I’ve had an Ebike for three years Sandy , now I’m able to ride around for exercise and get out and about . I’m 70 so hills and headwinds a lot easier , if I didn’t have an Ebike I probably would be bothered so great for me 😊

My wife and I have just gotten E bikes we have found them really good, I suffer from angina and hight blood pressure plus other health issues, having an E bike has allowed us to get out.

Interesting to hear your thoughts on this, and you do seem impressed. If it enables you to get out and causes less wear and tear on your body, it is a win win.

Well Sandy, I enjoyed this video a lot. To watch from start to finish of the build was nice to see. Than an honest review was refreshing to hear. You in my books deserve this bike. You have put in the miles on a normal pedal bike. Enjoy my English friend, always a joy to watch. Thanks for sharing. Tony.

I have four e-bikes - all foldable for better storage -2 bromptons and 2 Treks - they are shared by 3 family members . You end up doing more cycling with e-bikes and you actually get a lot more exercise as a result . I absolutely love them and anyone at my age should ( 60s ) should just get one . I have spare batteries too and you can go in a long trip with a spare battery and charger because they can haul a lot of luggage - The Bromptons are great for train journeys and exploring cities and the Treks for country tours .They have opened up a great deal of fun for us all . The Brompton is excellent for shopping - you can nip out - walk round a store with it folded or unfolded and get home with provisions without having to drive a 1tone car ,park it and burn fuel . Highly recommended- BTW GREAT VIDEO !!

You are the first person to post a review that includes hills and talks about head winds. As is normal here in the UK we always have winds from the South so its good to hear you talk about them.

The best and most honest review on an ebike thankyou very much

Excellent un-boxing and review Sandy. 👍

Welcomes the E-Bike movement with open arms as it enables health compromised etc to get out in the fresh air, proceeds to drag race it with your mate 😂. Knowledge and entertainment as always, thanks 👍

Thanks for a nice video, excellent review. 👍

Thank you for sharing your video! Cheers!

Very nice review. The bike is great and implies that ebike technology is improving.

im really enjoying your content !!! keep it up !!!

That looks like a lot of fun. Nice transport for enjoying the outdoors. I hope they finish the bike loop around my little town this year. It will make riding here much more enjoyable. I really enjoy all the two wheel fun videos you do here Sandy. It is always very inspirational.

A good useful review I think Sandy, will help someone who's looking to get an E bike.

Just got myself one of these .still having teething problems but so far so good 💚🤣✌️

Hi Sandy, a great start off review. I bought a secondhand e-bike last year (more like Dave's) and i commute as much as I can on it. Leaving at just after 5am and over 10 miles each way. I wanted to cycle but did not fancy 20mile and monster hill after work ! I've now done over 700 miles and love it to bits still ! (I always look forward to my ride home even in the rain). These Eleglide bikes, are cheap and light plus if you needed a second battery (longer range) it makes it more affordable. Also more affordable for more people, which is great news. Well done and look forward to see how you get on. I will do a review on my bike on youtube. But I'm still a little shy of my voice at this stage. Also hat off to your stunt man Dave ! take care Grant.

Interesting video Sandy think e bikes are the future.

We have electric bikes and love them.

Brilliant test and review. Seems very good for the price, I will have to see how my training goes lol.

Hi Sandy,Christmas in March watching you unbox the bike,a good informative road test,as for the head to head with Dave,(Last of the Summer wine).atb Colin P,👍

Loved this vid, very snazzy bike that sandy. I would need a power setting 10 and 4 spare batteries 😂😂 and would need to check the payload lol I’m a big frame 😮. Great to see you out and about sending love to all the family and of course carmen and zeta ❤❤❤

Interesting video Sandy looks like a good bike especially for the price .hope to see you out on your motorcycle soon .keep safe look forward to next adventure

Thanks for the review Sandy. These cheap and cheerful hub motor ebikes are getting better and better.

I enjoyed this review Sandy, So much I bought myself a Citycrosser from eleglide on the strength of how good you felt it performed, I'm not new to e-bikes have been riding back and forth to work for a while!! I've had a full hip replacement a few years back from playing sport, and these bikes allow me to enjoy cycling again!! Thanks for the review 😀👍

Nice bike! One of the best solutions I saw regarding cheaper battery replacement is a Cambridge based company that does Brompton conversions. They use a Bosch 40v 6Ah power tool battery. Expensive conversion though!

