Compare Engwe EP-2 PRO with Engwe ENGINE PRO
As a famous brand for manufacturing quality and cost-effective electric bicycles, Engwe is popular among cyclists and outdoor enthusiasts. In the year 2022, Engwe EP-2 pro and Engwe Engine Pro made it into the top 10 most hot-selling electric bikes in European Union. Although they are both quite fascinating electric bicycles with outstanding pricing, there are differences between them. Here is an article making a side-by-side comparison between them.
Engwe EP-2 Pro vs Engwe Engine Pro: Fat Tire Ebikes
Both of them are popular fat-fire e-bikes.
The tire size of Engwe EP-2 Pro and Engwe Engine Pro are both 20 x 4 inches, that’s why they are suitable for any kind of surface. Having an electric motor on a fat bike increases the fun factor tremendously – you can really explore places you wouldn’t have had in the past and with the added boost of the motor, you don’t have to worry about steep hills anymore. With a 750W powerful brushless motor, both Engwe EP-2 Pro and Engwe Engine Pro can climb max. 30 degrees slope. Please note that the climbing ability of an electric bicycle is related to the rider’s weight and battery power, so the actual maximum climbing angle may be different.
Engwe Engine Pro is slightly faster than EP-2 Pro with a longer maximum range
Higher maximum speed, longer range, and faster acceleration.
A bit higher battery capacity of Engwe Engine Pro together with a stronger motor that peaks power of 1000 W, results in a higher maximum speed of 5 KM/H, a longer maximum range of 10 KM, and a bit faster acceleration. The differences are not great, so the famous EP-2 Pro is only slightly behind its big brother Engine Pro.

Engwe EP-2 Pro vs Engwe Engine Pro: Differences in Braking System
Hydraulic Disc Braking vs. Mechanical Disc Braking
Engwe EP-2 Pro uses a mechanical disc braking system and Engwe Engine Pro uses hydraulic dis braking system. Both of the systems have the same essential parts but differ in the technology used to make them work.
In the mechanical brake, the force applied to the lever is transferred to one of the pads (not both) through a tensioned brake cable. In the hydraulic brake, the force applied to the lever is transferred to the pistons in the caliper – and from there to the two brake pads – through a fluid (mineral or synthetic oil, depending on the brand of the brake). Due to the pressure exerted by this fluid, the brake pads eventually move to compress the disc and thereby slow the movement of the wheel.
On wet or slippery terrain, a hydraulic disc braking system is better.
The reasons are:
- Hydraulic disc brake offers more linear and progressive braking(at least to most). The wheels will not lock suddenly, reducing the risk of a fall and promoting better control and handling of the bike.
- The circuit of a hydraulic disc brake is completely closed and more sealed. On mechanical disc brakes, the cable is exposed at its connection to the caliper. It is therefore more likely that water will come into contact with it, enter the circuit, and modify its operation, reducing the braking power.
The hydraulic disc braking system is more durable and easier to maintain.
If your e-bike has a hydraulic disc braking system, you just need to check and maintain the system once a year. And the mechanical disc brake requires periodic adjustments to calibrate its power and modulation, by tightening or loosening the cable. Since the pads tend to wear out more quickly, their durability is more limited than that of hydraulic brakes.
Mechanical disc braking is more affordable
A mechanical disc braking system is almost half the price of a hydraulic disc braking system. That’s one of the reasons why Engwe Ep-2 Pro is more affordable than Engwe Engine Pro.

