When you tested the breaks to find out if they were working your body shot forward forcing you to go to standing up position. That happens regularly to all cyclists when breaking sharply and often the saddle nose can catch your delicate parts (males mostly - ouch!). It is for that reason I use a noseless saddle which takes a bit of time to get used to but gives a pain free ride especially when breaking..
I like looking at the surrounding area where he lives. I lived in South Wales valleys many years ago before moving to the forest of dean just across the border. I still miss cycling in Wales despite the massive hills everywhere.
On the Engwe P20 adverstisement it shows a couple pushing the bike while folded. For me with joint problems that would be a welcome design feature. Not having to carry the bike when transitioning to indoor buildings and trains ect. But does the bike really perform like that over say 100m?
@@tonyflanagan5682 Did you get yours to work? Just got mine today, but it dosn't seem to do anything when I do the "Hold break and throttle for 10 seconds" method. Mine is also locked to 22km/h insted of the 25km/h, and i can't get into the settings to change it, any ideas?
Yes it would coast better because the rolling resistance is significantly lower on these than fat tires. Also smaller motor hub would have less resistance so that also contributes.
With fat tyres, the more rubber in contact with road, the more friction it will generate and therefore greater rolling resistance. Only go for fat tyres if you really need them, or if you think they're really cool (which they are!)🙌
The ebike speed restrictions are nonsensical, just like pretty much everything else our government comes up with. And yes, I know it came from the EU originally.
I have seen some cyclists travelling way too fast while cycling in busy high street shopping areas. Those of us who cycle safely must condemn the minority who don't act responsibly. Some RUclipsrs ride their electric bikes way too fast on shared pathways (not this chap btw). We should encourage safe cycling so the laws don't need to be too strict. EU laws are great but now we can't even cycle there due to Brexit.
Didn’t understand your comment we go by EU rules we’re out of the EU. We should be making enough our own rules 750 W and under you can register the bikes if you want but no more than that., and sunny 28 miles an hour any more than that you can class it as an electric motorbike again we’re out of the EU. Why should EU rules be implied in the UK? Government and previous government are pushing EV vehicles the minute people start using them, they’re calling them death traps, abhorrent machines you could not make it up

👍👍
You're quite a joy to watch when you do these bike reviews 😊
Thanks 👍👍

A very nice and fun review, with beautiful scenery. I'm considering buying this one. 👍
@@JuusoAI 👍👍
Always got to see the Box, Empty the Box assemble and ride, 👍
👍👍
I always enjoy your videos keep up the good work
Thank you 👍👍

I'm not sure how it would be over 100m
So when you fold it, it can't fold entirely ? Looks like the handlebars is stuck in the middle and the wheels can't connect with the magnet.
@@rorobinou2810 👍
Not if you fold it and drop the handle bars down the outside…which is I think how it should be done
How do you get the throttle going please Mr Bacon? One I have doesn’t seem to be enabled. cheers
Usually on Engwe bikes its hold brake and throttle fully pressed while turning on bike and holding the brake and throttle on for 10 seconds
@@baconbuttties cracking thanks that’s worked 👍👍

Great review Bacon.
👍👍
What a beautiful area to bike.
👍👍
what part of the country is the video filmed looks lovely
South wales
@@baconbuttties thanks
Can’t see the link for your glasses ? Where did you get those from ?
It's from MagicShine, I did put the link in the description somewhere.
Do the skiiny tyres help the freewheeling compared to the fat tyre Engwes?
Yes it would coast better because the rolling resistance is significantly lower on these than fat tires. Also smaller motor hub would have less resistance so that also contributes.
Yes it freewheels much easier and is also easier to pedal.
👍

Man, it looks beautiful where you live.
👍👍
Great review, definitely considering this one. Would you be able to let me know the dimensions of the battery?
I will measure it in the morning and let you know.
40cm length 7.5cm width 5cm depth
@@baconbuttties Thanks so much. Have ordered the bike through your link, hope you get a nice commission!
@@beedex Thanks, that's Awesome 👍
Where can I get your helmet?
It's Xnito I forgot to put the links in the description. If you look I did a review on my channel quite a while back
That would be theft, wouldn't it?😮
