Hi, I personally recently bought Ado Beast and decided to sell my car. Now I cycle to the next city (6 miles 1 way) and then by train. In summer I will try to cycle directly to my work by bike (around 16 miles).
Please review the ADO DECE 300C.
The throttle is very pointless on mirider.. i think the throttle should be 15mph but only when a sensor spots you going up a steep hill. I always wondered if the throttle could be hacked to change speed.
All junk! if I lived in London I would get a electric modified Brompton. They hold their value! these forgettable named bikes are probably a fire hazard.
A couple of weeks ago I bought the Estarli E28 which is down to you guys as I first saw the bike on this channel. I didn't buy it from you because I live near the Berkhamsted factory and I bought it from a bike shop in Tring. It's a great bike so far and it's had a few mods along the way like metal mudguards, bike rack and stem extender. As I'm 6ft 6 I needed that little bit of adjustment to make the bike comfortable. I'm not sure of the range yet as the battery is still 'bedding in' but since my last charge it's done over 20 miles and lost just one bar. I would recommend this bike to anyone.

Tall, and doing the maths… 💕
When I bike commuted because I was putting off buying a car, I included gasoline and car insurance in my calculation. Paid off the e-bike in less than a year given those considerations. The good mood was a bonus.
I recently bought through Black Friday a VTUVIA SX20 antelope after test riding at an electrify expo convention. Amazing ride. Are you guys going to review VTUVIA?
Your costings are a bit off IMHO. At the end of the first year you own the bike, so you now have an asset so year two would be way cheaper
If I get a new place with a heated garage, your second choice is what I'd buy
Living in a hilly city in Switzerland, I've been loving seeing the increasing number of people zooping up the steep streets on their e-bikes. Certain streets, certain times of day, the bikers can go a kilometer in the time it takes a car to inch forward 100m. Personally, I'm still using 100% pedal power, but I've got also got an older bike that I'll convert to electric when the time is right. Between walking, riding, and taking public transport when it is too far or too wet, I can think of a grand total of two times in the last 5 years when I needed to bum a favor from a friend with a car, to help move some bulky piece of furniture. The insurance I haven't paid in those 5 years? The petrol? The parking? The tolls? The car payments? Gee whiz, I spent a few hundred for a folding bike, and about 40 for walking sticks, so getting rid of the car is a total no-brainer financially. As to the move to an electric bike, my daughter and I did a biking holiday on a couple of e-bikes in the Netherlands and it was a delightful week – anyone watching this video who is teetering on the edge, these things are so much better than your car, in terms of your personal satisfaction with how you move around town!
Great (re)cycling 😂😂😂 I can only agree with your choices, however I must slightly discuss the maths: 1, in London and (worse) Brussels and other cities, there is a congestion charge. Brussels is worse because the CC zone (they call it LEZ) goes al the way to "their" M25, and there is no way to avoid it — if one lives within the LEZ, they are charged as soon as they drive. So for that couple of million people, there are 3 choices: EV, public transport, or bicycle. Adding that the weather is not as sunny as your London videos.
2. Assuming one has the legs and the health to cycle to work, there is a maximum practical commuting distance. If you live in St. Albans, you're not going to commute to Canary Wharf just on the bike … so "some form" of public transport will need to be budgeted in. I understand that you can't calculate all the simulations without losing the room 🙂 we should probably make a "bike use case calculator" on your webpage based on start/end point, proportion of transport and last mile.
3. You're not going to like this one. Cycling requires a certain health. Fresh air means effin'freezing in the winter, and if one starts sneezing five days a week, their cycling to work isn't going to last long. And then there's the saddle … I know I'm always mentioning Manta Saddle (not affiliated) but especially for older boys, it's a concern. Before switching to commuting 100% on a bike, a medical check-up is wise, especially for over-50s.
Yeah I'm paying nearly a whole penny a mile these days for my fat eeb, it's like the SUV of Ebikes it is 😁
Dear electroheads team, amazing videos and super informative. I am just getting into the e bike space and there is not a single video on my category😢maybe you can give me a helping hand.
💪 I am looking for an e bike that is best suited for a kids carriage. Where safety, stopping and range will be important. Thanks and have a great day
Converted my Trek mtb with a Bafang mid drive and no longer need a car especially for the short journeys that I used to make. Already hit 1k miles in 3 months! 👍⚡⚡
In winter, best option is Car .
Who can ride a bike at -1 c ?
Buying an ebike I learnt that there are so many trade offs depending on your budget – power of the motor, battery, security etc.
Unfortunately these won't do my 32 mile commute on fast A roads but my OH could for her 2 mile but she is a nervous cyclist and the roads are only so so for cycling.
I was tempted by the mycycle classic for her and at £1k seemed worth a punt to see if she would opt to use it, while we were considering it they withdrew the thing from sale.
Bike 2 in this video looks an option but is much more expensive will there be some offers on this coming up?
I wish Electroheads would do an investigation into bad ebike companies. Leon cycles is one of them, they are banned from trading in the UK but still are trading and ripping people off. The CEO is up on fraud charges by the EU. I bought a bike from them in March and the battery died in October they are refusing to replace the battery saying they do not have any in stock. They refuse to honour warranty's -their reputation is shocking go to trust pilot and you will see what you mean. It damages the reputation of ebikes as i will never by an ebike again. I lost £900 which i cannot replace, the battery cannot be replaced on the open market, an I5 battery. The ones that are sold are only sold in the Australia and they do not ship to the UK – besides i just cannot afford to replace it. For the price ebikes are not worth it as the battery will only last 3-4 years. £1000 for a bike that last 3 years is shocking. The leon is selling bikes with the I5 battery is proof they have them in stock, now they are doing a Christmas sale in the UK. It seems Electroheads is not interested in stopping people from getting ripped off in the UK. Do not buy ebikes. https://www.leoncycle.co.uk/?https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/10681051/filing-history

So cool that you figured out the costs of riding an ebike.
I purchased a non road legal ebike, named the coswheel gt20, paid about 1200 pounds, it looks like a motor cycle has indicators, and cane even be registered as a road bike(it has a VIN) it only does 30mph but thats perfect for me, i have set it to act like a 250w ebike having it cut off at 15.5 Mph till i can get it licensed. The throttle i set to 5km(3mph) just so i can not get in trouble. I do ride it at 30mph still but for daily commuting into a busy city (manchester) i change everything down just so i can't get jn trouble. The manufacturer even put a 250w sticker on for me. (its truly 1500w) it has a massive 25ah 48v battery and gets me about (@15.5-20mph with pedalling) about 100-120miles range depending on hills, and other conditions. I only need to charge it once a week for commuting purposes(10 miles ecah way) (i charge it at work whenever not to get voltage sag) had it for 2 weeks and havent paid once for it to be charged. But if i did id get a week riding on 40 pence
