Hi Chris here taking a look at another e-bike and i've got with me a fat wheeled one so the four
inch wide tyres 20 inch rims this particular model here is called the engine pro now it does have a
claim range of around 70 kilometers top speed of 45 kilometers per hour and i'll be testing out
the range the top speed i'll go over the build and the design of this one so it does have hydraulic
disc brakes front and rear it's foldable so it folds in half the handlebars they also come down
and the motor that is in this is 750 watts for 60 newton meters of torque the battery capacity
it's 12.8 amp hours and it does take around about five to six hours to fully charge this model
so of course we've got those iconic chunky four inch wide 20 inch tires now these ones
you don't have to pump up that much only just to 20 psi maximum so they do absorb
quite a lot of shocks in the road and they make off-roading a little bit easier as you
can see we do have a sturdy kickstand and logan hydraulic brakes with 160 millimeter discs both
rear and front now front shock here is a no brand one it has approximately two and a half
inches of travel and it's definitely better than nothing it soaks up a lot of the bumps
the rear shock offers about an inch of travel just over and it's good to have this their other
model that they have doesn't have the rear shock here you're probably wondering why is there a key
hanging down here that's because there is a lock in here to lock the battery in place which is
removable i just haven't taken the spare one off so the key is in there it's in the on position
so you can manually have it turned off remove the key and it locks that battery into place too
so there's a little weatherproof cap that goes over where the little plug is for charging it now
charge times about five to six hours for the 12.8 amp hour battery and you see we do have a red tail
light which is great to have but it's not very bright it also does include a reflector and we
have a bike rack now they do sell a bag for this bike rack if you're interested that you can fit
a few extra things into that to carry a little bit of cargo around for example they're shopping
whatever so the seat post that can be dropped right down nice and low to cater for five foot
ten people and right up to 6.5 it goes up very high and the handlebars they are also adjustable
and then for our gears here we've got shimano altas and this is an eight-speed setup and our
pedals these are well go branded ones they're foldable and they're made out of metal so far no
problems with these at all front and rear mudguard so that means that this is going to be ideal for
climates where it's wet a lot and you'll be riding perhaps in the rain or through a few puddles
the front headlight is powerful enough to light up the path ahead of us at night
and we do have a reflector as well that you can put on that's optional it's included in the box
and then similar to what i've seen on other bikes here we've got the latch so there's a
little security in here that keeps it in place to make sure it's not going to pop it out then you
just simply pull that open and you can fold the bike in half now this is for just really storing
it away or for example getting it into the trunk or boot of a car and it does allow us to then slot
out the removable battery which is right here so you can charge it in the bike or completely out
of the bike it's up to you and i had on bars they fold down too so there's just as little security
here you need to lift that up you pop the lever down and the whole handlebars will drop right down
and this again aids us in stowing the bike away just halving the height of it now our display
here is one of the best things that i like about this bike it's very large so we can see our speed
the wattage and you've got your different modes there so going up and down you can go from mode
one right up to five now mode one will vary too on the speed we get out of the accelerator right
here so yes it's on the left side the accelerator and there's a horn well a buzzer it's quite loud
this right here is our rear brake we have our front brake over here this is to go up down the
gears this one and up the gears and you can cycle through here too a different mode so pressing the
i you can see then i'll max speed so i've done 40 kilometers maximum so far 11 is my average speed
and right here the time that i've been riding so that's 19 minutes so far and i've done
16 kilometers that's the odometer there's also trip right here so i'll be testing out that range
and i'll give you the exact kind of range you can get because so far i've only lost four percent
battery for 16 kilometers which is really good but i've been riding well mostly on the flat
with a few large climbs there's also this which is our light so you can mainly turn the light on
or off the front headlight and the red tail light however there's a sensor in this screen so when
the ambient light is well dark enough it will automatically turn on the lights which is very
handy and i'll see it's very large comfortable we get about an inch or so of padding and so far
riding on it i do think that most people are going to be happy with this seat and probably won't
change it out now if you want it even softer you could put one of those large seats on that have
the springs on them but i think what they've gone with here it's efficient enough for most people
and what's it like to ride so when you start pedaling it takes a few seconds then you feel that
motor kick in depends on what pedal level you're in what kind of power and top speed you're going
to get out of the motor so if you're riding on zero which is nothing you can definitely feel it
now the gear changes these are very smooth i've had no problems going through the gears they have
not been doing any mischanges or grating of the gears nothing like that so it's quite good there
so put on to level one here is going to help me a little bit up this but really level two
is probably needed for this now what i like about this spike here is the handlebars are very high
so you're riding in this upright position and i've got plenty of room here for my knees
there's no way they're gonna strike the handlebars at all
and how does it handle the rough stuff so i've got a few little drops up here now these fat four inch
wide wheels they soak up so many bumps and they do smoothen out the ride now the suspension seems to
work well even though it's a no brand suspension it is doing the job soaking up some of these bumps
