Coming up next on mod projects 4306 so let’s start with the front of the bike this is what it looks like nice cafe racer style headlight there and then we bring it round to the tires which I can’t find a logo on them so I don’t know what they are but I’ve been
Ridden a range test on it the other day they’re very quiet and they’re a very good Compound L to the Logan brakes two piston 180 mm rotors battery there’s your controller in there folding pedals nice sturdy stand really good connector to that beang motor in there nice sturdy all around really and the
Saddle this saddle is really comfortable I was really surprised when I sat on it but it’s really comfortable and and let’s have a look at that with suspension it’s got air so you can change the settings on that round to rear light down to this side where we see the tney derailer the
Usual free wheel that you’ll see on one of these nice chain think that’s a 52 to front chaming suspension that side go look at this front suspension again so twin Crown Forks nice color I really like the color of this so look at the screen so that’s the screen load break
Levers usual Tombstone gear shifter so coming up is a really nasty oill by nasty I mean nasty it’s long and it’s Steep and if your ebike can get up this it can get up anything and I no quams in thinking this this will make it I know it will but I have struggled
With 48 volt BS getting up this one um well I’m barely pedaling in fact all I’m doing is making sure my cranks going around well I’m not really putting any any effort into it I love this bike Come On Son you can do it the effort I’m putting into this is pretty much
5% if that and there we go so I don’t believe in doing the the throttle test because I live in the UK so if I’m using the bike I’ve got to be seen to be pedaling it otherwise it’s assumed that I’m using the throttle
Um and in that it’s it’s a bit of a waste of time is the total test I don’t live on a savannah I’m not out in La I’m out in h yire and this is the terrain that I ride so it’s uh yeah it’s 9 28 mph not a problem slightly down now
29 and it’s stable this bike is really really stable it’s it’s not like my other ebikes it’s more stable than my 26 in R Rhino it’s stable and it’s just another reason to like this bike it’s been properly thought out I do have some cons to it which I’ll
Put in at the end of this review but they’re so microscopic they don’t really matter and really they dig at all ebike makers especially the 204 size wheels you know you got a 20in wheel it’s totally different gear wise to a 26 in wheel and I’ll
Explain why it’s aigle to me again at the end of this video so there’s another of my least favorite hills around Wakefield long in windy and one of my other ebikes tends to struggle getting up so Dro a couple of Gears here put a bit of effort into
It oh yeah I’m barely pedaling I’m probably like 20 per second on these pedals and yeah love it and then back down there and wonderful White Field so here we are we’re on another Hill and this one steep as well Steep and windy again I’m putting about 5% on pass
Five and invariably I’ll be riding round on this most of the time in past five because I get my exercise elsewhere but that’s not a reason to not put some effort in these are great exercise bikes as well ebikes you just set it at whatever
Level you want so you can use this to get as much exercise as you want as you can see 18 mph up pill I’m probably put in 5% that’s really just the weight of my legs these heels are about as steep as you’re going to sort of get in the
UK and they this bike sort of goes through it with ease I I So one of the great things about this buang motor is that I’m kind of used now to the subtle Motors that are subsidiary Bay Fang in my the bikes and the quality difference is totally different you never ever feel like this motor is straining don’t matter what you pull up against it it
Just doesn’t sound like it’s oh slow down it’s a totally different experience and it’s the same experience I on my rad Rhino that’s a bay frang motor and it works brilliantly let’s got up to 20 M hour do another break test break test two and there we are oh yes They’re very good these little good brakes it’s not the first time I’ve had them on a bike let’s go for break test three get up to 20 M hour there we are oh yeah I’ll try not to lock them up but they will lock up so I in
P3 and it’s just comfortable at this speed you know I can easily get up to about 17 18 M hour 20 but I love things on pass three and I’m not drawing as much power from the battery so but it’s much more fun in past Five incredibly somebody turning that a left down the oh you can see from here Jesus I love the turn of place of this thing so I’m in level five and I’m going to try and get a little bit of speed run on this private line let’s get
Going let’s see what we get up to thing is it doesn’t feel quick it’s it’s that stable a bike it just doesn’t feel quick right as you all know on 260 and I go about 15 pack on with photography equipment and it easily sits around 26 27 28 mph on the
Flat that’s pretty good so pass level one gives us around about 10 or 11 M hour drop it up to pass two and that brings us up to about 13 M hour 12 13 mph plus three brings this up to pretty much legal speed limit for ebikes about 15 16 M hour that’s 4 gives us a bit of a heft jump there and I’m up to 22 see if it gets up 23 no and then we’re into pass Five which I’m now ghost pedaling on and there we go and this brings us out nor more Road riding up to about 25 so all respectable
Numbers so what’s it like in traffic well cuz of the size of it the weight of it it’s quite a domineering bike my of the bikes feel well one of my the bikes feel quite flimsy in comparison but this this is a this is a different thing alog
