We NOW have LOADS of new Ebike, Escooter and other EV content over at my other channel the EVRC. Going forward this will be VR only so come subscribe to the EVRC:
www.youtube.com/@e-VRC Engwes NEW bikes are great!
See you there 🤘🤘
@K 9 thanks!
Cool, (also, which game from Meta Gaming showcase r u most excited for?
so, do you email me the code, or something else? Should i give my prefered method of contact?
@@pixel_eyezd3805 hey sorry I totally missed this somehow. Yeah gimme an email to the email in the description (and give me a clue here as to your name) and I'll send the code there.
Very informative video, thanks! Saving up for this beast.
Amazing video production quality, Hopefully this channel can thrive even more :D hard work will pay for sure
thanks! i had fun doing this one. still a lot to learn. like more atmosphere shots of the beer garden. better variety of 360 shots on the bike ride etc.
Found your vids very helpful..I bought a engwe engine one...well powerful...tell tash she has a admirer lol💞
Excellent review. I've noticed your editing is getting more professional every time you make a new review video, I've said it before, I really do think you should be on The Gadget Show or some other show reviewing stuff.
ah thanks a lot. I'd love to keep doing videos like this.
Is the backseat included or did you buy it separetly? Thnx for a great video 👍
AWESOME VIDEO very nice 👍
just to compare.. I have had similar bikes like Engwe over the years, my last one was a CROSSFIRE E.BIKE
with 7.speed schimano gears, 26.inch tires
My latest one is an RKS same shape similar to the Engwe bike, foldable with the 20x4.0 tires comes with the PAS 1-5 & 7 speed schimano gears
The Engwe looks like a cool bike! I’d probably get that for camping if it wasn’t so expensive! The scenery was absolutely beautiful!
yeah there's some nice places round here. it would make a great camping explorer bike.
Good review.
I'm always surprised how those electric bikes come from such a small box. The foldable aspect is really nice for car travel. 👍
yeah they definitely help vs non foldable.
😊 hay VRC. would definitely get the mountain bike style e bike, they seem to look more “regular”. So to convince neighbours I was of for exercise using my own steam 😂😂😊😊. Keep up the great work.
haha good idea 😂
Thanks for the video, I am pretty sure I will buy this fat ebike but the only question I have is where do you get the seat for the back of the bike to carry someone else?
Thanks for the review
Great info 👍
hey. great video thabk you very much. di you have a link to the rear view mirrors you have that attach on the arm from the handle bar? much appreciated
I use mine in mode 3 and pedal i do 12 miles a day 6 days a week to work n back charge on sunday night then again on Friday night❤️🦄🏴
Nice! Have you had to change tyres yet or Amy problems you encountered with bike?
Thanks for the review! What did you experience with the machanic disc brakes, is it strong and safe enough with such high speed?
If adjusted right and you're able to grip tight enough then they're fine.
If i get an E-Bike it has to have 29 inch tires, i am so used to those by now that i just can't go back to anything smaller, riding those offroad is so much smoother. 🚴😁
Great review. I feel the folding doesn't do much if you still have to put the seats down to transport it. So a e-mountain is probably the way to go, since it would probably be lighter/sturdier? 😎👍
thanks. I've tried to transport a normal mountain bike in the back of a car and it's really awkward being non foldable.
That thing really flies! Good thing you guys are out on the wide open roads of the US 🇺🇸. It's a bit chunky for my taste though, do prefer the look of the other bike more. That's what I would want, a small slim foldable bike. 👍
you mean the Eskute Wayfarer? yeah these bikes are pretty in your face compared to that one.
That's UK not US... Going on the left side of road and car steering wheels on the right...
@@PkKingX11 it's a running joke that I test bikes and scooters in the US since they're illegal here.
Really great job, can you tell me how to control the speed without using the pedals because today I bought one and I do not know how to control the speed
when folding, you 've got like an arch metal welded piece by the seat hold that to fold/unfold the bike ;) and looking at other videos you can de-restrict it so you can go quicker. i've just bought one waiting for delivery.
How is the bike, would you recommend it.
Looks really good I'd love an electric bike
This bike would be my favourite out of the ones I have seen so far in this channel. Something about the look and the power output of the bike is simply just very nice (I actually like the mudflaps!) Personally though I would prefer a bike with real fat tires, though the tires on this one is pretty big my boyfriend informed me that he has tires that are even bigger (He even considered the tires on this one to be small lol) I have issues with balance on bikes with small tires, so I would sacrifice features like foldability in order to get bigger tires. Since a bike is gonna take a lot of space anyways and it would be a hassle to fold it and unfold it for a busy goat like me 🐐🐐🐐
you mean like those citycoco scooters? check them out if you haven't seen them. I'd love one of them.
