Hi I feel the need to share my experience as people often search for videos about products they want to buy. After buying this bike brand new and using it 5 times to go from home to the tennis court 1km from my house, when I was ridding it back home, the welds on the steering column between it and the handle bar cracked open and the handle bar detached completely from the steering column. I had several traumas on legs hands, head and shoulder and an acromic clavicular dislocation level 5. Now Im gonna have to do a surgery to fix my shoulder and as I imported this shit from another country there is no company I can sue in my country. I recommend you all to keep an eye on this welding and replace it with something safe or you might not be as lucky as I was
This bike is available to buy everywhere,and apparently very popular worldwide.If you can't put together such a simple machine, maybe you should walk ...and don't forget to tie shoelaces otherwise you will accuse shoe marker to produce bad quality 👟. 😂😅😂
I bought a 1000 watt hub motor and 10 amp battery and put them on a Walmart bike. @20 miles cruising range without pedaling, top speed 52 mph (80 kph). Too fast. Total cost $900. But I added Bluetooth speakers, LED lights, folding baskets, etc.

Great review. Bought one from GearBest 10 days ago. Managed to find a code that cut £200 off the price that ships to the UK. Sold my M365 scooter to get this.
That's it. Under UK law, I can only ride the scooter on bicycle paths or private land/parks etc. I bought it originally to help me get to the local supermarket via cycling paths, but since moving home, there are none of these paths here and getting to work is not going to be possible, even if I decided to ride on the pavement as there are too many pedestrians walking. It was a choice solely based upon the legality of the scooter. I'm actually putting myself in danger by going to ride the cycle on the roads but I'm not one of these people who will ride a scooter/bicycle on the pavement as its not only illegal but also shows lack of respect towards pedestrians. The UK has excellent public transport links, but in terms of driving and cycling, it is well behind Germany and the Netherlands, despite the Mayor of London trying to make London more 'Greener'. If I lived in Germany, I would of kept it. Who wants to pedal on a cycle when you have a modern day vehicle that can go 16 mph non stop with just a simple push off from the ground.
interesting to hear your logic. This sounds like trolling but really isn't intended as such; why not use a good non electric bicycle? I'm really interested in the electric technology, but am not sure why healthy young people would us them as a good normal bicycle is already so efficient. I rode a scooter in London for a while and found cycling less stressful and better for my health.
Just bought this bike, seeing its been 2 years you prolly bought the bike or got something else but, this bike is amazing. Hills that made me sweat just by looking at them now feel like normal straight roads.
€499in France now.going to look at one tomorrow to replace my Fiido D2S mainly because of the 14.5kg weight. My Fiido is 19.5 kg but does have throttle
*_Hi Linus!_* *_I've been following you from a long time now and I have to say that I like your videos more than any youtuber on the planet. You have the best combination of quality and content. You deserve to have at least 1M subscribers bro. Have a great day!_*
Nice review! I regularly ride a road bike and this steering looks twitchy to me in your review. Do you ride bigger bikes and how twitchy/stable did you find cruising on this?
Nice video but : - Only city bike should be equipped with kickstand - Name the metal used, steel / aluminium ? - Forgot to mention the bike weight - Brakes looks awful, single pivot front brake, really ? - Bikes looks really small for long legged people (knee touching arms) - How many gear this bike have ? - Have I told you about that music at the beginning haha ? Looks like a great bike for $500 but not for much more tbh
Can you ride the bike without the battery in it? If I can, I might be able to take it on a plane as carry-on luggage ( weight limits). Await any answers.Thanks
Hi, do you mind confirming so we can understand how this would fit. What is horizontal length across (in cms) from seat post to handle bar post (where they join into horizontal frame)? Height of handlebar from ground? And as at 1min 59secs, the length across from handle bar post to seat post (if seatpost is same height as handlebar)? Thank you.
any tips for the magnet? i cannot roll my qicycle in fold because the magnet cannot hold the tire properly.. it always get loose whenever i try to push it
Hello, I'm confusing about the xiaomi QiCycle product, I've seen some products which have the "EF1" letters of this bike and others that don't. So I question, is there only one model about this bike Xiaomi QiCycle or is there an older or newer model of it? I know that Xiaomi has more bike models, but related to this one in this video, is there more than one model of the bike showing here? Thank you.
Stupid question : do the lights work if the battery is not switched on? I need a bicycle to help me with slopes but do not like speed in flat or slope downhill...
What are the type of series of this bike like may be you have the one suitable for woman @age of 40 and 50 above kind of this with three tyers or four tyers drivable with no fears or scary pedals balance wheel on the ground ??
The part that connects the main tube with the back end of the bike looks like it's the weakest link, yet the most important since it will likely be exposed to the highest forces. Scary.
I know almost all articles refers to the QiCycle as from Xiaomi, but this ebike is not made or sold by Xiaomi. Xiaomi even issued a press release disclaiming any association with QiCycle.
been looking at this on gearbest and it does look pretty good. i have a brompton folder and ive been looking at converting it to electric, it would be over £700 to convert it , i was thinking just buy this instead, has it been reliable?
@@waqasahmed939 do you think fiido is better? I really like fiido d2s but it's heavy and the battery is not removable! In my house we don't have a lift so I should carry it upstairs to the 3 floor...
Thanks! it's much better because you don't need to make much effort to keep the balance. Also, you can ride it in all sorts of terrains. That's why I got it!
Quantum Information it has electric power assistent only. But best one. By torque sensor. The more torque you apply to pedals, the more assistance you get!
I learn English to be "international". I do not see why non-Chinese cannot learn a bit of Chinese to be "international"? The good thing about the bike is you can carry a spare battery and it can give you over 80 km of work.
Well - as all people are build differently, the reall ? is not just how tall you are, but what is your inseam. Knowing that gives a guy an idea about the distance from seat to pedals will fit - and when subtracting inseam from height, it also gives a good idea wether seat to handlebar distance will suit you. In doubt about what I mean ? Ask Uncle Google about bicycle ergonomics - there is a little more to a bicycle's size than just your height ;o)
Konata Izumi at that speed in the majority of countries it would be classed as a moped or motor scooter which would require a driving licence, tax, insurance and a helmet.
c20 is made by HIMO. totally different bicycle maker but seems to me that qicycle is being phased out and is replaced by this new c20 better version at a slightly higher price.

