Engwe E26: An Honest 500km+ Review

[@martinlb4541]

I have a shengmillo e5 and it’s best fat bike around for the price ! The rear and front suspension are amazing! It’s fast and glides over bumps and pot holes 👍🏻

I'm in Poland and most of my hiking has me on roads. I'm in the market for an e-bike. I appreciate the honest review.

[@OscarHikes]

I'm originally from Latvia and I totally get what you're saying! At some point, it becomes a bit boring to always walk on pretty much the same gravel road through fields/forests 😀 With a bike/ebike it's at least more interesting because you cover much more distance and see more variety of terrain/villages each day. And you're welcome!

@ I planned a route that took me about 25 km. It was like 30 degrees and a majority of that was on a newly paved road with no trees. It was hell. Walking 25 km a day doesn’t really get me anywhere. A bike would help me travel two to three times further (and save my feet)

thanks for the detailed review. Few questions - can you explain the rubber you used on the mud guards? Was it a rubber washer or a piece of rubber you glued on? Also, what do you think about spraying a rubber compound on the bottom of the mud guards before assembly? Also how tall are you so I can gauge the size better?

[@OscarHikes]

I was actually thinking of spraying something similar on the mudguards - the undercoat spray that you spray on the underside of a car in areas where rust is a problem. I'm 1m 85cm tall. And yes, I cut a piece of a washer and stuck it between the two metals with a knife from both sides. It worked like a charm!

Best bike on the market

Great honest review.

[@jbmartin6]

Fat tire bikes in my experience don't even have front suspension forks, they rely on the big tires running at lower pressure to smooth out the ride.

[@martinlb4541]

Shengmillo does and a few others I have looked at 🤔

[@Diego-fd3rb]

I see that your wife have a fido E bike. with one do you think is better?????

[@OscarHikes]

Fiido is higher quality. But I would recommend ENGWE, just becuase it's a better bang for your buck. They're very similar but the ENGWE model is significantly cheaper.

Battery life is very poor on mine im afraid.Less than 20 miles on pedall assist 3 to 5.

[@OscarHikes]

Hmm I don't know - maybe you should test the battery. Mine lasts much longer! But I also try to use my legs as much as I can, especially when going up hill. If you don't do it, the battery drains very quickly

[@GG-ml3vr]

@OscarHikes Thanks for the reply,yeah think im just expecting too much from the battery.ive been riding it unlocked so going everywhere pretty much flat out 20 -26 mph and im a big lump 115 kg.Im gonna reset to factory default today and see how it goes but its kinda addictive flying about isnt it😀
