Why i LOVE This Bike! - Eleglide M1 Plus - AFFORDABLE ELEC BIKE

[@robertsavage7804]

Hi Mike. I agree with Tiddler Kelv's comment : I'm guessing that you'll be making good use of the e bike and it'll be visible in many of your upcoming chip runs. Eleglide did well choosing you to promote it. It was a good review too. All you need now to make your chip run perfect is a pannier, or a basket! Cheers.

[@TheFrenchiesMotorhomechannel]

thanks rob appreciate the nice comment and i will definitely be using it from now on , no more struggling coming back and eating it out of breath! cant wait to use it for the trial chippy run , next weekend , i think i’ll be using my back pack to put it in , inside a plastic bag first then in the back pack , will look into a pannier as a possibility 👍 thanks again for watching and commenting mike

[@Poseidon6363]

I have the Eleglide T1 which is similar to the M1 but with extras + an enclosed battery, love it.

[@TheFrenchiesMotorhomechannel]

yes a great bike , a nice smooth ride too

[@ruthkirby9277]

We are coming to the conclusion that with a lot of sites being a bit out of town it might be an idea to look at bikes. Really liked that you showed how easy the controls are and that light🙂. A surprisingly relaxing watch - thanks Mike!

[@TheFrenchiesMotorhomechannel]

hi ruth bikes can definitely be a handy addition to any trip and in my case not having to eat being out of breath any more , no more trying hard to get back in time 😂 , yes the bike is so easy to use i was surprised having never used one before , actually i did have a go of trevs @poshcatscamping last year and was really impressed thanks for watching mike 👍

[@k15elv]

So glad you’ve had a bike 👍out of all the KZbinrs we’re subscribed to your one of the few that actually use one anyway . Them fish and chips going to be so much warmer 😬all the best

[@TheFrenchiesMotorhomechannel]

i know i can’t wait til next weekend when i actually use it to go and get the fish n chips , and even more so eating it without being out of breath ! thanks for watching and commenting 👍😀

[@nicklarder2647]

Best thing you will do, I’m 55 and got back into mountain biking with an e-bike, out most weekends now, would never have got back onto a pedal bike , enjoy it Mike

[@TheFrenchiesMotorhomechannel]

cheers nick i never thought i’d use one but it’s just so handy when you need that extra push without injuring yourself putting a knee out etc , love it thanks for watching 👍

[@RickandHeather]

Looks a good buy that, don’t always need to be flashy and expensive if you just want to plod along, glad you got offered something you actually use well done, hope the comments are positive not rude.

[@TheFrenchiesMotorhomechannel]

i will actually use it , genuinely for the reasons given , 3 nasty comments so far all removed & minus 6 subs

[@RickandHeather]

@@TheFrenchiesMotorhomechannel i suppose it’s worth the hit subs wise if it’s a decent item, I’ve been offered a lithium battery and a 2nd one if I do 2 videos, tempted as I’d never really buy lithium myself but I know they’re way more useful in the van.

[@markjones4971]

Thanks mate. Im 56 used to do a lot of cycling when younger... Been considering an Ebike for a while...Quite hilly where i live so wanted a little assistance here and there. Great review.

[@TheFrenchiesMotorhomechannel]

cheers , thanks for watching 👍

[@stephenhayward6445]

Never wanted or thought I'd ever buy an ebike was always happy with our two fold up bike's, well I succumbed and bought two 😂😂, now I'd never go back 😂😂, ten miles on the fold ups was hard work twenty miles on the ebikes is a breeze, our bikes are big 28inch wheels and 6,3inch in length but with a step through frame, also weigh 25kg with battery, 22.5kg removed so not the lightest, if I bought again I'd have a good look at a slightly smaller ebike even an e fold up, anyway another enjoyable vlog keep them coming 👍.

[@TheFrenchiesMotorhomechannel]

hi stephen , i really couldn’t believe how good they are , i had a quick go of one last year but never thought i’d like it but i can see the benefits now , i think kirsty would like the step through frame one like yours , can’t wait til this weekend when we are away in the van and it will get the real rest ! thanks as always for watching and commenting mike 👍

[@anotherdayinparadise7443]

ET3 ❤ Nice review Mike Can’t wait to see Kirsty on the 1st chippy run on the Eleglide 🤔 No complaints Mike all you need to do is set the table and get the drinks ready 😁 Looks like a good electric bike at a reasonable price , Hope you have a bike trailer for the girls . Top draw video shots , good usage of the bike in them sweeping shots 😎👍🏻 Just left Sunny Cromer (4 out of 4 days of sun)🥵not moaning it was super 😎 Keith , Michelle and Freedom the VW Campervan

[@TheFrenchiesMotorhomechannel]

cant beat cromer mate ! glad the weather was good for you all , haha kirsty on the bike yeah right that’ll be the day 😂, ET3 will go through the chippy paces this weekend can’t wait to test it properly , really looking forward to eating it without being out of breath , Hopefully it will be a good weekend cheers guys enjoy the rest of the week 👍😀 kirsty , lexi , zola , & mike 😬

[@sylviapage8572]

That was a great video. Well thought out and some excellent photography. The size reference to your work colleagues and Kirsty was spot on. The price point is also really good for an ebike. Thanks for sharing.

