x26 sold out
Black is sold out not grey.
Thanks for the thorough review, and the discount! I may put that towards an additional charger...
This Proffessor is still taking me to School!!! Please consider doing more reviews of electric bikes as your take on them is both refreshing and Honest!!! Be well doctor and thanks again. :)
This is the best e-bike review I've seen!!!
Brilliant video Hobo, thank you
Professor,greetings from the UK.Your reviews are without doubt the most informative viewing for tech! I just wish you could cover some uk based tech like GivEnergy batteries etc.Keep up the fantastic work 👍
Love ya , great review like always and you are the best Mr. HOBO.
I just ordered an X24 today, Labor Day, $200 off from Engwe and your $150 off code. Out the door for $1549. WOW! Thanks Hobotech you're the best!
Very informative and entertaining both! Thanks for the review. I’ve struggled for awhile with WTH is the purpose of e-bikes, other than to be lazy, but I’ve come around to the “they really can be useful” camp lately. I especially see them being useful in an shtf situation in which fuel is not available and scavenging needs to be done. This seems like a great bike!
Number one reason I bought one, water is heavy. But after SHTF I want to be the war lord everyone wants to target. But more then anything, extends the distance of the fun.Maybe 50 years ago a pure peddle only bike. Not today.
Good job on the video.. Nice work!👍
Thanks for sharing!
I have to say, this one is too much bike for me. The most attractive feature, in my opinion, is that great suspension system. I wish there was a way to have awesome suspension on all the bikes on the market. But it's really nice to know that these exist. As always, excellent review! Love the deep detail you go into, and the hard work you put into setting up and conducting the tests. And of course the editing to explain it all. Thank you very much! Have a fun and safe holiday weekend. ODIN !!!! 🤗😻💖
Too much bike? What does that mean?
Finally electric bike that seems like I could fit on it I'm 6'7 I am a bit over the weight limit though
I'm 6'5" and about 340.... Everything always seems to have a 300 lbs capacity 😢
@@huf67 yeah it's kind of hard to find stuff I'm almost 400
They say 330lb capacity but if you fully inflate the tires you shouldn't break it at 350lb. This bike is BEEFY.
@@HOBOTECH ... Nice !! That means I can carry a 10lb cat with me then.
@@HOBOTECH yeah I'm sure there's some overhead it looks very stable
Great intro!
I am sorta looking for a rig but ... not ready yet ... but your review almost convinced me to do so now.. but I have quite an inventory of stuff now that I'll get to sooner or later... like having my own supply chain at home ... :-) I am thinking of a small trailer to tow and when I go camping maybe use one. People are telling me I am getting old and thus ... I am getting ready to get old some year or decade etc. .. Great review.. I even looked at their 20 and that looks good and substantial as well. thanks... customer service report might be nice too.. pat
Thank you!
Mr Hobo this is one of the best reviews I’ve watched. Great job. Nice e-bike love the suspension set up that’s a great sale point compared some of the others. What’s up with letric bike. They need to up their suspension . Few more dollars I guess. Drag race time with your timer set up. You might of started something here👀🤔
Cool Bike 👍
I've been meaning to research the best battery bike for me. Most don't fit....but this one might!!
I'm 6-5" and 335 lbs.
Depending on price....I might need to grab on of these.
Wonder if could charge these batteries via my PV panel system readily?
I'm 69 years old, so it's just a toodle around device.
Great video, Doc H.
Nice neighborhood dude!
Your the only review that clarified the difference in x20,x24,x26 was the wheel sizes! I had no idea, thanks I hope I’m not too small for my x26 that will arrive in 2 days… 😅 may have to swap for the x20 if I can’t handle it. But we’ll see.
I thought the x26 was just an upgraded x24, and the x20 was a scooter version
Nice! Thanks professor!!
Haha! Even though I have watched it before, it's still awesome
Side question: I’m seeing US manufacturers building solar panels are you able to check them out? Thumbs up 👍
Some kind of test to measure hill climbing ability would be a great addition. Great review!
Yes! Good point!
Love the hack lol!
Missed opportunity for the "Maximum Overdrive" meme 😂
As usual with your complete review of products, I want one lol. I have been going back and forth on mid mounted motor vs rear motor as you can use the gearing to your advantage. Any thoughts on this? What is a newton meter? I am old school American (76 going on 45) I want American not crazy European measurements LMAO. Have a super blessed weekend.
