this is the Lan Khaleesi mg 740 plus it's a huge heavy monster of an e-bike with twin 1000 watt
Motors now you can either select them to be just rear wheel drive front-wheel drive or use both
at the same time for maximum acceleration now if you have an unlocked unit this can go up
to 50 kilometers per hour top speed but my one is locked down to 25 kilometers per hour so we've got
26 inch size tires and they are four inches wide so the fat tires of course nice and spongy they
soak up a lot of the bumps especially when you're running around Rocky stuff that I am currently
doing today and they are from a company called Chao Yang they're either Chao Yang the brand or
Kinder so we have Diesel and hydraulic disc brakes here they are 180 millimeters these ventilated
disc brakes and they're quite powerful later on you'll see with my braking test they certainly
do well paired up with of course the knobbly tread pattern of these four inch wide fat tires
this is a hardtail bike no rear suspension it doesn't really need it with those fat tires and
our front shock here no brand to it really well it's their own land Khaleesi it has adjustable
preload we can also lock out this shock completely and for travel well I'm getting approximately 50
millimeters according to the grease Mark here with some of the big drops that I have done
around here for a non-branded shock it seems to be all right and it's doing this its job so far
good with the mg740 plus you get this four LED headlight now I have seen this model in quite a
few different Chinese e-bikes that I've covered over the years and it is powerful it does light
up The Path ahead of you and I quite like it there's a little reflector below it and we do
not have a rear tail light the battery is huge as you can see this is 20 amp hours and it does take
about five to six hours to fully charge it it has a main switch right here and there's this little
dust proof cap that goes over where I'll charge Port is this removable battery is locked into
place and you just simply need to insert the key of course turn that and that then can be removed
you just slide it up like so and then it comes right out it even does have its own powered USB
port if you need to charge up your phone in an emergency so the bike is using shimano's Altus
that's just one up from the absolute bottom level there with Shimano the chain is a Marvel Brand one
and our cassette here is from Shimano we do have seven gears so the bike does have these
plastic mud guards that it comes with now they are rather cheap and the annoying thing about them is
that they move about quite a bit when you're riding especially around Rocky kind of terrain
like where I am at the moment and you'll find the mud guards will slap up against the frame and the
tire that's quite annoying I don't even really need them for my climate here because it barely
rains now according to land Khaleesi it can take ride a weight of 180 kilos that is huge and the
seat here well it can go up to 100 centimeters and drop down to 85 in its lowest position thankless
he opted for a very wide seat that does have a lot of padding to it it's very comfortable and
helps soak up some of those bumps but the tires really do most of the work so our pedals that we
do have they're not well go pedals but they are a metal alloy pedal and they seem to be okay so far
and you will see that we can adjust up The Handlebar height if you needed to do so to drop
it down a little or raise it up these Dyson levers do feel quite good being of course hydraulic a lot
better than cable pull systems the feel of them and the levers are adjustable too you have an
adjustment then we have this so obviously we've got our power on up and down those pedal assist
levels there are five in total this is to turn on that front headlight and there is even a walk
mode too if you hold this down the bike will just move ahead slowly that is to help you push it if
you have to do that after you climb off the bike and push it along it really does help out and I
see that with a lot of mountain bikes including my Trek rail 5 that I own this is our information to
cycle through the trip computer then on the right we've got our all too common selector here for our
seven gears so this is to go down the gears and that is to go up them now we have a very good
bright clear screen and you can see our battery life indicator so there are four five bars sorry
here in blue each one representing 20 battery we've got our speed and then our pedal assist
levels so Eco is number one it does affect the twist accelerator to these levels a pedicist
level two three and five which they call Sports the sport mode now here this is very important
you can see it currently States single and if if meaning of course the front motor that's a
thousand watt front motor if you press and hold the plus button the up the pedal assist level
keep holding that it will then swap over you'll see here into a dual mode now dual mode that's
not by default by default it's always just the rear motor dual of course is using both of those
super powerful thousand watt Motors and pressing and holding it you'll go over to either the front
or the back motor which most people will use and that is the default setting to of course
and then we have our trip meter here odometer maximum and average speed is displayed too
foreign
straight away that it is a big heavy bike so it's over 40 kilos and with the front 1000
watt motor you feel the weight and the shock too of it but it is a very large
frame for me it's a large size the seat height is really good and it is a very
comfortable seat because it is nice and wide got a lot of padding on it more than what you
