Samebike XWXL09 Review (folding, fat-tire, ebike)
my review of the samebike XWXL09 or XWLX09. this was supposed to be a quick 5 minute mini-review but it didn't turn out that way. overall, at $1700 CAD I like the bike, but its just a bit too slow for an alleged 750watt motor. i filmed this whole thing on my smartphone with no external mic so please excuse any video/audio issues.

I know this is a three year old wheel but as a new euc rider I think my opinion has some value. also I filmed this review on my smartphone so that's why the audio is unbalanced.

A quick unboxing and review of the Amazon quikobo sports sunglasses. I also show you how to swap the lenses.
I have this same bike and can only get max 32kph out of it. Is there no way to get this bike faster? I had thought that at 750w it could do a bit better.
No, the top speed is 32kph. It cannot go any faster. Believe me, I've tried everything. I actually don't believe the motor is 750w. I think maybe it can peak at 750 but it's nominal power is much less.
@@rich566 got to be 500w motor for sure! One positive thing though the range is quite good
Car faster dough 😅
Give the ebike motor more battery 😅😮
Buy a other trong battery friend 😅😊
Hello friend good so enjoy your bike riding 😮😅
Mann you should see how i have modified mine. Btw excellent review!!
Thanks! What did you do to yours?
Hi, I'm from the SAMEBIKE team and would like to get in touch with you.
Sure, what would you like to know?
@@rich566 Can you send me your email, or I can send you mine?
@@zirongouyang you can send me your email if you'd like.
@@rich566 Did you get a free bike? :D
@@RedMayan2012 lol nope. I think I took too long to respond because I haven't heard from them.
great video man! great review! best one i could find for this model!
Glad you liked it.
Great review
Thanks
@@rich566 what is the best electric bike for the same money in your opinion please
@@frankiebraiden9174 honestly I'm not sure. I haven't researched other ebikes since I bought this one. I'm still riding it with no issues.
Kiero comprar una como esa precio...
Great review, thanks Rich! I'm watching videos for a week now and and this one is the final decision maker :) I'm gonna buy a V10F. I'm so curious how I'll get on with it. Never rode a skate board or anything :)
Go for it man you won't regret it. I still ride mine daily. I've put over 5000kms on it and have had no issues at all. You'll do fine, it just takes practice and you'll eventually get the hang of it.
@@rich566❤ How heavy you are?
@@3CityRide 170lbs
@@rich566 thanks. Have a great day there!
Hi how this bike woork now?? Eny comment please
The bike is still working great.
Would you go for this samebike or the engwe ep2 pro? I’m not sure which to go for and need a little advice please.
Well it seems like the ep2 pro is a much faster bike. I've seen videos of people easily going above 40km/h (25mph) whereas the samebike is very slow and underpowered. I guess it's a personal choice. Based on the speed alone I'd probably go with the engwe.
@@rich566 thanks for the reply Rich.
Hi Rich in the end I got this samebike, absolutely love it and agree with all u said in the review. Will definitely be changing the seat though.
@MrTaylormade59 yes the stock seat definitely needs to be changed. I'm happy you like the bike. I still ride mine all the time, i have well over 1k kilometers on it and it still runs great.
Is the left brake lever for the rear or front brake?
The left brake lever is for the rear brake.
DO NOT BUY SAMEBIKE.....I have the xwc05, 160 miles , 3 motors and two controllers replaced and now I have a glorified $1500 petal bike... RUN AWAY as fast as you can!
I'm sorry this happened to you. I haven't had any issues with mine though. I hope you get it resolved.
Motor losses at miles 28, 75, and 158. Ive had it for only 2 1/2 years and their customer service is nonexistent The only good thing is the battery, it sat for half a summer and a whole winter in the cold and only lost 2% charge. Now all I can hope for is to dump it for parts.... BTW, Are ya looking for some spare part??? 😄
Excellent video.
