I don't understand the vitriol directed against e-bikes either. In my opinion, having an electric motor is no different in prinicple from spending lots on the lightest this, aero that or carbon the other. You're just using technology to help you get more forward motion for a given effort. Try saying this on a "serious" cycling forum (I did 😁) and be prepared to be flamed.

nice to see a true cyclist dowing a revew

As I’m over 60 , I often wonder what would happen to my bike rides if an injury or just wear and tear took it’s toll , an e bike would be the obvious answer, the only problem I could see would be getting it in the back of the car , most of my regular rides are 30 plus miles from home, I would probably go for a foldable/ light one. But as you mentioned if you were a 2 car household a car could be given up and replaced with a quality bike like the one in your video , keep up the good work, Fig Roll Paul

What? 1200 UK pounds for a 7.9 kg bike??? duh I spend, not even a quarter of that for my 7.6 kg aluminum road bike with carbon fork and carbon seatpost only - all other parts from China as well. Also, it has disc brakes, it should be heavier right? so I don't understand why your "all carbon" holy grail weighs heavier.

Who is going to choose the lowest power setting? Me 😁 whenever I use the battery nearly always the lowest setting so I am still working. Max power saved for nasty 15% plus gradients. Think there must be something wrong with me 😂

Thank-you Peter for helping me out with this remarkable bit of kit during the Dunwich Dynamo last Saturday (or it might have been Sunday by then). After thrashing away for ten minutes in pitch darkness with a mini-pump, you plugged this gadget in and it inflated from the measly 10psi I had achieved up to 95psi within a minute. I was concerned that I was taking battery life away from you reinflating after fixing your own puncture, but your testing in this video shows that there would still have been life left in the battery. Absolutely brilliant pump, and great to meet you albeit in adverse circumstances!

Now that I've slept I watched this again. Great review Pete! I have to say the idea of that weight does put me off, but only because I don't have a garage. If I had that then it would be amazing zipping around the fields and you could easily do your food shop on that. Great vid as always!

now I know why the old school guys dont like disc brakes

Fantastic review Mr Treadway. Near to where I live I see lots of old people riding ebikes. Because I live in Swiss Normandy every direction is up or down. I think its great when people of all levels of fitness can ride a bike and leave the car at home. The bike you reviewed looks great, a bit to heavy for me. I have a Trek ebike, but I only use the power for hills over 6% . The last 3 days I rode 40 k per day, 120 k but still had 52% battery power left. I prefer the European brake set up as my left hand is very weak. Same with changing gears in the wife's car. Thank you for another great video .

I'm one of the few people in the United States that doesn't own a car. I have two bicycles and two motorcycles. I would consider an e-bike purchase if I didn't have the motorcycles and may still if I ever get rid of one of the motos. Enjoyed your review, ride on!

Fanciest dismount ever?? Calm down Kevin Bacon 🥓🥓🥓

Weightier than a 13kg gravel bike?! I used to think that e-bikes were cheating; then a mate got one, and it allowed him to keep joining social rides after spinal surgery (even if he did spank me on hills as a result...) and honestly, let's have more of them I say, if it gets people riding bikes...

Excellent review! You didn’t state the motor power though? I’ll bet it’s 500+ watts 😀 250 being the legal max , anyway I’ve got a Fiido ebike and absolutely love it , it’s perfect for my 6 mile commute to work and a lot of fun , I also have a Dawes Galaxy touring bike , like you I just enjoy riding

Cracking review mate, I think you covered all of the bases. I'm of the same opinion as you about e-bikes, absolutely nothing wrong with them if they mean more people can get out and enjoy cycling. After two major ligament repairs and a meniscectomy in my left knee, I have early onset arthritis and will likely require more surgery down the line, something like that would give me the confidence to get back out on the road to regain my mobility and fitness as and when the time comes.

There is some concern over substandard battery/charger combinations causing fires, it might be worth investigating whether Engwie have the proper standards in place, ie speed of charging and over charge protection. This applies to ALL ebikes and scooters

you can do pretty much anything with any bike but if you spend too much on a project like this you might as well go and buy a gravel bike. And you got lucky with the brake leavers working with the V brakes and you also got lucky with the road shifters working with MTB mech. Compatibility issues can lead you to spend much more money than you plan for

You’re very good at doing reviews mate, keep doing it 😊

I love e Bikes. I have 2 of them, they are perfect for resting days and commuting. And my eMTB is a beast for monster climbs. I also own 5 analog bikes, and my 2 latest purchases were carbon gravel and aero race bikes;-)

dangh will it fit on my honda van 😭✌️

thank you for using metric system, that’s really humanity! please explain why you removed an anchor from fork rod ?

