This looks like an absolute blast. Definitely going to pick one up. I’m already deep into Ego’s ecosystem and have had them honor a warranty replacement on a blower and a weed eater one of which was almost 5 years old with zero headache. It should be mentioned that I live on a mountain on a large piece of property and I’m really rough on landscape equipment, so it’s probably my fault. They’ve proven to have great customer service though and I’d have no problem dropping the money on a toy like this if it carries the same great warranty as the rest of their products.
Saw one of these pop up on Reddit a couple of weeks ago, and immediately sent it to a former co-worker, who is a lifetime rider, and has recently invested in an array of ego equipment. Neither of us knew it existed. Pretty sure he's going to add one to his collection. I inherited a house in the woods, and a low-powered sweeper wouldn't cut the mustard. I got their blower, and I'm absolutely tickled with it. Until you drop one of those batteries on your foot. By far the heaviest modular battery pack I've ever owned. Putting three of those on that bike, has got to add like 80 lb LOL
OUCH!! Yes, they are definitely heavy. EGO does a great job with their lawn and landscape tools. In fact, they're probably the reason that battery power is an option in OPE now. Their blowers, string trimmers, and mowers paved the way for the rest of the industry. This minibike is a great little ride and it's so quiet. Thanks for watching.
This is why things like the Tesla Semi and the Roadster are complete failures. The size of the batteries needed to do what they're claiming weigh more than the vehicles they're put in. This seems like a decent tradeoff, you get 20 miles on two batteries with a third battery "just in case".
if its got decent range in eco mode that would make for a nice hunting/scouting bike being so quiet. I could see myself getting out to the duck pond or the food plot really nicely.
With your rifle and gear how much does weight affect the range? How about water is it water proof? How much does driving through mud drain the battery over a normal dirt path? To meany questions would love to see it put to the test
Here for an update. Just put 700 miles on mine and it's running like a champ. Not an exaggeration when I say I get a compliment every time I ride it. One thing I'd like in the future is a power inverter where the spare battery compartment is and a 3 battery buying option. I picked up the 400w inverter and found a 10ah battery at Goodwill for $40😀. I use it to power my heated blanket while camping and love it. Last thing I'd like to see is a street legal one. My city is cool with me riding it on the streets but it'd be nice to take it to the beach, 400 miles from home.
I have an ego lawnmower 6 years old and same battery still going strong I convert my 24 V scooter with the seat and put the ego battery on it gets 18 miles on 1 battery charge. I did put a step down converter in it.and I can carry 3 batteries with me
Wow, the Chevette I was embarrassed to drive in high school only had 13" rims. Also this thing looks very cool - but please, Ego, give me a golf chart. I love the idea of cruising around my gated community using the battery from my leaf blower.
I have 9 of their batteries and weigh 165 lbs. The bike was made for me! That said, the $2K price with the 2 7.5 Amp batteries and the dual charger is the better deal than the $1,300 bare bike. This came just in time to blow a chunk of my tax return.
I work at race track festivals getting spectators out of the way of paddock traffic. I've been doing it with an electric longboard and rode my BMX during it's 4 hour charge, but now with 11 batteries, I can escort those race cars, tweeting a whistle for the entire time the track is hot. And if you haven't caught the genius of this on your own, the way I'm doing it is a sound financial decision. Spending $2K of tax return on a $2K tax write off.
Great review. I would have liked to hear what the bike sounded like from the camera position as you were driving around, what was the rattle? Also, some more driving tests, maybe up an incline, a braking test, wide shots of the bike driving and maneuvering. I wish the bike was a bit taller. I am tempted but a bike with a $900 gas tank is hard to swallow when it will probably only last 2-5 years.
For such a high quality looking piece of equipment, I really was expecting for it to be more money. I have a 750W ebike that costs as much as this does without its batteries, but it isn't nearly as well engineered as this Ego mini bike seems to be. I'd have so much fun with this thing.

