Just bought the 29inch wheel version, very impressed with build quality, came with free throttle to fit, you forgot to mention it's Alloy frame, a few clicks to unlock to 20mph, highly recommend this bike. Having converted my bike's in the past never again at this ready built quality and value.
Nice bike. Range sounds very good. Great to see prices coming down on full size e-bikes. I have a folding 250w e-bike with a smaller in-frame battery (Fiido D4s) for about a year and am still surprised at the power. It goes up crazy steep hills easily, but it does need to be low gears for the steepest hills. It flies along on flat roads. Wind is never an issue, although the battery doesn't last quite as long when facing into a strong wind. I'm about the same weight as you I think.
E bikes are finally falling in price. My friends all have £4k treks specialised etc. I bought a 2nd hand volt alpine. We are rough trail riders. My bike £800 can do everything theirs does. Nicer bikes v desirable but imo not worth that much. Can buy a nice small bike or scoot for less
I bought it a couple of weeks ago. I have the 29in version and like it a lot. Best thing I bought in ages. I use it for commuting to work and I fly up hills now! Hopefully the battery lasts a long time. I dont really have other e bikes to compare it to but was impressed for the price
Brilliant Mark,thanks for doing this. I"ve been looking for over a year at electric cycles and completely confused and concerned about the cost if it wasn't suitable. Your video has been a great help. Keep well.👍
600 odd mile I got out of my M1 plus, (old man cycling over a year and a half). It's now displaying an 'E10' error message and is up side down in my garage! I have no clue. Mine cost £750 a couple of yrs ago, I'm loathed to spend £200 odd at a repair shop getting it fixed!
I was lucky i won this bike in a raffle last month,U will not be disapointed ,just make sure u swap over the throttle grips that come in the box,its basically a moped when u do this
@@grahammcgrath1045 I cant because i live in germany but i will buy 3 things for it to change: 1. Stem riser because its too low for me 2. A Comfy seat 3. Mud Guards All for 50€
Shame it only has 19 inch as smallest frame size. Adjustable height and reach on saddle and handlebars still leave it as several sizes too big for anyone under 5 ft 5. Needs a certain frame size to fit the battery I suppose.
Hello, loved this video, thank you so much, i have some questions, first question is that is this 250watts, and does it need to be insured/taxed. Also, am i allowed to use the throttle or i must get a cbt test done first?
Hi Ricky yes 250w legal UK The throttle is technically illegal but everyone uses them .. cops aren't bothered No tax cbt etc required Buy. Ride enjoy 😃 Cheers mark
Ive been looking at ebikes for a while. This seems to have good range. Clicked on the link for the website, it says not available in the UK. Do you know when it will be available? As i want to pay in instalment. Oh and thanks for the review very informative 👍
Yes I know it's strange...back lights only seem to be fitted as standard to ebikes with racks or mudguards wired in to the battery ...I'd recommend getting a good set of separate led lights Best wishes mark
Just putting one of these together at the moment and it seems mostly ok. Only problem I'm having is the front wheel is not going fully into the dropouts and the wheel scrapes when I turn it?
I am hesitating between the Eleglide citycrosser and the m1 plus. The m1 plus seems to do both what the citycrosser does plus some extra-urban. Any advice pls?

You are wrong about the front sprocket. ... The bigger the cog - the slower it will go, and it will need more revolutions !! ... The smaller the font cog the faster it will go. ... You get the idea now, just like a gearbox in a car. ... I suggest the centre front drive sprocket and the middle rear cog, so you would be in 11th gear for a happy balance - and select level 3 for a nice mid-range experience.
Hi Daniel if you have it on the small cog at the front you are pedaling like crazy ....that's for hills ....big cog front plus small cog rear is the speed ...100 💯✅....I've been riding for 40 years and I know I'm 💯✅ right ....small cog front big cog rear for very steep hills but tbh you can just leave it on the big front cog and use just the rear cogs as it's got good power ....have a Google on this to confirm best wishes mark
@@markpulling12 Thanks Mark, I guess I got my cog sizes mixed up ? ... I always thought the front sprockets were the big boys and the small rear cogs were for speed ? .... I've been doing it wrong all this time then. ... What would you suggest for me as a mid-range happy medium. .... Regards, Dan.
@@danielwalker2613 hi Dan tbh most ebikes only have one front sprocket and say 10 at the rear ...I tend to keep it in the middle at the rear for general riding....speed and down hills shift to the small cog at the rear ....or very steep hills you want the bigger cogs at the rear ....any e bike about £1000 these days or more are decent Cheers mark

Mark, good review but please note the bike does not have Shimano front mech or derailleur! It has SunRun components strikingly similar to SunRace (premium brand), SunRun is a Chinese company who was sued for IP infringement. The SunRun knock-offs use logos similar to Shimano but with different spelling including Shinano, Shimona and Shinoma. One wonders what the customer support would be like? Any thoughts?
Hi Graham...they are online like most ...any problems just open a case and they will sort it out ... online reviews are pretty good for these e bikes cheers mark
No the batteries are fine only a tiny minority of batteries can catch fire and that's because of miss use Don't worry I've never had a problem in 5 years of e bikes Best wishes mark
my one did not work properly,2 in a row,first the M1 no power assist at all,went back to amazon,now M1+ faulty after a couple of miles,pedal assist then works when it feels like it,this is going back too,quality control is zero,i am getting a Varun today,dont buy this made in china crap

Does it make a difference having 29 wheels also does the bike come with an excelerator
@smiffyinspain 29 be best option but not much difference

Just putting one of these together at the moment and it seems mostly ok. Only problem I'm having is the front wheel is not going fully into the dropouts and the wheel scrapes when I turn it?
Hope you get it sorted it should just sit perfectly central in the dropouts with equal distance both sides

I have my m1+ for over a year and not one problem yet , I use it in the local woods offroad and on good roads
Is 45 nm of torque really enough for steep hills
Oh yes most definitely....see me in the video climbing hills easily....it makes climbing hills very easy

@markpulling12 thanks mate
👍
What about electric mode?
It has a throttle you can fit if you want to max speed 20 mph ... cheers mark
It’s Legal in UK ?
Yes these are 250 w
