I've Bought An E-Bike: Ado A20+ My First Impressions (Part 1)

 My apologies for the poor audio quality in parts of this video, it was an extremely windy day.

Well, after 18 months of indecision, I have finally taken the plunge and bought myself an e-bike. I have spent many hours over the past year checking specifications and watching YouTube reviews on bikes. The bikes I was researching were the Ado A20+, Fildo D4s, and the Himo Z20.  I eventually chose the ADO A20+

In this video, I am just sharing my thoughts on the functionality of the bike and running through a few of the more important settings, plus showing a few of the accessories I have added so far. There are plenty of excellent videos on YouTube showing the unboxing and specifications of the A20 and A20+ so I have just cut to the point, and I am giving my opinion on the bike.

My only gripe so far is the power/battery lock position on the underside of the frame., I suppose if they located it on the top or side, there could be waterproofing issues. It is really fiddly, and you end up on your knees feeling for the hole half the time. I suppose, in time, I will get used to it.
