Lectric, Aventon, Wallke, Gforce, Magicycle, Engwe, Heybike, Rattan and more…See which ebikes have the most power out of 19 different Ebikes!
This video will show which E-bikes have the most power out of these 19 different ebikes and I hope it helps you make an informed decision on which ebike might be right for you if you were on the fence about power differences!
As you can see tho even the 500w e”E-bikes did well up the hill with just a little bit of pedaling.

It takes more power to move a heavier bike. Bigger and bigger batteries are heavy, full suspension is heavy, wide tires and rims are heavy. These big fat tire bikes rarely see any off-road but their weight (70+lbs. and more) definitely makes riding them slowly or moving them around the garage way more difficult. I have a Ride1Up Core 5 and even with a 48v 10.4AH battery I can go 30-45 miles and it’s light enough to ride like a regular bike with no power on flats. My friend has a big fat tire bike and I’m amazed at how heavy it feels and forget about riding it without assist.

Great video! I would love to see the Heybike Cityscape, Ranger, and Mars all make attempts to see where they all fare. It seems many of the fat tire bikes are not able to accelerate up to speed quickly enough on your short straight away in the grass due to all that additional rolling resistance. That's why I suspect the thinner tire Cityscape may punch above its weight in terms of its 350w motor since it'll have less rolling resistance. Looking forward to seeing that!

I can disagree with that to some extent but if you have the perfect bike already and was thinking about throwing a mid drive on it then yes you are correct that’s probably your best bet. If you don’t already have a bike that you’re happy with, Depending on the style of bike you’re looking for there are some great options out there for around $1000. for example the GeForce T 42 was recently $800 after the coupon code which is crazy cheap in my opinion. There’s a link in the description of my video to it but not sure if the coupon is still available or not.

Great video! I liked the choice of the grass hill as I think that really gives a good worst-case scenario. I thought the comparison with the normal bicycle was really great too. I feel like a lot of these ebikes are going to suffer from lack of parts availability as they age. I could be wrong but I didn't see any that seemed to have the standard 26" rims used for decades in the most common bikes such as low-end mountain bikes and touring bikes. Even the ones you showed with the 20" rims (same diameter as BMX) seem to have a wider tire so I wonder whether the rims are standard at all. Also some of those e-bikes just look massive in terms of weight. Imagine having to carry one of those up the stairs/overpass to get to the other side of the train station to catch your train!

@seniorsouthwick976

Given all the variables and the fact that you chose a grassy hill, I can’t see the value of this comparison. All bikes should have been charged fully and unused prior to test. A paved incline would have helped level the traction disparities also. Maybe having your son time a fixed distance in the test climb/run would bring additional value. And then, as another poster mentioned, a final chart with the results by bike design, classification & weight. For those who are considering a folding bike for transport, know that some models have gotten to the point where the weight and bulk when folded are pretty difficult to lift and load into an SUV. I bought the Lectric XP Premium, which has 2 batteries and a claimed range of 100 miles, and as a retiree at 5-11 and 225, I find it almost impossible to lift and load alone when it is folded. Although the 80 lb. weight may seem manageable to many, when it is folded, it just becomes a very big bulky contraption with no convenient lift points when lifting alone. Looking back, maybe should have just bought a lighter weight full size to have the increased stability, comfort, and efficiencies that come with larger wheel diameters and traditional frame designs. Most of these fold-ups are using very thick heavy metal construction to regain the rigidity lost in a fold-up design. And lastly, most of the popular KZfaq reviews are compromised by kick-backs so after narrowing down your preference, find a dealer or someone who owns the model and check it out in person. Kind of embarrassing to have a fold-up that needs to be trailered or racked.

All the batteries were fully charged except for the Magicycle which I mentioned but didn’t matter because it had the most power anyway. And you make some good points that’s why I mentioned in the beginning of the video not to base your decision fully off this video alone and that there are many other factors you should consider before buying an electric bike. Thanks for your input that was one thing I was going to mention in my future video I talked about. Cheers.

I really appreciate the effort you put into this video. A lot! What it tells me that most 500W - 750W e-bikes are virtually the same. Not a lot of difference. Yes, there are style differences, etc but when it boils down to getting you over that hill throttle only, they all perform mostly identical. I have the original Lectric 1.0. Been a fantastic worry free bike. I'm kinda looking for my next bike. However, your video has just told me all these new bikes are not really going to outperform what I have to any great degree. Personally, I would be looking for a substantial improvement. You have helped me now to look in a new direction whatever that may be. I'm guessing the torque of all these motors are similar. You helped educate me further. Thanks very much.

