What I like about ElectroHeads videos is the daily, real world performance of the e-bikes. Yes, the Hill test is fun to watch, and sometimes Eilis navigating London traffic scares the b’jabbers out of me, but the rest is very informative, too. 😊

Love your videos. So engaging, great format, really informative and so less generic than all the other motoring videos I watch. Xxx

Another awesome review Eilis. It’s nice to see new content coming out with you in it as I know for sure it’s going to be fun with a lot of smiles and happiness in it. That’s pretty impressive for only 40 nm and would love to see what it’s like on the hills here in Cornwall. Keep up the awesome reviews as you are the one putting Electroheads on the map for everyone to enjoy ☺️

Finally a proper hill climb test! Now do Muswell Hill when you are in that area next time. About to fit the bafang h500 to my Brompton M6L. Bye, bye Sachs/SRAM 3 speed hub. Just need to decide on the chain ring and 2 sprockets sizes for both hill climbing up Swains Lane and blasting along the nearby A roads.

Great video and thank you for supplying the gradient graphic. It allowed me to do a direct comparison with the hills I climb with my Estarli E20.

Looks a good to get around, riding to work and stuff. Love the presenter 😊

Good in-depth review you certainly know your stuff 😀😀

Love my original air 20 been a great commuter for over a year now. Folds quickly to hop on a train and has handled rain and even a little snow with ease. Nice to see the pro upgrades.

Great video. It looks like a great quality bike and fun to ride.

Looking good as always but your kitchen is also looking mighty fine!

Unboxed and built mine yesterday, got a 30 minute commute through central tomorrow so looking forward to putting it through its paces

Maybe try all electric bikes up a hill then stop half way up, then start up, try it !!! Still loving my Air 20

So did the bike downshift itself when you hit that steep grade and slowed? I assume that's how the two speed helped but you didn't actually explain that it did that. Auto shifting isn't always preferential if it doesn't have angle sensing or smart electronics that know when to downshift. Love the channel, your policy commentary, and fun practical reviews. Thanks Electroheads! Thanks Eilis!

Waiting forever for mine to arrive, this video gives me hope.

I enjoyed your 🚲e-bike video, that's an impressive hill for sure! Stumbled on your channel, going to check out some of your other videos, new subscriber🤙 from NEK VT! Stay safe, God Speed!

I'm amazed at the battery differences. I got the regular ADO Air 20, and i usually get around ~90km range on a single charge. I keep switching between all of the assist levels (including turning it off sometimes, but rarely), but mostly using it on lv1 assist

excellent video

Please do this hill test with the ADO Air Carbon.

I love my Ado, the first version, it just keeps going! It only gets strenuous when driving uphill, but otherwise, I've always managed! I will soon buy the new Ado Carbon!!!

Thank you. Great review that, I think, persuades me to buy this bike. Specifically, as its test context mirrors my local terrain.

Would it be possible to do a video of ease of removing wheels, especially the back wheel to repair punctures on bikes like these with rear hub motors? Thank you for great videos too😀

Love that hat! Love the 63 km!

Love the black hat. 👍

Good review. I am waiting for my Pedibal Navigata to be delivered next week. Have you seen the E-Bike conversion Kit that DJI are bringing out

Lordy, that bus overtaking you 😬 Great review, thanks 👍🏼

Love 💘 the bike girl

Buses seem to be attracted to you … 🚌❤️

Ok, Eilis, got my attention on the hill climb 🤔💪👍

Love the video, aloha from Makaha Hawaii

Mirider 24 is currently on my think i gonna buy later in year. Or the new ado beast thats apparently out later this year.

100km incredible! nice hat by the way! 🤩 One question, how do you open the door where you have a bicycle hanging? does it open inward? or never open?

I see Eilis, I click play

Great video. Waiting for my 20 Pro to arrive. Presumably it’s still exploring a container and then customs 😉

Excellent entertaining review for real world riding. Although I don't live in England, in Australia we suffer the same regulations. At 25kph I am the slowest on my commute to the city. Manufacturers seem to exaggerate potential distance however if you have a flat area and ride casually 25% below maximum speed then I'm sure those figures can be close. Again that isn't practical in reality. but if you plan on an extended ride it is worth knowing.

The motor limit is ridiculous... Need something like this in Bristol.

Very interesting real world analysis of a great bike. Really enjoy how you approach the whole balanced review process. But, 65kg? - I weigh 5kg more, but I dont look a tenth as poised as you do when riding. How does that happen? Really like the bike though, good looker, all the right kit, good battery lock. Great video.

