Kyle, it’s great to see you doing the test ride yourself. Stay well and healthy. I am also interested in the Tenways bikes. This bike is a very popular commuter bike in London and they are known for the great lightweight package that performs above it’s weight class.
It's nice to see you testing more light bikes! As a city dweller I honestly prefer ebikes like these. It's more practical for various reasons and I generally gravitate to my lighter bike over my heavy and powerful ebike.
I'm here to tell you that that kind of bike WORKS. Mine is very similar, although it is a folder with 16" wheels. I was used to 20" folders so that's just fine. Mine also weighs 35lbs, and is a single speed. It has 3 levels, and a throttle I never use. The battery in the frame is only about 7.5Ah, but the motor is 350W. Several times I've gone 75kms on a single charge, including into headwinds and hills here in BC. With the little wheels, it accelerates and brakes very quickly (but doesn't coast that well). But as a single speed I have trouble going over 32km/hr, and so never use level 3 unless I am going up a 10%+ hill. Mine came with a rack and the headlight just above the wheel and the angle is adjustable, so it works as 'be seen' as well as 'see'. I use one of the Bell rechargeable combo steady/blinky/turn signal lights in back. They are about $20 at Walmart. Best news is that the bike only cost me $850 Cdn! I've had it about 30 months, have 10,000 kms on it and have only changed the chain once but the brake pads too many times. I put Schwalbe Marathons on for rolling resistance and durability. I have three other bikes, but guess which one I use every day! I am convinced that small and light is the way to go with e-bikes. I can still carry 75 lbs of groceries.
Maybe if it had tail lights, was geared, and had a throttle, I would be interested but, those are what I'm looking for with an eBike, amongst other things. I wouldn't be able to carry it no matter if it weighs 35 or 95#, it's more important that it can carry weight, at least 300+#. Great job on the review Kyle, glad to see your able to get out and ride it yourself for a change.
Nope.. Can't go with a bike that weighs less than my battery and beer.😎 thanks for showing though brother 👏👏. How about a 3,000 watt 72V upgrade on that bike? Nice to dream. Karen loves it as is!
Kyle: Similar bike with gears and more bells and whistles is the Velotric Thunder 1. Cost about the same. Take a look. Would probably climb better with the gears, but uses chain instead of belt. Some really interesting features!
This looks like a straight copy of the Ride1Up V2 Gravel Roadster, which costs a lot less. Please,I beg you, a comparison. I've been thinking the V2 Roadster is the perfect commuter in the city and am very tempted to trade in my Ride1Up 700.
I would like to know how hills feel on that? I use normal bike for going to work and to hoppies. 10-40km a day. I have this in mind sence i still wanna pedal and mainly use it in city area. Only thing i am worried is can i still go slight uphill with my guitar on my back with out gears?

I am encouraged that you seem to be regaining your strength. Good on ya Kyle!
It's really great to see you out riding again!

Keep up the great reviews and praying for your recovery. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Glad to see you getting over GBS and getting stronger!
very good to see you on a lower powered ebike doing well Kyle 🌄
Happy to see you out doing reviews again. Hope you continue to grow stronger and get healthy again.
Great seeing you riding again!
Love these "stealth" eBikes

I prayed to Hawkwind,masters of speed,for yr recovery.They listened!
You need to do a video on ebikes to use for bugging out on people need to know about it 😮😮😊😊
Hi Kyle, the Tenways website says that the hub motor on the US version is 350W whereas the EU version is 250W.
Love torque sensors. This is a nice bike! Not my style but man nice bike!
have you ever reviewed the Surface 604 Shred, or any other Surface 604 bike? Any thoughts on the Surface 604 bikes?

Kyle, you ok bruh? Haven't seen anything yet this week. Hopefully it's because you're super busy with the new stores!!!
A couple of videos in the works, but yes I have been under the weather.
Sorry to hear that, praying that you get well soon. Have a Blessed Weekend!
How's the up hill drive, too much struggle?
Is that display on the bike refreshing at 50 Hz?🤔
I own a single speed eBike (no gears), I find it somewhere limiting.
What you think about mokwheel e-bike
Kyle, how easy or difficult is it to remove the front wheel?
Can you do some testing
Beautiful bike but it's built for much younger riders . I'm 62 so it doesn't appeal to me .
😂 I've had 2 bags of groceries that weight... It's not really hill rated though.
First time I been this early for a "first" lol. Nice bike!
