Over 1 000 km now and still satisfied. Drive mostly gravel and forest roads. I almost never use my car nowadays. Soon, the bike has paid for itself with today's petrol prices.
Really comfortable to sit on. The only downside was that I came across the Error 6 bug when I was 500 meters from my house after driving 45.5 km to and from work on one charge. Then everything dies and you have to step on the pedals manually. But help with lifting the battery one cm (out of the connectors) and then back so everything is as usual again. Do not know if there is some kind of safety catch that sets in when you have too high gear uphill and the battery is low? But I only use it as a moped on long straight, boring cycle paths if there are no pedestrians or other cyclists. Otherwise, I always step with assist 2. 1 = little assistance 2 = more assistance 3-5 = Lots of assistance and moped mode
Härlig review! Sitter i köptankar av en fatbike att ha som jobb-pendlare. Har strax under milen enkel resa till jobbet med ett par medeljobbiga backar. Hur tycker du den hanterar uppförsbacke? Hört en del snack om vissa fatbikes i denna prisklassen som är lite svaga uppför dessvärre.. Är du nöjd med cykeln överlag?😁 Må gott! Mvh Joel
Har du kvar din cykel och pendlar fortfarande? Jag har kvar min men den står inne nu i väntan på våren. Rekordet var 8.7 mil men trampade mycket själv eller körde assist 1. Medelhastighet 15.2 km/h och 440 höjdmeter.
Hej Ola. Jag undrar over vikten. Hur mycket vager den utan batteri som den star nu? Jag vill kunna vika ihop den och ta med den bak i bilen ibland, och pa bussen ibland
Hey.. thanks for the upload. Looking to buy this as I found a 20ah for $1160 USD.. the 24ah is about$90 more but I don't trust it as not many other bikes for sale are over 20ah so battery might not be reliable or safe. Would you recommend me to buy this in the 20ah?
Hi From UK Just bought CMACEWHEEL Y20 variant sold in UK as BGB Impala. I have HK-811 Display and wondered if anyone knew how to get into settings menu as holding in + and - doesn't do anything but holding all 3 buttons brings up 3 zeros and you can change from 1-9 but no options for P settings!
The tires in that GW20 are not puncture proof. A sharp crushed stone on the road as paving and that was enough to get a puncture. With a flat rear tire, the bike was practically unmovable. Tire repair kit was useless regarding to the enclosed pump. So now I'm looking for affordable tire liner, they are pretty expensive and most of them do not come with enough width for that four inch wide tire. Any suggestions?
I don't call these BFT tyres puncture magnets for nothing, Aussie 3 corner jacks being the main offender, broken glass and nails the usual other suspects, I always carry a patch kit like the one shown, a 13" floor pump and 8" shifter
Hey Handyman. Ive got the same bike, is your handlebar also a little wobbly, im wondering if thats okay, or if i should detach the display in order to tighten it.
Hi dude, it hasnt been a problem for me. My handlebar has an insex head bolt directly under the display. It is facing down to the ground. It can tighten the handlebar without removing the display
Hey, I havent experienced any problems yet with the battery. Have been riding 6months, also in rain and snow. I would protect the battery from getting hit by water from the front wheel. Ceck my other video
Have you been able to restrict the speed to 25 km/h as to make it legal in Sweden? I don't experience any difference when changing the P08 settings at all (was set at 100 from factory).
For me its no problem to reduce the max speed parameter, P08. When it comes to making it legal in Sweden I would also question the thumb throttle. Maybe it can be disbled?
@@andrewbrown4374 Tank you. I don't like the trottel when only take the 2X t20 km (32 miles) to and from my work. A little tricky way sometimes populate with people.
@@stormense I'm lost without throttle, it is a saviour for sticky situation where a quick getaway needed or negotiating tight spots or very short start/stop cycles when I pick bins at a fuel stop for bottles/cans
Original tires do not bother me. Not even on a paved bike path. Maybe worse in the summer when it's hot? I want your nice helmet. Where did you buy it?
Hi From Australia I enjoyed your video I think this bike is sold in Australia as Krystall Gw20 Did you say you are 190cm I had fear I would be to tall at 193cm
Hi mate, yes I am 190cm and the bike doesnt look like a toy bike with me on it. I was also afraid of that but my guess is that it is going to be difficult to find a larger model…
Exactly. And if they did. I would take them to court for ignoring the 1000s of delivery drivers who have bikes often with 750w plus motors and well over 20mph. Riding around everyday without penalty. European laws are a JOKE. A for person on a push bike can go 20mph plus. There should be a speed limit of 25mph for EVERYONE. push bike or motor. That's what there should be It just eats them that someone riding an ebike isnt paying road tax, insurance and doeant need a licence. That's what they dont like.

Den skulle skickas inom typ 5dagar men det tog nog en dryg månad innan den tillslut skickades från något ”Europalager”. Betalade via Paypal och de tog betalt innan leverans.

Tja, hade tänk cykla med den till jobbet varje dag, oavsett väder. Är det nån problem under vintertid eller när det regnar? Det är typ 8km till jobbet fram och tillbaka, hur ofta ska man ladda batteriet och hur lång tid tar det att ladda?

Love the energy 😂

Thanks for the video, always good to get more information, I bought one 2 weeks ago and I like it. Where are you? Norway? I’m in Australia
just ordered one on amazon with 20ah battery, looks promising.
How did you set the weel size i got the rx20 it also shows to fast
Is it ok to use in the rain? Like the electronics are protected?
Hola! Sr. Ola! Is it posible to adjust the throtle to max 6 kmh and the pedal assist to 27 kmh?

Do you know if it's EU Type Approved? Local laws require that all speed pedelecs are.
To get the saddle back to fit you just weave it in the baggage rack!
How is the battery holding up for you?
6months going now and battery is still good enough. I ride 30km every day and charge it at night

i bought the 20ah because i don't trust the 24 either, when it comes in, i will measure how much goes in at the first charge from empty.
Nice video...I have some ebikes at home as well but not this one.

Hey dude, got a variant of the gw20, same electronics. How did you experience riding on rainy days?
Hey dude, it works even in heavy rain - but i have improved the mudguard which is not good. Check my other video

@@handymanola8473 ah okay. lucky you ;) guess they put the screw on backwards for me.
Hey, do you know if the battery can withstand the rain or is it better to buy a waterproof bag? Just bought one and I'm afraid to get some rain

Thanks for answering!
It looks really great. But have you ever tried it during the rain?
Yes I have tried it in the rain. Works good
Thank you. Cause i havent seen any information regarding the bike which says its waterproof. Thats why i had doubts.
whats motor model, manufacturer, part no?

Wonder here to. My shows 10 km/h to fast.
If I remember this it was P06.
