- The BEST All Rounder Electric Bike? AND Beautiful? Engwe E26 Review
This is the Engwe E26 Electric bike. It's a gorgeous ebike but not only that it's fast, comfortable, great up hills AND has great utility. I think the Engwe E26 is the perfect all rounder ebike.

Sir I salute your dedication. Travelling to America to test this machine shows real committment on your part. I was struck by how similar the landscape there is to the UK
Yeah it's nothing like in the movies 😂😅
I have ordered the Engwe E26 looking through many youtube videos, if I had watched yours first i could have saved my time not watching the rest, you explained everything anyone needs to know about the bike, other videographers take note from this professional, don't rabbit on, get to the point, i don't want to know your lifes story, clearly this video explains all, Kudos mate.
How has your experience been with it mate? Mines in the post and can’t wait but get it. Hoping it all works! lol
@@TeddyArmitage I have other ebikes, last one a Giant cost 3 grand, the Engwe E26 is far superior, even down to the packaging, the build quality is exelent, the motor is very powerful and pulls like a train, when you get to the section about power percentage, you will find what suits you best through trial and error, no big deal, but it is worth sorting that out early on, lots of video's on that, i am sticking with the nobbly tyres, but you can get road tyres if you don't go over rough terrain, this reduces resistance and tyre noise, the luggage rack is great...but i am a little short in the leg and catch my ankles cocking my leg over some times, because of the legnth of it (i have the cross bar type), little tip, on assembling the front wheel, washer on the inside of the forks, thrust washer with tang on the outside followed by the nut, if assembled wrong the spokes can catch on the fork legs making a ticking noise, I did it! Since owning the bike i cant keep off it, one thing you will notice is constant compliments from pedestrians and other cyclist, but i did get the bumble bee yellow, seems to be a hit with the girls, you see all different emotional faces as you pass people by, some of surprise and smiles, some of plain downright jealousy, but on the whole positive feedback, I had no idea it would attract all that attention, I didnt buy it to pose, but it comes with the package!
@@doncastervrandvideo8956 what an amazing reply! Thank you so much for your time in giving me all that info! The change of tyres shout is a great one! I can see them pretty noisy on the roads and that is where I will be riding my new bike. Thank you for your advice! I also have gone for the bumblebee yellow version. I just hope some of the horror stories will not be applicable to me. Will keep you posted. Thank you mate
How’s ur bike going now ?
@@seanroberts9242 Covered about 300 miles or maybe more, I reset the odo to measure milage, very reliable and i go much further a field because of that, the only thing we have no power over, is punchers, i carry Joe's no flats just in case of that, i swapped the seat out for a DripeX one off my other Ebike, the original is a bit hard on my arse, my old DripeX seat is bliss!
Another brilliant review nice bike I’m sure you could see snow to the Eskimos brilliant just brilliant a real top notch production on all you videos just the best
Ah thanks, glad you enjoyed it.
Another great video of an interesting e bike. When I was recently looking around it came down to this and the crazybird jumper, I finally went with the latter, but I was very tempted with the E26.
Thanks. Both great bikes 👍
*Another great review*
⚡️🤙🏽🤟🏽🤙🏽⚡️
USA speed footage looked great 😂
Yikes that spoke issue 😱
Key is a must these days, ebikes are a target n a half.
Haha thanks. So much camera trickery. Yeah agreed. Luckily it's no big deal to remove the battery on this one.
Great video! That bell looks huge!
I think it's good to have a key.
Cheers. The bell is nice ☺️
After seeing ur video on this bike I went a head and bought one of these could knot believe the size of it but rode still up and down my street was awesome but a smile on my face and going use this bike for my ride to work
Evening, sorry to bother you. How's the bike now even just over 2 weeks. Do you it daily, what distances?. Thks
I found when putting on the mudguards i placed rubber washers on as well and it took the rattling noise away from them.
I have the step through version of this bike and i am taking it on a santander to Valencia tour. Very steep hills. Day 1... doing OK.
Hi i,ve been watching your E-Bike videos for 6 months and i loved the L20 but Engwe said i was to evey for it so watch alot of youtube videos and fell in love with the E26 and i had to waite 2 months to get it becouse i wanted the BUMBLEBEE YELLOW i,ve had it 2 weeks and it,s a great bike i,ve told Engwe i think a 24 inch E26 would be great has the 26inch is very big it,s great seeing you test the E26 has its my first E-Bike and use it for work ps i live in northwood park and work on the stafford road so keep doing the videos has it got me to get my bike thanks.
