Bill, just a follow up, in Australia, the electric only option is disabled, as no bike above 200 watts is allowed to use this feature. I still bought one. It’s the third product I have bought, scooter, tiny folding transformer bike. The Quality is excellent on all products

@waddac2 3 года назад

Brilliant Bill mate. Looks like it works a dream with good distance. If swapping to pedal mode when out, will that put a few more charge in battery?

@BillMRC 3 года назад

Hi, Rich thank you for watching & commenting, always much appreciated :-) Nearly 60, if I can not do 100k any more ;-)

@roppa789 3 года назад

No waddac there is no recharge but honestly I never use ‘electric only’. When riding in eco you pedal but there is still power assistance coming though as you turn the throttle. This means you pedal on the flat and uphill a slight turn of the throttle takes strain off you. I’ve done a 55km ride and come back with two bars left on the meter.

@aldrinsantiago7873 3 года назад

Thanks for doing a review on this bike. Have you tested the pedal-assist mode? If so, how's the range?

@BillMRC 3 года назад

Hi, thank you for watching & commenting, always much appreciated :-) I have used this with pedal assist too, but the range is subjective as it depends on gearing, gradients and how much assistance you provide.

@roppa789 3 года назад

Great review Bill. I’ve had the Z20 now for a few weeks and love it but can’t work out the sequence to reset the trip counter. Any ideas? I’m 66 with angina and just needed the help on hills and reassurance that I can get home or back to the car without overexerting myself and I highly recommend an ebike to anyone that, like me, drifted into becoming a couch potato. At around £660 they aren’t cheap but I haven’t regretted the outlay one bit. Looking forward to your next video Bill.

@BillMRC 3 года назад

Hi, thank you for watching & commenting, always much appreciated :-) To reset the odometer, press and hold the left button until the display starts flashing, the first screen flashes Cr then press the - or + button until the little flashing icon changes to r, then press the left button again that will select and reset the odometer.

Just bought one. Great bike! If someone can crack it to go faster even only 5km/h more would be perfect. A bit slow and a bit heavy (not heavy for electric bikes but still if it was 15 kg would be nicer :)). Hope the Himo guys will make an advanced version in the future that is faster and lighter

I see you're in the UK (so am I) Where did you buy it from? and did you have to pay VAT and import duty when the bike was delivered to you? I'm keen on this bike especially as your one has a throttle, although most sellers of this bike will only supply one without throttle to UK buyers (as throttles are illegal on e bikes manufactured after 2016.) thanks

Hi Steve, thank you for watching & commenting, always much appreciated :-) I got this before Brexit came into effect this year, so I do not know what the duty & vat implications are now. But, if this ships from a uk warehouse, there should be no additional costs payable.

Still in 2024 - like many people - I can't decide between the Z20 and AD20. Same price - but some say the Z20's real range is poor. 80km range is claimed for both the AD20 & Z20 - so those 80km range claims are almost criminal if you really only get 20-30km !! Paul G
