With a dual battery option, the range is ideal for all-day rides and those needing significant assistance.
The disc brakes are adequate but could really have benefited from hydraulic options.
With a fish-inspired design reminiscent of the Super73, the M20 is a great-looking bike.
The lack of hydraulic brakes is disappointing, especially considering the top speed reaches 45 km per hour.
All in all, the M20 is a great-looking bike with a superb cycling range.
The range you get for the price makes the M20 a very appealing package indeed.
For that budget price, it is quite remarkable what you get in the box.
Engwe M20: Design
The Engwe M20 delivers when it comes to design.
Everything about the colors, materials, and overall design makes this a great-looking e-bike.
After a fairly easy process of unboxing and building, I struggled to take my eyes off the bike.
The fish-inspired design looks very similar to the Super73 bike but comes in at a fraction of the price.
The full 35 kg means it’s not for the faint-hearted.
The tyres might be the thing I noticed first about this bike.
Everything that you gotta get on the bike is included in the box.
The front lights are added using two bolts, while the rear lights are pre-installed.
Engwe M20: Performance
I was really impressed by the overall performance of the Engwe M20.
They are accessible without needing to look at the buttons and are responsive enough to deliver immediate impact.
Unfortunately, the power is lacking when it comes to hills and inclines steeper than 10 degrees.
You don’t want to be pedaling this heavy beast up any steep hills.
They were a little too grabby for my liking and did rub a bit.
Each battery takes around five hours to charge, but only one charging cable is included.
The range of a single battery drops to 55 km in electric mode one.
This is more than enough for daily commutes or even a day out on the bike.
You want an affordable e-bikeThe M20 is a budget-friendly bike that has a really reasonable set of specs.
The great range and good looks for this price make it a very appealing package.
The bike is cumbersome to move around and not for the faint-hearted.
You want great build qualityDue to the price you’re not going to get the best quality parts.
Shimano gears and disc brakes are adequate but not high-end.
As a result, pedaling, for some, will be extremely cumbersome.
Heavy rain meant I could properly test the brakes and the mud guards.
Both performed adequately, considering their construction.
The variable weather also meant the tyres got a good run-out.
Their significant size and tread depth surpassed all requirements I could throw at them.
