The new Engwe L20 is available from the official ENGWE shop: bit.ly/3X7oVUz Also you can join the Official ENGWE owners group for more experiences: facebook.com/groups/engwebikes
@@Cassiopeee670 Yes it's very similar with the X, comes locked and limited, but supports also unlocking. When it's unlocked it has a lot of torque and power, it feels very similar with the X and this one is also lighter so it accelerates even faster.
@@selfdefensesecrets3874 Glad I bought a brand new EP-2 Pro for £650 with the additional utility of folding, though not a Brompton fold, it just increases the possibilities for storage etc. It's quoted as 55NM & is around 4 to 5KG lighter than the L20.
Great review! Did you have any problems with Rain/Water? I have seen the big openings near the controller box under the battery and I highly doubt that this bike will survive heavy rain or the winter time.
Very good review, thanks. Just one question please. Is there a risk of water collecting where the battery connects to the controller at the base of the battery?
You could cover it with something when you leave it for a longer time with no battery. Also add water repelent special grease for electrical terminals.

Γεια σας I usually don't mention mention range in my review because of several reasons. For instance I unlock the bike, doing that increases the power consumption exponentially, the range is influenced by how you ride, hills, tire pressure, temperature, rider weight, wind, etc. Too many variables to take into account to establish a range. I use another method of calculating an empiric range: 10Ah / 36-48V can be 25-35km range in 100% electric mode. Usually it gets 2x time more than that in assisted mode and limited to ~25km/h. So a 48V 10Ah ebike used in assisted mode and locked to 25km/h can do easy 50-70km/h. If you have torque assist sensor, smart drive, high end end motors such as Bafang then you can easy get 100km out of a battery. There are also cases when the bike has dual kw motors and will drain a 20Ah 48V battery in 20km doing winter snow offroad.
Great review mate and beautiful shots! ❤ I don't understand how a 250 W can achieve such high speeds 😮 Would you say the engine is working too much and getting overheated? The only way I can imagine the small motor is achieving such speeds is if they are pushing the engine to its very limits...
The motor is built to work with a wide power range, to abide the laws it works with 250W and has less performance, but it also can work easy in high power when you want ;) Just like a car driving slow in the city or letting it go fast on the highway.
@@cuvip2007 i have a engine x and i can confirm. when u get to 30kmh even in last gear you do almost nothing with the pedals🤣. Planning on changing the freewheel tho

@@TechTronic9000 I’ve got a question you might be able to answer easily. With my Engwe C20 Pro I can choose how many power levels I want to set up (1-5, 0-5, 1-7 etc.) but also how much power each level has (between 0 and 100%). Can you do both things with the L20? Many thanks
Hi! I've a ADO A20F+ ebike and I want to buy a larger cargo ebike like radwagon. What do you recommend ?? I did not see in the channel any review about that. Thanks. Cheers mate!
Hi there 👋. Could you share your thoughts on those 2 big holes where cables are connecting to a controller on the bottom? All the water and mud from the front wheel goes right inside that hole. So controller and cables will be always wet. I think its a design flaw. Planning to cover it with silicone etc.
Great review! I'm going to purchase the C20 Pro - but it looks like ENGWE has better build quality than a lot of similarly priced Chinese ebikes (I had a nightmare with a SAMEBIKE folding bike, the motor failed within 2 days).
This bike is very similar to my bike in looks. I have air suspension in the front and a 203 rotor in the front and 180 in the back. My bike just has straight handlebars. 48 volt batterry and 24 amp hours. I am in the uk so restricted to 15.5mph. I also have a throttle to assist me to that speed which cuts out when it reaches that speed.
I would stay away from the Fiido version, they used to broke in half from catastrophic frame failure. They do claim to "fixed it" with a newer version, but then again they have a history with this issue on other models as-well.
As I see there are scratches on the frame. Does it scratches so easily? I wanted a green bike, but if it scratches, then black must be a better option because it's easier to repair paint.
Nice bike this. I was thinking of getting the Engine Pro but I cant use a thumb throttle and Engwe say there is no way to replace with a twist throttle :( Do you know if that's true? I was hoping you would be able to swap them. Thanks for your help.
These throttles are compatible with the display and the controller so they really need to match. If Engwe officially told you that they do not have another compatible throttle then definitely they don't have one.
What is the max? range this bike can cover judged on your experience and not the maker's claims. Thank you. I really need a bike with importance based on a long range rather than speed as I am a senior rider and would also require a step-through bike.
I've just received mine and did 40km range and battery died.... I used level 4 and 5 assist with sometimes just throttle... And not max settings, middle settings... I will write to the company because they claim 140km LMAO
@@carlossaez3586 yeah so far that's my only complain honestly, been having a blast with the bike ! Would be nice to have a back suspension and a better front one, i'd buy that with a markup in price anyday, bike is fun !
Good day, can you please tell me if this bike can be ridden without the help of the legs, and is there any difference between the Engwe L20 250w and the Engwe L20 750w, or is it possible that this is purely done according to the documents, so that you can legally ride in Europe, but in fact the engines are they the same? I will be very grateful for the answer.
Yes you can ride it by only using the throttle, you need to unlock that first. The power also goes up from the "standard" 250W. I have uploaded some extra videos about that and how to do it.
Has anyone answered your question about the real practical differences between the EU 250W & International 750W versions...like trying to get bl00d from a stone. As far as I can tell, there are significant differences in the way one accesses the menu on the display, which is not explained by the company, when they're still giving customers the OLD instructions for that display...not good & which causes confusion & lock outs...
250 is road legal and 750w it's not,750w classified like moped and you need to have license and pay tax 😂 off course probably no one will check this if you not riding like crazy maniac with high speed at the front of Police Car,you may have problems If you have accident with car and you didn't register your bike in proper way,it's a fraud,fine in UK I believe Is 300£,bike probably will be confiscated by police.
@@ajacks1349the 250w motor is the same 750w motor yes. Output is locked to 250w electronically from factory. No one wants a 250w bike. They want the powerful 750w one, and Engwe realised this. The E26 is also the same idea. The new L20 Boost even has a throttle sensor now :)

