Choosing the right ebike can be a daunting task, what battery size is best, do you need a folding bike or do you want a bike to commute to work rather than using a car or public transport?
This video highlights the options you'll face looking at ebikes and will, hopefully, help you understand what each option means to the type of ebike that will best suit your needs.
Here are the links to the dedicated review videos for all the ebikes show in this video:

Thank you John. I found it interesting to see your collection and hear all about the tech specs. I would love incorporated in one of your videos tips to keep your bike safe whilst, say, parked up outside the shop. etc.

Excellent video John! This was really informative and has helped my decision making re which bike to get as I've been looking at several of these bikes recently. Thank you! 😀

That was hugely informative John ; you really do these reviews so well. Will you touch on battery safety in a future bike update as it seems fire safety officers are becoming concerned with the increase in battery fires. Thanks for sharing. All the best to you and particularly, Mandy.

@GadgetJohn 10 күн бұрын

Batteries are 100% safe, it's the user that's the issue. As long as you use the charger supplied with your bike then you'll be fine.

Thank you for a great video. We are thinking of a buying an e bike as a family one to use in the van. We range from 5’5” to 5’10” but overwhelmed with the choice. We work in a brand new office building with purpose built huge bike store with showers, hot cabinets for drying and storage for helmets etc The only thing is e bikes are prohibited as they can’t get insurance to store them ! It’s a minefield and so much choice out there at not inconsiderable cost. I thought the throttle ones were not legal here and you are supposed to disconnect them in the UK or have I got confused (doesn’t take much to do that)

@GadgetJohn 7 күн бұрын

It’s 100% legal if the throttle only powers the bike to walking pace without peddling. But the law is changing and soon it’ll be fine using throttle without peddling.

Very interesting, I am looking forward to your "extras" video. As I have told you already, I bought the Hygge bike, Can you maybe tell/show how to fit the throttle and maybe explain all the things on the control panel. Lots of things on it I really don't know/ (understand) . I am very pleased with the bike and like the fat tyres. Thank you again for sharing all these videos. ATB

Interesting vlog and such a choice. Where do you store them all? 😊 I chose a Giant Roam e bike due to the hybrid style and larger wheels. Very happy with it.

@GadgetJohn 9 күн бұрын

I rented a unit to store them in order to make this video. I only have 1 of these bikes myself, the rest are now gone.

Thanks for providing this useful insight into the myriad of options with eBikes 🤯 Am looking forward to your upcoming episode on panniers etc. as that is key to our future use case - hopefully replacing one of our cars with an eBike for local shopping runs. But does say a 24" wheel give the required road clearance for a decent size pannier...? Also have you tried towing a trailer with any of these bikes ? Anyway keep up the great reviews, and I hope that Mandy is doing ok with her treatment... 🙏 ATB

@GadgetJohn 10 күн бұрын

Anything over a 20 inch wheel is fine with panniers on the back and I haven't used a trailer myself but I have seen other use them and they fit to any of the bikes shown.

@geoffcampbell7846 10 күн бұрын

I enjoyed that John, thank you. I guess each bike has its niche considering the range of different applications for terrain, distance and carrying capacity, but out of this wide range of bikes, which would you think of as the best all-rounder? Or putting it another way, which would be your go to bike to load up for a touring holiday/adventure covering many different terrains? 👋🇬🇧🇪🇺🇺🇦

@GadgetJohn 10 күн бұрын

It’s 50 / 50 between the new Mirider & the hygge vester. I’ll see if Mirider can put together a package more suited to the rough track adventures I prefer, until then the bike that’s in my van is the hygge.

@rikimaru1007 10 күн бұрын

My ideal bike would be cargo style, so i can go to cheaper supermarkets to lower my food budget. I can't walk as far as i used to, due to bad ankle and knee.

@GadgetJohn 10 күн бұрын

That's a really good point, so having the rear rack with panniers would be ideal.

@Hazmatti 10 күн бұрын

Engwe do a nice cargo style bike, the L20 , it has a rack at the front and back, step through so easy to get on and off

@GadgetJohn 9 күн бұрын

Most of the fat tyre bikes are cargo bikes.

@paulbryant4965 10 күн бұрын

Very interesting comparisons John. We have a motorhome with no garage so looking to add a bike rack on the rear wall or a tow bar version for 2 bikes. How much weight is saved by removing the batteries for transportation as obviously the racks have weight limits?

@GadgetJohn 10 күн бұрын

The batteries weigh between 4kg and 10 kg, depending on the battery range.

There's a link in the video description to each bikes review and within those individual review videos you can find the purchase links and any discount codes.

I have watched your videos John but what’s better at going up hills in your opinion, the red Engwe engine x or the pvy z20 max with that dual battery, thanks.

You’re missing a few sizes & designs…no purple, brown, yellow…? Thanks for sharing.

@antghale 10 күн бұрын

Morning John, When riding the different size bikes, is there any difference between wheel size and tyres in control or stability. Tony

@GadgetJohn 10 күн бұрын

The bigger the wheel the better the stability generally, it depends how confident you are, tyres are mostly the same until get onto mud or harsh gravel.