I was quite excited to see just the unboxing as last time I got a brand new bike was from saving up money from my paper round 😀 I got a Raleigh Montage and loved it to bits. Amazing bits of kit those E-bikes. I rode one on Orkney and it made the hills a cinch. Only letdown was the range was poor. When disengaged it would make sense for a dynamo function to recharge the battery as you pedal normally

Would defiantly tempt me back into cycling thanks

Nice to see an affordable ebike with normal forks instead of those cheap nasty (and heavy!) suspension forks that most of the bikes in this price range have. I’m thinking this bike may be a good basis for building a nice electric ‘gravel bike’

This is obviously the future. All we need now is a decent cycling infrastructure, and progressive policy.

best review of any bike i seen on utube you cover everything even the Price. brilliant.nice bike for a grand.

I can see me looking into getting an E Bike, they have really improved since I last looked at getting one Sandy

A good review. Very helpful. It made me wonder what you might think of my 20 year old Birdy, to which I added a Bafang mid drive 5 years ago. I'll have to show it to Uffington Hill sometime and send you a report. Many thanks, Al

Very practical looking that, for those days when your legs just don't seem to have allot of go in them.

That looks like it has some great features Sandy. I like the light weight.

Was waiting when you get an ebike. Next going further wild camping with trailer attached 😉

I personally haven't been a big fan of e-Bikes, but as I am in my early 60's and knees hurting a lot, maybe it is time to try a different MTB than a hardtail. I know my wife would like to go on rides with me too. Maybe get her one first and then me. Thanks for the review - very helpful!! Stay safe and healthy!!

Think of all the camping gear you could load up on a bike like that . great video .

I trust that the welds are strong, but that is sloppy welding. I know they build to a certain price point but they could provide higher quality finish. All in all it looks like a great bike! Thanks for the review.

Very intriguing - I’ve been looking at e-bikes sometime. I’d like a general all rounder to nip to the shops, allotment with some pleasure riding etc. nothing to major. Maybe, with the decent rack on the front this may suite. Very nice video & review sandy cheers

good review

With the technology these days ya would think there would be a way of putting some power back into the battery like the light dynamos of yester year as the wheels turn, could almost or actually double the distance if done right. I liked your test and review on this bike bro. Safe travels

Similar style to my ribble e bike , but as you say you still need to peddle which is what I like as this means your still doing a workout . Put a couple of screw self tappers in for the bottle holders . I did a few on my gravel bike. Looks a decent bike for the price Sandy .

I reckon with a rear rack on there you will be set for a camp. enjoyed watching thanks for sharing. Dave obviously knows you well 🙂

It looks a lot less bulky than most e-bikes which is a good thing as if you’ve ever tried to cycle one of the heavier ones when the battery has gone flat is no joke. Good review Sandy many thanks.

good review, tidy bike.

Next time your in dorset sandy, try the ebike on gold Hill Shaftsbury!!!!!

Decent review Sandy, their Trekking T1 model is interesting.

I have a Cube. Only a normal mountain bike, but they're not a bad bike.

Be good if some form of regeneration to the battery could be developed for when the motor isn’t being used.

Need to do what many others have done in Swindon in de restricting the controller to enable 50mph without pedalling. Essentially making it a unregistered motorbike. I don't think our police have picked up on this.

Stick the throttle on it Sandy no one will know 😅 It looks like a great bike.

Really interested in this video Sandy as have been looking at ebikes for a wee while. I was waiting on technology moving forward as they were so heavy before and the thought of being away and the battery running out and having to lug a big heavy bike home!! This one says for 5'4" upwards but I am 5'3" on a good day and having to contend with a crossbar! Maybe I will still grow!! 😂 Short legs and a crossbar is not a good mix.Looking forward to more intesnse reviews. One day hope to get one ❤

Looks good and that price isnt too bad.

“Soon be spring”. We should get t-shirts made. Warm ones.

I had my old electric bike stolen a couple of months ago and I really miss it. I haven't bought another because they are so bloody expensive!

Sandy watch the video AVE just released if you have time regarding batteries it’s a real shocker.

Good price, not sold on an ebike just yet. Can't get a canoe on it.

Nice review Sandy. It looks to be a good bike. I wonder how one of those front wheel electric motors would do on the Revell Romany? I'm trying to imagine the size of the room you keep all your bikes and tents in :-)

wish this fella all the best but PLEASE read this anyone considering buying this bike, this is my first ebike. i haven't even done 20 miles on it and the chains snapped in two. biggest waste of £600 ever.

