yesssss lad keep going
Class mate wish you all the best 👍
How's the battery doing?
@@mrsmith2554 well sorry to say the battery started to die after about 5 years so i built a new one useing 50 samsung 18650 cells at 2.5 amps each iam still love my bike and it still works grate the best thing i have ever bought i did have to bye a gell seat for it as the old one was way to hard lol
@@petergriffiths7409 thanks for the info. I'm with you on the gel seat 😁
I bought an ebike after starting with heart problems. I am getting fitter by the day and feeling better than I have for a long time. It helps with hills and is so easy to ride; a total joy.
Totally agree. I used to cycle a lot then had heart problems and gave up cycling more or less. Last year I wanted to join my much fitter son on a tour in the Western Isles so borrowed an ebike. It was truly wonderful, I was able to keep up, climb and stay at his pace. The price needs to come down a lot for most people before it seriously takes off in this country but it is really the answer for people with heart and other difficulties who would otherwise love to cycle...and you still have to put in effort.
true
I completely agree that the criticism people offer of "it's cheating" to ride an ebike is utter rubbish. If you don't like riding ebikes, don't ride them. This review pointed out that people who ride ebikes often get more exercise than they would if they were on a conventional bike. And even if they didn't, whose business is that but their own? A lot of people find that they ride more frequently and ride farther on an ebike than they would otherwise. And at the end of the day, it's THEIR choice and their money. If people want to be cycling purists, that's all good. Just don't be cycling snobs. Mind your own business. This bike wouldn't be a fit for what I want to do, but it's an honest and fair review -- good on ya.
I ride a normal gravel bike at this moment, it’s reassuring to know, I can move to an a-bike, and keep cycling when I get older.
People need to take into consideration a lot of people get e-bikes due to health reasons as well. I've recently been diagnosed with arthritis in my knee and also Achilles tendonitis. I got two choices, quit cycling for a very long time maybe for life or buy an E Bike, so I did the latter and it arrives Sunday.
If I get any negative comments they will get roasted
all these folk that say riding an e bike is cheating i tell you this i will take any of them on one and see what there like after throwing a 20kg e bike on a down hill section a few times they will soon change there minds
Whichever you want, is fine.
100% agreed
Had my Carrera E For 2 years Best ever purchase Ive ever made. My car is idol My wallet is fuller. My health is better My life is grand cruising the lands. Love my EBike. Nice review vlog mukka.
Any issues with the bike?
Watchya Andy Ive a few of my bike vids on my YT Channel “Country Vanlife TV” Still in use every day No issues ! Except I rebiult After head in crash with car ( his fault ) Arggh that hurt lol Cracking bike ATB buddy
Great interesting video, thanks for taking the time to make it. I've just bought a Carrera ebike (the Crossfire) for lockdown and everything you said is competently true and resonated with me. I go out for 30/40 mile trips and like you say it takes all the worry about hills out and makes cycling enjoyable again (I'm 60).
Well done
were can i get a spair battery for this bike part from halfords any one no pleases help
@@spooksmultigames which bike are you tlking about? The one in the video or the one I was talking about?
One in video
@@spooksmultigames Ok, I would either contact your local Halfords and/or do a google search. There were a few on ebay when I first replied to this video - just make sure you have the correct model.
Brilliant one of the best bike reviews I’ve seen
Good review. I have a crossfire which has transformed my cycling principally because I live in an extremely hilly area with 1 in 5 to 7 hills. At 71, despite being a lifelong cyclist, I struggled to get up them and thought maybe they might induce a heart attack. So not worth it. I can now look at any downhill and explore it without worrying about having to exhaust my self getting back up. On unpowered rides, I used to be able to get up 2 sea-level to 300ft climbs in 10 miles. Now I can do a lot but it doesn't half deplete the battery. Sometimes by 10% on one climb. I changed the Kenda tyres to Schwalbes and what a difference in control and feel. It is much more taught and being a mountain biker for 20 years, I can now chuck the bike about with confidence. If I get abuse from roadies, I shout back "Well are you 71, then"
I was thinking of the journey to visit my sister who lives a little over 12 miles away. I live at 200ft asl and in the first 5 miles the road climbs to 1000ft asl. After that the road is downhill or fairly flat. Of course, there is the return journey where the last 5 miles are all downhill. The weather at 1000ft can produce thick hill fog or black ice in winter so April to September is probably the best. Alternatively, I could take a folding ebike onto the bus and cycle home.
