That’s right… this little folding E-bike has a UK LEGAL throttle! 🤯
Join me as I hit the streets of London to test out the Pedibal Navigata MKII, taking it on and off public transport, climbing steep hills and finding out it’s real world range 🚴🏻♀️💨

Is she saying pedafile or pedalfile or pedobile or the rolfharris5000 ??
I'm 6 ft 5 and looking to buy a e bike with fat tyres what would you suggest I take a look at and probably look to test
Hello mam
Are you looking for a professional youtube thumbnail designer ?
thanks
Hey Eilis, episode idea. Open All Hours Granville delivery bike. They have electric milk delivery on that TV show, Granville needs electric assistance, too!
Too expensive for what it is.
Could have added the throttle as standard, not as an extra, would sell more i reckon
I would love to ride that bike.
What a cheaply made piece of rubbish…Can't see that lasting long in UK weather…Ha!!
Nice one, interesting test. it’s a silly state of affairs when each individual identical bike has to be tested, such a waste of dvsa time.
It's sensible to offer this service, until the Labour party decide if they're ever going to do anything useful and make scooters and throttle e-bikes legal.
I got the E Cruiza after seeing your vid because my daughter has knee issues and can’t really pedal for very long. Couple of teething issues, but great company to deal with and we’ve done getting on for 800 miles since May between us.
I prefer a key instead of that red button to turn on/off the power.. That bike is so light someone could run off with it. The fact that it has no keys means they could just press that button and ride off into the sunset. Btw, Great way to drain the battery. Hill climbs on throttle only.
A positive step but the limit should be 20mph. 15.5mph causes social isolation for people who need an e-bike when they ride with others, additionally 20mph matches the lower speed limit in many urban areas…. Passing someone doing 15.5mph in an urban environment is difficult and the time taken by a legal car pass creates additional hazards.
This isn't the first UK legal folding throttle bike. Wisper have been selling one for years called the Wisper 806 full throttle.
Not the first folding electric bike to be legally offered with a throttle… Wisper has offered it as an option for years.
I was watching a guy from the US, who owns a bike shop. He said that many bike shops are reluctant to repair eBikes, because of the parts availability. apparently it's difficult to get spares from China, and no one in the US stocks the spares, so I assume that goes for the UK too.
Wow I didn't expect you to look so Sexyhot! In this review! which was actually very good !
This just shows how rediculous the EPAC Law is in the UK
If I hadn't already got this bike, I would be ordering it this minute. I have watched a lot of Electroheads reviews about various e-folders (thanks! – helpful) and then did my own research and ended up with Navigata Cite. "Love it" is an understatement, it is so well thought-out e-bike, even if mine is only MK1 version with a throttle. I am about to use it for my commute in London. My real life range has been around 45km in PAS level 3 with a bit of throttle on average, no massive hills but not flat either, and up to 55km when keeping it strictly to PAS 1-2 level. The battery 9.6AH is the same as ADO air 20 I believe, which Ellis also did a review on and gave real life range too (believe it was ~51km on high assist and ~60km on flattish assist, so this should be similar). In any case, Navigata Cite has the benefit of a throttle and 7 gears versus belt drive, I need this in the hilly parts of London. The customer service has been second to none. I had questions after the purchase and Pedibal answered everything in detail and with the patience. I am not associated with Pedibal in any way, I am simply one very happy customer.
I bought the first model of the Navigata CITe, I wish it had the puncture resist tyres and sprung seat because I have had it on some really rough tracks round here in the Lake District, some that are really very rough with loose stones, and one was quite steep but used the throttle only option without any problems. I needed the throttle version due to health problems to get me places I couldn't normally get to, I have a drone channel on YT and this bike has allowed me to get some amazing videos that I wouldn't have been able to get without it, I must admit it doesn't disappoint. I know it's not what they were designed for but I recommend them to anyone with health problems that have difficulty peddling a normal bike. And it folds really nice and fits into the boot. In the spring I will pop it into Halfords and get a couple of puncture resit tyres.
Aside from the display and haptic feedback, isn’t this just the same design as a lot of folding ebikes? Carrera Crosscity comes to mind, as do several other similar models.
engl little thugs locals will steal it.. 😅
How fucked up nanny state lefty wank liberal is Britain that having a throttle on an ebike is only now legal with special paperwork.
No wonder UK has been in decline decade after decade.
looking so nice xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx wow fit
Interstingly my previous comment was removed as I suggested you could get buy more for less…..make your own mind up guys.
To repeat DO NOT BUY you can buy cheaper better. (Read before removed)

When the police are busy fighting crime by pulling over commuters riding to work they will probably pull you over for not pedalling. You are then in the unfortunate position of trying to explain your bicycle is legal to a corrupt power mad idiot who will probably nick you out of spite for daring to question that he/she/they don't know the actual law properly. Maybe by lying that they can smell cannabis or accusing you of being a terrorist. Or lie that you went through a red light. The bent copper's possibilities are endless.
Looks very well thought through. I can no longer bend my knee enough to pedal, so a throttle is essential. It looks ideal for getting onto public transport and car boots too. Would it still be legal, if the gears etc were removed? Possibly saving weight and cost.
