I often carry my giant talon in my car just because I can stop and ride it at different places.
This is really the next generation of e-bikes. The early ones were pretty short on distance and power. I like it. Meanwhile, I was wondering whatever happened to your camper van. I followed your progress and was really interested in seeing the final product. If you still have it, I hope you do another segment on it.
Get some Tannus Armor (or equivalent in your area) for those tires. From personal experience it is extremely difficult to change out the tubes on those fat tires. The tire armor is worth it.
It’s a nice e-bike. Welds are good.
FYI the e-bikes are limited to 25kph (20mph) otherwise the would be considered a moped.
25 kph is 15 mph
@@datajunkie3382 In the US it is 20mph to keep it out of moped classification and 25kph where Lilly is. I can see how some people couldn’t put that together. Thanks for pointing it out.
Enjoy the bike lilly. Very well deserved. Fan's love the bike 😂❤
Spring has Came. Thanks.
I am an oldschool type of guy. Just a regular old mountain bike. The rear rack on your bike is a good arrangement... You know it can haul more if you are smart about it. My understanding of Electric bikes is that if they konk out, they are really heavy. I also wonder about their circuitry in case we have an EMP. or solar storm that fries the grid like the carrington event did.. Some folks have opted for smallish and very basic 50-90cc 2 stroke gas engine additions to their bikes... They will work hard, they are fast, and they are as simple as a lawnmower to work on... no worries about Electrical infrastructure stuff either. Some folks say, "Oh we aren't allowed to use 2 stroke motors, so why would we get one?" When the SHTF, will the gestapo be out to enforce the laws about lawnmowers and 2 strokes, or will you be the neighborhood hero for having a light and nimble and moderately capable ride to haul you and a bit of gear? You can also retrofit pretty much any bike with a small 2 stroke motor for cheap. as cheap as electric. Older style is sometimes better, although as far as electrics, that set up you got looks really good.
Thank you, Miss Lily! I will definitely try this E-bike.
Great idea Lilly, thank you!
Thanks Lilly! From Berlin!
I think your height is more important than if you are big, the bike will be heavy for everyone because it’s a heavy bike, weight is just a con of all e-bikes.
I’m glad to see you getting a bike, it’s a game changer for your 5 day walk out plan that you made a vid about a while back.and I’m excited to see what modifications you design to customize it to your needs. Hopefully a kid seat
You need a mix of solar wind and wave/ tidal power. Surely the huge solar arrays could be set up to self wash by spraying water on them using the power from the solar panels? It just take a will and thinking outside the box.
Lily, it looks like we had tgd sane idea at the same time! 😂 I just recently picked up thd MUCH cheaper Vivi ebike from Amazon. Later on this year I want to get a trailer for my bike to convert into a camper with solar panels on the roof and make it into my bug out base on wheels. Later this summer I want to try going on a cross state bike ride with my ebike and camper.
Back when I was a teenager 14 or 15 mph (about 28 to 30 kph) was my average regular speed on my mountain bike on flat terrain. I could easily hit 20 to 25 mph (40 -50 kph) on a hill in relatively flat Michigan. As such I like my ebikes able to go at least 20 mph. Fortunately in my home state of Washington ebikes are allowed to go up to 20 mph and still be legally treated as a regular bicycle.
You can make a large faraday box for the bike when you park it. Just a metal box where the bike doesnt touch the sides and set it on rigid foam. Look into it. Ive thought about the safety of being exposed on a bike and i thought spikes on the axels and wherever they work might be helpful! Did you see BEN HUR? The chariot race has spikes that are razor sharp. Hint hint.
A metal garden shed might do the trick
@@SurvivalLilly don't forget the floor walls and ceiling should all be metal with good electrical connections. For a Faraday cage.
Thanks for the review. Keep us posted on the good and the bad of this bike
I've had my 20 inch fat tyre ebike for a couple of years now and I totally love it :) It is also 48v but with a smaller 10Ah battery
That's awesome Lilly . I got a Velotrek Nomad love it!!
