E Rider MODEL 15: Review in London! 

Excellent option for UberEATS and Deliveroo bike riders.

This is lovely! It's the ideal "in betweener". Neither fish nor flesh or...best of both worlds. It fills the remaining gap.Good idea👍

I used to ride a motorcycle but repairs, tax, petrol, insurance etc made it prohibitively expensive in my current circumstances. I had a couple of other ebikes before and they were ok but they were second (or third) hand and already ridden to death. So I bought one of these and I absolutely adore it. If you keep the speed lowish and sensible I can’t imagine how far it’ll go on one charge. I normally use it for a day or two then charge it. The battery’s never run out yet and I haven’t even noticed any power decrease. I use it like a moped and don’t usually pedal at all but recently had a 22 mile journey ahead of me and decided to pedal occasionally to conserve the battery (only on long, straight stretches of road because it takes off like a rocket when pedalled!). I was surprised to find that I probably could have made it there AND back on one charge. I have only two minor complaints: when riding with my feet in front of me the pedals frequently hit the road on sharp bends and it does tend to attract attention from people who don’t understand what it is; the nice ones ask me what it is or ask if I should be wearing a helmet - fair enough. However, there are plenty of idiots that shout abuse (I’m 53 - would I really be riding a moped helmetless on a cycle lane?) and sound their horns and tell me I should have a helmet on 🙄

I've just bought this bike today second-hand and it's in fantastic.I've noticed you said about having to turn the pedals to get up to 39 kph. There is another to do it straight off the throttle without having to pedal. Four bolts to remove the seat and underneath the seat you have access to the electronic speed controller. There is a white wire which has a single connector on it . Break the connection and the bikewill then do 39 kph off the throttle. There is a brown wire which is very much similar it is for the cruise control so leave it alone

This is so cool

Haha N this is fun. I can see how it could be helpful but it’s so silly looking to pedal on a scooter looking thing. Can you imagine how silly it would look to pedal a motorcycle haha. Also, I laughed out loud when I saw you even took it out on a rainy day. Great choice on the monkey animal, I totally agree!!

Where would be the best website to look for one with delivery?

Can the pedals be removed on this bike?

How far with the mileage if you never pedal

Hello, do the pedals tuck in and can you just charge the battery instead of pedalling? Thanks

I've been trying to find these or similar moped in the u.s. - some are really wide and look uncomfortable to pedal

Hi how does this bike perform on hills is it heavy on pedaling??

They have the new Erider Model 18 48V Electric Bike which has a 45mile range

do it really charge when pedaling iv got ( e rider model 15 special edition ) uk south wales.It was not in the instruction manual.

Hi thinking of getting the erider model 20 hope you do a review

Where can these models be purchased ?

This little thing looks incredible! Perfect for nipping around. How much do they go for?

only thing stopping me ditching the car for this thing is living in a flat and having to go up and down some stairs everyday. I also dont feel comfortable leaving it outside. If I could find one that weighs around 35kg than mayyybe I could give it a go :(

I was using the model 18 of the e-rider. He was tied up by the police and I was fined £300. Now they say either pay the fine or go to court. What do I do? location: london :)

Any chance that you will do a review of model 18?

Hi, I was wondering how long the bike last after a full charge?

Just done a night ride into town and back, the lights are not really up to it, in pitch black you get some light to see by but on the road in estates with just street lamps the lights are useless for seeing with. on school of thought is lights on a bike are to be seen with not to see with I disagree. my erider is over 2 years old an ex rental so the lights may be better now but on mine they need some work .

Great video mate! Is the legal minimum age to ride one of these still 14? I saw somewhere that to ride a moped you have to be at least 16 in the UK but I’m not sure if electric bikes fall into the moped category.

Does anyone know if we can take these sort of bikes on to trains?????? As it is a normal Bike etc.

Is there a way to derestrict this bike so it can go more than 20kmh

Can you make a review on the Kudaki Sport 2023 Electric Pedal-assist Scooter? You can buy it from MC-Sør I believe.

Hi there, how fast does this go on throttle only?

Are the pedals detachable

Thinking of using this to cycle to work, is it ok going up hills? My commute to work is about 6 miles mostly up hill, some of them quite steep. I'd appreciate some info from anyone who's tried it!

Very good bicycle buy it

Is the battery remoeable?

How do I change the gear on it

The whole thing about bicycle pedals is that when your legs are at their maximum extent (pedal at bottom), your leg should be straight or very nearly straight. Any other configuration, such as happens when you have the seat set too low, makes you look and feel like a dolt. The pedals should be usable with proper seat adjustment, or the pedals should simply be removed. That's my opinion.

You said pedaling charges the bike?

I'm wondering whether it's worth getting one of these or just getting an electric bike where pedalling is easier...

can you do reviews for other E Rider models please?

Great review, but please, always always, wear a helmet and encourage others to do so ( especially teens). I do have an ebike, but this looks more fun and easier as you have the option not to pedal.

Was you motoring along by just throttle? I thought e-bike’s pedals must be in motion for motor assistance to be provided.

How much do you think it costs to fully charge it?

