Eleglide M2 electric bike review

[@GM-ri5of]

Hello, thank you for Your review. What about the Steep slopes? How dors the bile behaves there. And for YOUR usage, how many km do you do with a simple charge

[@VRMinde]

I probably cannot answer these questions... Denmark has few very steep slopes as it is a flat country overall. And where I was cycling uphill - with me pedaling I am doing 30kmh or so so it works fine... And the range really depends on how much you will pedal. I am not afraid at all to go for a 60km trip and maintain 30kmh over the whole trip, but I am putting effort into pedaling myself for sure.

Hi just wondering if you now how to unlock the speed from 15 mph to full unrestricted, cheers

[@VRMinde]

uh I can't remember now, but I think you had to hold two buttons (probably + and -) after you turn the bike on, it will open some parameter menu and one of the parameters was max speed. I hope I remember it correct

[@magnump.i6906]

Thanks for the reply, I'll give it a go 👍

Is it waterproof, does it have a good warranty?

[@VRMinde]

I was riding it in the rain multiple times no problem. And I use daily another eleglide bike that is actually stored not under the roof. More than a year stored under rain and no problems. Did not have to deal with any warranty issues so I don't know.

[@PragueEats]

I bought this bike to do some shorter food delivery shifts. I consider it an upgrade from my 20 Euro marketplace bike :D

[@VRMinde]

How does it perform for such “professional” use? :)

[@PragueEats]

@@VRMinde i’ll let you know after this weekend 😉

[@PragueEats]

@@VRMinde Overall I’m happy after the first use. The only 2 negatives I would say would be the gears aren’t perfect and will need some adjustments. Also, the tires aren’t the best and I was skidding all over the place on the cobblestone but knowing that I can be more aware next time. Overall happy. If something changes I’ll be sure to update 🙂

[@PragueEats]

61km of range on the first charge

[@VRMinde]

@@PragueEats Is that enough for your work?

[@raziel0729]

Hi, I have a question. From what i've seen in your review and in other videos about this bike, there is a lot of "ghost pedaling" with this bike. I'm interested in buying it but the thing is, i want to exercise from time to time too, not just "pretend" like i'm pedaling, you know what i mean? So i want to ask, could I get a little bit of leg workout with this bike if i am to set the assist level to 1? And then play with the gears a little bit so that i can actually feel like i'm pedaling like on a non electric bike. Or is it simply not possible with this bike?

[@VRMinde]

Hi. Think about the levels as “max speed” to which the bike assists you. I can’t remember now the exact numbers, but let’s say you set it to level 1 - the bike will go almost full power until it reaches 15km/h and will try to maintain the speed not lower than 15km/h: if you pedal to higher speed - you are completely “on your ownn”, you get no assist above 15kmh. Set it to speed 2 - same story but 20kmh, etc. For me it actually works and I get shit ton of workout as I set it to 30kmh and always trht to go more than that myself. If there is a wind gust - bike helps me a bit. Did I manage to explain? :)

[@raziel0729]

@@VRMinde Yep, understood. It appears that assist level one will maintain the speed up to 12km/h (checked on their website). So once i reach 12 km/h then i'm on my own, but at the same time it still doesn't feel like an non electric bike since you still feel a little bit of assistance from the motor which maintains your speed to at least 12km/h right? Sorry for the noob-ish questions, never rode an electric bike before :D. I'm trying to find out more about how it works and compare it to low budget ebikes from Decathlon like Riverside 520 E and Rockrider E-ST500. You should review them! :D

[@VRMinde]

Right, above 12kmh you will be responsible for all the speed :) When you get to 11.8 or so it will start helping you again. Never tried Decathlon bikes, maybe I should :) However, on more high-end bikes there is way more adjustments you can do. On my DIY mountainbike it senses how much force do I apply to the pedals and I can adjust the assist I need based on that. I can also limit the wats of the assist- so it is no longer based on speed. I can set "give me extra 100W all the time I am pedalling" or 200w or whatever, despite of the speed I am riding at. I like this more than the setup on the bike we are talking about. At the same time, as I said, I am getting both a good speed and enough of workout. I am not using it as a moped :) I do a lot of pedalling.

[@raziel0729]

@@VRMinde Ah that's awesome, thanks bro. Well one of the ebikes from Decathlon (the Rockrider E-ST 500) is a mid drive bike. I think this is what you mean by how the bike "senses how much force you apply". You should really check it out and maybe do a review. I think it's probably the cheapest mid-drive ebike on the market. Also, the other bike, the Riverside 520 E has a hub motor but a torque sensor! So i think this one also senses how much force you apply.

[@davidhorsman-j5k]

Hi again, I can't decide whether to buy an M2 or a T1mtb, which would you choose if you're 195cm ? Thanks for your help.

[@VRMinde]

I do not remember now on mtb, but m2 is great for me at 191 and with 195 you should be good as well

[@shahan1465]

You can get m1 plus 29”. T1 has upright position while M2 is more aggressive siting positions

[@syedmilad5223]

Hello! I would like to know the battery capacity for a single charge and how far it can go on that charge.

[@VRMinde]

Hi, it is 15ah battery. The range will depend on how much do you pedal and what speeds do you go :) I never know how to answer the range on electric bikes as you can turn of the battery and cycle forewer 😅

[@HenryReese]

NEW: my bike just arrived yesterday, 3.5.24, at my French address and they have just upgraded their batteries to: "36V 15.6Ah = 561.6Wh and "Max. Range 130km" (citation of Eleglide notice paper in yesterdays parcel) - Rgds HCR

[@redmon4019]

Hello, just wondering, does the m2 have a full electric throttle?

[@VRMinde]

Yes it does :)

[@davidhorsman-j5k]

Is this bike useable for people over 6 feet tall. Cheers

[@VRMinde]

This one yes :) I think up to 2m (6.56 feet)

[@modziutki2686]

Do you know how to change driving modes? Because the boost works only at start and then it doesnt work anymore

[@VRMinde]

Normally it works until it reaches the pre-set speed. You can adjust the speed modes with the button up and down 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@GeorgeCristianNeagoe]

For delivery what is good ?? T1 or M2 ??

[@VRMinde]

Don’t know man, never worked for delivery 🙄

[@nairobicodm640]

I have a question before I buy this , on pure electric mode, do you have to pedal at all

[@VRMinde]

No, if you install the twist throttle you can use it as a moped

[@ashmoh5483]

Hi, is it possible to get the parts for this?

[@Shahidkhan.it90]

Is the battery of this e-bike water proof during rain?

[@VRMinde]

yes, rain cannot damage it. Do not submerge it under the water though :D

[@tt_pp_kitos_xd2897]

I want to know how fast do 30 km/h feels like slow,moderate or idk and I wanna knoe how fast does it get acceleration

[@VRMinde]

I do not know how to measure that mate :) It depends. Do you pedal? How heavy you are etc. I do not know how to answer.

[@Lieutenant.daan.70]

24mph

[@iamyourfuture808]

How tall are you dude?

[@VRMinde]

191cm or 6’1
