What a beautiful bike, I've got a Trek hybrid that I've cycled up mega hills & that weighs over 14kg, I've also got a Specialized Diverge Elite E5, that weighs around the same as this bike & I absolutely fly up the hills, with the motor assistance you should be gliding up the ascents. Also most of the effort on a bike is getting up to your cruising speed, so being assisted up to 16mph, I would be fresh to go above & hold it.
I've been looking at a Scott Addict eride 20, but can't afford to get it until September. I want it mainly for CTC group rider's, had arthritis in my right knee for about 15 years, and slowly getting worse, i now struggle on hill's. And feel bad the group waits for me to catch up or one of the ride leaders stays behind to help me. For general rides i will keep my gravel and road bikes, because if cycling on my own I'm happy to get off and walk if i find a hill too hard now,
It’s just a shame the uk govt won’t raise the limit . These could be the future of commuting to work and being able to ditch the car . If you fitness just isn’t there or your sick /injured.. I think 20mph would take ebikes from being good to not being able to live without one . Especially road bikes
You can do a remap on this taking it up to 19mph…TBH I don’t need to its just my winter bike just to keep my legs moving over the cold periods and not damaging my aero summer bike 🚴
How can you Compare it to any other E bike’s Road . I’m borrowing my pals Vado sl but I’m pretty sure the minute the motor cuts off it drags . I only want one because I’m due a heart valve replacement. Was Gona get a gain . But thes have more torque. And I’m bigger built guy 95kgs so thinking it will struggle.
@@chillisaucesalad536 Well like a rocket...only in turbo mode but it's more like 'a strong push in your back'.You still need to use your legs too.But for me it's fast enough. Also mine is tuned to around 30km/h. 😃
It’s called fabric not sure the company is still making them last time I called them they had stock issue with the manufactures…but that was months ago so not sure about now
Nice video bud and lovely bike. Quick question, i know you mentioned it can be a challenge to ride after 15mph, however do you at least notice the electric power delivery from 0-15mph in full turbo mode? does it go like a rocket from standstill until the power cuts off? more for stop start journeys around the City of London.
Can I ask, what settings you have for each of the levels 1, 2 and 3? I have a Fazua system and I'm mostly in and out of the 25Km/h range, how good is the taper, do you notice the power drop in and out? How have you found the range to elevation, whats the furthest you've taken it on one charge? Thanks for sharing 👍👍
Hi Alan I have 1 on 45% power, 2 65% and 3 full beans yes the power difference is very noticeable with that setup and going up the hill haven’t done more than 50 miles so far normally do more on the road bike. If you drive in eco 100 or more miles is possible
Riders comments are always the best, thanks. However, bikes reviewers comments on riding ebikes above the cut off speed are somewhat contradictory. I've watched them all and most say that once you have picked up good speed it's no more work keeping that than on an analogue bike. Your take on this seems to be the opposite? I need to commute at a higher average speed than 16 mph, that's why this is interesting to me.
@@DefinedImagery I meant the part that it's a struggle (compared to analog bikes) to travel above the cut off speed. Some say there's no extra struggle and some say there is a lot.
@@simonshusse right I see look at it this way the ebike weight is 10.5kg which is much lower than many and a normal aero bike is around 6-8kg you will notice the weight difference on a hill trust me I know this because my summer bike is 7.9kg and when I ride the e-bike on the same hill I know the difference unless these guys that not notice anything are very good rides aside from that theses guys are not being 100% with people…I have an system six and this bike and no notice oh boy I notice the difference
@@DefinedImagery Great info, thanks again. What I'm looking for is some relief on my commute to work, 40 miles there and back. I guess a bike like this will aid me with hills and headwind, if I coast just under cut off speed. I ride my trail bike at weekends but I have no capacity as a road cyclist, I just want to get to work without draining myself. ^.^
@@simonshusse you have 3 different models so you shouldn’t feel drained but if you want a city by checkout the Go Cycles I have one it’s the best city bike
The bike with EBike power is restricted to 16.5 mph however you can remap it until it goes to 19.5 miles an hour but in terms of top speed that will depend on how good of a rider you are on a flat I have taken the bike to about 30/34 miles an hour and 40 something downhills
HI, Yes I still have the bike i only ride it in the winter, cut off speed is 16.5mph but dont normally say at that speed so its not really used...I am now going to sell it becasue just dont use the power and need to get strong over the winter so need a non eride bike
@@Jas-nd7zl it has now been sold...Unless I get it remapped the 16.5mph is pointless now. I ride a lot faster and on hills it is amazing but not helping my fitness
I still have the System Six its my summer bike…the two bikes are very different ones a race bike and the other is a endurance bike with ebike function, the system six is like driving a Porsche 911 and the Scott is like driving an BMW M4 both are fast and nice but the 911 is an all around sports car and made for sporty driving.
The Mahle motor X20 motor is restricted to 25 km/h in Europe and 20mph in the US (is 32 km/hour). Is there a way to change fromm European restrictions to US restrictions?
Thats a really good question and I would say yes but you will need to get someone that has that level of access to the motor to do so...I have a GoCycle e-bike and is running on the US setup so it should be possible...16mph is good enough for me because I like to work a little in the off-season
"When I'm out with the lads we're averaging 22, 24, 27mph on the flats"...bollocks are ya! Who are you trying to kid. You might do that for a few hundred yards but you're not averaging 27mph over any long distance otherwise you'd be a Pro. Fekin bullshitter 🤣🤣🤣
You may need to adjust your hearing i do that speed on a flat not and average so please quote correctly…thats right I am not a pro but with the pack I am fast we did Box Hill back to Richmond Park in under and hour (just) its around 20miles…so stop taking the piss 🤗

100% up hill you can fly they is a hill near me around 9% normally I can do 9-12mph up the hill but on that bike 16mph all day long 😎✌️