Great video, however dozens of these bikes froze during a Chicago winter 🥶
Being an ebike, you could also use it as an incendiary device if you need to 🙂
E-Bikes are becoming very popular. There are a few children that use them in my neighborhood. Most adults that use them ride offroad.
I’m so glad you got a e-bike. We have 4 e-bikes
What are the options to charge up the batteries out in the field? Is there 48 volt fold out solar?
Lilly , Haven’t seen you post since this last video , Have you ever seen THE PLEB ? He is showing the farmers protesting all these Governments in Your countries such as France and all other parts of your part of the world you should give it a look even Canada and us the USA were all us farmers, gardener’s ,so on are making a difference, I think you will like this , Can’t wait till you post again , all the best to you and your family ❤
I prefer the Aniioki A8 dual motor bike that id 52volt 60 Amp hour. You can go 100 to 200 miles, go 45 miles an hour and with dual motors you can pull a trsiler full of survival gear. You can also get there inverter that hooks directly to the bsttery.
Thanks for sharing especially since I have been wanting the same for the same reason. Bug out or because no gas available shtf times.😊 A little harder and costly because of living in the middle of nowhere.😮😊
Yngwie Rocks, Yeah!!!!!!
Love from Canada Lilly. Stay strong and positive little one.
I have the L20, had it for 9 months happy with it but the battery life is not long has only 500 cycles so if you ride it hard on the battery you will be replacing them. I use human power mostly and only pedal assist 2 on hills when I am tired I use it for all short errands and get some exercise. The step thru is the best as at 61 it is much easier to use when you load up with groceries.
IN my opinion that is going most likely be a one way trip, if the SHTF electricity will in short supply..
This is absolutely amazing! Thank you for sharing i want to get one of these
Hey Lilly, thanks for this review. Your review, and many others, helped me decide on the brand of bike. It was really useful. I am going to get one of these. It'll be our second car.😁
To share.... I have an Engwe T14, 2 years now and it's running strong, almost no issues. I recently purchased the L20 2.0 and it's not here yet but I'm excited. I'm 5'4" and in my bike boots I'm 5'5". Thank you for your share.
Have fun pushing it. Jope it was a gift. I prefer a real bicycle, one specifically for bikepacking. Currently riding a Karate Monkey. I build bikes for fun.
I am a big man, and I had a E-Bike with 250W motor that is not so powerful, would be better with 750 W or more. Have a 50cc scooter that is easy to drive long distans and don't use much gas. A 7 L tank will last for ca 200 km. I went camping on it about 200 km and I could go longer distans if I want. The battery is a fire hazard, so I will not charge it in my apartment.
The good thing about my 2019 cube attention sl fat powered mtb, is that i don't need to store in a faraday cage. It'll keep working throughout the apococlipse.
I would like to see you set this up with a solar charging system and go on a road trip to see how far you can get in some number of days! How much could you carry? Folding solar panels, charger module, 2nd battery, tent, food, water, etc...
A very detailed and effective review! Thank you..
Yep ... E-bikes are great, I got a small trailer for mine so when I go to the store, I can haul all my goodies. Get an extra batterie, that way you double you range. I'm even looking at the trike to haul more for Bugout.
Nice video. I have an Aventon Aventure. I must say it’s the best purchase I’ve made for a bike. 👍
Hi Lilly, I also just got the E26 to use for my vlogs on the channel, and it really is a great bike. 🤙
So how do you recharge your e bike when you have to bug out?
I love your channel. I was thinking, and I believe the only way for us to truly survive is working together and having a plan where it involves numbers. Some how we need communities of people, who can protect each other and are made up of Construction Workers, Doctors, Nurses, Ex-Military, Survivalists, Farmers etc. If threatened we can protect each other, if hurt we can get help and so forth. In other words we share our knowledge.. If we act as individuals, then I believe we will be prayed upon. Somehow, we need to communicate and plan? In regards to the e-bile, I think electricity will be at a premium, so a regular, heavy duty mountain bike may be the answer?
Lilly i have to say after all this doom and gloom, was lovely to see some positivity , Electric Bikes are fun, give it a go....weeee...And if you want to stay legal, there is an option on most kits to just connect the same coloured wires with a handy connector, that fits only one way round, and get massive millage...in sghort 1000w motor become 250w motor, if you wanna tear it up simply unplug and weeeee, become Bunny hill in a moment
Possuo uma bicicleta eletrica também.