Thanks
Great review! This will be my first wheel. I just wish they made the outer shell a matte black instead of the glossy black so you dont see the scratches
Thanks. The glossy black looks so stylish though. Anyway you won't regret your purchase. I still ride mine daily and in the two years I've owned it I have not had any problems whatsoever. I'm actually going to be changing the tire soon because I have passed 4000kms on it. It's a perfect wheel!
Very nice review thank you. I am concidering that bike because we have summer house in deep valley without car access, it is quite steep, but this bike should handle it
Mate go into your menu setting and go to P14 and put it on 20 then go to P7 and put it on 100 then go to P18 and put that on 120.I bet you will get more performance out of it....Do a video to show me if I am right.. I own 4 e bikes myself... 3 are 750w one 250w.....
Thanks for the advice. I'll try that out as soon as I get a chance.
not possible to change P14 to 20 ...
Hey Rich thanks for uploading a English review of the bike and thanks for showing me new features like cruise control i didnt even know that.
No problem.
I had an S830 display before. If it's unlocked, hit + and - together until it enters programing mode. You'll see a "P01" at the bottom. Go to "P08" and crack the number to 50Km/h or higher, then do a speed test...
What bike did u have it on
@@kyedaguy. Many, what do you need help on?
@@chrissinclair8705 you spoke about unlocking the speed limit so I was wondering on what bike
Hi Rich - good review, thanks - am considering buying this as I was in a store today where the staff were singing it's praises - question - would you buy it if you were using it on hills frequently. I've a daily commute of about 30km in and out but there is a bit hill in the middle, about 1.5 to 2km climb each way, reasonably steep? thanks
Do you mostly pedal during your commute or do you plan on primarily using the throttle? If you will be pedaling up the hill using pedal assist then you will be fine. However, if you only use the throttle, then there will be issues. The bike does not like hills, it lacks the power to ascend steep hills and will bog down. I hope this helps.
Wow, this is the best review of this model that I could find. I have bought it cause for the peice of this bike it has been the best that I could find. Thanks for the video!
No problem. Glad you liked it!
Watched this again (really is a good review), reread my questions I posted below and I'm more confident that this is the wheel for me. Now I need to go buy it before I change my mind. Again. LOL Regarding the handle, I saw another review where the rider stuck velcro under the handle to keep it in position when his clip broke.
Yes that velcro is actually a good idea. Maybe I'll try it out. I'm still riding the wheel and have had no issues with it. I'd say it's a solid purchase for a first wheel.
Hey Rich - Great review btw, but I have question, why are there two versions of the bike, be it the XWXL09 and XWLX09, is one better than the other? They are showing different torque rating on sites but they are not sold on the same site, its either one or the other. Talk about confusing as hell.
Yes it's very confusing and I don't know the difference. The one I purchased from their site is listed as xwxl09. But the bike I got has xwlx09 printed on the side of it. It's a mystery. Maybe the site has a typo. There are many typos on the site, so it's possible.
@Untold nice, I'm glad you like it.
squeeky brake pads.. like a car with brake discs they get dry so it would help if you take the pads out and apply some copper grease to the back of the pads where the little pistons push against the pad and that should stop the squeeke issue.
The breaks have been squeaking since day one. Maybe I'll try your idea.
@@rich566 I have the same issue especially when it has rained.
I got a deal to buy a used one with 1600km on it, the price is 900usd should I go for it anything to look out for?
I'd say go for it. That's a great price and the wheel is solid. Just make sure it's not too banged up.
Yes samebike XWLX09 is a very good electric bike
Yes it's a fun bike. It just needs more power.
@Untold they claim it is 750w. But I don't think it is. It's very underpowered.
@Untold the pushing power is OK. But the top speed is low.
I'd be interested in you trying something for me. I have the same bike and due to a silly rookie error, set the key in the wrong position and lost it during some off road riding. So my question is, have you tried using the bike with no key, as I've been told by the supplier that the key is only to lock the battery even though it has another position to lock the key in. I think that I'm being feed some crap and that the battery is faulty, but would appreciate some input from a fellow rider. Apart from the key issue, the bike is great especially off road, great fun. Great vid also
Hi, my bike will not turn on unless the key is in it. Basically the bike only works with the key. Are you saying that your bike works fine with no key? What is happening with your battery?