We had a 2005 Honda crf 50f 50cc dirt bike. It was awesome. But I’ve never seen a mini bike from ego. Awesome. I do have 2 of their tools and love them.
I have the two stage snowblower and the big leaf blower. If I run out of power in the snowblower, the single small leaf blower battery will handle some snow so I’d think it could run the bike for a ways in eco mode. I think it’s 5Ah versus the two 7.5Ah.

This is the first toy electric bike I've actually thought would be hilarious to drive around the neighborhood. I absolutely know my neighbors would give me hell for it, but what are they going to say don't have fun with your string trimmer batteries.
Saw one at the local ACE hardware, pretty impressive. I do wish the range was closer to 35 miles or so. Should be a good commuter, good base for accessories such as bags, windshield or luggage rack.
Considering the price of regular e bikes $2k really isn’t that bad, now I wonder if you use two stronger batteries and add another wheel motor to the front how fast it would go
This is innovative and ergonomic It just makes sense and works great Happy to see a company that’s pushing boundaries and kicking ass at the same time in this shit economy!
0:20 Funny laugh. There's a storage compartment for a 3rd battery. Seems to me like for a few dollars they could have put wires and a connector there, so you'd run 3 batteries in parallel. Very cute bike!
It's actually a good idea to leave it that way. Your kid goes out on it kills the batteries then sticks in the 3rd and has to ride it back. all 3 hooked up you'd just run it out and be stuck. My dirt bikes as a kid I've run them out loads would flick the reserve on and go home to fill up.
Mid-Augusr price 2024, $1299 at Lowes no batteries included. I thought they were $2000 + tax, plus shipping, maybe. Maybe in a few years, im pedaling my electric bike for now.
The price isn't horrible, but seems a little silly when you consider I can get one of their own riding lawnmowers that actually performs a job for pretty much the same price. But if you're in the EGO environment and already have all their useful tools that you need... this probably is a fun little toy.
I do landscaping on a large property. This would be so perfect for what I do. Plus the property is hilly, so this mini bike would be perfect. I actually think I'm gonna buy one, use it strictly for work. 🎉😊. I think it would be a perfect fit❕
Things that you missed is I don't think you told us how many watts the motor is and you also did not tell us if it can take the 10 amp hour batteries or if it is limited to only being able to have the biggest battery of 7 and 1/2 amp hours.
It only uses the a single battery. The batteries are in parallel. Voltage does not change when more batteries are added but amperage raises. Hence needing batteries that add up to 10 AH for sport mode.
It runs on one battery but can run on two with the 2nd battery the 3rd battery is use a spare battery in case your battery starts to run low so you don't get stranded 🔋👍
Damn man!! i want to get on this electric bike trend really bad for the torque, but price is to much and power is never enough. like my 6.5 hp engine pulls 47mph on my mini bike and even 41 mph on a go kart. as soon as they are even ill switch haha
@@Shoptoolreviews, so it will run in sports mode with only 1x 10ah or 12ah battery? Its a little ambiguous if it needs 10ah or more of battery SIZE, or 10ah or more of REMAINING CHARGE. If your theory is correct that it runs on 2x batteries in parallel when in sports mode, it means it’s rather sophisticated or else will give you a notification that your two packs are not equalized and cant be placed in parallel. That 3rd battery slot, basically your reserve tank, is strange because if you drained 2x 7.5ah packs in sports mode and then replaced one dead pack with the fresh reserve pack, obviously the circuit won’t allow them to go into parallel right away. So does this situation disable sports mode or does the ebike start to slowly transfer energy from the fully charged pack into the dead pack so that it can eventually connect them in parallel? Seems like this bike with 3x 12ah packs would be great.
That’s a lot of things for a bike that only goes 30MPH. Looks great for a first bike for practice. Wish I’d used something like this before I road 125cc and electric 7K watt bikes
Do you think it could push a small car 20 feet at a time for 200 feet? Random question I know! We drag race and use a old golf cart in the staging lanes. We use an aluminum pole as a push rod.
