Ebike Duotts C29 - honest review after 600 km

Hello everyone! In this comprehensive review, I present the Duotts C29 electric bike, which I purchased with my own money. I've ridden over 600 kilometers on it to thoroughly understand this equipment and share an honest opinion with you. The video covers everything from assembly to controller settings, pros and cons, and my final impressions. I also answer your questions, show how to unlock the maximum speed, and share a discount code. Would I buy it again? Watch to find out!

Duotts became interested in the series of videos I published about this bike. We managed to get the discount amount increased for viewers to -100 euros. Use code JOTEM.

Finalmente una recensione sincera e completa. L’ho comprata e non vedo l’ora di seguire i tuoi consigli per perfezionarla. Grazie

Excellent review, thank you.
It has made me go and check out a handlebar riser as I'm 193cm tall and don't want to be hunched over on my daily commute.
I think I'll be ordering one of these.

[iswaraenricochiarucci]

real honest review men and precious suggestions! tomorrow my c29 will be delivered we'll see..

[jeremielatreille]

Thanks, that's great and honest work 👍

[bellyacres]

that looks fun
I have the falcon step thru & upgraded the tyres & tubes as the 1st ride the sidewalls got pierced by stems.
oh well
the rest of the ebike seems good, & yeah I put a stem riser on it during assembly. [Im 6'4"]
I kinda thought I needed it, before I bought it.

these duott ebikes have me interested.
look like they could be fun.

Thanks for the 600km-update. This is exactly the info I was searching for. I have an eBike from China myself and it had the same issues as the DUOTTS. I needed to change the spoakes, the software is bad, the inner tubes were of low quality and so were some screws. Also only one month after buying a major part (I don't know what it's called) broke and needed to be replaced. Costs: 20 EUR. I think in addition to the buying price of 700 Euros I paid an additional 200 Euros for new parts and repairs. And that's the reason why I wanted to get the info you provided. I'll rethink whether to buy the DUOTTS or not.

Best review. I remember you sharing the tire issue on the Facebook group.

What are the changes you would make with the extra 150 euros. I wish you touched that a bit

[warlockboyburns]

I read somewhere that the rule of thumb is that a hub motor will go 3x is rated power so 750w is really 2250 I would be interested to see if the controller can handle 72v 30amps (2160w)

[DannysBrickfilms]

Great review! I have just bought this bike. I'm a bit concerned about the tyres exploding! Would you recommend getting them slimed?

[keyboardpatriot]

What is the maximum width tyres that can be fitted on the bike please?

[ihenrynl]

got mine last week so still testing all the settings, derailleur needs some adjustments so thats the first thing on my list to sort out, breaks are fine when set right, front break needs to be soft, otherwise you fly of the handlebars on a fast stop. setting it to 67 unlocks, but gives full power in lower speeds. you have set p3 at 36volts? its only for an accurate battery status on display, its not regulating the max voltage i believe. or did yours come with an 36volts polly? p7 is set at 01, but 80 works too it seems, how did you came up to 80?( its usually magnets * rotations of motor gear for 1 full 360 cicle), and have set p18 to 50 that seems to lower the watts to 250watts to tame this beast.

[alvaroescriva]

Uau, this is a great video and you explain everything so well 👏🏻👏🏻
I Just took my c29 for my first ride today and I was really concerned it was wrong because it does not assist, it takes you right to the maximum speed.
I found tour video and now I understand. Did you find a way to program this bike like you can do with a bafang motor or do we have to wait for a software update?
Thanks!

[diamxnd]

Would I be able to take your 250w user manual so that I have 'evidence' mine isn't 750w?

[keyboardpatriot]

I have this bike, how can I prevent my tyres exploding buy better quality inner tubes?

[comradefayz]

anyone know the top speed if you get a dual battery with it?

[lukef]

Hi, does anyone know the controller used on this bike. I am planning on doing a long distance europe trip and i want to take a spare. Thanks

[leopemberton]

Thank you for fantastic review .but in level 1 power assist can you ride slow around local streets .can you cycle bike at 5 to 10 mph using electric power .thank you

[onnikukkonen]

How does it handle cold tempatures or rain?

[AdKraneveld]

I have an OT18 bike with a C869 display. If I press the plus and minus I can only get to 4 in the programming.
How can I get to the rest?