Might be almost perfect i emailed them about a bike asking who stocks them or where can i get a test ride of one. They answered they dont do test rides but i can go on line and buy one. £1500 for a bike i havent test driven. Thats not happening, thanks but no thanks!
The front wheel was a bit more complicated to put on because the washers and spacers were not properly installed in correct order. Have a look here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-P-Bh0XA7yZ8.html
Why is it not wise, it's a dedicated non branded display held up in screws. It's not like a Garmin GPS to attract thieves. This display will only work with a dedicated controller such as the one found on the L20.
I just got mine, and did nowhere near the claimed range of 140km ! False advertisement from ENGWE. I know range can vary from rider and conditions, but I got only 40km out of this bike... and only 25km on max settings...... Very very disappointed... All the rest is pretty good, except some gears jumping but this I'm sure I can adjust... I will be writing a complain to the company, FALSE ADVERTISEMENT !
The claimed range is obtainable under special conditions such as using only assisted mode 1, 25°C temperature, no wind, tire pressure is maximum for their rating, brakes are adjusted not to drag, rider has 55-65kg maximum, etc. It's normal if you unlock the bike to deplete the battery in 25km.
@@KarenT352 just like the normal bikes sore bum after long ride was on the fence of getting the E26 but decided on getting this L20 in green just as it be more suited for when I go fishing haha 👍
Hahah special conditions,driver must be made from paper,you must ride from downhill with back wind on mode 1 in nice sunny day 😂😂😂What a crap I spend last 3 days looking for some e bike for deliveries and so far I know most of the companies just lie about range of this bikes,I hear bofang is ok and himiway,problem is this bikes cost over 1500£.And one more thing using only assisted mode 1 mean you do 95% of work and bike 5% conclusion is I can buy normal used bike for 100£ and have range of 300 miles If I'm fit to cycle like that,energy drink and eat well 😂😂😂😂that my fuel,engwe scam.
Crazy thing, like in Norway this would not be legal.. Cause it has the ability to not be legal. If it's not blocked to ONLY 25km pr hour and max 250w power with pedal assist ONLY it wont be legal here.
The bike is legal if you don't mess with it. It comes locked and you can get an EU certificate for it. In my reviews I like to squeeze all the performance so I can better showcase how it works.
@@TechTronic9000 my point was, we have silly rules here in norway when it comes to electric bikes. like, you can have a 12 year old on a electric scooter with 1500w and a trottle, and that's fine. As a adult you still can only have 250w on a bike, and it can not have a trottle on it. it can be pedal assist ONLY. so if a bike has the ability to choose between trottle or assist , it's not legal here. it's so silly. . But great video. I'm buying a fatbike next month, so I just been watching lot's and lot's of videos about electric bikes latly. =)
Yes I truly understand you. I have lots of kids riding rent scooters with no knowledge of laws and traffic, yet the rules for bikes state 250W/25km/h. Yet I'm still lucky as this doesn't apply for any kind of road that is not public, so you can still unlock and have fun.
