The Secret Town That Could Be Saved by This Electric Vehicle Estarli Ecargo
This video explores the potential of the Estarli eCargo Longtail cargo bike to solve delivery challenges in the narrow streets of St Ives. The reviewe... morer highlights the bike's capability to navigate tight spaces and ascend steep hills, suggesting it as an eco-friendly alternative to traditional delivery vans. While the video showcases the bike's practical application through deliveries and hill tests, it lacks detailed technical specifications or direct comparisons. The core idea presented is that such cargo bikes can significantly ease urban traffic congestion and reduce environmental impact. The reviewer's verdict leans positive, emphasizing the eCargo's suitability for specific urban logistics needs, though a definitive conclusion on its overall viability for the town is left open-ended. less
5 Electric Cars That Are Slightly Arousing
This video highlights five unconventional electric cars that deviate from the typical EV stereotype of compromise and lack of excitement. The reviewer... more expresses enthusiasm for unique designs and features, moving away from mainstream SUVs. The potential Motors Adventure One is noted for its immense power (600 bhp) but criticized for its low 100-mile range and high $120,000 price tag, with a caveat that it may be off-road only. The Squad Solar is praised for its innovative parking capabilities and solar charging, offering 30 km of range from the sun, though its battery range is also 100 km; its low price of $6,800 makes it an affordable city option. The Microlino is lauded for its retro design, city-specific utility, and 200 km range, despite its modest 17 horsepower. The Nissan Sakura is presented as a practical and comfortable Japanese 'kei' car, notable for its ability to power a home for up to 24 hours, though its specs are secondary to its utility. Finally, the Nio ET5 is positioned as a performance-oriented estate car, offering up to 550 km range and a 0-60 mph time of 4 seconds, appealing to those seeking speed and practicality. A bonus mention of the Praag Interceptor, a rugged Indian military SUV, is included for its unique, doorless design. less
Road Testing the New VW ID.7 | Your Questions Answered!
The VW ID.7 Pro is presented as a highly competitive electric fastback saloon, emphasizing its 'big range' and fast-charging capabilities. T... morehe reviewer highlights the car's aerodynamic design, spacious interior with ample legroom (though headroom is slightly compromised by the sloping roofline), and a luxurious, tranquil cabin ambiance enhanced by ambient lighting and a panoramic sunroof. A standout feature is the exceptionally comfortable 'Ergo seats' with massage functions, designed for long journeys. The infotainment system shows marked improvement in speed and responsiveness compared to previous models. Handling is praised for its incredible grip, elegance, and balance, particularly on winding mountainous roads, with the refined chassis effectively soaking up imperfections. The augmented reality head-up display is noted as a useful, albeit 'trippy', feature. However, the reviewer points out some minor drawbacks, including slightly scratchy plastics on the door handles and center console, and the continued use of distracting haptic touch controls for the steering wheel. The navigation's line color could also be improved for clarity. The car's price is a significant concern, deemed very expensive, with a call for VW to introduce more affordable entry-level models. less
This New Brompton E-bike Conversion Kit Is Tiny!
This video reviews the new Boost e-bike conversion kit specifically designed for Brompton bicycles. The reviewer highlights its key advantage: a signi... moreficantly lighter and more compact design compared to the official Brompton electric offering, maintaining the bike's minimalistic ethos and folding capabilities. The kit features a 250W rear hub motor with 35-40 Nm of torque, compliant with EU/UK law, offering Eco, Boost, and a 10-second Super Boost mode for quick acceleration or inclines. The reviewer notes the kit adds only 2.5 kg and uses titanium bolts for weight saving. Real-world testing on an 8% gradient showed the kit could maintain a healthy 10 mph average, with Super Boost providing a noticeable, albeit brief, extra push. The claimed range of up to 30 km (18 miles) was not fully achieved in testing, with the reviewer managing 13 miles, primarily using Boost mode and Super Boost at traffic lights. This range is deemed sufficient for Brompton's intended use as a multimodal commuter or last-mile solution. A crucial consideration is that fitting the Boost kit will likely invalidate the Brompton's original warranty. The kit is currently crowdfunded, with pre-orders at £599 and an expected retail price of £999, with first deliveries anticipated for late 2023. less
The Electric Bike That Everyone Wants to Ride | ADO Air 28
The ADO Air 28 electric bike is presented as a highly desirable commuter, praised for its exceptionally smooth and silent ride, attributed to its carb... moreon belt drive and single-speed setup. The torque sensor is highlighted as a significant upgrade over cadence sensors, providing a natural and proportional assist. Its Dutch-style design, low step-through frame, and large tires contribute to stability and an upright riding position, making it accessible for a wide range of riders. The integrated battery and sleek design are aesthetically pleasing. However, the bike's 21kg weight is noted, and its single-speed nature makes it challenging on very steep hills, leading to a recommendation for geared bikes in such terrains. Real-world range tests showed approximately 42 miles on max assist and 50 miles with lower, more varied assist levels. The reviewer also demonstrated a clever integration of an Apple AirTag into the bike's bell for added security. less
Honda WTF Were You Thinking?!
