I really enjoyed seeing your perspective on how rad these Yamaha Moro 07's are! Everyone else is just talking tech and MTB riding. They are very useful in more than one way and so many don't see this. So awesome you are putting this out like this! I just became a dealer and it's the best all around bike I've ever sold. Yamaha is a sold long going like you said and I've always loved them since my first 1979 YZ 250! Enjoy your adventures riding!
Yeah, i find it really strange that not more people use this bikes for more than just downhill. They are such great mountain tourers. you have no limits with these kind of bikes. And i absolutely love it. I will make a lot more adventure type videos with e-MTB in the upcoming years. I think this will be the future for many countries now with all the regulations that is coming to Motorcycles. Cheers sir, appreciate the comment.
Hi, as far as I know you have a boy and I thought to myself: What a great way to enjoy van camping and e-biking with him, instead of waiting for him to be old enough to ride his own motorbike with Dad. I always enjoy your videos.
This is correct, i got a son, he is 9 years old now! He is really into bicycle, so this is the perfect way to spend more time with him as well 🔥🔥🙏🏻 Thank, appreciate that
Awesome … smiled all the way through the video. I’m glad you’re enjoying yourself and experimenting with different options and challenges. That’s the way to do it! And of course, thanks for sharing! Be well.
Thanks so much mate 👏🏻 Yeah, this is great in so many ways. It keeps me fit, i can travel much more with my son. He is heavily into bikes at the moment. And i can explore areas that i have not been before with my bike 🤌🏻🎥
Hi, glad to see you picked up mountain biking. I have been mountain biking for 15years and I love it as well. I just wanted to let you know that it is better to avoid cleaning your bike with a high-pressure cleaner because you will push all the dirt into the bearings. All though most bearings on modern bikes are sealed they are not as beefy as on motorcycles that's why it's better to clean with a garden hose and once in a while it's a good idea to clean the bike with hot water and soap. Also be attentive when you are spraying suspension oil, lubricants or silicone sprays in the vicinity of the disc brakes try to avoid it so they don't get contaminated. Anyway I can't wait to see what you will do with the bike. Cheers!
Thank you so much for this valuable tips. I just do what I normally do with my motorcycle, and i can imagine that is not necessarily the best thing for a bike. I will make a note of this and be more careful going forward. I really hope to bring you all along on some of the many fantastic mountain trails of Norway 🇳🇴 Again, thank you for making me aware of this. Cheers
I did not see this coming but it makes perfect sense :) I did it the other way around - started mountain biking many years ago, and got into adventure motorcycles later. I've had my eMTB for a few years now and it really is such an amazing tool. As always - thanks for sharing your videos
Hahaha, Yeah, i guess many did the same as you, not see this coming! But i have been looking at a second motorcycle for a while now! But it just does not make any sense here in Norway! A bike on the other hand ticks all the boxes and will keep the technical stuff fresh before a new season on my tenere 👏🏻🔥
Welcome to the wonderful world of offroad cycling. I have been an MTB rider since 1989 and have not yet tried an electric bike, but I am a HUGE fan because.... well you are a perfect example of why. People who would not buy a conventional bike will buy and use an E-Bike and that has GOT to be a good thing. Enjoy your new bike and the new world it opens up.
Well said! And thank you so much 🤩 I think this is the bridge between our two worlds in a perfect way. If you really get into it, i guess a regular MTB will be the way to go down the line, but now I’m having such a great time paddling around on this e-bike. And the speed and fun down in the technical terrain… whoho 😂 Absolutely love it. Cheers bud
Brilliant buy, you’ll definitely have great fun with your new Yamaha! Getting away from the clutter of life with your new bike and van will bring amazing enjoyment. Great idea , making the most of life , that’s what it’s for!!!! Enjoy.
Exactly Ewen 🙌🏻 Getting away from the clutter of life with my new adventure tools is what makes me happy and enjoy my life even more. It does not have to be expensive or the greatest. It just has to take me places I want to go. Cheers 👏🏻
Thank you 🙌🏻 I tried to do some research before I got mine, all my friends going down the Spezialised route (or how you write it) And for me it only looked like most brands was twice as expensive with pretty much the same quality and components. So far I'm like a little child again, having so much fun on this thing. Just need the snow to go away now, so we can start the season again 🔥
Good set up that looks like a lot of fun great vid . You got me thinking about taking my mountain bike out now . I see the snow is getting closer to the mainland
Thank you Mark 🔥 Yeah, this is the perfect setup for my off-season travels and get me thinking that winter is not so bad after all 😂 Go fetch it and go for a spin. It is so damn fun! Cheers
Thank you Matt… there is some really nice mountain roads i want to explore and see more of. Some incredible glaciers and waterfalls. So let’s see what the next year will bring 🔥 I have a lot of future plans, and maybe some visitors who we all know and appreciate 🔥
Yes very familiar feelings on two wheels for me as well and similar lifestyle choices. Enjoyed seeing footage of your country as i'm in Ontario Canada. I have just recently discovered these new Yamaha models and now must consider a purchase. The Moro 07 will be plenty for me and with their known quality should be excellent. Enjoy the adventures and thanks for the video.
Ooohh, Canada is high on my bucket list of places to travel and see 👏🏻 Reminds a lot of Norway I think. Just so much more and bigger. I have had mine for a year now and I'm absolutely amazed how well they handle and the build quality. Since I'm a beginner I hove worn down the brake pads once, but that is because I'm constantly braking downhill 🤣 If you find a store, make sure to try a demo. I have friends with bikes twice the price and more. Guess what, I manage to go the same places as they and have just as much fun in the mountains. Or maybe more, because I know how much money they spent 🤩 Cheers
haha watching your intro I was so expecting an even more fancy motorbike, and love it when you turned the camera and there was something very unexpected. Another great video to watch Thomas! I guess we'll get even more special footage now as you can reach new places :)
Hahaha, i had to do a little twist on the beginning 😂 And i can’t wait to do more back roads of Norway. As you know, most hidden gems are sticktly forbidden to ride on a motorcycle. I have some plans about the 1000 meter road, rallarvegen, Kongevegen etc when the snow goes away next year. So let’s see what i can make of this going forward. Always nice to try something new and get other creative inputs for this whole video stuff. Cheers
You should my friend. I can’t begin to describe how crazy fun this is and how many smiles it has put on my face. And the best part. You get a fair amount of exercise in it as well. And it is so related to Motorcycle riding. I bet my riding skills will benefit from this a lot.
Fyfasen så härligt Tjommi, helt rätt. Jag är så sugen på detta med, men det får vänta även om det skulle passa in bra med just van och ett äventyrligt uteliv. Skall bli kul att följa din fart fram Tjommi i Norges underbara natur, du är grym på att fånga den. 💪🤠🔥
Hahaha, det var en liten sniktitt på min nye Helle Nord kniv ja… Er fare for at det blir mer av den framover 😂🔥 Fædt Nice å kutte kjøtt og grønnsaker med (heavy duty) Dette tror jeg du hadde kost ræven av deg med. Utrolig kjekt å kjøre teknisk i skogen med noe slikt. Eneste som er litt uvant er at den har så lav bakke klaring. Så jeg feilberegner litt når jeg kjører over tuer, røtter og kanter 🙈 Mer av dette framover 🥃
Excellent….E mt bikes are awesome… great way to express the similarities and the advantages of the E bike access to areas. The minivan E bike combo is fantastic. Can’t wait to see how the build progresses. Bravo, and again excellent production😎😎😎
Thank you Frank. They truly are, i have had so much fun lately. Just going out, trying to get familiar with everything and learn the quirks before i make more content around this. And of course, get as many tip from you guys as possible so i don’t have to learn everything from scratch 👏🏻 Cheers
I was waiting for this one Thomas😇 great intro and awesome autumn shots😍 In one sentence: this video wants me to buy a Yamaha e-mtb🙃 looking forward to the films you are going to create around this. Ps, don’t forget to cover the inside walls in your Ford, otherwise they will dent sooner or later from the mtb’s handlebars. Have a great day👌
Thank you mate. Great to hear I tickled a little interest. I can promise you one thing, this is crazy fun 😂👏🏻 That is a really good point, and something I’m looking into as we speak. I need something on the walls not only to prevent the handlebar to dent it, but also to take away the damn noise when it raining 😂 I may send you a message or two on WhatsApp if you have any great ideas of what i should be using that does not means i need to build to much around it. Cheers
Cool thing! I come from a MTB background riding further and further away from home. Next step for me was of course a motorcycle to explore more, further out.
Great to hear that mate. For me it is a little bit the other way around. I have explored so much with my bike now, there is not so much more left in have not seen before. So now i can explore new places with my bike, and go even further or ship my bike down south and explore there 👏🏻
great review. I got a Moro 05 and enjoying it. I loved the scenaries of Norway in your video. Looks similar to Washington (Seattle area) here in the US. Its a shame that Yamaha lest the US ebike market. Will look for more Yamaha ebike contents from you.
Glad you enjoyed it mate. I have a long e-mtb trip that I'm still not started to edit. So there will be more of this content as well. I think it is a shame with bot e-bike and motorcycles. So many models you don't get? for whatever reason I'm not sure of?
I've been doing exactly like you for few years for the exact same reasons, and I find that my emtb is as fun as riding my motorbike. I can't live without it now. 😊 I have a Giant Trance XE+2 which also has a Yamaha engine.
I’m blown away how much i enjoyed this and how fun i have had it on the trails with a emtb. I really can’t wait for the season to start again, there will be much more content of both motorcycle and emtb in the upcoming years. I do think this is the direction most countries will end up.