would typically have on a mountain bike so you have the option of using the twist accelerator
now because this is locked down to 25 kilometers per hour uh I cannot get up to the 49 50 kilometer
per hour top speed so giving this this David of a Twist in fact I'll do it from standstill here
because you need to see this it's just crazy so just pull this now and watch this front wheel
power and it gets up at 25 km
we're there head so quick the acceleration on this thing so when it's unlocked this is going
to be an absolute monster a little bit like that go go best gf750 that I reviewed with two twin
1000 watt Motors now pedling it's got not a torque sensor but a speed sensor
power and as you'll see later on with my client test when I get to that this thing is a climbing
monster up to 40 degree climbs it can handle and it does really well off-road too with those
fat tires so plenty of room for my knees I'm in a relatively upright position here and it
is very comfortable riding videos and a little bit bouncy as I go along down here because of
those nice big fat tires and they are loud but I like that about them because people
mean so loud the road noise you get from that poor rolling resistance of the knobbly tires
so when you ride the bike and you ride over 25 kilometers per hour with the speed limit
enabled which this one is it's very hard to get over that 25 kilometers per hour unless
you're going downhill which I am right now so I can happily Cruise along in
the top gear here at 36 kilometers per hour again you can hear those really noisy tires
and the gear shifts from the Shimano very good no problems with them at all everything is in
line aligned while no issues with it with the gear changes a flat stretch right now I'm pretty
much stuck at 25 kilometers per hour because if I press really hard you can just get up to about 26
27 but with this little climb right now we'll drop back to 25-24 you'll feel the motor kick
in for a second then it kicks out so that's why I'm kind of stuck at 25 kilometers per hour
like I said here we go with my climb test now what I would do is just use the twist
accelerator that's no pedaling at all because we've got that two 1000 watt Motors it's just
going to just handle us with ease I know it okay spinning that front wheel look at this and there
we go we are up at 25 kilometers per hour and I haven't even pedaled at all so this is just
an absolute climbing monster so I'll stop using that and then I will start pedaling same story
it's rocketing ahead in fact I can just go up the gears now third gear fourth fifth not going to be
a problem at all for this bike now for breaks we've got those deers Lane 180 millimeter disc
brakes so we're going to do about 30 kilometers per hour full on breaking from the White Post
and that is really good thanks to those fat tires and hydraulic disc
brakes 180 millimeter so larger than the typical 160 I do see
with these bikes really good brakes on this Lane Khaleesi model [Music]
a little bit and running from the mud guy yeah because this climate it barely rains
I would actually probably take those my guards off very good downhill as well
okay so what about the range using just the rear hub motor which is by default I managed to lose
Just One battery bar which is 20 battery and I covered 17 kilometers that's not too bad their
claim is 100 to 120 kilometers you should be able to cover here but you'd have to be using the Eco
pedal mode now I used uh pedal modes two and three most of the time there to achieve that now when
you use both of the motor so a thousand watts in total it's a lot different than of course so for
20 battery loss I only covered then 12 kilometers so if you're going to use both of the motors all
the time and pedal assist level five I was using pedal assist level three uh you're probably only
looking then I would say 30 40 50 kilometers around that kind of area 50 kilometers and if
you take it a little bit easy and you do a little bit more peddling maybe squeeze out 50 with both
of the motors but of course you're consuming twice the amount of energy there and on the climbs you
will notice that but let's talk about then the climbs on this thing because it's an absolute
monster it just Rockets up anything it's exactly like well very similar to the go go best gf750
that I reviewed also with two 1000 watt Motors but that only had the 20 inch size rims this is
a 26 inch wheels and it's a little better there and it's very very quick now I've got a lot to 25
kilometers per hour so if you've got the unlocked model you figure out how to unlock it I haven't
been able to do that myself then this thing is just going to rock it up everything off-road those
fat spongy Wheels they do handle things really well and I recommend a tire pressure of probably
about 11 to 12 PSI if you're going to be mainly off-road just with gravel light little Trails
things like this if you're gonna be riding all the time on the road you're probably better off
running a bit higher than about 16 17 PSI remember the maximum for these tires they do recommend is
20 psi there so all up it is a very good bike really fun great braking performance climbs top
speed can get up to 50 kilometers per hour if you have it unlocked the big downside to it is
of course course the obvious one the weight this thing is heavy very heavy with those big wheels
the motor in the front the very large 20 amp hour battery we're talking about 45 46 kilos 40
kilos or so weight of this bike or it's nearing 40 sorry kilos which is very very heavy for this type
of bike here so thanks so much for watching my review of the land Khaleesi mg 740 Plus