@@johnnymac8680 I am not so sure about descending on a folding bike, especially from 1000 feet asl, unless it has full size wheels. They are not generally quite as stable.
@@nigelduckworth406 Yes, I've heard that they may have stability problems. I wouldn't like to hit a largish pothole going down a steep hill on one. I will probably confine myself to cycling in during daylight hours.
@@johnnymac8680 folding e bikes are pretty heavy and cumbersome.
Watched this review a fair few times this week and definitely helped me make my decision. Purchased the Carrera Vengeance 2.0. Very excited 🚲🥰
Have fun, Melissa! :D
I'm worried about the battery lasting apparently their around 400 pounds to replace
How is it ??
Just stumbled on your video review and I've got to say thoroughly enjoyed it. I'll look out for more. Many thanks.
Nice review and the bike seems really good value for Money. I fitted a suspension seat post to my ebike, made the ride so much more comfortable.
Dude you've made a fantastic video here. Very informative and enjoyable. I appreciate it must have taken a lot of effort setting up the interesting camera angles. Quality stuff.
I would also see it has an 'investment. Like you I've been pondering getting one for a long while, and your video has convinced me to finally pull the trigger on it 😃🙌 I'm super pumped now!
Where I live here in Nordrhein-Westfalen in Germany, it is as flat as a pancake, so I'm pretty sure the 250 Watts are plenty to 'assist' me getting my large self around. Thanks again 👍
Excellent honest review. You had me concerned when you said "about hills", I thought the whole point of an ebike is to get you up hills!! Then you rode up and answered the question, good enough for us, will probably get my mrs this bike. Cheers.
Great review, I agree with your assessment of what you get out of riding an E bike, particular comments about hills and the saddle.
I only use the power when I need it, average run 20 miles, then had enough, uses approx 50 % battery.
Great fun as a 70 year old takes me back to being 14, fabulous, go get one?
Looks like a decent bike. I was considering spending well over £2k on one, but perhaps I should try one like this first. Thanks very much for the review
Dont know if u purchased this one if not i wouldnt recommend ive had 3 replacement bikes and they refuse to refund me they break super easy id recommend going to halfords and gettint one of theirs they do mid drives for 1500 and their 10x better
wouldn't worry about rear suspension on a bike in this price bracket, it would add more weight, reduce range and increase maintenance complexity for minimal additional comfort.
Plus those seat suspensions that people are recommending me look like a solve!
Use slime in your tyres as well to remove the motor at the back is a pain. The slime will help seal punctures.
Picked up the same bike second hand for next to nothing and this guys review is spot on. It's not the fastest thing I have on two wheels but it's a good pace to enjoy the ride and it is very well made. Stay safe and have fun....
I liked this review as I have just brought my first e Bike a Mayfair Highwayman from Argos, I have been thinking of it for a very long time just like this guy. I am 57 year old had a heart condition since 2010. I used to love cycling and missed it, in 2018 did get a normal cycle and cycled for 6 months but in Keighley it is hilly and it was very hard. When I was younger I cycled miles and didn't pass my driving test till 2000 and always relied on a cycle. When I first took my e bike out for a run I expected to be very tired and find it hard, I must of cycled 6 mile using the motor and came back and didn't even have a sweat.