Oh nice... A local lad 😂 yeah it is pretty big but very good. The bumblebee yellow looks awesome I'd probably choose that one too. Thanks for watching the channel and enjoy the ebiking 👍
😅 hehehe the exact E26 I have it is a Godzilla of a bike..the huge wheels and steep toptube. Although definitely I got used to it over time..even so much my a bit shorter wife actually is ok and using it more often as she grew used to it. I did swap the seat post for a regular one so it could drop even 8cm lower. And mounted a backsweeped handle bar for a shorter reach and more upright city tour position. But it's such a great and fast ride! Absolute good price and while having some flaws and not the best build quality.. some things flex a bit much and my disk rotors catching the brake pads even after realigning everything..it does indeed have some rattling noises from the fenders cables and brakes.. however..that price and the superb power and speed of it is absolutely enjoyable
I am toying with the E26 or the Himiway A7 Pro. Big difference in price, but just not sure what one to get. Great review.
Thanks. Yeah it is a big difference.. I'd go e26, new TV and some takeaways 😅
Really great video. I’d be interested to know which you preferred between this one and the king 750
Ooh good question. The king 750 was great. But the battery came out the bottom iirc which was annoying. It looked great though. But no rear rack. They're very similar TBF.
I think I’ll go with the Engwe. It’s going to be my first electric bike. Is there anything else that you would recommend for a first e-bike? :)
I was just about to buy the Engine Pro. I will probably never fold it down. Should I buy this instead? Thanks
Great video. Been watching for a while now and I've noticed that I'm very local to you, based on the areas you're riding in. I have a Eleglide M2 on the way that I'm considering putting the included throttle kit on but I'm concerned about getting pulled with it. Do the police around here tend to give you much hassle on these more... "exotic" ebikes that you tend to ride around on?
Interested to know this too mate, got a few options but just can't decide due to multiple factors/pros and cons etc
Got a bit obsessive tbh, doing my f*cking nut in 😅
Ps that Eleglide you're getting looks pretty inconspicuous, can't imagine you getting hasdled much on it. I've got an Eskute Voyager I had a couple of years ago here (out of action), and that was a good part of the draw for me; aggro looking in style but still basically under the radar MTB style rather than screaming 'nick me next officer'
@@maffstenning9627 Thanks. Having something that "looked normal" was important to me for a variety of reasons. I'll probably put the throttle on and see if it can be used to hit 6kph in walk mode. If it can, I have a way to disguise it if I'm ever stopped.
No problems so far but I do get a bit paranoid on stuff that looks more like a motorbike. My daily drivers are always more bike looking.
Nice bike but very heavy .I Have watched loads of reviews recently about the Engwe L20 2.0 or SE as it is known in the USA .It can go at 30mph ,looks amazing and it costs£800 which is a saving of £600 on this model and it does basically the same thing as this bike.. You should get a hold of one for review.
I'm not sure the correct weight was given in the video. The website says 34.5kg. I think that's the weight with the battery, but i could be wrong.
@@danimayb Link me to a page that shows that difference .The L20 not matter what it is called is throttle deactivated in the uk but you can easily unlock it and it goes at 20mph once released , same is true for the speed limit , once unlocked it will reach 28mph in peddle assist mode as you know a 750w motor is not street legal in the UK so they have messed about with the real size of the motor to make it legal , it`s really a 750w motor
When they build roof, then its a hit, riding in rain is waiting 2 hours to dry
Website via your link states 250w. Which Is correct. Cheers
I don’t know they now drive in the left in the USA and have UK style number plates!
Camera tricks 😅
What your thoughts on fiido m21? Specs looks good on it and cheaper than all the ones tour review by alot!
I recommend you to check out Fiido m1 pro, I've been riding fiido m1 pro for almost 3 months now, he's really handy and I haven't had any problems so far!
I go top hills for my jobs can this bike maintain hill climbing ??
It's a shame that Engwe don't entertain the Cycle to Work scheme to make buying a +£1,000 bike easier. My old e-Bike was a Haibike and I was only able to get that through the C2W, but it's getting old now (like its rider) and I like the look of these fat-tyre bikes. But there's no way I can drop a +grand on a new bike.
How tall and heavy are you mate. Great reviews by the way. Im 6.2" and 18 stone so a bit worried about ordeering one as I wont be able to sit on it and try it out.
5'9 16 stone. I'd say your weight and height will be fine in this. I didn't have the seat that high.
