Nice looking bike. I love the belt drive and hub gear combination, and am amazed that it isn't more common.

@Techtablets 9 ай бұрын

Yes we need more of them and I think we are going to see more models with year with the 3 speed rear hub.

@@lafamillecarrington Hi. How are the Enviolo hub gears performing? Thank you 🙂

I am happy to see B tier Chinese manufacturers producing serious competition for the Europe market finally! Impressive commuter solution. Belt drive Bafang is top notch, Tektro is fine and battery is easily replaceable. Rack looks good as well. This 3 speed "automatic" gearing seems like a NO GO for trekking- but i guess you have to cut corners somewhere to get to this price point. Hopefully there will be more competition in the belt drive solutions. Very exciting stuff!!!!

It's good to see them really step up with this P275 Pro and the ST model if people want step-thru and gears. The 3 speed hub is different I would prefer manual control of the 3 gears but it's certainly better than the single speed and belt every other brand seems to use. Both climbing and top speed is better with those 3 gears.

@ajacks1349 10 ай бұрын

Yes, but the BIG problem for many is the lack of support & warranty, which explains why they were cheaper. Doesn't make any sense to introduce more expensive models TILL they get those issues sorted.

@Techtablets 10 ай бұрын

For sure focus on great support first that matches the price.

Where is the brake test mate? I wanted to see if you triggered the dogs again 🤣

@Techtablets 10 ай бұрын

Oh I seems I accidently left that one. But it brakes really well before the other pillar in my test so above average brakes and yes it did set the dogs off!

Does it have regenerative braking?

@tonypaddler 5 ай бұрын

@@MrManningata Hi. Ebikes don't have regenerative braking. It's technically possible to have it, like on electric forklift trucks, but with the relatively light weight of an Ebike it would introduce too much drag on the motor for unassisted pedalling, and your legs wouldn't appreciate it 🙂

@tonypaddler 5 ай бұрын

Hi, great review. Thanks 🙂 If you turned off the motor and cycled along on a flat road, would you feel much resistance from the motor? Cheers 👍

@Techtablets 5 ай бұрын

Yes you do feel a bit of resistance it’s not free wheeling or completely disengaged. It’s not bad however not the worse I’ve tested.

@jopaakki 10 ай бұрын

Did you try it on unpaved roads? Curious how it feels when there's no suspension. I don't mean off-road or forest paths, but countryside roads I like to take.

@Techtablets 9 ай бұрын

I did yes, some paving that is all up and down and it was a bumpy ride as expected without the shocks.

@bloodybarron 10 ай бұрын

Looks good mate I liek that idea of the 3 speeds with the belt drive. Shame it has no GPS right? Is there an application for it?

@Techtablets 10 ай бұрын

No GPS with it and I think no app either it doesn't really need it.

Can't decide between this Engwe P275 Pro or Fiido C21. I'm tall (195cm) and want a daily commuter (7km round trip) for flat and MAYBE the occasional weekend longer trip (mainly flat with the odd hill). Both of your reviews made me want them! I like the rocket mode of C21 (for when I can sneakily use it) but the battery seems a bit on the small side and scared it will be useless in a year or 2. Decent samsung battery, plus belt on Engwe very tempting. Which would you recommend for me? Or anyone else who has actually bought one? Thanks to Chris for all the great reviews!!

Mid drive makes so much more sense with a wide range derailleur gear set. Belts are fine, but i can live with oiling and cleaning a chain if it means i can climb very steep hills easier.

@Techtablets 8 ай бұрын

Good thing they have the P275 non pro model that has the gears and chain. This is with the belt is better for flat areas.

Also not bad at all, and then: Belt Drive! But a different and heavier beast to the Lemmo. The air seat post is cool, useful. Both good bike I reckon.

@Techtablets 10 ай бұрын

Both are good it depends on your budget if you wan the self locking and GPS the Lemmo has it. But this bike for around 500 euros less covers all bases and yes that seat post is really great to have.

@@Techtablets Many prefer mid-drive, but can you comment from your experience on the drives systems? Since you are riding them all. I thought a rear drive retains more of that original bicycle feeling.

The more expensive the models of these non mainstream brands become, the less plausible they are because of the lack of support & warranty, one would get from the known brands at their local bike shop. Best to stick with the budget end below E1000/$1000/£1000 I'd have thought.

@Techtablets 10 ай бұрын

Very true that's what made them attractive the lower pricing but then they didn't have the know brand components which in the end also hurts them. I think if it was priced a little lower they should hit that sweet spot of price and then quality. I'm sure many would pay a little more for Samsung cell batteries than non branded ones. So goes for the motor etc. As for support I've not had to test them out yet, but you get the standard 12 months for frame and then it varies for the parts.

@ajacks1349 10 ай бұрын

@@Techtablets Warranty means nothing though, if there's no support within a reasonable distance from the customer. They simply don't have the service network to fix these things, instead they rely on customers fitting the parts themselves, as most local bike shops won't touch them...not good.

@Techtablets 10 ай бұрын

Bike shops here will, expect the motors or controllers of these "other" brand ebikes. But typical stuff like gears and brakes etc they do. But less a local warranty support and service center is a must.
