    Hello new friends. I recently decided to go car-free. So far it's been good - most of what I need is nearby and I can walk. But there are a few places that are up to five miles away and an eBike might help there. I found your video to be concise and very informative. I had no idea what factors to consider and your video laid it out succinctly and in detail. Thanks much!

    Hi, good video, I just bought my New Fox20 E Bike from a local E Bike shop in my city. It's all custom with a side mirror, Fedog™ horn/alarm, INWA™blue tooth speaker for music, bottle holder with a Thermal bottle, a flat key steel bike U-Lock, CarryBright™front and rear turn signals (it already came with front and rear lights with break lights), a HOMCOM™Moped Trunk, a personalized 'JOE' bicycle license plate and a suspension seat from my old scooter. I use a VCAN™Helmet with a Face Visor most of the time and VCAN™ Open Face Helmet for warm days.

    I’ve been looking for a e-bike for several months, but It’s so confusing to find right bike and what size do I need with my hight 5”5’ and inseam 29.5cm is daunting experience . because this is my very first e-bike and I prefer lightweight, easy sliding in&out with folding bike for leisurely use. Thanks for useful info and will checkout your website for the prices.👍

    Great video and nice produced, at the same time, even though it clearly wasn't supposed to be a scientific tests, and it's hard to spec all bikes similarly, but IMO it would be better to make a single biker test all motors and with a power measurement ideally in the pedals

    • @bobk18
      @bobk18 Рік тому +1

      It’s not that difficult but you better have the right wrenches with you. 45 minutes from start to finish and back riding. That’s removing the battery, taking the seat off and loosening the controls on the handlebar so you don’t bugger them up when you turn the bike upside down. It might be a little daunting for some people I guess. If you’re going to ride you better be prepared to repair.

    before NYCE went out of biz they sent me a Large . I didn't know until 2 weeks of riding and batt was loose. told them it was loose and i order Medium . they sent a 2nd Batt and an 800 usd refund . The size suddenly did not matter in this case . the advent and popularity of 1 size-fits-all E-scrambler says size ain't such a big deal too . as a avid acoustic biker its clear that a Lot of meaningful adjustment can be done with Stem , Bars ,Saddle and Post. Especially if the Price and Power is Right

    I wanted to know how long the batteries will last and will I be able to purchase more in the near future. without the ability to purchase batteries the investment will be worthless. manufactures are always coming out with new models. I want my bike to last 10 - 15 years, minimum!!! It is a big investment.

  • @KevinLloyd-ug3zu
    @KevinLloyd-ug3zu Рік тому +2

    The only advice I can give don't buy any e-bike with a motor of 250W. No way! Don't believe ones who tell you it has 'enough power to assist riding uphill', cause it's a lie. Maybe, some bikes made of titanium alloy and having some hidden features in their motors can, but not ones with price around £1000. Never! For this money all you'll get is a heavy piece of metal as twice heavier as normal bike, or even more, which gives you absolutely no assistance as soon as you meet some steep hill. I hope the one who declared 250W e-bike the only legal in UK, he'll ride one heavy 250W bike in hell, forever, cause he really deserves it.
