@@2000Renovatio thank you for watching! 😊👍 It is really nice to hear that my videos have been of help 😊👍

@@etna-watch I think there might not be setting to turn off throttle. You can choose not to use it or maybe even cut the throttle wire to controller and put switch in the wire. But I have no experience on that. Some legal issue in your country with the throttle? You could ask the manufacturer (EKX facebook page if you have EKX bike)

It turned off but I got no idea how, it was not by using the shortcut you mentioned in this video

@@ijsbeest for me it works on/off the same way. Power off, throttle+breaks-》power on at same time, keep holding untill display stops doing stuff, then release throttle and breaks. Good thing it turned off if that did not work. Always worked for me, so sorry I can not help more with your case.

@@Usva78 I’ll let you know if I know exactly what I maybe did or did not wrong. Anyway thanks for all the videos 🤝 I love riding the bike

@@ijsbeest thank you and nice to hear the videos have been helpful 😊👍 the bike is fun and I am waiting a bit better weather to ride more this autumn 😅

@@gnl495 I have wiped it once with wet cloth, but if I would really need to wash it, I would remove the battery and maybe spray some parts with water and wipe the more delicate parts. It should be able to handle like rain and stuff, but I would not use high pressure washers or spray directly to battery connections or controller box. After washing I would wipe the more delicate parts with dry cloth and let it dry. I think you can actually use hose to wash the whole bike, but I would be a bit more careful... it is just me, but thats how I would do it 😅 Maybe some other viewers who own the bike have more info on this.

@@guitarzleo thank you 😊 Yes the countryside and even the town here is quite beautiful 😊 Too bad the winter is coming and starts to be cold and dark in morning, so my commute riding has been on hold 😅 I need to adjust clothing a bit and do some test ride on these close to 0 celcius temperatures to work, maybe it is not so bad 😅 During day still around +10 so thats not too bad and autumn is full of colors so beautiful nature to see 😊

@@Usva78 Thank you for your reply. It's true that EV batteries tend to suffer in cold weather... Riders as well! Definitely insulated clothes for you, I don't know if there are any protective materials to cover the battery. Anyways, happy riding whenever you can!

@@guitarzleo thanks 😊 I did rrad somewhere that you can put kind of battery wrap on some batteries and actual use of battery warms it too 😊 For myself I need to buy some better winter outdoors clothes, already using layers in clothing and coldest I have been riding has been maybe +5 on some part of way 😅 usually no less than +10... lets see in future videos how it goes 😄👍

@@exocobra8392 not yet, but under +10C batterylife seems shorter and max speed drops faster than when it is warm. Winter is coming so I guess we will see soon 😅👍

@@Usva78 Okay, I'm thinking about getting one for commuting to work but I don't know if it can handle -30C 😅

@@exocobra8392 might be too much, if I remember right -10 or -20 was limit in some specs. Might have been different bike. I would ask EKX facebook page for this, if you have facebook? I will try to find out before winter riding, but even -5 will feel really cold when riding 😅 There might be some russian youtubers riding x21 or x20 in winter and maybe there is one place to ask how it works in cold.

@@Usva78 thank you I will ask on the FB page!

Yes it is most of time, but too often damn cold too 😄👍

@@Tartu1000 here in Finland I have insurance from If-insurance company. They have those for e-bikes and it only costs about 80€ per year or so. I think I pay it in 6 parts so it is not expensive. That only covers the compulsory trafic insurance, but if I want to insure the bike (theft, crash, fire,...) then that would have been like 170€ extra. I think you can do the same temporary termination as with cars insurance. But I do not know for sure. And there should not be any minimum for the duration of that insurance. So you should be able to get one for few months too.

@@Tartu1000 my home insurance covers theft of ebikes, so that side is covered from there. Different insurance company as this one had only moped insurance for my ebike and that was double the price compare to ebikes trafic insurance from If.

Oh and cost would be the same for all roadlegal ebikes that need to be insured. That is over 250W and moving without pedaling... now i think with new regulations weight of the bike is one reason for insurance too 😅

@@Usva78 There is still no mandatory road insurance for electric bicycles and scooters in Estonia. But on December 1, there will be mandatory motor insurance for electric scooters with a weight of more than 25 kg. The X20 and X21 electric bicycles do not have mandatory road safety, because these vehicles can also move with the help of pedals. In Estonia, the one-year insurance premium for mopeds and scooters with gasoline engines is €27-€35, but not more. I wanted to know how much the specific traffic insurance for your X21 is financially. In Estonia, not a single insurance company knows yet how big the insurance premium for scooters weighing more than 25 kg will be, because according to the current compulsory mobility insurance tariff, it should be around €700 per year, but it is too much financially.

@@Tartu1000 just checked and my insurance is 88€/year and covers all damages to people in accident (me, passenger, others in crash), damages to vehicles, items and property of other "side" of crash, but not my bike. So it is same as mandatory car insurance that way.

