The electric bike that changed EVERYTHING! | Estarli e28 

I've recently bought an estarli e28 after watching this channel.. it has changed my life. its an amazing bit of kit.not the cheapest but really well thought out.. really easy to ride and I'm now doing miles and miles on it that i wouldn't of dreamed of doing on my non electric bike..well done electroheads

Oh dear - the grumpy keyboard warriors are out and about. It's spring/summer cheer up - prime cycling weather. Get off your keyboards and get some fresh air. Appreciate Electroheads sharing their opinions on the bikes they have tried and tested. We have bought 20+ E-bikes all under a grand. 2 years later they are falling apart. Buy the right bike - once!! Keep up the great work😊👍

could you please do a video on maximum gross weight limits for ebikes. Manufacturers hide these in the smallprint, however the majority seem to be the same as non-electric bikes. the additional weight of an ebike (often 20 - 30 kg) is included in this gross weight, which then limits rider and accessory weight. A 100kg adult (there are alot of us out there!) may easily take the gross weight beyond the limit. Some light should be shone on this. thanks

I really love this bike, i just thought to myself - i wish it was a step through and then you said at the end they were doing one! Will definitely be my first ebike purchase :) thanks for the great review

I've had a E28 for about 3 months. I use it to get to work, 10 mile round trip with 4 or 5 steep hills which it flows up, when fully charged it feels as if you are being pushed. Biggest regret is not buying the front suspension. Biggest disappointment is rust has developed in some places which considering the cost is annoying, i have sprayed with some muc off stuff now. Also slight niggle is there is no manuel (there is a basic one online but not much use) with bike so first time ebike riders like myself have to learn through use, embarrassingly i didn't realise when charging you have to wait until the tiny red light on the charger turns to green and not when it reaches 5 full bars which far from charges it fully. Its a great bike overall.

At least it's a nice looking e,bike that doesn't have a bulky battery pack and heavy. Been waiting for a bike like this.. 👏👏👏 👍

I think this is a great RU-vid channel and site, I'm very happy they are doing the cycle to work 😊 Currently looking either the E20 or the Air 20 :D

What a very good presentation from Eilis, as Always..Andre.

I’m sold on the e28, can’t wait for June when my work start the cycle to work scheme so I can order one

A fun comment to finish of: - I would recommend caution on the phone on your back pocket!! Haha!! - I saved a riders phone once by getting closer to that rider and commenting: 'Hey, your phone is almost on the floor mate'. - Not only he thanked me for it. He mentioned it actually happened before... And I am not surprised why!!

My trek rail 7 makes the perfect ebike. It's awesome for urban, x country & fire trails.

If I go to London and you start a rental service, I would definitely rent one!

The soundtrack is brutal!! Both from the beginning and end of the video. So nicely chosen!! If you were aiming for inspirational, you nailed it!!

Love the look of that bike. I might invest in an electric bike this year. I've not done much cycling in recent months

😲That bike is lighter than the unassisted hybrid I ride now!

Really helpful. Thanks. Ordered thru the cycle to work scheme. Hoping its a good as you say 😊

Saving up for one now!

That's a beautiful bike. I'd love to take it for a ride. Excellent review also

I think the Electrohead visitor, came to the studio, with the (unspoken) intention, to ride away into the sunset with Eilish! The poor bloke, only walked away with an E-bike - not Eilish & a bike - Haha!

If this bike had the single geared belt drive like the Tenways I would get one.

5:50 SO... did he buy the bike??? 300 pounds does sound prettyyy nice :))

"Bikes for all!" Charge!!!

I'm convinced about this bike but unfortunately, I'm in France. Do you have a runner-up recommendation for those of us outside of the UK?

So sad that estarli is only available in the UK and not the Rest of Europe 😢

Let's talk about that orange fixie!

I can't decide whether I'd like to have a pint with the e-horse or not. I'm intrigued and terrified.

One bit of constructive criticism. Why not add graphics of the brand/model when introducing it? Just like how you highlight the weight and such. Your host is great but if I can't catch the name it ruins it. Saw 3 of your videos so far and found the same issue. Thanks.

