    The mudguards are not the main negative. But we might have a way to fix it!

    Another fair balanced review 👍
    I think with mudguards, front and rear racks and better lighting, this could be a great all terrain hunting style ebike for riding through woods.

    I like engwe there aftermarket team is good as well ive put almost 7000 miles on my engwe m20 since i got it in august. And have rode it in rain and yet it runs just fine. I would say its worth the 1450 i paid though now its on sale for 1200.

    Es una bicicleta ilegal en Europa desde enero de 2024. La nueva normativa de la DGT la clasifica como "ciclo a motor", y no viene homologada para darle de alta como tal. Si Policía o Guardia Civil te pillan con ella la multa es gorda, porque aunque la limites a 25 km/h, el motor sigue siendo de 1000 W, y pesa más de 40 kg. Buscad la normativa, es fácil de encontrar.

      Not even close. $55 a set and not available for months to come. I even contacted the company In advance of receiving the bike and they had no idea when or if the fenders would ever be in stock again. Probably added the guts of $100 in resale value.

      Had my x26 2 month now. Yes it needs mudguards, but Not sure with the rear suspension how a mudguard would fasten. That rear suspension could be better, as could the gearing, but be warned the hub/ gears are old fashioned screw fit freewheel so u won't be able to put mega gears on, to make it easier to pedal, no power it's a heavy bike and

    I had an X26. I think Engwe tried to do to many things in one bike and it just does not work. At 5'7" the X26 was also just way too tall for me. I ended up trading it for a hyper scooter with another UA-camr.

    In Europe it is illegal. New regulations from January 2024. The new European regulations classify it as a “motorcycle”, and it is not approved to be registered as such. If the Police or the Civil Guard catch you with it, the fine is heavy, because even if you limit it to 25 km/h, the motor is still 1,000 W, and it weighs more than 40 kg. Look for the regulations, it is easy to find.

    Please stop chopping back and to between day and night, and different topics. You make it very confusing tryng to keep track of what you are actually talking about! The 3mph throttle setting comes in handy for when you have to walk, pushing the bike, ie a no cycling precinct, as it is such a heavy beast.

    Fantastic looking bike and another great in-depth review but the deal breaker for me and all bikes that look like that one is the wire run, im a neat freak and love hidden wires, those running under the frame are definite no no for me, i know you cant hide all the wires but that bike looks like a scruffy home conversion.

    I have just ordered the X24 of Amazon , but still waiting for it, so found you video very useful . I used my olde ebike for work and will be using the 24 for the same use . How strong are foldable e-bikes ? As section I Hoover tree roots that make my old bike uncomfortable. How well will the x24 do? I love the fact that the x24 can give me 100 miles use with out charging but in what mode and speed will that be in . Can the x24 be ridden with out the batteries be one if they runout of charge ?

      Cheers. I was looking at some mudguards in Halfords today - wrapped around the top tube and the saddle stem. Not sure they'd work on this bike due to the battery under the saddle but they looked a good solution for other bikes with no mud guards. But yeah the decision to not need a key is insane imho.