Another great real world test. Liked the incline graphic also.Their range claims even on repeated testing on flatter roads fell well short I feel. But another great option on the e-Bike market otherwise.

That's a wicked hat 😆

Please come and test out a bike around Plymouth. We have proper hills. And the pasties and ice cream 🍦 breaks are handy 🤣

That manual throw was pitiful 😅 great video. Do you guys have a shop in London where you can test bikes out before you buy them?

How about testing the sunrise RX3 chunky tyres

40NM isn't enough without a throttle. I had a 40NW bike and it sturggled in Edinburgh with our hills. I required a throttle to manage the hills. The problem isn't going up the hill but stop/starts on a hill unless the torque is higher and/or you have a throttle.

Have had the ADO 20 Pro for the past 6 weeks and knocked out over 100 miles on it (the light blue colour). Granted I live in London, but Sport mode level 3, no issues with ANY hills nipping around SW London. Very quick off the mark (need to be a little careful of the front wheel lifting on occasion). Turn by turn navigation on the screen when paired with the ADO app is also pretty sweet. Have to admit, the magnets don't really hold together when transporting it folded. Happy riding!

How about a test on the ADO carbon🤔

Have you ever tried a bike with a Vinka hubmotor? Wondering if so, what were your impressions of it/if there's a video you can recommend.

Sounds like something you need to test in Bath, Bristol or Edinburgh for some real hills 😊

Now lets see the same hill on the ADO Air Carbon please 🙂

I am glad i live in Paris, these bike lanes look so dangerous in London and most roads seems to be lacking them, most bike lane should be completely separated from traffic when its possible, this is the best way to protect 2 wheelers, also these buses seem to be going quite fast around cyclist

I like the black hat 🎩

You want to check out Electric Unicycles... It might require a learning curve, but you won't break into a sweat at all... and mileage to suit your needs... ... If the weather is really wet and windy... you can just take it on a bus, in a taxi, on the train like a suitcase... the smallest ones will even fit in a backpack...

How does it compare to the Estarli 20.8 play ?

Compared with a Brompton it is still, only a ½ Folder, and it needs an extra opening in the frame to be able to use a belt! And for a long time I didn't know for what use I had the low gears, of 6, on my Brompton, till I met an absurd Danish hill and had to walk on top! But riding intensely and being able to walk faster going up, seems at best, a little funny😁! Finn. Denmark

Hi🤗 i'm new here,checked your vidplaylist for ecargobikes...none what so ever,how that come? Very tiny scooters to big cars,and no cargobike? Or do you have a separate channel for ecargobike,that i did'nt see? No one i shorts either🥴 Will u do some off these? It's a big market out there😏

battery on the seat post means you cannot put a seatpost suspension to lessen the bumps of being a hard tail bike (no rear suspension). seat post suspensions are usually what i prefer with folding bikes like these because they always lack rear suspension to keep it portable and lighter. the motor is underpowered, but i guess the use case is lightweight that you can pedal if you run out of battery. however i would prefer the velotric fold 1 over this because you can put a suspension seatpost because the battery is in a different spot, is ipx rated water proof for rain, 120 lbs rear rack weight capacity, still lean and lightweight enough to pedal without power, folds well, has more power than this motor.

Can you review Eovolt Afternoon Pro?

all reviews i see concentrate on the bike itself (and rightly so) i'd like to see reviews on how to deal with bags and luggage and how the luggage rack factors in all of this. also what alternative ways for handling luggage are there? i.e. a carrier on the front ball head or something like that?

Does it regen?

How do the two speeds compare to the original Ado Air 20? Are they either side of the original gear? or is one similar and the other is higher or lower?

My last bike had a leaver, so I would not have to pedal I have problems with my legs, does the Ago have got to pedal of I have, can you please tell us which bike s have a leader so we don't have to pedal

Hi there, have you considered to test drive the Eovolt e-bike, foldable? I would love to know what you think of that. We are considering getting the afternoon V3 one (vintage) or waiting for the afternoon Pro version coming out in September. kind regards, Gerrie from the Netherlands

dual Speed hub motor ?? with a belt drive ? this is what i been wanting for years

Kannst du dir vorstellen eine Review über ein EUC zu machen? Ich selber habe ein KS S18, das ist ein guter Alrounder. Damit zu fahren macht mir deutlich mehr Spaß als mit meinem eScooter. Das KS S16, oder das KS S19 wären super für Anfänger. Die haben LEDs und eingebaute Lautsprecher. Damit kann man Musik hören, oder auch die unterschiedlichsten Fahrgeräusche laufen lassen. Lustig und interessant wäre sicherlich auch wenn du deine Lernphase dokumentierst. Oh...... and of course! I like Eilis! That never will change! Ledgends never will die!

