Great review! We bought 2 of these a month ago and we love them. Heavy though, also still big when folded. Although we get both in our Hyundai Tuscan and we can now take these bikes when towing the caravan. The power is amazing and the ride position is good. So far so great!

[@scotthardesty]

Thanks for sharing!

[@wolfe1970]

One thing i love about this ebike, is the wheels, ive had 2 other branded ebikes with the normal spoked wheels, and after a year i noticed my spokes started to break, and no bike shops would touch replacing them as it was a ebike hub, im glad this one has a all in one construction, and was one of the main reasons why i purchased it

[@scotthardesty]

I hadn't thought about that. Good reason!

[@lorinkolk788]

I've been thinking about getting this bike. All the other videos mostly show what it can do at its max. I really learned alot from your video because you used the bike in every setting showing what it can do. Thanks for the great in depth video

Thank you. It’s basically 3 bikes in one.

Please be careful when considering this company. Their customer service is extremely unsatisfactory and my personal experience was quite negative. I was unable to have a broken display replaced even after waiting for almost 8 months.

They have agreed my charger is faulty but have done nothing to replace it except say they sent one also I am trying to proove battery faulty I can only get about 12 miles on a full charge and its getting really hot I think they want me to blow myself up. In under 2 months my list of serious issues is endless. I am in the uk not sure where you are do we have any consumer rights against faulty parts ? or is our money long gone? If nothing else I am going to make sure the whole world knows not to buy their pieces of crap !

[@scotthardesty]

Thanks! I am editing the Engwe Engine Pro 2.0 video right now.

[@Stellar73b]

Agree with you on torque, but there is things they need fix, those default crank shafts are very bad quality, a lot people, myself included lost one pedal just after few weeks of riding cause those threads will be eaten away and then your pedal will just fall to ground one day. Also must mention those fenders, they are awful, making sounds when you drive and a lot of people had accidents with them by fender coming loose and wedging on wheel making biker crash, luckily had no accidents but removed fenders because of noise they make. Also would be nice to have an actual full gas throttle on RIGHT side of handlebars, not thumb one on WRONG side :)

[@scotthardesty]

This is the updated version. they changed how the fender are now, mine do not go down and touch the frame as the old ones did. They also make no noise at all (you would have heard it in the video). I haven't put enough miles on it to experience the crank/pedal issue but I am hoping they had also fixed that with this new mode. Did you know you can replace your thumb throttle for a half twist throttle. I have seen a couple of YT videos on how to do it.

[@fastandyc]

😅 put you pedals on correctly! there's no problems with the threads on the cranks,they are opposite threads!

[@geoffgeoff344]

Thanks for the ride.i liked that you didnt sugar coat the hill tests.i think the softer launch is a good idea over and above too fast a launch.why? The rider is less liable to take chancey take offs and getting killed or injured ,this is not a negative,its a positive, limitations are a benefit in this case.,i think the hill tests are a negative re low initial torque through out the range?bike is tough looking,inspires confidence,fat tyres great for additional ride comfort.less rolling resistance and better torque results in skinnier smoother treaded tyres,less weight carrying capacity and firmer ride,but better performance and better range,and higher speeds .thanks for a great review.

Do you have any advice on maintaining optimum battery life?

[@malik6686]

Nice video and test but the reason why its kicking off slowly is because you are not using the gears correct it should be in number 4 or 5 when you are starting off and then when you hit 10 mph you switch to 6 and you keep doing that until its hitted gear 8 and if you do that you will have a much smoother ride

[@scotthardesty]

I can see how that would be better.

[@jasonmelo9379]

The throttle is on the left? That's crazy

[@scotthardesty]

I am used to it on the left but I believe you can move it to the right if you want.

[@dahmooren]

I have a Vanpowers Manidae; very quick and solid. I originally wanted a foldable, but couldn't stand the styles or ride. However, at the right price and options, this Enguie is intriguing.