@@markifi looks like dirtbike or such, but really it is ebike 😊👍

@@user-bg7vn4de5u thank you 😊👍👍

Get on to them thay should send you a set of replacement gears

@@revparsons3tl they said they're getting the engineers to look into it. I don't think geared hub motors are good for people who use the bike heavy like every day. But lets see what they say.

Did you do a video mate and sent it to them

@revparsons3tl they asked me to send one to them. I actually sent them 3. Along with proof for some other stuff. So im waiting to see how that claim goes. Honestly, i would much rather then send me a direct drive motor. Because i ride this bike everyday and if this is an issue with geared motors it will just happen. Again. Thank you for the consern. Appreciated

@@revparsons3tl the actual motor is wonky. Not just the gears.

@@Nitro91 yes max is kind of like Surron and such. I dont think you can get MAX as road legal one here.

@@jackhard14 thanks, I was looking for some of those offroad ones for winter as studded tires are hard to get or expensive 😅

@@jackhard14 i also use power levels on 1-3 pedal assist levels. 1 is set so that it goes about 26km/h and 2 goes around 35...3 goes max power 48km/h or so. I did this as with right tire size for accurate speed on speedometer and km in odometer (22") will show the actual real limited speed that is 22 or 21km/h. I do use the limiter mostly, but on long rides in countryside I might switch off to get the better min-max speed

@@mattshaw4564 thank you very much 😊👍

@@user-bg7vn4de5u thanks 😊 bike i got from here: x.alibaba.com/AxSCvG?ck=minisite And the fender links are on video description 😊👍

Thanks for the reply.. keep the information flowing.. very clear and straightforward top work.👌. Look forward to more vids.😉

@@user-bg7vn4de5u thank you 😊 just moved to different town and have lots of stuff to do, but next video will be 1000km (now 1200km) review 😅 trying to get that out finally in next two weeks 😊

Hope the move works out well for you.. Look forward to more content when you stop unboxing 📦..😁👍

@@MiamiElectrix from settings you can change it so that throttle is always 100% power, or use the pedal assist levels to change power %. You can set the wanted power levels to pedal assist numbers. I use 1-3 option. Meaning there are 3 assist levels. Also had to set the highest level to 100% because it was something lower like 86% or something. With 1-9 option 9 has like 98% as default. I hope this helps. Simply put change tire size to 22" to get right speed shiwn on display and set the power % levels on the pedal assist option you use to such that highest actually has 100%. Or you can take the level out from use when using throttle only and you will always have 100% max power with throttle.

gotcha thank you and what's top speed on level terrain

@@MiamiElectrix 48km/h is max speed for me and if I remember right it is close to max speed for everyone. Maybe you can get 50km/h when you have rear wheel up and try full throttle without actually riding. You can get better range with different tires as shown on my latest video, but it will not get you more speed than that.

@@MiamiElectrix tire size 22" gives correct speed compared to gps. My km/h max speed setting did nothing, so at least on my bike it did not change max speed. Break-throttle quick switch thing drops max speed to 22km/h when you have correct tire size. With the factory setting of 24" it shows around 24-25, but with that size setting speed is shown wrong.

@@exocobra8392 If I remember right, it is about 45kg with battery. Battery is like 7-8kg.

@@DrewM-in8cz 22" is about correct size. I changed to it and it seems accurate 😊👍

@@Thisplacegood I try to make video on weekend and put link here. Been busy and weather has been bad, so bike has been in storage for a while 😅 but i try to make a video on weekend for you. You need to see how i put it together, or is it ok if I just film the front fenders top closely and try to explain? Just has longer screws and lots of nuts and washers as spacers. This fender has 2 of the screw holes just in right place aligned with 2 holes on the bike at that spot 😊

@@Usva78okay thanks😊

@Usva78 😭

@@zane___k7333 was like 35 euros for 4 pairs of pads from aliexpress EKX official, so not too bad even if I need to change twice a year or something. Front breakpads were ok but back had worn like 2mm or so... 😅

@@zane___k7333 these but you need to select from buy options the x21 ones. Pics have only x20 pads. a.aliexpress.com/_ExWjd5D

@@rcplaytime thanks 😊👍👍 It is great bike for the money. Some little things I do not like, but would buy one if I did not have it already. I will make another tire review and 1000km review hopefully soon. I bought these new ones as I thought I need something a bit more suitable for dirt roads and tarmac as my riding is mostly tarmac but the street tires did not do too well on dirt and gravel. Pic of the tires on my last community post. They seem best from these 3 I have, but still only 10km testing done.

@@ijsbeest Im happy that it was useful 😊👍

@@P4RXY I think the motor will always have the same watts. I do not think the limiter changes used watts either (I am not too good with that stuff, but would assume so). Motor will be 500W (2000W label on side). I guess you are asking from legal point for watts limit to your country?

@@Usva78 yea because I saw bikes that have a top speed of 50 km/h but when you limit to 25 km/h it reduces the watts to 250. How much did you buy it? Did you know other bikes with the same design( this ebike as the same design as a motorcycle)? It is secure to buy on alibaba?