Recommend 20 Amp lion battery. I bought 10 amp so 15 miles no pedal range. Peace
thank you Scott! You're very helpful. I found the product now. I'll consider your recommendation for the battery size. Cheers!
Nice always wanted to try that.
Great review. Bought one from GearBest 10 days ago. Managed to find a code that cut £200 off the price that ships to the UK. Sold my M365 scooter to get this.
Great deal! I'm sure you will love it.
Can you share more details on why you swap for that scooter? For me it’s mainly the legal things as I think Bike is more legal and UK
That's it. Under UK law, I can only ride the scooter on bicycle paths or private land/parks etc. I bought it originally to help me get to the local supermarket via cycling paths, but since moving home, there are none of these paths here and getting to work is not going to be possible, even if I decided to ride on the pavement as there are too many pedestrians walking.

Daniel Adderley unfortunately my health is bad due to a life long illness. Would love to do what others do but my body and some organs are bad
How comfortable is it considering the size and tiny wheels?
It's great, but you need to replace the seat to a more comfortable one.
So much work and effort you put into this review! You are the best reviewer, Linus. Everything is clear, precise and presented in your own unique way!
Thanks a lot Tony!
BEST REVIEW NO DRAW BACKS 😊
Great review, thanks. Just wondering, what happen if the battery dies? How heavy is pedaling the bike when there is no more juice in the battery?
Thanks! It's not hard to pedal without the battery. It's just like pedaling a normal bike
It’s very light for what it is so you won’t struggle to pedal along or anything
How's the uphill perfrormance? Would it be a good bike to ride in a hilly city?
Just bought this bike, seeing its been 2 years you prolly bought the bike or got something else but, this bike is amazing. Hills that made me sweat just by looking at them now feel like normal straight roads.

Can you drive the bike totally in electric motor, without pedalling at all?
just did this with a cable I ordered from this dude ua-cam.com/video/RUqSfbm6BbE/v-deo.html
it works pretty well.
is there a full electric mode or only pedal assist? thanks
Is the seat comfortable? It looks quite uncomfortable and hard to imagine to ride it for hours.
Damn now i want one. Great review Linus!
Thanks, Andrew! This is a fantastic little bike. Hopefully, the snow melts soon as I can continue using it lol