[@scotthardesty]

I also have a Vanpowers Manidae, it's been at the bike shop for a couple of months now. The front fork seized and I can't get Vanpowers to send me a new fork. They have asked me to find a fork and put it on and they will pay for it, but we are not able to find a fork that works without replacing the front rim as well. At this point, I just told them to send me a new Manidae. Their customer service is clearly not the greatest as I now have a bike I haven't been able to ride since last year. The bike only has 53 miles on it. I hope you don't have an issue with yours.

[@videosern]

Great review. Confused, 750W and 1000W. ENGWE website just shows a 1000w model. are the 750W the same, peak 1000w?

[@scotthardesty]

Yes. Engwe likes to show the peak power. It's a 750w motor with a peak of 1000w.

[@neilcollier9417]

Hi i noticed you never mentioned the engine pro has battery regeneration, iv seen on other videos works really well, maybe you could do a feature on this?

[@scotthardesty]

I do mentioned it... twice. I talk about how it is not really helpful and doesn't work in my situation. Unless I am riding down a mountain doing over 20mph and applying the brake, it's not going to regenerate at all. Even then, the power it would put back to the battery is not enough to make a difrerence. It's a great idea but it falls way short in reality.

[@neilcollier9417]

Yeah I hear you horses for courses I guess, if we're not doing hills up and down constantly it has very little input, I was impressed on one video I watched the guy go up this mountain and it fully regenerated on the way back down, so guess yes it's an excellent idea to have but not a deciding factor on purchasing, thanks 👍

[@JoeZeffe]

pro review, new subscriber :)

[@scotthardesty]

Awesome, thank you!

[@chaoyizhang2360]

To be honest, I don't like this company. I purchased the same model one year ago, which had a 13 AH battery and a different display that didn't show the accurate percentage of battery. The display always showed a high level between 50% and 100%, and dropped drastically when the battery level was below 50%. This made it difficult for me to estimate the real battery level. Additionally, their customer service is very poor. When my moving company broke the display, I contacted them to get a replacement, but I never received the package. I have been waiting for over 6 months! Overall, the basic specs of the ebike may be great, but it fails to satisfy me.

[@scotthardesty]

I haven't had the chance to see about their customer support as I have not had any issues with either of the Engwe bikes, but it's always good to hear from those who have dealt with it. Sorry to hear about your issues with them and I hope I don't have to use customer support. They did a lot of updates to the new model as you can see and I don't feel like I have had the same issues that you have had so far. They did get beat up a lot about that older version that's why they updated it.

[@alejandrotjada]

I bought the newest version of the engine pro few months ago and I had a problem with the kickstand. After sending some emails with videos and photos about what the problem was, they just told me that I will receive a replacement for the kickstand, and the problem was solved. So yeah maybe I've been lucky with that or the costumer service has change idk. And yes what you mentioned about the percentage of the battery feels the same in the new model

[@Greyalien587]

I had a delayed shipment, got 50 euro coupon..I had some other questions they answered the next day..maybe they invested in support

[@Dee-md5qn]

This company has no customer service period

[@guibull]

Is worth to invest in the EnginePro instead Engine-X , do you think theres too much difference between Engine Power?

[@scotthardesty]

I have never reviewed the Engine-X. Maybe someone will see your comment who is familiar with the Engine X and can answer that question.

[@stephenstetler3324]

I'm shocked that it was still delivering so much assistance at such a low battery level. I've never experienced that in any e-bike brand. Too bad ghost pedaling is my single biggest pet peeve! Awesome review for an awesome e-bike.

I'm considering a folding bike to road trip with. My main bike is great but it is big and heavy

[@scotthardesty]

This one weights 68lbs but it will give you all the performance of your big bike for sure, maybe even more.

[@jacobhall2290]

I'm puzzle as to why you pretty much ignored the regenerative braking feature on this bike. I mean you did mention it but just barely. You could have demonstrated it on that hill that ride up and down multiple times or on the range test you could have turned it on to extend your range whenever you coasted on a slope. Its flat terrain where you live but extremely hilly where I live which is why I'm considering buying this bike. As much hill climbing as I have to do I wanted to know if the regen feature would help out some of that power back on the downhills. I have a 350w class1 ebike already but it barely helps on the steep hills around here. A throttle is not an option on my bike either.

