By far the best review I've seen! When I visit Cyprus (assuming you guys are there) I'll buy you a beer!
I will wait for you my friend!! 😄😁
Thank you. You are the first person i have seen teardown the electrical side of these bikes. Very helpful. :)
Awesome Video . This is how proper reviews should be like . Keep up the good work
Thank you Chris!
Excellent review, very thorough, Engine Pro next please.....😁
Congratulations for the video, my friend. Thank you to share too much important information about the product with us. I did learn a lot of thinks just watching what you do. Cheers!! 😊
This is the review I was looking for before buying this bike. Well done!
Did you buy? How did you find it after a year?
@@adampell1607 Nope, did not buy it in the end. I found a local shop with a good discount on a foldable electric bike, so I just went straight with it!
Thanks for your video, very informative!
Good job. I haven't seen any video with such a check of this bike so far.👍
Thank you mate.. 👍
Fantastic review I’ve subscribed 😎👍
Excellent review much appreciated
Great video! I have seen the same wheels with motor available separately in a few places online. I bought my fat bike used with the wheels in pretty bad shape, so it's good to know this is a reasonable upgrade option. Thanks!
Fantastic review. Thank you.
This is how a review should be
Keep going guys you will be next Jerry rig everything
😄😁 Thank you mate..
Very good review..I like the way you disassembled the battery and checked they are seperated from each other with a plastic spacer and you used a voltmeter to check every battery cell was 3.67 volts.The quality of welding on this bike is very good also as you mentioned.Thanks for making the video.
Muito bom
He visto muchos vídeos de bicicletas eléctricas, pero en ninguno he visto lo que he visto en éste.
Un vídeo técnico que me ha gustado mucho. ✌️✌️✌️
Espero que también destripes de esta manera a la Engine X.
Aunque supongo que serán muy parecidas. Un saludo. 👌👌👌
Great quality review! Only suggestion is no music or quieter music
Fährt sich gut!! mit den Umbauten die du empfohlen hast.
Hab noch Banana Sattel mit Sisi Bar und Bmx Lenker berbaut.
Bequemes fahren.
Better results than I expected.
Me too..
What a test👏👏
I havet that exact same bike, and I love it! I swtiched out the handlebars for BMX handlebars.
Hi, which bmx handlebars did you get and how long did it take to transfer all the wires and buttons?
Oi, como está a bike ??? Apresentou defeitos ??? Obrigado
I eventually sold it, but I didn't have any problems with it. My biggest problem was being afraid someone would steal it and trying to figure out how to lock it up. haha @@tricolor6184
Hello. I just saw this now. I just got generic bmx bars, and it was very simple to move over the wires. You don't need to unplug anything. @@erikthiessen4449
Great tare down video, would like engwe to send you an Engine Pro for a similar review and comparison.
😮 best review ever
Nice teardown! I have one of these bikes on order. I hope their build quality stays the same. I might solder my connectors, too.
Mine is also in waiting of order I don't have soldering equipment etc :(
@@ghilmandilshad9495... você gostou da bike ??? Apresentou defeitos ???

@@tricolor6184 English Please
Thank you very much for this excellent video and really useful informations!
I just bought two of them. One of them sometimes stops pushing and I have to switch it off and on. I think, I have to replace the controller... we'll see...
Oi... qual a sua avaliação sobre as BIKES ???
@@tricolor6184 I drove about 2000km and it is running fine without any problem.
Great video please video on engine pro
Great video
Thanks for this amazing review / teardown of this bike. Would 3 inch tires fit those rims ?
Hi George... i don't know.. sorry friend..
Thanks for your very professional review. Does it have a phone charger outlet?
Hi Trevor.. unfortunately..
Things I've found from owning this:
The front headlight mount is weak, it's mounted with a thin plastic piece that easily breaks off if you push on it from the side.
Think the charger in the video has been updated since this videos publishing, I recieved mine in September and it still had the old one in the video, but there's supposedly an updated one out now.
The bottom key holder easily gets dirt on your keys when riding through dirt.
Edit: 7:21 this model of light cover broke off after a slight bump in the road, my warranty replacement was of a different (hopefully improved) model
So the foam is ta push the controller against the ebike ta keep it cool ..thats a gd idea
What upgraded controller would you recommend for this that would work with the existing hardware?
Nice video! How waterproof is it?
Is fuse not required for the battery pack?
Good day,
Could you please advise me how to master the ENGWE EP-2 PRO bicycle even with 30 degrees of incline, as it is in fact according to the specification it should be mastered without pedaling only with gas?
