Yes, I know that I called the manufacturer INISWHEEL and not ISINWHEEL - blame dyslexia (which I don't have but for the purpose of this video I identify as dyslexic...)
In this video hopefully you will appreciate that I have genuinely used this bike. At the time of filming I'd gone just over 70 miles on it and the later video (linked above) is a 200+ mile review.
I never have and never will accept payment for reviews and if something doesn't measure up to my expectations I will not publish a video, I just contact the company who sent it and ask to return it.
You will see from the state of the bike in the 200+ mile review (linked above) that this bike has been given quite an unfair thrashing, just as I do with any other bike I own - yet it has held up extremely well.
Therefore I have no problem recommending it to anyone wanting a very affordable commuter bike which will perform extremely well for many years under normal conditions. I accept that I'm probably in the 1% of people who rides like a man possessed every time I get on a bike, hence all the broken bones and scars on my body.....
I genuinely love this bike and it is a joy to ride.
I've seen a few reviews on other channels where the 'reviewer' has had a problem with catching their feet on the front wheel when when turning corners but they are riding using the arch of their feet on the pedals with over half their foot beyond the pedals. I have not had any problems with my feet catching the front wheel, even when turning tight corners at speed as my feet are properly positioned with the ball of my foot over the centre of the pedals instead the arch of my foot being over the pedals - how anyone can ride flat footed is beyond me but if you ride properly the distance between the front wheel and pedals won't be a problem for you (unless you are wearing clown shoes).
However....
Not everything has been perfect with this bike and I've had to tighten one of the pedals and headset after the first 2-3 decent rides ..... and ..... that's about it in 200+ miles of riding. Everything else I've had to alter or repair has been down to my brutal treatment of the bike, riding style (or lack thereof) and a bad crash I had on my last ride (which I explain in the 200+ mile review video).
Feel free to ask me anything in the comment section and I will answer it to the best of my ability.
Thanks for watching and check out the other videos on my channel.
If you check out the website link at the top of this comment / video description you will see that ISCOOTER also sell some crazy electric scooters which look awesome and the speed / battery life on some of them is very impressive.

Excellent video, very clear and informative 👍🏻
(my other channel) No worries and I'm glad that you found the video useful.
Up to the point where I had a major crash (as explained in the 200+ mile review video) it was working perfectly so I would have no problems recommending this bike.
I abused the bike, treating it like a mountain bike and ultimately colliding with an immovable object at 20+mph which did it no favors.
When it is used as intended I've no doubt that it will function for many years and I've left a £9K mountain bike in my shed while riding this bike as it is so much fun - that speaks volumes.
Very nice!
Richard, can you take me fishing again this year, yeah?👍🏻🤣
I was trying to think who I went fishing with last year then realized that it's a virtual thing in videos, lol
I've joined the fishing club this year so will definitely be out fishing in the next few days.
The resulting videos will be on my Thousand Yard Stare channel.
I missed you Rochard! A little correction. 20 miles is 32 Km or 25 Miles is 40 km/h speed. I loved it the medium 40 Km/h wind knocked over the bike. Goes to show how stable your bike is with that flimsy kickstand. To me, it's a nerdy bike it is not my cup of tea. But enjoy it!
The land behind me is not flat (and is soft) so the bike was leaning to begin with but I picked that site because it has a decent background. The kick stand is fine on flat solid ground.
I wish that as a world we'd either use metric or imperial measurements as it's a right fart on using both in the UK.
I hope you're keeping well.
@@pondguru Gotcha! Yeah, you know here in Canada we have used the metric system since 1976. Only 3 countries in the world still use the outdated British measurement. (US, Liberia and Myanmar) Maybe thanks to the British for this. Anywho. Not the falling over if the bike or the kickstand was the funny. The face you made. You should do some bloopers. It won't make you less and I think make you more humble cause over the years I get that from you. Just a little shy cause we see you hear you and what you do and it's us we watch, make some opinions based on our immediate feelings and we write them down. But my kick was that I wanted to return the favour to put a smile on your face. I'm sure I did! As a fellow European the only thing I never adopted to be a North American dude is the arrogance. Life's too short to be miserable and I have to laugh at least once a day. But 1 thing you are right about. We getting older and a little lazier and we look for easier ways. With that said, tell me how to welcome or teach the Americans, to the easy logical measurement that the whole world is using. I know the Yanks have a little grudge against the Britts but you see they are too stubborn to let go and learn something better. I mean even the British, who came up with those old outdated measurements and they've changed. All immigrants and those who illegally sneak in the Southern Border use Metric too. I guess their hard-core arrogance keeps them from change. B safe and ride on ride on. Your You-Tube cyber friend G!
@@Gabor.P. Unless you live way out in the wilderness of Canada I'd seriously consider moving to Mexico or some other country which isn't charging headlong into communo-fascism.
Years ago I had a dream of moving to AU, NZ or CA and now they are the last countries on earth I'd move to - they've totally exposed themselves since 2020.
Fair enough, the UK is bad enough with all the WEF nonsense they are pushing but outside the cities we're still quite free here.
From the conversations I've had with North Americans (including Canadians) I've not found them to be arrogant or difficult to communicate with - at the end of the day most people of a thinking mind just want to take care of their families and be left alone under the specter of an overbearing government. Anyone going along with the government is the problem and I tend to ignore them since they are obviously incapable of critical thinking.
