[@markberesford7107]

could you please do a video on maximum gross weight limits for ebikes. Manufacturers hide these in the smallprint, however the majority seem to be the same as non-electric bikes. the additional weight of an ebike (often 20 - 30 kg) is included in this gross weight, which then limits rider and accessory weight. A 100kg adult (there are alot of us out there!) may easily take the gross weight beyond the limit. Some light should be shone on this. thanks

[@jackfield991]

I've had a E28 for about 3 months. I use it to get to work, 10 mile round trip with 4 or 5 steep hills which it flows up, when fully charged it feels as if you are being pushed. Biggest regret is not buying the front suspension. Biggest disappointment is rust has developed in some places which considering the cost is annoying, i have sprayed with some muc off stuff now. Also slight niggle is there is no manuel (there is a basic one online but not much use) with bike so first time ebike riders like myself have to learn through use, embarrassingly i didn't realise when charging you have to wait until the tiny red light on the charger turns to green and not when it reaches 5 full bars which far from charges it fully. Its a great bike overall.

[@americotomas4889]

Very interesting feedback. So if you were able to present to Estarli a feedback, the points to improve would be: - reinforce key points on the eBike that have a tendency to rust. - addition 3 step pdf of how to charge the eBike 1- plug in and see the charger go red; 2- wait until the light on the charger goes green (even if all the bars can be seen on the display; 3- unplug and enjoy!!. Could this feedback be sent to the Estarli brand so that they could make an assessement to improve their eBikes ElectroHeads? And have an even better quality product?

Thanks a lot for your channel, I love the way you are presenting. The Estarli 28 looks great but I have two concerns. My wife has a Giant with a centre shock and it makes the bike a bit unstable, noissues like that on the Estarli? Second issue is the Battery that seems to be built in, our Bikes are parked in a shed and loading a battery in freezing temperatures seems to be a bad idea. What about the maximum load the bike can carry? I bring 110 kg to the scale, would it have enough stability?

Yes, great to hear you addressing accessibility. At the beginning of lockdown I bought a Batribike Sigma folder because it was the lowest step through I could find and at the time it was British made, I don't think they are any more. The only thing wrong with it is it's heavy for me but it has survived me toppling over on it a couple of times so I guess for heavy read sturdy! 😂 It tolerated me strapping on an enormous basket to go shopping in the summer too. I can't afford to keep changing bikes but it's good to see British made light weight accessible ones becoming available. I'm also interested in cargo bikes (in my dreams) do you have any interest in those? Lovely to see everyone, great show 👍👏 Edit: btw I live in Kent too, whereabouts are you?

[@StellaHulliet]

Wow, I just stumbled upon this new project called the freebeat Morph 2-in-1 e-Bike, and it looks absolutely amazing! The most outstanding feature is that it can be charged when you apply indoor mode! Not only does it offer an exhilarating speed and power with its 750W motor and impressive 80Nm torque, but it also ensures a smooth ride with its 80mm front suspension and puncture-resistant fat tires. And the Smart Saddle Detection+ feature is just genius, providing valuable insights and keeping you motivated during indoor and outdoor rides.

Hi, love the site. I am thinking about buying an e-bike in the next couple of months and the Estarli e28 is favourite. However I will be living in West Cornwall and unable to come to London for a test ride. I am 65 and haven’t ridden a bike for ages. How would you suggest I go about my research?

[@Electroheads]

Hi John - first of all, congrats on living in West Cornwall. I'd love to ride an e-bike along Gwithian and Godrevey beaches on a nice Summer's day! With the Estarli e28, it's probably the e-bike that is closest to riding a traditional (non-electric bike), so unless you are particularly tall or short, I think it would be well-suited to a returning rider. We are planning on doing test ride roadshows soon, but I don't think we'll make it down towards Cornwall sadly.

[@johnpengelly9933]

@@Electroheads Thanks for that. I hadn’t thought about riding a bike on the beach - or even seen anyone do that! I want to buy a bike so I can do a quick run to the shops without taking the car out (or peddling too hard) as it’s quite hilly in Falmouth. It doesn’t necessarily need to be like a non-electric bike so others are possible, I just need to know what the key decision factors are when buying. Btw you should do a bike review video on a beach in Cornwall. The ones in London are all a bit samey and not relevant for a lot of your viewers.

