My wife and I have a pair of mirider one's, which we love but our only real bugbear is the small wheels on busy roads so this new bike may be just the job for us. Thanks for your review.
Great review of Miriders latest bike looks the part with the new 24” wheels. Suits someone of your stature better rather than the 16” wheels. Already spent a fortune on two MiRider Ones which suits us and our van.
I like it a lot John, its a great mix of build quality and innovation, plus that lovely orange and black paint job. For some reason the link to their site is down at the moment, so I'll be checking it out later. Thanks for a great review, and that glint in your eyes is clearly a sound recommendation that this is worth a look. Maybe with some offers on it at the spring NEC show might see me sat on one. Cheers, 👋🇬🇧🇪🇺🇺🇦
Not sure why the link isn’t working for everyone, I’ve checked at it’s working now and has had a lot of others click on it. If only technology was as reliable as this bike 🤷🏼♂️👍🏻🤦🏼♂️
An informative review. I have two questions that I hope you can answer: 1) Would it cope with a 20° incline? 2) Is there some sort of walk assistance, for those occasions when a hill climb is too much for me?
It does have walk assist and it’d make it up a steep hill imho as I’ve ridden the smaller version up & over loads of mountains, including stelvio pass, but you’ve got to be peddling and putting in the power yourself to get the electrical assistance too.
@@GadgetJohn I'm just glad you still rate them, with all the other bikes you've been reviewing lately and with you selling your originals, I thought you'd gone off them. Mine fits nice and snuggly folded in it's bag in my T6 VW Transporter on my double passenger's seat 👌
Can a phone holder be attached to handlebar? Couldn't see if space was available. Normally I would get a bar extender but looks like no room on this one.
Great review John thank you. One question: If no one was in your front passenger seat do you think it would be OK to travel with the bike between the front seat and the glove box with front wheel and saddle off? I have a Boxer van conversion.
Hi John, Great video review of the Mirider 24”gb3 i wondered if you would recommend it over the Cryrudher Kommada or Ovia for build quality, ride comfort , after sales , warranty , cost also the Mirider 24” standard option as it is around £1000 less than the gb3 version
Thanks for a great review of a very good looking and well thought out 🇬🇧 ebike 👍 Yes it is more expensive than many of its chinese competitors, but you can see where the extra money has been spent - including the extended warranty.
Hi John. Hope all is well mate. Love this bike .I don't suppose you did a real time range test? Be interested to know wether it got anywhere near the claimed 65 miles
Due to weather & hospital time I only managed to clock up around 30 miles but the battery was only at 60% after that distance, so I'm confident you'd get 65 miles or more from the battery
Another great review and like how you showed how you can fit it in your van, nice. Bit off topic but noticed the storage pockets on your rear doors. Don't suppose you'd have a link to them please. Take care stay safe both of you❤️❤️
The shoe storage pockets are from Amazon, there’s a recent video showing the interior of my van & you’ll see all the places I use these pockets. amzn.to/4aSubAN
Hi John, hope you both keep well? Now that's a cracking bike! curious how long it was with the wheel removed as that would be a great option for me if it fitted in my van!
I’m guessing if you take the overall measurements I gave in the video, you’d take off half the 24” wheel, so it’d be 12 inches shorter roughly. I don’t have the bike to measure it now.
That’s interesting. Will have to wait to get our new van but I find the mirider gb3 quite bulky to store whereas this is longer and thinner which might suit better. Am on the lookout for a second bike and do fancy the larger wheels. How did this compare with the bike you reviewed for Mandy which was £750 odd quid with slightly larger wheels? I’m also on the lookout for one I can fit the buddy rider on with the dog. You don’t happen to know the dimensions between the seat post and the handle bars do you?
There’s nothing exactly like it to compare against but if you compare spec & build quality it’s as good as the high end bikes I’ve had that are around £3k
Hi John you know your old one of them bikes… that you and Manley had.. at the show. The fold up little ones… have you still got them?.. if so, would you like to sell them?…. Also, I hope Mandy is doing well. X
There are 2 versions 3 gears is a grand more... Not sure why that expensive but probably great tech plus profit on the tech.. example costs 700 add 300 profit.
People pay a lot more for cars, and they aren’t rich by any stretch, they just use finance. And 3k is a lot cheaper than what you’d pay for a car. If it’s built really well and you look after it then it would be a worthwhile investment probably, and is worthwhile if you can’t or don’t want to drive, or maybe both.
My wife and I have a pair of mirider one's, which we love but our only real bugbear is the small wheels on busy roads so this new bike may be just the job for us.
Thanks for your review.
Thanks John, that’s a cracking bike. All the very best to you both. 👍🚐🚐😎
Thanks 👍
John. Your review are always good. Keep up the good work
It's nice to see a British machine.
The belt drive worked well when I tested the Engwe P275 auto.
Adding a manual gear change is a great idea.
It's such a smooth & quiet ride too
Very neat, looks like another good option for campervans and motorhomes.
Definitely one to consider
Morning John, hope you and Mandy are well. This is a very clever idea. I like to bike especially in Orange. 👍
Yes it's a lovely colour

