I finally upgraded to an E-Bike for my commute and it has almost eliminated any excuse to take the vehicle. My commute is 12.5 miles (20km) each way so it was easy to say I didn't have enough time if I was running late in the morning or to get home in time for family night if I had a late meeting but with my E-Bike my commute is nearly the same time by bike or vehicle. As an added bonus I am fresher for those longer weekend rides on my Roubaix
I will be working in a small Wiltshire place to where I'll be commuting exactly the same distance like you do. I was scared I'm overestimating the effort but I guess it's doable? What do you recommend?
I have a 12.5 mile commute each way. It’s easy to do on the E bike. It’s as quick as the car and is so much more enjoyable. The only thing that gets me to work quicker and more fun is my motorbike.
I have been commuting to work daily since March 2020 and love it. I get to work happier and am better set to handle my day. Sitting in traffic in a car is far less interesting. Do it for all the right reasons, the time is NOW!
The great thing about ebikes is that you can wear Lycra and push yourself hard and get a good workout, or you can wear jeans and a t shirt or your business clothes, let the motor do the work, and arrive with no sweat on you. If you push hard, you’re pedalling a heavy bike on legs alone once you go over the motor’s cutoff speed (26kmh where I live). Makes for quite a workout! An ebike got me back into cycling, I’ve since retired it and bought a road bike
Before the COVID crisis, I commute quite a lot on my Cube Kathmandu ebike. The daily commute was about 14km, and love the acceleration of the line in the city. Often the fastest form of transportation in The Hague. Sometimes the longer route, is the quickest when you know which traffic lights are a bottleneck. With decent suspension, disc brakes and lights it's quite a comfortable ride to work. And it is fun racing the trams in the city.
To anyone and everyone complaining about the "super expensive bikes" and "gcn becoming top gear for people who cant afford them", i advise you to look at their playlist for the past week, past month, past year. Then ask yourself that again. Theyre providing quality cycling content for all financial ranges, and it doesnt mean that since you cant afford this brand x bike, you cant apply their advise to the bike you own.
A couple of things I've not seen mentioned: 1. if you're wearing normal trousers on the bike, pant clips are helpful. 2. if your shoes have long laces, you might want to tuck the excess into your shoes to keep them out of the chainring.
Something for bikers in the US where I live is to splurge on a good helmet or a good light system that comes with lights on it for turn signals. Since we have to ride bikes with cars on the regular road, you want to alert cars behind you that you're turning.
Totally agree. If you are mixing it with every kind of traffic which I do because of lack of infrastructure, then you need to be able to communicate your intentions to the vehicles behind or around you. I'm still on a normal hybrid bike but will go electric in the foreseeable future. I have two motorbike mirrors on my handlebars so I can always clearly see what's coming up behind me from a long distance without having to look behind. When I am changing my position or lane I still will look behind to emphasise my communication with the vehicle behind. I always have a daytime flashing front light and a good headlight for the dark. Now on the back I am using a little Macgyverism of my own. I have a 70cm length of 12mm (½ inch) light and flexible water pipe the same width as my handlebars attached to the back of my carrier rack with two pipe clips. On either side I have a bright flashing 150 lumens tail light. This makes my bicycle look wider to traffic from behind day or night and encourages them to pass with a wider berth. On the dull winter days and nights when in traffic I also use two really good separate right and left Bluetooth indicators to further emphasise my intentions when in traffic along with clear hand signals and glancing behind. They work great. It doesn't matter how right I may be, if there's any misunderstanding of my intentions with a 40 tonne truck right behind me, there's only going to be one loser. And it won't be the truck.😢 The pipe is attached by two pipe clips which can be loosened with a few turns of a 7mm spanner and slid around on the carrier rack to lie flush along the side of the bike out of the way in half a minute. I always wear a bright orange hi-vis vest and a helmet. And I have racks front and back for baskets, crates and a variety of panniers for every occasion. Plus a couple of trailers for all kinds of really heavy or bulky cargo but that's a whole other story! Many will say it's overdoing it but because there is virtually no safe or adequate cycle lanes or paths, I'm another smaller slower vehicle on the road amongst other traffic with the same rights to be there but also with the same responsibilities. That's what I'm doing and I believe it helps keep me safer. Safe cycling everyone.