@@tshansen I'm sure you'll love it more and more. The good thing is that you are really doing exercise compared to motorcycling, it costs almost nothing compared to a full tank of gas, and as you said, we can do it in any season. Right now I'm riding it in the snow. Discovering places in quiet nature is not comparable with motorcycling, more like hiking. Enjoy mate ! 👍
Ahh... you join the club at last! (I have a nice German Canyon Pathlite:on), a few tips, putting luggage on the bike (racks panniers) is much more comfortable than a rucksack, modern cycling clothing is awesome, keep hydrated! :)
Haha, thank you Robert. The only stuff I keep in the rucksack is my camera gear. I'm not sure I want that to stay on the bike. Less effort to use from my back. I will see how much of my hiking and motorcycle gear I can reuse without falling into the trap of buying a lot of new gear that probably does the same thing. But great tip and thank you. More like this please. It is all new to me so I need all the tips and tricks I can get. Cheers
Everytime I watch your channel and Robert's the sound of money going away is in my head. I want one too ! God .... But anyway, congratulations Thomas !
Hahahaha.... I guess it is like that for all of us! I have the same problem looking at your channel. Best thing is just to not watch any content 😂 Thank you. This will be a great add-on to my bike park 😂
You're going to have a lot of fun with this, Thomas! besides my T7 I also have an emtb and it's great. slowly discovering off-road paths and enjoying nature is at least as beautiful as with a motorcycle. Yamaha mid-motors are known as very reliable, as we have come to expect from the brand. will you also make MTB videos in the future? Thank you! Cheers mate! 👍😃
The last couple of weeks has been absolutely amazing, with so much fun. It is crazy how this thing brings a smile on my face. Going down on narrow paths, doing technical terrain like I would never dear on a motorcycle makes me wonder if this is something I can make videos about without doing the typical MTB videos you see this days. I will most certainly explore this part of my adventures with video as well. But how much, I don't know yet. It all depends on what you guys want to see more or less of. Cheers.
You'll have great fun. I started cycling to get fitter for off road motorcycles but found I could go all the places I couldn't on a motorcycle. That motor is really good too. Get some bags and get out camping on it :)
Yeah, this is a reason why I did it as well. I really like that I can play and enjoy my way into shape. It also gives me much more and needed time with my son who is growing up and enjoying bikes. So it is a win win in many regards. And it will still be really related to motorcycle. Haha, that is a challenge I will accept mate. Let me see if I can take it for a solo camping trip. Without a car 🤌🏻
Wow!, not what I expected but very cool. I did not know Yamaha made E-Bikes....I'm gonna check one out and see if it's a good fit for me. Thanks for always making great content!
Hope you enjoy it, yeah i was quite surprised as well when i came into the dealer and saw they made the new stand with all the bike models. And the best part. There was not a million options to choose from 🙈 Be careful, you may get hooked like i did. It is insanely fun
I have enjoyed winter riding on my e bike, piggdekk then off on the local ski track. The cold does hit the battery but i only had a biltema basic Ebike but immense fun in the mountains near Soknedal.
That's the plan for me as well, and have more time with my kid as he is heavy into bikes at this stage. I think it is a win win for me in many regards. Cheers 🔥
Hi Thomas, another very interesting and beautifully edited video. 👍 I will be very interested in a review and your thoughts on the Moro 07. Something I may well look into myself, in the future. Hope you’ve had a restful and enjoyable Christmas with your family, and wish you and your family a very happy and healthy new year. Look forward to your new adventures. 👍 🤛😎🤜
Hello mate, so nice to hear from you again. Hope you and your brother have had a great holiday. So far i have ridden it 150km and i absolutely love it. For us, here in Norway, this is the future when it comes to true off-road and reach those remote areas with permission. I had never thought i would enjoy it this much. It is right up there with riding a motorcycle 🤩 Happy New Year, we are spending our time of work at our cabin, just relaxing. More adventures in the near future. Stay safe ☕️
I live in the French alps and it’s becoming harder to find legal trails for my Husky 701. But with an e mountain bike there is so much to explore. I just got back from a month road trip in Norway and didn’t see many mountain bikers, just touring cyclists on the roads. Are there areas where it’s more popular?
The mountain bike trend is really peaking in Norway at the moment. Yes, in some of the southern parts of Norway, and some of the ski resorts there is a lot of them. But keep in mind that some of the mountains in Norway is closed for mountain biking because of snow until now. Like Geilo mountain was open a week or two ago. Nesbyen, Trysil and some other places are really popular. But we have insane amount of tracks all over the country. But most are away from the big citys.
Crikey Thomas, I heard people in Norway are complaining about the amount of camervans/motorhomes on the roads 😂. I look forward to seeing how more amazing your video productions of Norway will be and forgive my ignorance but can you freely enter private land on a battery bike but not on a motorcycle in your country 🤔 don't ride too far from your cameras it may be a long way back if the battery is flat. All joking aside I cannot wait to see where your new Yamaha will take you and I to hope to bring my campervan to Norway soon 🤘🏻
Hahaha we complain about that all the time. But there is nothing wrong with the campers… it is more the people who ride it 10-20 km/h under the speed limit looking on everything and don’t let people pass them on narrow roads. That can be a mental game you would not believe 😂 Well, you can ride on the outer land of a property, but not inside a fence near houses etc. You have the right to roam here in Norway, so we got a lot of freedom to use our nature. You can’t be a land owner and lock it away behind fences etc. Hahaha…. That is a great point. I think i will use my drone and action cam more 😂 I feel a little bit stressed out when I’m far from “home” and the last battery level is blinking. Cheers mate
Nice, how big battery is it on that one? I think this will still be a "motorcycle" pr definition in Norway and not allowed to take anywhere (legal) But it looks sick 🙌🏻
@@tshansen the MX4 has 2700 Wh or 45 Ah @ 60 V. Some Americans do remove all parts so it looks like a motorless bike. It is so quiet, I do ride many tracks that was not possible with the KTM. When passing slowly there is no bad response so far.
@@tshansen … with battery 70 kg. Runs when limited for street use about 48 km/h. One charge runs about 90 km‘s for me. Much fun for the village and the farmers around to get fresh eggs. For further rides I get a HONDA CB125R in a couple of weeks. My KTM 790 AdvR RALLY (2020) goes to Portugal 🇵🇹 to her new rider.
Awesome! Having 2 types of bike for different purposes is my definition of living the dream. I'm sorry to hear Norway does not allow Offroad riding, but I respect each culture's decision to draw the line wherever they do. Maybe your new bike would be easier to take in an airplane and explore other parts of the world...?
Yeah, everything falls into a bigger plan. You see, this makes it easier for me to ship my motorcycle down south in the winter, fly down and use it in Spain, have my emtb at home with my camper van and still be able to adventure around and do what i love most. And as you say, It is much easier to ship or fly your bike than your motorcycle as well. There will be some new adventures in the horizon. Just wait and see 😇🔥
When you say riding off road in Norway is illegal what exactly do you mean? Do you mean trailblazing where no path is created is illegal or are there no sanctioned dirt bike single track trails anywhere in Norway?
Well, the word Off-road in Norway is misleading! Everything that is not on what you would call a road or gravel road is normally forbidden. Single trails, most fire roads, paths etc are forbidden. I know many people including myself has bending the rules sometimes. But Norway is really not the country to ride off-road. There is some dirt tracks in norway, but really few. Most is forbidden because the places they are located get a lot of noise pollution according to the local people who don’t want us near, just listen to bird songs.
Just got one for myself and after 1 ride I love it! I see you have fenders, which I would love but was told they don’t make any yet. Are you able to tell me what you have on yours? Ty! 😊
for me in the UK the Moro 07 has caught my eye, and I'm a die hard no ebike man! an attempted theft of my tenere this year has really changed my feeling on travelling in the UK by bike. an ebike can be put out of sight or even in the room of a hostel etc so I keep finding myself thinking....
Hahaha Die Hard no e-bike man is something to tattoo on the arm 😂 I swore when i was younger to never bicycle again. What fore? You have engines. But now, I’m a wiser man and this is stupidly fun. And your point is really important to think about. These days, with everything going on, all the bikes getting nicked. Stop thinking and go for it mate. You wont regret it.
@@tshansen I need to have a clear out first! bikes are too easy to buy and too hard to sell! have a 125 beta rr and a gas gas txt125 pro to work out what to do with!
@@tshansenhi Thomas, are you sure the seat post is at max height? It looks like a dropper post to me and I can only see the telescopic part and collar out of the seat tube of the frame. Hard to tell from the footage but you should be able to loosen the seat clamp and lift the dropper post body higher (hose length permitting). Looking at the specifications you should have 150mm travel dropper but this should then be height adjustable up to a minimum insertion depth in the frame. This would be marked on the part of the seat post inserted in the frame. The 150mm dropper travel isn’t for seat height setting, it’s there to allow you to get it out of the way when descending steep terrain and you need to move your butt further back to prevent over handlebar moments. Your comfort height should be achievable 🤞
Mountain bikes and Enduro/ Offroad ADV go hand in hand! Happy to see you use the mtb to develop skills on the big bike. I wish mountain bikers would see it properly that way, because they really are the same sport.. As someones whos ridden MTB for 20 od years and Dualsport for maybe only 10. All I can say is this. One isn't better than the other for any particular reason, however proper "Enduro" or dirbiking is better for you physically than a conventional Mtb ride, with E-bikes giving you much less of the work out unfortunately. The learning gap is my preference with moto, which is why I've probably been so fixed on it for the last 10 years. There are so many small techniques and skills to develop on the Enduro side of things the list is endless. Once you become proficient on the mtb, the only skill to work towards is virtually just going faster, aka higher consequence. Don't get me wrong it is extremely rewarding to work towards a difficulty or certain trail on the mtb, but in my case it's the same cardio, on the same climbing trail, for the same 25 min of riding downhill.. Whereas with enduro, as soon as that front wheel touches the single track you're learning, riding hard, working out, etc. You can ride slower to work on skills, you can ride faster, work on clutch control, weight distribution, the list goes on and then it differs from each kind of bike! Not only that but mountainbiking as a whole has gotten too soft and manicured, nevermind the consumerism aspect that had been a plague in mtb.. Let's not even compare the price of that Yamaha E-mtb to motorcycle, enough said.. At the end of the day, the skills you work towards on the E-mtb will go hand in hand with the skills for the ADV riding, and vise versa. As long as you have rubber on the ground, and two wheels keeping ya moving, you're living your life and that's what matters. And of course out geographical locations do dictate the perceptions of what's essentially "riding bikes in nature". I'm sorry that you don't have the luxury of offroad riding in Norway, something I definitely take for granted being from BC Canada. You found a viable option to get out and explore the backroads and for that I applaud you. If the roles where switches I would like to think I would be doing the same. If I may; I would also just to critique two things about that part with maintenance. Please fact check a few more places about greasing or putting anything on the forks. It's just not a thing. Maybe woulden't be as much of an issue for the winter (although I still don't recommend), but come summer with some dust it will ruin the fork seals immediately. Service them the same as you would a motorcycle fork. And I would advice to cut off that plastic ring on the rear wheel. It won't do anything on the best of days, but the social norm associates those with cheap bikes as with the reflectors. Just my 2 cents though of course! I wish you well with the MTB and van setup. I hope you make some great youtube vids doing those and record some riding on the gopro for us! Chears.