Can you review the Model 18?

hi where in UK is this e-bike available in store or online

Is IT waterproof

Can the battery be removed, charged up and then returned?

Will it pull me up a hill? I’m 20 stone by the way.

Great bikes but you can get them cheaper from other places I found they am just rebadged chinese bikes and I found them on aliexpress even with the stickers on that is on the bike in this video. I loved mine but build quality was poor the rear lock that locked the back wheel had packed up the frame was rusting and the stand broke 3 times had it replaced and it happened again (this was about 6 months in of ownership). It wouldn't return up and would sit drooping down. I also derestricted mine and was able to do 28mph on private land of course. The acceleration for such a small motor isn't a bad thing either especially when I weigh heavy and so does the bike. Resale value is none existant aswell as I had it up for sale with the extended range battery for 700 and had not a single call or message for months till someone offered 600 yet the bike was 1400 when I got it and I owned it just over 6 months.

Super

From where I can buy it or what’s the contact details

Do you need a licence,tax , insurance to ride this in England?

Are you saying this bike could take the place of a combustion engine bike in a city commute?

I have an iPed Classic only just got it for spares and repairs need to get a few parts but I can't find nothing on it who the manufacturers are all their website doesn't come up with nothing can you help me with this query I'd love to get the parts to fix it up

no good for robbing gold smiths and no storage for a sledgehammer

Does the same laws apply in Germany

U need a helmet.. Dr's can fix everything but ur head..be safe, have fun.

So can i now ride the model 18 without a license tax etc i have a ban for a few more months so don't wanna break any laws ....no way asked our local police and they said "we cant give legal advice" wow ????

Is this really legal? I've got an electric bike rather than one of these because it looks rubbish but it's not legal to use a throttle.

I want this bike, sale in India (Tamil Nadu)

Elektrikli bisiklet fiatı

its all down to battery life make positeve certain that they stock spare batterys or you will be very disapointed that is all scooters it could be 250 quid on top in a years time check it

Twist grip is illegal in UK

20 miles is piss poor isn't it really

At about the 5 minute mark you said about parking on the pavement: PLEASE do not do this! Anything on the pavement is a potential hazard to blind and partially sighted people and if the pavement is blocked it can mean that parents' with babes in buggies and prams will have to walk in the road.

Ok first off, your back wheel wobbles. Secondly the fact that you pedal and get up to 25 mph and the motor is helping you to reach that speed makes your bike illegal under the law, the motor according to the law must cut out at 15.5 mph once you reach this speed the motor must by law to keep it perfectly legal cut out. That means if you pedal the motor must not assist your pedalling, which is what this bike is doing. A2B metro got into a lot of trouble over this and at one stage every bike you bought from them would take you to 15.5 and then even though you pedalled would produce a very unwelcoming effect of pulling you back. Most bike makers now ignore the law now, so technically this bike is illegal if you are able to pedal it up to 25 mph while the motor is still switched on and providing assistance. In some EU countries they are not permitted twist and go, they have no choice but to pedal twist and go is considered a motorcycle, in the UK we are permitted twist and go. But not permitted by law the faster speeds as some other countries permit up to 28mph on what is considered a super electric bike, I believe they have to carry a registration plate but no insurance or license and may still use cycle lanes. In the UK anything over 250 watts 15.5 mph is considered a moped, anything without pedals is considered a moped or motorcycle including scooters, until the law is changed which we are all holding our breath for and have been for the past 10 or more years.

Cbt or not?

15mph isnt much good is it ? better off getting an e bike or somat

Basically it's an over weight bicycle that has lots of plastic on it to make it look like a moped, it's under powered and is this way to try and legally get around the law, but technically due to the pedallec being able to reach speed of 25 mph it does not conform to the law though most police will not be in the least bit interested in testing the bike. This kind of bike would be good if it were a 500 watts or a 1000 watts then it would have a reasonable amount of power but for the price you could buy a nice regular Electric bike and not have all that plastic to lug around. The concept is good but the reality does not hold up. You can't adjust the seat height so your legs are always sticking out when pedalling and the latest price of them is too high for what you are getting.

No insurance then.Great news to to poor bugger who gets hit by one of these things ridden by a teenage tool.This is obviously a loophole in the law.Insurance for anything using a public highway should be law as far as I'm concerned.

Guess it’s a bicycle for lazy/ tired people and will probably get a following with school kids who want early access to a scooter.

They are not legal ebikes. You must have EU type approval.

Nice review but bike is very ugly

Only £1000 to look totally ridiculous. Riding around on a death trap. It's a bargain for sure.

Do you realise that the activity in this video is completely illegal? If the bike in question will indeed go over 6kmph without pedalling (as shown) or if the assist still works to help propel it at speeds of over 25kmph (as shown) then the bike doesn't qualify as an EAPC (electrically assisted pedal cycle). Therefore it cannot legally be ridden without a helmet, without a drivers licence, or on cycle lanes - only on the road. It needs to be registered, insured and taxed. I'd be very careful posting videos like this showing and promoting the illegal use of this vehicle. There's a good clear Cycling Weekly article online - "Electric bikes and UK law".
