Wow. Great that it came with the extra things. The audio quality in your videos has improved a lot. You always speak very clearly, Rob. I have learnt a great deal here, in the past 8 years.
Robert legal limit is 250w motor giving pedal assistance up to 15mph in uk , not sure if new bikes are allowed throttle, bikes made before a certain year were allowed them , any way they are great tools for for getting about on if your a certain age 🚵🏿👍 (ps you can hack the speed by changing the wheel size,or get into the controller)
As the wheels are already pretty small I doubt changing the size on the controller will make much difference. 20" to 16". Of course there might be other ways to hack a bit more speed from it.

Listen nobody cares so long as you arent tearing up the street at 30 plus miles an hour. I've been riding an A20 and Fiido L3 for a long while now. Both 350w motors. Both can go 21mph plus. No problems from anyone. If you were on an electric motorbike that can do 30 plus mph. And you dont have a license and all the rest. Then you are likely to get pulled up and problems. With a ebike. Once they see the pedals. They dismiss it as just another bike straight away.
Always be aware of other drivers and how they act around bikes on the road stay safe and the bike is going to get you fit and slim not long before we see you P.O.V from a bike live somewhere in London great video keep up the good work.
P.S. lads there is a load of these bikes that are identical, except they put different names on them ( and cost, which is crazy) two mistake but they are forgiveable, 1, be careful opening up so the pedels are out of the way of the wiring going under the bike.2, mine dose not clock speed when not using the motor.(so not sure if yours will.)
I am quite enjoying it to be honest - the company should be giving me a code for this one to give a 15% discount I think. but the vid will go mainstream once the code is here
i have the very same one as that. except my bike is called "SAMEBIKE" it but it's meant to be said SAM-E,BIKE. best money i have ever spent. your going to enjoy it lads. VERY MUCH. IV ALREADY PUT UP 1,870 Km ON MINE< WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS, (EXCEPT BLOODY PUNCTURES)
Hey Robert, I just posted a video tutorial on how to make a 1 amp hour zinc ion super capacitor. Much of the design is from all the knowledge you have shared on your channel, so thank you. The battery is a 3d design, lots of active material paste spread into carbon felt air filter. Please let me know what you think, I don't think many homemade batteries reach the capacity I accomplished! And it's all thanks to you! (PS, we have talked before, my name is also Robert!)
I just went and watched it mate - that is awesome work I would like to feature this on my twitch stream if you are ok with that - this deserves many more views
looks like a crakcing bit of kit i recently brought a broken whirlwind c4 which is a similar type of deal folding ebike obs it was broken so i set about it there had been a loose plug inside whcih shorted on another cable plug which wasnt used by the bike so a new controller , display , and pas sensor sorted thta as well as having to take th emotor apart as the hall sensors in the motor had blown also was very handy getting a ebike tester i didnt even know they existed lol
My partner just got one of these. It's a great bike! The only annoying thing about it is the mudguards. They're chucking mud up her back and from the front wheel too. Wonder if there's a better mudguard that I could replace with.
It sounds like you enjoyed that bike no end :-D My mate bought a amazon swifty bike and he has to peddle that too, but no real effort. He did buy some better calipers as the original ones were a bit naff. i suppose 700 quid was a bit cheap, i expected some cost cutting.
Hey Rob love your channel mate just discovered it, new subscriber, just wondering if you know the measurements for the battery that comes with the Ado A20? Cheers 👍
Would like your opinion....looks like a rather straight steer arm and fork, very little 'trail' to the front wheel.. Is it a bit goosey for us old folks. Most of the scooters like those from Bird and Lime, have similar issues so I'm a bit uncomfortable on them. Can u ride it hands free ...which means it's a stable geometry.
Does it have regeneration when going downhill? With pedal assist you should be able to get 50-60km comfortable ride on that thing. Put the 100kwh batter on it and you can go on a holiday ✌
one of my (many) 'dreams' is to leave straight from the airport on one of these - no expensive taxi when flying on a cheaper night flight . But for piece of mind i would pack it in a case for the hold luggage, and better if it's collapsable ... so a folding case to fit a folding bike lol!!
@@goat-shaw interesting.. just looked it up and the limit is 100Wh per unit or 160Wh per two units. These batts are usually 10-13Ah. so a 'split-able' 12V variant could possibly be allowed, but usually ebike are in one piece and 36-48V. Balls.
Hey rob I've just set up something you might find interesting. I have a 1.2v dc motor powered by a 1.2v aaa battery i connected the motors shaft directly to another dc motor but a 12v one. Not only does the small motor spin the bigger one...I tested it and read 12.5v at around 1 amp...I plan to loop the motors and remove the battery.
Not sure about the laws there but here in Australia, any bicycle with a motor (electric or fuel) is classed as a motorcycle which requires a licence and insurance. Anyway, food for thought. I love that bike, looks very nice indeed. How much do they sell it for?
Be careful Robert 350 watt motor and a throttle if you say you have riden it on anything other than private land you are admiting to a motoring offence live on youtube especially if you hack it to go faster. As it stands out of the box it is classed as an electric motorcycle and needs registering taxing and an aproved motorcycle helmet. I don't agree with the laws on these but they are the laws
More like electric Moped. if it is over 4KW continuous power it would classify as a motorcycle. At least i presume UK hasn't changed rules from the EU ones since Brexit. They may also classify it as an speed-pedelec, stil requires license, insurance and an helmet.
@@perpetual4958 Not sure about the clasifications I was always a 125cc rider with a car licence and cbt but anything classed as moped/motorcycle brings the same punishment if you don't have all the paperwork 3 points each for insurance,tax and no licence and then you have the fact that it is unregistered could easily loose your licence or as happened to the courier that killed someone whilst riding one your liberty But one thing for sure it won't be classed as Pedelec 😀
