Hey, what’s up? Sami here.
Today I’m very excited to introduce the latest e-bike series from Eleglide:
The Eleglide T1 and T1 Step-thru trekking e-bikes, or touring e-bikes,
as some of you guys would call them.
This series of e-bikes lets you pack your bag and go with the least worry so you can
have more quality time with your family.
I’ve been with them for some days now and here is my review.
I’ve already done an unboxing and assembly video a month ago, you can check it out from
the link on the screen here.
Basically, it’s just like many other e-bikes I’ve assembled, there is nothing special
you need to be paying extra attention to.
If you are new to this kind of e-bike I suggest you follow the instructions step by step,
they have a very detailed multiple-language manual so you won’t get it wrong.
Regarding the design, I think the Eleglide T1 series is one of those few e-bikes that
really wowed me.
It looks just modern, elegant, and premium.
Both bikes feature two large CST 20-inch large tires, each with a mechanical disc brake.
The rear tire sports a 250w motor, enabling you to reach a max speed of 25km/h.
The 3.5” LCD screen is one of the largest I’ve seen on an e-bike.
It clearly shows you the speed, battery info, and mode etc. even under direct sunlight.
The two e-bikes come with 7-gear Shimano derailleurs, which is not a surprise
as many middle-to-high-end bikes would offer this.
Two bikes come with a removable battery, this is a feature that everyone wants.
And of course, for touring e-bikes, how can we miss the rack.
You can put different bags there whenever you go out camping or shopping.
Since they are priced differently, you might wonder
what’s the difference between the two.
First of course is the design, the T1 Step-thru is as the name suggests
coming with this Step-thru design.
It’s extremely easy to get on and off, especially for riders that don't have a complete range of motion,
and is particularly great for older riders or riders who have a difficult time
lifting their leg over a traditional bike frame.
There is an adjustable stem on the Step-thru, so whenever you want to adjust the handlebars
to have a more comfortable position, you can.
Another difference is the Step-thru comes with the Selle Royal saddle,
that’s a big brand. You pay more, get more, right?
Those are the big differences, others stay almost the same.
For more info about the Eleglide T1 series, you can find out from the link in the description.
Now about my riding experience.
The 20’ tires worked well at absorbing some bumps in the road.
I felt comfortable and stable on those well-maintained city roads.
And thanks to its dual shock absorption design on the front forks, it’s smooth to ride
on some high-impact or rough terrain like grassland
and mountain trails.
And since both wheels are fitted with a good quality mechanical disc brake, you can basically
instantly stop it at any time, any situation you want, pretty safe.
Overall, it’s a fun experience to ride around and we enjoyed it a lot.
Now my conclusion for the Eleglide T1 series.
For me, there is a lot going for these e-bikes.
I like the elegant and beautiful design.
The rack is useful, perfect for short city journeys.
Sometimes we just want to enjoy a short good picnic in an afternoon,
we can simply pack and go.
The battery is awesome, both bikes offer an incredible battery life.
If on pure electric mode, the range would be 50km and if on assist mode,
the max range reaches 100km.
Most importantly, the battery is removable, so you can always charge it on-the-go or buy
extra batteries to get more range.
And the riding experience is fun, smooth, and safe.
Btw, if you have difficulty choosing the T1 or the T1 Step-thru, my suggestion is if you
are mostly using the bike to commute, and especially if you have to wear formal attire
that may not be as flexible, this can include a men’s suit or women’s dress or skirt,
then go get the Step-thru, it allows you to get on and off the bike with ease and without
breaking a sweat.
If want to enjoy a more cycling experience, then the T1 is a great choice.
Either way, you are going to love this lightweight, stylish, and well-performing Eleglide T1 series.
It’s worth the money as a car replacement for city dwellers whether to enjoy short journey
traveling or a daily commute.
You know what to do.
Thanks for watching.
I’m Sami and I will see you in the next one.
