I’m just checking up too. Always enjoy your videos. Hope you’re doing well. 😊
Good stuff. Thanks for the video.
Top job allways a big big 👍 from brother tyson keep up the hard work as watching u helps my videos get better as your video s thr way u put them togever is amazing top job 👍 👍
Thanks chap much appreciated, yeah editing is difficult on windows movie maker as very limited to what you can do, but I make the most of it and most of the time the videos come out OK. Just a shame a 8 minute video takes 3 days to create haha. Many thanks
Great review, what luggage do you have on this bike, looks excellent and suits the bike.
Got any videos in the pipeline Hippy? Not seen one for a while.
hello thank you for your video on this bike at a good price because I do not have great means I changed the battery and I put a 15 AH which transformed this bike in power and autonomy and finally I changed the display for a 6-pin S866 and am very happy I would like to change the front fork but I don't have the budget yet thank you good luck
The point of electric bikes is to pedal in sync with the motor speed. Rohloff works best. You should pedal with a throttle.
I really agonised over buying an e bike after my heart attack. But when we moved home up a very hillly area in Spain I really did not have a choice! I know it was an expensive bike but I bought a specialized tero 3 and love it. I can travel about 80km on a charge, which includes getting 4 km back up to our housee at 650m altitude. I mainly follow a river route and explore the area with my panniers and a back pack. However, last weekend i went to a local mountain and reached 1050m altitude and over to the other valley. I weigh 90kg and this bike has 3 settings. Eco. Trail and turbo. I am confident of a full 5 to 6 hours ride. It has opened up my love of cycling again. Thanks hippy for this.
Wow a true bike test for sure up those hills, glad it's helping you out as they are great fun and very practical if you know the limits on battery life. Thanks for popping in to comment 👍 enjoy this upcoming year
Hey! So im currently in the market for an ebike to replace my car and stumbled across this bike! And so far this seems to stand out but just seems too cheap for what it can do 🤔 would you personally recommend this for someone looking to commute 12 miles daily? Oh and great vid too!
Hey thanks, if you use the assist mode you should be able to travel on this bike over that distance without issues. The manual says 60km on assist mode & throttle mode only is 30km. I normally use assist mode for more miles, and this works very well. I find big hills drain the battery faster but that is to be expected. Hope this helps
You can get a bafang kit for about 400-500 and make any bike you want a good ebike.
Bro, if you want a battery with it, it costs 700+
@@jairusmeyer9378 I got a 20ah battery in a kit for 490 like 2 or so years ago. Maybe certain resellers are trying to charge more as the popularity has massively increased.
@@UKgamer87 yo, pls send me a link to such a kit, because i'm just searching for one and i was really disappointed about the high prices 😂
@@jairusmeyer9378 maybe they gave me a cheaper battery that they can't sell in the UK now for whatever reason? You're best bet is going on Ali express etc if you want a cheap kit. I would however buy a kit here from Amazon and try to get a battery I can afford here that's Panasonic etc
Hey Luke you good brother…..been a long time since I seen anything from you brother. Hope all is good 👍
@@jaybyrdsshenanigans I'm still here buddy thanks for checking in. I'll get on some videos soon I hope. Portugal this year 👍
@@hippyswift all good brother 👍 just wanted to make sure you were okay 😃👊👍
I haven’t gone over to the “dark side” yet. However, I’m approaching 70 years of age so the day may come.😅. Possibly one of the drawbacks in a group setting is, whereas previously it was the fit and the unfit, now it’s bike and ebike.
how about testing it with a flat battery
he hippy long time i don t se one of your video , pop up on my notification :)
Great test looks pretty decent for the money the downside is the range but most E bikes at this price are the same. if it done 60 miles I would buy one
Great vid buddy nic editing 👍
great info thanks......cool
Hope all is well.. been sometime since an upload
I'll be back soon I hope 👍
Hippy has ur eleglide broke in 2 months I’ve had mine since Christmas and it’s broke the brakes have gon come with a flat tire not the throttle spring has come out
Send that crap back mate, mine still works fine no issues however I did take the throttle off a few weeks back
I've missed your videos mate, glad to catch up with this one.

Thanks david 😁
Hello, I am an international student in England. I am thinking of buying this bike. I have added very hard money. Tell me the truth, is this bike good or not?
