Samebike XWXL09 Review (folding, fat-tire, ebike)

[@TheArelem]

Wow, this is the best review of this model that I could find. I have bought it cause for the peice of this bike it has been the best that I could find. Thanks for the video!

[@rich566]

No problem. Glad you liked it!

[@chrissinclair8705]

I had an S830 display before. If it's unlocked, hit + and - together until it enters programing mode. You'll see a "P01" at the bottom. Go to "P08" and crack the number to 50Km/h or higher, then do a speed test...

great video man! great review! best one i could find for this model!

[@rich566]

Glad you liked it.

[@SAMEBIKE-Official-Website]

Yes samebike XWLX09 is a very good electric bike

[@rich566]

Yes it's a fun bike. It just needs more power.

[@rich566]

@Untold they claim it is 750w. But I don't think it is. It's very underpowered.

[@rich566]

@Untold the pushing power is OK. But the top speed is low.

[@kilroy314]

Mann you should see how i have modified mine. Btw excellent review!!

[@rich566]

Thanks! What did you do to yours?

[@mattchriss645]

squeeky brake pads.. like a car with brake discs they get dry so it would help if you take the pads out and apply some copper grease to the back of the pads where the little pistons push against the pad and that should stop the squeeke issue.

[@rich566]

The breaks have been squeaking since day one. Maybe I'll try your idea.

[@deeznutz8320]

@@rich566 I have the same issue especially when it has rained.

[@Coweyes2069........]

Mate go into your menu setting and go to P14 and put it on 20 then go to P7 and put it on 100 then go to P18 and put that on 120.I bet you will get more performance out of it....Do a video to show me if I am right.. I own 4 e bikes myself... 3 are 750w one 250w.....

[@rich566]

Thanks for the advice. I'll try that out as soon as I get a chance.

[@bartleyn8268]

not possible to change P14 to 20 ...

[@danoriordan77]

Hi Rich - good review, thanks - am considering buying this as I was in a store today where the staff were singing it's praises - question - would you buy it if you were using it on hills frequently. I've a daily commute of about 30km in and out but there is a bit hill in the middle, about 1.5 to 2km climb each way, reasonably steep? thanks

[@rich566]

Do you mostly pedal during your commute or do you plan on primarily using the throttle? If you will be pedaling up the hill using pedal assist then you will be fine. However, if you only use the throttle, then there will be issues. The bike does not like hills, it lacks the power to ascend steep hills and will bog down. I hope this helps.

[@Desperoro]

Very nice review thank you. I am concidering that bike because we have summer house in deep valley without car access, it is quite steep, but this bike should handle it

[@normanwray1341]

Hello friend good so enjoy your bike riding 😮😅

[@rich566]

@@frankiebraiden9174 honestly I'm not sure. I haven't researched other ebikes since I bought this one. I'm still riding it with no issues.

[@craiglevely4428]

I have this same bike and can only get max 32kph out of it. Is there no way to get this bike faster? I had thought that at 750w it could do a bit better.

[@rich566]

No, the top speed is 32kph. It cannot go any faster. Believe me, I've tried everything. I actually don't believe the motor is 750w. I think maybe it can peak at 750 but it's nominal power is much less.

[@tylerhamilton-nz8qs]

@@rich566 got to be 500w motor for sure! One positive thing though the range is quite good

[@Anglo-Brit]

Hey Rich - Great review btw, but I have question, why are there two versions of the bike, be it the XWXL09 and XWLX09, is one better than the other? They are showing different torque rating on sites but they are not sold on the same site, its either one or the other. Talk about confusing as hell.

[@rich566]

Yes it's very confusing and I don't know the difference. The one I purchased from their site is listed as xwxl09. But the bike I got has xwlx09 printed on the side of it. It's a mystery. Maybe the site has a typo. There are many typos on the site, so it's possible.

[@rich566]

@Untold nice, I'm glad you like it.

[@jasonstab6453]

I'd be interested in you trying something for me. I have the same bike and due to a silly rookie error, set the key in the wrong position and lost it during some off road riding. So my question is, have you tried using the bike with no key, as I've been told by the supplier that the key is only to lock the battery even though it has another position to lock the key in. I think that I'm being feed some crap and that the battery is faulty, but would appreciate some input from a fellow rider. Apart from the key issue, the bike is great especially off road, great fun. Great vid also

[@rich566]

Hi, my bike will not turn on unless the key is in it. Basically the bike only works with the key. Are you saying that your bike works fine with no key? What is happening with your battery?

[@jasonstab6453]

@@rich566, I can basically slide the battery in, lock the frame and go, no need to even lock the battery in place. There's obviously an issue with lock and I have power all of the time, so I'll go back to the supplier. Thanks for helping out. Two points on your vid, the bike will handle 180kg/330lb, so that would explain the weight and I've bought folding pedals so I don't have that smaller pressure point when lying it in the car. Great informative vid, thanks for posting and helping out

[@rich566]

@@jasonstab6453 no problem. Happy to help. Quick question, do you feel like the bike is underpowered for an alleged 750w motor? On most days I can barely hit 28kph. Is yours as slow as mine?

[@jasonstab6453]

@@rich566, I'm in Australia and we have the 500w motor and the speed is set at 25km/h, but it does feel like it wants to go faster. After watching your vid, I've reset the speed limit and after giving it a go with the rear wheel off the ground it topped out at 40, so I'm looking forward to getting out over the weekend and see what it goes like now

[@rich566]

@@jasonstab6453 ok. Well let me know how it goes.

[@MrTitleist]

Would you go for this samebike or the engwe ep2 pro? I’m not sure which to go for and need a little advice please.

[@rich566]

Well it seems like the ep2 pro is a much faster bike. I've seen videos of people easily going above 40km/h (25mph) whereas the samebike is very slow and underpowered. I guess it's a personal choice. Based on the speed alone I'd probably go with the engwe.

[@MrTitleist]

@@rich566 thanks for the reply Rich.

[@MrTitleist]

Hi Rich in the end I got this samebike, absolutely love it and agree with all u said in the review. Will definitely be changing the seat though.

[@rich566]

@MrTaylormade59 yes the stock seat definitely needs to be changed. I'm happy you like the bike. I still ride mine all the time, i have well over 1k kilometers on it and it still runs great.

Is the left brake lever for the rear or front brake?

The left brake lever is for the rear brake.

[@jojodancer7645]

Motor losses at miles 28, 75, and 158. Ive had it for only 2 1/2 years and their customer service is nonexistent The only good thing is the battery, it sat for half a summer and a whole winter in the cold and only lost 2% charge. Now all I can hope for is to dump it for parts.... BTW, Are ya looking for some spare part??? 😄