i've got a bit of a curb here and you can pop up their front wheel and well i just bang straight
up it and the suspension can handle that and this climb only a short climb here very easy with the
750 watt motor but i'll check it out now on a big serious steep climb how it's going to handle it
so this is the spot where i test out all the e-bikes and these scooters and it's about a 25-30
degree gradientless climb and i think with a heavy bike like this one probably going to have to pedal
the motor is only 60 newton meters the maximum torque it outputs but let's see how it fares
i'm just using the accelerator right now to start out here with this climb and it's struggling we're
losing speed now down to nine kilometers per hour so the 750 watt motor with 60 meters of torque
really does need you to pedal on such steep climbs so now i'm pedaling i'm in the second gear
and away we go this is not that difficult so it can do this climb but yes
you certainly do need to pedal a little bit now you can hear some squeaking that's actually coming
from the seat i've tightened the seat up but it still wants to squeak which is really annoying
now my braking performance test so i'm going to go down here get up to about 30 kilometers per
hour and test out the brakes so the hydraulic brakes 160 millimeter discs pretty standard
so we're up to now 20 kilometers i'll get to 30 which should be about now and full-on breaks
doesn't break too bad there you got plenty of pressure and the front wheel certainly
has a lot of grip with those knobbly tires and the front suspension helps out
with the braking pressure there so i'd rate these brakes as as average they're
they're sufficient enough for a heavy bike like this
and just up ahead here i've got quite rough crazy paving how are the wheels going to
handle this and the suspension well it's doing a pretty good job of soaking up all these bumps
you can probably see handlebars are bouncing around all over the place but with those fat
wheels it certainly does make this a lot easier than a lot of those e-bikes that i review that
have just the skinny 20-inch wheels or even the 14-inch ones which are quite bumpy along this road
and i've made it now to the end of las rota's beautiful spot here in the
mediterranean coast of spain the ride so far has been very good it's such a
cruisy bike the upright position with the high handlebars i actually do like
okay so what about the range now that's very important the battery gauge is a little misleading
a lot of the time it will drop down to 90 and then it will bounce back up to 100 and show me that i'd
done well 19 20 kilometers or 16 kilometers and not lost any battery at all which is that's
misleading because really it's about 80 there so you're looking around 50 to 60 kilometers range
with a few climbs that i'm able to get that is however on the pedal assist mode three four and
sometimes five that i was using if you're just going to be using it in what is the basic moped
mode just accelerating using the accelerating here then expect that to only be about 20 kilometers
it's going to really burn through it it gets the best range when you are also pedaling of course
now as i pointed out with the steep climbs you will have to put a little bit of pedal power
into it it's not going to be able to just to get you up there without pedaling at all
if you use just the motor again accelerating eventually if it's steep enough the speed will
drop right down and you're taking a huge hit on the battery too there so i wouldn't really do
that battery charge time is five to six hours it's removable and of course the bike does fold in half
the handlebars come down and it's not something i would be doing a lot of is folding it down because
it's very heavy so you can yes as i showed you fit it into the boot of a car but wow it is around 30
kilos the weight of this so it's really quite heavy now that motor 750 watts got about 60 newton
meters of torque not the most powerful i've come across but it does do a very good job can get you
up to 45 kilometers per hour if you're pedaling away if you're just using pedal assist mode number
five and then the accelerator if you're flat you've got a long stretch you should be able to
reach then up to around 35 40 kilometers that will top out at the gears i've had not had any problems
with them even though the gears are basic shimano altas here they're nothing high-end they change
their crisp the movement of them and i haven't had it great gears or any problems like that breaking
performance is not too bad i was expecting a little bit worse but the hydraulic brakes seem
to do a decent job and we've got the 160 mil discs front braking because of the extra wide tires with
the knobbly tires on it i do find that does aid in our braking performance especially from the front
with the front shock so no brand shocks on this it's normally what you're going to get around this
price grouping so we have about two and a half to almost possibly three inches of travel from
the front shock you can lock it out completely which is good it is adjustable and definitely
better than nothing the rear shock it's got about an inch of travel and it does an okay job
it's better than nothing again having the shocks the tires themselves will soak up a lot of bumps
because well they're the fat tyres four inch wide if you run a lower psi so it's about 20 maximum if
you run only about say 18 or 17 you can soak up a few little more bumps there now we do have the
bike rack you can get a bag for that and the rear tail light is one of my complaints here i don't
like it that much because it's not very bright it's very dull it should have a much brighter led
and i hope they can swap that out for something a little better the front headlight is good and i do
like the fact it's got both of the lights there so what are the other things they don't like about it
well there are apart from the weight too it's very heavy there are a few creaks coming out of the
seat i've tightened it up but it's still creaking the mud guards which are made out of metal
they do occasionally rattle around or vibrate a little bit from the motor the motor makes a bit
of noise the tires are quite noisy with the road noise as you can imagine if you're on the road
those knobbly tires it definitely makes a better noise there so this is the engine pro thank you so
much for watching my review here hope you did like it do subscribe for more upcoming videos
from me because i will be covering another couple of e-bikes this month so do stay tuned for those