@@rich566, I can basically slide the battery in, lock the frame and go, no need to even lock the battery in place. There's obviously an issue with lock and I have power all of the time, so I'll go back to the supplier. Thanks for helping out. Two points on your vid, the bike will handle 180kg/330lb, so that would explain the weight and I've bought folding pedals so I don't have that smaller pressure point when lying it in the car. Great informative vid, thanks for posting and helping out
@@jasonstab6453 no problem. Happy to help. Quick question, do you feel like the bike is underpowered for an alleged 750w motor? On most days I can barely hit 28kph. Is yours as slow as mine?
@@rich566, I'm in Australia and we have the 500w motor and the speed is set at 25km/h, but it does feel like it wants to go faster. After watching your vid, I've reset the speed limit and after giving it a go with the rear wheel off the ground it topped out at 40, so I'm looking forward to getting out over the weekend and see what it goes like now
@@jasonstab6453 ok. Well let me know how it goes.
My V10F easy charging to 100%
Nice. Mine still doesn't but it's still running strong.
You're really good at making reviews. I think you should keep on uploading stuff. come on!
Wow thanks. But I don't have anything else to review. I just made this video for fun.
<3 inmotion ftw! <3 My v8f is a tank to! I got a pal who got around 5000 km on a v5f, and it has no issues! I know two with v10 v10f, and they to are super satisfied. These old black inmotions is TANKS! <3
I think I’m gonna make the decision to buy one of these, I’m just curious how often you fall with it
I fell on day two while I was still learning. Since then I haven't fallen. I ride very conservatively and defensively. I never do anything stupid while riding.
At 6min mark, is that the top speed?
Did you encounter any issues sir?
Nope. No issues at all to this day.
@@rich566 are you hitting the speed limit now?
very helpful thank you from Ireland
No problem!
The reason you can only charge to 96% is that this type of battery last longer @ that charge level. This is also true for your cell phone. You can charge it 100% but it's not a goòd idea..
Hi and thank you for the excellent review. I've never ridden any EUC so I apologize for all the questions. :) 1) around @5:00 you are riding around and I noticed your knees and are not tight against the knee pads of the wheel - I thought as a rider you would need to squeeze the wheel but from your video that does not appear to be the case. Can you confirm for me? 2) If you are at a stop sign/stop light, can you or are you able to rock back and forth or do you have to get off the wheel? I've ridden hoverboards and would just rock back and forth until safe to cross the street - I would not need to step off of the board. Likewise, I did not experience any issues with damaging the board by doing this. 3) May I ask how old you are? I'm approaching 50, good shape, 145 pounds and wondering if it's stupid for me to even consider picking up this hobby at my age. 4) Do you find that you get any exercise from riding this or is it primarily for fun (I know in another comment you mention you use this for work and play; my question stems from that comment)? 5) @7:00 you talk about slips - Can you elaborate a bit more on what this means? In my mind, I'm picturing you standing on top of the wheel and the wheel is spinning but you are not actually moving. Is this correct? 6) Great advice for the air pressure - I haven't heard that from other reviews I've watched. I'd also be a cruiser rather than a stunter. Lower tire pressure _should_ help more in with grip in the off road scenarios, too. When I had a Jeep Wrangler, we'd air down for more comfort and traction. I bet no one has ever compared an EUC to a Jeep Wrangler before! LOL 7) Speaker - I HIGHLY doubt I'd be playing tunes through the wheel but in the event I do, is the speaker good? On the hoverboard I had, it was awful at best. It should not have even been listed as a selling feature on the hoverboard. 8) What attracted you to an EUC?