Damn, this is the comments you hope to get on your videos. Thank you so much for taking the time and i really appreciate the feedback and knowledge around this. Yes, you have a really strong and important point when it comes to learning the skills on a MTB vs a Enduro bike. Enduro is just on another planet, and something i wish there was more options to ride here in Norway. But sadly there is just no point. And the few tracks you can ride is just so far away or the same over and over again that it kinda takes the fun out of it. For me at least. I have seen a lot of people greasing their seals, but i have no clue if it is the right or wrong way to do it. I did dry away every access grease and it looks ok so far, but i will not do it again before i get confirmation that this is how Rockshox would do it. Thank you for the advice. When it comes to the fenders. Here in norway we have MUD fest almost everywhere we go. And having my camera gear on the back there is just no way to ride without one. I don’t care much if people mistake me for a fool or rookie. I can live with that, keep in mind, i wear crocs all year around 😂👏🏻 There is no point hiding that this is extremely fun and something i will be doing much more of at least the next couple of years. How much video i will make of it is not sure about yet, but some trips in remote nature of Norway is a given. Let’s see what we can make of it, and again. Thank you so much for taking the time to comment on this. I truly appreciate it. Cheers 🥃
@@tshansen Happy to help, if there's any other mtb related questions you have don't hesitate to send them my way! And I apologize, I misspoke on the plastic thing. I meant for that clear ring behind the cassette / or "gears". I totally respect the mud guard for the back tire, as it's never that fun getting a wet bum haha. Plus it's never fun having to clean mud excessively never mind off a camera bag. The plasic ring is a regulatory requirement and the idea behind it is if the chain slips off that it wont fall into the spokes and get all tangled up. In my experience it's hard for the chain to slip "up", and the more likely is the chain slips down on the top gears and gets jamed near the axle/frame. If you keep the derailer adjusted well it shouldn't happen untill the drive train has had a good life. And yea I may do some research as well for the stantions greasing as I haven't heard of or seen people grease them before. I would wager it's safer for longevity of the seals to just keep them clean from drying mud when you get back from a ride. That being said no matter what you do, servicing your suspension every couple years with a suspension tech is always a good idea. I have lyrik on the Nomad and they've treated me exceptionally well since 2017~. Another word of caution is to do a thorough bolt check after a few more rides, bikes settle in after the first few rides. So derailer adjustment might change (cable will gain slack), bolts may wiggle loose (less than fun if you lose one), brakes should be fine, tire preasures are always good to check before a ride. Cheers Thomas🍻
@DamonStangherlin Aaahh… that see trough thing behind the cassette. Haha, I wonder what the hell that thing was 😂 Take it away tomorrow. Now that you mention it. I registered a sound from the bike today i did not hear before. Almost like the same sound and feel you get if the steering bearing on the motorcycle is loose. But it’s not from the handlebars. And it’s not from the shocks (like i see many people struggle with) maybe it is one of the bolts on the rear link or something. I need to check my bolts tomorrow as well. Damn, this is really valuable information for me. Thank you so much for taking the time to point me in the right direction 👏🏻 Legend!
Indeed it is… and with my skill level, i have way more fun in technical terrain with a emtb than a motorcycle. I’m not good enough to really ride my motorcycle this hard. The bike is just so much easier to trow around and jump with.
God kveld Ove 🤩 Jeg har kikket litt på alternativer fra EcoFlow, Anker, Jackery osv. Men det er ganske kostbare «power banks» med veldig enkelt å ta med seg. Alternativet er at jeg bygger en egen batteri kasse, med en Converter og et litium batteri. Som jeg også enkelt kan plugge inn å lade sykkelen. Jeg får se hva som passer mitt bruk best og ikke koster en halv nyre. Men ja du har helt rett… den må lades underveis.
@@tshansen normalt sett er dem på 36 eller 42 volt. Og hvis batteriet ditt er på rundt 500 watt så vil det si at kapasiteten på batteriet er rundt 10-15 ampere. Da tappes bilbatteriet fort. Men at du bør bruke et eksternt batteri til dette er nok sikkert. Det tryggeste er nok en slik batteribank som du snakket om. Men det koster jo skjorta. Solcelle kan jo være en løsning, men du skal ha et voksent solcellesystem for å få strøm nok til å lade et slikt batteri. Man kan jo lade det mens man kjører bil selvsagt eller mens motoren går, men det er jo ikke sikkert er like heldig alltid.
@Ove_Bjerknes Ja, dette er ikke mitt sterkeste fagfelt. Men planen var å bygge et eget strøm oppsett bare til sykkelen. Ikke noe som var koblet mot driftsbatteriet på bilen. Rigge for mye greier blir vanskelig da det ikke er mer plass enn det må være. Men jeg får prøve å sende noen e-poster å se om det er mulig å få noe influencer avtaler med noen av de som lager disse store power bankene. Det er helt klart den mest sexy og enkle løsningen, men som du sier. Sinnsykt dyrt.
I guess the problem is that you need a van to get to where the path is starting. 😁 Jokes aside, I used to cycle 13km to/from work every day (not electric), but I simply got sick of all the maintenance needed. Chain/sprocket replacement every 200-300km and spokes breaking on a monthly basis. Had to have 2 bikes ready at any time, as one of them would always be in need of repair. I had hydraulic and mechanical disk breaks on my bikes, and as a motorcyclist I found them to be inadequate. (Asking the cycle shops to fix this, I was informed that I should cycle not use the breaks.) And yes, I am a "big guy". Around 120kg. Tried to upgrade to better quality components as they broke/wore out, but usually the more expensive components were just a couple of grams lighter, not any stronger. From what I can see the electric bikes do not have any reinforcements that will allow a higher load than the manual bikes. But good luck! You are of course much lighter than me, and if you do not use the bike every day you probably will have a lot of fun with it. (I may actually dig out my old bikes and use it for more leisurely tasks than going to work.) 🦼
This is really good and valuable information for me Halvard. I have no clue about this, and yes, I wound be using my bike every day, and if it brakes down, i don’t need it the next day. But having extra components laying around, is not a bad idea. Extra rubber, and inner tubes is a no brainer. But extra chain, cassettes and brake pads. Maybe discs as well if they are not to expensive. Will keep an eye out for this. Thank you.
Sweet! I've been thinking about doing the same thing. Looking forward to seeing what you get up to. Note: your seat looks a little low- you want a slight bend in your knee at the bottom of your stroke- too much will lead to knee pain. All the best!
Thank you mate. Well, I’m to tall for most bikes like this, so there is no more range for the seat to be higher 😂 So i got to adapt like i have to with most other bikes. I have no plan of paddle around for many miles or days in and out. Just explore the mountains and have a great time going down again. But thank you for the tip. I should probably get a pro to set the bike up to fit me better. Thank you
Of course! My pleasure. I am an Athletic Therapist over here in BC and part of what I do is prevention. Perhaps it's an easy fix with a longer seat post? I am 6'2" tall and feel your pain with things not fitting properly. The suspension on that bike looks awesome!@@tshansen
@@PiGnarSquared That was not a bad idea… i have to see if that is possible to get on this bike. Thank you so much for addressing this. Truly appreciate it.
Excellent choice! 👍 I’ve had my Cube emtb for about 5 years now and take it away in my motorhome. Like you say, it can get you places motorbikes aren’t allowed. 👍
Thank you sir.... Cube is a brand I looked into as well when I did my research. Funny thing, every time I startet to look for a bike, it always doubled in price after a couple of searches. 😂
I'm not sure many people know this about you Tjommi.... I would love to see you trow around a MTB and show me a couple of tricks. Before you know it, we will party with Gretha and riding around with green flags on our tails 😂
I picked up a OHM Quest a couple of years back, 600W and 85Nm torque, range about 120km (level easy riding) less with hills etc. Its not a mountain bike, they call it a SUV - in the middle of off road and on road. I don't ride it as much as I thought I would, hard enough getting time to ride my 2 motorcycles. 1st world problems. 😎
Good morning mate, had to google it. Great bike and i can understand the predicament. I have to wait and see how much i will use it myself. But as the winter season is here, there is just not an option to ride my motorcycle so i imagine it will be used a lot in the winter. Not so much in the summer. We have to wait and see 😇 Most definitely a 1st world problem 🙈👏🏻
Always liked riding bikes and it's what kind of got me into motorcycling recently, but unfortunately there just isn't enough time for everything... Nice bike 👍🏻
I have not been riding bikes since I was a kid. I did not know I had such interest either. My kid growing up got me into looking for a bike that I could do with him. To actually have this fun and get it so related to my motorcycle riding and adventures is a new pluss. Let's see what we can make of this in-between the motorcycle videos. Cheers
@@tshansento be honest I sometimes think that Road Bike and e-Bike is the best combination. Adventure bikes are great if you want to travel far away and don't know what to expect, but if you live in one of the developed countries, then probably roads are good there, and off-road is prohibited, expect of specially selected areas. So that's where e-bikes make perfect sense for those who want to explore.