Tell ego we need a utility cart with a solid sized truck bed for around the ol homestead. Woupd also be nice if said cart would have some nice clips or addons to attatch our other ego products like leaf blower and trimmer to tag along with us!!!!
Ego customer support stinks. The CSRs are very nice, but they have no power to make anything happen. I've been waiting 4 weeks for a 7.5Ah battery for my mower, an approved warranty replacement, but they haven't shipped it an CSRs have no idea why the warehouse hasn't shipped it. Bought a generic battery.
For 1299 if you have batteries already this is a steal. You can currently get a mower with a 7.5ah and 5ah battery for 599. So for the price difference you can lose 2.5ah and get a 21 inch self propelled lawnmower.
Not a bad idea to jump into the platform, but I can't imagine people starting with the bike alone. In the flooded E-Bike market, most people don't recognize the EGO name.
dont be its trash... my company bought their stuff to use for our daily maintenance work to cut down on gas cost here and there, as well as every other brand... Milwaukee has been the best thing going
$2000 with batteries? That's honestly not bad. Sure, you could get a gas bike from your neighbor for $150, but I was expecting upwards of 4-5k just because it's EGO. For another $500, maybe they could make it a bit bigger and use three batteries. I do wonder, however, can you charge the batteries on the bike or do you have to take them out every time?
If you add a budget Amazon license plate bracket that comes off the rear axle then you can probably get it registered as a moped in most states. That sport mode hits the moped requirements of not exceeding 30mph and having a 20 mile range really ain't bad saying as a Honda Navi doubles in price after dealership fees. I'd definitely add road tires for that though
So it goes 28 mph...with a 20 mile range, so you can ride it for approx 45 minutes with a full charge, based on the weight and conditions, sorry, you're twice the weight, so knock it down to 22.5 minutes, also you're riding off road (not on the perfectly flat floor of the room we tested it in), so knock it down to 15 minutes riding time, and we exaggerated the riding time from the start so I'm guessing about 10 minutes riding before it starts running out of power...but it looks cool.
@TheDwightMamba huh? The extra battery was a comment, not a question. I watched the video I know it won't run on sport. The comment was "the reason they allow for that 3rd battery is because when the other 2 die you still need to get back home". No one's going to lug around the massive charger ego gives you. ( I own the mower) Other electric bikes chargers are not massive
I'm getting at least 50 miles out of a 36 volt AH battery on my fat tire folder. Wind and a person's weight greatly affect battery life. I only weigh 150#, but I carry 30 pounds in my saddle bags, when shopping. And I pedal a lot in PAS 2. 😃
This sounded good right up until you stated hub drive motor. Those aren’t good durable options and are honestly the cheapest electric drive solution. For 2K this absolutely should have a dedicated drive system.
Solid wheels or pneumatic tires? What's the top speeds in the normal and eco modes? Will it still do 28 mph after the total available amp hour drops below 10?
They have pneumatic knobby tires that are great for off road riding, but make a slight humming noise on paved roads. It goes 15mph in eco-mode, 20mph in normal mode and 25 to 30mph in sport mode, depending on how much you weigh. With two 7.5 amp hour batteries, it will remain in sport mode until they're both completely drained. With one 7.5 amp hour battery, it will only go 15mph and sport mode can't be activated. The range is around 20 miles. I ordered two 12 amp hour batteries for it, so those figures could all change. The figures l listed apply when using the two 7.5 amp hour batteries provided with the bike. If you have other EGO tools and a charger, it's actually a better idea to buy the bike bare tool and buy two 12 amp hour batteries separately. Hope this helps
I really like the Ego products. Really looks awesome but I do not like the power cable to the hub motor being run so close to the tire. Kind of a what the heck were you thinking situation there. Rocks, sticks, tire damage and more pose a real threat to the cable.
do you think the ego mini would pull a light weight trailer and a quartered out deer maybe 110 # 's total . The trailer would be like the ones they sell for the hunting e bikes that cost 4 to 6 grand, just a thought. i would be using 10 or 12amp batteries. I am a ego user . it would be used on ohio farm land fairly level . thanks for any relies , my 185#
That’s a good question, assuming it can do regen braking you will probably loose brake pressure but the electric motor may help to stop, someone has to have an answer to this question
Interesting, but I would really be concerned about how exposed that orange power line is. Even on gravel roads, rocks are going to be flying up chipping away, not to mention actual dirt. How does it handle water, mud, snow and the moisture?
