Okay, this is something different from me
Was having a look at electric bikes a while ago and didn't see this back then, I've had a little nose around on this model and it's actually pretty impressive. We had the Xiaomi one posted not so long ago at £435, which has a lower max weight and is slightly heavier.
The Xiaomi one has bigger wheels, so there is that to consider, I think by 4". Looking at the spec sheet, they both cover the same kind of distance (45km in moped mode) and this one shows 5km/h faster (max speed 25km/h) than the Xiaomi (20km/h)
Anyways, for £78.16 less than the xiaomi model, it doesn't sound bad at all.
So this one -
Lighter (Only by 500g)
Smaller Wheels - by 4 inches
5km/h faster 25km/h vs 20km/h
Max weight 120KG (Xiaomi 100KG Max)
Cost £78.16 less than the Xiaomi Model
It depends what features you're interested in, but both worth considering
Shipping insurance is £7.90 more, which I don't see as a deal breaker, in this instance

Seriously though that is neat. I've been looking at ebikes but find a lot of the cheap options skimp on the bike to support the e so been leaning towards a decent bike and modding it with a BBS02 later myself. This one seems to do the e side well and then shrink the bike part till it's cheap. Not sure I'd trust 12" wheels out on the roads where potholes are plentiful.
Besides I don't have the room to store even a folding bike
And why always an EU plug ?????
Just noticed there are no gears so that's a sensible worry. If they seriously think you can pedal it at 15mph the gearing must be pretty high so no fun to ride up a hill without the motor.
I have just looked at the video, and it looks tiny. With the seating position and handlebars in that position, I think it would be impossible to get any power from cycling. It is more suited for just nipping to the shops or around the park I think.
Shame though, as I actually think it looks pretty cool.
deal of the decade,
no pedals just electric goes for 15 klms with one charge 2 hours charging time
fwheel.cc/pro…d2/
Actually even their own website says 20km, so make that 12 miles tops.
Kinda claims 72V though which'd be roughly right for lithium ion. That's 370Wh which isn't bad at all. Top end bikes tend to be 500Wh.
No front brake nor seat height adjustment on the black motor-only model?
still a cracking deal though
A bike's purpose is to help you get to places quickly. A fitness bike's purpose is to exercise. This is not a fitness bike, in fact this one gets you to places quickly and comfortably (not sweaty).
A motorbike’s purpose is to get you to places quickly. This thing is also far from comfortable with that seating position.
Not gonna argue that this is a good bike, it isn't, but the motorbike has a whole load of downsides like needing petrol, a license, taxing, MOTs, insurance etc so isn't in the same price category as a pedal bike.
Also max weight is not 75kg, that is incorrect. The official rating by Xiaomi is 100kg. Plus after the firmware update the max speed is 25km/h now.
wheelive.net has some reviews of some similar bikes..
Nope. Also the physics of charging by pedal power make it unrealistic unless that's all you want to do with your waking hours. Use mains power.
I tell them "Yes it does, it has a perpetual motion setting" I then point at the display on the bars. They then nod accordingly.
Mmm, if a strong head wind can slow me down significantly what do you think losing 20W of my 100W to charge the battery will do, apart from give me a full charge in 18 hours continuous cycling time?
I know, people just dont understand the physics of it.
I've given up trying to explain it to them.
Anyway it does state that you get about 20km as an ebike or 45km in moped mode so there is some logic behind the question 😋
A car has an engine to recharge its batteries. A car also has a lot of weight, so the regenerative braking releases a lot of energy for battery recharging.
Ebikes are nothing like Hybrid cars.
As Biker.Jeff says, it's basically all in the energy source. Regen braking makes sense if you just look at a cyclist at the top of a hill about to ride down. If you consider how they got to the top of that hill then regen braking becomes charging the battery by pedalling but with extra steps. That's before you consider that batteries, controllers and motors aren't 100% efficient, or that pumping power back into the battery will require extra circuitry which adds weight.
Its the reason the vast majority of Ebikes dont bother with it.
I've ordered one as its compact enough for me to carry into the office and charge at work anyway, solving the issue of needing to charge mid working day if the battery gets low on the trip out. That hopefully cuts my commute cost to almost zero without the risk of running out of juice (although there's always good old pedal power if it comes to it).
Anyone else got one? I've seen good things about the D1 version (From when it was £400 too) so I'm hoping the second gen one is even better. Looks like its lost the cruise control though...
How did you get on with this lanky?
They're going for £301.08 on gearbest now. How much did it come to all in including delivery/import etc?
