★ ELEGLIDE M2 E-BIKE REVIEW ★

[@volt8684]

Hi Mark, I bought a uk built Volt e bike. I ride with my mates off road and trails on their £4-6k bikes. Sure my bike isn’t as good but I do everything they do. I have not had a breakdown and I don’t really care about how rough I am with it. Bought second hand with 200 miles on for £800. The others bikes have needed dealer fixes and some reconditioned motors. Mine is Bafang rear hub motor. Bafang have been making e bikes 40 yrs. very reliable despite being chinese.

[@markpulling12]

Hi yes Ive got bafang motors on other bikes and like you say they are very reliable good motors ...these e bikes are certainly getting cheaper now ...but still half decent Best wishes mark

I got one of these 2 weeks ago on Amazon with the 29 inch wheels , there was a 10% discount code so only paid £642 which is a remarkable deal. On the latest ones they have also upgraded the battery to 15.6 ah. Easy to build and is a really nice bike for the money, no regrets here.

@@TheMaleforce thanks e bikes have become so affordable now Cheers mark

Did it take long to deliver? And was it all as it should be from amazon?

@markpulling12 cheers really want this bike but very paranoid with buying online , also you know if the screen is waterproof I cycle in all weather conditions to work and back , thanks for getting back to me too👌

[@markpulling12]

@@CC-jo4fu yes the screen is waterproof:)

I got this bike to use for food deliveries in Prague. 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 🙂

[@bradsmith9689]

Looks similar to the self build kits that I use on my Ebikes. The hub motors are very reliable, also just bought some Zerofit clothing after watching your review Mark.

[@markpulling12]

Thanks Brad ...that zerofit gear is very good 😊

Hello which one IS better according to you: the eleglide M1, m1 plus, T1, M2 or DUOTTS C29?

[@markpulling12]

Hi ... easy answer the duotts c29 ...I have one amazing performance Best wishes mark

[@MT-qf7nu]

Was looking at the M1 plus for commuting but might have to spend the extra and get this one this looks nicer aswell

[@martinehulme8743]

I like this, does what it needs to, does it come in other colours ? Great review Mark ❣️

[@markpulling12]

Hi Martine ...no only available in black on this model ...but they have different models in other colours Xx

[@sonickboom1]

I've done so much research to see if the M2 battery would work on M1 and only thing i can't find is M2 battery dimensions, wondering if you could answer my question as eleglide support avoided answering me basically saying buy the m2 if you want better battery 😂 in your opinion do think the M2 battery would work on M1?

[@ConorSantry]

Cheers for the review! Any thoughts on the differences between the M2 and the M1 plus upgraded? Is the M2 worth the extra money? 🤔

[@markpulling12]

Yes the M2 has a bigger battery and hydraulic brakes...id go for that one Best wishes mark

[@ConorSantry]

​@@markpulling12good to know, thanks for the info

[@owen8538]

Any idea if controller is 48v compatible please as that motor normally take 48v really good I used like that in past

[@ianroberts7195]

10 hours is a long time to charge battery as you are supposed to watch it while charging, but great video Mark

[@markpulling12]

Hi Ian the charger is just a 2 A rate so quite low ...you could get a 4 A charger to half the time .... ideally don't leave battery unattended...but you don't have to watch them Cheers mark

[@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?

[@markpulling12]

Hi yes you could definitely get a workout from this ...the gearing is good ... great bike for the price ..just keep it in the lowest power Cheers mark

[@ananthakriishnanilavannoor7361]

Turnoff PAS to zero. It will become a normal Mountain Bike

[@Lord_Ian_of_Sussex]

Solid review, thanks

[@holybutterfly8495]

you have ride a lot of motorbikes but which one is the best one according to you ?

[@markpulling12]

Hi there isn't really a best one so to speak for me as they are all good in there own ways....but triumph Street triple rs 765 and KTM 890 duke are very good as are the ducatis Best wishes mark

[@syedmilad5223]

Could you please clarify how far a single charge will take me? I am wondering about the practical mileage. Thank you!

[@markpulling12]

Hi eco approximately 50 miles Normal and sport about 30 miles Cheers mark

[@MT-qf7nu]

Thats nowhere near the 77 miles (125km] what eliglide claim​@markpulling12