I did try to get up some big hills but no way as I am well unfit and like said with a e bike we ourselves have to do a part of the work, but slight hill I looked very impressive and slight hills I struggled with 3 years ago with a normal bike when I was fitter just climbed up them making it that little more easier. I like to walk my dog as well been doing that for years a few mile a day for an hour, now I can cycle as well and the e bike I have I am very happy with. Like this man i didn't pay a lot for it just £649 and yes the worst part of the cycle is that extra weight.
I used to cycle racers, road bikes this is my first strieght handle bar cycle a city cycle and feel a lot safer, my cycles weighed about 12 kg to 15 kg I think this is 22 kg, if it wasn't for the motor I would find it very hard a lot harder then the road bikes I had, but certainly the motor makes it worth while and any exercise is better then no exercise. The same reasons during the epidemic used car a lot less and now only use car for my wife who is disabled and my son to go to colllege about 2500 mile a year, for myself it is the cycle anyday if I go somewhere on my own it is my bike anytime over car. I am saving because not using the car as much and the price of fuel is just going up, its a shame my all family didn't cycle but well worth the change agree with this man 100%.
In my youth I was very very fit, I’d often go out ( 2/3 times a week when I worked shifts) for 40 mile rides on my mountain bike in the hilliest areas Wales has to offer. One day I rode to my girlfriends house, about 5 miles away. I rode as hard as I could, the wind was tough, a bit of flat, a few slopes up and down and when I arrived I’d averaged 17mph. So, the 15mph rating on these bikes is actually pretty good even though it doesn’t sound fast, it challenges me at my fittest.
I rode this bike 2 days ago, a colleague had bought it and I had a go. It’s very heavy, but doesn’t feel it, I’ve had very expensive bikes in the past and never felt this was a cheapo, admittedly I didn’t go far ( weather was bad but I will try it again ) but I was shocked how good it was.
You mentioned how the air felt clean, the grass green etc, I worked in a factory years ago and started at 0545, a colleague and I both rode in, on a spring morning, birds singing gentle warm sun on my face I would get into work in a great frame of mind v getting out of my car groggy because I hadn’t woke up. I recommend it ( although I was fortunate to have shower facilities when I got there ).
You mentioned no rear suspension, a full suspension bike is a dog on the road, it bounces along sapping you energy as you peddle. More expensive bikes have a ‘lock out’ feature to stop the suspension working, but it’s not a feature on cheaper bikes.
A good honest review, enjoy your bike.
I love this video buddy great job thank you
I've owned a Carrera Subway cist around £1100 now for a couple days. Done one ride and I love it ...every word you said was bang on and how you described it perfectly.
I've sold a powerful Honda cbf 1000 and after years of biking from age 17 to now 63 ..ive sold the Honda to buy this and it feels like good decision. Roads and car drivers getting worse so very dangerous theses days ..
Anyway thank you for a perfect video
K
Hi.
I'm interested in the subway ebike and I'm interested how it's going and how it is for you?
I'm the same age, average fitness and want to do around 50 miles a week on it.
Many thanks.
5 video I have watched and I didn't want it to end best review video I have seen and I am definitely going to buy this bike now
Very good and honest review.
"My buttocks were swolen" creasing 😂😂
Me too..I've stopped driving. Been cycling for years, plus car, but cost, freedom, stress...much better cycling
What a great review, I am now about to buy this on my company cycle to work scheme, thanks mate :)
Have fun!
Fantastic review every word /point is spot on and mirrors my experience too
Hi, Honest review and here is my story during the lockdown I decided to buy a bike but fancied buying an e bike and considering I have not biked anywhere for years. I purchased an EZEGO commuter and now bike to work 5 days a week for a total of 61 miles. The car fuel saving is paying for the bike and I feel great and the electric assist is always available against strong head winds and steep gradients. A great investment and would never buy a normal bike again.
I've subscribed, interesting video and I have to agree we don't need our cars as much as we think we do. Safe riding buddy.