@@paulkersey6283 Usually those are no name brand bikes with a no name hard tail frame, running a no name motor, with mechanical disk brakes, no lights, a basic LCD display and so on. Yes I know you can find really cheap bikes, but a well equipped middle of the road brand name bike with this kinda power, equivalent batteries, and lights is easily double that price if not more. In fact the only bikes that might come kinda close in terms of battery is probably one of the Riese Müller super bikes.
I have a few ego products love it, but this bike is high at $1300. I like how batteries are interchangeable on all ego. I dont like hoe sports mode require 2 batteries.... Ill stick to my Gen1 lectric XP bike at $800 with charger and battery and goes about the same 28mph 20miles range.. thanks for thr review.
I find it amazing the bike is smart enough to know it can’t deliver peak amps with less that a 10ah battery or combined capacity if the packs can. E connected in parallel. Every lithium ion pack sold has a BMS, and if it’s a good BMS it will not allow the battery peak discharge to exceed rated value. Imagine if it allowed you to put 1x 2.5ah pack in and discharge at 40a (20c), that pack would either shut down in 3 seconds or suffer damage. So by saying (10ah combined capacity), to give the same peak 40a its only 4c, well within any decent li-ion pack. $1300 is a little pricy for a ebike without battery and then another $1600 for 3x 12ah batteries, $3900 for a 56v24ah+12ah ebike. Its only practical if you already in the EGO ecosystem and have lots of their batteries.
@@EJ-74 , yes, $2000 with 2x 7.5ah batteries or $1300 ala cart if you have compatible batteries. If somehow you found a bunch of batteries at a garage sale for $20 each then its worth $1300 to buy this thing if you have a place to ride it.
so 56V x3 so 168V am i to believe at 7.5amp hrs? for that 200mph or better top speed? nah? 😢 well i know 72V can hit 60mph center drive hear ratio swapped but gotta have bigger sprocket for high speed low torque lil sprocket high torque/limited speed such as this... it's not a bad rig just needs some friendly upgrades to be Americanized ya know something ya can enjoy enough to commute on i do like that it's not a separate set of batteries it's what ya already have if you bought toolkits or possibly knock off diy battery kits but battery size limits/storage capacity matters i think i was hearing quotes of other assisted bycyles running 20 amp hr at 12 36 48 72V depending on what ya buy more volts higher speed more amps more hill climb abilities without the nasty overheating or fear of lithium fires 🔥 best part is ya can easily pop these batteries out without the key incase of overheating and save the bike from burning just buy a new' "fuel tank" ⛽ I'd say it sure beats 36V version of childs minibike because it's probably slightly more rugged to take a beating and keep working 💪🏼 i myself went for 21 speed large tire 🛞 for efficiency that's running 2 1000W or hopefully cappable of more like 10k W but upgrading the thin wires to jumper cables for saftey of lack of resistance heating to push all the amps when needing to tow without melting wish mine took advantage of full wheel size for leverage and torque but also top speed I'm definitely looking to try 72V on the 48V systems hoping i don't but out the electronics rather it be 108V with the thicker 2gauge wiring to handle the amps the smaller fuse being after battery before "jumper cables" and I'm looking at way better than 25mile at full power speeds need at least to hold 80mph for 100 miles that'd get you 50 there and back round trip with a bit to spare for the battery degradation and fast charging stage 5 even though they only have stage3 as new now and charging while being used abilities say a solar panel or windmill for that extended or infinite with sun range though limited in speed by power input and batteries charge strength or depletion limit i don't have a suron but if you search the step above suron your in a good ballpark but i started with the downgrade from suron because actually a pedal powered bicycle 🚲 for when you are forced to be unlazy to get it to a charge port
I've got the batteries but I think I'll stick with my gas mini bikes. Would be cool to take out of the truck anywhere and go for a quick stealthy ride though. Hmmm... Thanks for info.

