No problem. Good luck!

Thanks for watching. I ended up getting one online as I couldn't find one locally that I could see would meet my needs. If you can test one locally I really do still think that's the best way to go. I'm very happy with the one I have but it wasn't without its own pain dealing with adjustments needed by a local shop to make it shift correctly. I'm on a first name basis with a local shop. They don't sell eBikes but seem to be happy to work on the non-motor/electronics bits. Good luck!!!

Good eye! That's exactly where this filmed. Thanks for watching!

@@gameofdronesvideo2254 haha I knew it I love it there, so much fun.

@@gameofdronesvideo2254 I didn’t see the intro of the description… im blind lol

Thanks for watching. Yes the Rad did just barely make it up the hill. I ended up getting a mid-drive bike with a Bafang Ultra motor and it's great but nearly double the price. The hub motors just weren't able to handle the sizable hills and my weight.

You bet. A/C is acting up again but otherwise I love her. I thought I might regret getting the automagic but sport mode and auto-rev matching makes it a lot of fun. Thanks for watching!!!

@@gameofdronesvideo2254 😐 whats wrong with the A/C? Not cooling or not functioning? +ADD more videos, because you are great in making these videos 🤩

Expense and lack of throttle are why I'm not getting a mid drive.

@@Andrew-it7fb you can get a mid drive with a throttle as most come with it. And four cost I have a trek marlin seven that I put a mid drive kit on, even purchased new I think would be very close to the budget on one of these bikes. I also have an ecotric rocket which is the same as the leopard but with fat tires. While it is a lot of fun to ride, it’s not in the same category as the one I built. Take a look at the review on my trek bike and it does give the good and bad about mid drive.

@@southernebiking I've seen very few mid drives with a throttle and even the ones that don't have one tend to be more expensive. I don't have a bike worth putting a motor on and don't want to deal with the hassle of doing it myself. Also, a lot of bike shops wouldn't work on it. I have zero interest in an add on kit and buying a mid drive bike tends to be more expensive. It's not complicated.

@@Andrew-it7fb I ended up getting a mid-drive Biktrix (Ultra Duo 3) due to the hill climb needs I have. It has Bafang M620 Ultra mid-drive with throttle. So far it's working great (760mi). It was expensive though. Double the cost of the hub drive motor bikes. I still love my Ecotric 500W hub motor bike and use it in a different location where the hill climbing isn't as intense.

@@gameofdronesvideo2254 Yeah, if cost was no issue, I'd get a mid drive with throttle.

You could be right. I don't have anything to compare it to. It improved by video creation speed quite a bit so I'm happy.

@@gameofdronesvideo2254 Hey at least that is good to hear.

Thanks!!!!

I'm not about to share my exact weight. Let's just say it's half-way between 200 and 250 ;-)

Yes, weight is significant factor I've noticed re biking distance of my Aventon Level.

Glad you're digging the Rad bike. I did a bunch of research (months) before ordering, my Ride1Up, receiving it damaged, getting replacement parts and assembling. My wife walked into the RadPower store, rode two bikes and walked out with an assembled Rad City 5 Plus that exceeds mine in power. I don't dislike the Ride1Up but I'd probably choose differently if I did it over again.

@@gameofdronesvideo2254 Thanks! I will say that problems with shipping may be universal to some extent. I'd recommend if you ever decide to get a Rad bike for yourself that you get it fully assembled like your wife did. I don't live close enough to a rad store so I had to have mine delivered disassembled. Rad did a good job packaging it but it did have a couple of minor chips in the body, probably from the long shipping process. It was also difficult for me to assemble the bike and the breaks weren't fully aligned which required a lot of tweaking and a steep learning curve to get right. Granted I'm not a bike mechanic but regardless It's just better to be able to see your bike when buying I think. 👍

Good to know. Thanks for watching!!!! Costco website is showing a similar model for $949 so maybe it's a little less in store. I'm still happy with my purchase it's working fine.

I think the one they have on sale has an NVidia GTX graphic card

A lot of the reviewers get the bikes from the manufacturers and I suspect might be biased but who knows. These were all bought with hard earned money. I did this review because I kind of thought the same thing about motors. Manufacturers providing confusing power specs (nominal, peak or sustained) and some stating torque while others don’t is of limited decision making help. Then of course the latest bike I bought came with a different motor mfr than advertised. All the bikes are fine I just prefer to make more informed decisions on such a big purchase.

😀 That’s my wife’s bike and yes the seat is almost as low as it can go.

I don't believe that is the case, for this hill climb test the bike was moving slowly up the hill for the majority of the test. The air drag wouldn't have had too much of an effect. Mainly motor power and hub motor gear ratio would have made the difference in the hill climbing performance.

This is a joke right? Please tell me this is a joke

Thanks! Be back soon to cruise STL, well, 1.5 months.

If you mean what bike made it to the top it was the RadCity 5Plus. The others fell short. They all stopped pretty close, within ~12 feet.

Thanks! I did do an Ozarks video ruclips.net/video/re8oK0ZA124/видео.html awhile back but yours is much better. Love the music!!!

What a great story. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for watching! Gotta love the hood on RAM Air Trans AM and I'm a sucker for pop-up headlights!

Thanks for watching! There are three golden retrievers, one whipper-snapper, one mid-life crisis and one seasoned pup.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks!

I thoroughly enjoyed the Flags of Valor. Those flyovers just above the water made me nervous just watching :-). Good steady panning left->right and camera movement in flight. I'm having a hard time with that. Maybe too much caffeine. Thanks for sharing!!!!

Thanks for watching. Still learning but a lot of fun!

Thanks for watching!

Absolutely. I don't have more than what I put in the video on RUclips. If email me at gameofdronesvideo@gmail.com I can send you a link to download.

Correct. The Nat'l parks dept is VERY sensitive about drones flying around the Arch. That plus as you say it's not really a sign. It IS absolutely THE symbol of STL. Thanks for watching!!!!

The storm hit early in the morning.

We lost power I think around 12;30AM and it didn't come back until 11AM or so.

We live over by the high school and several big branches came down but not big trees, that I know of, were uprooted. We were without power for about 9 hours but I know others were impacted much longer.

Most of the uprooted trees were along Adams and Argonne east/west of Kirkwood Blvd. The wind in that area must have been stronger as it did seem concentrated in/around that area.

@@gameofdronesvideo2254 My church is in that area and we had large trees come down in our preschool’s playground. There was a nursing home across from the church that lost huge trees, thank goodness the residences were okay.

@@michellejacobcik4244 I think I have pictures of that. If you look at 1:07 - 1:24 in the video there's the tree in the tot lot of the pre-school and after that is the tree down at the Mary Culver Home across the street.

@@gameofdronesvideo2254 I thought I saw my church! I am glad you and your family are okay.

Thanks! Not sure we'll be doing much more wading through water but, if so, before we do I'll get that addressed. Good to know, much appreciated!!!!