Awaiting for a Smartmotion X City Ebike to be in stock - so looking forward to getting it.
I had a carerra cross city E and that went ok even up the steepest (1 in 3 gradient) in 1st gear. Just about to buy a vengeance as want a full size bike again. Great review cant wait to be mobile again
Had one for the last two years great bike battery not the best for miles but for me it,s fine I,ve got a bad heart so the best buy off my life.
Mid drive for steep hills. Hub motors aren't great for climbing.
Agree with all that , use mine to do a circuit , started out using assist , gradually backed off as got fitter , now I tackle hills with no assist , and note where I get to before switching in motor and what level - see and feel the fitness benefit , and you can go for more effort first part of circuit , then cruise home with motor .And yep , its a fair bike with the motor off .
What a good idea haha ,Gave me a plan
I bought a new ebike. I sold the one I had to help finance it to a guy who worked for royal mail because he was too scared to use public transport. So yes they are worth it for numerous people. And I sold it for £250 less the full value it was hardly used mint condition.
I have bought it now thanks to you 👍👍👍
Just bought this bike after watching your video and think you made some great points
Enjoyable, honest review. Nearing 70 I would prefer a 20 inch wheel bike that has a bit of oomph on the hills. A Tern would be my choice even though it is quite expensive. I would worry about accessing a repair service or knowing how to repair a puncture even though I've done this many times on a standard bike.
Hi, Johnny.
Just took a look at the Tern website, and although pricey they look good quality!
But...that’s the reason I stuck with a Halfords brand. Easy to just take it back to the shop if it goes wrong, rather than trying to communicate with a internet company.
On the subject of punctures. The front wheel just pops off and is easy to fix. The back is more fiddly. But...the slime stuff I mentioned in this video should sort that!
@@Addictedtobleeps Volt has been getting good reviews, too. I spoke to a guy who bought one of the 20 inch wheel bikes, in the £1400 range now, that he has been riding for 18 months, covering nearly 2000km. He has been very happy with it.
@@Addictedtobleeps I hope to get a quality ebike for short 5-10 mile city rides and visiting my sister which involves a 25 mile round trip and hill climbs of 800 feet. I'm nearly 70 and 15 stone so I may go for a Tern ebike. Chain Reaction Cycles can get them in but that company you either love or hate according to the reviews.
@@johnnymac8680 See my post above. The crossfire has a 417wh battery and mine is 49lbs in weight. 800 feet is a lot of uphill, so quite a lot to get up hills. If your 800ft climb is not too steep, say over 10%, then I would try to get up those in City mode (for me) which is one up from ECO and without pushing too much. If I put it in sport, which is one up from City, the battery drains like crazy. Make sure you get a battery which is at least the wattage of the crossfire but preferably 500. My neighbour has A Kalkhoff with this battery and his range is much more than mine.
Johnny Mac The only difference taking the back wheel off compared to a normal bike is that you have to cut the cable ties off that secures the cable from the motor to the controller.. three of them... and then just separating the two half’s of the connector ... takes just seconds...I took several photos before I took the back wheel off ( to fit better tyres ) .. only tricky thing for me was putting the silver ‘boss’ in the right position.. it has a cut out and the wheel won’t sit right if the boss cut out is not aligned correctly
Yeah they are worth it,takes me right back lol.i dunno about Halfords bikes tho, good deal a few months ago they wore about 1100 im sure, they certainly are getting cheaper. The new batteries due out in a year or so will be a game changer for ebikes allowing you to charge in 10 mins and do about 250 miles on 1 charge. Subbed! Gr8 vid.
I've had mine just over four days but already noticed because it assists up to 15.5 mph, it can very little effort to get upto that speed, so going more upto 20 plus is quite easy because you haven't used a load of energy to get it started in the first place.
Thank you for this review,I’ve been contemplating this bike for months & months but this has made up my mind,I’m buying it in January. Thank you 👍🏻
Have fun!
