I look at Engwe's 250w Engine X e-bike, a fantastic foldable e-bike, and road-legal in the UK and EU due to its 250w motor.
You can "de-restrict" this e-bike, enable the throttle, and remove the 15.5mph limit on assistance/throttle. Please only do this "off-road" or on private land.
Check out my Engwe Engine X 250w link and see the current price and specifications:

You're an idiot. First of all refuse to review a bike because it's illegal, 90% of people ride them regardless.
Second, you compare riding an ebike that doesn't harm anyone but it's just a stupid law, compare that to murdering people.
Thanks for watching. I have to agree, I am an idiot, congratulations on your powers of observation.
This is exactly that reason why you can't review and advice a non legal bike! Actually I do love this road legal version because yeah based on registered specs this bike can go on the road legally..which is a huge deal! But when unlocking it it can do more at own risk! Which to me is awesome as I don't need to buy additional stuff, whatsoever and it can be both to whatever I need it to be. I think engwe did a decent decision making here. Its looking really practical and beefy and that suspension you also do not see that often in this price range. Sturdy fatbike that goes without a worry and goes quicker when no one is around 😂
@@jeffreyvanzeijst7932f*ck you brother give respect Learn to give respect if you want to get respect. And look carefully and see if this is legal. The f*cking a*** ss h**ole you are
Seen plenty of idiots on road with there hoodies on weaving between the traffic on unrestricted bikes. One fall and these stupid children are dead. Wear a helmet and the police will knock you off, take the bike and set you up with 3 points on your licence. You hit a car or a person and you aren't insured you paying for the rest of your life. Who's the idiot now?
@@CaravanVlogger Good answer hahahaha
Looks great fun Graham, if I ever become a Grown Up Vlogger 😂😂 I may get to try one. I don’t know much about e bike legalities, I’m leaning all the time. 👍
Looks very nice and great fun. Thanks for the review.
Thanks for watching...
Looks decent, nice review, I like how easily it seems to fold/unfold. 👍
Thanks for watching. Yes its a bit of a beast, if it was lighter it would be perfect instead of very good…
Great vid. Currently trying to decide over this Engine X and PVY Z20 plus, Not sure if this is comparable to the Z20 500 or 1000 version. Engwe seem to have less people reporting there are faults with them from what I have watched so far.
Hello Graham both of us had folding bikes same fold down handle bars same frame folding point no electric motors though, we found them awkward we strapped the front wheel when folded to the rear wheel with nylon webbing straps, but yes very nice bike you have there, could be a potential purchase in the coming months, it is the weight that is the draw back , Clive
Thanks for watching Clive. It's a fun bike, I think some other bikes are lighter, but you need to be a bit careful with the weight some manufacturers claim their bikes are…
Some really interesting points there Graham which probably highlights to need for people to try before you buy or at least have a return if unsuitable.
Weight has to be the big factor but the ride and handling especially for inexperienced riders is the most important. The bottom bracket drive either via chain or belt is certainly the smoothest and most bike friendly handling but that's not just the motor. The bigger wheels and the drive via the normal drivetrain make a massive difference. With both rear wheel and front wheel motors, the bigger the wheel the better but that snatch of acceleration to start definitely has improved over the years with better quality wheel motors.
There is also a real difference depending on which wheel drives. Some might prefer that more stable front wheel pull rather than rear wheel push but the downside to front is the heavier steering.
Looks a nice bike Graham and one for the on the Consider list .
Nice review 👌
Thanks for watching Alan, hope you're both keeping well.
@CaravanVlogger Can't complain... we both woke this morning still breathing 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@Coffeevaners that's the spirit, everything else is a bonus 😆🤔
Keep looking and really think I need to try one before buying as they are expensive if not right model etc so agree with you on the first bit
Looks like a good bike to use for work and put in the car and cycle track. Use joys of bristol 😂 and being unfit from covid. It's nice to see someone doing a 250 watt bike and I have been looking to buy great vid
Nice review but can you add range test for the reviews in the future, as for many of us range is the most important thing
buy another battery, one to go and one to go back.
It would be nice to have one but I live in NZ and I havent seen this make of bike out here . I hope you get many hours of fun from it
Thanks for watching. It's a great bike, especially as you can enable all the restricted stuff easily when not on public roads, and then disable them once more.
Does this fit in the boot of the car easily? Looks good although you might get mistaken for a delivery rider.
Thanks for watching. I haven't had the chance to try putting it in my boot. It will fit in the boot of our GLE. I just dont know how easy it would be at 31kg 🤷♂️
Thanks. Remember to bend the knees. We have a Sorento so I am sure it will fit. Not sure the dog will be happy sharing the boot with it.
What was the weight of this again!p? Thankfully I’m young and fit so don’t need electrical assistance 😂
Thanks for watching.
What’s it like on steep hills ???
Many thanks
It’s managed all hills I’ve been up. Hard to judge what you consider steep though 🤷🏼♂️
I got this bike for 999 pounds brand new in London with free helmet, also I found Engwe official service provider is in London Brixton. I have got a coupon if any of you are intrested. Let me know. Thanks
Great review. We have Brompton's non electric. I must say that bike go's like stink.🤡
Thanks for watching. I did look at Brompton eBikes bit I can't get to grips with the little wheels. They are super practical and light though
I agree the Brompton electric is super expensive though. Don't know why that is the case as only a battery and small motor.
The engine x is not really a 250watt ebike though is it. 48v x 18amp Controller is about 864watts of peak power. I think engwe are being investigated by the a.s.a and maybe some legal action is in the pipeline.
Thanks for watching. I'm wouldn't be surprised, I can only go on the information I have. Info like the weight is very hard to find, but it's not just Engwe.
@CaravanVlogger I'm not complaining though, I've unlocked everything on mine and have a second battery connected too giving 23ah in total. I love the torque! done about 112 miles on it so far and all seems good.
Oh ok, cool, do sometimes get some negative feedback on ebikes. 2nd battery, now that’s a good idea 💡 👍🏻Yeah cracking bike 🚴
I'm not sure it suits a "caravan" vlogger. Would make more sense for a "motorhome" vlogger😉
