Another fair balanced review 👍 I think with mudguards, front and rear racks and better lighting, this could be a great all terrain hunting style ebike for riding through woods.
Had my x26 2 month now. Yes it needs mudguards, but Not sure with the rear suspension how a mudguard would fasten. That rear suspension could be better, as could the gearing, but be warned the hub/ gears are old fashioned screw fit freewheel so u won't be able to put mega gears on, to make it easier to pedal, no power it's a heavy bike and
Not even close. $55 a set and not available for months to come. I even contacted the company In advance of receiving the bike and they had no idea when or if the fenders would ever be in stock again. Probably added the guts of $100 in resale value.
Es una bicicleta ilegal en Europa desde enero de 2024. La nueva normativa de la DGT la clasifica como "ciclo a motor", y no viene homologada para darle de alta como tal. Si Policía o Guardia Civil te pillan con ella la multa es gorda, porque aunque la limites a 25 km/h, el motor sigue siendo de 1000 W, y pesa más de 40 kg. Buscad la normativa, es fácil de encontrar.
I had an X26. I think Engwe tried to do to many things in one bike and it just does not work. At 5'7" the X26 was also just way too tall for me. I ended up trading it for a hyper scooter with another TH-camr.
I imagine that the engineers gave the marketing department a checklist of options. They checked all the boxes and ignored the "check only three" note at the bottom.
na man i stick to 15mph mostly except when its really quiet at night, dont want my bike taken off me its already not allowed so dont wana pull attention (: and im happy with 15.5 anyways just wish was 20 in countryside areas and see no reason why 20 would harm anyone on the roads getting in and out of town, but i agree with 15.5 in town areas ect where alot of pedestrians are.
I like engwe there aftermarket team is good as well ive put almost 7000 miles on my engwe m20 since i got it in august. And have rode it in rain and yet it runs just fine. I would say its worth the 1450 i paid though now its on sale for 1200.
In Europe it is illegal. New regulations from January 2024. The new European regulations classify it as a “motorcycle”, and it is not approved to be registered as such. If the Police or the Civil Guard catch you with it, the fine is heavy, because even if you limit it to 25 km/h, the motor is still 1,000 W, and it weighs more than 40 kg. Look for the regulations, it is easy to find.
Having no mud guards is a BIG deal breaker for me cool looking bike but without mud guards for a off road type bike (tires) is stupid especially if you cant find one to fit with having that extra saddle rack
Please stop chopping back and to between day and night, and different topics. You make it very confusing tryng to keep track of what you are actually talking about! The 3mph throttle setting comes in handy for when you have to walk, pushing the bike, ie a no cycling precinct, as it is such a heavy beast.
Fantastic looking bike and another great in-depth review but the deal breaker for me and all bikes that look like that one is the wire run, im a neat freak and love hidden wires, those running under the frame are definite no no for me, i know you cant hide all the wires but that bike looks like a scruffy home conversion.
I have just ordered the X24 of Amazon , but still waiting for it, so found you video very useful . I used my olde ebike for work and will be using the 24 for the same use . How strong are foldable e-bikes ? As section I Hoover tree roots that make my old bike uncomfortable. How well will the x24 do? I love the fact that the x24 can give me 100 miles use with out charging but in what mode and speed will that be in . Can the x24 be ridden with out the batteries be one if they runout of charge ?
Me as the youtuber, I'd go P275, me choosing my favourite of the ones I've tried I'd go L20. Me as a kid I'd choose M20. Me as a commuter, I'd choose the E26 which will be in my next video.
Depends what you want it for. An engwe M20 with 2 batteries will go as far. Bit torqier but slower top speed. Lots of ebikes faster at this price but not many with speed AND range.
As always a great video, this one is a NO for me, no mudguards, pointless back seat, not easy to turn off and I don't think it looks that good, and at 1500 just not worth it, thanks for the review
Cheers. I was looking at some mudguards in Halfords today - wrapped around the top tube and the saddle stem. Not sure they'd work on this bike due to the battery under the saddle but they looked a good solution for other bikes with no mud guards. But yeah the decision to not need a key is insane imho.

You dropped a key on the floor 4.18 minutes hope you got it for the bike if your missing one
Haha I've got a few minutes of footage where I'm looking for it. I found it accidentally later on.

Its heavy and not easy to pedal anywhere without power.
My EU version arrived in Ireland today, including fenders/mudguards, which was a nice surprise!
You save 10 bucks … bonus

I wish someone near me had used one for sale. It's a unique looking beast of bike. 6'5in 225, perfect for me....
Did you pick up the key that you dropped when unlocking the battery?
In the end but it took me a while. I wasn't aware that I dropped it until later.
yes thats why i love my ebike i dont freaking sweat from riding, my back used to get absolutely freaking soaking wet from riding my bike...
Exactly. As long as the bike doesn't encourage you to want to go faster of course 😂

Just ride at 20 seriously nobody will look twice. People on normal bikes ride faster than 20mph all the time.@@nul1fe

Nice to have a longer vid like the old days
It was nice to have the time to go on a bit of an adventure for once.
That’s one ugly bike😩 £1500 no chance
People might not think there is a battery in the top tube
*Another Engwe video* 🤩👌🏽
⚡️🤟🏽🤟🏽⚡️
Gotta admit, unusal frame shape.
Another great video mate 👏🏼👏🏼

It needs mudguards otherwise it's pretty trick tbf
Is this a good bike for tall people? I'm 6'5.
@@koolk2115 yeah I think it would be pretty good. The saddle goes up nice and high.
@@e-VRC Oh wow man. Thank you very much for the quick reply. I wasn't expecting it. Nice surprise and thanks again. Subscribed! 😁

It's tough but doable to ride these without power. Roots should be fine. The hinge is decent. Have fun when it arrives 🤟🤟
Do you think they make it foldable to save on shipping?
Surely there's not this much call for foldable bikes
Pretty sure it wasn't folded in the box. Yeah bikes like this don't benefit much from folding apart from battery access
And you dropped a key on the floor aswell
If Engwe offered you one free bike from their current range, which one would you pick?
Me as the youtuber, I'd go P275, me choosing my favourite of the ones I've tried I'd go L20. Me as a kid I'd choose M20. Me as a commuter, I'd choose the E26 which will be in my next video.
Thanks again from across the pond. Great videos.
@@koolk2115 thanks for watching 👍👍
Too many compromises.
I'm thinking of buying one what do you think is there anything in competition against this bike
Depends what you want it for. An engwe M20 with 2 batteries will go as far. Bit torqier but slower top speed. Lots of ebikes faster at this price but not many with speed AND range.
Nice video, is it possible to fix mudguard on this bike?
Engwe may supply them. You can get mud guard attachments but I'm not sure the rear type that comes off the saddle stem would fit.
can i use this bike for uber deliverer on scotland roads
What's ur budget, I can recommend something better
As always a great video, this one is a NO for me, no mudguards, pointless back seat, not easy to turn off and I don't think it looks that good, and at 1500 just not worth it, thanks for the review

Hi thank you. Is the x24 and x26 allowed on UK roads? If yes, I'll buy one, probably x26.
Nope not allowed but just limit the speed I'm from the Netherlands we have the same rules I ride a DIY ebike with bafang middrive 750w
I bought one. Don't ride in the wet. Simple
Very helpfull.
