Chris here with the LanKhelesi mg600 plus so this is the second land Khaleesi bike that I
am covering now and I do happen to like this brand they build quality what they
offer seems to be quite good for a reasonable price although a little on the expensive side
this model is about 1800 Euros so we've got 26 inch sized Wheels they've got those four inch
wide fat tires on them so they're spongy tires that I'm only running about 11 PSI
NDS the max is 20 and it helps soak up a lot of little bumps and things we've got a front
shock here that has approximately 50 to 60 millimeters of travel you can lock it out at
the top and then we do have adjustable preload 2 with it so it's a hard tail there's no shock on
the rear but with these nice spongy fat tires that's not really too much of an issue we've
got a bike rack as you can see here now this bike rack it doesn't State the load capacity
but it should be somewhere around 15 to 10 kilos is normally standard for these we have
a rear tail light now this is a tail light that is uh reasonably bright too so good for added
safety and plastic mud guards as you can see now these mud guards they are secured in place quite
well so they do not rattle not even the front one either although you might sometimes hear actually
a little bit out of that one front headlight nice and Powerful too so it lights up The Path ahead
of you making nighttime riding just that little bit safer and with this model we've got a very
powerful rear hub motor so it's 1 000 watts and if you've got the unlocked version you can get up
to a maximum speed of about 46 kilometers per hour this one of course is locked down to 25 kilometers
per hour so it is a rehab motor that has got a lot of power really does help you out with the
climbs and we're looking at a seat post here that can lower right down and cater for Rider Heights
of a 160 to about 190 centimeters the gearing here we've got shimano's Altus very low ends
seven speed set up here and a painted chain the front crank here this has 52 teeth and it looks
like it's got a mid-mount motor the design of it here but in fact what is within there is just the
controller for our battery so the battery Bank located right here it's 20 amp hours they're
using brand cells too within it from Samsung and they claim you can get mileage of range that is up
to 150 kilometers I'm getting nowhere near that and I'll let you know at the end of this video
what I'm I'm able to achieve so it is locked into place this battery and you've got a key there two
of them they give you so you can remove it you can charge it either in the bike itself or take it out
and charge it in your home in your office if you wanted to do so now the seat here nice and wide
it's got plenty of padding to it and it does feel quite soft and comfortable so for brakes we've
got these 180 millimeter disc brakes hydraulic calipers and the brand of them is Diesel and I've
seen them before on the other Lan Khaleesi model that I did review and they do offer very solid
braking performance the kickstand no problems with it it does not rattle it seems to support
the weight of this bike which is very heavy of course it's 37 or 36 kilos really heavy and these
pedals they're not well go pedals but sunyan some sort of Chinese brand there they seem to be all
right made out of metal now the paint finish and the welds and everything to do with the frame is
looking excellent no problems nothing of concern I don't feel any Flex in the frame any areas that
could crack or anything the only part that does feel a little bit cheap is this plastic cover
that goes over where the controller is within the diesel and Brake levers these are adjustable have
a good feel to them being hydraulic a lot better than cable pool systems and here we have not a lot
grip but a standard just silicon one here now it doesn't seem to move about it is reasonably solid
but a little bit cheapier I wish they went with higher quality lock grips so I'll control it here
to turn it on and off obviously up and down the pedal assist levels there are five in total we've
got our info screen that you can cycle through this is to turn the light on and if you press
and hold this there is a walk function as well which does come in handy since this is a very
heavy bike to push up a hill weighing around about 36 kilos so The Handlebar is height adjustable you
can raise it up or down now if you need to know the dimensions of this bike please check out the
link in the description that will take you over to the website where you'll find all of that info
then on the right we have our twist throttle style so it's a lot like say a moped or a scooter and it
will just go straight away if you have it on and in a pedal assist level now it originally out of
the box comes disabled but I've enabled it here just for the purposes of this video I'll disable
it again later on and we have our gear selectors this is to go down the gears and up the gears is
right here typical Shimano it does work well and I don't really have any problems with it even if it
is entry level the cassette and the gears that we do have from Shimano and I'll screen here with all
of our informations displayed nice and clearly although I wish it was a little brighter it's
quite reflective too so we have our battery gauge at the top here each one of the bars represents
20 there are five bars of course there we've got our speed pedal assist level and then I'll