Ebikes are brilliant, and will act as a gateway drug to many buying themselves a traditional road bike. Brilliant things they are. More people on bikes and less in cars = win.
I bought the e-moped instead (Vespa looking type) no registration in Canada at 500w (Disconnect the limiter) now its like a 750w. They have lock steering with alarm ,weight 200 lbs and hard to steal so you do not have to lock it to a post ever single stop, plus it can carry a lot of stuff without a wearing backpack all the time. And the wide soft seat does not try to impregnate you. Mind does 50 km range on a charge and it goes as fast as a young person on a 10 speed petaling his guts out. I did buy the optional $700 20ah LifepO4 battery 5 years ago . Im buying the 30ah next time then im good for 70km. I love mine.
Nice. I just bought my first road bike yesterday, and I'm going to put in a motor for my commute. Today, i noticed my average speed was faster than the legal maximum of 25 km/h. Still, someone decided to put the university on a big fuckin hill, so it's going to be of great use to me.
@@Michael-jl8gj Being able to get up the hill may not be the only reason for using a motor. To rehash an old adage, when commuting without one "you don't get any less sweaty, you just go faster".
Don't agree with changing route on commute for the sake off.. If you do the same route, you know the danger spots. You sense when there is something not the same. This is really important when your mind is elsewhere while riding, and something happens, you sense danger before you figure out what's wrong
I use my eBike for a 5km each way commute as often as I can. I would have mentioned taking the Speedo faceplate off when locking the bike, my Electra is more practical with mudguards, inbuilt lights & pannier rack.
Love GCN and all the videos. But if you're talking commuting and especially e-bikes you should include talking about bike to work schemes (certainly in UK) and tax breaks, etc. to make it more affordable. I bought an ebike to do my 17 mile commute through lovely (but hilly) countryside, then lockdown happened. I've had to fake commute around the Peak District since March, but its got me fit and ready if/when I return to the office!
I have 3 ebikes DIY built by me but no job to commute to lol. I road to work for a lot of years on a normal bike though. The biggest problems with bikes or ebikes are 1 security 2 rain 3 other road users All three are manageable with some preparation and care and it's well worth it. If I find work I will be going by ebike.
Lots of new e-bike riders who ride they way they learned to drive- barely safe and counting on others to watch out for them. How about: 1. On an e-bike, you are going faster than a regular cyclist usually, and when you are driving a car it is hard to gauge speed and distance of a cyclist. So watch for a driver pulling out in front of you, thinking they have plenty of time. 2. Take out the ear buds. It is illegal in most states (not sure internationally) to ride with headphones on, it takes away your ability to hear cars. ("what about electric cars"? if you listen, you will hear them) Oh and the louder a car is, the quicker it is moving or accelerating, and the more you need to be paying attention. 3. When overtaking, pass on the left and let the person know you are passing with bell or voice. You super win when you pass someone at velocity, but just let a body know, ok? Sure sucks to take someone by surprise who was just about to turn... into you! 4. Helmets don't equal safety, situational awareness and the expectation that someone driving is not going to be looking for you can go a lot farther than putting a helmet on and thinking you are now safe. Helmets don't protect against neck injuries. Helmets don't stop traumatic brain injury. Learn to ride attentively and keep your helmet from impacting the pavement. New riders will get more personal protection from a good pair of gloves (you will usually fall and stick your hand out to stop you). Sure, wear a helmet too. 5. bright clothing is great! lights and reflectors! yes! what happens when you are relying on your visibility instead of making eye contact? Is someone texting while driving again? Well it doesn't matter how visible you are when someone driving isn't looking at you. Good luck. Riding is levitation of the spirit, and even an e-bike is exercise. Driving in cars makes you fat and lazy, and changes how you perceive the environment and other human beings. Get good at riding and be a better person.