I have the Air 20 but mine is in the U.S. so I have the 500W motor. It performs well on tough grades but I have to have it level 3 assist to do it (I weigh 204 lb or 93 kg)

I saw cutest teeth in the thumbnail and I clicked as fast as 20,000kwatts ebike 😮❤️🌹

When you were going down the hill, you said it was a one-way road that was ok. You were only going one way 😂

I need this in Asia

1st! Love your reviews.

4:00 the angle of those brake levers make my wrists ache just looking at them . . .

I think the motor limit needs to be removed especially since regardedles of motor size it's limited.

What is the proper tires pressure? I’m about 65kg

Is ADO and Fiido same company? Their folding bikes look similar...

Do this with the ado carbon, thx.

Do you know if there is any bike cover protector for this bikes? I am going to get mine today.

So where I live ADO AIR 20 costs 1499 euro while the pro for 1799. If you add up all the extras like racks and mudguards it is very similar priced. But in all honesty I do not know how I feel with an automatic shift, what if it breaks?

I'm interested in these bikes but what puts me off is back from these ebike companies if you have a problem and where to get them serviced. Great review though.

The sound of that Harley Davidson at 11:13 😍. Sorry, I should be focussing on the ebike !

Hills aren't a thing with this smart bike

Sorry, I don't understand euro-miles 😜… Imperial measurements too please! ❤

I have the original ado air 20. I think the non pro version is perfect for a normal city commute. However I do think it lacks power over steep inclines, especially steep inclines over longer distance. This is also where the single gear becomes an issue, as you can't just go down a gear. So I just end up brute force pedalling up 😅. To be clear, it's great for normal commute or the occasional hill (like a bridge), which is perfect for my use. But it does have drawbacks depending on your individual circumstances.

This company uses dynamic pricing so the price will literally change by the day or even on the same day sometimes. Have been researching this bike for a few weeks and the website price has fluctuated between $1199 if I remember and today's price of $1226.

Ah, so now we find the truth, world domination is your goal. That two speed transmission sounds great.

I'm 6:1 is the saddle height going to be appropriate?

I just cant decide which e-bike should I buy since each video encourages me to buy that bike! Question; what about Fiido Carbon which is 13,7kg bike and DJI´s new e-bike?

Has any talented DIY'er managed to fit an additional more energy-dense(eg. 15AH/20AH - not 9.3 AH) EXTERNAL on-frame battery to any ebike with an in-frame battery? You could thereby more than double or triple the range - and easily remove your on-frame batt for shorter trips. Paul G

Man do I have a different A20 to everyone else? My knees are killing me on hills and I have to change gears to the highest. Admittedly I am not the fittest! But still, this make it seem like a doddle

what would be cool is,, that the bike would regenerate going downhill, there by getting back the range you lost going up hilll

Has anyone bought the ADO AIR 20 from ADO's site? If so what is your experience? and what about the warranty.

I really want an e-bike like this for London but I think this is an advert isn’t it? Anyone with any legit feedback on these ADO bikes? I have a 2.5 mile commute from NW6 to W1 no big hills..

10:03 "the advantage of lower cadence is that you can tackle those hills" Say what? It's actually the opposite!

This is clearly a paid advertisement

Odd that there's no "no entry" signs on the one way road.

Girl, you don't have a future in this channel..... you are too good. Your talent will be called for soon.

Have you weighed the bike yourself?. I've seen both 18 and 21kg listed.

I don't see how the PRO helps on a hill? Normally on a hill you switch back to a lower gear so this PRO switching to a higher gear at 20km/h seems completely counterproductive for a hill. That said I have the regular air 20. It is pretty nice but I dislike the high cadence at 25km/h. The peddling is very light so it doesn't cost any effort but you still tire because of the huge amount you are peddling. The pro does seem like it does that better. Switching to a higher gear to make the cadence lower is great. I didn't think the difference in the heaviness of peddling would be very noticeable although you said it was more of a workout so maybe I am wrong there?

"Analogue bike" ?...🤣

The solution with the battery cable looks awful.

London's most famous hill might just be it's only proper hill.

😊..need to find a pay monthly seller...