Thank you
This motor must be manufactured by Qihang? Based on the QH stamped on the rotor. If at all possible, I'd be very interested to see a teardown of the Engwe Engine Pro 750w motor, which I believe is manufactured by Xiongda. Particularly the first generation of the bike with the green colored KD986 display and the grey colored, 4, soft touch button keypad. Specifically to learn about the regen (Engwe calls it "I-ERS") feature and how they accomplish regen in a geared hub motor. Great video!!! Thanks
great review - I just bought one for 720$$.. hoping it's as good as the one you reviewed
Hi.. 720$ used or new?
Gostou da BIKE ???
Good info, the music is killing me,
Good reviews one thing you fitted handle bar stem wrong way round
Hello my friend..can you write me time of the video point?
@@EVCustoms 3.02
Great video, thanks. Engwe support couldn't tell me what the fault was on my bike, error code 35 (Motor phase deficiency) , don't suppose you might know where that fault relates to? No worries if not, that makes all of us including the Engwe engineers. lol
Você conseguiu resolver o problema ???
Got an Engine Pro coming in a week, anything i need to look out for or be aware of? This review was very interesting! Thanks!!
Hi Steth, Only thing you will needed to change is brake calipers and disk brakes..
@@EVCustoms Actually the pro version comes with good hydraulic brakes.
Change the flywheel to an 11 spoke for final gear. Otherwise you'll be peddling like a hamster beyond 20mph with no resistance as OEM is 14 sprockets. The cable operated hydraulic calipers are a cheap enough improvement over the OEM ones..
Best review i watched on internet! Thank you sir... i got second hand older version with 12.8ah version battery but i hope it is the same safe... my only concern is that battery showing on my unimeter 53.1v when fully charged 🤔
Hi friend and thank you.
At full charge it must showing 54.7 Volts, most probably tour battery must be little a bit unbalanced.. make more frequent charges, for example at 80-90% plug it in charge.
@@EVCustoms Thank you sir for reply... i do delivery jobs and every day i charge it fully from 1 bar - almost empty and every time it shows same 53.1v... i think maybe my unimeter is some low budget Chinese model maybe wrong reading or i really have some unbalanced cells 🤔one more thing when i charge it i always disconnect charger as soon as it turns green and wondering if i leave it on green for some time maybe would "balance" something, but i heard overcharging is dangerous that is why i disconnecting charger as soon i notice green.
Hi again.. about to leave on charge the battery... yes and no at the same time, if you have good brand BMS or quality one so yes live it on charger without any hesitation... now if your bms is from low cost no name bms i will not recommend to leave it in charge at night..

Hi, EV! One reported issue with Engwe bikes is that when ridden through mud, the battery lock being on the underside gets contaminated. It would be great if the lock could be closed off with a rubber lid but this requires removal of the key after turning on the bike. Can you suggest a solution?
I fitted rubber mud flaps for the same reason and a piece of DPC under the crank and up to and over the key using zip ties ..no more water or mud issues ..sorted ( and clean shoes
What if I don't do all this soldering
can i wire a home made second battery to the primary one in parallel, and use the same bms to charge, and same charger? Do I get good LG or Samsung batteries, or just use decent generic ones? Are the ones included any good?
Hi... two batteries with same BMS is not recommended, just find second SAME PORT BMS and connect it in parallel, NOTE, connect them when they are at same voltages -+2V
Has anyone got them cables melted or burnt? Got curious.
excuses me ! i have a question? can i use 12.8 AH battery on 13 AH engwe ep 2 pro ?
How I can learn about this throttle activation you did, does it written in the manual?
No is not written in the manuals, i will try to find some time to make one video about that..
Your instructions didn't work for my bike. Did you have that video?
if you take a controller for the engwe engine pro that has 23amp vs the ep2 pro that has 18amp, would it make it just as powerful and give the energy regeneration option to the the ep2? also, what does the display meter "KDS" mean on the controller label?
I have Engwe engine pro and it only has an 18A controller X055-AB002.
I've just had my 7th email from Engwe about a fault with mine. I asked in every email where I can buy parts for replacing what is broken, never got an answer, also they told me the error code I get doesn't exist so I sent them a video, then they said they have no idea what it is. They ended by telling me to take it to a maintenence centre, but they don't know where that might be. Useless. YT is yoour support with this bike. Oh, support@ email didn't even reply, service@ was the one that did not that it helped.
Hi man.. lets try to troubleshoot it here 😄, i am not from support team of the Engwe, but because this channel have to do with repairs we must solve this issue. lets start it here in the comments first by single steps, and if we will need to go deeper i will make WhatsApp or Telegram group for everyone.
What about the brakes- for me the weakest part as I needed to install hydraulic brake to drive safely
Brakes is totally trash... i have change them with Shimano..
@@EVCustoms do you have a link to the ones you got? also maybe a video to this or a similar bike that shows us how to install them as well. thanks, and AWESOME video!