[@TheFrenchiesMotorhomechannel]

cheers sylv really enjoyed making the video and demonstrating, i will definitely be using it from now on , no more eating out of breath! A good price for an electric bike thanks for watching mike

[@perrinstow5302]

Hi Mike, great bike, better for those long fish & chip runs when away, and what an excellent review you did, all the best, Perrin & Marilyn, 😊👍

[@TheFrenchiesMotorhomechannel]

hi perrin & marilyn , can’t wait to test it next weekend for the chippy run , thanks for saying it was a good review , well at least i can now eat fish and chips without being out of breath thanks for watching 👍😀

[@TheFrenchiesMotorhomechannel]

cheers both yeah can’t wait to use it for the run , the proper test ! thanks for watching 👍😀

[@davemac3942]

As an owner, I did find the display (initially) was not working properly, after some investigation I noticed the control cable was being pulled out of the by the spiral binding, so after freeing it up and tie strapping the cable to the handlebars, I managed to get a useable control unit. I bought a rack from Decathlon [Bike Pannier Rack 500 26-28 Disc] which was easy to fit although it didn't have the two machine screw's fixing for the bottom. The handlebar is a bit long and I might shorten it in the future. The warranty card is a bit worrying as it seems some major components are only guaranteed for 6 months! It does sound like you are driving a milk float when going uphill. The front shock's are more springs than dampeners and can snap back with a jolt. Included in the stuff was a e-moped conversion which would have left you with an illegal bike. The brakes squeal all the time, I don't need the bell. The power is a bit erratic, be careful in mixed pedestrian/bike area's when you are on mode 4, as the power kick can catch you unawares, I just rotate the crank a couple of spins when I want a little power. I used my shock absorber seat post from my old bike as even with padded shorts its a bit of a hard ride.

[@TheFrenchiesMotorhomechannel]

funny you should mention mode 4 and getting caught out , same happened to me was lucky i was holding on its a bit of a jerk but other than that and squeaky brakes here too , all seems ok 2 months down the line for me , milk float is spot on too! a rather strange sound , how are your tyres & any signs of ware ?

[@davemac3942]

No signs of wear , although I will change them to semi slicks to provide a smoother ride, British roads are not the smoothest and full of dents, cracks and ruts. I live in Poole, Dorset which is on several hills, I am always going up and down hill when out on a ride.

[@oche_official]

How’s it now??? I’m thinking of buying it….. (more because that’s all I can afford anyways). I’d like to use it for e bike delivery service, would you recommend I go ahead!!???

[@DebsBird1968]

The next fish and chip run will be supersonic! 😂 that was a great in depth review of the bike 👍

[@TheFrenchiesMotorhomechannel]

[@alielaridi9077]

Great video mate! I recently got this bike myself a few days ago and it’s been really good. Only thing is that the throttle on the bike doesn’t seem to have the power to go up steep hills without paddling ? Do you seem to have any similar issues or is yours able to go up steep hills without pedalling?

[@TheFrenchiesMotorhomechannel]

hi i’ve not actually been up any hill yet , had the bike 3 weeks and live in the the flattest part of england , the bike has been great so far and if i go up any hills i’ll let you know how it performs , cheers 👍

Looks like a nice bike, decent price, too, I'll bare it mind. Nice review, too, love that music you've got going all the way through. Wonder if they could do you an attachment to keep your chips warm on the way back!?😊

[@TheFrenchiesMotorhomechannel]

hi guys and thanks , yes not a bad price at all was impressed with the whole bike really easy to use , finding the right music is by far the most difficult part for any video ( for me that is ) , glad i chose the right track , i think i’ll be using a back pack for the fish n chips , not sure if i’ll be able to get a basket on there , thanks for watching again and commenting mike 👍😀

[@CaravanningwiththeMrs]

So jealous ;-) What a great review Mike, this has been on my Amazon wish list for a while. Going to do the lottery tomorrow. They look like a really stylish bike too. I always wondered if your previous bike was a standard bike or an E bike. All the best Gary & Julie.

[@TheFrenchiesMotorhomechannel]

hi guys that’s my first elec bike , never used one before and always thought its cheating or defeating the object of cycling but just never thought about things like injury prevention or a little bit of assistance when required etc , it really helps for that , i’ll be using it from now on just so that i can eat fish n chips with out being out of breath for a change 👍😀 thanks for watching mike

Hi yes still using it as shown in most of my videos , genuinely like it , never had a problem with it , mostly impressed with the battery life especially as i mostly use the highest setting with a twist and go throttle grip to sometimes ride one handed whilst filming down certain tracks etc .

[@readerbuzz]

Good review Mike and it's a decent price too. I also remove batteries, seat and front wheel whilst travelling as it keeps the weight down on the rear door and it makes it less appealing to the scumbag thieves. Does it have a quick release front wheel? One thing I did notice was that your wheels seem to obsure your lights, not sure if it was the angle??? Rack might need moving up a bit. Really glad you got a nice bike to review, nice result 👍

[@TheFrenchiesMotorhomechannel]

thanks for the tips ! much appreciated, security is definitely in my interest , no the wheels are bolted on just the seat is quick release, i’ve been taking that off to make it less appealing but can they probably buy a cheap seat and post from anywhere, i do love the bike and will definitely use it 👍

[@MarvinWestmaas]

Hi there, could you do me a BIG favour and start your M1, press + and - at the same time till you get to the settings menu which starts with P0.1 which is display brightness. Don't change anything, but please give me the default controller configuration ( values ) of all the settings. When changing P0.8 I probably changed P0.7 by mistake, and 'support' can't understand English enough to give me a way to reset to factory settings or the individual factory default settings so I can check mine manually. It would be HIGHLY appreciated, such a headache dealing with their 'support'. Been asking for default values for P0.1 to P1.9 for DAYS... it's not that hard, or it shouldn't be. A factory reset option ofc should also be possible with firmware but heck... maybe that's asking to much.