@@SergeyVikultsev you are touching on a really interesting topic that a lot of people refuse to talk about! It took me a while to accept this as well, but there is truly no other way if you want to really explore here! And it will become even less options in a couple of years 🔥
@@tshansenMy guess is that’s why many companies started to re-introduce sport-touring (or crossover) bikes in recent years. Adventure bikes stay on the road and never see the gravel dust in most cases. Anyway, a good topic to think about :)
I have ktm 990 smt motorbike, cube stereohybrid 140 e mountainbike and my park/enduro mtb bike giant reing sx 29 and right know the emtb gets the most kilometers. It is the funniest machine i have ever owned and, it teaches so much riding skill
I can relate to that. It is really fun and so easy to bank x amount of KM without feeling to much like a training session. Just getting out there, make sure that the skills does not get to rusty before the new motorcycle season kicks in again. Cheers
The world ticks so simple: E-mountain bike = good, motorbike = bad. You can choose now, Thomas. And it's easy to pack a EMTB into your van. Happy rides, Günter/Nürnberg
The motorcycles and engines are getting heavily restricted now and in the upcoming years. This may be the new way going forward. Not sure, but until then, I will do both bike and motorcycle. And to have so much fun going on adventures with my camper van. Win Win. Cheers Günter 🙌🏻
Riding a few Haibikes since 2017 , Yamaha Drives This is my next choice A no trainer, as the Parts Hang and a free battery on the 07 All for 2,599.00 now (oct.2024)
And one more tip - don’t lubricate your fork on the outside. You will get a lot of mud on you lubricate which will scratch your fork. It works with special oil cartridge inside and that’s enough. Like in a motorbike.
That is a great tip… i just did it to lubricate the seal, I dried everything away afterwards. Made sure to clean it properly after. But it is no need for that at all then?
@@tshansen yes, right, you don't need any external lubricant there. You just need to do periodically maintenance with disassembling, internal cleaning and oil changing.
Yeah you remind me then i got back into riding bikes and it started with a shitty mireda that spent more time in the shop than out 😂 pay for what you get...then from trek remedy to now a 2022 focus sam² ebike...its the same here too with moto bikes...only certain places you can go to and not that much...more so places for mtn than motos, but i rather still be riding a bike that you can still get fit from than riding a moto or scooter...thats why i sold thst also 😊
The one thing I don't get with bikes, that I get much more of with motorcycle, is the sense of freedom! That's why I have both now. I ride my Motorcycle on adventures and I go tru offroad and have a great time on the trials (legal) with my e-mtb! And I'm in the shape of my life 🙌🏻
@tshansen that's why I sold my scooter...I can get up 30-40km/h on my e-bike and get fit at same time...not sure on the 500w battery on the moro though...like to think about one but with more battery...and I like Yamaha too because I had a Yamaha jetski back in 2012 and it was reliable as!
That is perfectly fine mate ☺️ I will not stop making motorcycle videos, but i will add more adventure videos where I’m out on the road with both my bike and van, and my motorcycle. If that is not your cup of tea, i can understand that, and are thankful for the support this far. Cheers 👋
If you put the word review in the and the name of the bike in the search field, you might have better luck finding reviews of the bike. This is not a review, nor a paid commercial. This is me showing why I have bought a second bike, not two motorcycles. But thank you (I guess) 🤔
@@tshansen Absolutely, I can fix that! 😊Congrats with your new eBike and thanks for a great video where you showcase it! Looking forward to more eBike videos! I have a decent Hard Rocx terrain bicycle. Most parts on it are Shimano XT type, that is good stuff!
In auto mode I guess that is somewhat correct to my first impressions of the range, but I'm not sure if that will be consistent with my usage. This is a bike I will climb up steep tracks and trails... not travel for longer distances (so far) So it is plenty enough range for what I have been using it for. I may get an extra battery. and I need to find a solution to charge it inside the car when I'm travel from campsite to campsite. It takes approx 3.5 hours to fully charge the battery.
@@boomer_75 Really great to know. I may need an extra battery then... thank you for letting me know. This is completely new for me and there is so much to learn 🤩
Yeah, I'm 200 cm tall, most bikes looks small next to me 🤣 I have done some adjustments to the seat hight and optimized it for my size as much as I can.
Don't know why they call them mountain bikes. No one has ever ridden up a real mountain on one... the Eiger? Nope, K2? Nope, Everest? Nope! I'll stick to my Adventure Motorcycle here in Australia. Stick to what you're awesome at Tomas, adventure bike videos...
Well, it depends on what your definition of a Mountain is, but i can assure you i have been up a couple of mountains just the last week. But you can argue on why they call it adventure bikes? When it never been around the world. To Africa or another remote area 😇 Thank you for that feedback and honest opinion mate. Appreciate that. There is only one problem with adventure motorcycle videos. I can’t go on enough adventures to keep making videos about just that. If I’m lucky i can get one or two long trips every year. The rest is family life and small periods of vacation to spend on local roads. For me, to keep on doing what i love and challenge my creative mind, i need to adapt and try new branches of this adventure game. But there is not certain i will make that much MTB videos. I’m more of a travel video guy. Again, thank you. Appreciate it. Cheers
I did a lot of research before getting one, looking at Specialized, Scott, etc. Compared to price and what you get I really can't understand how you could state that Yamaha bikes are trash? From my perspective it looks like a much better deal than a lot of the other really high prices options? Please enlighten me if I'm wrong.
@@tshansen Comparing a scott & Specialized to a yamaha bike is like comparing a royal enfield to a triumph. Don;t know how much you spend but, comparing to those brands I assume it wasn't cheap. With more or less you could get a YT, Propain, Canyon, Cube, Radon with carbon frame, fox suspension, bigger battery, better groupset and better brakes. Plus they would run shimano or bosh motor that is way more efficient than yamaha .
@@Angelosts Well, the Yamaha was half the price to the top end competition. And yes, I get that you could probably get much better parts on more expensive bikes. But the question is, do I or many others like me need it? I get the battery and longer range, that is vital. But what I have seen from the engine? I see that much more expensive bikes run with the Yamaha moter, and has been for years. This is valuable info and gives me much better insight to this (brand new world) of biking. I just compare it to the motorcycle world. There are much better bikes on paper than my Tenere 700, for double the price. But it's not twice as great to ride, It is a great allrounder that is in the middle tier of bikes. I get the impression the EMTB from Yamaha is the same?
@@tshansen Now all motorbike brands make e-bikes because it is the new thing, it is the new fashion and bring more people to the mountian bike world. None of them has the knowledge and experience how to make/design good bikes with good geometry, effective linkage and suspension. MTBs share many similarities to dirt bikes but believe me they are totaly different and none of the motorbike brands have the knowledge to design a good mtb. I really doupt that they even produce the bikes. Think otherwise, if specialized produce an adventure motorbike, would you buy it?
I really enjoyed seeing your perspective on how rad these Yamaha Moro 07's are! Everyone else is just talking tech and MTB riding. They are very useful in more than one way and so many don't see this. So awesome you are putting this out like this!
I just became a dealer and it's the best all around bike I've ever sold. Yamaha is a sold long going like you said and I've always loved them since my first 1979 YZ 250! Enjoy your adventures riding!
Yeah, i find it really strange that not more people use this bikes for more than just downhill. They are such great mountain tourers. you have no limits with these kind of bikes. And i absolutely love it. I will make a lot more adventure type videos with e-MTB in the upcoming years. I think this will be the future for many countries now with all the regulations that is coming to Motorcycles. Cheers sir, appreciate the comment.
@tshansen could you tell me the brand and how to obtain the front and rear fenders on your Moro 07? Thank you in advance.
Hi, as far as I know you have a boy and I thought to myself: What a great way to enjoy van camping and e-biking with him, instead of waiting for him to be old enough to ride his own motorbike with Dad.
I always enjoy your videos.
This is correct, i got a son, he is 9 years old now! He is really into bicycle, so this is the perfect way to spend more time with him as well 🔥🔥🙏🏻 Thank, appreciate that
Awesome … smiled all the way through the video. I’m glad you’re enjoying yourself and experimenting with different options and challenges. That’s the way to do it! And of course, thanks for sharing! Be well.
Thanks so much mate 👏🏻 Yeah, this is great in so many ways. It keeps me fit, i can travel much more with my son. He is heavily into bikes at the moment. And i can explore areas that i have not been before with my bike 🤌🏻🎥
Hi, glad to see you picked up mountain biking. I have been mountain biking for 15years and I love it as well. I just wanted to let you know that it is better to avoid cleaning your bike with a high-pressure cleaner because you will push all the dirt into the bearings. All though most bearings on modern bikes are sealed they are not as beefy as on motorcycles that's why it's better to clean with a garden hose and once in a while it's a good idea to clean the bike with hot water and soap. Also be attentive when you are spraying suspension oil, lubricants or silicone sprays in the vicinity of the disc brakes try to avoid it so they don't get contaminated. Anyway I can't wait to see what you will do with the bike. Cheers!