It will be interesting to see how ADO Air 20'' is going to compete in sales with the Estarli e20 (in it's multiple variations)? Your analytics EletroHeads about which brand is selling more and why? The feedback you can get from the test riders. Can prove to be an extremely valiable source of information to eBike manufacturers. Going from a content creator brand to a full on influencer helping the industry adapt to what Riders want more!! You Rock ElectroHeads!!

Estarli vs Honyu….. Where would you put your money. Occasional user, festival sites, grass, mud and roads to and from site…. Thanks

FINALLY!! MINE HAS ARRIVED!! AND IM HAPPY WITH IT!! YAY!! p.s. can you guys do accesories for the bikes too? If you guys can find out about the SmartHalo 2, that would be awesome. I cant find it anywhere to buy

A question @electroheads about your double youtube channel (this one and the X2): www.youtube.com/@electroheadsX2 - I find it a little confusing to have to check on two places to look for similar content. - It's a new channel... almost 1K subscribers... but still, what is the purpose of that channel? - What are the benefits in separating your subscribers into these two branches? - Is it just more work that you end up having to manage with not that many benefits? I am huge fan that the best process is no process. So eliminating complexity is one of my favourite topics!! It's this X2 channel adding complexity to your work flow? But not helping that much on your companies mission? Kind regards mates.

I'd have it. Looks tough I reckon, even in that blue. 💪😘

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong but it seems this bike's pedal assist is not torque sensing? The only piece of information I can glean from estarli's pitifully information-free website says, "advanced candence", which I assume means, "advanced cadence" but nobody's bothered to proof read. The impression I get is that this company is not "manufacturing in the UK" but bolting together generic parts sourced from China -- that they didn't design -- in the UK.

I tried one of the Estarli (foldable e20 with off road tyres). It is solid and fun eBike!! My question would be: if eBikes like ADO (offering so much... carbon belt with torque sensor, hydraulic disk brakes, very light 10 year warranty frames and whopping 350Wh battery) are just about to change the rules of the game... A bit like Tesla. From time to time, a new Brand just puts on the table a brand new rule book. And throughs everyone off their game... for a while. What I don't know is if ADO is losing money per ADO air they sell? Is so, how much? No company can bleed forever... So Are prices in a few months from now going to go up? And all they want is to gain market reputation and them balance themselves out... Also good questions about the production line of Estarli could be: - Can you make a carbon belt with torque sensor cheaper to produce than a metal chain with shimano gears (which are probably quite expensive)? - Have the prices of the batteries gone down enough so that the previous acceptable 250Wh batteries are now being bumped in to 350Wh at very similar price tag? - Could the frame (which is very standard and on the heavy side) be replaced by a different one like ADO is doing? - Are disk breaks using cables just not a thing any more... Hydraulics is just much better and affordable enough? I am not British. I was born and raised in Lisbon area for more than 35 years. But I am a Huge advocate of made in UK products!! The UK Region has what it takes to compete neck to neck with German products for example. The so claimed made in Germany seal of approval. Nothing against German products!! But UK can be up there too!! So I would like very much to see Estarli transition to a sustainable future with no fear nor regreats. Like it happens in tech a lot, if you don't innovate, you become obsolete. Maybe Mycle bikes could be a good example of that... Is Estarli innovating enough to continue to sell their solid range of products! While on the pipeline, the next gen of eBikes is on the making? Drop parts on the eBike and start fresh. Clean slate!! What is the essence of an eBike? And how can you make it in a way that is profitable. But at the same time a very compelling product is delivered to the Riders!! With a high output on the production line acomplished by the simplification of the product itself. Cheerios ElectroHeads!!

Great review as always. I'm in the U.S and would love a bike like this but fear that customer service/repairs would be an issue. I'm interested in a bike like this because even though there aren't as many retriction here Ebikes aren't allowed on some recreational trails. I think i could pass as a regular bike on something like this. Any chance you could review a comparable bike that has global service?

Thanks a lot for your channel, I love the way you are presenting. The Estarli 28 looks great but I have two concerns. My wife has a Giant with a centre shock and it makes the bike a bit unstable, noissues like that on the Estarli? Second issue is the Battery that seems to be built in, our Bikes are parked in a shed and loading a battery in freezing temperatures seems to be a bad idea. What about the maximum load the bike can carry? I bring 110 kg to the scale, would it have enough stability?

''It won't get nicked''. It may look incognito but will still get nicked as it looks quite expensive!

