I just bought this bike today (it says colorway as the brand but looks to be the same thing). I am excited to get it today, set it up, and take it with me camping this weekend as I use a truck tent and leave the vehicle behind to go exploring

I did a afternoon on q14 route along the Thames on Saturday. A mix of 15 mph and 12pm., I managed to get 25 miles out of the battery. The 90 miles range advertised I will never achieve as I am 95kg and 10pm will be too slow for my liking. I think I can get 50 miles range if I only use assist level 1 but I had way too much fun with level 3

I bought this BK6 3 weeks ago to use purely off road in Norfolk. I have spent this time preparing the Ebike. First added an electronic horn with built in alarm. Lubricated the chain for off road use with dry lube. Inflated the tyres to 40psi. Because some people have experienced the cheap pedals falling apart, I ordered from Japan well renowned metal folding pedals MKS FD-7 £45. These took 2 weeks to arrive and are now fitted. I removed the soft unit from the carrier so I can attach a bag.Yes the ebike is heavy 27.5kg. To fit the bike in my hatchback without folding the rear seats I had remove the saddle, this weighs1.5kg. Next I remove the battery 3kg. Last I remove the front wheel 3.5kg. Now weighs 19.5kg. Waiting now for dry weather.

I do want to change the pedals so thanks for the tip. I am still 2 minds about the folding part, if I travel a lot in the car then this bike is the best and most important legal. I am a professional and breaking the law means putting my job in jeopardy. However I am not used to bike with on top frame and riding this in the wood is fun and effortless but I miss standing up to get through bumpy terrain. I will keep this for this summer and hope we have a lot of dry and sunny weekends. We love Norfolk, been there twice in the past few years, did the tourist driving boat thing at the river. Loved it 😍

There is nothing illegal about this ebike. You can ride it on UK roads as it is only a 250 watt motor. It is restricted to 25kph (15.5 mph). If the motor is 350w or bigger, you must legally register with DVLA for road use.

I cannot say what motor they use in different region but to qualifying as road legal they may just electronic limit the motor and mark it is 250w. By law it is not the motor needs to be 250w it is maximum output not exceeding 250w. I could be wrong tho, I may tinker the menu when I do off road to increase the speed limit of 15mph

No throttle as it does not comply with E-bike rules in the UK. I did get a throttle and plug in to test and it is plug and play working. However, not all brands of throttle works and also the rubber handle is near impossible to take off to make way for the throttle switch

There is only 3 settings, assist off, level 1-2 and 3. If you see P1 to P7 that means you start messing with settings which was not design for end user who don't know the hidden menu. Search S866 and you will find lots of video on setting the menu system. Hope you get it working again.

Does it have power lvl or only speed lvl gears? What I mean is does it just go 25kmh on setting 3 no matter how fast you pedal or do the lvls do different power like 1 is 150w and 2 is 200w and 3 is 250w?
@bobhummell4391
@bobhummell4391 Жыл бұрын
The three power settings determine the speeds. Level 1 is slow, Level 2 is faster, and Level 3 is max speed of approx 15 mph unless you go into the settlings and increase the max speed. Then bike should go 19-20 mph on Level 3. I also own other ebikes and they are faster...Ariel rider, electric xp 2.0, aostirmotor a20. They range in speeds from 25 mph to 32 mph. Generally, using pedals with the throttle should add more speed.

Thanks for the video, I don't know if you can help me. I lent my hitway bk6 bike to a friend, without my consent he removed the speed limit of 25 km/h. the bike now goes 32 km/h. Can you tell me how we reset the limit to 25 km/h? The P08 is 25km/h, but the bike still goes 32km/h. He told me that maybe it's with a combination with the brakes. But he doesn't know anymore.

Hard to say as I do a mix of assist level so far. Really have to stick to just one level and ride until empty. My guess would be level 3 with no effort on pedal around 15-20 miles. Level 2 20-30 miles and level 1 30-40 miles. I am 95kg and lighter rider will get more miles and I believe a lot more as most of the energy is spent at starting the bike from stationary and less weight = less load on motor
