Merry Christmas to everyone! Thanks for the support this year. This may not be the last video of the year. I might do an unboxing of an epic bike that arrived yesterday. REALLY excited for this one. Ride safe everyone.
Love your content, very useful. What bike would you purchase through the cycle to work scheme if you had to choose one?
It seems a lot of the brands I've worked with either don't do it or I'm not aware of it. I know Hygge do. I've got a couple of their bike right now. Not ridden yet literally only unpacked a Virum today but it looks very Posh with hydraulic brakes, upgraded gears and it's small and light
Loving the output. Just wondering ... can a bike like the PVY Z20 Plus pass under the radar in UK ? Not had a bike before , but loved this one. Thanks
I'd say generally yes. If you keep it limited to about 16mph and turn off the throttle then you'll be fine if anyone were to stop you since the website says it's a 250w bike.
But even if you keep it unlocked and throttle it's unlikely you'll get pulled unless you're riding dangerously.
your videos are really good great videos ngl good to watch
Thanks, I really appreciate that. Thanks for watching 👍👍
@@e-VRC np bro
Hiya been watching and subscribing for some time now, like what you do. Have you had a chance to try the lankaliesi rv 700 yellow. Very nice looking and promising stats but limited reviews available. Would love your opinion brother. By the way love the comical aspect to vids. Merry thingy and happy do dah to you and your loved ones. See you soon. ✌😎.
Thanks! No not tried that one. The first contact I had with them was about the x3000 max. I'll check it out.
You heard of the Gogobest Gm26? Mid drive, 250w, hydraulic brake, sub £900 on some UK sites. Tried to find reviews or videos on it but cant find anything useful. Really tempted by it as my city has some STEEP hills and the mid drive surely will give me the torque for that
Would love to see a review on the Fiido Titan, I currently own the Engwe EP2 pro but I have previously owned a Fiido and they do seem a bit better quality.
Sounds good I'll check it out. Fiido wanted to send a bike once then went quiet.
Mate
Any ideas on a 35/40mph ebike that will do 40 miles that I could get on a cycle to work scheme?
Upto 2/3k?
I don't yet have an e-bike. You've reviewed some cracking looking ones and I've been tempted. I'd often be using it in a large city and it's generally very safe here (if you're sensible). The issue is it's also pretty flat, so bikes are very popular, but because of that they are very desirable and bike theft is very common. I was tempted by the one you reviewed that looked a lot like a moped with locking wheels along with the alarm system. It doesn't appear to be available in my country though :(.
How about a video on the best ways to combat theft of bikes and their parts?
Good video idea. It's annoying that we have to put up with it. The Bodywel would be a good shout. Only issue is that it's unexciting once you've been on faster ones but it's a great bike and Megan the test rider loved it.
Been looking at the electric option for a while, but being a life long conventional mtb/hybrid cyclist I'm more than a little sceptical & would like to see more in depth reviews of these bikes including safety, durability, spare parts availability etc etc etc. I suspect that most will fail on those important to me points?
The engwe l20 your video made me buy one and I love it
Glad you do. It's a great bike 👍
Thanks for great video however the GN29 is not £899. Showing at £1999 on Amazon?
I picked up an Eskuta SX250 Series IV after your review and have absolutely no regrets...... thank you for all your hard work.
Awesome and thanks! Itsan amazing bike. I was due to post a fulll review then saw the s4 came out. Gonna get down to nuneaton to test it at some point. Merry crimbo!
@@e-VRC It’s identical to the Series 3 but has an extended battery…. Merry Christmas !
I just had my Engwe Engine X stolen two days ago and I am contemplating buying the PVY Z20 Plus 1000 now. But also a bit split between buying the Engine X again because I loved it so much.
Can you give your honest opinion which you would choose?
I like that the PVY has a horn and blinkers, and also a more powerful battery for the price. But can't figure out if I'll miss out on something considering the much lower price. There must be a trade off right?
Its sad but I feel like ebike theft has been on a long slow incline in frequency for awhile now but now were at the precipice of a major exponential boom in thefts... I hope not, but even with relatively thoughtful theft deterrence, they are too easy and lightweight to nab and the increase in people who dont hold the values of theft being a very bad thing are growing. I think its almost a requirement to tuck away a very cleverly hidden airtag or other means of tracking. What a crappy outlook. Ya cant hardly run into the store for a moment without worry of your property being taken by someone who is too lazy to work to earn their own. Sorry for the rant!
All the best mate
You too 🥳
Merry Christmas thanks for the channel and all the work, my fave review was on the gunai gn29 /duotts c29
I hope you had a great day! Thanks, I enjoyed making that review as it's the review when I found more interesting places to go in my local area. Great bike too 👍👍
for the last 3 weeks or so I was just watching ebike reviews on YT, finally it came down to 3 ebikes, PVY 1000, WALKE x3 pro and ENGWE ENGINE PRO, at last i decided to go for ENGWE it just felt like it has the right balance among the 3 of them. hopefully I wont regret my decision.
I'm sure you won't it's a very good bike 👍
been enjoying my engwe engine pro for a week now. the only concern i have with it sometime is the range. yeah i ride a lot and usually on assist 4, cause there are lots of hilly roads. been thinking of second battery, but i see people say its not a good idea with bikes that has regen. any advice on that
@@e-VRC
Great video!
Cheers!
@@e-VRC I have a WAU bike X Plus at the moment. This has helped me to see more options out there.
@@OG_Rider i had a go on that when wau brought the cyber down. Nice bike!
Xmas love to you n family 🎉🎉🎉
Thanks same to you and yours 💖💖
Any future reviews for hygge vester?