As a male, 1:13-1:14 is my favourite part

But it would be something like an American cruiser style bike or one with balloon tyres. I much prefer hub gears.

bummer that most sleek looking ebikes are not shipping to Canada!

I can't remember, would you show me again where the battery is stored?

Yes, great to hear you addressing accessibility. At the beginning of lockdown I bought a Batribike Sigma folder because it was the lowest step through I could find and at the time it was British made, I don't think they are any more. The only thing wrong with it is it's heavy for me but it has survived me toppling over on it a couple of times so I guess for heavy read sturdy! 😂 It tolerated me strapping on an enormous basket to go shopping in the summer too. I can't afford to keep changing bikes but it's good to see British made light weight accessible ones becoming available. I'm also interested in cargo bikes (in my dreams) do you have any interest in those? Lovely to see everyone, great show 👍👏 Edit: btw I live in Kent too, whereabouts are you?

That Estarli bike looks decent. How they cramming a 375wh battery in that downtube? 🤯. Mines thicc bruv.

whats the motor in the E28. not listed anywhere

Hi. Would you say it fits for a 5'5 rider ? (I know it is supposed to be for 5'6 - 6'4) Thanks :)

I would prefer the ado air 20 because of belt drive transmission 🙂🙃😉

I might need a review for the Tenways Ago X

Is there anyway to remove and charge battery remotely

"... in the metal." Is that like, "in the flesh?" I tried and tried, by replaying, but couldn't understand that which Eilis said after, "It's the perfect size." ;-)

I need a new electric, but it needs a throttle due to low mobility. What can i get. I have a fiido d1 at the moment.

This there a E 26 as I like 26 inch wheel?

Love electric bikes. Hate the fact they are really a middle class fashion. Working class people can't and won't ever pay £1700 or £2500 for a bicycle. We should be pushing and promoting the bikes £500 and less.

I have a pedal assist, but looking for a decent torque sensor to get more milage and exercise. Do you have any torque sensor models?

Why is there no sponsor notice on this advertisement.

If I came to the office tomorrow (10th May), can I get featured in a horse segment? Or maybe I become the horse!!

Looking forward to the trapeze review soon! Does the bike have a torque or cadence sensor?

Don't get me wrong. I have an Mycle eBike. And I have to admit Estarli has just better components in general for a reasonable price. I test rided the e20 play on the fully charged show UK South at the awesome Electroheads area!! - estarli e20 play official video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WzkKzLrXeaA.html The bike has tones of grip with the off road tyres. The raw metal look is brutal. And the hydraulics disk breaks are so responsive!! But I would like to know more. More technical details. More meat on the bones!! (not best analogy for people that are vegan...) I am a believer that the better informed the consumer is, the more confidence eBike riders have towards buying your products!!

So, what’s a roughly equivalent bike that is available in the US?

So many ebike video presenters religiously refuse to show ebikes fitted with baggage-carrying racks etc. How can you possibly use an ebike or escooter as a serious form of transport and alternative to cars when you refuse to "spoil" the cool looks and vids with get-real racks and luggage-carrying solutions?! What clever (quick-release etc) luggage-carrying solutions do you have in your much-plugged(!) Electroheads shop for instance ? Paul G

Features for the future GPS!!!! THROTTLE!!! (Because E-bike) APP….(give us more reason to head out with the bike beyond just work) Anyone else can think of more!? 👀

What happens when the battery has come to the end of its life , are they removable,

Are you going to do a vid on the new e20 Play?

Does the E.28 sell in Canada?

Where is the motor on that bike?

Is the battery the Estarli removable?

Does the E28 come in different sizes?

Hi, love the site. I am thinking about buying an e-bike in the next couple of months and the Estarli e28 is favourite. However I will be living in West Cornwall and unable to come to London for a test ride. I am 65 and haven’t ridden a bike for ages. How would you suggest I go about my research?

Have you seen the Flow District 5 electric bike? Looks interesting but can't find a lot of info other than skate hut sells them

Think that's le one for me! When I buy, will def purchase via yee... Schtoopid question: The seat height is adjustable? I am 5' 11" but like to cycle with 95% leg extension wise when le pedal is at le bottom of its travel.

Do you send bikes to Canada????

one day, I wish "electric bikes are taking over" can be said in the US. Probably will never happen in my lifetime. 😭

Does Starli build or assemble the bikes they sell. Two totally different things!