[@americotomas4889]

I tried one of the Estarli (foldable e20 with off road tyres). It is solid and fun eBike!! My question would be: if eBikes like ADO (offering so much... carbon belt with torque sensor, hydraulic disk brakes, very light 10 year warranty frames and whopping 350Wh battery) are just about to change the rules of the game... A bit like Tesla. From time to time, a new Brand just puts on the table a brand new rule book. And throughs everyone off their game... for a while. What I don't know is if ADO is losing money per ADO air they sell? Is so, how much? No company can bleed forever... So Are prices in a few months from now going to go up? And all they want is to gain market reputation and them balance themselves out... Also good questions about the production line of Estarli could be: - Can you make a carbon belt with torque sensor cheaper to produce than a metal chain with shimano gears (which are probably quite expensive)? - Have the prices of the batteries gone down enough so that the previous acceptable 250Wh batteries are now being bumped in to 350Wh at very similar price tag? - Could the frame (which is very standard and on the heavy side) be replaced by a different one like ADO is doing? - Are disk breaks using cables just not a thing any more... Hydraulics is just much better and affordable enough? I am not British. I was born and raised in Lisbon area for more than 35 years. But I am a Huge advocate of made in UK products!! The UK Region has what it takes to compete neck to neck with German products for example. The so claimed made in Germany seal of approval. Nothing against German products!! But UK can be up there too!! So I would like very much to see Estarli transition to a sustainable future with no fear nor regreats. Like it happens in tech a lot, if you don't innovate, you become obsolete. Maybe Mycle bikes could be a good example of that... Is Estarli innovating enough to continue to sell their solid range of products! While on the pipeline, the next gen of eBikes is on the making? Drop parts on the eBike and start fresh. Clean slate!! What is the essence of an eBike? And how can you make it in a way that is profitable. But at the same time a very compelling product is delivered to the Riders!! With a high output on the production line acomplished by the simplification of the product itself. Cheerios ElectroHeads!!

[@Neilukuk]

I would love to know the answer to your questions as well. I am going to email them and ask them

[@Neilukuk]

I have emailed ADO and will let you know what they say :)

[@BigBallRocker]

This there a E 26 as I like 26 inch wheel?

[@americotomas4889]

Good question. I don't think there is. But my recomendation to Estarli is not to have 50 models to sell. Instead make a few very good eBike and mass produce them. Improving profitability by leveraging economics of scale. The more you produce, the more negotiation power you have. The more automation you need to implement to keep it going. The more cost efficient you get your production line. Really hard to do! But the companies that do it well, get in a really good spot. I like cars so a good example about the risk of too many models to choose from are the differences between VW and Tesla. VW has multiple brands that are pretty much the same. Different design pretty much. So they end up competing with each other for same market share. In Europe, Tesla has 2 models. They share more than 70% of their components. And the model Y is just one of the best selling cars in Europe (not just EV's). Simple range of products. Little choices. But whatever you choose, you get the best of it!! Estarli might be going into the trap of too many models. To many variation of the same eBike. But not that much improvement being driven into their core models!! I would suggest 3 types of wheels: 16'', 20'' and 28''. Done!! And make those eBike and every component used in it, the very best it can be!!

If you use Apple Maps or Google Maps you can generally get a choice of routes, either more direct on main roads or less direct on back roads. For Camden to Hammersmith you'll be able to take advantage of routes through Regents Park and Hyde Park... Marylebone has a lot of bike lanes and roads with low traffic (being inside the congestion charging zone). Unfortunately though your route will inevitably go through the borough of Kensington and Chelsea... notoriously London's least bike-friendly borough.

[@davidf2281]

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong but it seems this bike's pedal assist is not torque sensing? The only piece of information I can glean from estarli's pitifully information-free website says, "advanced candence", which I assume means, "advanced cadence" but nobody's bothered to proof read. The impression I get is that this company is not "manufacturing in the UK" but bolting together generic parts sourced from China -- that they didn't design -- in the UK.

[@americotomas4889]

There are so many supplier from China at good quality and affordable prices, that it makes sense for estarli to buy components from there. Interesting observation about torque sensor vs cadence sensor... Advanced cadence does sound dodgy. Additional clarification about it wouldn't hurt. The design is heavily influenced by your parts supplier. So the quality of the build by itself is important!! And the bike I rode was solid!! No bolts jumping around!!

[@davidf2281]

@@americotomas4889 I have no objection at all to Chinese-made parts; almost every company uses China for manufacturing. My alarm bells are more from the fact that it appears estarli hasn't designed a single component on the bikes they're selling, and their utterly useless website indicates to me that they don't know much about them either. A decent small bike company would be falling over themselves to talk about how their bikes perform, how little design touches improve the experience, and give information like frame geometry and simple stuff like how you actually recharge the thing (where's the charge port? Is the battery removable? etc). Instead it's just a bunch of what looks like stock photography with models and uselessly basic spec lists. And they don't even sell replacement battery packs! Anyway.

Love electric bikes. Hate the fact they are really a middle class fashion. Working class people can't and won't ever pay £1700 or £2500 for a bicycle. We should be pushing and promoting the bikes £500 and less.

[@MarcoDeJesus14]

You can build an excellent e-bike for under 1k.

[@samueltaylor2757]

I feel your pain but its honestly hard to make a safe and practical ebike for that money. A decent non-e-bike already costs 300-500 then to add a motor and a battery is another few hundred. The best think you can do is buy a used bicycle (£100-ish) and convert it with an E bike kit (£350). This is what a lot of the delivery riders do.