I bought my bike off geekbuying i tested everything tried everything in the world lol. So i have voltage going thru only thing not working is the display. Could you post the link or controller that i can buy for my engwe ep2 pro please and thank you.
Hi... so you need compatible screen?
Would you recommend this or the ADO+?
Unfortunately i never had ADO Ebike..
help i accidentally set the hub magnets setting and now the bike barely runs. factory reset doesn't seem to fix it. 15 is showing as default # for magnets... is that right?
Hi... i don't remember this setting, but it must bee much more from 15... i will try to find same motor and find out..
If I remember correctly the magnet setting should be 12. Let us know if that works.
i have the exact same bike but my controller is smaller than the one youve shown. its rated the same at 18a but its smaller in size. is that a good or a bad thing?
Hi Ramsey.. smaller..? are you sure about that? if yes you must find way to cool down your contriller..
@@EVCustoms yeah mine is tiny, yours was alot longer.
if it's not with the keys, you still can ride the bike with your legs?
Yes you can, but at 60+lbs these bikes are very much a workout to pedal unpowered.
This review / training is among the most informative for the power systems... HOWEVER - for 36 minutes we are subjected to perhaps the single worst bike-porn music ever perpetrated against the teacher. I am VERY grateful for the training. Until today, I never felt compelled to advise about the NEGATIVE VALUE of a music choice. 36 MINUTES! Uhg that is bad.
You put handle bar stem on backwards..
😄😅 Yes now i fixt it back ..
I bought the same bike...my battery had a lot of scratches like yours and i made only 30/35 km with one full charge...i think they gave me an used battery.
Hi Marco.. same brand ENGWE? because there exist many companies with exactly same frames..
Yes i bought it on engwe official site...next summer i'll buy the 16 ah battery cus this 13 ah is not good...i reload it each 20 km
@@marcoraffaele2117 Hmmm.. maybe you need balance in your batteries
That's normal for me when the bike is fully loaded. I get 23 miles on my 13ah battery, that's with mostly level 5 pedal assist or just plain old throttle use on the long stretches for a mini rest. I'm an incredibly lazy rider, these bikes weigh a ton. There's me (105kg), bike is nearly 40kg, spare 16ah battery, spare puncture kit, spare pump, tools for wheel & tyre removal, rain poncho, tyres have 250ml's of Weldtite puncture cream each it all adds up, they're like tanks and we love them for it. lol BTW, my battery indicator still reads 100% when nearly empty so an iffy controller but I don't care, just go by miles. Finally, the 16ah battery is only a minor improvement on distance, hence why I use the 13ah first, the 16ah will always get me home, these beasts are no joke under pedal power!!
😆😀
beware engwe sent me defective x26 with stuck batt engwes fix was to tell me to pry out batt with screwdriver and sand a brand new ebike 🤪🤯 or to take to shop pay $300 and wait for a check. engwe also asked me to lie via email.
I paid $729 for mine.
😳😳 Are you sure? Same model? same battery?
@@EVCustoms Yes, it was on sale for 3 days. It's up to $900 now, and even that price is only good for 3 days.
You are so lucky.. 👍

Oi... qual a sua impressão???
WARNING: !!!! Bought mine in 2020 so I didn't have to use public transport in London. I have ridden it almost every day, a round trip of about 5 miles, and I would fold it and keep it in my house when not in use.. Today, as I was about to head home, the frame snapped just behind the hinge. The bike is now in two pieces and nothing more than a pile of junk.
Oh jees. So you bought literally the same model ?
@@alekskroskin6101 I doubt they’ve changed the alloy the frame is made from. So I’d have to say yes, it’s the same.
Omg 😲how did that happened? Soft metal? What does Engwe support say about that?
@@Peter_Sweden When you fold the bike, all the front end weight is on the area behind the hinge, yeh, when it snapped you could see the alloy the frame is made from is pretty cheap soft metal.
Get it welded! Cheap to have done!
why is the battery so bad
if you ride in speed mode 5 and go 40km/h, the bike will die in 15 minutes lol
Hi.. you must check your battery..
There are 10-15 of engwe bikes. And it's all broken. Brake system display, chains, footrest, motor, controller. Nothing remains intact. Service support is unbelievably bad. They cannot solve problems. The Chinese company sells bikes for cheap, but definitely don't buy it. Bicycles break down in the rain. I don't know what to do, I think I'm going to throw it all away.
My ado a bike a500watt battery 48/20amper spedd max 50/55 kmh
Very good review! That is how it should be done.
Do you know if there is any upgrade controller that could give it some more torque and speed?
Thank you my friend, about controller you can connect any 48V controller with limit max at 31Amps, for example from Votol controllers the EM30S is perfect, but there you need more space..
Thanks! Do you know how much increase that will have?
Because Votol controllers have flux weakening you can prohram it to get more RPM, but there you will drain much more amperage..