trip information right here down the bottom the mg600 plus does have a attachment point here for
a front basket that is sold separately but it's an option if you did want that and then on to riding
the mg600 plus what is it like well it's got a large frame it's very comfortable and because
it's got this step through very easy to get onto the bike too now the size of it I think it's going
to cater for a lot of people because the seat can be lowered as I showed you before reasonably low
and The Handlebar height can be adjusted so where I've got it now I'm in an upright position so it's
using a speed sensor not a torque sensor when you start to Pedal it detects that
and you can get up to 25 kilometers per hour now I do have the throttle enabled originally with the
EU version it was disabled but I unlocked that so I can just give that a Twist on the throttle there
and I don't even need to Pedal at all so it is a very cruisy bike just riding along here
really comfortable nice big spongy fat tires soaking up everything although this around here
is very smooth at the moment now the Shimano gears those seven gears there very good with the changes
no problems as long as that derailleur hasn't been knocked in the Box you shouldn't have any issues
because the factory does align them so the top speed will be limited depending on your region
so if you've got the US version I believe that is unlocked but this eu1 is locked down to 25
kilometers per hour so it is quite hard to Pedal over 25 kilometers per hour with these tires with
the weight of the bike it's only downhill but I can comfortably ride up to 30 kilometers per hour
so coming up to the climb test spot here I don't have any concerns about this not
being able to climb this particular climb which is about 20 degrees 20 25 in patches
because we've got a thousand watt motor here now I am peddling and I am in the sixth gear
sorry fourth gear here and this is just doing it really no problems at all down to about 18
kilometers now I could start peddling which I will do now and then just use the throttle
even adjust the throttle power I'm able to climb up this 18 kilometers per hour so it's got plenty
of power now if you do have the unlocked version then you'll be just rocketing up this you won't
be going at 18 kilometers per hour you'll probably be doing about 25 30 even there
my braking test from approximately 30 kilometers per hour we've got 180 mil disc brakes hydraulic
good breaks okay we made it to just past this post here so that isn't the best breaking performance I
have seen it's a heavier bike but no these brakes are very good they're solid great bite to them
as well they took about 15-20 kilometers to bed in to achieve their maximum braking performance
and what about a little bit of off-roading just light stuff here it does well again because
of the nice spongy four inch Fat Tires taking up a lot of this light rock here
making the ride pretty smooth now I've got a big drop here at the end
if you had to handle it just find this bike
it's done a really good job going over this and here we go the drop
not bad at all then onto our range LanKhaleesi's claim with this spike is a little over exaggerated
I feel because they say 150 kilometers range out of a single charge from the 20 amp hour battery
but I'm not getting close to that I'm getting around about 100 110 maybe because every battery
bar that I lose I cover around 20 21 sometimes 18 kilometers which is very good now aided by the
fact that of course we've got 26 inch size wheels here and with the fat tires on them they come out
to be almost like a 29 inch size wheel and do remember that when I ride over 25 kilometers
per hour it's not using the motor there and it depends of course on your Rider weight the climbs
you're doing but the range is excellent very very good here with this particular model I'm able to
achieve over 100 kilometers on a single charge there but 150 I just don't see that being possible
so there's a lot of things I like about this bike the finish the frame the look of it too as well
the comfort of riding this it's excellent upright riding position it's very cruisy very smooth very
comfortable ride braking performance is good the front shock I made an error before I said it was
about 60 I think millimeters to our 80 millimeters it's more like 80 to 100 millimeters of travel
with the front shock looking at the grease marks on it and yes it looks a lot cleaner now this is
another day of me shooting here I've washed the bike I got all the dust off it for some of the the
b-roll shots that I was taking before the gears fine no problems they're nothing amazing but they
don't great gears they're not misaligned I have really no issues we've got the bike rack very good
lights on this bike here and you have the throttle if that is legal for you which it isn't for me
so I'm going to go back to disabling this now of course the cons of the bike then is the price tag
it's a little pricey you do get a slightly better bike definitely compared to others I've covered
but it's around 1800 Euros 1900 euros so that is expensive about 200 almost sorry 2000 US Dollars
the other is of course the obvious one the weight this style of bike is always going to be heavy
especially all that extra reinforcing they've put in the frame around here for this style a
frame being a step through it's 37 36 kilos so it's a big heavy bike it won't be for everyone
for that well thank you so much for watching my review here of the land Khaleesi mg600 Plus