Its equal to 52 foot pounds. I prefer mid drive bikes but very few brands make them so I built my own.
@@HOBOTECH Thank you for the conversion lol. Have a super blessed weekend now to watch the new video you have just put out.
Depends on what they set the % of battery or voltage that will be left at shut down for range. How far down will voltage be when it stops giving output ?
bro, get a friend to dress all slovenly and roll around in the dirt, mess up his hair and put on a security guard uniform, and thus HOBOCOP was born
That bike is going to blow up on you.
I bought an e-bike 3 weeks ago
Unfortunately the fancier the thing is, the most costly in two ways ... it begins to take on the "STEAL ME NOW" vibe.
@Hobotech do you know how many times these batteries can be recharged?
Will the X26 fit on a standard car bike rack? It seems heavy and odd-shaped for putting on normal rack to transport it around.
Nice bike, great price .....
Battery range can not be calculated by riding one third and multiply by three. The more a battery is depleted, the less range is left, the quicker the discha rge. If you get 20 miles in one third you won't get 60 miles of distance., more likely 45-50 miles if fortunate. Look on the bright side, pedaling home is still an option. Cheers.......RF
We recently purchased an X24 after watching your video. Did you happen to notice if the thumb throttle actually varies the power? The thumb throttle itself seems and acts like it should be variable but behaves like a switch either turning the motor on or off. No power variability.
Pollo Kentucky 😊
Dr Hobo - I can’t find a good place to ask a question, so I’m asking it here. I am a single senior, living in a small sticks and bricks home, in a U.S. South location that is increasingly having several days long power outages in Both winter and summer. I want to set up an inexpensive backup power bank system that could recharge led lights, phone, tablet, and run either a box fan (summer) or small electric blanket (winter). I’d like to use both a solar panel and a small wind turbine to charge the power bank. Could you do a video where you design an inexpensive way to do this? Thanks!
i’ve got a simple system that does that. in fact i’m off grid most of the time. i use the inergy flex batteries, 4 batteries and the top section connected. outside i put 8 100 watt solar panels on my jacuzzi lid that feed electricity to my battery system. from the battery i have an adapter that has 2 110 plugs that merge to a 50 amp outlet. i plugged a 10 foot 50 amp cable to that adapter. that feeds through a 50 amp rv hatch to the outside transfer switch that has 10 switches. (reliance controls brand). When I flip all the breaker switches up on the transfer switch panel i’m running my house off grid. It’s not enough to run the central ac but will run one or 2 windows acs. Also, since there are 2 110 plugs going to the transfer switch you could have 2 battery stacks, one plug to each. That would give you 2 inverters. Thus you could run 2 high -watt appliances as long as they are on alternate lines. I’m waiting for the super charger to get back in stock so I can bring in more solar. For now i’m doing a work around with other batteries to get more electricity in.
Wait a minute! WAIT A MINUTE! Those looks like the T-1000 hydrogen power cells
We need stunt test! Something like 360 degree flip or similar! Braking is not enough!
Tom...excuse me ...Professor Hobo, how do you like it compared to your converted electric mt. bike that you built years ago?
sooooo agen I am in the market for an e-bike and am wondering if you have to use an app or WiFi for this bike
I am wanting an e-bike with no apps or WiFi maybe im way off here please do you have any suggestions
Hey did you have any problems witht the seatpost dropping while riding like other youtubers with this bike
Nope. This is v2 of the bike tho.
When testing the batteries I'd wish you would drain them completely and recharge them to give a better picture of whether or not the specifications live up to the watthour on the label.
some other page did a review off the x26 dual battery and he got 120km out off it pedaling a small bit
How far will it tow my refrigerator?
I wish i had come here before ordering although those codes are probably useless now. Amazon says 100 miles on electric and 150 assist. This is the first i heard fat wheels are wobbly. I thought the whole point of them was able to ride everywhere including snow/gravel/dirt/mountains/shitty roads no one ever bothers to fix.
👍👍👍
Great review just as I am considering buying the x series here in uk. They have a discount window of 1599 pounds for the x24/x26 . Thats 500 pounds off normal price . But can't decide whether to buy the x 24 or x26? I am 5-9 tall
X24
Sadly I don't like the spoked wheels 🤔 would you confirm you think the x26 would be too tall/big for my height? It states on Engwe ok for riders from 5-8 tall upwards
@@voicevoice2053 Yes you can get the x26 just be aware it's 2" taller and harder to mount.
