Joieem Ebike X Review - The Most Futurist eBike I've Ever Tested!

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhi Chris here with a super modern looking futuristic e-bike this smart e-bike is from  Joieem it's called The ebike X and it's a model that does have built-in 4G support GPS anti-theft  so if I was to move this without unlocking it it would set off an alarm and it does have full app  support with the bike it has a rear hub motor and you'll see that it's got this belt drive here now  the belt drive is from a company called top trans it's carbon belt drive so that means we have no  gears but we don't have any maintenance no chain to oil now this motor's maximum output is 350  Watts with the US version and 250 Watts with the EU model and we've got brakes from Zoom they are  their ex-tech now this is a hydraulic caliper but it is still cable pull the bike comes with these  road tires from CST they are 700 by 40c the size of them the pedals are some lightweight plastic  pedals and we do have our torque sensor it's using the mobile system or the torque sensor  and the motor I've seen this on many other belt driven e-bikes so what gives the bike it's real  modern look is this Frame design here you can see that there's no support beam here it's this  part that is reinforced now and we do have a removable battery it's a Samsung cell battery  10 amp hours and they do claim the range is 80 to 100 kilometers you also notice that the bike looks  quite Sleek because the cabling is all internally routed within the frame so we don't have any  ugly looking cables on the outside of it like you do with some other e-bikes  anybody noticed this around the outside so it has this ambient light strip you can configure it via  the application it also acts as our left and right indicators and it's very good at night to  increase your visibility as you can see now it's super bright and it's cycling now just through  a demo of all the different colors that it can display this ambient light strip so not only does  it make it look modern it really does add to your improved visibility when riding around on the road  incorporated into the frame we do have a rear tail light you can set this to be always on  Via the app if you wanted to do so and a very powerful five LED headlamp as you can see it  lights up the path ahead so I really do like the Fantastic lighting that the e-bike X comes  with so the battery does take about four to five hours to charge and when you fit it in  place here it is locked within there there is some buttons here on the bike here to unlock and lock  it so there's no physical lock and key it's all done via the bike itself and the application to  lock and unlock the bike the seat that joem has selected does have a nice amount of padding to  it it is comfortable now you can raise and drop the height of it but you will need an allen key  because it is screwed into place there is no quick release with this particular seat post the bike  does cater to Rider Heights of 170 centimeters to 190 centimeters and the weight of it is 24 kilos  does have NFC support we've got our power button right here and this handlebar this is non-height  adjustable unfortunately we cannot drop or raise the height of this so the bike is using  its own grips here they're kind of like a lock grip star because they do not spin around they  are comfortable and the brake levers do feel good and you can see we do have a bell here  so a great day to be testing out the super ultra modern looking bike here and I do like  the different style of it the frame it certainly stands out it's been getting a lot of attention  I've had a lot of people stop and talk to me ask me what e-bike is that uh so if you after that  in a bite then you'll definitely have it but if you don't want the attention then maybe it's not  the kind of bike you want to get here so what is it like to ride now the riding position it  caters to 170 to 190 centimeter height Riders so it's like a large frame size and I find that  I'm in a mostly upright position here riding now remember you cannot adjust the handlebar height  that is completely fixed here and the handlebar width is reasonably short here but it's not too  bad overall it is comfortable now the torque sensor I've got it in the pedal assist level  uh three at the moment so we've got one two and three and up to 25 kilometers per hour and when  you start to peel the more you give it the more it will give you in return with that  torque sensor and the torque sensor by the way gives it power straight away very smooth power  delivery and you really don't hear the motor at all so it's 350 Watts with the US version  and 250 with the Euro version to remain legal of course and right in here very smooth indeed  so you may occasionally hear some rattle coming from the bike  and it does make a little bit of noise now and then now top speed up to 25 kilometers per hour  with the EU version that I have and I can happily ride up to around about 32 kilometers per hour top  speed and of course once you go over 25 the motor does cut out and you're on your own Pedal Power  but the way it's