@@Addictedtobleeps 🤞🏻👍🏻😂
I live in your area too, i can sympathise with the hills around Dover, some are very challenging, i went on a 52 mile round trip from Deal to Dungeness, wind in my face on the way back, then Folkestone Hill from the harbour, then Castle Hill, Dover. Absolutely rung out when i got back, Good luck with the e.bike, i was considering one but not quite ready, so got a light hybrid. Thanks for the great informative video.
here now in 2023 , ive been cycling to work 2 weeks on 2 weeks off for 3 years, basicaly trains dont run at 5pm in the morning!!! so i can drive have a full DL but choose not to drive as its lazy, ive always loved cycling , im 47 now and after my hybrid bike was stolen ( yeah i left it unlocked outside a shop) i replaced the hybrid with a cheap "dont wanna spend much on a bike attitude" man it was tiring me out just doing 7.5 miles , 3incline hills ..... the bike felt sluggish and to much effort... my whole life has been effected since .. normaly id love my cycle to work 7.5 eat it up a few hills (ps my hybrid had 24 gears. my cheap replacement had 21. ... id get home relax take the kids to the park then start contemplating if to book a taxi which is expensive if you book at 11pm at night . taxi would often not turn up anyway way past my booked time .. hence ive just got a carrara vengence e , just riding it from the train station took me 1 minute on eco and i felt i put the effort in with out feeling the strain...
Does it feel like a normal bike without the motor assistance? Or does the weight hold it back ?
I had a normal carrera for few years and I was happy with it. I then tried a Vulcan ebike and wow! it opened up the whole valley I live in. I'm from Wales, hills in every direction. I loved the Vulcan so much that I spent 5k on a merida ebike and it was worth every penny. Loads of people own them now. Great fun but the Vulcan is a great bike.
Great info......I am just about approaching getting rid of my car, I have a superb bike but where I live in a mountain valley its just about borderline too hard to haul shopping from town uphill for 6k especially after a fun packed wine evening,and want to do a train exploration all over Eastern Europe with an ebike
Got a Birdbike from Halfords.
Great bike. Makes commuting a dream instead of a chore. You can still do cardio and put strain on your legs, if you wish to.
You could, ahem, derestrict it if you want a bit more speed. Move the speed sensor from the wheel to the crank arms and whooosh! :0) Slightly more seriously that was a very good and refreshingly honest review. Some bike mags are in the pockets of the manufacturers and reviews are often a tad biased.
You know how I can derestrict my volt pulse? They know but won’t tell me ☹️
I have the crossfire ebike hybrid I use for camping trips,
Great review.. Thank you.
How can you tell how many miles you have done??
I have a cheap pedometer. Alternatively, there’s plenty of apps that you can use on your phone 👍🏻
Great review sir. I've been toying with the idea of an ebike for a while. (Getting to a manual job without getting sweaty and knackered before I've even started!) Road bike's shaking filings out of me teeth....
I got the Carrera Subway, love it!! When i was considering getting an Ebike people told me it was cheating, and that was it, i was definitely getting one!
Steve Campkin I feel like the Subway is the one I can find the least amount of info on. What do you think of it? I’m debating between the Subway, Crossfire and Crossfuse.
they just feel envy cause they dont have money to splash on an ebike 🤣
A good video and what a coincidence Kris, I got myself an e-bike a few weeks ago. I'd been thinking about getting one for a year or so and It's a fantastic machine, I'm over the moon with it. I agree with you in that it makes rides pleasurable with the assistance it gives you and that in turn results in easier and longer rides so still excellent for fresh air, fitness, mobility and general well being. Well done mate.
Spot on old chap!
@@Addictedtobleeps - I've been looking at a conversion kit for my existing bike - motorized wheel, control box, battery, and cables - then I look at the price they want for it! Hmmm!