Pedalo 60km diariamente nela.
800watts e bateria de 13ah.
Velocidade de cruzeiro 34km/h, picos de 38km/h.
É um excelente veículo.
Great idea! I bought a very similar one several years ago for the same reason. For the naysayers that say they can be taken out with an EMP. If that were to happen just peddle. But if it doesn’t happen then you can travel twice as far, twice as fast. Also for all those that say they can catch fire. Yeah, your car can too. Simply buy a battery charging fireproof bag.
It can't actually go 80 miles. Best I ever got pedaling my butt off was under 30 miles with my Himiway Zebra. Also claiming 80 mile range. Similar bike with a 20ah battery. I would recommend replacing the rear tire with a hard compound road tire. I burned through mine the first summer I put on about 1500 miles. I added an additional hard case 20ah battery with velcro to my luggage rack and doubled the range to around 60 miles. I plan to add 2 more batteries. I also have a small trailer I can pull.
how are going to charge it after you bugged out
Solar panels and a windmill!😂
Portable solar cells exist. 🤨
A second battery
I wouldn't leave that battery in your house.
Why not?
That's a really nice area you live in,. Where are you going to charge that sucker?
Love your videos. Thanks and stay safe.
Wow; Congratulations ,Lilly🎉

Great review! Engwe makes great bikes!
I got an Engwe L20, it's really a nice bike and very very cute :)
I have a Luckeep X-1 With saddlebags front and back in the color of your bike but my E-bike Is a metallic gun metal color with MAG rims and 4 inch tires really like the machine only thing I don’t like on it is cruise control but I guess if you’re doing long rides it would be good but it is dangerous. The cruise control option if you forget to turn it off. interesting machine. These machines you use are use a lot in the United States.
Cool bike. It would be a good idea if you added a trailer. Then you could easily carry an extra battery and pick up supplies during an emergency.. I hope you have good security for that bike that no one could break or steal it. I'm still a cyclist at 74.
YOU ARE A PIECE OF WORK- LOVE IT KEEP IT UP HOWDY
Hello, greetings from Chile. I have a question: do you know if this year's Betelgeuse supernova is dangerous for electronic devices? Is it a good time to learn how to store everything in improvised Faraday cages?
Nice day for a ride those Tyres are chunky but would have good grip. Have fun with it Lilly & stay safe mate.
Hi Lilly, great looking bike, FYI we will be offering a 220W Solar Blanket ebike charging kit that will be less than 12lbs with everything and fold up to the size of a laptop as well as a 300W Solar Blanket ebike charging kit. Should be releasing this by end of April.
right now I'm watching your episode of "naked survival" greetings!!!
Great episode!!!
Gas is a lot easier to find than a charger for the bike.
For now. You can charge this with your own solar. Good luck making your own gas
the batteries have a very short lifespan (months), one of the basic laws of physics.
@@colty7764 bullshit
The old gas mopeds would go 25 mph and sipped gas. You didn’t need much. Could ride all week all on one tank of gas
I am a small (motor)bike lover, and this is a fun one. I wonder if they have more colors. Camo and leopard would be great for me, apocalypse or not. :) My son would love this too.
I looked at these bikes as an alternative to a motorcycle but it's difficult to get a solar charger for them, it is a nice idea though. I like the luggage rack, it looks like it'd hold a lot of camping gear.
If you’re bugging out it’s cause things went bad and you have to leave. What good is an electric bike going to be without a way to keep it charged? What you gonna carry some solar panels and wait multiple days if not longer to charge it.
Nice bike! I like the options to use the throttle, turn up the speed and remove the battery. Let's say for example that in a crisis situation your bike isn't working on the electric, hypothetically you might choose to remove the battery and hide it somewhere so you can lighten the bike... 😊
Nice! They come in trike with baskets front and back.
A folding soler panel and boost controller to change off grid
There are tiny two stroke engine kits available for any push bike, that woukd be a good bug out bike.
I always wanted a e bike with headlight
