what's happening everyone my name is Alex and welcome back in today's video we are checking
out the latest electric bicycle from Eleglide the one that we have here at least it's called the
Tankroll and I'm going to start by saying that I absolutely love the way this bike looks anywhere
you take this bike people just turn their heads and look at you because the bike does look very
unique of course that has a lot to do the massive wheels that we have on the back and of course on
the front so these are 26 inch wheels and we also get four inch wide tires so that's how
you get this unique look I'm gonna see because of the Massive Tires so this bike is powered by
a 750 watt motor that's in the rear wheel here and according to manufacturer on one charge you
can get up to 70 kilometers of range but we'll talk more about that later on in the video okay
so let's start a bit of an unboxing just so I can show you how the bike comes in the box and what
you have to do so you can get this on the road all right so as you'd expect the bike comes in
a pretty massive box obviously because the bike itself is pretty big and the boxes also pretty
heavy the bike itself weighs 38 kilos so yes this is a heavy bike so you're not going to be able to
carry this bike around so you do have to do a bit of an installation when you first take the
bike out of the box you basically have to put a front wheel together and The Handlebar I'm gonna
see that putting this together takes about 25 minutes so about 25 minutes and then you can be
ready and out on the road all right so taking a look at the bike well first of all the frame on
this one is a bit different than other similar bikes that I got to try in the past so bikes
that have these fat tires as they're called so I kind of love the way the battery pack is in
the frame here because it doesn't stick out and the bike looks a bit sleeker since this is also
on an angle here it is a bit easier to go on the bike because with other bikes the frame kind of
goes at this level but with this one you can easily climb on top of it so I like that about
um this particular bike the battery pack also has a lock right here so you can take that out and
you can also lock it and unlock it unfortunately that lock doesn't have anything to do with the
ignition so you can just power this on from this button here all right so on the back here we have
a mod car this is made out of plastic I'm glad to see that it doesn't make any noise even if
you go over uneven terrain and The Scene goes for the front mud guard I also forgot to mention that
you have to install this when you take the bike out of the box but this one doesn't make any
noise either there is also a front suspension that gets about two and a half inches of travel
now this is not the most travel that I've seen on a bike but this will definitely help when you go
over bumps and stuff like that now because we do have these Massive Tires on the front and on the
back there this will also soak up a lot of the bumps in the roads so the suspension is there
it will definitely help but the tires will take most of the bumps on the road and will keep the
ride as comfortable as possible talking about the Comforts so the seat here doesn't have that
much padding I have to say that I'm not a fan of this seat of course you can move this up and
down but after you ride for about half an hour on it because it is fairly hard you do get a bit
uncomfortable since you are talking about Comfort whenever you are riding this bicycle you're gonna
notice that the riding position is not totally straight so you do have to kind of lean on the
handle bottom here for a bit so after a longer period of riding you will feel some pressure on
in your arms so I wish the handlebar would have been slightly higher I think this would have been
the perfect riding position but like this you do have to kind of lean on The Handlebar here and it
can become uncomfortable depending on your body of course on your strength and so on the bike has
a seven gear Shimano shifter system and shifting in between gears is done flow flawlessly I haven't
really noticed any problems when I'm shifting up or shifting down so very smooth shifting
now because we do have seven gears you can also ride this without the battery packs so if you
don't use any power for example or if you don't want to use that 750 watt motor that we have on
the back you can just ride the bicycle just like a regular bicycle the bike also has mechanical disc
brakes on the front and on the back and I'm just gonna turn the bike around so you can see this
these are 160 millimeter disc brakes now the braking power on it is pretty good I can't really
say that it doesn't break up good but I did notice that the brakes do squeak slightly here and there
not all the time bottom you will hear some brakes squeaking every so often but overall the braking
power from it um is pretty good the kickstand is made out of a combination of plastic and metal and
it is pretty sturdy so whenever you have the bike on the kickstand it doesn't seem to fall even if
it's windy it's quite um quite secure on that um kickstand the pedals here are not foldable
and they are made out of plastic however I do like the quality of the plastic that they used
