Nice! Have fun and be careful (someone might think you're going all hippie) π€£
First: IGNORE the E-bike (or E-chainsaw, or E-anything) haters, they're irrelevant. Second: Good for you! If companies are contacting you to try out their equipment and you're up-front with we viewers, then again -- IGNORE the haters. Third: IGNORE the haters. (Or, politely ask them to seek entertainment elsewhere in which to unload their bile.) As for your pun: "Short of having an electrical problem..." Well, keep an "open" mind and your "resistance" will drop. You may achieve Zen, in which case you can ride along chanting "Ohm, Ohm's Law, Ohm..." Cheers from your E-everything endorser to the North, in Linn County.
Another GREAT video. Yeah, it fits into the channel very well. Thanks so much for taking the time to create your very interesting and entertaining videos.
The mountain lions will have way more fun trying to catch you on that bike.
Wilson was born to ride.
It might look cool with a chainsaw scabbard mounted on it.
Iβll tell you what, I spend a lot of time on MTB- seeing a lot of guys on EBikes these days missing kit. Helmet, eye protection, & a repair kit are must haves. Chain tool, repair link, tire irons (plastic), patch kit and maybe an inner tube, pump and/or CO2 inflators, a bike tool. My bike weighs 1/4 what this does & wouldnβt want to push it back.
I'm sure I watched this one. But phone says on watch later list. O well I will watch again.
Try a Surface 604 Colt with 48V 500 watt motor. South of the medicine line that would be around two grand USD. I rode 1242 miles (2000 km) this season some on logging roads, rural paved roads and the Okanagan rail trail. It is about 55 pounds with 2.1β tire width. I always pedal but never have to press hard, just idling along. I go down by gravity and back by electricity. When you use your legs, it is like a second heart. Last week my friend brought the Wood miser mill over. We sawed about 1800 fbm including 82 12β 2x6 (984 fbm) mostly Douglas fir and some 2x4 from spruce. a few little cedar. I like to see the mill come here and I like to see it leave. As we say if it flies or floats, itβs cheaper to rent. I use the edge slabs etc. I had 20 pieces 8 foot and 12 foot. Some fir was totally clear and had really nice colours for door, window, and molding stock. I saw a minimum 9β top and I had two 8 foot pieces with 17β top. Those two squared to about 12 inch plus the side lumber. Tops and smaller pieces will keep the house warm in a few years. Easy living wood chip.
Be careful Mr. Wilson. Old guys like us donβt bounce very well. We tend to break. π’. πππ
Thanks for the review. Been looking at ebikes for our no-mountains Texas ranch.
I know a guy who carries a chain saw on the rack of his fat tire bicycle for keeping trails clear. And youβre right. A few thousand dollar e bike would be the ticket up there. And the klunk is probably the suspension fork bottoming out at the end of its travel.
Looks like a lot of fun on the flat parts of your ranch. Maybe the company will come out with an E-bike that is made for the steep hills. Hopefully they will use the information you provided on making a better product. Don't get "shocked" if they don't.
I don't need one for the same reasons you do, but I do need it to go the same places you do. So many of our gated roads in the PNW don't allow motorcycles but do allow pedal bikes, including ebikes.
ππππ And here I just mentioned that the other night and you had to do a video on one ππππ
Great, honest review!
I think you gave that e-bike an honest and fair review. To me the seat/pedal position isn't good for you and it doesn't appear you can change it. The price point is its strong point I guess, on the other hand, you get what you pay for.
If they'd invent one that converts to a chainsaw and also skids logs, you'd be in business.
Cool if youβre interested in E bikes, but the boots are first class!
