Testing the Power Levels

• The bike has three different power levels: Eco (500 watts), Normal (750 watts), and Sport (1000 watts).
• Testing how easy it is to pedal the bike without power.
• Trying out different gear levels to see if throttle varies based on gear.

“This bike has three different power levels and has the Eco which gives you 500 watts of power…then it has the normal which gives you 750 and then it has the sport which gives you 1000 watts of power and I think that’s really really unique…”

Pedaling Without Power

• Testing how easy it is to pedal the bike without power.
• Not expecting the throttle to work when the bike is in zero pedal assist.

“So we’re going to see how easy it is to pedal this bike without power because I might have to do that today…when you have it in zero pedal assist it’s just you and the bike the throttle doesn’t even work as I didn’t figure that it would.”

Throttle and Pedal Assist Speeds

• Testing speed with different combinations of pedal assist and throttle.
• Testing speed at different gear levels with pedal assist only.
• Noting the maximum speeds achieved at different pedal assist levels.

Testing the Power Mode

• Switching to normal mode which provides 750 watts of power.
• Testing throttle and pedal assist speeds in normal mode.
• Noting the maximum speeds achieved at different pedal assist levels.

“We’ve now switched into normal mode…we’re doing five miles an hour…we’re doing nine miles an hour…we’re doing 18 miles an hour…we’re doing 24 miles an hour…we’re doing 27 miles an hour…we’re doing 28 miles an hour…”

Testing the Sport Mode

• Switching to sport mode which provides 1000 watts of power.
• Testing throttle only in sport mode.
• Noting the maximum speed achieved in sport mode.

“We have it in sport mode…we’re in pedal assist one…we don’t get the maximum amount of power until you get to like that fourth and fifth gear…we’re doing like nine miles…we’re doing 23…we’re doing 28 miles an hour…”

Sizing and Height of the Bike

• Demonstrating the riding height and adjustability of the bike.
• Noting the lowest and highest setting for the seat and stem.
• Highlighting the size and height of the bike.

“This is the riding height that I have…this is how low the seat goes…but if we go up to the highest point…that would be the highest setting on each part of this bike…this bike is 69 inches which means that whenever I stand it up to get it into the garage in between my two cars, well it’s the same height as I am there.”

Hill Test

• Testing the bike’s performance on a hill in different power levels.
• Attempting to ascend the hill using throttle only.
• Testing the bike’s ability to climb the hill in each power mode.
• The bike’s normal mode provides 750W of power, but it doesn’t offer significant increases in speed.
• The bike performs well in both normal and sport mode.

“The bike’s normal mode doesn’t provide much more speed or power, but it performs well in both normal and sport mode.”

Riding Experience

• The cruise control feature is enjoyable to use, making it easy to cruise around the city
• The full suspension of the bike effectively absorbs roughness on Chicago streets, providing a comfortable ride
• The bike feels comfortable and suitable for long rides

“I am really enjoying the cruise control on this bike. The full suspension works really well and makes the ride super easy and comfortable.”

Testing Speed and Power

• The bike’s speedometer is slightly off by about one mile per hour
• The bike takes a longer time to reach 20 miles per hour in eco mode with pedal assist level five
• The bike reaches 20 miles per hour faster in normal mode and even faster in sport mode
• The bike’s top speed reaches 28 miles per hour

“The bike’s speedometer is slightly off, but it reaches 20 miles per hour faster in normal mode and even faster in sport mode. It can reach a top speed of 28 miles per hour.”

Brake Test

• In the brake test, the bike takes around 33 to 38 feet to fully stop after reaching speeds over 20 miles per hour

Riding in Traffic

• Riding a bike is preferred in traffic-heavy areas like Chicago
• The cruise control feature is helpful in such situations

“I would rather take a bike in heavy traffic, and the cruise control feature is helpful in such situations.”

Pedal Assist and Throttle Response

• The throttle response is immediate without any delays
• The pedal assist kicks in relatively soon, at about a quarter turn of the pedals

“The bike has immediate throttle response and the pedal assist kicks in relatively soon, at about a quarter turn of the pedals.”

Walk Mode

• The bike has a walk mode that can be activated by holding down the minus button

Walking Speed and Battery Power

• The person is walking at a speed of 1.9 miles per hour.
• The walk is comfortable and not too fast.
• The battery power is at 20% and there is around 26.8 miles left.

“This is probably the perfect speed.”

Progress and Battery Percentage

• The person feels they are in a good spot and should make it home.
• They are at the 606 trail, which is 3 miles from their house.
• The battery power is at 28.6 miles and 2%.
• They are doubtful if they will make it but they hope to get close enough to ride it home.

“I don’t think I’m gonna make it but at least we should be close enough to where I can ride this bad boy home.”

Power Delivery and Battery Percentage

• The battery power quickly dropped from 20% to 7%.
• The bike is still delivering 300+ Watts of power even at 0% displayed on the battery.
• There is a decrease in power, but it is not pulsing or making it difficult to ride.

“I mean we’re now down to 170 something watts of power that is delivering as opposed to the 500 or 750 or 300 that it was giving me, but it’s not pulsing. It’s not making it difficult to ride.”

Impressions and Remaining Power

• The bike is still providing power even at zero watts and zero percent battery.
• The throttle still works when the battery is very low.
• Other bikes typically do not provide throttle at such low power levels.

“Also impressive, a lot of other bikes when it gets this low on power especially zero percent battery and it’s down into the hundreds it would not give you any throttle at all, and this bike still does so anyway. Bravo, Bravo on the Engwe Engine Pro.”

Distance Traveled and Final Thoughts

• The bike traveled 31.8 miles, which is impressive for a fold-up bike.
• The ride was smooth and the bike felt solid.
• Suggestions for improvement include a higher torque level for easier uphill rides and a louder horn.
• Ghost pedaling at higher speeds can be fixed by changing out the teeth in the front sprocket.
• Overall, the bike is solid and highly recommended.

“This bike is a great deal. It’s a solid bike.” “The engine pro has kind of changed my mind on how I feel about the Engwe bikes.” “If you are interested in this bike, I recommend it. This is a great bike.”