No!!
🔥
In the States manufacture recommendations:
-250w 36v children 12 & under
-500w 36v teenager 16
-750w 48v adult flat terrian
-1000w 48v adult hilly terrain
-1500w 48v adult bikepacking
Something over 250w it's illegal in EU
are you still active bro any more videos
Hopefully soon chap, thanks for checking in 👍
@@hippyswiftYep. I enjoy your videos. Just some down to earth stuff that I like.
Is this guy still alive
I like the idea of the electric bike 👍 but I chose to stick with the simpler pedal bike
Like the new video style.
Thanks, just being myself 👍
Good to see another video after a while. Few issues with this bike though....
First off, the presence of the throttle means it's not a road legal uk/eu e-bike ( best called pedelec). What you're riding is a motorbike. A motorbike that needs a "type approval" , tax, registration, number plate, helmet, etc, etc. So you're breaking a bundle of laws and, if caught, or if police found some evidence of you riding it on publicly accessible "way", you could be prosecuted for bundle of separate offences. (A legislative road can be summed up as a way for travelling along that the public have a least tolerated trespass along even if that is only by foot.). In the video the paths you cycle along are legislative roads, but the beach is not.
As with most cheap ebikes, the max distance given is grossly generous. To be fair most companies do this. For a battery that small you're looking at half the given distance.
Battery does appear to be missing a battery management system, which are little devices in the battery pack that balance the charging of the batteries, and commonly report the percentage left value to you via a bluetooth app. These bluetooth apps systems are really important, because you can stop charging at 90% and nearly double the "lifetime" of the battery.
Motor is built into the rear wheel. Mid-hub motors are, arguably, better since the power goes through the gears. Suspect the actual motor is 500w, with 250w limitation which would also make it illegal, but hard to be sure with language used in spec.
If you want a cheap ebike, and are confident with bike tools, then build your own. Two motors stand out. The Bafang mid-drive or Tongsheng mid-drive. Bafang is dominant and is/was cheaper, but the Tongsheng has the big advantage of torque based assistance and very little drag when off. Also get a bigger battery than you need from a reliable battery pack dealer, and make sure it has a Bluetooth battery management. Try not go over 90%, and preferably store at 70%. This can double/triple the life of the battery. Think of the battery a bit like tube/tyre that gets stressed under high pressure.
Yes many people have created very nice electric bikes with kits etc, I may have to pimp up my mtb with one at some point. Yeah battery is a very rough guide at best, but having said that it's much better for on road & if you put slick tyres on it, it would do a bit further too 😁 electric motorbikes are judged by speed & can not have ved expenses like fossil fuel cars. Anything over 25mph needs a provisional licence and over 50mph needs at least a cbt training coarse to ride lagally and also need plates.
Hello, I am an international student in England. I am thinking of buying this bike. I have added very hard money. Tell me the truth, is this bike good or not?
Hi, this bike is good. I have used it for nearly 1 year and it is still working great. If you look on different websites you can get this cheaper than rrp 😁
No good on a few days adventure, can't charge 'em in the woods mate.
Please someone tell me how do you get the throttle working on this bike. Do i need to turn it on somehow? Ive connected it and no respond. I tried different one and the same
It should plug in and go chap. I didn't have that issue personally. Hope it works for you soon
I ordered one. Hope it comes next week, cant wait to ride it!
Have fun & stay safe.
How was it? Would you recommend?
Yeah it's OK but they're coming out with better ebikes every day so get one this coming winter when prices fall
hi i’m interested and would like to know if you have to build this yourself?
Hi, no all you have to do is put the handlebars on and front wheel. 😁
@@hippyswift thanks
@@hippyswift is this hard to do
Wait I got the same e-bike and it goes 15.5 mph
i just seen a incredidible e bike called freygeist 12 kg 70 to 100klm for 4000 eur but i dont like e bikes
hello buddy , so much to say , would be better if you pop in , i can tell you and you can use my advice or not , lol
here a better option than rubbish e bikes sachonette/hercules made a bike with a fuel engine in the wheel, 1,7 litres of fuel does 100 kilometres plus you can pedal too it dont take long just in fuel station no 8 hours charging
DOOD!
e bike is nothing more than a moped i prefer mopeds you can pedal them to get up the hills but bi was born with legs and muscles i use them