Tax credit? And sure; you're only going to use it for work - - - - The first two days.
Golf cart works better . Has a bed to carry tools , Herbicide, tow a trailer. I also do commercial landscape maintenance.
Hmmmmm. I'm not sure you're getting the message. It's a toy that can be used for work. And written off. @@Clifford-jv7hk
@@Clifford-jv7hk i as well. i cant imagine any use for a minibike in landscaping
I like it. Already have 3 batteries from lawn mower and snow thrower.
Then you're all set. It's such a cool ride. Thanks for watching.
Things that you missed is I don't think you told us how many watts the motor is and you also did not tell us if it can take the 10 amp hour batteries or if it is limited to only being able to have the biggest battery of 7 and 1/2 amp hours.
It only uses the a single battery. The batteries are in parallel. Voltage does not change when more batteries are added but amperage raises. Hence needing batteries that add up to 10 AH for sport mode.
I would like to see some of the other battery platforms come out with something like this...
But make it street legal as well.
It runs on one battery but can run on two with the 2nd battery the 3rd battery is use a spare battery in case your battery starts to run low so you don't get stranded 🔋👍
Damn man!! i want to get on this electric bike trend really bad for the torque, but price is to much and power is never enough. like my 6.5 hp engine pulls 47mph on my mini bike and even 41 mph on a go kart. as soon as they are even ill switch haha
I hate to admit it but this is the coolest thing a power tool company has done.
If it hasn't been mentioned yet, to get to sport mode, you have to take off the seat and flip the switch on in the rear area.
You may have mentioned this, I kinda fast forwarded a few times, but batteries also come in 7, 10, and 12amp
Full size in the future?
Love how their products look so advanced And futuristic
They do like very fit and finished. Thanks for watching.
TIM IF YOU CAN SEE IF THE 10 or 12 AMP Battery CAN FIT
Yes, we put both the 10Ah and 12Ah batteries in with no problem.
@@Shoptoolreviews now I can Buy it Bare tool because I have a 10 and 12 amp batteries thanks TIM
@@Shoptoolreviews, so it will run in sports mode with only 1x 10ah or 12ah battery? Its a little ambiguous if it needs 10ah or more of battery SIZE, or 10ah or more of REMAINING CHARGE.
If your theory is correct that it runs on 2x batteries in parallel when in sports mode, it means it’s rather sophisticated or else will give you a notification that your two packs are not equalized and cant be placed in parallel.
That 3rd battery slot, basically your reserve tank, is strange because if you drained 2x 7.5ah packs in sports mode and then replaced one dead pack with the fresh reserve pack, obviously the circuit won’t allow them to go into parallel right away. So does this situation disable sports mode or does the ebike start to slowly transfer energy from the fully charged pack into the dead pack so that it can eventually connect them in parallel?
Seems like this bike with 3x 12ah packs would be great.
Love the reverse mode - just like my Honda Goldwing.
You need it on that behemoth. TBH I wish I had it on my bike. 😋
That’s a lot of things for a bike that only goes 30MPH. Looks great for a first bike for practice. Wish I’d used something like this before I road 125cc and electric 7K watt bikes
Great option for a pit bike at the track.. or a shop (big shop) transport from building to building..good times for kids..
Awesome concept from EGO..👍
Yes, great idea for a pit bike.
Do you think it could push a small car 20 feet at a time for 200 feet? Random question I know! We drag race and use a old golf cart in the staging lanes. We use an aluminum pole as a push rod.
Tell ego we need a utility cart with a solid sized truck bed for around the ol homestead. Woupd also be nice if said cart would have some nice clips or addons to attatch our other ego products like leaf blower and trimmer to tag along with us!!!!