geared with the single gear the large 700c Wheels it's very comfortable for  cruising around on the road and now for the climb tier so this is about a 20 degree climb now we've  got 40 Newton meters of torque and up to 350 Watts with the international version or the US version  and 250 with the EU version now I'm pedaling here and going up at a reasonably good rate  and this is working out to be a lot better than I expected considering it's just a single speed  but I'm now having to put where it gets a little bit steeper right here a lot more effort into  this so the climbing performance I would rate as average in fact above average for single speed  and at 250 Watts it's going okay but I really do need to put quite a bit of effort into this  now if we turn the pedal assist off completely and then becomes oh very difficult I need to  stand up and power through this in fact wow that's really almost impossible so  emergency braking test from 30 kilometers per hour from the White Post one two threeokay not bad I made it to this post here reasonably good braking performance so it's  160 millimeter disc brakes now it's a hydraulic caliper but it still is a cable pull system  so this is definitely a bike you want to keep to those commutes that are just on mostly flat  areas so it is going to be a great City commute bike something that's very modern of course with  the GPS the anti-theft tracking geolocation geofencing all of that means you can lock the  bike down you can track it too as well as long as it has battery power that is you'll be able  to track and follow wherever your bike is so gentle little climbs like this not a problem  it's just those very steep climbs you are going to get a workout and here is our application so  it's not the final version of the app but this is just to give you an idea so you'll see our  remaining battery life the speed you can lock and unlock the bike via the application you've got our  pedal assist levels right here some information on your ride quick controls here so setting the  units between miles kilometers movement alarm the LED switch your headlight and the inductive  unlock right there writing history and a few other things here so you can locate where the  bike is anywhere because it's transmitting as long as that battery is in it it's got the GPS  and the 4G it will transmit its location to you so geolocation go now vehicle info battery info  as mentioned before it's using Samsung cells and down here we just have a ranking thing social a  few other features your own profile and there are some settings in here so it's a useful application  with a lot of different functions now the range of the e-bike X they do claim to be about 52 to  60 miles or around about 80 to 100 kilometers now I can see that riding around on the flat that you  should be able to get around about at least 80 kilometers out of this bike with the carbon belt  drive and then when you ride over 25 kilometers per hour of course you're not even touching and  using that 10 amp hour battery so this is a fantastic very futuristic looking bike and  really do love this ambient light strip around the outside especially at night time how bright it is  and all the customization different colors that it can show is great that would be uh built-in  front headlight the tail light it is quite a safe nighttime riding bike you've got the indicators  there as well now it is great having the 4G connectivity with it so it's using an esome  the 4G modem it's got GPS and you can even set up geofencing and you've got that anti-firth function  and even tracking where the bike's location is all very good and I do like the fact that the battery  pack here is locked in to the bike and it cannot just be removed because of its locking mechanism  that it does have now areas of improvement well the braking performance I would rate as good it's  above average compared to some of the other bikes I've tested out but I would like to see a proper  full hydraulic system when it comes to the brakes it is hydraulic the caliper but the rest of it is  Cable cable pull for it and why they've done that I'm not too sure maybe it's the way that  they've routed the cables through it but hydraulic they should still be able to do that anyway the  climbing performance of the bike is a lot better than the other carbon belt drive e-bikes that I  have reviewed because they're about 250 Watts this one's 350 the maximum and I believe I do actually  have the 350 watt version here now after those climbing tests it cannot be the 250 because it  does climb just so much better than the others even though they're basically get up the same  with that single speed which of course is the downside to this bike so you don't have a chain  that you need to maintain you have to lubricate it they're messy and all that but you've only  just got that single speed so if you've got huge climbs hills around you you're going to have to  work quite hard with this particular bike and you will certainly get fit but for those City commutes  A to B really loving this bike here so thanks so much for watching my review of The Joy m e-bike x\n"
