I got one of these 2 weeks ago on Amazon with the 29 inch wheels , there was a 10% discount code so only paid £642 which is a remarkable deal. On the latest ones they have also upgraded the battery to 15.6 ah. Easy to build and is a really nice bike for the money, no regrets here.
@markpulling12 cheers really want this bike but very paranoid with buying online , also you know if the screen is waterproof I cycle in all weather conditions to work and back , thanks for getting back to me too👌
Hi Mark, I bought a uk built Volt e bike. I ride with my mates off road and trails on their £4-6k bikes. Sure my bike isn’t as good but I do everything they do. I have not had a breakdown and I don’t really care about how rough I am with it. Bought second hand with 200 miles on for £800. The others bikes have needed dealer fixes and some reconditioned motors. Mine is Bafang rear hub motor. Bafang have been making e bikes 40 yrs. very reliable despite being chinese.
Hi yes Ive got bafang motors on other bikes and like you say they are very reliable good motors ...these e bikes are certainly getting cheaper now ...but still half decent Best wishes mark
Looks similar to the self build kits that I use on my Ebikes. The hub motors are very reliable, also just bought some Zerofit clothing after watching your review Mark.
I've done so much research to see if the M2 battery would work on M1 and only thing i can't find is M2 battery dimensions, wondering if you could answer my question as eleglide support avoided answering me basically saying buy the m2 if you want better battery 😂 in your opinion do think the M2 battery would work on M1?
Hi Ian the charger is just a 2 A rate so quite low ...you could get a 4 A charger to half the time .... ideally don't leave battery unattended...but you don't have to watch them Cheers mark
Hi, I have a question. From what i've seen in your review and in other videos about this bike, there is a lot of "ghost pedaling" with this bike. I'm interested in buying it but the thing is, i want to exercise from time to time too, not just "pretend" like i'm pedaling, you know what i mean? So i want to ask, could I get a little bit of leg workout with this bike if i am to set the assist level to 1? And then play with the gears a little bit so that i can actually feel like i'm pedaling like on a non electric bike. Or is it simply not possible with this bike?
Hi there isn't really a best one so to speak for me as they are all good in there own ways....but triumph Street triple rs 765 and KTM 890 duke are very good as are the ducatis Best wishes mark
They are very firm as standard try pushing down as hard as you can...or the left knob preload ? May be too firm ....sorry that's alli can think of Best wishes mark
@@markpulling12 Hi, thankyou for ur reply, Iam In uk. I have already ordered on Amazon and its on its way. But in their website they are saying its max peak output is 570 W and Iam Confused now.Can I know.? Where did u purchase this from
@@ananthakriishnanilavannoor7361 yes as long as you keep the assistance level speed set at 15 mph in the menu on the display Most bosch Yamaha etc motors peak at well over 500 w and are UK legal ... So all good 😊

Solid review, thanks
Was looking at the M1 plus for commuting but might have to spend the extra and get this one this looks nicer aswell
Looks similar to the self build kits that I use on my Ebikes. The hub motors are very reliable, also just bought some Zerofit clothing after watching your review Mark.
Thanks Brad ...that zerofit gear is very good 😊
Any idea if controller is 48v compatible please as that motor normally take 48v really good I used like that in past

I like this, does what it needs to, does it come in other colours ? Great review Mark ❣️
Hi Martine ...no only available in black on this model ...but they have different models in other colours
Xx
10 hours is a long time to charge battery as you are supposed to watch it while charging, but great video Mark
Hi Ian the charger is just a 2 A rate so quite low ...you could get a 4 A charger to half the time .... ideally don't leave battery unattended...but you don't have to watch them
Cheers mark
Do you know any dealers that deliver to Northern Ireland?
Hi you'll have to Google that ...plus have a look at the eleglide website they may well deliver directly from the warehouse
Cheers mark
@@markpulling12 cheers will take a look now 👍

Hi yes you could definitely get a workout from this ...the gearing is good ... great bike for the price ..just keep it in the lowest power
Cheers mark

Hi yes all bafang compatible and easy access:)
@@markpulling12 that s gr8 thank s

Hi there isn't really a best one so to speak for me as they are all good in there own ways....but triumph Street triple rs 765 and KTM 890 duke are very good as are the ducatis
Best wishes mark
Cheers for the review! Any thoughts on the differences between the M2 and the M1 plus upgraded? Is the M2 worth the extra money? 🤔
Yes the M2 has a bigger battery and hydraulic brakes...id go for that one
Best wishes mark
@@markpulling12good to know, thanks for the info
Could you please clarify how far a single charge will take me? I am wondering about the practical mileage. Thank you!
Hi eco approximately 50 miles
Normal and sport about 30 miles
Cheers mark
Thats nowhere near the 77 miles (125km] what eliglide claim@markpulling12
My forks dont seem to unlock even when i move the lock...any ideas?
They are very firm as standard try pushing down as hard as you can...or the left knob preload ? May be too firm ....sorry that's alli can think of
Best wishes mark
thanks will try that@@markpulling12
A 5 star 🌟 bike
Many thanks Mathew 😄
❤❤❤helpful mate
Just needs an engine, decent suspension, quickshifter, and a good exhaust and I'll seriously consider one....