Where are dirección lights?
Ego customer support stinks. The CSRs are very nice, but they have no power to make anything happen. I've been waiting 4 weeks for a 7.5Ah battery for my mower, an approved warranty replacement, but they haven't shipped it an CSRs have no idea why the warehouse hasn't shipped it.
Bought a generic battery.
Do you know if this mini bike will accommodate Ego’s larger batteries? I know they have them up to 12 amp hours.
Yes it will take all Ego batteries.
The design of that looks good. Solid build
There are plenty of applications for this that people would enjoy. Pretty slick!
We agree and it's totally fun!. Thanks for watching.
I would be curious to see if it can pull you up a steep hill
For 1299 if you have batteries already this is a steal. You can currently get a mower with a 7.5ah and 5ah battery for 599. So for the price difference you can lose 2.5ah and get a 21 inch self propelled lawnmower.
Not a bad idea to jump into the platform, but I can't imagine people starting with the bike alone. In the flooded E-Bike market, most people don't recognize the EGO name.
I hate Ego!!!!! Because I don’t have any of their equipment!!!
Lol
Have About $5000 worth of the 56 VOLT OPE
I just went on that platform 😂😂
Exactly……should have bought their leaf blower and chainsaw
dont be its trash... my company bought their stuff to use for our daily maintenance work to cut down on gas cost here and there, as well as every other brand... Milwaukee has been the best thing going
What about blankets?
$2000 with batteries? That's honestly not bad. Sure, you could get a gas bike from your neighbor for $150, but I was expecting upwards of 4-5k just because it's EGO. For another $500, maybe they could make it a bit bigger and use three batteries.
I do wonder, however, can you charge the batteries on the bike or do you have to take them out every time?
If you add a budget Amazon license plate bracket that comes off the rear axle then you can probably get it registered as a moped in most states. That sport mode hits the moped requirements of not exceeding 30mph and having a 20 mile range really ain't bad saying as a Honda Navi doubles in price after dealership fees. I'd definitely add road tires for that though
2k is crazy. it doesn’t even come close to that price if your made your own bike.
Battery cable looks really close to the rear tire tread
1300 not bad at all considering I paid 850 for the mower that puts me to work... I'm going to buy one to cool off after mowing
Love that idea lol joy ride after completing a job
great channel and product review. the honda from is approximately $4,000.00
So it goes 28 mph...with a 20 mile range, so you can ride it for approx 45 minutes with a full charge, based on the weight and conditions, sorry, you're twice the weight, so knock it down to 22.5 minutes, also you're riding off road (not on the perfectly flat floor of the room we tested it in), so knock it down to 15 minutes riding time, and we exaggerated the riding time from the start so I'm guessing about 10 minutes riding before it starts running out of power...but it looks cool.
It said 20 miles range per one bar
i guess it allows for 1 battery because of the 3rd stored one emergency to get back home also whats the speed in eco and normal mode
It does, but won't run on Sport.
@TheDwightMamba huh? The extra battery was a comment, not a question. I watched the video I know it won't run on sport. The comment was "the reason they allow for that 3rd battery is because when the other 2 die you still need to get back home". No one's going to lug around the massive charger ego gives you. ( I own the mower)
Other electric bikes chargers are not massive
You started with I guess.
The batts run in parallel to provide the amps needed without over amping a single battery, which will ruin the battery.
Pretty cool. Kinda odd that the 3rd battery storage place wasnt used as an active port though.
so are the two batteries together parallel or series?
Parallel. The bike will run on 1 battery, so that tells us that it's running on just 56V, not 112/120.
For how much it costs I’d want more range
I'm getting at least 50 miles out of a 36 volt AH battery on my fat tire folder. Wind and a person's weight greatly affect battery life. I only weigh 150#, but I carry 30 pounds in my saddle bags, when shopping. And I pedal a lot in PAS 2. 😃
I wonder if one could mod the storage port into an active one?
