I have one of their other bikes, the BK8S and it uses the same battery. In Autumnal or winter conditions you can expect that range to half, at least. You're lucky to get 10 miles out of it. I just thought that would be important to know for some of the viewers since in your video you are using it in quite fair conditions.

Try not to cycle on the pavement. Also my saddle disintegrated on me after 2 months. Glad to see you won the seat post shock absorber lottery, I wasn't so lucky. Fixing a rear puncture wasn't an issue. Handlebars and steering column weren't true so I had to flatten a nipple on the plastic sleeve to align them correctly. I use a short bungee rope to keep the thing together. Fixed gear is a pain but I'm planning to fit a bigger front sprocket to help with that. Finally the lights! Did you go out in the dark 'cause they are the best lights I've had on three folders.

Really enjoyed your review. It looks like a well made travel bike, perfect size for fitting inside my camper which doesn't have a bike rack. Maybe you could use the padlock which came with it to hold it together while it's folded? Beautiful backdrop for the video too.

Hi Mike good review, we had fold ups great for putting them indoors when you go for a walk as well, but ours were not electric and Sarah didn’t like the narrow bars, but I loved mine, good value for money as ours non electric were £400 each, 🥴 is the seat suspended re the baffle, cheers mate ….pete 🇫🇷

Great review Mike, only thing I may have missed was rider height max and min plus weight limit. Actually thinking of buying one for wife especially with the additional discount you have on your channel. Thanks again looking forward to next one if its as honest as this one.

Hi it can take up to 19st , seat and handlebars are both height adjustable for short or taller people , i enjoyed riding it , it takes a bit of getting used to at first but i found it very convenient to fold up and put it almost anywhere, HITWAY have good reviews and are pretty popular , thanks for watching and commenting Mike

If I was looking for a new ebike this one would be a contender. I look forward to the video of you and Kirsty on the back, going to get fish and chips. Zola could go in a basket on the front or in a dog rucksack. 😂 Take care Gill

Hi mike, that bike looks cool i think i could manage one of those as they are slower, think you said 1st gear was up to 5mph, some i have seen are too powerful. You had me worried at 1 point going fast and with only 1 hand on the handle bars and the camera in the other 🤦🤦 thank god you wore your helmet.take care out there,see you soon x
@TheFrenchiesMotorhomechannel3 ай бұрын
Hi julie yes some bikes have been modified but UK law is max 15mph , i think it just looked fast on camera but i always try yo remember to put a helmet on you never know with the crazy drivers these days! 🫣