Together for your start crying this never changes unless there’s a bus here So and because it feels stable it umart from the recharge you C on the road it’s it’s a CRA it’s not like any of the other bikes I own I think the step through element really gives it some going to P it it really gives you some confidence
When you’re riding it I don’t know what it is and there’s also the stealth element which it’s a step through it doesn’t look like Batman’s motorbike you know oh this is an horrendous Hill let’s see how we do getting up this the other thing is like I said on
My other bikes I do not like taking my hands off the angle bars because they don’t feel stable with this I’ll taking both off numerous times now and they just feel stable there’s no wobble there’s no imbalance it’s just it’s just effortless that’s I think that’s a good way to describe this it’s
Effortless stealthy and effortless so there it is so what do I like about this bike well the suspension’s really good out of the box it really is like driving around in the rolls or driving around on the rolls Roy of ebikes it’s just really well put together the
Pace you know what you get out of that that 52 volts even unlocked it’s even even more surprising but locked it’s good enough I like the stability of it the ease of use it’s so easy to ride around on it really is it’s a really easy bike to ride around on it’s really
Comfortable so there’s that the saddle really surprised me that saddle it looks like it’s going to cause you all sorts of problems but it’s the most comfortable saddle I’ve got it’s really good and that bay Fang motor down there that bay Fang motor tell about the size of it it’s
Actually bigger than the ones that we’ve got in our angro bikes it’s it’s just quality and it’s the same motor I’ve got in my my rad Rhino so what what are the downsides of it well it’s no brake light there no brake light and at the cost of this
It should have a brake light I’m not bothered about indicators but it’s a safety thing so changing the batteries around or charging lights is a bit of a pain in the bum whil I like well this isn’t a dig at sa rusher it’s a dig at all these people
That are making these 20 by4 bikes that Freewheel is it’s fine on let’s say pretty much any 20 by6 bike but the geometry of gearing on a 204 bike is is totally different so like I said this isn’t a dig it’s Sera it’s a dig at all 2×4 ebike manufacturers that should be
An 1134 and within that my 1134 that I’ve got on my enu engine X that I fitted because again I had to do it myself pretty much negates using a throttle I very rarely use the throttle so this brings me to another thing the throttle now it’s illegal in most of
Europe it’s illegal in some states in the US and I’ve come up with the idea of having a boost button that brings us up to 6 km an hour and then shuts off that’s all it can do 0 to 6 km an hour it’s not a
Throttle then it’s a button you press to assist you when you’re riding uphills and that’s enough that’s all you need I don’t know if you notice while I’m riding around but I very rarely use my thr it’s only when I’m up going uphill or starting from a stop cuz these are heavy bikes
These are really heavy heavy bikes and luckily this one’s got Logan brakes on Logan brakes are Fab I’ve used them before and they’re fabulous so but at this price point one little niggle but these are good enough I’d like to see four piston brakes but you get your money with this
Bike so the tires I’m not sure what tires they are I can’t seem to find anything on but they feel very much like my kers maybe somebody from s sh war or somebody owns one will let me know what tires they are but they’re really comfortable tires they very low
Noise it doesn’t sound like you’ve got a swarm of was chasing you down the road when you’re riding they’re very quiet like I said apart from that this bike is absolutely brilant it’s the best bike I own by far um and at its price point it’s worth every penny it’s worth absolutely every
Penny and like I said you get that stal thing that people look at it and think well that’s a step through great if you want to go around on bikes looking like your Batman or riding around on saurons or whatever and not expecting to get caught on it fine but
This is stealth this is fabulous I’ve got some mods coming up for it there’s a 25 aamp battery going on that rear rack so that’s going to put me up into 42 amp of range I’m going to work out a way of putting a remote in because the
Way that these are derestricted is basically you pull two wires apart now if I can put a junction in between there that’s running off an infrared Port somewhere I can just switch that on and off so switching on and off will turn it from road legal to
Derestricted and then back again at the push of a button um I may involve an alarm system with that as well there’s plenty of places in this place to put a tracker cuz if you have a look down by the free whe at the front the the crank
At the front all that comes out there’s plenty of space in there I believe that to be it’s either a 48 or 52 in tooth even um but apart from that everything’s really good everything’s really good it’s the one bike right now that i’ keep and get rid of all the
Others and I’ve got two more bikes on their way that I bought so but I think this is going to stand up on its own I think it’s just just a brilliant bike and that’s it

out ov all 3 bikes whats better your thoughts i do like the engwe x my self
So I'm guessing ya don't like the ovia much…lol…. A great review mate .. it shows how to use it and trust in the ability levels of you and the ovia. It's seems to me it's a pretty good match. Why buy more bikes??? This 11-34 rear gear cassette you talk about can you get them 7 speed for engwe bike?? I look forward to your next vid.. I got relive app buy the way. Your right it is worth the money…
Great video good presentation loved it
nice Review, but I think the price is very high compared to the Kommoda. Same size, a little bigger batterie and 700 bucks more, this not a good deal. AND 53kg bike weight this is unbelievable
