ENGWE Engine X Review: a FAT Tire Ebike that Finally Abides the Rules?

[@davybloggs1564]

When the display is turned on, press and hold the "+ & -" button at the same time for 3 seconds to enter the setting interface. After releasing the "+ & -" button, press and hold the "+" button for 15 seconds to release the 6km accelerator limit and the 25km/h speed limit." Do the same to reverse the function back to stock.

[@TechMishka]

Thanks for the tip

[@Severinate]

As mentioned on another of your videos. I had an Engwe EP-2. The frame is made from an alloy and is not strong. When you fold the bike, all the weight of the front end is on the back end, just behind the hinge. The soft alloy is not strong enough to support that weight. After riding the bike almost every day, for 2.5 years, mine snapped. These bikes are a death trap waiting to happen. When I contacted Engwe, they apologised, and asked me if I wanted to buy another bike. They claimed they have strengthened their testing, but I haven't seen any specs on the alloy used.

[@TechMishka]

Keep on pushing them! Pretty sure they will eventually do something about it.

[@erhan734]

Did they ask you to buy another bike or replace the older broken one?

[@Severinate]

@@erhan734 buy another..

[@giulianobrammerloo1366]

@@Severinate lol 🙈. how did this all end? you bought another brand?

[@miles-x4u]

This is why I never fold any folding bike over time they snap!

[@simonjohnhinton1938]

Just a word of warning. The bike you tested is prone to snapping and the reason is the brace at the top and bottom of the frame by the the hinge. On the top of your test bike the brace only goes from the seat post to about 3/4 length to the hinge and the same on the underside of the frame. They updated on later models by extending the brace to the hinge on top and the bottom making it stronger. THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW on early models. The same applies to early engine pro models too and EP2 pro I think.

[@TechMishka]

Good catch and thanks a lot for sharing this!

[@Maxhine]

Does this apply to the new model of the ep 2 pro? The latest one they are selling essentially. Because I literally got one just yesterday and even tho I love it what people have been saying on their fb page its quite worrying. Here on yt nobody talks about it.

[@annashealthylifeeverything8583]

the lack of apps and stuff is not a drawback, it's a good thing. I have a question: you didn't test hills. in steep hills if you need to walk with the bike. does it have walking mode to support it's weight. otherwise it's useless in hilly areas

[@TechMishka]

Good point! There is no walking mode as far as I remember.

[@annashealthylifeeverything8583]

@@TechMishka thank you

[@GarethZoeWildcamps]

​@@annashealthylifeeverything8583yes there *is* a walking mode. Select 0 power level, then keep the *-* button pressed in. It then powers the motor at a steady walking pace.

[@manFromPeterborough]

walk mode is useless on hills, the throttle is your best friend

[@williamfrance8047]

Can you bye a second battery

[@TechMishka]

Sure

[@electrifiedlatina6871]

I LOVE your reviews! Excellent work! 👏👏👏👏👏👏🎉 Only wish you out more content! ;)

[@TechMishka]

Thanks for the comment. I also wish I had more time for reviews, but given the preparation and work around each and every one, this is the best I can provide right now. If someone is keen on joining me in the journey to inspect cool tech - reach out via email ☺️

[@True-crime-tales101]

What i really want is range, ability to adjust the throttle as needed, foldable bit more lightweight and under 2k

[@TechMishka]

👍👍

[@Enforcer_WJDE]

I tried to read and understand the german website but couldn't because of the bad google translation. About the twist gas, do i understand it correctly that it is either disabled or only supportrs up to 6kph?

[@TechMishka]

It supports all the way up to 25km/h

[@OfficialToffy]

Very good review! I have been looking at this bike as a replacement for car since i only have 6km each day. But my only concern is my height. Can i ask how tall you are and how good you feel riding in that height? Im 195cm so i have a feeling im too tall for a bike like this. Ty.

[@TechMishka]

I am 188cm.and probably you will be fine with the bike dimensions

[@TheAverageVerdict.]

Which one did you enjoy more and why? Engine X or ado Beast 20f?? Plzzz reply.

[@TechMishka]

I prefer the torque sensor. The Beast wins IMO

[@jorgejorge5542]

Great honest review. I own a Engine Pro, and I can disable the throttle and set the speed limit to 25 km/ hour. So logically, both Engine pro and Engine X are legal or both are not legal.

[@TechMishka]

Yeah, which is pretty cool.

I observed both at my local dealer, and X has a sort of plaque claiming it is compliant to EU something something, and electric engine is marked with "250W" (I'm not sure if you can limit power output in Pro?) As funny as it sounds it could be the one real advantage in case you are stopped for legality checks. You can just point at these as it's not very likely that a policeman will dive deep into settings details. That said Pro has hydraulic brakes. That makes you think should you prefer objectively safer bike betting on not being ever checked, or less safe, but visibly legal. Depending on a probability of such checks in your country you may want to chose less safe... because of the regulation intended to promote safety :)

[@srennielsen4545]

In Denmark the police dont care if you have disabled throttle or set the maxspeed to 25km. It is still not certified to eu/ce standards. Its like building your own bike and mounting a motor. There is still a lot of regulation to get streetlegal.