I have a carrera vengeance. I must say it survive me well. But mine is an old one. With no motor. I'm the motor. Lol. Good review. Thanks for sharing & all the best. 👍😁
You should try the zoom suspension seat post 15.99 and wide seat 5.99 both on ebay that makes a ebike full suspension and a seriously comfy ride
Great review. Theres an ebike dealership in my village. Just a little corner shop. It used to be quiet and was only open by appointment. Now they are busy everytime I pass. Great to see them making money in these times and getting folk to take it up. A friend of mine who got one said it gave him plenty of exercise still but with increased options. He could go further and/or take it easier on his rides. Win win.
This is the best review of the Carrera Vengance e-bike that I have seen.
I bought this bike 2 days before the lockdown began.
What a godsend. I've used it to commute into London everyday for the last 2 months.
I have a few steep hills to get up and down enroute, and the power assist for an 56 year old with dodgy knees is brilliant.
With the money that I am saving on train fares, it will have payed for itself within 6 months.
Dude, loved your review, i was unsure whether or not to get this bike and this tipped me over the edge👍
I am an old geezer, and not in very good health, but that new bike sure looks like fun. I haven't really ridden since the early 70's, and I know there have been many changes for the better since then. I didn't know they made electric bikes, but I might have to check it out. I could use one where I live in Oklahoma to go to some of my sites I detect.
Really good review. Thanks for posting.
great review.... I was thinking of something more powerful with the 1500W motor but you are right... I like Carrera value and this is really what I want to spend to start with
Well put. Just bought Carrera Subway E, similar layout - absolute magic!
What’s the battery like and motor up hills
I just bought myself a Giant Stance E-2, E-bike myself and I love it. It makes writing fun again. And I do get a good workout. The best $3900.00 I've ever spent... By the way nice video and well said. Drive safe and enjoy your E bike.... Oh yeah these bikes are great for climbing hills.
Great video Kris. It's a journey I'm hoping to embark on myself soon. I've never been a cyclist but have been taking my daughter on the back of a knackered old bike for a few weeks and she adores it, singing all the way. It's perfect for entertaining her for a few hours before bedtime. An ebike would be perfect as the hills are a killer. We don't need anything too fancy so that bike looks perfect 👌 cheers. Ps if you ever find yourself up near North Yorkshire you are very welcome to come for a dig and a pint. All the best!
Sold! Great honest review I'm gonna buy one even tho hallfords have inflated the price the gits
I noticed that as well! 😡
got mine £949 in halfords 2 months ago
Halfords are pretty cheap right now, especially compared to other bike shops. You can spend up to £8k on an ebike, so under a grand is cheap!
Thanks mate, you sold me. 🇦🇺
Good content video 👍🏼
What year of manufacture is this bike a £899 they are over a grand now
That also sounded noisy but may of been how close you were filming
Good honest review matey. Bought mine second hand last August , done 1000mls since with no problems. After having back op's regular bike bit to much on hills, this is just perfect . Eco mode last 50 miles on mixed roads slightly less on steep terrain. Agree with saddle comment after 20miles even with cycling shorts 'monkey butt' rears its ugly head!
4900 miles and still going strong on a Carrera ebike,how you look after it depends on reliability, ive got a 2019 model with 5 E speed modes,been told by a Halfords employee the first one's are the best apparently?
Good review, I couldn't help thinking that a comparison against a lightweight standard bike with 300 gears would have been interesting considering the e bikes weight.
A good interesting review. I thought about buying that bike but am probably going to go for the crossfuse. Having dodgy knees I think the ebike will enable me to keep doing my commute on 2 wheels.
I am a detectorist and just got an Econic One e-bike for all the same reasons.
I'm thinking about the subway e.
E-bikes. The possibilities are unlimited. Thanks for the great overall review.
Grand vlog. Pleasant to here your enjoyment from this Ebike. Hope you still get the same pleasure when court in heavy rain.
