★ CYRUSHER RANGER E-BIKE REVIEW ★

[@jamesbarrie2458]

I have the xf650 and I have 400 miles on it, only thing I would say is that it's a big bike and quite heavy, also the tyres are very noisy for road use. As for the hand throttle and power restrictions, they are east to overcome and it's very unlikely that anyone will notice. Electric bikes are great fun I love mine. Great review Mark.

[@markpulling12]

Thanks James ...yes these are great bikes ...the ranger is amazing to ride 👍 Best wishes mark .

[@LoftechUK]

Great video and you live in a great location. I have just got a RV700 Lankeleisi and it’s not far off this design

[@mraidymaddful]

I would like to see how you derestrict it and how it rides with a throttle, like they seem to do everywhere else but backwards Britain. No wonder we are falling behind everywhere else. Great vlog Mark, as concise as ever.....

E-bikes are the same in terms of restrictions all over the European Union. They are limited to 25kph after which the electric motor assist cuts out. You can buy unrestricted ones but they count as an electric motorcycle and will have to be registered etc as would a ice machine.

[@davidbesant]

@@stevetaylor8698 I don't doubt that's true, but in Spain hire bikes seem to be generally unrestricted and are usually throttle operated. It's probably illegal, but that's Spain for you.

[@JudeTheYoutubePoopersubscribe]

I don't know any ebike users that actually use 250w legal ones. My area in south Wales is extremely hilly 250w is absolutely no good unless I want to travel everywhere at 5mph. My 1000w bike does those same hills at 15mph, 20 if I'm helping the motor out as well by pedalling.

[@Certago]

​@@JudeTheKZbinPoopersubscribe I'm using a 250 watt mid drive derestricted ebike, cadence sensor, and I am fed up with it for being so slow. Mind you I am used to riding high powered motorbikes... And don't like being overtaken very much... Changing to the Ranger most likely.

[@reginaldcrudstump383]

Excellent review Mark. I'm seriously tempted with one of these, I think it looks amazing and does seem to be getting good reviews.

[@cloggsy1971]

Seriously considering one of these 👍🏻

[@markpulling12]

Thanks Clive ...they really are great to ride 😁

[@Anonymous-jm3mg]

Thorough review, thanks. I haven't seen what the front and rear suspension travel is. The rear pivot looks beefy as hell, looks good. The front axle dropouts look a little sketchy with the smaller bolts holding the axle in place. Overall, it appears to be very well made and the handling looks impressive, from what I've seen.

[@martinehulme8743]

I like the orange and white 🤍, tell us, did you fall off it 😂. Looks a great bit of kit, pricey though, you didn't say what the weight was except 'heavy', I think I prefer the last ebike you trialed....was wondering how to get one on the ride to work sceem...(can't spell)... My thoughts overall on electric stuff, great for Hoover's , cycles and scooters...not much good for motorbikes 😆 definitely not cars 😜😆 great review Mark as always 👏 x

[@Mikethebike721]

Doubters should try one, e-bikes are amazing and you do get s good workout as Marc said. Good review Marc but when talking about individual fit the distance between the seat post centre and the bars centre is as important as seat height. That body stretch can become very uncomfortable on a long ride if for example your reach is too stretched, sore back and wrists are the result. But they are crazy expensive.

[@markpulling12]

Thanks...I've been e bike converted for years...I got my first e mtb six years ago and people were like oh that's cheating etc ...but now nearly every other bike off road I see is an e bike Best wishes mark

I'm liking this Mark could have some good fun on this one these are going to catch on big time especially if like most things they get cheaper like most things tend too. Interested to know what an unrestricted one would be like ,so do you have to keep peddling then to have the power ? And dose it recharge when going down hill ?👌👍good review .

[@markpulling12]

Hi unrestricted is like night and day Yes you have to keep pedalling but very lightly...no this one doesn't recharge downhill some do like engwe bikes but it's negligible Best wishes mark

[@wolfgangdraxler3177]

Thank you very much indeed! Very helpful! A impressive bike! I will bike it!

[@moonshotsilver]

Nice bike but I think I can make one up much cheaper and to my specs. The more people like you & Dude Stuff etc on KZbin helps give the rest of us the knowledge we need. I'd like to make a sleeper ebike so to most people it looks old and rusty so it's less likely to be targeted by thieves. I couldn't lock this up iny area and except it to be there when I get back.

