The 15.5MPH limit is dangerous because it is too slow and has to change. With the national limit going to 20mph, ebikes need to be included or we are little more than moving obstacles that drivers need to avoid. If we could maintain 20mph regardless of the terrain, safety would be dramatically improved.
@@badabing8884 Downhill isn't the issue. It's dangerous with cars overtaking, crowding, not being able to move with the traffic. We are vehicles on the road with the same legal requirements as cars, but for some reason, limited by an arbitrary speed limit.
Sorry but I disagree , 15.5 mph is no more dangerous than riding any bike at the same speed but it is a pain when the limit should be 20mph. Answer, get yourself a dongle ! Though it will drain your battery quicker but that's a fair trade off if you're going a short distance. Hopefully Ellis will review them 😊
I've never stopped riding bikes and have commuted to work or uni for 25 years on manual bikes. My wife however did not grow-up riding, for her a bike ride is equal to a day of combat in a war zone. We don't ride together she, not at all. I would like a Folding Electric Tandem bike. with me at the controls I could take her through all the fantastic scenery our city has. Could you do a comparison of these, please?
Hi, am looking for an ebike. Am 6ft 4 tall & 16 stones. Have had double knee replacement,looking for a commuter that can also do trails aswell as road. MUST have a throttle option which can hit 15mph without pedalling incase i need to give my knees a rest. Don't mind folding but a choice from each type (folding,hybrid,mtb) would be welcome please. Thanks
5:23 Surprised to hear you mention Sheffield specifically, though it is pretty hilly! Have you ever done a video here? It would be a great testing ground, although I admit Bristol is probably closer for you...
Electroheads, please can you be the first channel to review all of the dongles and gizmos that de- restrict e bikes from 15.5 mph. (Obviously for those who ride on private land or other countries only) 😊 I fitted a Badass dongle to my Cannondale when i bought it in 2018. (Fitted and removed in 10 seconds ) It tricks the computer display into thinking the bike is doing half of the real speed . IE when speedo shows 15mph ,im really doing 30mph ( when on private land or other countries.) I lent my bike out to someone who looks like me but wasnt me, who rode my bike from my home town in cowes , isle of wight to the other side of the island ,Benbridge in 40 minutes ! Definitely worth looking into buying a dongle for thise riding on private land and other countries.
The electric bicycle is a good idea. But the price of buying one is daylight robbery. Where do they get there prices from. My wife bought a bike from bid up tv to some years ago it’s not electric but cost her £80. And still looks and runs good, it’s got full suspension ,cable disks,and with an electric kit approx £500 so for under £600 she would have an electric bike. She loves it like it is. It has 21 gears she is 64 years old and uses it 4 days a week for work 3:393:39
Still wanna see battle of Mirider (their cheapest option) vs. Life force as seen in argos and very. Both same frames but life force 20 inch wheels and 1300 pounds.
?? Video is “Most portable Electric Bike….” Since when did Helix have an electric bike? Think Helix is brilliant to have 23 inch wheels and be able to fold small enough to be checked airplane baggage, but not electric.
@@maciejpsyk if Helix electrical comes out at 25 lbs as they are estimating will it be the most portable. Portable needs a better definition. Fold under 10 seconds? Fit under bus/train seat? Is portable just able to fit in trunk/boot of a car or being able to easily use it every day to commute using public transportation? Is a 40+ lb / 20K plus really portable?
@@ssenssel just my opinion, but the frames aren’t as solid and it’s just something else to go wrong. I’ve seen 2 folding e-bikes literally break in half. There’s nothing inherently wrong with them , just know what you have and know it’s limitations
@@StefanRandall I see. I was curious cuz I bought an ebike kit to convert a folding paratrooper MTB 26". The smaller ones I don't care so much to convert.

I agree. That’s ridiculous.
Not high enough?
Anything above is all the rider pedalling. Downhill can get to 23mph on my e-bike.
@@badabing8884Yeah I think the argument is you want around 20-25 to be able to keep up with traffic and minimise dangerous overtaking from vehicles.

super light & belt drive - I hate grease 😂 looks pretty decent too

I'd love a mirider, I think it's the one
Please make a video about the Bafang mid-drive motors.

So for someone who gets a busy train to and from work and rides the last mile on fairly crap paths, should I pick the estarli or mirider
compactness the quality of having all the necessary components or features neatly fitted into a small space.
What do you guys at electro heads think of of the Fido D3 Pro, as an entry into small electric bikes? Very attractive price point at the moment.
Check out the Trilix Moto Parilla 16-inch ebike.
Nice! Thanks for the great review 😊
be the lucky winner 🎁🎁
I bought the Estarli e16.7 and I love it, can't fault it .
Sent mine back due to constant issues.
@@cottonbrad no issues with mine!
MIRIDER.. like the Belt drive but its Too Expensive 😅

Go cycle and Brompton is insanely expensive

When will electroheads have it’s own Android app?
That Mi Rider one looks great in Orange 👍
It's a great colour, ain't it??
I like these bikes so much I'm making my own, cannot afford these asking prices
The best is the Brompton
No, it's not. That's been claimed by a Candadian Helix made by Helix Labs Inc.
Welcome perfect for to get your on the Go or share with family and friends😃😃😃

Remember folks, only get a folding e bike if you absolutely need one, because there are drawbacks to it.
Do you care to expand on that?

@@ssenssel I’m sure it will be fine, I’m sure people were really hammering on the ones that broke, and it was the smaller ones that broke