Do gravel tires fit on her?

can i get an estarli e28 in the us?

Hello can I get this bike in Itlay , L'aquila ? ^_^

Hello Does anyone know any safe routes from camden to Hammersmith? I’m tryna get into cycling and considering an E bike thanks

Tell me you know of an American Company like ya'll! LOL. Or should I just move there? Love your show!

Wish you would deliver to other countries.

FortNine predicts 130M eBikes will be sold in the next 3 years. Overtaking all electric vehicles combined.

It sounds like a paid review rather than an honest review. Not a word about one of the most essential points of electric bikes: charging. The fact that the battery is not detachable means that you have to take a bike inside every night for charging. This is not an issue for the foldable bikes since the design is to fold and take them inside but on e28 .... ? keep in mind that if you live in a small flat, then your bike might be charged in the living room while your friends are coming for dinner.

How many of these e-bike brands will survive in the next 10 years? Where to find replacement parts, batteries and electronics if these brands go out of business?All these disposable e-bikes to fill up the landfills in the near future.

I read on Halfords website reviews. Of the boardman HYB 8.9e a guy purchased one a couple of years back, and now it needed a New Actuator for the electric motor, and Halfords could no longer supply the part for that particular year model. How can we be sure in a few years time this bike won’t develop a Problem and the company doesn’t exist or they don’t make it anymore ? We basically end up with a Heavy bike that don’t work anymore 😢 it’s an expensive purchase

Buy a green crop top - got it 😊

Ellis looks as stunning from the rear as she does from the front!

Front suspension and hydraulic disk brakes cost additional £250 ? You can a get an ebike with mid-rive Bosch motor in this price range of £1800. Its way overpriced.

Great bike, excellent value. But sizes don’t take in consideration of tall and short people

Yeah, so I thought the style of the bike was pretty bland. Great video as always though!

Do you think the electric bike industry is missing out on a massive potential in regards to the market place ? Personally speaking I think so , here’s my take on the market place , the amount of older people be they men or women obviously not forgetting others who see themselves as who they want to be and good for them, sorry I digress , I think with electric bikes if they had more belt drives systems it would open a whole new world to people who want ease of use and don’t want derailed system and see that system as off putting , the whole idea of ease of use should be paramount, would make a good video to take electric bike on a tour of the UK , derailleur system/belt drive system, don’t forget you’re not looking for existing cyclists the premise of the video’s is to attack none cyclists to then become cyclists, yes you could say belt up and get a life but you seem to be too charming to even think thoughts as that , sorry for long email but only a little sorry , song for the email = Nine Million Bicycles = Katie Melba, have a nice day and life.

😂😂 in india you can get world class e bicycles for only 300 USD only........!!!! Range starts from 250 dollars

A real use case of an eBike vs PHEV car: - So I needed this morning to go to an ATM to get some cash to pay for my Wonderful 6 year old karate class. And my immediate thought was: 'I will take the car, but it's a high street. A pain to park. Where am I going to park the car?' I can do it in electric mode. PHEV's have very small batteries for a car. But it's only 1mile there and another one back. Then I had a lightbolt moment: 'Wait a minute... I have an eBike. I don't need to park the car. Problem solved.' The weather is nice today here is zone 4 East of London. So off I went. Nice and easy. Got the cash... 15min later I am back!! With a car it would take me longer. More expensive because I might need to pay for parking!! And not so rewarding nor pleasant!! eBikes Rule!! Haha!! So are eBikes part of the solution towards a sustainable future? I think they are!!

“Resistance is futile. You will be e-similated.”

why do these bikes not have Rear suspension....?

Have you ever tried a vanmoof?

Altus derailleur & cheaparse cable discs. They could have tried just a teensy bit harder.

Estarli need to re do this bike with a belt drive.

Electric bikes are in the rich people price range , until they come down to between 400 to 700 they won't "take over"

Slobs bike

that place looks diry

Everyone will hate this comment-Electric bikes are overrated and suck especially with this awful heavy rain!! So my advice do what I have just done and take a break from e bikes and buy a crap argos bike. I just bought one a 27.5 inch mtb, alu frame, good old v brakes, grip shift etc...£160 and it runs perfectly off my human body motor!

Still pricey.😮