@@GadgetJohn Thank you, John. I trust your honesty, so I will go for it.
I still love my Mirider one bought on your original recommendation, nothing has convinced me so far to change/upgrade
That’s the beauty of the new expanding product range, they’ll have a bike to match everyone’s needs & budget soon.
@@GadgetJohn I'm just glad you still rate them, with all the other bikes you've been reviewing lately and with you selling your originals, I thought you'd gone off them. Mine fits nice and snuggly folded in it's bag in my T6 VW Transporter on my double passenger's seat 👌
Very nice-looking bike 😊
It reminds me of the Reise & Muller Tinker and it’s less than half the price.
Nice review john, would you say you really need the gb3 24 over the standard 24 for standard country riding?
Can a phone holder be attached to handlebar? Couldn't see if space was available. Normally I would get a bar extender but looks like no room on this one.
Great review John thank you.
One question:
If no one was in your front passenger seat do you think it would be OK to travel with the bike between the front seat and the glove box with front wheel and saddle off? I have a Boxer van conversion.
Yes, absolutely, not this bike obviously, but we carried the folding Mirider in the way your describing.
I live In Yorkshire so lots of hills to deal with looking for something to get to work is this any good up hill?
Great review and lots of help, Could be a purchase !
Another cracking video mate, very informative.
Definitely one I would consider.
Hari OM
Oh yes, GJ and MiRider - a heavenly pairing! YAM xx
Oh yes!

If range was important, I would not recommend it over the Kommada or Ovia.
Great Review John 👏
Thank you 😎
Interesting; I'm looking for a lighter, smaller bike than my Cube (25 Kg) so putting this on my list, thanks. Nice review too👍
Thanks for a great review of a very good looking and well thought out 🇬🇧 ebike 👍

Totally agree. The build quality is up there with the big brands.
Another great review John. Looks like MiRider hit the sweet spot! Nice one atb.
It does indeed 👍🏻

@@GadgetJohn That's impressive for a 10ah battery. I barely get 25 miles from the 13ah I have in my Engwe L20. Love to Mandy and hope she's doing ok
Another great review and like how you showed how you can fit it in your van, nice.

@@GadgetJohn thank you John I'll check that video out👍👍
Thank you 👍lovely looking bike , hope they do well . Well done 👍👍👍🏴🏴🇬🇧🇨🇦🦢
Thats very nice, just a bit on the pricey side. Ill have to stick with my Mirider one for now
Enjoyed the review, is the gates crank protected from stone chips?
The crank is open but on all the best drive bikes I've had there's never been an issue with mud, water, sand or stones on the belt
Hi John, a couple of questions. How high is the space in your van ? Can the battery be charged with 12V adaptor ? Thanks Chris
I know they do a 12v charger for the small folding Mirider, not sure if that works on this new bike though.
good vid on the ebike keep[ up the travel vid and all vids thanks

Great review John. So is this why you sold those other e-bikes. Saving pennies for the new Mirider?
Saving all my pennies 😀
That’s interesting. Will have to wait to get our new van but I find the mirider gb3 quite bulky to store whereas this is longer and thinner which might suit better. Am on the lookout for a second bike and do fancy the larger wheels. How did this compare with the bike you reviewed for Mandy which was £750 odd quid with slightly larger wheels? I’m also on the lookout for one I can fit the buddy rider on with the dog. You don’t happen to know the dimensions between the seat post and the handle bars do you?
We both found this far more stable with the 24 inch wheels. You'd have to ask mirider about the measurements as I returned the bike to them.
@@GadgetJohn that’s good to know. Will drop mirider a message thank yiu
Can you get stablizers for this bike?
I think you can get them for any bike
Nice bike , wondering now aboug the price! Will it be competitive or not. Anyway great review. ❤to you both x
There’s nothing exactly like it to compare against but if you compare spec & build quality it’s as good as the high end bikes I’ve had that are around £3k
Hi John you know your old one of them bikes… that you and Manley had.. at the show. The fold up little ones… have you still got them?.. if so, would you like to sell them?…. Also, I hope Mandy is doing well. X
I haven’t, they were sold this past week. I put a post on my community tab here and a post on instagram too with which bikes were being sold.
DJ Audits seems to like his.
Does it recharge whilst riding like evs
no, you don't get much regen on a bike
Upto 20 miles range, max assist, shame its not a 20 ah battery.
Wish it was foldable
£2000? imagine how many E bikes manufacturers would sell if their prices were reasonable? 2 months wages during a cost of living crisis.
@@garico7464 The model he’s riding is basically 3 grand
If you want more off road, could you just swap out tires for nobbies?
Yes I’m assuming they’ll have tyre options soon.
Only 1 gear?
3 gears 👍🏻
There are 2 versions 3 gears is a grand more... Not sure why that expensive but probably great tech plus profit on the tech.. example costs 700 add 300 profit.
Good review but sadly well out of my budget🙁 £3k is alot of money.
It’s a lot of bike too 👍🏻
People pay a lot more for cars, and they aren’t rich by any stretch, they just use finance. And 3k is a lot cheaper than what you’d pay for a car.
If it’s built really well and you look after it then it would be a worthwhile investment probably, and is worthwhile if you can’t or don’t want to drive, or maybe both.
