    I got one of these after watching your review and absolutely love it. It is much bigger and heavier than expected, but so easy to ride. I keep it restricted of course :)

    Been seriously looking in to 1 of these as I think my car is about to fail its MOT probably for the final time but what has started to get me a little is the prices , especially when they seem to be giving them to every youtube channel around at the moment , does make we wonder what they're profit margins are , personal rant over dont let that take anything away from the quality of your review just wish I could afford 1 ( so yea maybe jealously as well haha ) keep it up fella

      Lol, they are great fun mate, totally my first experience with one. I must admit, I was surprised they contacted, and didn't believe it until it actually turned up. It does look like they are really pushing to get these bikes into the market, and presumably preempting the change in the laws over here regarding restrictions. I watched. A few reviews on them, and in fairness, they seem very competitive in price👍👍

      With the pedal assist it is pretty pokey, legal limit is 15.5mph I believe, but obviously down hill my weight and the bike takes over. There is a single battery option at around 1100, and this one is 1300, but there is a voucher in the description for a discount 😉👍👍

  • @colinmaceachern9

    But did you look into the legalities of riding it on the main roads and public paths. Last thing I want to see is you getting done by the old bill. 😮

    • @FrugalOutdoors
      @FrugalOutdoors  2 месяца назад +1

      Thanks mate, yes bud, it's all good, it comes limited to 15.5mph, after that the pedal assist shuts off, so fully legal on road, if you do have access to private land, then it can be unlocked, but I wanted to show people what it can do, and do an honest review. It's so quick down hill, but that's literally coasting. I believe the laws are in the process of changing, so it will be interesting to see what happens. Thanks again mate👍😎😎

      @@FrugalOutdoorsbit more to it than that though, if the motor is higher than 250w or it has a throttle that goes above something like 4.5mph (walking assist) then it doesn’t comply with the regs, I think this thing has a 750w motor and a throttle, if that’s the case and you get stopped, you could get the bike seized, £300 fine and 6 points for no insurance.

    • @FrugalOutdoors
      @FrugalOutdoors  2 месяца назад

      @@adamran7533 appreciate your advice. The throttle does come locked and will only do 6kmh for push assist, but can be unlocked, but it is advised to only use it like that on private property. Hence why I said I wouldn't show how to unlock it. Indeed a 750w motor is not legal, however these rules are in the process of getting updated. I'm not really sure why the size motor makes a difference though if they are limited to 15.5mph. Do you have any thoughts on this. Many thanks for your input👍👍

      @@FrugalOutdoors yeah my thoughts are that having a limit on how fast the bike can attain its top speed is bizarre, we don’t do this with cars. E-bike are particularly useful to the overweight, like myself, who were it not for e-bikes wouldn’t bike at all, it it’s us especially who the current 250w limit impacts, I saw in feb they were thinking of changing it to 500w, hope this happens soon bit realistically look how long e-scooter legislation is taking, like 4 years now. If I were you I’d buy an eBay 250w sticker to put on the motor as the police sometimes look on the motor to see if it says it’s over 250w.

    Apart from sea fishing,e biking is my other past time...
    Just a heads up mate.....if you ride that on a public road or track over 15.7 mph assisted you are technically breaking the law and it should be taxed , insured and mot,d
    It'll get confiscated and crushed and you'll have points on your license,have a read up on ebike laws in UK,sorry to put a damper on things mate,just giving you a heads up!!

      Thanks mate, it was a lot of fun. Thanks for the advice buddy, I did look it up. It comes fully limited to 25kmh, it can be unlocked, which I did, and then only used it like that near the needles which is national trust property😉. It's difficult because where it's quite heavy, it picks up speed down hill so fast, and I can't keep up with the pedals 😂😂