Sounds like rattling plastic sleds lol , what kinda suspension does this have ?
This sounded good right up until you stated hub drive motor. Those aren’t good durable options and are honestly the cheapest electric drive solution. For 2K this absolutely should have a dedicated drive system.
So the 10a batteries from my 24” snowblower should give me a bit of extra range..
Yes, you will get more runtime with the 10Ah batteries from your snow blower. Thanks for watching.
dog was a little slower on the second pass...wore out. LOL
I didn’t know I needed one of these until I saw it. Great for camping and going to the shooting range.
Solid wheels or pneumatic tires? What's the top speeds in the normal and eco modes? Will it still do 28 mph after the total available amp hour drops below 10?
They have pneumatic knobby tires that are great for off road riding, but make a slight humming noise on paved roads. It goes 15mph in eco-mode, 20mph in normal mode and 25 to 30mph in sport mode, depending on how much you weigh. With two 7.5 amp hour batteries, it will remain in sport mode until they're both completely drained. With one 7.5 amp hour battery, it will only go 15mph and sport mode can't be activated. The range is around 20 miles. I ordered two 12 amp hour batteries for it, so those figures could all change. The figures l listed apply when using the two 7.5 amp hour batteries provided with the bike. If you have other EGO tools and a charger, it's actually a better idea to buy the bike bare tool and buy two 12 amp hour batteries separately. Hope this helps
I really like the Ego products. Really looks awesome but I do not like the power cable to the hub motor being run so close to the tire. Kind of a what the heck were you thinking situation there. Rocks, sticks, tire damage and more pose a real threat to the cable.
do you think the ego mini would pull a light weight trailer and a quartered out deer maybe 110 # 's total . The trailer would be like the ones they sell for the hunting e bikes that cost 4 to 6 grand, just a thought. i would be using 10 or 12amp batteries. I am a ego user . it would be used on ohio farm land fairly level . thanks for any relies , my 185#
This is a neat idea if the pricing is lower then a mini bike or less then cheap electric bikes
What happens when you run out of blinker fluid in the containers on handle bars?
That’s a good question, assuming it can do regen braking you will probably loose brake pressure but the electric motor may help to stop, someone has to have an answer to this question
Interesting, but I would really be concerned about how exposed that orange power line is. Even on gravel roads, rocks are going to be flying up chipping away, not to mention actual dirt. How does it handle water, mud, snow and the moisture?
a 20 mile range is horrible for that $2K price. You can get an Ebike with triple that range for the same $2k price.
Beautifully created video!! Thanks
2k for probably 15-20 miles of range and like 25 mph come on that’s foolish you can get a street legal Honda Navi for 1800..
Not if you consider the E bikes it’s really competing with. $2k is actually really really cheap compared to many of those.
@@2down4upthey have amazing ones that are around 1k that do 40-50 miles at over 30mph.
@@paulkersey6283 Usually those are no name brand bikes with a no name hard tail frame, running a no name motor, with mechanical disk brakes, no lights, a basic LCD display and so on. Yes I know you can find really cheap bikes, but a well equipped middle of the road brand name bike with this kinda power, equivalent batteries, and lights is easily double that price if not more. In fact the only bikes that might come kinda close in terms of battery is probably one of the Riese Müller super bikes.
@@paulkersey6283which one(s) would you recommend?
@@paulkersey6283those are cutting corners, especially in the battery department. No thanks.
I have a few ego products love it, but this bike is high at $1300. I like how batteries are interchangeable on all ego. I dont like hoe sports mode require 2 batteries.... Ill stick to my Gen1 lectric XP bike at $800 with charger and battery and goes about the same 28mph 20miles range.. thanks for thr review.
The electronical features, hydraulic brakes, full suspension and reverse put it leaps ahead of anything in its category
I find it amazing the bike is smart enough to know it can’t deliver peak amps with less that a 10ah battery or combined capacity if the packs can. E connected in parallel.