Thank you so much for this valuable tips. I just do what I normally do with my motorcycle, and i can imagine that is not necessarily the best thing for a bike. I will make a note of this and be more careful going forward. I really hope to bring you all along on some of the many fantastic mountain trails of Norway 🇳🇴 Again, thank you for making me aware of this. Cheers
I did not see this coming but it makes perfect sense :) I did it the other way around - started mountain biking many years ago, and got into adventure motorcycles later. I've had my eMTB for a few years now and it really is such an amazing tool. As always - thanks for sharing your videos
Hahaha, Yeah, i guess many did the same as you, not see this coming! But i have been looking at a second motorcycle for a while now! But it just does not make any sense here in Norway! A bike on the other hand ticks all the boxes and will keep the technical stuff fresh before a new season on my tenere 👏🏻🔥
Welcome to the wonderful world of offroad cycling. I have been an MTB rider since 1989 and have not yet tried an electric bike, but I am a HUGE fan because.... well you are a perfect example of why. People who would not buy a conventional bike will buy and use an E-Bike and that has GOT to be a good thing. Enjoy your new bike and the new world it opens up.
Well said! And thank you so much 🤩 I think this is the bridge between our two worlds in a perfect way. If you really get into it, i guess a regular MTB will be the way to go down the line, but now I’m having such a great time paddling around on this e-bike. And the speed and fun down in the technical terrain… whoho 😂 Absolutely love it. Cheers bud
Brilliant buy, you’ll definitely have great fun with your new Yamaha! Getting away from the clutter of life with your new bike and van will bring amazing enjoyment. Great idea , making the most of life , that’s what it’s for!!!! Enjoy.
Exactly Ewen 🙌🏻 Getting away from the clutter of life with my new adventure tools is what makes me happy and enjoy my life even more. It does not have to be expensive or the greatest. It just has to take me places I want to go. Cheers 👏🏻
Lifetime motorcycle, mountain bike & now e-MTB guy. Loved your video. Nice job and welcome to the wonderful world of the e-MTB.👍😉
And what a world it is mate... whoho! loving every second of it. And here in Norway is so many incredible tracks to go both up and down. 🙌🏻 Cheers
Yamaha is a Great choice; I've had mine for 5 years & not a single problems. Just FUN Fun fun
Thank you 🙌🏻 I tried to do some research before I got mine, all my friends going down the Spezialised route (or how you write it) And for me it only looked like most brands was twice as expensive with pretty much the same quality and components. So far I'm like a little child again, having so much fun on this thing. Just need the snow to go away now, so we can start the season again 🔥
Good set up that looks like a lot of fun great vid . You got me thinking about taking my mountain bike out now . I see the snow is getting closer to the mainland
Thank you Mark 🔥 Yeah, this is the perfect setup for my off-season travels and get me thinking that winter is not so bad after all 😂 Go fetch it and go for a spin. It is so damn fun! Cheers
Amazing video and looking forward to what so far inaccessible to you parts of Norway you will be able to explore now!
Thank you Matt… there is some really nice mountain roads i want to explore and see more of. Some incredible glaciers and waterfalls. So let’s see what the next year will bring 🔥 I have a lot of future plans, and maybe some visitors who we all know and appreciate 🔥
Yes very familiar feelings on two wheels for me as well and similar lifestyle choices. Enjoyed seeing footage of your country as i'm in Ontario Canada. I have just recently discovered these new Yamaha models and now must consider a purchase. The Moro 07 will be plenty for me and with their known quality should be excellent. Enjoy the adventures and thanks for the video.
Ooohh, Canada is high on my bucket list of places to travel and see 👏🏻 Reminds a lot of Norway I think. Just so much more and bigger.
I have had mine for a year now and I'm absolutely amazed how well they handle and the build quality. Since I'm a beginner I hove worn down the brake pads once, but that is because I'm constantly braking downhill 🤣 If you find a store, make sure to try a demo. I have friends with bikes twice the price and more. Guess what, I manage to go the same places as they and have just as much fun in the mountains. Or maybe more, because I know how much money they spent 🤩 Cheers
haha watching your intro I was so expecting an even more fancy motorbike, and love it when you turned the camera and there was something very unexpected. Another great video to watch Thomas! I guess we'll get even more special footage now as you can reach new places :)
Hahaha, i had to do a little twist on the beginning 😂 And i can’t wait to do more back roads of Norway. As you know, most hidden gems are sticktly forbidden to ride on a motorcycle. I have some plans about the 1000 meter road, rallarvegen, Kongevegen etc when the snow goes away next year. So let’s see what i can make of this going forward. Always nice to try something new and get other creative inputs for this whole video stuff. Cheers
This sounds great Thomas! Would love to cooperate on some of this... we just need to find some time @@tshansen
@@norwaywithpal my same thoughts! We really need to find time to make something together around this!
Very cool!
I’ve been looking at electric mountain bikes myself as well.
Just to be able to get to those places you can’t get to in a bike.
Cheers.
You should my friend. I can’t begin to describe how crazy fun this is and how many smiles it has put on my face. And the best part. You get a fair amount of exercise in it as well. And it is so related to Motorcycle riding. I bet my riding skills will benefit from this a lot.
Fyfasen så härligt Tjommi, helt rätt. Jag är så sugen på detta med, men det får vänta även om det skulle passa in bra med just van och ett äventyrligt uteliv. Skall bli kul att följa din fart fram Tjommi i Norges underbara natur, du är grym på att fånga den. 💪🤠🔥
Tyckte jag såg en ny biffig kniv glimta förbi med 👀☝️😁
Hahaha, det var en liten sniktitt på min nye Helle Nord kniv ja… Er fare for at det blir mer av den framover 😂🔥 Fædt Nice å kutte kjøtt og grønnsaker med (heavy duty) Dette tror jeg du hadde kost ræven av deg med. Utrolig kjekt å kjøre teknisk i skogen med noe slikt. Eneste som er litt uvant er at den har så lav bakke klaring. Så jeg feilberegner litt når jeg kjører over tuer, røtter og kanter 🙈 Mer av dette framover 🥃
Excellent….E mt bikes are awesome… great way to express the similarities and the advantages of the E bike access to areas. The minivan E bike combo is fantastic. Can’t wait to see how the build progresses.
Bravo, and again excellent production😎😎😎
Thank you Frank. They truly are, i have had so much fun lately. Just going out, trying to get familiar with everything and learn the quirks before i make more content around this. And of course, get as many tip from you guys as possible so i don’t have to learn everything from scratch 👏🏻 Cheers
Did the same thing! even tho we have a much easier time with offroad here in Portugal
I think this will be the future in combination with motorcycles for Adventure Riding. I'm quite shocked how well you can get around on these things.
Thinking of getting one of these so really good to see these reviews 👌
I have had so much fun on mine this time I could ride it. And looking forward to even more travels with it this year. 👏🏻
I was waiting for this one Thomas😇 great intro and awesome autumn shots😍 In one sentence: this video wants me to buy a Yamaha e-mtb🙃 looking forward to the films you are going to create around this. Ps, don’t forget to cover the inside walls in your Ford, otherwise they will dent sooner or later from the mtb’s handlebars. Have a great day👌
Thank you mate. Great to hear I tickled a little interest. I can promise you one thing, this is crazy fun 😂👏🏻 That is a really good point, and something I’m looking into as we speak. I need something on the walls not only to prevent the handlebar to dent it, but also to take away the damn noise when it raining 😂 I may send you a message or two on WhatsApp if you have any great ideas of what i should be using that does not means i need to build to much around it. Cheers
Cool thing!
I come from a MTB background riding further and further away from home. Next step for me was of course a motorcycle to explore more, further out.
Great to hear that mate. For me it is a little bit the other way around. I have explored so much with my bike now, there is not so much more left in have not seen before. So now i can explore new places with my bike, and go even further or ship my bike down south and explore there 👏🏻
great review. I got a Moro 05 and enjoying it. I loved the scenaries of Norway in your video. Looks similar to Washington (Seattle area) here in the US. Its a shame that Yamaha lest the US ebike market. Will look for more Yamaha ebike contents from you.
Glad you enjoyed it mate. I have a long e-mtb trip that I'm still not started to edit. So there will be more of this content as well. I think it is a shame with bot e-bike and motorcycles. So many models you don't get? for whatever reason I'm not sure of?
Cool bike👍🤤
Thank you Marius.... I'm really in love with the look of this bike myself. Really cool that Yamaha managed to make such a great looking bike.
I've been doing exactly like you for few years for the exact same reasons, and I find that my emtb is as fun as riding my motorbike. I can't live without it now. 😊 I have a Giant Trance XE+2 which also has a Yamaha engine.
I’m blown away how much i enjoyed this and how fun i have had it on the trails with a emtb. I really can’t wait for the season to start again, there will be much more content of both motorcycle and emtb in the upcoming years. I do think this is the direction most countries will end up.
@@tshansen I'm sure you'll love it more and more. The good thing is that you are really doing exercise compared to motorcycling, it costs almost nothing compared to a full tank of gas, and as you said, we can do it in any season. Right now I'm riding it in the snow. Discovering places in quiet nature is not comparable with motorcycling, more like hiking. Enjoy mate ! 👍
Ahh... you join the club at last! (I have a nice German Canyon Pathlite:on), a few tips, putting luggage on the bike (racks panniers) is much more comfortable than a rucksack, modern cycling clothing is awesome, keep hydrated! :)
Haha, thank you Robert. The only stuff I keep in the rucksack is my camera gear. I'm not sure I want that to stay on the bike. Less effort to use from my back. I will see how much of my hiking and motorcycle gear I can reuse without falling into the trap of buying a lot of new gear that probably does the same thing. But great tip and thank you. More like this please. It is all new to me so I need all the tips and tricks I can get. Cheers
Everytime I watch your channel and Robert's the sound of money going away is in my head. I want one too ! God .... But anyway, congratulations Thomas !
