Engwe X26 is my New Favorite E-Bike - High Performance Triple Suspension Monster

- I had previously wanted Engwe's X26 model, but a few design quirks held me back. Engwe's redesigned X26 really surprised me in just how capable and practical of a bike it is, so now that Engwe has re-released their new SUPER-X series, do the fixes to the design finally make the bike a worthwhile option?

I don't get why china makes 1 bike for tall people and small people complain?? Bro, you got million choices including girly pass through models. Glad engwe ignored Napoleon's on this one ..
Great review! Been deciding the X24 or X 26. I’m 6’1” and decided to go with the 24 model after your review. Thnx for helping make that decision easier.
I bought the Engwe X24 last week here in UK. black friday deap $1600 so reasonably happy. I am 5-9 foot tall and really thats the limit for the X24 regardless what Engwe says and some reviewers. My seat is at its lowest setting yet i am almost on tip toe sitting on it. It is a very heavy bike. I wanted the X26 originally because of the mag wheels but that would have been far too tall with 26 in wheels. Its a fun bike for the price and great looking. Twin batteries and hydrolic brakes..fat tyres..decent range if you use pedel assist mostly. Smooth ride
Hi, I'm from UK and just ordered one, but just found out that there illegal! Have you had any bother?
@@BrianGraham-uf3xfI don't particularly care about uk law regarding ebikes simply because it's outdated and not been researched properly. I have ridden illegal Escooters the past 3 years and stopped by police 3 times but no charge just a warning. You choose what speed you go on an ebike. The x24 will go around 32 mph max with heavy peddling . Average speed on pedal assist around 23 mph. They are almost invisible on the street today unless you get a nasty cop wanting to cause trouble
Thank you for this. I've been searching for a good pannier bag setup for my X26 which I bought a 2 months ago. I wasn't sure if I should buy the Engwe bag, but seeing how you mounted it, resolved my concern. I do have to state that you mentioned a lot that the X26 was badly designed, but I think it was probably an older model, because everything you showed in your video for this X24, my X26 also has. Also, can you post a link where you bought your mirror?
@@just_pbi Yes, the X24 was released alongside the "new" X26 where they fixed all the same issues. Bar end mirror should be linked in description of video.
Nice video, is it suitable for the height of 6"5?
Very good review. Thank you. Do you still recommend the x24?
@@DFD1 It's probably the bike I would recommend most of all the Engwe bikes. The suspension is a bit gimmicky, it's heavy, and it looks kind of like the bike version of a cybertruck BUT it's the one I find myself using the most and having the least problems with. It's very practical as a daily driver for me. I ride a lot of different bikes, so I spread my mileage across a lot of bikes, but I am currently at 1100 miles on the X24 and besides the optional mods, all I have really had to do was bleed the brakes once. The stock tires also wear pretty quick.
@@Pilotgeek Okay. That a valuable opinion. Thank a lot. I'm almost ready to pull the trigger now 😎
Saw you flying around town on it a few times lately!
Seems like engwe is actually listening to customer feedback a bit too.
Yep, I definitely did pass you on it the other week! While they aren't perfect, I do appreciate that Engwe seems to actually be interested in updating their designs from feedback and it's part of why I like to participate in their FB groups. I have also had to turn down a lot of other brand's products for trying to force a script, but Engwe always has given me basically 100% freedom in my reviews which I respect quite a lot.
Great review! I'm leaning toward the 24" bikes cause I'm old and shrinking. Lol
Thanks Man!
only problem is that there is no fenders to protect against dirt or if you are riding in the rain!
I'll be publishing a video soon where I add one.
Hey man where do you put Keys for unlock the bike?
Was a fantastic review. Thank you for taking the time to make this. I wonder what the throttle only range would be on this bike in average conditions with some hills and start stop.
Depends on what mode you ride. I bought the X26 - excellent bike, but riding it on throttle only for normal mode @ 5 speed, drains the battery quickly as it uses ±750w power...
Shame he never bought a helmet
7 months later... Did the x26 get the upgrades that the x24 has with the battery and things?
As far as I am aware, the X26 includes the exact same electronic upgrades as the X24.
@@Pilotgeek Cheers
No mud guard on the front wheel? Do you know if they offer one?
Not as far as I'm aware regarding official ones. I am actually today going to be adding an aftermarket one though, the same set I put on my Engwe C20. I'll likely post a followup of a few mods I'm doing.
Which one would you get m20 or a x24? Im 5”10-11 ish and its for work-home travel
The X24 is by far the more practical bike in my opinion. With the bag on the back, there's actual space to carry things whereas I pretty much have to use a backpack on the M20. If you want to ride it like a normal bike, the M20 is also a lot worse to pedal. That said, if you just want a little electric moped, the M20 is great in that regard. Another consideration is that the batteries are easier to remove on the M20, so I might use that in winter when commuting so I can bring the batteries inside.
Does it take Glock mags?
Does the battery still rattle?
No, not at all. I think currently 400 miles now without any rattles.
Nice video! Great walkthrough! Can you tell me how tall are you? Would this bike be a good fit for a 175cm / 5.8ft person??
I am 6' tall. It would be fine for you I think. My wife is 5'6" and didn't think she would be able to ride it, but it was just fine with the seat all the way down.
Do you know any really big ladies or gentlemen that can review this bike? Asking for a friend. 🤣
Or you could buy a used road bike for $30 and build up legs muscles. The only time anyone on ANY bike beats me is when its electric and they are breaking the law. Can't imagine the need to spend damn near 2K on a bike and I ride everyday.
Depends on wants and needs. I had around 6000 miles on my acoustic bike before getting an ebike, and the boost in range and convinience allowed me to fully replace my car with a bike. EBikes are really nice for work. I commute by bike now and its nice not getting sweaty.
why are you here.....go away @HoorayTV21
pretty sure you have options of pedaling yourself or using the electric part of it
The benefits are that speed with less effort is both fun and you stay cooler when hot. Also hills are the same effort as level ground. Also my fat tire bike will cross the beach and ride on the shore. Not many bikes riding the waters edge, I can tell you.
Don't forget fun is also a huge factor.