I've moved onto a trike, Maybe a recumbent with assist soon. This being the pinnacle in cycling with assist. the more cycling we as nation do, Our country will recover some. Cheers
Cheers mate. Im seriously considering buying the carrea crossfuse. Been doing a lot of research.
Buddy, would that bike go up that steepness of hill without your effort? I'm 70 and have rather weak legs, but that hill in my neck of the woods is classes as very steep, Lincolnshire? Thanks very good video.
You have rear hub motor which aren't great on hills. Mid mount motors can manage steep hills okay because they utilise gears more effectively. Hub motors fine for other applications but not steep hills.
Great vid, bought one a month a go after watching this! But do you know what shade of red is used on the bike?
Excellent real world review - thank you. Still not 100% convinced, but heading in the right direction. For my commute, I have one huge hill, and then all good, but I need assistance for that mountain, and from the sound of it, not going to get it from this bike.
i bought the same bike in halfords 2 months ago i change the brake to shimano mt200 dlhydraulic brakes, and tyres to continental. if only they didnt cap the speed to 17khr( this is the speed i notice motor stops helping you), yes the bike is heavy but with the motor you barely feel it, you still have good exercise, im using it 3x a week to work
I love it Mr Bleeps, I put my fold up Go-Find 44 in my backpack and go detecting on my mountain bike 👍
Great advice thank you
best youtuber ever
Isit still going strong, I just bought one today and I'm already panicking 😂
This one died after about 18 months. An error code appeared that couldn’t be easily fixed. I’m guessing yours will be a newer, more up to date model though 👍🏻
Admire the absolute brutal honesty on this... 😆
Great review, I'm looking at them now, but they are £1099!!!
Is your bike the vengeance 2.0??
I've just got a new one selling it for £700
Hi mate, where abouts in the south east are you? I live in deal but don’t recognise where you’re filming !! Looking at buying one of these for my college commute, thanks for a decent review !
Hello mate, I’m down in Folkestone :)
Still 100% recommend the bike. I love it 😁
Great review mate. I have a carrera Vulcan espec mountain bike. I have done 1100 miles in 11 weeks, i am much fitter Now than i was 11 weeks ago. 👌
Bit of a shame about the rear suspension, but the fact of the matter is that having both rear suspension and rear carrying ability is a bit of a niche market in bicycles at the moment, and it's only very recently that the concept has even been justified by electric assistance. About the only bicycle-type ebike you could get like that right now is the R&M high end bikes and those cost thousands of pounds.
Fantastic review. Thank you for this.
It's like a car battery on the downtube
Hills!!.. Whoever thought 250w was enough don't live in Wales. The hills are long and steep, one particular hill near by and just happens to be one I have to take on the return ride is ridiculously steep.
I'm fine with 15.5mph max assist but would prefer a motor that would assist at least 50/50 with these Welsh mountains and give my knee a break.
I seen several e bikes around town.. Don't think I've seen a 250w motor on any of them.
I enjoyed your review. You've made me want to take the plunge.
hi excellent video . just bought this bike on 15.05.20 seat is hard but apart from that it,s great . i am 63 and needed to get fit so the ebike is great for me. ps your setup is the same as mine they could be twins. lol
Great review. Down to earth with patter I understand. Thanks 😀👍
Nice bike dude, I've just got myself a Van Nicholas Revelstoke they cost over 5k so don't let people say a bike is not worth it ;) I'm happy to see you're enjoying the bike my friend, my old touring bike had a shimano alfine hub which only had 8 gears also but I cycled thousands of miles since 2013 and still not serviced it as it's running fine. will have to all meetup for a detect in the future. peace
Great honest review. I am not keen on the noise from the electric motor.
Great honest review, Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Love the E-Bilke but they are a luxury for most people, not much good for a family person cause you cant get the three kids on it for the trip of 50 miles to the beach, etc.
Great item to have and easy to maintain.