Hahahaha.... I guess it is like that for all of us! I have the same problem looking at your channel. Best thing is just to not watch any content 😂 Thank you. This will be a great add-on to my bike park 😂
Well done Thomas, more awesome videos on the way then! 👍👍
Thank you Nelio 🤩🔥 much more videos and a couple of crazy projects on the horizon 😇😂 cheers mate, hope you are all good 👏🏻
congrats for the new bike
Thank you sir. Appreciate it 🙌🏻
You're going to have a lot of fun with this, Thomas! besides my T7 I also have an emtb and it's great. slowly discovering off-road paths and enjoying nature is at least as beautiful as with a motorcycle. Yamaha mid-motors are known as very reliable, as we have come to expect from the brand. will you also make MTB videos in the future? Thank you! Cheers mate! 👍😃
The last couple of weeks has been absolutely amazing, with so much fun. It is crazy how this thing brings a smile on my face. Going down on narrow paths, doing technical terrain like I would never dear on a motorcycle makes me wonder if this is something I can make videos about without doing the typical MTB videos you see this days. I will most certainly explore this part of my adventures with video as well. But how much, I don't know yet. It all depends on what you guys want to see more or less of. Cheers.
You'll have great fun. I started cycling to get fitter for off road motorcycles but found I could go all the places I couldn't on a motorcycle. That motor is really good too.
Get some bags and get out camping on it :)
Yeah, this is a reason why I did it as well. I really like that I can play and enjoy my way into shape. It also gives me much more and needed time with my son who is growing up and enjoying bikes. So it is a win win in many regards. And it will still be really related to motorcycle. Haha, that is a challenge I will accept mate. Let me see if I can take it for a solo camping trip. Without a car 🤌🏻
Wow!, not what I expected but very cool. I did not know Yamaha made E-Bikes....I'm gonna check one out and see if it's a good fit for me. Thanks for always making great content!
Hope you enjoy it, yeah i was quite surprised as well when i came into the dealer and saw they made the new stand with all the bike models. And the best part. There was not a million options to choose from 🙈 Be careful, you may get hooked like i did. It is insanely fun
Where did you source the fenders for your Moro 07?
I bought them at a local sport store here in Bergen. They are called MudRocker and are universal on most bike I think. 🙏🏻
@@tshansen Thank you!
Where did you find the Fenders?
At my local sport shop... it is from a brand called mudrocker or something like that.
I have enjoyed winter riding on my e bike, piggdekk then off on the local ski track. The cold does hit the battery but i only had a biltema basic Ebike but immense fun in the mountains near Soknedal.
I need to take a closer look at piggdekk! I guess there is some really good trail riding with minimal snow! Thank you for the tip 🤩👏🏻
What gas camping stove is it that you use?
I use the Trangia 27 HA for all my cooking and coffee making. Best camping equipment on the market.
@@tshansen thank you 😎
Enjoy your new bike, I use my mountain bike to keep me fit over the winter 😀
That's the plan for me as well, and have more time with my kid as he is heavy into bikes at this stage. I think it is a win win for me in many regards. Cheers 🔥
Can’t wait for the first mods 😂
I’m already cutting out some cardboard boxes and gonna make some really great engine sound on it 😂
Congrats for the new toy/bike and I am sure yo are going to enjoy this .
Thank you Cosmo 👏🏻🤩 i’m already enjoying quite alot! Hope to Get some great trips with this 👏🏻
Hi Thomas, another very interesting and beautifully edited video. 👍 I will be very interested in a review and your thoughts on the Moro 07. Something I may well look into myself, in the future.
Hope you’ve had a restful and enjoyable Christmas with your family, and wish you and your family a very happy and healthy new year. Look forward to your new adventures. 👍 🤛😎🤜
Hello mate, so nice to hear from you again. Hope you and your brother have had a great holiday. So far i have ridden it 150km and i absolutely love it. For us, here in Norway, this is the future when it comes to true off-road and reach those remote areas with permission. I had never thought i would enjoy it this much. It is right up there with riding a motorcycle 🤩 Happy New Year, we are spending our time of work at our cabin, just relaxing. More adventures in the near future. Stay safe ☕️
What fenders did you buy for the ydx-moro 07? Those look like they fit the bike perfectly.
@@brandonlloyd1337 they are from a brand called mud rocker
Thank you!@@tshansen
I live in the French alps and it’s becoming harder to find legal trails for my Husky 701. But with an e mountain bike there is so much to explore. I just got back from a month road trip in Norway and didn’t see many mountain bikers, just touring cyclists on the roads. Are there areas where it’s more popular?
The mountain bike trend is really peaking in Norway at the moment. Yes, in some of the southern parts of Norway, and some of the ski resorts there is a lot of them. But keep in mind that some of the mountains in Norway is closed for mountain biking because of snow until now. Like Geilo mountain was open a week or two ago.
Nesbyen, Trysil and some other places are really popular. But we have insane amount of tracks all over the country. But most are away from the big citys.
Exciting and very surprising! 💪😊
One of my best ideas for a really long time. I’m enjoying this like you would not believe 🤩
@@tshansen Funny, got inspired again! 💪😄
@@gbmartinz hahaha, great to hear that! The more we Get out there the more we enjoy life 👏🏻👏🏻🔥
@@tshansen Absolutely, live now! We do not know if we will return here, or in what form 😄
Crikey Thomas, I heard people in Norway are complaining about the amount of camervans/motorhomes on the roads 😂. I look forward to seeing how more amazing your video productions of Norway will be and forgive my ignorance but can you freely enter private land on a battery bike but not on a motorcycle in your country 🤔 don't ride too far from your cameras it may be a long way back if the battery is flat. All joking aside I cannot wait to see where your new Yamaha will take you and I to hope to bring my campervan to Norway soon 🤘🏻
Hahaha we complain about that all the time. But there is nothing wrong with the campers… it is more the people who ride it 10-20 km/h under the speed limit looking on everything and don’t let people pass them on narrow roads. That can be a mental game you would not believe 😂 Well, you can ride on the outer land of a property, but not inside a fence near houses etc. You have the right to roam here in Norway, so we got a lot of freedom to use our nature. You can’t be a land owner and lock it away behind fences etc. Hahaha…. That is a great point. I think i will use my drone and action cam more 😂 I feel a little bit stressed out when I’m far from “home” and the last battery level is blinking. Cheers mate
I have a Talaria Sting R for much fun in my local area. 🙂👍🏻
Nice, how big battery is it on that one? I think this will still be a "motorcycle" pr definition in Norway and not allowed to take anywhere (legal) But it looks sick 🙌🏻
@@tshansen the MX4 has 2700 Wh or 45 Ah @ 60 V. Some Americans do remove all parts so it looks like a motorless bike. It is so quiet, I do ride many tracks that was not possible with the KTM. When passing slowly there is no bad response so far.
@@espero7757 Damn i want to try one of those 🤩 It looks sick! And i bet you would have a lot of fun on tracks around. How much does it weight?
@@tshansen … with battery 70 kg. Runs when limited for street use about 48 km/h. One charge runs about 90 km‘s for me. Much fun for the village and the farmers around to get fresh eggs.
For further rides I get a HONDA CB125R in a couple of weeks.
My KTM 790 AdvR RALLY (2020) goes to Portugal 🇵🇹 to her new rider.
Awesome! Having 2 types of bike for different purposes is my definition of living the dream. I'm sorry to hear Norway does not allow Offroad riding, but I respect each culture's decision to draw the line wherever they do. Maybe your new bike would be easier to take in an airplane and explore other parts of the world...?
Yeah, everything falls into a bigger plan. You see, this makes it easier for me to ship my motorcycle down south in the winter, fly down and use it in Spain, have my emtb at home with my camper van and still be able to adventure around and do what i love most. And as you say, It is much easier to ship or fly your bike than your motorcycle as well. There will be some new adventures in the horizon. Just wait and see 😇🔥
When you say riding off road in Norway is illegal what exactly do you mean? Do you mean trailblazing where no path is created is illegal or are there no sanctioned dirt bike single track trails anywhere in Norway?
Well, the word Off-road in Norway is misleading! Everything that is not on what you would call a road or gravel road is normally forbidden. Single trails, most fire roads, paths etc are forbidden. I know many people including myself has bending the rules sometimes. But Norway is really not the country to ride off-road. There is some dirt tracks in norway, but really few. Most is forbidden because the places they are located get a lot of noise pollution according to the local people who don’t want us near, just listen to bird songs.
@@tshansen Ah I see. Thank you. That’s tough for sure.
Just got one for myself and after 1 ride I love it! I see you have fenders, which I would love but was told they don’t make any yet. Are you able to tell me what you have on yours? Ty! 😊
you are gonna be just as hooked as I am 😂 Love this bike! I use front and rear fender from Mudrocker. Easy to attach with strips and stays in place.
for me in the UK the Moro 07 has caught my eye, and I'm a die hard no ebike man! an attempted theft of my tenere this year has really changed my feeling on travelling in the UK by bike. an ebike can be put out of sight or even in the room of a hostel etc so I keep finding myself thinking....
Hahaha Die Hard no e-bike man is something to tattoo on the arm 😂 I swore when i was younger to never bicycle again. What fore? You have engines. But now, I’m a wiser man and this is stupidly fun. And your point is really important to think about. These days, with everything going on, all the bikes getting nicked. Stop thinking and go for it mate. You wont regret it.
@@tshansen I need to have a clear out first! bikes are too easy to buy and too hard to sell! have a 125 beta rr and a gas gas txt125 pro to work out what to do with!
I ride MC and EMTB. I totalt agree with your experience. Both bikes gives at lot of wellness for body and mind😊. A tip: Raise your seatheight 2-3 cm😊
Thank you for the tip. Do you know if it is possible to get longer seat rod? This is maximum height for the original one?
