Hold out for the new L20 Boost if you can.

hey mate, great video. Just had my first ride on new E26; can't unlock speed restrictions in mode 6 on computer? Any advice?

[@GG-ml3vr]

Hold plus and minus for 3 seconds then plus for 15 seconds,this was the only thing that worked on mine but throttle only seems to go to 20mph🤷‍♂️ not perfect but far better than it was.

[@toby2524]

Just wanted to say thank you for being customer first company second not just in this video but the many company reviews before talking about the fake reviews/poor warrenty support and just overall being transparent its very much lacking and the fact you enforce the E26 is a big reason finally upgraded my fido d3 pro my e26 is due to arrive on Tuesday but yeah more than happy to send over some beer money if you have a paypay link for the servive you do!

@@toby2524 to be fair I do this to get people on e-bikes buddy … if I did it for the money I couldn’t afford an ebike. 😂 Genuine big thanks for your post though … enjoy the bike. It’s a belter.

[@toby2524]

Just assembled the thing and it is huge in person! Seems I can't enable the throttle or I lock the speed through the p settings though I did email engwe as I think this is a new firmware but you may have the new p settings document or know how to both unlock speed/thorttle on this UK model @@ModProjects4306

[@toby2524]

​@@ModProjects4306 oh I tried to leave a comment but seems to be deleted il try again just got the e26 and assembled it but this version is speed locked and throttle locked on the p settings it won't go above 25kph for example or lower do you have the new p settings guide I did email engwe but suspect they won't get back for a while cheers

@@toby2524 think it’s P6 and set the speed limit as high as it will go. You may have the Euro locked version.

@@ModProjects4306 i found a youtube comment they have new models which you have to go into p settings and hold plus for about 15 seconds just a heads up as this was very hard to find online!

[@This1sEngland]

Another good honest review. Tyre pressure for my 12 stone is 12psi front and 14 psi back. I travel 95% on bridleways in county Durham. I need the tyre to slightly deform to the terrain, This will even help with forward propulsion as the tyre gets just past the 180 over a ground object instantly returning to it's round shape giving pushing power with no bouncing meaning wheels are always on the ground. On tarmac both tyres are fully round and I am losing no range as if I had them at 20psi. A mate of mine is around 17 stone and is using 9psi front and 10psi back on the same routes as I ride. Have an experiment with PSI's and maybe do a video on it with comparison results would make for an interesting video.

Great video Mate, Just subscribed, Been looking at these I am 5ft 8in 66 year's not Nacked but not fit not big build, Do you think it will be alright for me, There's another one l am interested in from a company called ersin unrestricted bike's in Kent looks top quality but £2000 , And does it come restricted and you have to unrestricted it your self. Many thanks.

@ModProjects4306 Thank you for the reply mate, I saw on one of your other comments someone was struggling to unrestricted it and you said it maybe the locked version or something how do you know your getting the one what you can unlock, Cheers again friend.

Really like this bike and colour what's the riding stance are you sat up like engwe x or more lent forward? Great video 👍

How good are engwe bikes for reliability as im looking for a ebike for commuting 20mile round trip?

[@ModProjects4306]

@@tonymarshall4932 Engwe used to be terrible for ebike reliability but that’s come on leaps and bounds over the last 18 months. Trust me, nobody has been harder on Engwe than me. This bike is bike is built like a tank and if you weigh in at around 200lb you’ll easily see 35 miles +.

[@RaymoReaper]

I'm a big guy myself and that seat post is my only concern. Engwe should focus more on this type of bike and not the big foldable bikes. Also this bike is advertised as a 250w. It's really a 750 right?

[@ModProjects4306]

Swapping the seat post out for something like the Suntour one isn’t expensive. Problem with Engwe is that they’re tied by budget constraints for all demographics to offer these bikes at such low prices. This is still an absolutely brilliant bike for the money … it truly is. £55 for a better suspension seat post isn’t that expensive when you look at it that way. Plus I think my discount code gives you a further 6% off the price.

[@Poseidon6363]

I have a E26, how do you tension the seat post?

[@ModProjects4306]

There’s a hex head fastener in the bottom of the seat post tube.