Hi Daryl, #1 no you definitely do not want to squeeze the wheel with your knees. The wheel needs to have a little play while riding. #2 while stopped, you can rock back and forth if you want but taking a step off the wheel is easier in my opinion. (Riding backwards is very difficult) #3 I'm a few years younger than you and at 170lbs i can ride the wheel just fine. I would definitely recommend picking up this hobby now. #4 riding the wheel does not provide any exercise whatsoever. I use the wheel for commuting and for fun. #5 the wheel only slips when on a slippery surface like mud or snow/ice. Otherwise I have never slipped. #6 also keep in mind you don't want the air pressure to be too low as that will affect your range. #7 I have never used the euc speaker for music. I use a small separate Bluetooth speaker while riding #8 what attracted me to the euc was the small size & portability. Also the range. I have limited space where I live so I can store the euc in my closet when not in use. I hope this answers all of your questions.
Did you buy one sir?
@@Cons2911 I haven't yet, had some unexpected high dollar expenses come up. Hopefully next month I can get the V8S. That seems to be the sweet spot for my weight, the speed I would be comfortable with, and the distance I could theoretically cover (I'm assuming half the manufacturers claim).
@@TheRoadTaken oh no worries sir. I'm aiming for 10f maybe higher. But I'm not in the US so choices are a bit limited. They had pretty good ones they got sold when I was still deciding. I'm not sure if I'll go all out or save money and go 10f. Decent power and range, tho I imagine that will feel low after a while
Also forgot the most important part of EUC riding...Helmet, Wrist Guards, and Knee pads (minimum at 20mph/35kph).
I love this wheel! Like you said it's very easy to learn on this wheel. It's so easy to ride and really nimble.
absolutely, a solid wheel. I've ridden it all through the winter and it still works great.
Just got these and couldn't figure out how to swap them without breaking anything, thanks for the tutorial 👍
Happy to help!
Nice job on the review. I just got mine in December and have had fun learning so far. Apartment hallway since it's winter in MN but I should be ready to roll outside when the weather warms up.
Thanks. I still ride mine regularly even now in January. As long as the pavement is dry I'm out there.
@@rich566 I got up the nerve to ride outside. I took it to a friend's house to show him the ECU and rode it around the block in 10 degrees temps and snow packed streets. I was surprised it didn't slide out from under me.
@@mikejennen3117nice. it's funny you mention that, I was riding yesterday and totally wiped out while riding through some snow. I won't be doing that again.
@@rich566 I'm in MN. Where are you?
You should buy protective gear dude. At least a helmet :O
Your broken clip for the handle can be replaced with a v5f clip the same part as the V10
Really? I'm going to look into that. Thanks.
Very helpful review. Thanks 谢谢🙏🙏
Glad you liked it.
Does anyone try to make this wheel tubeless? Is it a good idea just to add sealant inside the tube if total tubeless conversion is too painful?
Great video! I will buy V10F as well. Just want to ask you is it possible to travel with Inmotion v10f by train in Canada? Via Rail Canada web page saying that everything more than 100 watts hour is prohibited item. Do you have any real-life experience to travel with this wheel inside the train in Canada? If it's possible somehow it's a real ideal personal transportation. Thank you in advance for any of your thoughts/advice. Maybe hiding the wheel inside the bag will work?
Hi. I have never taken the wheel on via rail. I have only taken it on local public transport trains and have never had any issues. I can't imagine them giving you a hard time. If they question you than just tell them the wheel is a 100 watt hour vehicle. How could they prove you wrong?
Excellent review, I got the v11 recently, love riding it but still a bit learning to do, done about 400 miles , but I'm getting better the more miked I do, do u use yours to commute or just for fun ?, great video
Thanks! I use my v10f for both actually. Commuting and cruising around. You're absolutely right, the more miles you rack up, the more natural it becomes. It's so easy for me now, although I still cannot ride backward no matter how hard I try.
Great review! Thanks for sharing. 👊👍
No problem at all. Thanks for watching!
We in the V10F Club 👍👊
Yes. It's a great wheel. I ride it daily.
Me too my man. 👍😎
Great review video! One of the better reviews I’ve seen. I wish we could go riding 🙏🏼
Wow that's so kind of you. Thanks!