@@ThousandYardStare Darn. I guess you ran into a few good ones. I wonder how much time you spent there. But hey just a normal white thirty-something working father of 2 here on CZcams made a video about this and why he rather struggle with measurements than learn about something easier and simpler that is practical. You should read the comment section on the one who is against it and those who see it like we do logically. BTW here in Canada people mistaking us as the most polite nation and we will kill you with our kindness. False! We are the best to ignore and smile while we walk away. I mean yeah they don't kill you but they ignore you. You wanted to move to AU CA or NZ as a good British patriot to his country or cause it's cheaper to make a living cause I watch videos and people over 45-50 move out cause they can't afford to live in England. There are 2 guys (British both) who travel the world;d and they show England all the not-pretty side. The ghetto part. 1 is a sorry bum backpacker Ben and the other loser is the Bald and Bankrupt. Just look at what they show about England. Watching those videos no wonder all people from England want to move out and away and why all the Indians Muslims and Black Africans want to move in and slowly take over that small Island country. BTW as long as you are coloured and from 3rd third-world country, you are welcome to Canada. But if you are white, sorry you are not welcome. They have a valid question and if you could answer it then you may have a chance. Goes like this. Why somebody from a first-world country want to immigrate to another country when your life is not in danger you are democratic and live by the rules of law and they aren't prosecuting you just because of your race so no need to escape with your life just simply by an airplane ticket and come say hello to me. Otherwise, you have no chance. So unless you fit the refugee status you'd better stay put. I was still lucky in 85 cause I defected from communism. Now I would stand no chance but now I wouldn't want to leave. You still have some chance cause your country colonized and enslaved half the world and those countries you mentioned speak the same languages as you do only with a little weirder accent. 1 interesting fact though: The US is independent so they are proud of it too. But Canada New Zealand and Australia are still a British colony. Cause when I went for my citizenship I had to swear a legion to the second Lizi or Betty the second R.I.P. So why are English people only allowed to come as visitors or as tourists. But I'm glad you all grew up and stayed and didn't move to any of the countries you mentioned. I think you did a good job.
PS: England needs native white people cause let's face it they can't even govern or lead their own country anymore. An Indian has to do it for them! hahaha.
where can I get media for this?
This Video couldn't have come at a better time as I'm now off the tools and have moved into the parts dept at work and communiting on the push iron, although it's a bit creaky and worn out, not sure if I was going to go down the electric hybrid bike route but interesting to see what they can do
If I had to commute to work I would happily use this bike for that purpose.
Even when I went out on it last night (over 20 miles) up in the hills I didn't feel tired or in any extra pain - there is no way I'd be able to ride a 'normal' bike on that route currently since my ribs are broken down my left side.
To be honest I've been more uncomfortable driving my car in the last few days.
@@pondguru Pair Play Richard, I used to think differently about electric assist bikes but at the end of the day if they help you out then nothing wrong with that ay,
Crikey, did the other guy come off worse? 😂
Nope, the other guy just got in his car and drove off. When I regained my breath (and consciousness) he was gone but that's the sad state of society now. Grey Volkswagen Golf just for reference...
I am so glad that I have taken steps to insulated myself and immediate family from what is going on and what is to come.
It feels great to work in the garden when I know my family will enjoy all the vegetables, fruits and herbs I've been growing and the production is getting better all the time since I've been concentrating on making a 'food forest' kind of set up where anyone with no knowledge of food production can reap the rewards if I die tomorrow (by the way, I've no intention of dying tomorrow, lol)
@@pondguru I'm sorry to hear that Richard, the world's a mess ay, future doesn't look too prosperous ay, you're doing it right for sure, I've made a small start by getting some potatoes growing but be nice to dedicate some time to being more self sufficient..
When im cycling to work, everyone is in such a rush and I'm sure my handle bars have nearly been clipped a few times now, people leave no space for cyclists, and I can understand their attitude towards those that ride three abreast, they might say they hate cyclists but do they really want killing someone on their conscience..
Yes, even though I'm a keen cyclist the riding 2-3 abreast issue really bugs me when I'm driving on winding country roads since some of them will not fall into single file to allow cars to pass.
I never give them abuse but I see people shouting or tooting a them all the time - 'normal' cyclists are fine and easy to pass so they definitely are no problem.
With regard to the state of the world the sad thing is we're surrounded by peace and abundance yet everyone is trained (through education and media) to live in fear with a mindset of scarcity. With that mode of thinking we will never prosper, or share, or experience true happiness.
The world will easily support many times more people but it's the distribution of resources which is the problem.
I'd love land to be distributed fairly and if everyone had even 2 acres we could transform the world into something beautiful with no reliance on governments. For anyone wanting to live in cities and not work land their 2 acres can be given to someone or a community who wants more than 2 acres.
With freedom to work the land and trade freely there would never be such things as food banks or junk food.
Maybe I need to go and live with the Amish....
Where have you been ❤
on his bike.
Pretty much, yes - work, garden and bike.
In that order, lol
Why do they always make these bikes look like something that was used in the 1940s...?
Probably just to be practical for the intended use (commuting, trips into town etc.). I can imagine that many people now have a problem lifting their leg over a high top tube, hence the step-through design of commuter bikes.