The Honda E:NY1 enters the mainstream EV market with a starting price of £43,000, rising to £47,000 for the top-spec Advanced model. While it offers a... more respectable estimated range of 256 miles, a significant improvement over the Honda e, it fails to capture the brand's signature quirkiness, feeling more like a generic mainstream SUV. The reviewer highlights several disappointments, including the lack of practicality offered by the absence of Honda's signature 'magic seats' due to the battery placement, and a manual blind for the panoramic sunroof. The charging speed is also noted as a concern, with a maximum of 78kW potentially leading to longer charging times compared to rivals. On the positive side, the interior quality is praised as being on par with other Honda products, and the driving dynamics are described as engaging and comfortable, with well-weighted steering. However, the high price point and the lack of unique selling propositions make it a difficult car to recommend against strong competition. less
The Smallest E-Bike Conversion Kit Just Got Cheaper
The Electroheads team visits Swytch HQ to test their highly portable e-bike conversion kits. The review highlights the ease of installation, with the ... morehost successfully converting their own bike in under 20 minutes, involving swapping the wheel, fitting a pedal sensor, and attaching the handlebar connector. The reviewer praises the low drag of the motor wheel when not in use and the smooth, effortless assist provided by the system, particularly with the optional display offering five power levels. A key selling point is the kit's minimal weight addition (around 3kg) and the battery's claimed 'pocket-sized' portability, which is demonstrated with various pocket types. The upcoming 'GO' kit is introduced as a more affordable option with an extended range of up to 40 miles, though it uses simple velcro straps and a single cable connection instead of the fully cableless design of the 'Air' battery. The overall verdict is highly positive, emphasizing the kits' affordability, ease of use, and ability to transform a regular bike into an e-bike without compromising the original riding experience. less
This Insane E-Bike Can Climb Any Hill - Tested
The Estarli E20.8 Play e-bike is put to the test in Bath, a city renowned for its challenging hills. The reviewer highlights its portability, power, a... morend adaptability, noting its ability to tackle steep inclines, tarmac, and towpaths with ease. The 50 Nm motor and 8-speed Shimano gears provide ample assistance, making even challenging climbs manageable. While the bike boasts a sleek design with a discreet battery, its claimed range of 50km (31 miles) is questioned. In real-world testing, with the reviewer weighing 64kg and carrying heavy camera equipment, the bike achieved 25 miles on level five assist, primarily on varied terrain. The reviewer points out that the slender battery, while aesthetically pleasing, likely contributes to its smaller capacity. However, Estarli is developing a booster battery pack to double the range. The bike's hydraulic brakes are effective, and despite lacking suspension, it offers a comfortable ride on most surfaces, though rough potholes can be jarring. Overall, the E20.8 Play is recommended for those seeking a portable, capable e-bike for mixed-terrain adventures, with the caveat of its current range limitations, which may be addressed by the upcoming battery extension. less
The Easiest Electric Bike Review I’ve Ever Done | Tenways CGO600 Pro
The Tenways CGO600 Pro is presented as a refined version of its predecessor, building on a familiar platform with several key upgrades. The reviewer h... moreighlights the larger, removable battery (360 Wh) and the integrated front light as significant improvements. The Gates carbon belt drive and torque sensor are praised for providing a natural, bionic feel, though the single-speed nature means some effort is required to push past the 15.5 mph EU limit, albeit marginally easier than the original CGO600. Hill tests demonstrated manageable performance with 40 Nm of torque, suitable for moderate inclines, especially in flatter terrains like London. However, the lack of suspension means riders will feel speed bumps and potholes more acutely, necessitating active rider input to absorb impacts. The reviewer also notes the bike's suitability for varied terrains, but its true strength lies on tarmac. The real-world range test, conducted entirely on level 3 assist on flat terrain, yielded 63.9 km (approx. 39.7 miles), falling slightly short of the claimed 100 km (62 miles), but still respectable given the max assist usage. The removable battery is a key feature for security and convenient charging. Overall, the Pro is seen as an easy upgrade for existing CGO600 owners or a solid choice for those seeking a low-maintenance, urban-focused e-bike, provided they are aware of its limitations regarding suspension and hill climbing in very steep areas. less
This Tiny Electric Car Is a Slap in the Face to a Boring Car Industry