Peter, If it’s cycling related do it on this channel, if it isn’t start another one. Really enjoy your content and, like so many others, I just love cycling videos. Keep it up, thanks.

I got new older carbon frame for 350eur model 2016. It is Bergamont brand. German subsidiary of BMC. There are few around in local shops, if someone has time, and doesn't mind Quick release. I think it is good alternative to buying from China. This one is probably also made there, but you can have a look at it before you but it.

i almost threw away my fixie frame bcs of this problem, have a blessed day 🙏🙏🙏

Are there tonight Pete? This is a transport logistical mare..greater anglia aren't too keen on letting cyclist on without bookings..do you have that issue your side? Still looking forward to it now I know I can get to the start line.

Not ultegra in the parts bin… just not good enough 😂

You can add slime sealant to inners. They also sell them

That’s why I don’t use clips… especially when on gravel

How much is a powder coat paint job?

Would you still take a mini pump with you tho ?

Doing this this weekend. Helpful content. Done a lot of night riding. Lot to be said for dynamo lights. Thanks.

Isnt this frame more or less the Tarmac SL6 disc?

Did you find out why the wheel was coming out? Pleas share

Sooooooooooooooo helpful :) One question; How do you ride with no hands on the handlebars for such a long time? #respect

Extra content is cool, but keep doing the videos in your current format as well. They are awesome

I just found your channel because of the cycling bibs video, been watching other videos now, and being a person who likes to watch reviews of almost everything that i buy/use, you keep things real and the attention to details is always good, there will always be a target who likes in-depth or detailed reviews. About other channel, i could suggest doing everything in one channel. Variety is key and if you are open or want to do different things, not only associated with cycling, you can always make playlists, you can work different thumbnails for the videos, etc. Also it's like natural progression, your channel is "Peter Treadway" which is good and could work as a brand, keeping it neutral, you aren't "Peter the cyclist" or "Peter cycling reviews". Best of luck!

Hi Peter - I think you're asking a question here to which you already know the answer, but thanks for asking anyway. Regarding the Cyplus - I think the sweet spot for pricing is around £50. At that I'd give it a punt but not at the current price point. I'll be keeping 'em peeled for you on the DD this weekend👍.

I say keep the same channel, maybe just have a section for reviews. That gives people one landing page for all your content. Keep it up, love the videos! 💪

Put it this way.. I didn’t finish this video.. at least two of the pi follow have reviewed that bike.. though for some it will be a first I understand! Love the cycling stuff though 👍👍

I probably still have a pair of wool cycling shorts. Reviews on shoes? I have wide feet, and I’m trying to find a pair if shoes that take cleats but allow me to walk like a normal human and not walk like Peg Bundy.

I've no issue with you doing reviews. Just make them part of the program

Hi Peter, your channel is fantastic the way it is. Maybe a "Review Thursday" would cover the reviews. Running two channels may spread you a bit thin. Say "hi" to Jimmy he is a brilliant part of your channel, I wish I had someone like him on my channel, he really makes me laugh 👍👍

Your current style of content is something special, and I'd hate for it to lose that authenticity. I gladly watched your Cycplus review even though I'm not in the market for any air delivery apparatus. It was great to have you confirm the manufacturer claims, and I know you will update us in the future if durability or battery life prove an issue long-term. That being said, it was a bit annoying when the same content was included frame-for-frame within the LtP video. I'd say as long as you avoid reruns it doesn't matter much to me how you choose to include review content. Just keep being upfront and honest, and I'm sure I'll still enjoy listening even if it's not a product I'm interested in buying. I guess I share your enthusiasm for delving into specs and details.

Hi Pete, Ive watched the channel from day 1 and absolutely love it (look forward to it every sunday and for a horrible moment i thought you were going to say you were stopping it). I would like all the vids on one channel, there’s no faffing around between channels then and i enjoy all the content you put out anyway,hope this helps and well done on how the channel has grown its well deserved. 👍🏻

On the question. Love the cameraderie and laughs between the group and love the reviews so keep both. But for me don't mix them in the same video, the Cycplus testing in the middle of I think part 2 didn't work for me. Plus I had already watched the separate video on it so it was a bit of a pain scrolling through CZcams to get past it. Keep up the great Vlogs 😁
