Every review I've seen on this one so far, have mentioned the front rack not following the handlebars. But if you actually use it to lug stuff about, you know you dont want a sack of potatoes or a shopping bag wobbling about with your steering. Same with your light if the front rack is loaded, you want the beam to light up in the general direction you're actually going. Not where your bars are wobbling. Now if you're just riding for speed, fun or to look cool, it makes sense. But as a actual transport/utility bike you want that stability.

@baconbuttties 5 месяцев назад

The rack does work well and the front light is not a problem. I do try and mention everything, otherwise I will have comments saying why didn't you mention the rack.

@Caprifool 3 месяца назад

@@baconbuttties yes, I was drawing the attention to something often said about the bike. And basically any transport bike tbh that has the rack and light fixed to the frame. But I doubt that they actually lug stuff around daily or even weekly.

Although the light on a motorcycle turns with the steering, for these fixed lights it's just the same as driving in a car like if you're driving in pitch black and doing a U-turn up very sharp turn the lights doesn't turn with your steering it basically just catches up when you strengthen up, so don't thing it's much of a issue. Good info you gave though 👍

@ajacks1349 5 месяцев назад

Great review... Is the front rack perfectly aligned with the headtube, as I've read about some of them NOT being? It's a great pity they chose to use cheap, corrodible & heavy steel for the mudguards, plus the front & rear racks. Very odd given that aluminium alloy is usually the preferred material for racks & plastic for the mudguards with all the advantages that confers...so purely a cost decision.

@baconbuttties 5 месяцев назад

The rack was straight. People saying it's not perfectly aligned might of not put it on straight as you do need to line it up when do up the bolts.

@ajacks1349 5 месяцев назад

@@baconbuttties That's good...looks like it might be worth a punt as they say, despite the real risk of aftersales/warranty/lack of parts issues later. Like yourself, I always like to check out metals with a small powerful neodymium magnet given the amount of fraud out there. Back in 21 I purchased several meters of what was supposed to be thick gauge oxygen free copper cable for my hi-fi system from eb@y & found out sometime later...with the magnet WHY the cable sounded harsh...it was magnetic & probably steel multi-strand wire plated with copper! Also, I purchased a "Trinx" folding bike (not ebike)...again from eb@y described as steel on the frame label, but was found to be non magnetic & probably an aluminium alloy...so that was quickly moved on, as it was quite light weight & very bendy.

Great review fella! If Engwe are asking, I bought the L20 for my wife after watching this review, as her old Halfords shopping bike has done many many miles and lacked braking power using rim blocks from day one, it's been like Trigger's broom in that respect and with the recent cold weather, the motor has been cutting out. Time for a new one and the L20 was clearly the best choice, in Snow White as per your review. She will love the racks, mudguards and design touches throughout. I will be happy she finally has decent disc brakes! Liked and sub'd. Many thanks and ride safe.
