ENGWE E26 Unboxing Review & Test Ride 70 NM Torque Engwe E26 Step Thru High step All-Terrain E-bike

[@StonebrakerDoesStuff]

I bought mine in October, lots of rides on my youtube channel on the Engwe E 26. I can’t speak more highly of it! Such a great bike overall and the cost is great for all the features.

[@peterthomas7203]

Hi Buttie, I just received my E26 and put it together for a short test ride. I tried to activate the throttle and increase the speed as you showed us in the video but it wouldn't allow it. The throttle was active when it arrived but only at the walking speed. Anyway, after a search online I found someone who had got an answer from customer services - press +&- for 3seconds to enter the menu, then press + for 15 seconds and bingo, 63kms came up on screen! i still can't adjust the max speed but i have changed another setting so the throttle matches the PAS level. I can't alter the number of PAS levels either but 5 is fine for me. Sorry for the long comment! Thanks for all your reviews 😊

How far do you get unlocked please,im only getting 20 miles or so.Im 110 kg and give it a good ragging in assist 3 to 5.I just thought the range was a little low and wondered if i got a dodgy battery.

[@peterthomas7203]

@GG-ml3vr Unfortunately, life has dealt a curve ball and I haven't had time to get out on the bike at all! Sorry.

I bought a 250watt yosepower kit like you have done before. I have add 11:25 ed mine to a lightweight 20" folding bike to the front wheel. I ran a freewheel test today indoors on mph. Level one 7.7, level two 10.9, level three 13, level four 14.7 and level five 17.5. It will interesting to actually see what I do off road whilst pedalling. Never added the motor to not pedal as it is for my fitness now to assist. Added the largest battery 36v 15.6a to the rear carrier. Never added the thumb throttle, brake levers and light, just the PAS. Now I have 2 WD.

[@TeddyArmitage]

Loved your review my man. I’ve just purchased an e26 from their website, but have just checked their latest Trust Pilot reviews, and they’re poor! Really hoping my £1100 investment isn’t at risk now. Will be my first e bike

[@baconbuttties]

I found the E26 to be an excellent bike 👍

[@tonyrobinson362]

If ride on the road expect it to be seized and you fined, Its totally illegal but these influencers just gloss over it.

[@TeddyArmitage]

@@tonyrobinson362 hi mate. I appreciate your comment. These bikes are legal however, as they have a ‘250w’ motor and I’ve been riding my e bike for months. I love it! So much better for the planet 👍🏼

[@GG-ml3vr]

​@@tonyrobinson362If limited to 15mph and has no throttle its totaly legal.

[@fencer39]

You say a 250w motor that can be unlocked......Would it be a re-labelled 750w

[@baconbuttties]

The 70nm of torque is there whether you ride it locked or unlocked . It just allows it to go faster than the legal 15.5 mph

[@edwardwarnaar7801]

well does it have a 750W that is downgraded to a 250W...as they are sold in the states as a 750W and Engwe says they only make one motor @@baconbuttties

[@boyka523]

i want to buy an extra battery for E26.which battery i order ? kindly guide me

[@baconbuttties]

You will have to look on the engwe website. Do you want the same battery or one you can use on the rear rack?

[@jeffreyvanzeijst7932]

Could you perhaps share the measures of those front rack studs? Preferably in millimeters! Engwe doesn't sell the p20 rack but there are some better inexpensive racks out there anyway but i guess we could always drill additional holes in the basket plate to make fit. Also im considering to fit a bike style Small windscreen to help keep a bit of wind and rain out of the face. Although most bicycle windscreen mostly designed for baby's 😅.. i know how much it helps on mopeds to keep bugs out of the eyes😂 especially when bombing this bicycle down the road

[@baconbuttties]

I will try and remember to measure them for you 👍

[@andrewnewton-e3o]

if you still want a front rack. cube store do one ,its called ACID Carrier Compact 20" Front.£39.99

[@OrsolyaBirton]

I am 155 cm tall, and I am wondering if the ENGWE E26 E electric bike would be a good fit for me. Are the handlebars and saddle adjustable to accommodate my height?