@@P4RXY I am not sure about the 500->250W thing. I would ask EKX on their official facebook page about it. I bought it from reliable Alibaba vendor with around 1400€ including delivery and taxes. My first video has the info on pinned comments. I add link to the video and vendor below. I just messaged them on Alibaba app and told what I wanted and asked price and delivery time. They had some at EU warehouse so got mine in a week. Sunny Ge that answered message helped a lot and handled everything for me. Video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sGXRmaCpbJJ1ppIsi=M_8-qoWNF4rDx0PB Vendor on Alibaba I used: x.alibaba.com/Ax4ZmR?ck=minisite I have made more videos on the bike and made reddit post too: www.reddit.com/r/ebikes/s/1oyfLCtB7U Freego x2 looks totally the same, but has way more power and speed. So not road legal here where I live. Also costs double.

@@jakemiyamiya7113 go to the vendor on this link and send message asking about bike you want. In this case EKX X-21 and tell where you live. Ask price and delivery time too. Sunny Ge handled my purchade by crrating the order and I just paid.was really easy. So start by messaging them from Alibaba app or their pages message/chat box. She answered really quick and even on weekends. x.alibaba.com/Ax2knS?ck=minisite

@@Usva78 thankyou sir! Starting to do some research

@@jakemiyamiya7113 no problem 😊👍

@@HuaaR you will not like pedaling this too much. You do not need to either with the big battery it has. It is possible but if you rather pedal more, then I suggest getting maybe the X-20. I am 190cm too and can pedal ok for a while, but the ergonomics for that are not too good. Size is otherwise ok, but 190cm is quite at the upper end of height that you should have. Pedaling knees come up quite high and now that I changed to street tires with lower profile, you can feel what few cm will do. Lets see if I can make some video of the pedaling from different angle for the 1000km review. Might take few weeks as I have lots to do, but I try to make the video quite soon as it is only 20km away now 😊👍

@@hvg7351 for me delivery was for free and at that moment 2 tires with inner tubes with delivery was like 40€ with all the discounts I got, if I remember correctly. You might want to check if there is other vendor there that delivers free to your country? 80€ for 2 tires is not horrible but I do not know how long these last, so if they wear quickly, then it is a bit much I guess.

@@Usva78 They will not wear out, they hold the bike very poorly when there is dirt, sand, clay, as well as when there are leaves in the fall

@@Usva78 I had to leave the stock Chao Yang, it is noisy but holds the road well

@@hvg7351 that is what I was thinking. On gravel it did not feel good but dry tarmac it is awesome tire compared to original tire on the bike. Good to hear your insights. I did order other tire too so lets see how that works. I need tire that handles dirt roads a bit better at the moment so might change too 👍👍

@@Usva78 I have already driven 6000 km on these tires on the stock Chao Yang.very cool tires I still have CST in stock.I order everything from Alibaba

@@mannymonroy thank you for watching, I am glad if it helps in some way 😊👍

@@mannymonroy remember to choose the tire or tire and innertube. Default is just the inner tube and thats why the price seems super low. a.aliexpress.com/_EGlaoTH

@@putteslaintxtbks5166 I had to correct the size to 22 from 24 for the original tires to get accurate reading on display. But now it seems almost correct compared to gps. The faster acceleration might be due to added torque. Lets see if Im able to test the batterylife on these in near future 😊👍

@@michaelkinc2336 like some viewer commented, these tires are 20x4 20 rim, 4 width, but lower profile. So not completely 20x4 as some reviews in aliexpress said. These do fit but I would not try 20x3. Innova has street tires with 20x4 1/4 size so they are lityle bit wider even. Reviews say those do fit... but if I remember right they only hold 1.4 BAR pressure.

@@revparsons3tl have you considered these? a.aliexpress.com/_EyRJUqX

@@revparsons3tl these might not be so good for me either as there are these gravel roads I like to ride 😅 on tarmac they are exellent and suspension takes care of bounces... loose gravel is not fun 😅

@@Usva78 I will look into some soon 4 now say with my upgraded knobbly tyres

@@ProdbySpk3 legal speed limit for a e-bike in Finland is 25km/h so testing with that was the idea. With full speed you get average speed close to 40km/h and range would be maybe 50km. That is a good estimate. With smaller and lighter rider you can easily add range to these and even the temperature affects it. So it is hard to do just one range test that gives you results for all cases 😊

@@armyca thats how I was thinking it but read reviews saying they were 20x3. You are correct 👍👍😊 But with the lower profile should I not see reduction in speed when the electric motor has max rpm? Or maybe the reduction in drag or whatever the word is, nullifies the reduction in speed 🤔😅

@@Victor_Cazal yes she wanted to help 😄❤️🐶❤️

@@revparsons3tl I will make a little video from material I have now. These tires lower the bike a little or so it feels. As for 190cm guy like me it is not the best thing. Someone shorter might actually like that change. It rolls smoothly on tarmac but hard tires make it annoying on rocky places as the bike does bounce. Akso these tires have huge difference in turning grip on asphalt. It really make maneuvering a lot different... but I make a little video so you guys can see and hear how the tires work 😊👍 it will be up tomorrow the latest.