I am 6'1" and 120kg. Fine for me
Still an Engwe, that means it still comes with iffy quality and if anything goes wrong, you have to deal with the worlds worst customer service. Have you seen the Engwe Engine Pro 2.0 yet? Or have you already received yours? Looks like the same old terrible, unsafe design now in 52v form. Looking forward to your review.
No I didn't even know it existed.
@@e-VRC it’s been sent out to one of the influencers who follows me in the US. Only upgrade I can see is the 52v battery. Anyway, keep up the good work.
Is this kinda a Himiway Zebra-type bike? How come you never test Himiway’s? 🤔
Does it have s torque sensor?
I hate the UK ebike market granny style bikes tailored obviously towards oap's ridiculous restrictions. The government can sod off. The rich get richer the poor get poorer that's their only rule.
Im looking at this for a first time ebike, is it something you would recommend? Im 6ft tall, 280lb, or would you recommend something else? Budget og £1000 to £1400
Yeah this or the L20 would be great.
Do you think carrying it up a single flight of stairs would be feasible?
Doable but would be tough for some.
Please can the bike go up hill without lots of efforts on using either throttle or just peddle
Obviously depends on the hill but yeah if pedalling going up most hills is easy.
Hi! What do you recommend between this and Fiido Titan? Thank you!
Not tried the titan. Big fan of this though.
@@e-VRC I've seen the titan has torque sensor, this one has cadence sensor
@@e-VRC Maybe you will review the Titan :)
The bike looks huge I am 5’8” is it too big?, is it better to go for the step thru instead?
We're about the same height. Felt fine for me and I sold it to a lady shorter than me and she loved it. It is pretty big but feels fine when on it.
On the website they claim 250W motor, if i buy it will i get 250w or 750w?
It's 750 really but locked to 15.5mph and no throttle when it arrives. So it basically acts like a 250w legal bike until you unlock it.
Do you know what the weight is without the battery please. I want to take 2 of these on a towbar mounted rack
Hmm not sure. Have a look on the website to see if there's a net weight / gross weight. It's probably about 4kg less though.
Thanks for that. Wasn't sure if gross included the packaging 😂 I've emailed the company. I'll post back if they reply. Cheers
So that or M20 With twin battery which do you think ?
Im wondering the same thing
So the web site says 250 watt but its a restricted 750 watt??
Basically yeah
Has this got a 250w or 750w motor ? No sense in falling foul of the law in the UK.
It's 750 but locked down and throttle deactivated when it arrives. They sell it as a 250. No one who leaves it locked to 15.5 mph and no throttle is going to have their bike confiscated imho.
Can't beat a nice bell..Ha!!..And that fork does NOT have adjustable travel.....!
I just realised from the close up it didn't say preload. I can't say I can ever notice any difference though whenever I do adjust a dial that says preload. But yeah you're right.
Did you just brake test the front brake with 100% brake on a greasy road? Not too sensible that...
When it comes to i live in theNY are and trust me the thieves still run off with the bike. I've even seen thieves take a full blown gas powered moped with no keys they don't care i always throw a lock on. Alot of the time the key ignition doesn't deter them.
@@chrisposada9155 what's any of that got to do with him doing a brake test? 🤣
Can you get insurance on this bike in the uk?
I think to insure it at a moped you will need indicators and a probably a few other things
Is the battery the same is the ep2 pro
Different form factor but possibly the same capacity I'd have to check the website.
How tall are you. Bike looks huge
5'9 - it is pretty big but it's a comfy ride
@@e-VRC im 6.2 so happy its that big.
No all e bikes should only start with a key and a alarm on them
What is ur favourite Engwe bike
Ooh so far maybe the L20
@@e-VRC I’m buying the L20. What is it about the L20 you liked so much. I see a lot of people say L20 when asked. 🙂
No key = No sale.
Personally I wouldn't leave it locked up with battery connected with or without key. And if you're locking in a nice safe place then no key doesn't really matter.
What kind of gayass comment is this?
What kind of gayass comment is this?
Sell
shitti bike for sure! only problem and 0 assistance
It does look good. And I do like that bell. I hope you get frequent flyer miles for all those trips to America
Haha 😂😂👍
@@e-VRC hi I need a folding bike with a rack, have bad knees and need some advice on what’s the best to get to commute to work around 8 miles each way peddling needs to be very limited any advice welcome, love the no nonsense videos, also from Norwich nice to see the home town on the net 😂
