The First Modular eBike is Better than Expected

What happens when you make an ebike with power tool batteries? This is the ego power mini bike, a shockingly good ebike with hot swappable batteries.

Like the idea of the "common" battery principle

[@nathancereska8215]

I feel like you missed a huge selling point on this bike battery system. It has rapid charge capability. 45 min per battery. That’s huge. Being able to do such a quick turn around is a big deal for all day fun

[@Altema22]

I'd prefer the Ego, mostly for the looks but also for the 3rd battery slot. Word of warning about voltages though: E-bike batteries are classified by their nominal voltage, but power tool companies often use the fully charged peak voltage.

[@ryanesposito7223]

E-bikes do the same exact thing. A “52v” ebike battery is actually running at 58.8v when at 100 percent capacity. It’s up to the bms and the controller to decide how much of that voltage is going to be used. And it’s up to the motors capabilities that will determine what power the manufacturers set the controller at. Even if it’s a piece of Chinese junk e-bike, the last thing you’ll have to worry about is the battery from the factory being too powerful.

[@stevio4228]

Your RUclips promo shot says $1,299 but on Amazon it’s $2,299

[@burn1gotbeats]

the bike alone is priced at 1300 and 2000 with batteries

[@NathanChurch]

@@burn1gotbeats Is there a way to purchase it without the batteries if you already have them? Otherwise, it's not accurate/deceptive pricing.

[@burn1gotbeats]

@@NathanChurch yes it’s labeled as Tool only and sells for about 1,300.

[@nathancereska8215]

Also….. where did you find this for 1299???

[@Nillrod1]

nowhere

[@stevemcgowen]

Probably got a discount for doing a commercial for the product.

[@marumarukira]

Finally! I'll be able to shovel my snow and ride a fat bike in winter. Your move Ryobi! I've got plenty of your 80v batteries already! I've always wanted to modify a snow shoveler Ebike😂

[@houseman7315]

NPL do you know of any direct drive hub motor ebikes that are produced mass produced? 700-1500 dollar range?

[@andrewford9974]

I like the look of the greenworks 80 volt e-bikes. They got like 4 or 5 of them

[@Ebike_Adventures]

$2299 !!!

[@jahbrake9791]

The Greenworks is lit for the price!

[@Busdathead]

EGo's bike looks really well made that's my pick

[@keric3730]

Good job too them. Doesn't affect me since I'm a renter, but really thoughtful

[@philipdove1705]

Hopefully they make an attachable saddle box for hauling tools and extra batteries

[@tonyholmes9024]

16ah battery is gonna get you to the corner store and half way back

[@pascalj4331]

Needs a cargo/touring pedal bike so that power station is useful with it, with range benefit of pedaling.

[@unclegeorge7845]

The mower specs will probably make the decision for me. I live on a farm.

[@warlockboyburns]

The geared hub motor on the Wired Freedom goes 40mph!

[@nathancereska8215]

Own one. Not apples to apples here. Like comparing cars to trucks. They do different jobs

[@lilvegasbasc-se7en-0-duece67]

The Ego looks like the green Power Ranger needed a vehicle for their cartoon. Nah. The Greenworks looks like a budget friendly Volcon Grunt. That would be my choice if i had to choose between those 2 bikes. More room for modding also.

[@Catamount19]

How much does this bike weigh?

[@burn1gotbeats]

140 Lbs. i think

[@aaronepstein6936]

how tall are you? this looks tiny for you.

[@nin1ten1do]

look liek BFG ammo XD

[@georgekrpan3181]

20 mile range with 15ah seems low, should be more like 30.

[@RunPlayBack]

🤔

[@NPLVentures]

Love the channel! I credited you with the still image in the video. If you prefer I change the thumbnail let me know.

[@mustbee-bike994]

ego bike : Currently unavailable.
We don't know when or if this item will be back in stock.

[@michaelscott1215]

😯

[@anthony_786]

That’s a mini bike because it has no pedals

[@charlieredeemed]

True

[@jahbrake9791]

Scooter ppl will say the exact same thing but say it's a scooter 😂

[@kimhyunwoo8983]

It’s still a ebike. Electric Bike🤷‍♂️. Same way a Motorbike is just a Motor based bike

[@jahbrake9791]

@@kimhyunwoo8983 lol it doesn't work like that kid. Bikes have pedals. 😂

[@Wigington24]

Pulled over towed away by the law

[@sbukosky]

Class 3 is meaningless as it doesn’t have pedals so is not an electric bicycle. The cop Karens would go apoplectic if they see one on the street.

[@quantumfx2677]

Even with pedals on a bike path because it looks like a motor bike Karens & Ken's will raise hell! Even if its allowed!

[@thisisreallyme3130]

Nice ride, but let's not call this electric dirtbike an "e-bike". This doesn't adhere to any of Class I, Class II, or Class III e-bike standards. Anyone sufficiently misinformed will attempt to ride it on the street.

[@RidinRetired]

First!

[@mjrtensepian1727]

SHUT. IT. DOWN.

[@nogoodgod4915]

So it looks like a motorcycle but has the speed of an ebike and awful range?
Yeah this thing is crap.

[@reaperreaper5098]

Also uses Ego batteries, which will have issues after just a couple of years if you're not using them year round.

[@CommentLikeDescribe]

Oooh. I call second on the comments.