[@rogerhawe608]

Save yourself £1200 and buy the Shengmilo MX03, I have put 2500 miles on one of these, with just a replacement rear tyre, the front and rear shocks on both these bikes are not up to any serious off-road use, but that's not what they are about, you would go for a mid drive bike with quality components if that's what you want, but for road use with some very light trails, they are very good, but £2600 is too much for such a bike, incidentally the comfort commented on is due to the tyres.

[@markpulling12]

Many thanks Roger....best wishes mark

[@rogerhawe608]

@@markpulling12 I notice the question of derestricting the motor has come up, I get asked this at least once a week, for those interested the bike I refer to the MX03 will do 28 mph without you peddling, using the hand throttle, this is obviously going to get you noticed, restricted it's approx 16 mph, complying with UK law, when you can travel 30 miles, the thing to remember if you want assistance, and particularly if you have hills on your commute, the torque from the motor derestricted will still have you at the top of those hills with very little effort.

[@markpulling12]

@@rogerhawe608 thanks Roger ...is it the same on the mx03 to derestrict...IE disconnect one wire on the speed controller ?

[@JudeTheYoutubePoopersubscribe]

I find ebikes a lot more fun to ride than similar petrol engine vehicles.

[@johnmothtech]

It's been a decade since I was into mountainbiking but I see the manufacturers are still shady even when the bikes are the price of a kidney. Don't get me wrong, it looks nice but for that money they could've put a decent kit on the bike... the rear derailleur is second to worst (last) out of 8 total shimano mtb groupsets (or out of 10 depending if you count Zee and Saint) for that price it should have at least been SLX. When I see things like that it makes me wonder about the quality of that (unbranded?) rear shock, front forks definitely, the brakes, etc. I might be a bit cynical but for 3 grand it is prudent to have a bit of a cynical thorough look at a bike.

[@Den_YouTube_handle_bullshit]

The derailleur is fine for my use. If/when it wears out I'll replace it with something better. They don't cost much. The shock is a DNM

[@18andlikeit]

Most all other of these fat tire ebikes on the market have it way worse with 14t to 32t 7 speed Tourney derailers with 44t chain rings, and the cheaper over the grip thumb shifters. So the 11-32 9 speed Altus with a 52t chain ring is a big improvement over the others in my opinion, but then, the other bikes don't cost as much.

[@_nerox_9833]

Hi, nice Review. I would like to know the travel of the fork and the rear Dämpfer please. Thanks :)

[@simonfaulkner2670]

Great review Mark, dipping my toe in these ebikes and like this one a lot. I've noticed their website says 2 versions, a 250W and 750W motor, I believe the 750 would be illegal for UK roads but how much slower is the 250W in comparison? Thanks Si.

[@markpulling12]

Hi Simon when you order the 250 w version it's ACTUALLY the 750 w motor but just electronically capped with simply one wire on the controller which is inside the frame at the bottom ...it still goes very well in restricted form Best wishes mark

Still pondering one of those whilst making the most of our current rides! Hope we might bump into each other sometime.

[@mobilitest]

I just received mine, indeed the pedaling assistance with the torque sensor is great, but it's such a shame that the throttle grip is clamped at 28mph (32km/h) and that it is impossible to unclamp (disconnecting the wire from the controller and modifying the speed in the settings does not change anything)

[@markpulling12]

Hi that's interesting that your getting 28 mph in throttle...I've read on the Facebook pages everyone is getting 20 mph on throttle alone ...maybe it's different for other countries Personally I'd be happy with 28 mph as it's a big heavy bike Thanks for the comment Mark

Hi Andrew I ride on and off road so I've set mine at 15 psi but that's personal thing ...to set sag get on the bike ..with the blue ring pushed up to the top of the shock ..sit on the bike gently and it should sink about a third of the travel...add air or preload to adjust Cheers mark

It's a great bike but the uk sites only sell 250w motors. Where did you get a 750w from. Ideally I would like a 1000w bike restricted to uk specifications so that I can ride it legally and if I want I have extra power to use if I'm on private land. And even if I never use the extra power it's nice to know it's there if needed. Hope you can help. Thanks!