I ended up buying the X24. It's still a large bike. I couldn't get the color I wanted ie grey. But got the black one at the discount price..going to another retailer to get the color I wanted would have cost me an extra $350 . It's a mighty very capable bike@@HOBOTECH
What will handle my weight 370LBS?
😎👍
Who makes the batteries and motor?
China
So, do you have to charge two batteries separately? Do they work together when you ride or do you unplug from one battery and then into another? On the X26, are the front shocks adjustable? Does the battery rattle like earlier models? Can I use peddle assist and throttle at the same time? Shouldn't these be deal breakers for anyone looking to buy this bike? So many question!
No,yes,yes,no,yes,no.
@@HOBOTECH Sorry, those questions were annoying of me, but I had to ask since Engwe is on a Chinese National Day holiday for a week from Sept 29th to Oct 7th. Hopefully it helps other people of your channel. So, this is what I understand from your answers: So, do you have to charge two batteries separately? NO. Do they work together when you ride or do you unplug from one battery and then into another? Yes (the two-parter question). On the X26, are the front shocks adjustable? YES. Does the battery rattle like earlier models? NO. Can I use peddle assist and throttle at the same time? YES. Shouldn't these be deal breakers for anyone looking to buy this bike? NO (one of the questions had a two-parter, so just double checking) Your video was very entertaining and informative. I thank you immensely for doing it. It actually made me sleep better knowing I made the right decision to buy this bike a few days ago because of you. Cant wait to see more!
IS THIS A CADENCE SENSOR OR TORQUE SENSOR
All you have to do to make it go 31 miles an hour all the time is change it in the advanced settings
Yeh? That simple?
Once ebike makers offer lithium iron phosphate (LifePO) batteries instead of just lithium ion (Li-ion) it will make ebikes safe enough to put in your garage.
once ebike makers offer LiFePO batteries instead of just Li-ion it will make ebikes weigh 200 pounds
Ebike makers shouldn't and probably won't offer LFP. You lose 30% range right off the bat. The first question everyone asks is how far will it go. If your bike does 30% less they buy the competition.
Strange how my bike or Ariel Rider bikes have 1,000 watt motors that produce over 100Nm of torque and another 600 watts of peak power.
Geared hub...
I'm working with 200 miles a charge at 40mph- any questions?
yes
Imagine running out of battery and it's all uphill to get back home, I'm sure pedaling a 90 pound bicycle is what everyone wants to do 😂😂😂 it came from Chyna
Does this bike need plates
Plates for bicycle? Not in the USA that I'm aware of.
If it doesn't have Ludicrous mode it's not worth my time ... 🌪️🏎️
Hee hee! Good one!
Outside of the USA and bits of China, these things are restricted like crazy. If you want a fast one you need number plates, a horn, mirrors, big clear turn signals etc... yet manufacturers consistently fail to fit them (or else only sell "legalised", read "slow", versions). I'd love to flit across Osaka on a range-anxiety-free "EV" and charge it from the Bluetti at night, but finding an "electric motorcycle" that isn't, well, an electric motorcycle (ie has no pedals) is a challenge.
Looks nice. In my rampant crime city these are stolen if you leave them anywhere in public.
Time to move...
@@HOBOTECH He has a valid point and security is a problem everywhere no matter what kind of bike you ride. If you take your bike out anywhere here in Wisconsin and let it sit outside of a shop or restaurant there's a good chance it isn't going to be there when you come back out whether it's locked or not. Especially if it's an e-bike.
There's a reason chains and locks exist. Where I live in rural America it's less of an issue but I'd still lock the bike out of common sense. If you live in a place where thieves run around with power tools to steal bikes then it's not a safe place to retire or raise a family. Hence I left the city.
Good point and I do plan to move as soon as I can. cheers @@HOBOTECH
@@HOBOTECH Biggest problem we have around here is there's nothing to chain them to. No bike racks, no posts. We just don't have the infrastructure to properly secure them.
Great review, by the way! I wish this bike had hit the market a year or so ago before I bought my Vado.
I like spoke wheels better
70 Newton meters of torque? What does gravity have to do with it? besides there's no such thing as gravity it's all electro magnetic.
It's powered by the Flat Earth...
@@HOBOTECH 😂🌎🧇
Go ahead,, charge that sucker up in your garage,, i dare ya......
Looks like something out of star citizen and not in a good way.
Wired Freedom is faster, lighter, and has better range