The Abarth 500e is presented not as a mere electric car, but as a statement against the mundane automotive industry, aiming to inspire younger generat... moreions. Reviewers highlight its sporty, responsive driving dynamics, with a direct steering and go-kart-like agility, particularly in Track mode. The simulated engine noise and vibrations, while potentially divisive for purists, are noted as adding to the engaging, fun experience, making it feel like a true Abarth. The sound system is praised as surprisingly good. However, the significant price point of £38,195 for the Turismo trim is a major drawback, especially when compared to its ICE counterpart. While the design, including the distinctive lights, indicators, and acid green color, is lauded for its cool aesthetics and head-turning appeal, the lack of gear simulation in acceleration is a point of contention. Rear space is tight, but manageable for shorter journeys. Ultimately, the Abarth 500e is positioned as a fun, stylish, and engaging option for enthusiasts and new buyers alike, proving that smaller can indeed be better. less
The Fancy Electric Bike That's a Cheaper GoCycle Contender
The HonBike HF01 is presented as a compelling, more affordable alternative to premium foldable e-bikes like GoCycle and Brompton. The reviewer highlig... morehts its compact folded size, user-friendly folding mechanism, and the convenience of a removable battery as significant advantages. However, a major drawback identified is its substantial weight (20.8 kg), making it difficult for multi-modal commutes or carrying up stairs. The real-world range test yielded approximately 18.3 miles on max assist, which the reviewer found somewhat underwhelming for the price point, especially given its single-speed nature which becomes a struggle when the battery depletes. Despite these criticisms, the comfortable saddle and decent performance on moderate hills are noted as redeeming qualities, positioning it as a viable option for short, dry commutes if the weight and range limitations are acceptable. less
Watch This Before You Buy a Tesla | Ioniq 6
The Hyundai Ioniq 6 is presented as a striking, futuristic alternative to the prevalent EV SUVs and a potential rival to Tesla. The reviewer highlight... mores its unique, polarizing design, drawing comparisons to Porsche, and praises its aerodynamic efficiency, which contributes to a claimed range of 338 miles (though this is reduced from potential figures due to standard 20-inch wheels in the UK). Interior space, particularly rear legroom, is exceptionally generous. However, the review points out significant drawbacks: a high starting price of £47,000, which is more than a Tesla Model 3, and a cabin that doesn't feel premium enough for the cost, with noticeable plastic use in the door cards and a less luxurious feel than expected. The infotainment system's screen design is also criticized for appearing cheap. Practicality is slightly hampered by the saloon boot opening and the lack of a rear wiper. The car's intrusive speed limit warnings are also a point of contention. Despite these criticisms, the reviewer acknowledges its strong points, particularly the impressive charging capability (220kW) and the availability of both RWD and AWD powertrains with the larger 77.4kWh battery in the UK. less
I've Tested Dozens of Cheap Electric Scooters - And This One Is the Best
The reviewer pits the Riley RS1 against the Techtron Elite 3500 in a search for the best affordable electric scooter. While both scooters offer simila... morer core specifications like a 350W motor and 25km range, the Riley RS1 emerges as the preferred choice due to its significantly more comfortable ride, attributed to its larger, softer tires, which absorb vibrations exceptionally well, even on rough surfaces like cobbles. The reviewer highlights the RS1's superior comfort, allowing for longer rides without discomfort, and its easily detachable battery as key advantages. However, the Techtron Elite 3500 is noted for its slightly quicker acceleration and nimbler handling, making it a good option for heavier riders (over 95kg) or those prioritizing agility. Ultimately, the RS1's comfort and practical features like the detachable battery make it the winner for most users seeking an accessible and comfortable electric scooter. less

The Affordable Way to Ride an Electric Bike? Vässla Pedal
The VÄSSLA Pedal is presented as an accessible entry into the electric bike market, addressing the common barrier of high cost through a unique subscr... moreiption model. The reviewer highlights its Scandinavian design, emphasizing minimalism and thoughtful engineering. Key strengths include a powerful 250W motor with 45 Nm of torque, a maintenance-free carbon belt drive, and integrated safety features like front and rear lights, a rear rack, and geo-tracking. The bike's modularity, allowing for front racks or child seats, enhances its practicality. While the 19kg weight is noted as a potential drawback for those with stairs, the removable battery and robust anti-theft measures offer significant peace of mind. The reviewer praises the smooth, natural assistance from the torque sensor and the comfort provided by chunky 24-inch tires, negating the need for suspension. The app-controlled assist levels and clean, button-free interface are also lauded. The primary takeaway is that despite a premium price point for outright purchase, the subscription model makes this capable and comfortable city e-bike a realistic option for a wider audience, effectively removing ownership hassles. less
Kia EV6 vs. Ford Mustang Mach-E - Which Should You Buy?
