Honest review. Even the box unpacking was well done. Thanks.

[@MissGoElectric]

Thank you JellyMonster. We hope it is helpful as you look for the best bike for you. Happy riding!

[@sg.5360]

Thanks for another fantastic video! It looked like it was a perfect day for unboxing in the park. I'd love to get one of these e-bikes.

[@MissGoElectric]

We are glad you liked this one! Michigan in the late summer is tough to beat. It is also hard to beat the bang for the buck on this bike.

[@Cartsp70]

Hey 👋🏽 great video, how do I turn on the front light 💡?? 😂 I got mine today it’s ok but the handle bars are way too narrow it feels like scooter 🛴

[@neutron-man]

Great review. I have this bike. The handlebar long neck stem is on backward, they should lean forward.

[@MissGoElectric]

Great tip! We will look into that. This photo does seem to agree. engwe-bikes.com/products/engwe-ep-2-pro-750w-folding-electric-mountain-bike

[@fraserthomson5766]

Oops, I just commented on this, I assume it can go either way, depending on rider stature.

[@Cassiopeee670]

Dans le manuel il est expliqué de le mettre dans le bon sens à cause de La Fourche, je suis désolé mais ce guidon n’est pas réversible, je vous conseille de contacter le constructeur qui vous le confirmera

[@stewy4158]

Thank you for a great review 👍👍 enjoy your ride 👍🌹

[@MissGoElectric]

Thanks, Stewy

[@Yanquetino]

You're now so experienced and knowledgeable with these e-bikes that you could open your own shop, Laycee! I had never heard of a "cruise control" on an e-bike before, but it makes sense. I'm curious to try that. I really like the pannier bag for the rack. I know my wife couldn't handle this bike's design because she needs a step-through. It was probably the camera's field of vision, but I can't believe you didn't hit some of those trees on the trail! Made me wince to watch you snake your way through them!

[@MissGoElectric]

Thank you Mark! We learn more with each review. We regularly decline step-over reviews because we are trying to highlight bikes which serve the widest audience. That is why you see so many step-throughs on MGE. The Engwe price point and versatility of this bike go a long way to making up for some noise, crude welds, and step-over form factor.

[@user-qh6vz6cx8n]

take it ez simp

[@jonathanslim1486]

Thanks for this review. I watched it I was cross shopping alot of folding Ebikes, I currently have 2 but the more the merrier. I ended up going with the Aniioki A7 Pro. Checked all the boxes for me, dual suspension 20ah, hydraulic, 24ah controller stock. It's on order. Anyways I subscribed to your channel you really know your stuff. Keep up the good work.

[@MissGoElectric]

We haven't had experience with the bike you ordered, but those specs are a good start! Thanks for joining us

[@robertford7318]

I liked Your honest review especially about getting on the bike as my wife and I are in our 70s and it wasn’t easy but once you get on it’s great! We bought two of them with $100 off to get an orange one for a total of $1800 for the pair. We just took then on a camping trip. I folded them to get them into my truck because I also had wood in there, but on the way home from the trip, I was able to just keep them assembled and load them in. However, they are very heavy. I took the batteries out when they were folded because they weigh almost 10 lbs ea and that still made the bike over 64 lbs. which is quite heavy, Two people would be easier to load them. And as far as your speedometer being off, are you sure it wasn’t on km instead of mph because ours came out of the box on kilometers per hr and we had to change it. There are some trails that you cannot take this bike on because it’s a Class 3 and I read that this bike is not legal in Great Britain at all because it goes too fast! All in all, we love our bikes and the battery last forever it seems, and we don’t have the one you have from the pro model. Also, now that we’ve been riding it a while, I can put the key in without getting down just by feeling which direction the slot is.

[@MissGoElectric]

You've become one with your bike! Thank you for sharing your experience and for your encouraging words.

[@MikeLuisCozinheiro75]

Great review

[@MissGoElectric]

Thank you for joining us. We hope you will subscribe for more

[@fraserthomson5766]

I have the same. I notice your handlebars are sloping backwards, I installed mine sloping forwards being taller and it's perfect. I definitely recommend upgrading the brake calipers to cable operated hydraulic ones, cheap and easy upgrade to do. :)

[@MissGoElectric]

When we published the video, we added information about the handlebar stem angle in the description. The variability is very nice and it would be super if Engwe would include that in the user manual. Hopefully our description has been helpful. We haven't performed any upgrades on this bike, but we have reviewed several dozen other eBikes. Many of those have hydraulic brakes and we sure do appreciate the extra stopping power. Feel free to watch out other eBike reviews at: emobility.missgoelectric.com and tons of other videos including industry leadership interviews, EV reviews, event coverage, and more at www.missgoelectric.com

[@Bokibole-nl7bi]

@@MissGoElectric no this is incorrect assembly of handlebar!

[@MissGoElectric]

as has been noted in the description since publishing. The handlebar is intentionally reversible offering proximity for those with short arms and distance for those with long arms.@@Bokibole-nl7bi

[@normclemis1221]

Looks like a " you get what you pay for" situation. Good review!

[@MissGoElectric]

You are right Norm. Nothing is free and there are limits to value. Still, we are amazed at what can be had for $1,000.

[@richardswift6523]

Thanks for this amazing video,pls could you tell the right way to charge it?

[@MissGoElectric]

Thanks for watching! Engwe uses the same pack in many of their bikes. They say to plug the charger into the wall first, then into the battery. Here is a video from the manufacturer. kzbin.info/www/bejne/n2O2i3mPgbl6mq8

LOTS more eBike reviews are in the works. Like...DOZENS.