Not planned. I've not seen that bike before.
Hi I love to ask a question to do with taking fat tyre bikes on trains. I was on an Irish train when the guard got upset about the 4 inch fat trye could not fit in cycle rack. Is there a Bag that fits some of your ebikes you recommend as this would help?.[Also on Eurostar to Paris] Also is there a standard charger that a pub/cafe or restaurant could fit instead of 3 pin mains plug?
Ebike chargers always come from the mains. The plug depends which country you're in. I'm not sure what you mean by a bag for a bike. I wouldn't want to take a big fat tyre ebike on a train.
Thank you so much for replying at Christmas. I am going to buy a ebike hence why I view your channel. I have rented ebikes on holiday and would love to go to places where you can tour, but no bike rent or the price of rents are really expensive [more than a car], like Faro this year. If ypu put a folding bike in a bag or box French railways and eurotunnel will except and this means low carbon travel? Shame about the plug, here on the ring of Kerry Cyclists have to lug a charger and beg a socket. I am pushing that Cafes and pubs offer for free with a drink or meal. Kind regards and have a nice relaxed Christmas Jeff
@@064prior thanks you too! That sounds like a good idea. Keep pushing 👍
Bravo on keeping it real in the face of Bezior being frustrated with you. Maybe -just maybe- they will take the criticism, FIX THE ISSUE of battery/controller not matching their false marketing (maybe not intended?), and once fixed, send one to you, knowing that youll give a positive review of an actual positive performer, and in doing so they partially redeem themselves by not avoiding you just because you called out their mistake... IF a company did that, I would take that as a major sign of credibility, just like when they told you, once you asked, about the 1500 watt motor and it being capable of 15oow but the batt/controller not. In my view, Bezior isnt lost, but they are definitely in limbo until they prove themselves worthy!
Thanks. Yeah apart from the controller/battery issue it's actually a really nice bike. I should contact them again at some point.
@@e-VRC I thought the bike looked and rode wonderfully, and really, its quite adequate for most folks, but if they are going to put forth a number like that, then they need to match the system to it, otherwise it feels like a marketing ploy, even if its not. Thats why I think they should send you another one after they fix that issue, as a means of puting peoples doubts to rest. Id give alot of credit to a company that did that! Thanks for the reply. Keep doing your thing!
*Eyes & Lightenin* 😂
🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
My favourite C20 annoyed you 😭
Great round-up/summary 👌🏼👌🏼
Cheers! Did you ever get one?
@@e-VRC space is a big factor but havin 3 boards on rotation, i would have another battery i need to make sure im not leavin fully charged or too low a charge
@@eBoard3R This is huge. I don't know how people with multiple vehicles manage to keep batteries tip top.
@@e-VRC when im fully healed from issues and ridin almost everyday it should be easier but its still early days
Sir Can you plz compare engwe x26 vs engwe ep 2 pro
I am confuse which to buy
Get the ep2 pro unless you need loads of range. X26 is like double the price isn't it? It's better but not twice as good.
@@e-VRC okay thank you
Waiting for my pvy z20 plus 1000 😊😊
You'll love it 👌👍
Its got to be the Engwe Pro, reson why is because i own one and love it😂 Have a good one all and ride safe during the silly season.
It's a great bike 👍 have a good one 🥳
How is engwe ep2 pro 250w any idea about this ????
Not sure what you're asking. Are engwe saying the ep2 pro is 250w?
@@e-VRC hello there Thank you for the reply, Engwe ep2 pro in Amazon it says that it's 250w ,I have a doubt that it will have lower power as it's 250w! You think it will have a lower power?! Comparing to the 750w model in engwe website !!?
@@sadiqbashao7 yeah I think they're starting to class their bikes as 250w and lock them down to 15.5mph with disabled throttle. You'll probably be able to unlock the 250w version so it's the same as 750
@@e-VRC Thanks mate for clearing the doubt , so it's just the label they are putting to make it legal ,, I will go with the Engwe ep2 pro!! Thank you ! ..
Unfortunately all the prices on the e-bikes have gone up in prices in some prices £200 up crazy
what about the M20 ?
It's at the end
Lol I gut duped by some ebike publicists. Got a lankeleisi xt750 plus and the motor was gutless.
I wonder if it's the same issue as the bezior. Same bike it seems.
@@e-VRC they are nearly identical. I replaced the old motor with a 3000w direct drive. It's significantly better now with a new controller and an extra battery in parallel.
How can a 250wat do 28mph when the 750wat I had 26mph to now either your telling lose their is no 250wat bike do 28mph
Some bikes are more powerful than 250w but the brand locks them to 15.5mph and sells it as a 250w bike. I don't know if they've had the bike somehow classed as 250w officially or if they just call it 250w. Either way they easily unlock to be faster than 250w. But even if they are kept at 15.5 mph they are much better up hills than a normal 250w bike say from Halfords.
I just used to enjoy when you nipped to pick up parcel an chatted nonesense
I think i need to do that more on 1st impressions videos
Got to admit though if you`ve got a bike with two 1000 watt motors and the traffic cops pull up next to you then you are basically asking for trouble as even one 1000watt motor is not road legal in the UK. It would be kinda hard convincing a Traffic cop that you were only keeping it at 15mph .Anyway Merry Christmas to you and your Family and keep up the reviews for next year
I was thinking about the bike yesterday and this is what I thought too. With a big 1000w motor you could limit the speed to 15.5 and plead ignorance about the motor - who knows how big they're meant to be? But with 2 motors you'd have to be pretty dim to think that's 250w.
the bst video so far for me pvy 250w