Engwe EP-2 Pro vs Engwe Engine Pro: Differences in Shock Absorbing System
Hydraulic Shock Absorbing vs Mechanical Shock Absorbing
The shock absorbing system is an essential part of mountain e-bikes, they absorb and damp shock impulses to ensure comfortable riding. The difference is the mechanical or hydraulic device.
As its name implied, a hydraulic shock absorber works with hydraulic: fluid in the shock absorber is forced to flow through restricted outlets and valve systems, generating hydraulic resistance and absorbing kinetic energy. This is a suspension system commonly used in cars because it can provide smoother shock absorption and improve comfort.
Hard Tail vs. Full Suspension
Engwe Engine Pro has a lockable front fork suspension as Engwe EP-2 Pro, the difference is, Engwe EP-2 Pro is a hard-tailed electric bike, and Engwe Engine Pro has a rear suspension.
A hard-tail electric bike is more effective when pedaling, so it will be faster on hills and smooth trails. With no extra suspension system, the weight will be lighter. That’s why Engwe EP-2 Pro is an ideal electric bike for commuting and off-road riding.
A full-suspension electric bike can absorb vibration better and it is more comfortable to use than a hard-tail mountain bike. If you want to use a bike often on rough and uneven terrain, or if you are an experienced mountain biker, it is better to choose Engwe Engine Pro to ensure comfort, maximum grip, and reduce fatigue on the roads.
Winner: ENGINE PRO
Engwe EP-2 Pro vs Engwe Engine Pro: Differences in Gears and variable speed
7 gears vs 8 gears
Both Engwe EP-2 Pro and Engwe Engine Pro use high-quality Shimano® variable speeds, and Engwe Engine Pro has 1 extra gear. More gears allow riders to have a more refined speed-shifting experience, and to adapt to climbing, slippery ground, and various terrain.
Upgraded motor
Engwe Engine Pro uses an upgraded motor, that’s why when both of them have 750W power motors, Engwe Engine Pro can reach a faster maximum speed with peak power exceeding 1000W. It should be noted here that the maximum speed of an electric bicycle is related to the rider’s weight, battery power, and terrain, so the maximum speed it can achieve is different under different circumstances.
Winner: ENGINE PRO
Engwe EP-2 Pro vs Engwe Engine Pro: Differences in LCD Display
Compare to Engwe EP-2 Pro, Engwe Engine Pro has a more advanced LCD screen, it’s a multi-color screen, and the size is bigger. It is more detailed in speed display, displaying real-time speed, maximum speed, and average speed. It also supports the setting of various parameters, such as wheel diameter, speed limit, battery power setting, PAS parameter setting, etc.
Winner: ENGINE PRO
Engwe EP-2 Pro vs Engwe Engine Pro: Differences in Backseat
Engwe Engine Pro has a stronger back seat, if you often carry things with your electric bike, Engwe Engine Pro is a better choice for you.
Winner: ENGINE PRO
Summary of the comparison
Engwe EP-2 Pro is a more cost-effective choice if you ride it for commuting and not-so-intense off-road riding. Engwe Engine Pro is designed to adapt to more complex and diverse pavements and terrains, its hydraulic braking system and full suspension will provide a smoother and more comfortable cycling experience. Budget is also an important factor. Engwe EP-2 PRO will satisfy most users but without the budget limit, the ENGWE ENGINE PRO will do everything just u bit better and is therefore more recommended option.

BUILT LIKE A TANKGREAT EBIKE. VERY HEAVY-DUTY. INSTRUCTIONS WORTHLESS. OPERATION OF THE BIKE AND FUNCTIONS, FIGURE OUT FOR YOURSELF. YOU HAVE TO FIGURE OUT WHERE THE KEYS GO AND WHAT THEY ARE FOR. THE DISPLAY PANEL COMES WITH NO INSTRUCTIONS. GO TO YOUTUBE TO SEE ALL FUNCTIONS. GREAT SELLER AND THEY GET BACK BY EMAIL THE SAME DAY.

Read the reviews before purchaseBuild quality seems to be on point. Overall appearance is pretty cool, like the matte black paint. Also, like the wheels the mag wheels. Definitely like the hydraulic brakes and the dual suspension. Few things that I don’t like, one being the seat. Handlebars are quite narrow compared to my other E-bike. Fenders’ rattle makes the bike rides a bit noisy. My main dislike is that performance is not quite what it should be for a 750 W E-bike. The top speed is only 35 kilometers an hour and 45 if you unlock it. Doesn’t seem to be any more powerful or faster than my 500 W E-bike. Also, the manual was subpar when trying to figure out what the parameters are on the display module. Customer service for this particular bike was OK.

1.049€999€A few days in and I’ve ridden it every night. Love it so far! Easy setup. Only, a very minor complaint, I had to figure out by myself how to turn the lights on. Push and hold the up arrow.