@@tshansenhi Thomas, are you sure the seat post is at max height? It looks like a dropper post to me and I can only see the telescopic part and collar out of the seat tube of the frame. Hard to tell from the footage but you should be able to loosen the seat clamp and lift the dropper post body higher (hose length permitting). Looking at the specifications you should have 150mm travel dropper but this should then be height adjustable up to a minimum insertion depth in the frame. This would be marked on the part of the seat post inserted in the frame. The 150mm dropper travel isn’t for seat height setting, it’s there to allow you to get it out of the way when descending steep terrain and you need to move your butt further back to prevent over handlebar moments. Your comfort height should be achievable 🤞
Mountain bikes and Enduro/ Offroad ADV go hand in hand! Happy to see you use the mtb to develop skills on the big bike. I wish mountain bikers would see it properly that way, because they really are the same sport.. As someones whos ridden MTB for 20 od years and Dualsport for maybe only 10. All I can say is this. One isn't better than the other for any particular reason, however proper "Enduro" or dirbiking is better for you physically than a conventional Mtb ride, with E-bikes giving you much less of the work out unfortunately. The learning gap is my preference with moto, which is why I've probably been so fixed on it for the last 10 years. There are so many small techniques and skills to develop on the Enduro side of things the list is endless. Once you become proficient on the mtb, the only skill to work towards is virtually just going faster, aka higher consequence. Don't get me wrong it is extremely rewarding to work towards a difficulty or certain trail on the mtb, but in my case it's the same cardio, on the same climbing trail, for the same 25 min of riding downhill.. Whereas with enduro, as soon as that front wheel touches the single track you're learning, riding hard, working out, etc. You can ride slower to work on skills, you can ride faster, work on clutch control, weight distribution, the list goes on and then it differs from each kind of bike! Not only that but mountainbiking as a whole has gotten too soft and manicured, nevermind the consumerism aspect that had been a plague in mtb.. Let's not even compare the price of that Yamaha E-mtb to motorcycle, enough said.. At the end of the day, the skills you work towards on the E-mtb will go hand in hand with the skills for the ADV riding, and vise versa. As long as you have rubber on the ground, and two wheels keeping ya moving, you're living your life and that's what matters.
And of course out geographical locations do dictate the perceptions of what's essentially "riding bikes in nature". I'm sorry that you don't have the luxury of offroad riding in Norway, something I definitely take for granted being from BC Canada. You found a viable option to get out and explore the backroads and for that I applaud you. If the roles where switches I would like to think I would be doing the same. If I may; I would also just to critique two things about that part with maintenance. Please fact check a few more places about greasing or putting anything on the forks. It's just not a thing. Maybe woulden't be as much of an issue for the winter (although I still don't recommend), but come summer with some dust it will ruin the fork seals immediately. Service them the same as you would a motorcycle fork. And I would advice to cut off that plastic ring on the rear wheel. It won't do anything on the best of days, but the social norm associates those with cheap bikes as with the reflectors. Just my 2 cents though of course! I wish you well with the MTB and van setup. I hope you make some great youtube vids doing those and record some riding on the gopro for us! Chears.
Damn, this is the comments you hope to get on your videos. Thank you so much for taking the time and i really appreciate the feedback and knowledge around this. Yes, you have a really strong and important point when it comes to learning the skills on a MTB vs a Enduro bike. Enduro is just on another planet, and something i wish there was more options to ride here in Norway. But sadly there is just no point. And the few tracks you can ride is just so far away or the same over and over again that it kinda takes the fun out of it. For me at least.
I have seen a lot of people greasing their seals, but i have no clue if it is the right or wrong way to do it. I did dry away every access grease and it looks ok so far, but i will not do it again before i get confirmation that this is how Rockshox would do it. Thank you for the advice. When it comes to the fenders. Here in norway we have MUD fest almost everywhere we go. And having my camera gear on the back there is just no way to ride without one. I don’t care much if people mistake me for a fool or rookie. I can live with that, keep in mind, i wear crocs all year around 😂👏🏻 There is no point hiding that this is extremely fun and something i will be doing much more of at least the next couple of years. How much video i will make of it is not sure about yet, but some trips in remote nature of Norway is a given. Let’s see what we can make of it, and again. Thank you so much for taking the time to comment on this. I truly appreciate it. Cheers 🥃
@@tshansen Happy to help, if there's any other mtb related questions you have don't hesitate to send them my way! And I apologize, I misspoke on the plastic thing. I meant for that clear ring behind the cassette / or "gears". I totally respect the mud guard for the back tire, as it's never that fun getting a wet bum haha. Plus it's never fun having to clean mud excessively never mind off a camera bag. The plasic ring is a regulatory requirement and the idea behind it is if the chain slips off that it wont fall into the spokes and get all tangled up. In my experience it's hard for the chain to slip "up", and the more likely is the chain slips down on the top gears and gets jamed near the axle/frame. If you keep the derailer adjusted well it shouldn't happen untill the drive train has had a good life. And yea I may do some research as well for the stantions greasing as I haven't heard of or seen people grease them before. I would wager it's safer for longevity of the seals to just keep them clean from drying mud when you get back from a ride. That being said no matter what you do, servicing your suspension every couple years with a suspension tech is always a good idea. I have lyrik on the Nomad and they've treated me exceptionally well since 2017~. Another word of caution is to do a thorough bolt check after a few more rides, bikes settle in after the first few rides. So derailer adjustment might change (cable will gain slack), bolts may wiggle loose (less than fun if you lose one), brakes should be fine, tire preasures are always good to check before a ride. Cheers Thomas🍻
@DamonStangherlin Aaahh… that see trough thing behind the cassette. Haha, I wonder what the hell that thing was 😂 Take it away tomorrow. Now that you mention it. I registered a sound from the bike today i did not hear before. Almost like the same sound and feel you get if the steering bearing on the motorcycle is loose. But it’s not from the handlebars. And it’s not from the shocks (like i see many people struggle with) maybe it is one of the bolts on the rear link or something. I need to check my bolts tomorrow as well. Damn, this is really valuable information for me. Thank you so much for taking the time to point me in the right direction 👏🏻 Legend!
This is a good way to get more fun
Indeed it is… and with my skill level, i have way more fun in technical terrain with a emtb than a motorcycle. I’m not good enough to really ride my motorcycle this hard. The bike is just so much easier to trow around and jump with.
Hvordan tenker du å lade sykkelen når du er på tur? Laderen trenger vel nettstrøm?
God kveld Ove 🤩 Jeg har kikket litt på alternativer fra EcoFlow, Anker, Jackery osv. Men det er ganske kostbare «power banks» med veldig enkelt å ta med seg. Alternativet er at jeg bygger en egen batteri kasse, med en Converter og et litium batteri. Som jeg også enkelt kan plugge inn å lade sykkelen. Jeg får se hva som passer mitt bruk best og ikke koster en halv nyre. Men ja du har helt rett… den må lades underveis.
@@tshansen hvor mange volt er batteriet på da? Eller rettere sagt, hvor stor er laderen? Hva er utspenningen og hva kan den levere i strøm?
@@Ove_Bjerknes Det er et steike godt spørsmål, jeg sitter på hytten og laderen ligger oppe i bilen. Så jeg får ikke sjekket før i morgen.
@@tshansen normalt sett er dem på 36 eller 42 volt. Og hvis batteriet ditt er på rundt 500 watt så vil det si at kapasiteten på batteriet er rundt 10-15 ampere. Da tappes bilbatteriet fort. Men at du bør bruke et eksternt batteri til dette er nok sikkert. Det tryggeste er nok en slik batteribank som du snakket om. Men det koster jo skjorta. Solcelle kan jo være en løsning, men du skal ha et voksent solcellesystem for å få strøm nok til å lade et slikt batteri. Man kan jo lade det mens man kjører bil selvsagt eller mens motoren går, men det er jo ikke sikkert er like heldig alltid.
@Ove_Bjerknes Ja, dette er ikke mitt sterkeste fagfelt. Men planen var å bygge et eget strøm oppsett bare til sykkelen. Ikke noe som var koblet mot driftsbatteriet på bilen. Rigge for mye greier blir vanskelig da det ikke er mer plass enn det må være. Men jeg får prøve å sende noen e-poster å se om det er mulig å få noe influencer avtaler med noen av de som lager disse store power bankene. Det er helt klart den mest sexy og enkle løsningen, men som du sier. Sinnsykt dyrt.
I guess the problem is that you need a van to get to where the path is starting. 😁
Jokes aside, I used to cycle 13km to/from work every day (not electric), but I simply got sick of all the maintenance needed.
Chain/sprocket replacement every 200-300km and spokes breaking on a monthly basis. Had to have 2 bikes ready at any time, as one of them would always be in need of repair.
I had hydraulic and mechanical disk breaks on my bikes, and as a motorcyclist I found them to be inadequate. (Asking the cycle shops to fix this, I was informed that I should cycle not use the breaks.)
And yes, I am a "big guy". Around 120kg. Tried to upgrade to better quality components as they broke/wore out, but usually the more expensive components were just a couple of grams lighter, not any stronger.
From what I can see the electric bikes do not have any reinforcements that will allow a higher load than the manual bikes.
But good luck! You are of course much lighter than me, and if you do not use the bike every day you probably will have a lot of fun with it.
(I may actually dig out my old bikes and use it for more leisurely tasks than going to work.) 🦼
This is really good and valuable information for me Halvard. I have no clue about this, and yes, I wound be using my bike every day, and if it brakes down, i don’t need it the next day. But having extra components laying around, is not a bad idea. Extra rubber, and inner tubes is a no brainer. But extra chain, cassettes and brake pads. Maybe discs as well if they are not to expensive. Will keep an eye out for this. Thank you.
Chain and Sprocket replacement every 200 - 300 km ? 🤔 I think you considering to look out for an other cycleshop / mechanic.🤗
@@gerharddahlheimer5485 I think i mixed up the zero’s… it has to be 2000-3000km ?
After a few months, have you got an idea on range for average pedal assist?
Yes, I have a certain clue. With a lot of uphill and climbing on auto it last for about 40km on average.
@@tshansen cool, thanks! are you still enjoying it?