Every lithium ion pack sold has a BMS, and if it’s a good BMS it will not allow the battery peak discharge to exceed rated value. Imagine if it allowed you to put 1x 2.5ah pack in and discharge at 40a (20c), that pack would either shut down in 3 seconds or suffer damage. So by saying (10ah combined capacity), to give the same peak 40a its only 4c, well within any decent li-ion pack.
$1300 is a little pricy for a ebike without battery and then another $1600 for 3x 12ah batteries, $3900 for a 56v24ah+12ah ebike. Its only practical if you already in the EGO ecosystem and have lots of their batteries.
It said 2000k with batteries If I read that right lol
@@EJ-74 , yes, $2000 with 2x 7.5ah batteries or $1300 ala cart if you have compatible batteries. If somehow you found a bunch of batteries at a garage sale for $20 each then its worth $1300 to buy this thing if you have a place to ride it.
@@imho7250 Thanks for the info
Sooo......the horn and reverse are on the same switch Hmmm....what could go wrong?
Does this model not have arrow lights, left and right?
How many watts is the motor?
Can I drop in 2x 10 AH batteries or is it only built to hold the 7.5 AH ones?
Very cool! Wonder if EGO will make an ATV?
I’ve got the EGO trimmer and blower, but I want the little chainsaw and this badass 56v bike!?!
Do the higher Ah batteries fit?
Awesome review bro. If only I had somewhere to ride it😢
Same here. Just paved public roads for miles and miles.
so 56V x3 so 168V am i to believe at 7.5amp hrs? for that 200mph or better top speed? nah? 😢 well i know 72V can hit 60mph center drive hear ratio swapped but gotta have bigger sprocket for high speed low torque lil sprocket high torque/limited speed such as this... it's not a bad rig just needs some friendly upgrades to be Americanized ya know something ya can enjoy enough to commute on i do like that it's not a separate set of batteries it's what ya already have if you bought toolkits or possibly knock off diy battery kits but battery size limits/storage capacity matters i think i was hearing quotes of other assisted bycyles running 20 amp hr at 12 36 48 72V depending on what ya buy more volts higher speed more amps more hill climb abilities without the nasty overheating or fear of lithium fires 🔥 best part is ya can easily pop these batteries out without the key incase of overheating and save the bike from burning just buy a new' "fuel tank" ⛽ I'd say it sure beats 36V version of childs minibike because it's probably slightly more rugged to take a beating and keep working 💪🏼 i myself went for 21 speed large tire 🛞 for efficiency that's running 2 1000W or hopefully cappable of more like 10k W but upgrading the thin wires to jumper cables for saftey of lack of resistance heating to push all the amps when needing to tow without melting wish mine took advantage of full wheel size for leverage and torque but also top speed I'm definitely looking to try 72V on the 48V systems hoping i don't but out the electronics rather it be 108V with the thicker 2gauge wiring to handle the amps the smaller fuse being after battery before "jumper cables" and I'm looking at way better than 25mile at full power speeds need at least to hold 80mph for 100 miles that'd get you 50 there and back round trip with a bit to spare for the battery degradation and fast charging stage 5 even though they only have stage3 as new now and charging while being used abilities say a solar panel or windmill for that extended or infinite with sun range though limited in speed by power input and batteries charge strength or depletion limit i don't have a suron but if you search the step above suron your in a good ballpark but i started with the downgrade from suron because actually a pedal powered bicycle 🚲 for when you are forced to be unlazy to get it to a charge port
I've got the batteries but I think I'll stick with my gas mini bikes. Would be cool to take out of the truck anywhere and go for a quick stealthy ride though. Hmmm... Thanks for info.
when compared to the size of the honda grom are they about the same?
The Grom is bigger. This is closer to the Honda Monkey.
How are these on steeper hills?
can i put two 12amp batteries? or how about one 12amp and one 5amp?
Yes, the 12Ah battery will fit with no problem. You can run a 12 and a 5 or any other size EGO batteries. Thanks for watching.