This comparison between the Kia EV6 and Ford Mustang Mach-E highlights both vehicles as strong contenders in the electric SUV market. The reviewer pra... moreises the EV6 for its sleek, modern design, smooth power delivery, and refined, comfortable ride, making it feel more settled and easier to live with daily. The interior is lauded for its futuristic feel and practical storage solutions. However, the EV6's sporty roofline compromises rear headroom and the middle rear seat is less practical. The Mustang Mach-E is noted for its muscular styling, practical coupe-like roofline, and impressive range figures, particularly the extended range models. Its interior, while comfortable, is described as more familiar and less futuristic than the EV6's. The Mach-E's power delivery is sharper, but this can make it feel more on edge and less refined over bumps compared to the EV6. Ultimately, the choice between the two comes down to personal preference, with the EV6 excelling in refinement and interior design, while the Mach-E offers potentially longer range and a more muscular aesthetic. less
Electric Brompton Bike Vs Much Cheaper Competitor Estarli E16
This video pits the premium Brompton Electric P Line against the significantly more affordable Estarli E16.7, offering a comprehensive comparison for ... morepotential buyers. The reviewer highlights Brompton's heritage, bespoke technology (developed with Williams Advanced Engineering), and a remarkable seven-year warranty as justifications for its steep £3,695 price tag. Despite lacking suspension, the Brompton's ride is praised for comfort due to its tires, and its brakes are noted as being well-tuned for its smaller 16-inch wheels, though they are described as less responsive than expected. The motor is powerful and responsive thanks to a torque sensor, but can be loud. The Estarli E16.7, priced at £1,295, impresses with its value, offering a comparable ride experience with a more powerful hub motor and chunkier tires that compensate for the lack of suspension. Its 160mm disc brakes are effective, and the bike is praised for its practicality and ease of folding, though its saddle is considered less comfortable than the Brompton's. The reviewer concludes that while the Brompton offers superior build quality, bespoke tech, and warranty, the Estarli provides exceptional value, delivering a very similar experience at a third of the cost, and is deemed to look better by the reviewer. less
The Ideal E-bike for First Time Buyers: Estarli E28
The Estarli E28 is presented as an ideal electric bicycle for first-time buyers, emphasizing its simplicity and ease of use. The reviewer highlights i... morets high-strength aluminum frame, 250-watt motor compliant with UK law, and 28-inch wheels for enhanced stability. Key components from reputable brands like Shimano, Tektro, and Samsung batteries are noted as significant advantages, ensuring reliability and ease of replacement. The bike's understated design, with a well-integrated and hidden battery, makes it less conspicuous and potentially safer when locked up. While the reviewer praises the smooth power delivery from the torque sensor and the comfortable ride, even with basic front suspension, a minor drawback is the lack of a precise percentage indicator for battery life on the integrated display. The real-world range test yielded approximately 47 kilometers (29 miles) on maximum assist (level 5), with the reviewer suggesting lower assist levels would extend this significantly. The bike also proved capable on steep hills. The reviewer concludes that the E28 offers excellent value and trustworthiness, especially for those new to e-bikes, avoiding overly complex technology found in more expensive models. less
Best Kids Electric Scooters - One Stands Out
This review from Electroheads tackles the crucial topic of electric scooters for children, featuring insights from a young reviewer, Gabe's. The ... moreRazor Power Core E90 is highlighted for its robust build quality, impressive battery life matching its claims, and a maintenance-free hub motor, making it a durable option for 8-10 year olds. However, its low ground clearance is a concern for curb hopping, and the simple on/off acceleration button is noted as a minor drawback compared to a more controllable throttle. Gabe's feedback points to a bumpy ride on cobblestones due to the tires and overall noise. Despite these points, the E90 is presented as a solid, well-built scooter with good runtime, though potential buyers should be aware of its limitations on rougher terrain. less
Best Electric Bike Shootout Tenways CGO600 vs Estarli E28
