Out of the Box - Episode 4 - ENGWE EP-2 Pro Electric Bike unboxing and review

Рет қаралды 15,566

Жыл бұрын

I was approached by a company called Engwe that specialises in electric bikes. They asked if I would review one of their ebikes on my channel.
I have been thinking about improving my health recently and thought that seeing as I am now over 60 years of age a power assisted ebike could be the answer for me to exercise without putting my body through too much stress.
Little did I know that it would be so much fun that I actually forgot my age whilst testing it out and had a fantastic day of fun, safe in the knowledge that if I ran out of puff, I could just 'power' home.

I've had one for a month now - only been out on it a few times as it has been really wet in the UK. Pros- Good fun, goes well, decent value for money it seems. Cons - Quite heavy, so hard to ride without assist. I'm also still waiting for the extra 16ah battery I ordered as a combo with the bike. Initially promised it would follow after 2-3 days, then it was late Nov, then early Dec. Still no sign :( I've seen a couple of similar comments online from folks with the same problem - it's a bit naughty to sell something that they don't actually have in stock without warning the customer first.

That's a neat looking bike Marty. I bought a mountain bike style e- bike several years ago and my whole family have got a lot of use out of it. My daughters have used it to get to work on the most hot and humid days when you would not want to peddle and I often use it to get to local events that have limited car parking. Just wish mine would fold up like yours so it would go in my car 👍

@denniswhite166 Жыл бұрын

This bike looks to be very sturdy. Much sturdier than your normal electric bike. I guess that's because of it's ability for off road use. The welds on the frame especially look hefty.

@benleydon Жыл бұрын

@@denniswhite166 it's bl00dy heavy lol. more like a little moped -at least twice the weight of a mountain bike. if you get one i can highly recommend taking the battery out if you have to drag the thing up and down 2 flights of stairs every time you use it.

@denniswhite166 Жыл бұрын

If you have to use an extension cord to recharge use one with a very heavy wire, yet as short as possible.

@denniswhite166 Жыл бұрын

@@benleydon I just started looking into it. I have no reason to lift it into an auto. But taking the battery out of it sounds like great advice. I'm in the USA but I don't know if they ship here. It's free shipping in Australia! I would only have to push it up two steps on my back porch into the mud room. Pretty sure I could do that even at my advanced age. The big advantage to me is that mopeds need to be licensed in my state but electric bikes don't.

@markreetz1001 Жыл бұрын

Alas, will we see any more Matchbox makeovers now that Marty has the new bike? 🤨 It's funny you have this bike review on today because another of my favorite channels had an Ebike review on it too. "Farming, Fixing & Fabricating" reviewed a Himiway Ebike. It wasn't a fold up one, but someone posted it was 1600 dollar bike. I see you guys still have telephone poles with glass insulators on them. Great video Marty!🚲

If you use a coiled or spooled or extension cable, unwind it completely. Due to inductance, you can set fire to the coiled cable drum with current drawn through the coil of cable.

Started out not liking this, but seeing Marty “road testing” - “bush testing” it made it very interesting to watch. The drone video footage was great - the operator should be credited (or did I miss that?). Well done!

Hi Marty, just a bit of advise, you should set the saddle a bit higher, your legs don't stretch enough when riding. This might result in muscle pains when riding longer distances because your legs can't stretch enough when riding the bike. Cool bike by the way ;-)

The reason the front brake on a motorcycle is on the right is due to the clutch being on the left. Every bike I've ever ridden, aside from those with a foot brake, has the front brake on the left, and the rear on the right... And that's a lot of bikes!

@rickcrutchlow8073 Жыл бұрын

Don’t what country you’re in but in UK rear brake is always on the left, I never heard of anything else?! Bloody dangerous to change it. Also this e- bike is illegal in UK an Europe, shame.

@Quickened1 Жыл бұрын

@@rickcrutchlow8073 US here, I guess it would be, but the brain adapts pretty fast. One endo from using the front instead of back, and you'll change your tune. Here where I'm at, this bike wouldn't be powerful enough for me, but the RV crowd would love them for the parks. Sadly, I can see why they might not be street legal in many places though...

@davidfawcett4862 Жыл бұрын

Great fun - As others have pointed out - your saddle needs to come up quite a bit and handlebars look a bit high and need to be dropped.

@GT.Bugger Жыл бұрын

I don't think you can drop the handle bar as it incorporates the folding mechanism. A lot of people have swapped them out for bmx bars.

@phil4193 Жыл бұрын

Both motorbikes' and bicycles' brake levers are swapped left-to-right from country to country. As the bike came from a California company, the front brake is on the left. That's how they are in the U.S. You can swap them if you want.

@chezsnailez Жыл бұрын

Learned that from an episode of Happy Days...

@keithschrack Жыл бұрын

Yes, front brake on the left is traditional in North America, but the cables can be easily swapped side-to-side. In most instances, you don't even need to disturb the levers, simply remove and re-attach the cables.