[@KiranMachiraju]

Difficult to make an EBike at that price point. Need at least £1000 for an EBike. I bought a non electric bicycle and I absolutely love it, I commute to work daily on it, but I regret not buying an EBike instead.

[@TheAllMightyGodofCod]

Well, that is a very nice idea but is there any way it could be done or is that just wishful thinking?

[@douganddavibowen2022]

Funny that there are plenty of decent ebikes available in German shops for around 800 euros, they must be pricing them wrong 😅

Do you think the electric bike industry is missing out on a massive potential in regards to the market place ? Personally speaking I think so , here’s my take on the market place , the amount of older people be they men or women obviously not forgetting others who see themselves as who they want to be and good for them, sorry I digress , I think with electric bikes if they had more belt drives systems it would open a whole new world to people who want ease of use and don’t want derailed system and see that system as off putting , the whole idea of ease of use should be paramount, would make a good video to take electric bike on a tour of the UK , derailleur system/belt drive system, don’t forget you’re not looking for existing cyclists the premise of the video’s is to attack none cyclists to then become cyclists, yes you could say belt up and get a life but you seem to be too charming to even think thoughts as that , sorry for long email but only a little sorry , song for the email = Nine Million Bicycles = Katie Melba, have a nice day and life.

[@americotomas4889]

Very interesting!! Plenty of good details on the message. I met some older citizens that stay away from bikes in general because they are not getting any younger. And if they get hurt, it takes longer to heal... or it doesn't heal properly at all... Agree with the idea of the carbon belts and torque sensores. To make simpler and easier to use. A UK tour sounds like fun!! And a nice suggestion already as a song too. We are all invited to particicpate in the electrification of the world. Younger or More long lived people!!

[@jennings016]

Great bike, excellent value. But sizes don’t take in consideration of tall and short people

[@americotomas4889]

A real use case of an eBike vs PHEV car: - So I needed this morning to go to an ATM to get some cash to pay for my Wonderful 6 year old karate class. And my immediate thought was: 'I will take the car, but it's a high street. A pain to park. Where am I going to park the car?' I can do it in electric mode. PHEV's have very small batteries for a car. But it's only 1mile there and another one back. Then I had a lightbolt moment: 'Wait a minute... I have an eBike. I don't need to park the car. Problem solved.' The weather is nice today here is zone 4 East of London. So off I went. Nice and easy. Got the cash... 15min later I am back!! With a car it would take me longer. More expensive because I might need to pay for parking!! And not so rewarding nor pleasant!! eBikes Rule!! Haha!! So are eBikes part of the solution towards a sustainable future? I think they are!!

[@simonh2747]

It sounds like a paid review rather than an honest review. Not a word about one of the most essential points of electric bikes: charging. The fact that the battery is not detachable means that you have to take a bike inside every night for charging. This is not an issue for the foldable bikes since the design is to fold and take them inside but on e28 .... ? keep in mind that if you live in a small flat, then your bike might be charged in the living room while your friends are coming for dinner.

[@Electroheads]

I can assure you this is not paid. We mark our videos very clearly the promotion tag if so. You make some very valid points with a non-removable battery but that isn’t a be all end all for everyone as we’ve seen by the influx of interest 👍🏼 I personally use this electric bike a lot and being a Londoner and not wanting a bike stolen the bike comes in the front room anyway

[@JellyMonster1]

Yeah, so I thought the style of the bike was pretty bland. Great video as always though!

Out of curiosity, what would be your definition of less bland. Are there any eBike models that are more in line with your design preferences?

I read on Halfords website reviews. Of the boardman HYB 8.9e a guy purchased one a couple of years back, and now it needed a New Actuator for the electric motor, and Halfords could no longer supply the part for that particular year model. How can we be sure in a few years time this bike won’t develop a Problem and the company doesn’t exist or they don’t make it anymore ? We basically end up with a Heavy bike that don’t work anymore 😢 it’s an expensive purchase

[@americotomas4889]

Well you can't be sure. As the pace of innovation is relentless, parts availiable in the supply chain change all the time. Maybe a skilled bike mechanic could retro fit a part and keep it going... Most people get board of using the same bike after a while. I have my eBike since summer of 2021... And I want a new one. And there is nothing wrong with my current eBike!! Version compatibility is something that almost no brand in the world is good at. Still, people buy all sorts of products and have fun with them. Isn't that what life is all about?

[@shahan1465]

Front suspension and hydraulic disk brakes cost additional £250 ? You can a get an ebike with mid-rive Bosch motor in this price range of £1800. Its way overpriced.

why do these bikes not have Rear suspension....?

[@davidf2281]

It's a road bike, not a mountain bike. Rear suspension is completely unnecessary on a road bike.

[@Electroheads]

Because it doesn't need rear suspension

[@americotomas4889]

And the rear suspension makes it bounce a little. And with it you would loose a little of efficiency. I had a mountain bike with rear suspension and it's not like in a car... It's good for mountain down hill and that type of activities where the shocks are necessary.