[@karlosthehawk3730]

So it does have a twist throttle and can be unlocked i seen a video saying it hasn't got a throttle and it's pedal assist only??? Very confusing

[@TechMishka]

Maybe they equip the new batches without a throttle and.may sell it as a separate accessory

[@aymantobail2806]

what is the max weight of persons to use it?

[@TechMishka]

120kg

[@sagargurung395]

Hey what rear suspension does it have. Trying to upgrade mine

[@TechMishka]

It is a very, very basic one...

[@thund3rb0lt63]

The motor is the same as the ep-2, just limited to 25km per hour.. My question is since they measure the power going trough the motor cable here in the Netherlands, won’t the motor still pull 750w up to 25km/h? Cause that would mean it gets impounded here

[@weloverotie2573]

Ja vlm wel maar je hebt zo een eu sticker achter op dus je kan je dr gwn uit lullen

[@thund3rb0lt63]

@@weloverotie2573 word lastig hoor, ze meten met ringmaster hier in Amsterdam vriend van me heeft fietsenwinkel en de ep2s worden echt heel vee in beslag genomen

[@TechMishka]

Hmmm, that I am not sure about, sorry.

[@dtz1000]

It definitely feels like 750w, but it's nice and legal in europe as it has the label on the hub that says it's legal.

[@forcews]

Then impound something from police too like radio or something or just deny impounding. Over excessive bureaucracy is enough already. 750-1000w should be norm hauling cargo not some puny 250w. Laws have to be forced to change that is matching with real world scenarios not some politician law from office who knows nothing.

[@Maferto]

What is the maximum speed? Can it be unlocked with the display screen?

[@dtz1000]

He missed out that important info. Luckily, there is another youtuber called techtronic9000 who answered those questions.

[@TechMishka]

Yes, you can unlock it - mentioned a few times in the video.

[@mrholloway104]

Therein lies the problem, if you can unlock the top speed and enable the throttle then it doesn't comply with UK and EU regulations or so I've been told.

[@Gunner11763]

You can unlock it and it's pretty much a 750w bike after that

[@Enforcer_WJDE]

@@Gunner11763 I doubt it's has a throttled 750W motor. Most unlocked bikes are around 32kph iirc.

[@ADMdj]

Just out of curiosity, anyone tell me does my 48v battery shipped with Engine X unique to my key only?

[@TechMishka]

I don't think it is. There is a number on the key.

[@leePerson62]

Done 900 miles on mine, I have the previous model 750w single suspension. The only MAGER and DEADLY issue I've faced is the breaks. They are truly terrible and caused me to crash once during my travels. They do need adjusting far to often to ensure safety. Apart from that great bike, ridden in all weather conditions very heavy rain and still going.

[@overcorpse]

@@leePerson62 I am playing the one email a day game with Engwe "customer support" trying to send it back. After joining an Engwe owners group on Facebook and reading some of the horror stories some owners are having .There is no way I am keeping it. They have until Tuesday to give me a returns label or I open a dispute with Paypal and my credit card company.

[@TechMishka]

Yeah, sending back 35kg pack is quite expensive...

[@seashoreman]

I am confused white or black🥴

[@TechMishka]

White! ☺️

[@ruudfalun]

Same price for C-20 Pro with extra 19.2 Ah *36V battery. Much lighter and only missing rear suspension compared to Engine X.

[@TechMishka]

Agreed! C20 is lovely!

[@simonjohnhinton1938]

Not as torquey though 48v better than 36v watched a hill climb test throttle only and c20p was beaten.

[@NoMoreLies365]

48v = better.

[@darrellfranklin2074]

Hey im sorry but im going with the fiido m1 bike mike

[@TechMishka]

It also is a lovely one. Check Ado A20F Beast too

[@AC-db4ek]

I think the Engine Pro is the best deal. for only 200 bucks more you get hydraulic brakes, hydraulic suspension fork, 8 gears Shimano Alto, leather handle bar grip, 16Ah LG battery for longer range, anti puncture tires, color display, and not sure if also has regen power when braking. The engine is also 1000w peak and 55 Nm tork. All in all, much better than the Engine X. Coud you review the Engine Pro?

[@magnusalfredson6812]

Yes it is much better, but it is not legal to drive in most European countries. That's the thing.

Just look at the Jobobike Eddy, which is just a better bike overall.

Max Load on the Jobobike is 120Kg, whilst the Engwe is rated at 150Kg - which may be an issue for larger riders.
