A Taste of the FUTURE for Electric Bikes? Engwe P275 Pro Review

Would you ride an automatic Ebike? Links to reviews of my favourite ebikes are in the description below.

Your description for the sensor at 1:30 is incorrect. That sensor monitors the wheel speed for your LCD Display & does not have any effect on the hub shifting gears. The gear shifting takes place due to centrifugal force releasing shift pawls in the hub to engage the next level of the 3 available gears.

Not for me. I like to change gear when i want to. Peoples cadence is different for each rider and an auto takes that away.

Wow this is impressive! Fantastic review my friend

Would like to see an updated review if an unlock is forth coming... Gr8 Vid as always.

Another excellent video. It's a fair review and it would irritate me nothing being able to choose my choice of gear. My only feedback is that this video was longer than needed as some point were repeteated. I like special fx analogy 👍

An excellent review of a very interesting ebike. The implemented combination of mid drive, automatic gears and torque sensor does seem somewhat counter-intuitive in that it makes you put in more effort than a normal ebike.

you are correct it needs a gear hold or a choice , you need a faster cadence for hills with a mid motor , this one looks to slow a cadence and is going to make you slog up the hills , not good if you are not fit or disabled in some way .

I married a 750 watt bafang mid drive to a 360 nuvinci hub, with autoshift, 10 years ago. Not a new idea…but work well together, because the ampdraw from the motor is minimized when starting from a standstill, because the hub shifts to the highest ratio automatically. 48 volt, 10 amp/hr battery is plenty to climb insane grades👍

Weird!! I have just been for a bike round JLR, the Canal and up to the Concrete hill. So I come back home put YouTube on and the first thing that pops up is your vid ( never seen your podcast before)and your cycling around Fordhouses past my house. So strange coincidence.. anway I've subscribed..good reviews!😊

Impressive range. Good use of mechanical advantage.

It's probably a no from me, 'cos I'm too lazy & worry about real pedaling. I gave that stuff up in my nineties! Interesting review and well done at conveying how it felt to ride it.

I love your channel! What would you say the best budget ebike is at the moment? For let's say around €1000.

We want the Future NOWWW! 🤙🏽⚡️🤟🏽⚡️🤙🏽 I really like belt drive, since I do not like chain grease 😭👌🏽 Woah, auto-gear shift 😲🔥 I'd rather bright wheel rims than bright battery. Could have been a lot better in design implementation

Auto bikes are not new. I have a Shimano Steps Raleigh Strada which I purchased in 2017. It has a Di2 rear hub and can be ridden in manual or fully auto. The gear change, in auto, is dependant on speed and cadence and can be adjusted on the headset. In manual it's just a press up or down on a rocker switch.

Are you going to do a review of the Fiido C11? Seems like a brilliant bike for the price.

I prefer self build, all shop bought seem restricted. Not sure about auto though. That loss of torque means more work for motor and eat through battery quicker.

Pity they couldn't have incorporated something like the Sturmey Archer 3spd hub gears. Just to give you some sort of manual selection.

You can ride the P275 Pro faster if you move the speed sensor. The display will be worthless if you put a magnet on the padel crank but you fool the bike to assist you getting more speed. Check other videos on how it's done on most ebikes.

With a enviolo gearbox link with a gates carbon belt on a Bafang 510 mid motor ( 95Nm ) the most powerful legal 250 watt motor, would transform this Ebike. But it would cost more money. Nearest Ebike to this specification is the Tenways AGO T with the Bafang M420 250watts 50/80 Nm and enviolo gearbox at 2,700 euros. It’s obvious this Ebike at 32 kilos is underpowered with the Bafang M200 mid drive motor and 60 Nm of torque. I understand the maximum legal 250 watts motor are being reviewed in the near future for higher watt motor to be available in the Uk .