[@scotthardesty]

I personally don't feel you get enough regeneration from the bike to make a valid reason on why someone would purchase it. I also do live in the mountains or someplace where I can coast down a hill for miles just to get a little juice. I did some research before this review and hadn't seen a single review showing that it was a benefit.

[@jacobhall2290]

@scotthardesty The more I looked into it, after writing this post, the more I'm beginning to agree with you. Like it's just a marketing ploy.

Thanks Jim. I like them both. I do like how a cadence sensor is more just a “plug and play” type setting. You know in PAS 3 you are going to go a certain speed. But, with a torque sensor, I feel you are more connected with the bike and can control how fast you go by how hard you pedal. I’m just blessed to have both.

He wasn't pedalling, that's why. When you pedal then it easily gets up any hill.

[@JudeTheYoutubePoopersubscribe]

It's not a motorcycle. You are working with a 1 horsepower motor basically. Add a little human power and it can get up anything.

[@scotthardesty]

@@dtz1000 True, We all know pedaling the bike with PAS would get me up the hill, so I wanted to test it out without pedaling to see if it would make it.

[@dalaipanda4688]

What is your body weight , this can make a difference for riders, obviously a lighter person will be better results and a heavier person get lesser results.

[@scotthardesty]

yeah, I have done a ton of reviews and I sometimes forget to mention this. I am 5'9" and weight 225lbs. add another 18 bag and equipment.

[@ryanreeves70]

Fw11 and victrip both will double the battery size 32 amp vs this 16amp for same price $1400

[@scotthardesty]

That sounds awesome.

[@anooptho4u]

Any one from uk bought this?

[@scotthardesty]

There are some reddit group and Engwe FB groups that might be able to answer your questions.

[@davidhefner5668]

I don't like the throttle on the left.

[@scotthardesty]

I am used to it on the left but I believe you can move it to the right if you want.

[@romjaheim01]

I'm sorry that has to be the dumbest location for a key to be for that bike like really undernet where you can't see it

[@scotthardesty]

At first would check it to keep seeing if it would fall out. It didn't.

[@RutgerJonaker]

its actually 80NM not 55NM as you said

[@scotthardesty]

Actually it is not. I saw other reviews where it said 80Nm. and in the notes they sent me said it was 55Nm.. so I reached back out to Engwe and they CONFIRMED that its only 55Nm. Even their website says its 55Nm. They also asked me who is saying its 80Nm and wanted me to send the links to the videos.

[@RutgerJonaker]

@@scotthardesty Wonder how of you KZbinrs are right. This guy also claims he talked to Engwe and got that Engwe Pro has 80nm nd the EP 2 pro has 55. Some differences must it be if this video is real kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5LToImqjrV9prs

[@scotthardesty]

@@RutgerJonaker Check Engwe's website, they say the Engine Pro only has 55Nm. Not sure what these other guys do or say but I know I am right. Also, if the Engine Pro had 80Nm of torque, it would have had no issues during my hill test.

[@fredkitemuchmore7920]

Super transportation

[@scotthardesty]

I was surprised by it for sure.

[@RAZORWlND]

Do you really think in China where they design and manufacture most of these e bikes, had someone like Yau Ming come in and test the 6 foot 9 inches over limit for height?... So they had a 6'8" guy say its an "ALL GO" and a 6'9"+ guy like nope "NOGO" bikes too small for me lol. These height ranges just are too funny. Most guys around 6'4" say its pushing limits..6'8".. No Way..

[@scotthardesty]

I totally understand. hahaha. 6'9" would be pushing it for sure.

[@Taduuuu]

You got turf grass? lol

[@scotthardesty]

Sure do. We used to have 4 dogs that trashed out the back yard. Hard to grow grass when their urine kept it brown. Now it looks amazing all year long.