Hi there, nice review, thank you! I'm 191cm tall, do you think it's big enough for me? I would get a longer seat bar if needed. Cheers!

👍

I love dave 😂😂😂

Random question , as I have one in the middle of being put together. Washers on the front wheel spindle, outside with the nut ? Or inside the fork against the hub. Can't really tell by the instructions 🤣

My ESKUTE Netuno E-bike which paid £1000 for motor failed in less than two month. The 250w bafang motor cogs gear works but does not move the the wheel. Eskute sent me a new motor but both do the same thing. I had the wheel on and off over 6 times now and no luck. The only thing i can think of is some how the motor is going backwoods in freewheel. Maybe some thing wrong with the control. Its been alost two months with out use of it which i need for work. If they dont sort it out soon i been making a credit card charge back. Not great first impression of e-bikes.

Ideal when you get old bones ?

I wonder what its like loaded up with kit.

Just bought one off Amazon for £549 be here in a couple days can't wait no more cramped buses to and back to work 🚴🚴🚴🚴🚴

Seriously considering that bike. I live in Cumbria and so reasonably hilly here...oh, and I turn 70 this year. Would the control thingy on the handlebar stand a rainy day 's ride, do you think?

Being that light you could even ride it around without the battery? Anyway all best from Australia 👍

Hmmm, its quite good but im not sure. Maybe another company should send you 1 more so you can do a best of 3 Ebike comparison? You're gonna be raffling em off for charity at this rate. But seriously, looks good, iv'e recently wimped out and bought myself my first Ebike. I played it safe and went for a Carrera Crossfuse from my local Halfords. Loving it so far. I'm 55, so i reckon iv'e done my time peddling my old Muddy fox ive had since the late 90s.

My son is edging towards ordering one of these and, to be honest, as parents we're a little worried about the safety of the battery - do you know if complies with UK safety standards and testing? Also, does the charger come with a 3 pin plug? Thanks!

Evening sandy do u think u could do a review video of this bike please and im 6ft2 do u think its bikes ok for me ? cheers

Just got an ebike awall mate from the same company

wish i'd of watched his video before putting it together, i have to watch my words but 2 hours later and worse off than when i started. put it all together following the manual and then it says to attach the wired in front light i need to have the basket on, which required taking the front wheel off AGAIN. Mud guard was completely bent and would be impossible to ride without rubbing, i've lost my rag and flung it in the shed. Had enough for one day, going to have another pop tomorrow with just the rack without the mud guard. Also said absolutely zero about max weight capacity when purchasing and the manual states it's 120kg, luckily i'm 105kg. I'll ride without the rack tomorrow, although you say the frames well made the fitting are utter garbage.

Why no throttle control in the UK?🤔

do you know how the batteries of ibikes are made?

Any techical problems? Is suport ok after a while?

Now you can see my motorhome on my channel.

Hello mate sorry to be a pain but can this bike go faster than 15 miles an hour out the box and what's the frottel for please

What gets me about ebike and ecars and battery banks etc is the lifespan of the things. A manual bike can last you for life, a car for life. It's like the wind turbines that have a 20 year lifespan.. where do they go? Turbines have to be buried, can't be recycled and cycle batteries where do they go after 3 to 5 yrs??? How is that saving the environment??

Lovely bike Sandy...but glad I got the Himiway Cruiser, as the heart and Statin drugs caused horrendous damage to my joints and muscles. I love the extra torque on mine, but am well impressed with the light weight frame you have on this one. How did those narrow tyres cope with the slippery mud? Found the fat tyres on mine great and harder to puncture...think mine will help me get out as a cargo bike for my hammock etc, with lots of water included

That's the Bootzipper in the skip then?

I was sold until I looked up its chinese😢. I never buy mechanical stuff from China been burnt too much on motorbike parts. Bad rep in the motor trade too. I'd be interested in its durability over a year, won't hold my breath.

Seems as if e-bike technology makes leaps monthly.

It has no pedal brakes? Only hand brake?? 😳

How tall are you

😂 so on the flat with skinny person- so for a fatty like me 40km full wack. I'm waiting for them to reach accessible prices. I'm not paying for a bike the same as a second hand Jag.

I'll race you

Not another freebie👎

I bet that’s made in China

It has mudguards! I am for anything which comes from stock with mudguards!