Ok im sold im getting the Engwe over the ado af20+ im 6ft 2" tall and weigh 16 stone. The Engwe specs is good. So much going for this bike such as mudguards and back lights included the ad20 doesn't come with all this. Thanks for the video I've subscribed 😀 I have a Beacon basis e bike which im selling for £890 ovno on gumtree hoping I can sell ot for this price to purchase the engwe.
I live in the UK can you please send me a link to purchase this bike I need a good deal 🙏 😊 Thank you so much.
I liked the engwe almost bought it. from reading varies reviews it seems to be a Great bike but also from the reviews if there are any issues and you need customer service then it seems the nightmare begins. Do you have any comment on customer service? I ended buying from an American company Lectric is rated A+ with the Better Business Bureau. So ride with a bit of confidences that the manufacture will back its product. I bought the x2 premium it's a bit more bike then the engwe hands down. check it out till me what you think.
It's great work I got my new bike for the same type but I need help I don't know how to control the speed without using the legs
I wish someone would do a actual voltage test on this 750w motor, other reviewers are saying its not a true 750 motor. The price is awesome, I can get two of these for 1870 compared to two G Force's for 2300.
Its not a voltage test you need on a motor its a 48v battery so theres 48v going to the motor. Its the controller that dictates the power going to the motor (amps) so its 48v X amps.
The motor is 750w is a rated power that the motor can run constantly without overheating. Generally a motor can run 2x its rated power. Im pretty sure these are running around 800-900watts
@@mikehyde3618Hello there I have a doubt !! I'm confused on engwe ep2 pro 250w and 750 w motor versions which one to buy because ,I'm trying to buy with Amazon so I can get installment plans , shall I go with the 250 w version?? Advice pls
Where did you get the back seat? Or does it come with the bike?
This is the e-VRC channel he keeps mentioning - come on over if you love ebikes, escooters, esk8's and e-unicycles
My advice if you thinking of getting one of these, is look for a deal with an extra battery. Honestly you won't want to stop riding it
I think this bike seems better , its clearly faster , foldable is pretty cool in a apartment . I do agree with your wife that it look more like a old person bike while the other one seems like a bmx/sport aspect .
i wanted to swap over to see how it would perform with my weight but the ado brakes were being funny. Tash is a friend, not my wife 😂😂
Wonderful review!! 🚴🏼♂️🚴🏼♀️ I prefer the folding type E-Bikes as it’s easy to take them to and from apartment/townhomes in city areas. Cheers 👍🏼
thanks!
Where did you source the seat from?
I knew that was Pendeford! 😂👍👍
Ah, a local!
These fat tyre bikes looks so dope can't lie! I do wonder though if the perfect all rounder is a 26inch wheel electric mountain bike with full suspension
Hi I just wondered what it cost and where can I order one from..
Slim, QUIET, works great. I wanted modern and out of the way. This is it!
07:45 I take a simmilar bike on the train almost daily. Because its folded I dont have to pay for it.
Im surprised to see Im still the only one that takes one on the train.
I'm really impressed by your review, and the bike looks to be very good too. Just one thing I'd like to know, I live in a very hilly area, gradients around 30-35%, and I'm about 14 stone and wonder if it would get me up them? Any advice appreciated.
on power mode 5 this thing rips hills trust me you will get up probably easy
i got my second engwe last week, this time it bought the one of 1000,- instead of 950,-. because thats the new upgraded version with a upgraded battery, and this thing does better compared to my old engwe ep-2
Yeah 14 stone isn't that heavy 👍
What's up with the 250 W motor law stuff then? I'd love to get an ebike but I'm so unsure of what I can legally get. That cargo seat would be perfect for the kids too. I might check that pub out being as I'm from Bilston way 🍺 great video 👍🏿
cheers! big shops like halfords will only sell 250w ebikes. basically they let you go as fast as a normal bike but with less effort. Throttle that takes you over 6mph and power over 250w is illegal, however since ebikes are legal they don't stick out as an illegal thing in the same way as escooters do.
@@VRCauldron
The police don't really care even in London. So long as you aren't being a nuisance. Riding fast on the pavement etc.
I've been riding an M1 pro for 7 months. Over 2500 miles and no problems. I see any old bill I just ghost pedal.
I saw some idiot on a Kaabo Wolfking scooter. Tearing up the road at 40 plus miles an hour. And he got stopped by the police.
