Engwe X26 - 50 mile review
Vložit

- The X26 is a vey capable backroad traveler. Has no problem handling fields and unpaved roads and paths. I was skeptical about a "folder bike" being able to handle the rough terrain out here but have seen no structural issues with it at all.
I will probably replace the pedals since I don't intend to fold it up. But this one is a keeper for me.

Good review just subd 👍
I have an Engwe I've put 1200 miles on my X26 in 8 weeks
But I prefer long distance pedaling from the rear seat - beach cruiser style , works ok with a aftermarket 130mm handlebar headstock extension to give laid back riding position. pump rear shocks up around 120 -150 psi depending on terrain for extra damping.
I like the Engwe cruise control when initiated holding up button 3 seconds, cruise also keeps it below 200 watts @ 9-10 mph in eco/ normal pedal assist mode 👍
X26 Problems in 8 weeks hard riding =
1. auxiliary cross bar battery rattle if not stopped leads to battery self-destructing - the terminals disintegrate. fix = wrap 50mm gorilla tape around front of battery to eliminate rattle. order new terminal block from Engwe!!
2.Main seat post Battery drops when riding over rough terrain = leading to connection bottoming out on frame and battery connector self destructing because it passes the minimum height setting😬
fix= order new battery connector from Engwe
prevent battery bottoming by putting a stop bolt underneath the battery just above it minimum height setting 🤦
3.standard 26x4 " fat tyre inner tubes are very prone to punctures ,had 4 punctures in 2 weeks 😬
fix = installed heavy duty 6mm thick motorcycle inner tubes , so far NO more flats in 6-700 miles 🤞
Nice review, and beautiful area.
Thank you. Its a great place to ride.
Nice video 👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Neat bike. I do RAGBRAI ( bike ride across Iowa), I'm really surprised that these companies that market these bike don't include ( in my eyes the most crucial safety item) a mirror tethered to the front left fork or the front left handlebar. It's critical to always know what's behind you at all times. You guys rock!!!
I used to ride a lot, did some triathlons. But never worried about a mirror because I could hear a car coming. I might put a mirror on these bikes because the big knobby wheels definitely make some noise
Wow! What fun!
Thank you very much for sharing Take care
Damn, that's one of the nicer looking e-bikes I've seen, but sounds like it's not a good option for us lil dudes.
It is definitely on the larger side.
Awesome review! I just my x26 delivered a few days ago. Does it have a way to show the percentage of battery you have left while you’re riding? I haven’t been able to locate it if it does.
Mine shows percent at the very top of the screen
@@breakheartorchard4761 ok. I’ve seen that, but I’ve ridden 20+ miles at a time and it still shows 100%. So I attributed that percentage to the console percentage.
@@slloyd25 i rode last week for about 14 miles and did about 15 today without a recharge. Didn’t have to go to the reserve battery but was down to 42’% when I got back. Are you riding flat ground? And how much throttle vs assisted pedal?
@@breakheartorchard4761 I'm using sport mode, pedaling about 60 percent of the time, and engaging the throttle about 40 percent. I get the power up to about 1100W until i get up to about 24MPH, then i relax it and repeat. The terrain has about 15 large hills, and plenty of flat spots also.
what should i say to my dad to convince him thats safe and it would be so good to have one engwe x26?
hello just curious do you recommend the heybike brawn over the X 26? great review
It depends on some factors. I love the brawn. It is a great bike. But, at 6,2” it is just slightly undersized for me. Inseam 34. I just feel like I cant the full range of motion that I need. I love everything else about it.
Now, the X26, I didn’t expect to like it because I had seen some other reviews that focused on the the limited range of the triple suspension and the quirkiness of the folding feature. But every ride, I like the X26 more. No, it isn’t a bad ass full suspension that you could use on big downhill drops, but on dirt track or backroads, it soaks up the bumps more than any other I’ve ridden. It has huge battery life and its big enough for my frame. It all depends on what you need.
Thanks for the info.@@breakheartorchard4761
Are there any front dog mounts for this bike?
I have no idea
50 miles is not near enough test to give a review on an e-bike for sure .!. That's just one day.
Good afternoon!In my engwe x26, the sport mode turns off automatically after 5-10 minutes.Am I married?The store said that this is how it should be and is not repaired under warranty.I am very interested in how you are doing?Does this sport mode turn off automatically or not?
I have not experienced that. Are you on the throttle the whole time?
I haven’t ridden in a while so it’s possible I just didn’t notice. I may take it out this weekend just to check it out.
@@breakheartorchard4761 I don't step on the gas all the time.The bike can stand still and the sport mode turns off after 5-15 minutes.
This is awesome! I love that bike! Congrats on your channel, lots of positive vibes from FL! I wonder what names those bike will be given by wife? Love your family! I'll text you private.
Thanks Jorge. I hope the tropical weather is good for you guys. Its been crazy hot here.
So does the bike have gps as well so you don’t get lost
The bike does not have GPS.

Matthew 9:20-22
King James Version
20 And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment:
21 For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole.
22 But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour. Gods blessings over you .
So sick of freaking e-bike and solar power stations reviews...
You really should try one.
Should probably stop watching them and watch something else....
Don't watch then ...simple!
So. Change Channel for cavemens life