How do you replace differenct components such as wheel, lamp, battery, etc? Does Xiaomi sell them separately? Thanks for the review!
Yes, you can replace them. There are plenty of genuine Xioami parts available for sale! Check gearbest or AliExpress
What is the advantage of small wheel e-bike to great wheel bikes?
It does come with kickstand as standard now.
Nice review! I regularly ride a road bike and this steering looks twitchy to me in your review. Do you ride bigger bikes and how twitchy/stable did you find cruising on this?
I got to say I love my T18 Zi you ji wuang, but that is a sexy bike, although mine came with mud flaps and kick stand. And duel disc breaks for 329.00
Hi sir I'm from d phil's..r u still using d bike now?can u say that this bike is sturdy
Nice video but :
- Only city bike should be equipped with kickstand
- Name the metal used, steel / aluminium ?
- Forgot to mention the bike weight
- Brakes looks awful, single pivot front brake, really ?
- Bikes looks really small for long legged people (knee touching arms)
- How many gear this bike have ?
- Have I told you about that music at the beginning haha ?
Looks like a great bike for $500 but not for much more tbh
Can you ride it on rain and wash it as regular bike?
The 45 km range per charge is without pedalling or with pedalling?
Once you get the app installed you can eliminate the speed limit and reach even 40km/h.
what app? send me a link
Please can you tell about the app? Regards
Thank you for this video! Could you please specify the name of the bike app (for iphone)
Can the bike be pushed/dragged along in folded position? For example in the subway? I want to minimize the carrying to stairs only.
Does it fits in the backpack?
Can you ride the bike without the battery in it?
If I can, I might be able to take it on a plane as carry-on luggage ( weight limits).
Await any answers.Thanks
Yes, of course! You can use this as a regular bike!
They'll almost certainly reject it because of the size of the battery
How can you lock it safely?
What maximum weight for rider this bike, and Is this bike 16 inchi
Hi, do you mind confirming so we can understand how this would fit.
What is horizontal length across (in cms) from seat post to handle bar post (where they join into horizontal frame)?
Height of handlebar from ground?
And as at 1min 59secs, the length across from handle bar post to seat post (if seatpost is same height as handlebar)?
Thank you.
Great video! I am just wondering how tall you are? I am 190cm and think it would be a difficult fit.
Nice bike. Give it to me.
no one cares

This has a couple of great ideas and it seems made well. But It looks small. Also, I personally would not buy bicycle with smaller than 20 inch wheel.
I know almost all articles refers to the QiCycle as from Xiaomi, but this ebike is not made or sold by Xiaomi. Xiaomi even issued a press release disclaiming any association with QiCycle.
thats china for you
It is sold by Xiaomi. They even sell it in Xiaomi physical stores.
Link to that press release or youre lying. I just bought it from an official MiStore
may i know qicycle durability? how long the battery life? thanks
I got mine this week. Did exactly 45km with the first charge until 5% (all assistances stop at 5%)

Thanks! it's much better because you don't need to make much effort to keep the balance. Also, you can ride it in all sorts of terrains. That's why I got it!
So it’s not electric power?
Quantum Information it has electric power assistent only. But best one. By torque sensor. The more torque you apply to pedals, the more assistance you get!
Problem with these cute bikes is that they are often unsuitable for taller riders - what is the tallest rider that this can accommodate?

hola puedes decirme cual es la diferencia en la vercion internacional y la china ?

its not a derailleur, its a 3 speed internal gear hub. and it is heavy. :)
How about climbing a slightly hilly road? Is it possible?
also you can do a review of ONE MILE SCOOTER...i loved your video...very nicely produced

Thanks! That is not true. The max load is 100kg
Linus I’m 6.2in will I clear topedal
Is the pedals metal or plastic?
Plastic on Chinese version and metal on international version.
is it ul2272 certified?
Great review! Have you tested it on cold weather (for instance: last February when there was a cold wind from Siberia)?
how about when it rains?
Thanks for the review! Good as always. Tell me how tall are you? I'm afraid that the bime would be too small for a 188cm
Thanks, man! I'm just 170cm. The max. height is about 185cm, so you should be fine!
How close were your knees to the handle bar?
Well - as all people are build differently, the reall ? is not just how tall you are, but what is your inseam.
Knowing that gives a guy an idea about the distance from seat to pedals will fit - and when subtracting inseam from height, it also gives a good idea wether seat to handlebar distance will suit you.
In doubt about what I mean ? Ask Uncle Google about bicycle ergonomics - there is a little more to a bicycle's size than just your height ;o)
Great video!! Thanks for sharing
what is the maximum saddle height? (distance to bottom bracket)
I love is what I need thank you ❤
Does it have a suspension?
no

Great review, got to hand it to you this bike does it all even child mouth back light. 4:37
the version that i got ist catastrophic.
Hello !
What about electric scooters?
Could you review the M 365 Pro?
can i use it while raining?
Yes, of course
How much ??
I hope next one would be fully electric so you don’t paddle at all if you are lazy.
Increase the range and faster, 30 miles per hour would nice.
gotta keep it street legal a vehicle must have some protection because falling off of a 30 mile per hour would be a pain unless you are well padded
Konata Izumi at that speed in the majority of countries it would be classed as a moped or motor scooter which would require a driving licence, tax, insurance and a helmet.
I’d suggest you check out DYU brand of bikes .
Awesome review. It was just weird when you suddenly flipped the video.
Thank you! haha yeah it may look weird but I tried to use some different shots in this video
Have you tried the new c20 model?
c20 is made by HIMO. totally different bicycle maker but seems to me that qicycle is being phased out and is replaced by this new c20 better version at a slightly higher price.