[@mrdsn189]

@@MissGoElectric Woot!!!

[@goldbearbunny4787]

The handle bar post can be loosen off and spin it around it will put more distance between seat and post .all you have to do then is flip the bars around only takes a a few minutes to make a big difference

[@MissGoElectric]

We did make a note of that in the description yesterday and we will do that. Thank you :)

[@steveccarrier]

Is the handlebar stem really meant to be reversible? I would love to get my bars a little closer (and lower?). But, how does it affect the foldability?

[@MissGoElectric]

It is meant to be reversible and has no affect on folding

[@arturpolanin8569]

Well done

Absolutely incredible bike !! Letric is way overrated. My sister and her husband have Letric and they are jealous of my Engwe ep pro.

[@MissGoElectric]

Thank you for sharing and happy riding!

[@rodmorrison47]

My only concern with the EP-2 Pro, given my aging joints during the harsh Scottish winters, is the step-over height. And, wouldn't you know, it takes a woman to notice such a potential deal breaker. Why does nobody else talk about these things? Excellent review, and more to think about.

[@MissGoElectric]

Thank you for joining us

[@webchez69]

Just one comment. You accidentally put the steering up tube backwards, but is was good for you. It is angled closer to you to be able to reach the handle bars easier. The stock way is with the up tube to be angled away from you....

[@MissGoElectric]

Your observation is accurate and that has been noted in the video description since we uploaded it.

[@roostercogburn5005]

Darlin I think you might have put the handle bar on backwards.

[@MissGoElectric]

As noted in the video description.

[@tricolor6184]

Qual a velocidade máxima você conseguiu utilizando apenas o acelerador ??? Obrigado

[@MissGoElectric]

20MPH throttle only

[@johnw65]

Thanks Laycee, A Keyed Switch is Great! Many bikes can be ridden away without a key...I like Engwe folders a lot! Does the price you mention include the battery upgrade? A good seat post suspension might help this bike . Have you tried them?

[@MissGoElectric]

We dig folding eBikes too. The price we list is the standard price. These videos are live for a long time as various deals come and go. We are generally in favor of outfitting eBikes like this with the largest battery a buyer can afford...or snagging a spare if you think you might use it for camping. We use suspension seat posts on a few of our ebikes and have featured them in other videos. We mention them when the bike company offers them as an accessory. Engwe doesn't.

[@johnw65]

@@MissGoElectric Thanks for your reply, Even at 31" inseam I like stepover bikes...

It seems to be a common preference for males.

[@spacegreycoralred]

Are you sure its not reading speed in kilometers?

The display is visible on camera. The unit is miles.

[@Golfblues1798]

How is the bike performance now?

We have not used this eBike since filming the review but we will incorporate it into another segment in July. Subscribe to be notified when that goes live.

[@jimbeanthelegend1982]

did you do a settings guide?

[@MissGoElectric]

We filmed one and it got pushed back in the production queue. Thank you for this reminder. We will add it to the next batch.

@@MissGoElectric nice one I’ve just ordered one so will come in handy 👍

[@madpimp12]

Good steady flow of the bike. But some points of the Bike was pretty much straight forward from what Engwe advertised. The graphics and color of the bike is displayed on the website. If the color or graphics of the bike isn't what you wanted why did you get that color? The set up of the throttle and the settings were a little challenging but I figured it out. I had done weeks of research from other manufactures or companies plus reading tons of reviews before I bought my e bike . You will almost never find a e bike that's perfect for what you pay for it.

[@MissGoElectric]

This eBike was provided by the manufacturer for our brand to review. It was not a chosen purchase. We have produced over 50 eBike reviews. You may see them all at eMobility.missgoelectric.com -Producer Tim

[@richardwills7768]

Based on your evaluation of this rbike, it is just an over complicated fat tire ebike and not very user friendly, plus the key should be on the top of the frame. Thanks for the review...

[@MissGoElectric]

Thanks for watching.

[@ToadallyMemes]

not a bad looking folding bike at all.

[@MissGoElectric]

Super capable

[@beegees21]

22 kph, you probably din't change it to mph. Look carefully at the display. And your stering pole is backwards

[@MissGoElectric]

The position of the reversible stem has been noted in the description since publishing. The display is set to MPH.

[@pedrofernandez8729]

This appears to be a clone of the Lectric XP 2.0. Even the position of the key.

[@MissGoElectric]

They are very competitive with one another it seems. We'll do a folding fat tire eBike head to head comparison video when we get one or two more in the fleet.

[@acerkrt]

I have an Engwe ep2 pro and a Lectric Xp and these bikes are not comparable to one another. The lectric even though it's a 500 watt motor is a real 500 watt motor and Lectric uses quality battery cells do even though my lectric is a 10 ah battery it lasts longer than my 13 ah Engwe. Engwe lies about the 750 watt motor which to be honest feels like a 350 watt nominal with a max of 750 . I also do not like the throttle being set to the pas speeds which makes it not a throttle but a cruise control only. I enjoy the Engwe on flat ground to ride around but I honestly would not purchase another one. Lectric is way more powerful and built stronger. Those 3 thin pipes that connect the frame to the back wheel on Engwe have me worried also. I don't know why they made such an important safety feature so thin . I am 250 pounds and those small thin pipes worry me when hitting a bump or a pot hole .

The stem is reversible. If you want more distance, mount it the other way. That has been noted in the description since this video was first published over a year ago.