[@Taduuuu]

@@scotthardesty it looks nice tough . I think grass should be abolished lol

[@scotthardesty]

@@Taduuuu I still hand to mow the small front yard which always looks terrible.

[@chriskautz3245]

I prefer honest ( not paid for /sponsered ) reviews .. Of course it gets high praises , It's sales gimmick . meanwhile in the real world . So many problems with the bike and even worse customer services . Would I purchase another Engwe bike ? . Hell no . I would sooner pay more and get a decent bike with proper customer services

[@grumpygrandpa3640]

Spot on the money all these freebie vids are the same it’s the best thing sliced bread ! Come on let’s be real no reviewer getting free hand outs is going to bite the hand that feeds them

[@scotthardesty]

I can only go off what I know. When I reviewed this bike, this is what I found good with it. Now.... If I would have kept it and put 1k miles on it, that might be a different story. I have no issue saying what sucks about a bike. You should see the Engwe X26 video.

[@scotthardesty]

Sounds like you should start doing "honest" reviews. If I would have had an issue with this bike I would have said it and shown it on film. You should see the issues I had with the Engwe X26. The bike performed excellent... now, if I put 1k miles on it, then I am sure this review would be different, but I can only give an "honest" view at the time of reviewing the bike.

[@grumpygrandpa3640]

@@scotthardesty true but giving a review after what 10 miles isn’t really a challenge! Might as well just take it out the box and say yep it’s great sorry but like all these freebie KZbinrs the reviews all suck and are just utter crap personally I wouldn’t even trust anything they state

[@scotthardesty]

@@grumpygrandpa3640 Sorry man. Don't have time to own a bike for a year before review it. Like I said... maybe you should be doing reviews. Thanks for watching!

[@dereklmcguire]

It is a motorcycle , not a bicycle

hahahaha. Okay.

[@recalcitrantjingo4869]

@@scotthardesty he is correct motors are electric !

[@scotthardesty]

@@recalcitrantjingo4869 Sure.

[@tk9839]

This bike's a rip-off for $1400 and only 55nm of torque, might as well be a 500W motor...you can get a dual suspension 1000W motor with about 75-90nm of torque for less than a grand now.

[@scotthardesty]

Thanks for watching and your input.

[@akken2112]

Almost 1500 bucks for a folding ebike that only has 55Nm of torque and a charger that's

[@scotthardesty]

Fair enough!

[@fosge]

my 2023 version has Shimano Altus gears...oh my factory charger is 3A and the charging time is just over four hours... 

[@scotthardesty]

Looks like they come with different parts.

[@ryanreeves70]

A free $1400 bike sent to you to post a positive video

[@scotthardesty]

Clearly you haven’t seen my review of the X26 I mentioned in this video

[@DavenHiskey]

Got mine for $1115 ask me how because Im going to bed..answer you later🦋

[@scotthardesty]

Solid win. Although, I am not going to ask you how.

[@DavenHiskey]

@@scotthardesty And i sir am far too lazy

[@ed0078]

Done with Chinese made bikes. Break down all the time this why we don’t see followup reviews

[@scotthardesty]

I totally understand. Unfortunately, I have too many bikes to ride them all a ton of miles to see if they will fall apart. I had someone who wanted to buy this from me, but before I sold it to them, I did put it on a mtb trail to see if would survive.

[@tiptoe531]

Ignore the women below who’s negatively commenting about Chinese bikes on multiple video threads? She says the same same thing in each thread. She’s obviously nuts or has a hidden engender.

[@scotthardesty]

You gotta take the good with the bad.

[@Dee-md5qn]

I have this bike ,an absolute heap of s####, no warranty, no customer service at all, beware buyer ! Do not go near this company

[@scotthardesty]

Interesting. The only time I had an issue with this bike, I reached out to customer support and they got me the part I needed. Seemed pretty easy to me. Since then, this bike has been riding like a champ and given no issues.

[@richardwills7768]

Just another fat tire bike....

[@scotthardesty]

Yup. They have their place on the streets.