@@matthewallison6823 ooohh yes! Use it much more than i first thought i would 🤩🤌🏻
as your own physical involvement is required at an increased rate, the satisfaction follows proportionally... good move!
Well said mate. And thank you 🤩👏🏻
Sweet! I've been thinking about doing the same thing. Looking forward to seeing what you get up to. Note: your seat looks a little low- you want a slight bend in your knee at the bottom of your stroke- too much will lead to knee pain. All the best!
Thank you mate. Well, I’m to tall for most bikes like this, so there is no more range for the seat to be higher 😂 So i got to adapt like i have to with most other bikes. I have no plan of paddle around for many miles or days in and out. Just explore the mountains and have a great time going down again. But thank you for the tip. I should probably get a pro to set the bike up to fit me better. Thank you
Of course! My pleasure. I am an Athletic Therapist over here in BC and part of what I do is prevention. Perhaps it's an easy fix with a longer seat post? I am 6'2" tall and feel your pain with things not fitting properly. The suspension on that bike looks awesome!@@tshansen
@@PiGnarSquared That was not a bad idea… i have to see if that is possible to get on this bike. Thank you so much for addressing this. Truly appreciate it.
Excellent choice! 👍 I’ve had my Cube emtb for about 5 years now and take it away in my motorhome. Like you say, it can get you places motorbikes aren’t allowed. 👍
Thank you sir.... Cube is a brand I looked into as well when I did my research. Funny thing, every time I startet to look for a bike, it always doubled in price after a couple of searches. 😂
@@tshansen You won’t go far wrong with the Yamaha emtb. 👍.
@@A.S.R.68 Hahaha.... 😂 You think 500Wh is to small?
Absolutely not. Mine is a 500Wh and it’s more than enough for a good day out. 👍.
MTB is great fun and it's what I learnt offroad skills on. So it will help for sure. Now I want one too... (damn expensive tho)
I'm not sure many people know this about you Tjommi.... I would love to see you trow around a MTB and show me a couple of tricks. Before you know it, we will party with Gretha and riding around with green flags on our tails 😂

I picked up a OHM Quest a couple of years back, 600W and 85Nm torque, range about 120km (level easy riding) less with hills etc. Its not a mountain bike, they call it a SUV - in the middle of off road and on road. I don't ride it as much as I thought I would, hard enough getting time to ride my 2 motorcycles. 1st world problems. 😎
Good morning mate, had to google it. Great bike and i can understand the predicament. I have to wait and see how much i will use it myself. But as the winter season is here, there is just not an option to ride my motorcycle so i imagine it will be used a lot in the winter. Not so much in the summer. We have to wait and see 😇 Most definitely a 1st world problem 🙈👏🏻
Always liked riding bikes and it's what kind of got me into motorcycling recently, but unfortunately there just isn't enough time for everything...
Nice bike 👍🏻
I have not been riding bikes since I was a kid. I did not know I had such interest either. My kid growing up got me into looking for a bike that I could do with him. To actually have this fun and get it so related to my motorcycle riding and adventures is a new pluss. Let's see what we can make of this in-between the motorcycle videos. Cheers
I am 100% agree with you!
Thank you mate 👏🏻
@@tshansento be honest I sometimes think that Road Bike and e-Bike is the best combination. Adventure bikes are great if you want to travel far away and don't know what to expect, but if you live in one of the developed countries, then probably roads are good there, and off-road is prohibited, expect of specially selected areas. So that's where e-bikes make perfect sense for those who want to explore.
@@SergeyVikultsev you are touching on a really interesting topic that a lot of people refuse to talk about! It took me a while to accept this as well, but there is truly no other way if you want to really explore here! And it will become even less options in a couple of years 🔥
@@tshansenMy guess is that’s why many companies started to re-introduce sport-touring (or crossover) bikes in recent years. Adventure bikes stay on the road and never see the gravel dust in most cases. Anyway, a good topic to think about :)
I have ktm 990 smt motorbike, cube stereohybrid 140 e mountainbike and my park/enduro mtb bike giant reing sx 29 and right know the emtb gets the most kilometers. It is the funniest machine i have ever owned and, it teaches so much riding skill
I can relate to that. It is really fun and so easy to bank x amount of KM without feeling to much like a training session. Just getting out there, make sure that the skills does not get to rusty before the new motorcycle season kicks in again. Cheers
The world ticks so simple: E-mountain bike = good, motorbike = bad. You can choose now, Thomas. And it's easy to pack a EMTB into your van. Happy rides, Günter/Nürnberg
The motorcycles and engines are getting heavily restricted now and in the upcoming years. This may be the new way going forward. Not sure, but until then, I will do both bike and motorcycle. And to have so much fun going on adventures with my camper van. Win Win. Cheers Günter 🙌🏻

And one more tip - don’t lubricate your fork on the outside. You will get a lot of mud on you lubricate which will scratch your fork. It works with special oil cartridge inside and that’s enough. Like in a motorbike.
That is a great tip… i just did it to lubricate the seal, I dried everything away afterwards. Made sure to clean it properly after. But it is no need for that at all then?
@@tshansen yes, right, you don't need any external lubricant there. You just need to do periodically maintenance with disassembling, internal cleaning and oil changing.
@@TheSergey1986zp Thank you so much for this info, really appreciate it
Yeah you remind me then i got back into riding bikes and it started with a shitty mireda that spent more time in the shop than out 😂 pay for what you get...then from trek remedy to now a 2022 focus sam² ebike...its the same here too with moto bikes...only certain places you can go to and not that much...more so places for mtn than motos, but i rather still be riding a bike that you can still get fit from than riding a moto or scooter...thats why i sold thst also 😊
The one thing I don't get with bikes, that I get much more of with motorcycle, is the sense of freedom! That's why I have both now. I ride my Motorcycle on adventures and I go tru offroad and have a great time on the trials (legal) with my e-mtb! And I'm in the shape of my life 🙌🏻
@tshansen that's why I sold my scooter...I can get up 30-40km/h on my e-bike and get fit at same time...not sure on the 500w battery on the moro though...like to think about one but with more battery...and I like Yamaha too because I had a Yamaha jetski back in 2012 and it was reliable as!

why do all these videos just look like paids ads are there any reviews?
If you put the word review in the and the name of the bike in the search field, you might have better luck finding reviews of the bike. This is not a review, nor a paid commercial. This is me showing why I have bought a second bike, not two motorcycles. But thank you (I guess) 🤔

500wh=45 km. Buy another one 😉
In auto mode I guess that is somewhat correct to my first impressions of the range, but I'm not sure if that will be consistent with my usage. This is a bike I will climb up steep tracks and trails... not travel for longer distances (so far) So it is plenty enough range for what I have been using it for. I may get an extra battery. and I need to find a solution to charge it inside the car when I'm travel from campsite to campsite. It takes approx 3.5 hours to fully charge the battery.
@@tshansen i have Bosch and 750wh , 1800 altitude meters is the maximum ☝️. You will see. Enjoy new toy 😉

Bike looks small
Yeah, I'm 200 cm tall, most bikes looks small next to me 🤣 I have done some adjustments to the seat hight and optimized it for my size as much as I can.
Don't know why they call them mountain bikes. No one has ever ridden up a real mountain on one... the Eiger? Nope, K2? Nope, Everest? Nope! I'll stick to my Adventure Motorcycle here in Australia. Stick to what you're awesome at Tomas, adventure bike videos...
Well, it depends on what your definition of a Mountain is, but i can assure you i have been up a couple of mountains just the last week. But you can argue on why they call it adventure bikes? When it never been around the world. To Africa or another remote area 😇 Thank you for that feedback and honest opinion mate. Appreciate that. There is only one problem with adventure motorcycle videos. I can’t go on enough adventures to keep making videos about just that. If I’m lucky i can get one or two long trips every year. The rest is family life and small periods of vacation to spend on local roads. For me, to keep on doing what i love and challenge my creative mind, i need to adapt and try new branches of this adventure game. But there is not certain i will make that much MTB videos. I’m more of a travel video guy. Again, thank you. Appreciate it. Cheers
Yamaha ebikes are trash......better ask a mountain biker next time ....
I did a lot of research before getting one, looking at Specialized, Scott, etc. Compared to price and what you get I really can't understand how you could state that Yamaha bikes are trash? From my perspective it looks like a much better deal than a lot of the other really high prices options? Please enlighten me if I'm wrong.
@@tshansen Comparing a scott & Specialized to a yamaha bike is like comparing a royal enfield to a triumph. Don;t know how much you spend but, comparing to those brands I assume it wasn't cheap. With more or less you could get a YT, Propain, Canyon, Cube, Radon with carbon frame, fox suspension, bigger battery, better groupset and better brakes. Plus they would run shimano or bosh motor that is way more efficient than yamaha .
@@Angelosts Well, the Yamaha was half the price to the top end competition. And yes, I get that you could probably get much better parts on more expensive bikes. But the question is, do I or many others like me need it? I get the battery and longer range, that is vital. But what I have seen from the engine? I see that much more expensive bikes run with the Yamaha moter, and has been for years. This is valuable info and gives me much better insight to this (brand new world) of biking. I just compare it to the motorcycle world. There are much better bikes on paper than my Tenere 700, for double the price. But it's not twice as great to ride, It is a great allrounder that is in the middle tier of bikes. I get the impression the EMTB from Yamaha is the same?
@@tshansen Now all motorbike brands make e-bikes because it is the new thing, it is the new fashion and bring more people to the mountian bike world. None of them has the knowledge and experience how to make/design good bikes with good geometry, effective linkage and suspension. MTBs share many similarities to dirt bikes but believe me they are totaly different and none of the motorbike brands have the knowledge to design a good mtb. I really doupt that they even produce the bikes. Think otherwise, if specialized produce an adventure motorbike, would you buy it?