Good video. Man, I was really considering the Engwe EP-2 because the price with an additional battery is really good. $1100 with 2 13ah batteries is just a really good deal. But I went with the Lectric bike since I live in Phoenix and can go down and test ride all of them. It's nice knowing it isn't using so much electricity since while camping it will be draining my solar setup and has roughly the same amount of power as the Engwe. I went with he xp 3 cause it was a better deal, but man was the light fun to ride. Carried me around no problem just not having any gears to worry about just made it seem so much fun to ride. I would have bought it, but once you factor in buying the stuff it doesn't come with, it's not cheaper than the bigger bikes.

Your testing really shows that not all motors are made equal. I was especially impressed with the Vitalin with how much that bike costs. The Lectrics are also very well made motors and their 500W motors seem to be almost as good as some 750W bikes. The XP 2.0 (500W) can really rip after some tweaks to the settings! I'm ~140lbs, I thought I'd eventually want more power after getting my XP 2.0 but it's actually plenty of power for me! =)

I agree it has plenty of power for a 500 watt bike and outperforms most 500 W bikes. The electrics are you going to be excellent for most people and most people will not be going up hills like this LOL. The higher wattage bikes are nice though for maintaining a faster speed when traveling and you hit a hill the lectric will do the hill just at a slower pace.

another factor is the controller amperage may vary across bikes, leading to different performance with similar if not identical motors. It's the phase amps that influence hub motor torque for a test like this. Some manufacturers give the 750W motor a 25amp controller and they will peak at 1300 watts, and then it's a completely different beast. The wheel size will have a big impact as well, those 26" wheels are at a disadvantage climbing.
@colinriches1519
@colinriches1519 Жыл бұрын
The wattage of the motor isn't a good indicator of the power of the system. Multiply your voltage by how many amps the controller pulls to find the wattage going through the motor. At best, brushless hub motors work at about 90% efficiency. To find your power, multiply volts by amps and then the answer multiply by 0.9 to accommodate efficiency losses. That will tell you the real power of the bike.
@JeremiahMcintosh
@JeremiahMcintosh Жыл бұрын
That’s not always true because even if some bikes have a larger controller the bikes can be programmed from the manufacture at a lower amp output. I have seen this on a few different bikes where adjusting that amperage in the settings doesn’t make a difference because they have it set to a specific output and that’s why I like doing these tests.

They all seem comparable based on motor watts and weight. I built a mid drive ebike with a kit and put it on a 26inch mt bike with disc brakes and its a freaking beast. It would climb that hill like a goat with no pedaling. I have a heybike with 500 watt motor and a BPM Imports 750 watt, both rear hub motors and they are both cool bikes but the mid drive kicks butt on both of them. The 750 wat rear hub kicks butt on the 500 watt bike as expected. You get what you pay for and I have to add getting a more expensive bike is probably worth it. They skimp on important things like the quality of the battery and its components, look at battery ebike fire videos on youtube then decide if you want that cheap ass ebike. I'll pass.

@@jstar1000Most of the home build bikes are based sub $500 bikes with $1500 kits on them. But no bike manufactured is going to do that. SO when you say "comparable" your not being truthful. If they are going to build a Mountain E-bike, it will be based on a $2500 full suspension bike. Well, then get a Luna X2 for $4200. If they are going to build a commuter a Ride one up Prodigy for $2300. "cheep" hub drives, the Core 5. Really cheep, the Hypers from Walmart. And I get it, cheep bikes can do a lot of what a "expensive" bike can do, My Axum was $230, and rides a lot like my $1000 Cannondale Trail. But they are NOT the same bike, not even close. Now if someone would provide good frames, I may be interested in build my own, but I think you will find there is not much of a savings.

I think with the Engine Pro, you want to be using PAS only, not using the throttle at the same time. I have an EP-2 Pro and there's definitely no power limiter when using PAS only because it flies up hills with me pedaling on level 5 PAS. Can get up to around 24-25mph up the hill leading to my house (probably around a 13% grade). I do have to put in a bit of work to maintain that speed, but I don't mind. It's a good workout 😄

The same starting point and similar line was good, and think the only thing I'd add is to place a measuring reel on the grass so you could document how many feet the bike went. I like that the test was on grass, as that's what most hills I climb are made of. The Lectric XPremium was disappointing, but people often don't realize that the torque of a mid drive is measured at the unit output shaft. What you actually get at the rear wheel is less. What percent grade is that hill, by the way?
