I also have a Vanpowers Manidae, it's been at the bike shop for a couple of months now. The front fork seized and I can't get Vanpowers to send me a new fork. They have asked me to find a fork and put it on and they will pay for it, but we are not able to find a fork that works without replacing the front rim as well. At this point, I just told them to send me a new Manidae. Their customer service is clearly not the greatest as I now have a bike I haven't been able to ride since last year. The bike only has 53 miles on it. I hope you don't have an issue with yours.

Scott, great video. Off topic question for you. What are your thoughts between cadence and torque sensors?

Thanks Jim. I like them both. I do like how a cadence sensor is more just a “plug and play” type setting. You know in PAS 3 you are going to go a certain speed. But, with a torque sensor, I feel you are more connected with the bike and can control how fast you go by how hard you pedal. I’m just blessed to have both.

Thanks for the ride.i liked that you didnt sugar coat the hill tests.i think the softer launch is a good idea over and above too fast a launch.why? The rider is less liable to take chancey take offs and getting killed or injured ,this is not a negative,its a positive, limitations are a benefit in this case.,i think the hill tests are a negative re low initial torque through out the range?bike is tough looking,inspires confidence,fat tyres great for additional ride comfort.less rolling resistance and better torque results in skinnier smoother treaded tyres,less weight carrying capacity and firmer ride,but better performance and better range,and higher speeds .thanks for a great review.

Nice video and test but the reason why its kicking off slowly is because you are not using the gears correct it should be in number 4 or 5 when you are starting off and then when you hit 10 mph you switch to 6 and you keep doing that until its hitted gear 8 and if you do that you will have a much smoother ride

I do mentioned it... twice. I talk about how it is not really helpful and doesn't work in my situation. Unless I am riding down a mountain doing over 20mph and applying the brake, it's not going to regenerate at all. Even then, the power it would put back to the battery is not enough to make a difrerence. It's a great idea but it falls way short in reality.
@neilcollier9417 Ай бұрын
Yeah I hear you horses for courses I guess, if we're not doing hills up and down constantly it has very little input, I was impressed on one video I watched the guy go up this mountain and it fully regenerated on the way back down, so guess yes it's an excellent idea to have but not a deciding factor on purchasing, thanks 👍

Agree with you on torque, but there is things they need fix, those default crank shafts are very bad quality, a lot people, myself included lost one pedal just after few weeks of riding cause those threads will be eaten away and then your pedal will just fall to ground one day. Also must mention those fenders, they are awful, making sounds when you drive and a lot of people had accidents with them by fender coming loose and wedging on wheel making biker crash, luckily had no accidents but removed fenders because of noise they make. Also would be nice to have an actual full gas throttle on RIGHT side of handlebars, not thumb one on WRONG side :)
@scotthardesty Жыл бұрын
This is the updated version. they changed how the fender are now, mine do not go down and touch the frame as the old ones did. They also make no noise at all (you would have heard it in the video). I haven't put enough miles on it to experience the crank/pedal issue but I am hoping they had also fixed that with this new mode. Did you know you can replace your thumb throttle for a half twist throttle. I have seen a couple of YT videos on how to do it.

I'm puzzle as to why you pretty much ignored the regenerative braking feature on this bike. I mean you did mention it but just barely. You could have demonstrated it on that hill that ride up and down multiple times or on the range test you could have turned it on to extend your range whenever you coasted on a slope. Its flat terrain where you live but extremely hilly where I live which is why I'm considering buying this bike. As much hill climbing as I have to do I wanted to know if the regen feature would help out some of that power back on the downhills. I have a 350w class1 ebike already but it barely helps on the steep hills around here. A throttle is not an option on my bike either.
@scotthardesty 11 ай бұрын
I personally don't feel you get enough regeneration from the bike to make a valid reason on why someone would purchase it. I also do live in the mountains or someplace where I can coast down a hill for miles just to get a little juice. I did some research before this review and hadn't seen a single review showing that it was a benefit.

To be honest, I don't like this company. I purchased the same model one year ago, which had a 13 AH battery and a different display that didn't show the accurate percentage of battery. The display always showed a high level between 50% and 100%, and dropped drastically when the battery level was below 50%. This made it difficult for me to estimate the real battery level. Additionally, their customer service is very poor. When my moving company broke the display, I contacted them to get a replacement, but I never received the package. I have been waiting for over 6 months! Overall, the basic specs of the ebike may be great, but it fails to satisfy me.

I haven't had the chance to see about their customer support as I have not had any issues with either of the Engwe bikes, but it's always good to hear from those who have dealt with it. Sorry to hear about your issues with them and I hope I don't have to use customer support. They did a lot of updates to the new model as you can see and I don't feel like I have had the same issues that you have had so far. They did get beat up a lot about that older version that's why they updated it.

I bought the newest version of the engine pro few months ago and I had a problem with the kickstand. After sending some emails with videos and photos about what the problem was, they just told me that I will receive a replacement for the kickstand, and the problem was solved. So yeah maybe I've been lucky with that or the costumer service has change idk. And yes what you mentioned about the percentage of the battery feels the same in the new model
