[Upbeat Music] Hello everyone, here is BK42, and
welcome back to another e-bike review today I want to show you the DYU D3F, which
is an affordable 14-inch electric bike DYU sent this to me to review for you and I assure you that I did ride it around for
a few weeks and I do have some honest feedback the D3F is simple to operate
there are no shifters, cassettes or derailleurs as it’s a single-speed bike
this simplicity is great, but I have more gears that would improve the
ride experience and the range this mini bike weighs only 17kg and the
portability is another great plus for DYU the handlebars and pedals are foldable and the
saddle can be removed to make the bike smaller this bike can be stored almost anywhere a small cutout section in the battery housing
allows you to grip the frame like a handle this is great to move the bike up and down
I really like it the DYU D3F is suitable for riders from 150
to 186cm with a maximum payload of 120 kg even being such a small bike
I can seat comfortably on it there is plenty of space between
my knees and the handlebars let’s run down the operating buttons
the left-hand grip has the power on/off button and a sweet little bell
the right-hand grip is where the battery indicator, the cruise control
and the headlight on/off button are located the full-size twist grip throttle is also there
just like in a motorcycle the cruise control is a blast
it can be started at any speed with a single button press
deactivate using the brake levers press and hold the button for 3
seconds to turn on the headlights of course, holding it down will turn it off
remind that the headlight is mounted to the frame and not the fork, so the headlight
does not turn to match the steering direction there is a little taillight, battery operated I got a rear light on my
bike needing a new battery no big deal, but it could also be
integrated into the main battery the DYU D3F comes in 14-inch tires, a
250-watt hub motor, 36V 10Ah battery and it is just a bit bigger than an electric scooter
setting up this bike is very easy as you can see in this video here and the
battery arrives almost fully charged speaking of the batteries, it takes about
five to six hours to fully charge the battery the battery is not removable and must be
charged using this small charging port here the range is about 37km in pedal assist mode
not bad for such a small battery the maximum speed is 21km/h
it should be around 25km/h but my bike doesn't run that fast
maybe it's somehow speed limited there is no LCD displays, so reprogramming
the bike settings isn't easy, as well there is no speed and millage display
but this bike is meant to be simple and affordable, so that's fine
in the rear wheel is the 250-watt motor legal according to EU regulations
it definitely helps in climbing hills by the way, the maximum
climbing angle is 15 degrees the brakes are good
they are mechanical brakes with 160 mm rotors and they stop the bike shortly when used
there are motor inhibitors that cut the engine power as soon the brakes are used
left is the rear brake and right is the front brake
the design of the D3F is very unique the frame shape, the matte black, and
the red details make it a great design the aluminum frame is sturdy and the wires running
into the frame give it a very special touch riding the D3F is pretty comfortable, but
cycling isn’t so when the battery dies the handgrips are ok and the handlebar is stable
there is no front or rear suspension and it comes with front and rear plastic
fenders and the taillight included the little kickstand is also
strong and holds the bike very well there's a noise coming from the battery case, so
I'll have to open it up to see what's going on but that's for another video
do I recommend this bike? Yes, I do
for those looking for an entry-level electric bike, or trying to
spend about $500 on a portable electric bike the D3F is a great commuter bike, but it
can also be a great bike for the elderly easy to assemble and even easier to use if this is the right bike for you
I’ll add an affiliate link below that's it for today, so please comment below
and let me know what you think about this bike stay tuned, lots to come…
