(Based on Engwe Engine X, Engwe EP-2 PRO, Engwe PRO, Engwe PRO 2.0) by discoverspiderface

Number 1. Shimano 7-Speed Hub. While the 7-speed hub offers decent gearing options, The Shimano 7-speed hub on the Engwe bike is not sufficient for higher speeds, leading to ghost pedaling issues which can be quite frustrating during rides, especially on inclines or during sprints.

Number 2. Thin Paint. The paint quality is disappointing. The paint on the bike is very thin and easily scratched, resulting in a less durable and aesthetically pleasing appearance over time. A more durable finish would significantly enhance its longevity.

Number 3. Loose Screws. Several screws on the bike are loose and prone to loosening further during rides, which could potentially lead to parts becoming detached and lost. This has led to concerns about losing essential components and requires frequent checks to ensure everything is secure.

Number 4. Brakes. The braking system, particularly the mechanical brakes, leaves much to be desired, are squishy even after adjustments, impacting how confidently one can stop. This could be a safety concern, especially for less experienced riders.

Number 5. Chain Corrosion. After my first bike wash, I discovered that the chain started to rust. This raises concerns about durability and maintenance, as regular cleaning is essential to keep the bike in good condition.

Number 6. Wobbly Wheels. Both the front and rear wheels are noticeably off-center, leading to wobbling while riding. This not only diminishes ride quality but also causes the wheels to rub against the brake discs, potentially leading to further issues.

Number 7. Firm Suspension. The suspension, particularly the rear one, is very firm with minimal travel over bumps, resulting in a less comfortable and smooth riding experience, especially on rough terrains.
In conclusion, while the Engwe Electric Bike offers some attractive features and performance, it is essential to be aware of these 7 significant drawbacks to make an informed decision before investing in this model.

In summary, while the Engwe Engine X electric bike has many appealing features and is a worthwhile option for budget-conscious riders, these seven issues are significant. Prospective buyers should weigh these drawbacks against the overall value before making a decision. Happy riding!
