I LOVE this Ebike... but Cars Don’t! - WHY? DYU King 750 Review

I LOVE this Ebike... but Cars Don’t! - WHY? DYU King 750 Review
This is the DYU King 750 - a fantastic 750 watt fat tyre ebike with great spec - hydraulic brakes, torque sensor, huge battery and great range and a nice top speed. But why don’t cars seem to like this electric bike? With it's large frame and 26 inch fat tyres I would think this electric bike would be very noticeable but maybe it was just an 'unlucky' day.
Let us know your thoughts. Would you ride this e-bike? Do you think it was just bad luck on the day? Let’s find out.

I always wear a bright colour top or jacket or yellow vest when riding, It's amazing how a cyclist can vanish in the shade of a roadside tree from a car drivers perspective, be seen be safe. Cyclists wearing all black are a danger to themselves and other road users. Bright colours on the crash helmet help too. Great channel.

Perfect camo, carry a donor card. Predominantly matt black, grey sky coloured top, even the white trainers similate white lines and deceptive speed.

Riding on pavement or asphalt pretty much all the time you would get better range if you opted for the 3 in semi fat tires with Road tread as they still offer a lot of stability and augment its suspension but aren't as unstable and impact-resistant as the skinny road tires on racing bikes and I really like that approach 4 Hard Road commutes and I'm hoping it catches on with all the manufacturers because I only know of one eBike company that does that and now they're doing a mid Drive so that may be my next bike

Need a hi-vis jacket ideally. I used to have a bright yellow waterproof a reflective band and lights on the handle bars and reglective strips on the gloves. Youve got to be visible on the bike.

[@simplexicated]

Bit of speed and you're in trouble, even riding a normal bike at high speed on flats can lead to drivers totally under estimating your speed and trying to pull out. The expectation of a lot of drivers is every person on the road using a bicycle is moving at 8mph.

Great vid as always, what clamp are you using for your insta360?

Cheers! I use a few things. A Ulanzi super clamp - it's not good enough to keep it up. So I got another one and attached it to another grippy hand so it's double sided. I attach one side to the selfie stick and the other end to somewhere else on the bike to hold up the stick.

They do get you up hills but you also need to put in a decent amount of your own effort. I'd say actual 250w bikes remove 70% of the effort required if you didn't have a motor at all.

Just seen this posted by the local council (Cardiff council on Facebook with pictures of the police stopping people and a lorry full of confiscated bikes) "A new operation has been launched to tackle the problems of illegal e-bikes in the city centre. 17 illegal e-bikes were seized. Capable of reaching 35 -40 mph, they are classed as motor bikes and require a licence and insurance. Working with South Wales Police Cardiff, our City Centre Warden team joined forces to crackdown on the use of these illegal bikes yesterday. Great partnership working. #OpCastor #CityCentreNPT #Cardiff #WorkingForCardiff #OurCityCardiff #OnePlanetCardiff "

[@edtuckerartist]

Googled the fastest legal motorbike that can be used on UK roads and it's the MTT Turbine Superbike Y2K - 250 Mph. (ofc 250 is well above the top speed legal on UK roads) So tax, insurance, licence aside why are motorbikes not limited in speed like e-bikes?

[@contessa.adella]

You could theoretically fit the required additional equipment any get it registered as a moped. HOWEVER, not only would getting it insured be difficult, but the premium of likely £300+ takes it well out of the fun on nice summer days, recreational use category. Who is happy to pay 30 per month for a cycle you might use occasionally??? The green lobby in London, thinks this is ok to pay, since they expect it to replace your car…Well it is NOT ok, and I am not trading my car for an e-bike…We should have both if we want!

@@edtuckerartist precisely because you have passed a competency test and have insurance…Just like a car.

[@nordboya1656]

Whether you can or not depends on the model of ebike you have. Google "how to unlimit the speed of my -insert exact brand and model of your ebike-?" and if its possible you should get hits. Some manufacturers post this information themselves on their websites. For example I think Engwe have instructions on their site which apply to their specific bikes. If you do unrestrict your ebike then please ride safely, wear hi-vis and a helmet and don't go over 20mph on the roads would be my advice.

[@contessa.adella]

The Cyrusher XF800 has the same spec and performance. 750w and 80NM torque….I did have to adjust the wheel size in the computer a more accurate 28” which dropped the displayed speed to an accurate 27 mph on the flat. Then I set the speed cut out to the legal limit of 15.5 mph. However, it is still technically illegal on the road…so I’ve chickened out and not used it after the first 200 miles because the fines can add up to £5000 and six Licence points. Since I’m overweight and getting old, and we have some hills…a 250w bike is totally of no use to me. The law has effectively stopped me cycling at all.

[@JudeTheYoutubePoopersubscribe]

You ain't gonna get stopped on it man. And if they tested it and saw it stopped at 15mph then you'd have no problems.

[@evrctech8217]

Yeah if your speed cuts at 15.5 then yes the bike is still technically illegal but there's about 0.01% chance you get stopped on it. It would take a very angry PC to punish you over it if they did stop you.

[@imperialsecuritybureau6037]

But how are the police supposed to ascertain whether it has the legal speed limit baked in? Maybe just put a sticker on lol, I can’t imagine they’d have a way of testing that…

You are illegally riding an unregistered and uninsured moped on the highway without the correct head protection. You could have your drivers license endorsed or be banned from driving for this. It would be better for society if you were sanctioned before you have an accident and injure someone or worse with no insurance cover for compensation. This model of e-bike is sold exclusively for use on private roads or off road. Be a responsible grown up and don’t encourage others to follow your bad example.

This bike is illegal on UK public roads. www.gov.uk/electric-bike-rules What counts as an EAPC? An EAPC must have pedals that can be used to propel it. It must show either: the power output the manufacturer of the motor It must also show either: the battery’s voltage the maximum speed of the bike Its electric motor: must have a maximum power output of 250 watts should not be able to propel the bike when it’s travelling more than 15.5mph An EAPC can have more than 2 wheels (for example, a tricycle).

So the only people who benefit are fitties who don’t need a powered cycle. Fat, old, unfit, damaged people who can’t peddle any sense and who have hills to contend with are wasting their money on 250w lame epacs. The law has taken cycling out of the reach of a great many who could enjoy getting out, but need a much bigger motor to climb gradients and Throttle to maintain motion.
