Hands-on/Engwe
Every summer, I usually end up on a new e-bike and e-scooter combination for my commuting around both Brooklyn and the more suburban Virginia town where my family resides. This year, alongside my Navee UT5 Ultra X SuperScooter, I’ve been cruising around on Engwe’s new M20 3.0 Moped-Style e-bike, and boy, is it quite the surprise ride. Our readers may know that since last year, I’ve been loving my time on Lectric’s XP4 750 Folding Utility e-bike, and I still do, but ENGWE has put out quite the more budget-friendly option with this new ride, and both the single and dual-battery configurations bring along longer travelling distances and plenty of top-notch features, all packed inside a very stylish e-bike. Even my family has been enjoying it over their legacy Rad Power Bike models, and they’ve been quite impressed by its performance for the price. You can get my hands-on impressions from my time riding this new model down below.
Engwe’s M20 3.0 is more moped than e-bike
Anyone familiar with Engwe knows that the brand has been really playing around with the line between an e-bike and a moped on many of its designs, and while the M20 3.0’s descriptive part of its name suggests it is the former, just looking at its performance specs tells you that this is a moped disguised as an e-bike. I highly recommend not riding it without a helmet, and for all that is holy, don’t go giving this to a teenager without limiting the speeds; otherwise, you’ll most likely be hearing from your HOA and/or neighbors.