[@baconbuttties]

@@OrsolyaBirton I would say its a little big for your height. Engwe L20 is better suited

[@andrewnewton-e3o]

great video, i am getting an engwe e26. can you tell me can you use the throttle and set it to 6kmh, so its within uk law. it would give you a start from traffic lights etc.

[@baconbuttties]

@@andrewnewton-e3o E26 is a great bike, I'm not sure how low you can set the throttle.

Hi ya me butties, just looking for some advice on ebikes. what do you think is the best way to go buy or build? my needs are for more hanging on rather than all the peddling as im waiting a new hip?

[@baconbuttties]

If you have a bike already then build would be the cheaper option. But if you have hip issues then something like a pre built step thru would be a good option, as they are much easier to get on and off

Hi Baconbutties. Nice review, thanks. I just wondered if you had any view about ENGWE post sales service. I assume you don't worry about such things, the numerous boxes you receive are, I imagine, free of charge, but I would welcome your comments? I am going to buy the bike described here, but am rather concerned by the Trustpilot review which has posted a warning that reviews are incentivised (very common of course) and therefore issued no Trust score. There are also a good crop of negative comments regarding customer support? Common to many of these drop shipped bikes that seem to appear from .... who knows where? As a service to your followers and myself, I would welcome your views/experience? Many thanks.

[@baconbuttties]

I can only speak from my experience which has been fantastic and I have great communication with Engwe. I have also never had a problem with any of their bikes. Also to add a lot of people have emailed and messaged me that they have purchase Engwe bikes after watching my videos, that has also been positive. I can only speak from my experience 👍

For practically and ease of use my personal choice would either be the L20 or the E26. The E26 is quite a big bike....If you need to transport the bike around then I would go for one of the folding options.

Is this ebike too big for someone 1m60 tall?

Minimum Saddle Height is 90CM, so it's probably a bit tall for a 1.6m person

[@jeffreyvanzeijst7932]

Or Change the seat post.. probably a fairly inexpensive part. To get the saddle 10cm down

[@simonjohnhinton1938]

I think engwe and other Chinese ebike manufacturers are going to be investigated for false advertising as regards to the power outputs. It doesn't take much to work out the max power of your bike if you multiply the voltage by how many amps the controller has. For example my engine x 48v x 18amps is about 864watts peak power.

[@baconbuttties]

Do you know of any ebikes that are actually 250 watt at peak power?

[@baconbuttties]

👍

[@simonjohnhinton1938]

@@baconbuttties probably none of them lol. The British manufacturers seem to be legit. My old dear has an e-venture step thru which has a 36v 10ah 250w setup which I repaired the lcd display. I even had a go on it to make sure of the repair and pulls like a 250w should😆.

Looks like a nice bike but man those disc's are massive, 180cm... 😂 The Law regarding the throttle in the UK is ridiculous, some cities allow the escooter to be ridden in the public road and the only way for them to move is a throttle, I really don't know why an ebike has to be different.

Most ebikes get 160 cm , 180 is an improvement...UK ebike law needs updating

[@Biggusdickuss111]

Most people are riding illegal ebikes, Or legal ones unrestricted, most towns and country peelers don't care, in some big citys where they're ridden dangerously by delivery idiots thru pedestrians,, or weaving in and out of traffic..so rightly get pulled in by the peelers. Where l live l know at leat 12 people with illegal ebikes who've never been bothered by the bow street runners, I've had them behind me for a mile and a half l just pedalled and kept my speed down to 15mph, they eventually overtook me at a junction, then a week later in my small town l pulled in on the opposite side to some fuzz and they came past and nodded their appreciation of my pulling in, 5 mins later another van of 5 O were behind me again,, passed me by eyes ahead not even noticing me, my mate has a large ebike with 1000w motor been riding around town for 18 months and the local plod have never bothered him once. Besidesthe ebike advertised here is 20w and leave off throttle and it is legal.
