I have notifications on for you but haven’t seen anything come up in a very long time. I thought maybe you got hurt! Glad you’re still kickin and making vids of what you do
Haha yeah I’m still kicking. Just don’t like making videos in the winter as much. I don’t like how the footage looks and the camera and drone batteries don’t like the cold. Warm weather is coming and we have some new trucks coming so I’ll putting out more videos soon.
Appreciate the review. Quick question. My tire size in the LCD settings was at 28” but the rims are 27.5” any advantage to running the larger tire size?
If you mean running the larger tire size in the lcd settings then the answer is no. The tire size setting would just be used for Speedometer calibration. So the factory setting will give you the most accurate speedometer reading.
So having worked a winter as a swamper and then moving on to lighting in film I gotta say you really did a great job of making a lot of mud and cursing look sweet and easy. The drone makes it spectacular but the content choice is top notch. It's all the good days put together! Thanks
after working in construction I got introduced to stage work and as a rigger for concerts. The same folks who do that also provide techs to the film industry so after a few years I started getting offers there. Still love the memories of moving rigs in -30 especially the big bed trucks! It's a different world that most folks never see. Keep having fun! @@seanmcafee9613
It wasn’t demonstrated in this video, but what’s the point of balancing the skid on the rear roller of the bed truck? Seen it done a lot, I’m assuming it’s so the front won’t sink down into the soft ground?
It is done for a couple reasons. One is, if the back end of the truck sinks the load will make contact with the ground, this greatly reduces the chances of a roll over. The second reason is that it is quick and easy. It is faster to leave the load like that then to suck it flat.
@@seanmcafee9613 I wish you the best for that! You got a great eye for it. I tried to make money doing it before. I was 20 working with 20 year olds. Not the most mature people. I’d ask if they wanted to pay for the next shoot and they, seriously, would ALWAYS say “I can just take them on my phone for free though…” but, that was skateboarding and portrait photography. I’m sure selling beautiful landscape works of art would be much more fruitful, especially because skaters are poor (myself included) and ppl who hang art in their homes aren’t! Keep at it, those photos were stunning.
Haha sounds like it would pull it. I’m hoping to get some more good footage in the spring. It’s hard to find time to get good shots when I’m always driving on the rig move but I’ll get some.
Thanks for the the review Sean. Ive been back and forth on whether to get the Bravo Core mid drive and the Yukon hub version and think this is the better option. Save about $800 and from the reviews I've read about the mid drives is that they have too much power for the components. Chain snaps, gear wear etc. Im 55 and want enough power assist to get me up some hills but also want something thats reliable and less maintenance. Thanks again ✌️
Mid drives are great and way more power. The catch with them is that you have always be shifting them. If you in too high of a gear and under full power that is when the chain can break. A hub drive doesn’t care what gear you are in. So if you want simple and reliable you can’t beat the hub drive.

The battery life is impressive. I did feel like the display was not overly accurate with the percentage though. I switched my displays from reading % to just reading the voltage. I trust it more, it reads the voltage to one decimal place accuracy.
@@seanmcafee9613 for me... I don't need accuracy. Percentage is fine. I never let it get below 60%, and I never ride more than 30kms in a single session, so accuracy is not a concern. I know my battery will always have range for 100% of my riding day. But it has less power at sub 60%. So I keep it topped up.
I love my 750 Yukon V2. Just rolled over 1400 kms on it since last summer. Tires only lasted 1400 kms. I have a friend with a Yukon who is at 4500kms and still hasnt replaced his tires. Don't know the difference (except that I'm 50 lbs heavier than him).
I am just over 1000 km on mine and I feel like I'll need new tires soon. Though I will admit I've felt like that since around 500 km. The tires don't have a whole lot of tread of to begin with. Did you put on the same tires or change it up? And where did you get them?
@@seanmcafee9613 I wanted to get them quick so I just bought a pair at my local bike shop as VB was backordered 2 weeks on them. Kenda 26x4 tires. Might not be the exact same model of tire... But same make.
@@seanmcafee9613 Better. Hmm... Well, I don't know how I would quantify that. They were about the same price in CDN dollars. The Voltbike stock tires (which were backordered) were the Kenda Juggernauts, but the tires I got are Chao Yang 26x4 tires (Sorry... I thought they were Kendas as well) Much lower air-pressure tolerance... but they SEEM to be ok...?
I second that on them being weak! I had a brand new scissorneck, loaded a full pipe tub, and as I was straightening it on the trailer, I noticed the trailer shifting side to side in the direction I was pulling the tub! Traded it in for a Gerry’s
They were down around Regina. We don't do SK to much. We're doing the Direct moves down around Hope and Abbotsford since Northwell sold the equipment. We do lots from GP to FSJ. I would say 90% of our rig moves are in that area. We're doing one on the Polecat north of Hinton, then overlaping into another by GP starting on the 3rd.
