Great Review, Great Bike! I gave $849 for my T42, Black Friday sale, Nov 2022. It's been great! 395 miles now and I upgraded my 11.2AH to 20AH for more range. I've added Lt side rear view mirror, Suntour NCX seatpost and Cloud 9 seat. Also RockBros rackbag w/panniers. Hydraulic brakes work well at coasting speeds over 50mph. I'm 74 yrs old now and going strong!
I bought this bike a year ago no regrets is extremely powerful I’ve clocked in at over 50 km/h here in Canada where there’s no restrictions. At 64 years old I’m sold 🌞.
Great bike just bought one about 6months ago, no problems at all. Just the peddles like the man said, but they're okay. A great review, no bull. Ohh they have gone up in price by £100 since I got my bike.
These E bike are really getting better, and much to offer at this price point. The attention to detail is great, like the grip handle on the seat, hydrolic breaks, and the form factor when folded! It was attacking those climbs with so much ease and reasonably handling those rough trails. A great EBike indeed Sir Chris👍👍
Being from Toronto and having this bike since March 2023, this thing has lived up to all my expectations. I opted for the 16 amp hour battery, and typically use pedal-assist 1 2 and 3 (and a bit of throttle). Riding on predominantly flat city roads, I get 65 km average. Highest I ever had was 89 km (pure pedal assist 2)
@@gates1980 I'm around 220 and 6'2. It's been excellent for me. Just passed 1000KM on the odometer. I did have to change the rear tire (much easier than expected), due to an odd pinch flat on the supplied tire tube, but a cheap and quick fix (travelled further on the new tires). The 89KM was achieved with no throttle, and pure pedal assist level 2. Admittedly, i did unlock the speed governor.
With all new versions of the T42 a speed limit can be set. If you have the old version G-Force can send a new controller so you can apply a speed limit.
I swapped my handle bars round put BMX one's on mine feels so much better feels nice tight now ,with the bars that come with this shape bike feels abit wobbly makes a world of a difference, you be able to take it on most trails then bud .and yes you can adjust the bars so they fold back
This is one of the best folding ebikes on the market wish i seen this before i buy..the only thing i don't like is the spoke wheels..i rather mag wheels and the throttle should be twist on the right side.. other than that it's a great performer 👍🏽
Nice bike. Will you be doing a review of the Heybike Tyson anytime soon? For a little more money, it adds alot of amazing features. Unibody, 4g modem for antitheft and remote capabilities, front and rear turn signals, 28mph, 750 watt motor, etc.
48V battery is 54.2V max and 22A controller... 54.2 x 22 = 1,192.4W peak. I've had mine well past 50kph. and coasted over 80kph. Hydraulic Brakes did extremely well...
Interesting bike. Chris do you think with all the different bikes and scooters you ride about on some people there are starting to wonder if you're a professional ebike/scooter "borrower"? 🤣
Hi, i am looking for a escooter or ebike that can go up a steep hill, i see that you are located in Denia and i was wondering if you would know something that could get up the hills of cumbre del sol in Moraira?

For the price point definitely 💯 one of the better ones I’ve reviewed for those after a foldable bike.

That's great to hear and thanks for the feedback i had the smaller battery for my tests.
Just wondering how much you weight is it for ogger person???

@@chrisazor how u unlock it??

What new version are you referring to?
The ones sold from now on will have the option to set your own speed limit. The first models didn't (This one reviewed)

Good move! Thanks for the tip.
Where did you find the parts for the BMX upgrade?
£999 in the UK is a really good deal for what you get.
Think this might be my next eBike 👍
I think it is as it has the power and the hydraulic brakes most are missing.
Would it comply with the UK Law? I have been interested in this ebike too, its just very confusing when it says the maximum output should be 250w.
@TechTablets This is illegal in your country. Like drugs. Just because you can buy it, doesn't mean you can use it or have it really in your country.
@@LoLErMan13 It may or may not be road legal but that doesn't mean it's illegal to use off-road or on private property 😛
Hey. You said about the loud tyre noise, but how loud is the motor?
This is one of the best folding ebikes on the market wish i seen this before i buy..the only thing i don't like is the spoke wheels..i rather mag wheels and the throttle should be twist on the right side.. other than that it's a great performer 👍🏽
I've got two more will be reviewing like this model. Engwe X and PVY Z20 Plus power 20" foldable ebikes.
Купил год назад электро-фэтбайк и кайфую!
Ya tengo esta por los comentarios que vi se me hizo una gran opción
Y
Es muy buena compra
Si es muy buena

If they would send me one yes I would love to review it.
Seems it's US/CA only?
@@Techtablets Oh, wow I didnt know that. Im surprised because they are based in china
Seems a pretty fair package for the price, made with decent quality components. Are there other tyres available as well as the off road ones?
Seems they don't, only comes with these tires. But you could find some other 20x4 inch ones off aliexpress or bike stores.
750w finally getting a bit more power. is it just 42V battery. The voltage is super important.
48v system this one not the weaker 36v
@@Techtablets Can you get Niu bikes in AUS?
Not sure sorry.
48V battery is 54.2V max and 22A controller... 54.2 x 22 = 1,192.4W peak. I've had mine well past 50kph. and coasted over 80kph. Hydraulic Brakes did extremely well...

I’m sure some are stating to think that 😅
@@Techtablets You should sling a pair of bolt cutters over your shoulder next test ride mate 😂
Hello Chris! Is this e-bike better than the ENGWE ENGINE PRO 750W 2022 version?
Well... the Engine Pro is 18A controller, T42 - 22A controller. engine pro has rear suspension, weighs a bit more...
Hi, i am looking for a escooter or ebike that can go up a steep hill, i see that you are located in Denia and i was wondering if you would know something that could get up the hills of cumbre del sol in Moraira?
The T42 throttle is 100% regardless of PAS setting. With this feature, it can easily tackle 30% grades with pedaling, of course.
Chris, can you recommend a foldable ebike which can carry kids as well? Thank you! :)
Well this one as it has the rear bike rack I think you could mount a seat on it
In your experience what fat wheel foldable would you go for? Or would you go for a non fat wheel, and which would it be? Many thanks.
This is one of the better ones for fat wheels.
@@Techtablets thanks for the reply. D'you favour the fat wheels over the non fat wheels?
the fat wheels can handle loose sand whereas the narrow tires can't
Nice eBike 👍
Thanks ✌️
Does anyone have the folding dimensions of this bike?
Is this better than the engwe
The Engine / Pro? Very similar bikes. A little better this one, better brakes.
T42 vs EP2... 22A vs 18A controller. T42 is more power, lighter weight. Still fits inside my hatchback
