In France, e-bikes can’t (legally) run without you pedaling and the motor is just here as an assistance to your muscles, and the maximum speed is 19mph. Still it is a great fun to ride !

Your bike is squirlly because its back heavy, put a rack on the front and put weight in it to solve your problem.

the electric bike is a great addition. i am 67 and bought a Fido T1 a year ago, i am back to riding several times a week now just for fun. the CIGS panel is my next addition but it will take a while to free up over 500 dollars. i have been using my jackery 240 and the ac charger to fuel up my bike for the last year. You also noticed the full on throttle issue, this is the only thing i dont like about my electric bike and as far as i have been able to find out none of the others offer a variable power throttle, only power assist levels.

All well and good, Dave. Now do it with hills. ; ) Many moons ago I was what I guess would be called a hard core cyclist (NOT biker, thankyou); several extended tours, fairly high level racing, fulltime commuting ( and in the NE US too). But it's pretty hilly were I live and over time, now in my 60s, I lost interest in every ride going into physical crisis mode because of the climbs. I just wanted a nice tooling about in the countryside. Last year though I picked up a pristine, gently used, Trek Domane+ LT (e-assisted bike) and my life has certainly changed. My easiest loop of 18 miles still had 1200' of climbing but now with an assist (and well-deserved, I'd say) I can buzz through it, still working hard, but not approaching cardiac arrest. The Domane+ engine and battery are all contained in the down tube and are connected to a transmission in the bottom bracket, so the 3 levels of assist come through the pedals. If you don't pedal, you don't go no where. And it rides just like any other high end racing or touring bike I've ever owned. 50 mph downhills, no problem. Your squirreliness at high speeds is mostly because your tires weren't meant for it. They're knobby dirt tires and frankly I wouldn't be pushing those speeds on those tires. But they can probably be replaced with a less aggressively treaded tire that would be far more stable at road speeds, and still be adequate with the gentle offroading it looks like you have. if that was your inclination. Thanks much for the video, very enlightening.

Very useful video told me what I needed to know thanks

Yes it was, have ordered myself a system for my Engwe EP-2 Pro 😊

Very cool. Like you I've been skeptical on the uses. Maybe there are some good use cases (aside from just being fun!). Thanks for sharing!

👍👍👍

Wonder if it will charge while active. You could ride with a solar panel on your back.

Awesome, 60 miles is awesome. Can you share a test without no pedals?

I beleive you aren't supposed to roll / fold CIGS panels "solar side in", though.

Is it heavy to ride? Is peddling a lot harder when there’s no charge?

People don't buy that solar controller unless you have no clouds or birds or anything that will shade the panel's momentary because it spends most of the day resetting not charging

How many watts consumed per mile?

At 5:35 "The power assist continues for about a second after you stop pedaling". Which means that that bike, and all the other electric bikes with the same "management" is just garbage, and obviously very dangerous

HOWdy P-w-E-D, ... Electric BIKE Thanks COOP the WiSeNhEiMeR from Richmond, INDIANA ...
