    That is actually a 48v bike with an 18amp controller that peaks at 960 watts and is rated at 750 watts continuous. In the USA this bike is technically illegal as it goes over 20mph by throttle alone. How could it be otherwise, the thing goes 25mph and flys uphill. If I were in the UK, I’d buy one in a second!! I live in the US and bought the class 2 Wired freedom (60v 2000 watts, 40mph when it is unlocked). Nice to have the power and speed if you need it.

    I love a utiltarian e-bike especailly as things like aero and weight become less important. Assist speed of 15.5 is fine for me it's about 60% of my non assisted speed and I usually cruise about 16mph analgoue so for me it's about eliminating the hills and allowing me to not question adventures and taking stuff to work. 20mph just causes too much strain on my compenents and it stops becoming an assist and just becomes the primary power of motion which feels disengaged and defeates the point of being on the bike for me.

    Because Borris being a keen ebike user, knows cycling safely in the city 20 mph zones- its important to be able to keep up with traffic flow @ 20mph , rather than being cut up by buses trucks cars because the EU law is making cycling dangerous @ restricted 15 mph 😑

    Rear suspension is a must unless you like your spine to be the suspension. Also I just don't have confidence in these bikes from China. The quality issues will eventually show up with no way to get parts. Batteries on these bikes are usually low quality too. I'd get an Ariel Rider Grizzly if they were available in the UK.

I know I don't want either the 750w EP2 Pro or Engine Pro as I don't want it confiscated and to be fined etc. I'm 16 and a half stone, and need something that's going to get me and some cargo up the steep hills hereabouts. The Engine X is marked as having a 250W motor but it can be unlocked as can its throttle. I'd love to see you put it through your hill test.

      It's very hard to find the torque for the L20 which is most important for climbing hills. I suspect it is between 40 and 50 nm when a Cube bike with a Bosch motor has 70 to 80 nm. It is however more than twice the price. It's almost as if Engwe and Ado etc hide the torque figures.

    You keep saying this is legal. How is this legal as a bike in the UK if it assists over 25kph (16mph)? When you hack it ('unlock it') to de-restrict it you immediately make it an e-moped not a bike. So you can't legally use it in cycle lanes/cycle routes. And if the Rozzers catch you they can confiscate and crush it. Unless of course you insure it as a an e-moped and only drive it on roads. www.gov.uk/electric-bike-rules. I think these things should probably be allowed on roads but definitely not on cycle lanes,down canals tow-paths and in parks etc. They are too heavy and fast - overpowered for use in those areas. You clearly want an e-moped not a bike. So just accept that.

    This bike has a lot in common to the RadRunner plus. I got the lower model of RadRunner 2 and I love it. The hills in my area that used to give me issues basically have melted away with that ebike. It is properly set to Canada's class 2 specification with a 500w motor and 32kph/20mph limiter on it. Would be nice to have the US limit of 750w but I feel bad where you are you are limited to only 250w. That said with the speed you were getting you clearly were doing more than 250w and it shows. In your own test data it kept up with another 750w bike.