This video presents a detailed comparison between the Tenways CGO600 and the Estarli E28, two electric bikes positioned at a similar price point. The ... morereviewer highlights the Tenways CGO600's lighter weight (15kg vs 16.5kg) and its maintenance-free Gates carbon belt drive as key advantages, alongside integrated lights, hydraulic brakes, and a security code feature. The Estarli E28, while slightly heavier, is praised for its 8-speed gears, making it more adept at tackling hilly terrain, and its use of recognizable components like Shimano Altus. The reviewer notes the hydraulic brakes on the Tenways offer superior stopping power and heat distribution compared to the Estarli's mechanical disc brakes. Comfort is subjective, with the reviewer opting to change seats on both bikes. Ultimately, both bikes receive a five-star rating, with the choice depending on the user's needs: the Tenways CGO600 is recommended for city commuters in flatter areas, while the Estarli E28 is better suited for those in hilly regions due to its gearing. less
These E-Bikes Changed My Life
The reviewer passionately advocates for electric bikes, detailing their transformative impact on personal mobility, finances, and safety. Having exper... moreienced hip surgery, the reviewer highlights how e-bikes provided crucial assistance in recovery and daily movement, alleviating pain and strain. Financially, the video presents a compelling case, contrasting the significant upfront cost of an e-bike with the substantial savings on public transport in London over several months, suggesting the bike pays for itself. Safety is another key theme, with the reviewer recounting a terrifying near-accident with a bus on a non-electric bike and explaining how the speed and agility of an e-bike restore confidence on the road. The reviewer also emphasizes the empowerment e-bikes offer, particularly to women, by providing a safe and independent mode of transport, especially at night. The Estarli E28 is presented as a strong option, though the reviewer's core message is about the broader benefits of e-mobility. less
VW ID. Buzz Review - Can It Live Up to the Hype?
The VW ID. Buzz review highlights its significant anticipation and unique position as an electric reimagining of a classic. The reviewer praises its d... moreistinctive retro styling and ample interior space, particularly for rear passengers and cargo. Practicality is a strong suit, with good boot capacity and charging capabilities noted. However, the driving experience is described as somewhat uninspiring, with a focus on comfort over dynamic performance. The infotainment system receives criticism for being unintuitive and lagging behind competitors. Despite these drawbacks, the ID. Buzz is presented as a compelling, albeit niche, option for those prioritizing style, space, and a unique EV experience over outright performance or cutting-edge tech. less
Is the MG4 Too Good to Be True? Tish Reviews
Tish reviews the MG4, a highly anticipated electric hatchback, and finds it largely lives up to the hype, positioning it as a significant contender fo... morer bringing EVs to the mainstream. The reviewer praises its sporty and modern design, a departure from previous MG models. Inside, the cabin offers surprisingly good space and quality materials, exceeding expectations for its class, though the cloth seats are noted as a potential wear point. The infotainment system, while improved, still suffers from slow response times and the lack of physical climate controls is a notable drawback. The vehicle-to-load system is a welcome addition across all trims. Driving dynamics are a strong point, with the rear-wheel-drive setup offering an engaging experience. Real-world range is impressive, achieving close to the claimed figures. The reviewer highlights the upcoming performance variant and longer-range model as exciting prospects. Overall, the MG4 is lauded for its affordability, strong value proposition, and the message it sends to the industry about building capable, no-compromise EVs. less
This Electric Scooter Is Like Nothing I’ve Ridden Before | Taur E-Scooter
The TAUR E-scooter is presented as a revolutionary step forward in personal electric mobility, aiming to become the new default for street-legal scoot... moreers. The reviewers are highly impressed with its design, safety features, and ride quality. Key highlights include its robust construction, comfortable riding position facilitated by wider foot platforms and larger 12.5-inch Continental tires, and effective braking system combining regenerative front and hydraulic rear brakes. The scooter's quiet operation and minimal steering stem slop are also praised. A unique feature is the throttle's 60-millisecond delay, designed to emulate bicycle coasting. While the scooter excels in many areas, the LED display's visibility in direct sunlight is noted as a drawback requiring future improvement. The video culminates in a race against a car, strongly advocating for the scooter's efficiency and practicality in urban environments like Los Angeles. less