for the pedals moving on to the front of the bike so here we have the headlights the headlight is
bright enough so you can ride at night so it will light up The Path ahead of you pretty well but for
daytime riding well it depends how bright it is outside you may not necessarily really see that
very well as for the back well we do not have a light on the back and I find that the bit well sad
I'm gonna see because I do like having a light on the back of the bike I think it makes a difference
when you're riding at night so you may have to buy your own taillight if you do need a light for the
rear on the other side of the handle bar when you first take the bike out of the box you're gonna
find the grip that's identical to the one on the left hand side but you also get a couple of grips
that you can replace so you can replace the one on on the right here with one that has a throttle
now depending where you're located you may not be allowed to have a throttle on an electric
bike I changed mine so I can see how it works so yes if you don't wanna pedal at all you can
basically Accelerate from here and lastly in the center here we have the screen the screen is isn't
visible even in direct sunlight so you can ride the bike during the day in direct sunlight and
you can still see the screen and here the screen will show you how much battery you have the speed
that you're doing the mode that you are in and of course how many kilometers some you've done moving
on to power and range well I find the 750 watt motor that we have here to have plenty of power
for any situation so it doesn't matter if you're riding on a flat surface or if you're going uphill
of course you're gonna have to lower the gears a bit if you're going uphill but the bike has plenty
of power there was really no situation or no Hill where I felt that I don't have enough power so a
lot a lot of power from that motor that we have on the back now the manufacturer says that you can
get up to 70 kilometers of range on one charge now of course that will be in ideal situations
ideal conditions I'm gonna say so in real life and if you're heavier if you write the up hills
you're probably going to get somewhere around 30 kilometers on one charge but as I said that will
depend on the terrain that you are riding because if you are doing mostly flat surfaces you're not
that heavy you don't go the top speed of course you're gonna get more like 50 maybe 60 kilometers
but if you ride more uphill and such it will be around 30 kilometers alright so next I'm gonna
take you on a short ride I want to show you how the bike rides how it sounds how it climbs Hills
and how it functions basically so let me grab that camera and we'll go for a ride all right so
let me show you how this works quickly so we have the power button right here you hold this press
for about three seconds and then the bike comes on I'm not sure if you can actually see the screen on
the camera so from this button here we're gonna switch mods we're gonna go in mode number three
so with this one you can accelerate you can start moving by moving the throttle here or you can
start pedaling so let me first show you how this works if you Accelerate from the throttle here
and then it goes like this or
you can start pedaling and then the bike will give you power as soon as
it figures out that you're pedaling so let me show you how that works
so as soon as you start pedaling you will hear the engine kicking
in so let me switch some gears so you can see how that works
so the shifter is very smooth No One issues with it whatsoever
but as I said earlier the brakes are a bit squeaky so let me do a brake test
we'll go a bit quicker
so we'll do a break test around here
so this Unbreaking but I just don't like that squeakiness
alright so next I want to take you uphill for a second we'll turn somewhere around here
and there is a hill somewhere around here we're gonna switch to the second gear and mode number
four so to change modes is super simple you accelerate uh press the plus or the minus button
so our Hill starts somewhere around here if I remember right
so that's the hill it is pretty steep as you can see but you will see the bike does really
really well going uphill so you don't really have to put that much effort into pedaling
so really no issues going uphills and this is a pretty steep hill
as well and I love the fact that the motor is not that loud either
so I guess we'll stop somewhere around here and we'll head backwards
so yeah the brakes are a bit on the squeaky side
but they do work good aside from the squeakiness
do you have it this is a super quick look at the Ella Glide tank roll a bike that looks really
good it's also quite powerful it's also very well built I haven't noticed any squeaks any Creeks or
anything like that so I do love the build quality on this bike my only complaint about this bike
is the seat I wish the seat would have been a bit more comfortable but again you can easily replace
the seat and if the handlebar here would have been adjustable in height would have been ideal
so there you have it this is the LG light Tango
thanks for watching and I'll see you guys in the next one