For the UK, I think the UK version of the Ado A20F is a safer bet because if the police stop you it will say 250W on the back wheel. But this Engwe will have 750W printed on the wheel. So you will get points on your license and a fine if you're stopped on this.
@@dtz1000Hello there I have a doubt !! I'm confused on engwe ep2 pro 250w and 750 w motor versions which one to buy because ,I'm trying to buy with Amazon so I can get installment plans , shall I go with the 250 w version?? Advice pls
Good value for the dollar
Hi, good review. 👍 Could I be a pain, and ask you to measure the seat height at its lowest level? I'm 5'4, and curious if I would fit. Thanks.
Do you still need this. I saw the comment but then couldn't find it again 🤦♂️
@@VRCauldron Hi, no worries 🙂 I can just about touch the ground! 🤣 When I finished building it I was '...I'm too bloomin short to ride that!...' luckily a good choice of shoes helped out 😂
@@alexlee3671 haha glad it worked for you
How do you change the modes
If you ordered this in Euros and it is shipped to the UK, will it be delivered to my address even though it says 750w motor and not 250w motor?
They will deliver 750w bikes to the uk since they're not illegal to own
Thing is, great as it looks, it only takes one switched on plod to collar you and you've lost it, we should be able to have and use these, but the current shitty legislation say we can;t use em on public roads, do I risk getting one for my commute, would love to, but whats the risk if im yoinked
Where did you get the rear seat for the ebike?
Amazon. Link below 👍
How fast can you go when using only pedal assist? The rules in Denmark are a bi strange. You can have as big a motor as you want to, bit the throttle may only assist to a max of 25 kmh. Or you could say, that it may only go 25 kmh in pure electric mode. So if you disable the throttle, you can go at a max of 45 kmh, as long as it's through pedal assist.
Wow that is odd. Pretty sure pedal assist takes you the same speed as the throttle. It definitely can do 45kph. But i don't think you can make the throttle less you'd just have to unplug it
This is not the upgraded version?? Would have thought so cause of the video upload date
it seems the same as what's availabl on their website.
Love all these new bikes, but does really matter in Hawaii cause no one ships to Hawaii. Just think if you had this virgin market!
AliExpress will ship this to Hawaii.
Why does England ban the throttle? I don't any good reasoning behind that arbitrary law. The throttle is so much easier to control speed
I know! Annoying isn't it
Foldable 😁👍
Ha yeh usa roads....I just bought one.Came with screws missing and the wrong colour.Bloody bright orange.Seller in poland wasnt helpfull offered me no exchange for the right colour and said its too difficult to send back...Great....So im getting black film and am going to wrap it.i also have removed the mud guards and i have a set of bmx bars stem and waiting for that to come.Then soon il get the 1500watt upgrade the kit is £1000 but gives you everything you need.goes like a rocket then.
Sounds awesome let me know how that goes. Did they at least give you a partial refund?
Hi I can't find any website that delivers to the UK for this specific bike please help.
it seems to be in stock on their eu site from a uk warehouse
@@VRCauldron nope..entered my UK address and keeps giving me address entered wrong so I'm guessing they don't deliver.
@@jesusisking5952 there seems to be 2 versions of the same bike on their site. One has (uk) in brackets on it. I've put a link to it in the description in case you were on the wrong one.
Hi is this a restricted uk version if brought uk
No it will be 750 watts
i would prefer a foldable bike as it would fit in my garage 🚲
i think i might get one soon to go to college on
Good idea!
I like that bike. I'm thinking it doesn't draw attention, unless you ride it like a mad man 😂
yeah bikes are stealthy unlike escooters.
Where did u get the seat from for your child?
Amazon
Really interested in buying one but as they are illegal don't know how the police are going to be.
Obviously it can depend on the infividual officer but generally police are more interested in people being unsafe rather than people who have a slightly bigger wattage than is allowed.
I'm stuck in my 4mph limited electric wheelchair until someone comes out with a 15mph fart assisted trike!
now that would be awesome to harness that power.
"Cheap" maybe for you bro✌️
is this bike waterproof?
Not totally but it can go through puddles and cope with heavy downpours. Just don't ride it through a lake
Gonna get 1 good 4 your health
Illegal in my country...
all ebikes?
@@VRCauldron They must only drive up to 25 kph in Denmark. Some up to 45 kph, but then you need to be 18, or have a driver license. The fast ones also comes with a lot of new rules, so they are not so flexible, for every day use
Illegal in the UK too. Lucky this video was in the US.
again sponsored review?
Again?