The first actually useful comment on here. Nice. A lot of very unexperienced (if any experience at all) riders hop on e-bikes nowadays. Safe cycling in itself is not an easy task but I find those people are a constant threat to themselves and their environment unfortunately. Too fast, too hard on the brakes, no signaling, no communication, nothing BUT constantly driving at 15mph everywhere, surprising other cyclists on busy roads.. Bonus points for headphones on both sides, or even noise cancelling over ear headphones, dark clothing and no helmet. Please don't be that e-biker. Thank you.
in my area the only ebikes allowed are pedelecs and those e bikes limits at 25km/hr. most of the pathways where i live has that 20km/hr speed limit but trust me some of these cyclist with fancy roadbikes ( not ebikes) go 40 to 50 km/hr. so i wouldnt blame ebikers, just a bunch of cyclist who doesnt follow rules.
@@TheExplodingCore Too hard on the brakes again, what if these brakes just give in? What if they don't get out of the way? What if there's someone overtaking? I'm going out for a little ride, could be the last time you see me alive. l-0vee1lU9w
What has GCN done to me? I don't own an E-Bike. I currently have no plans on getting an E-Bike. I work from home so I don't commute by bike. Yet, here I am learning all sorts of things about commuting on an E-Bike.
I've been commuting with a S-Pedelec for a while now, it's pretty pleasant! I just hope that the battery will last more than an year... Luckily we have a safe parking and also showers at work, otherwise I would probably not do it.
I own an e-bike for commuting, an Orbea Gain F30, and I mostly use it as a classic bike... But if it’s needed, I know I will have some help. It makes quite a good training.
Great video 👍👍 all tips are spot on.i sometimes cruise in using max power. So I’m not sweaty. Then drop the power on way home for maximum workout as I’m going home for shower and cuppa. The Ebike has paid for itself within the year as no parking / bus / commuting fees. Also take charger to work and grab a cheeky charge at the office 👍👍
Why such an impractical bike? The chain on this bike eats all good trousers, storage area on this thing is a bare minimum, it is too expensive to be locked up somewhere in an urban environment, it doesn´t even have side reflectors ... I could go on and on.
Great video. With bike sales going through the roof since March there’s so many new cyclists out there - and with the huge uptake of e - bikes, there’s going to be questions these new cyclists need answered - The vid did that. Ok , for the Gabba wannabe fanboys it may not be that entertaining. Remember ... you were once a novice too
I use my ebike to collect cans for a living. and it works great to zip around from bin to bin. but hauling them on my back basket and the backpack has been quite a challenge. I will definitely buy a cargo trailer hitch when i get some more money!
The cost can be prohibitive but if you live in the UK and your workplace is in one of the cycle to work schemes you can get quite a lot off the price, and payments are spread out. The scheme is flawed in that those paying higher rate tax get more of a discount but if you can take advantage of it I'd recommend looking into it.
I commute on my e bike exactly the same way I did on my normal bike except quicker lol. Was it a slow news day that made you think the community needed this video 🤣
Not sure why he needed to stand up to peddle on that hill! I started commuting by eBike a couple of months ago on a cheaper (NCM Milano) AUD$1700 (about £950) eBike. It can tackle steep hills without any problems. There's absolutely no need for cycling kit. I've been riding to work mid-winter in jeans and a puffer jacket and get nowhere near working up a sweat. It's less effort than walking!
Agree regarding affordability. My e-bike cost about the same as yours (including an upgrade from a 10Ah battery to a 16Ah. I also found that if you put in a little more effort, you can extend the range of the batter to way more than indicated by the manufacturer - I've got over 130km on a single charge (and over 1,800m elevation gain) when the manufacturer indicated a range of 30km - 80km.
I have a short commute, 2 miles, but not wanting to arrive to work sweaty on the hot summer days, I got an eBike. Love it. My car sits for days at a time now. So sad that it's not possible for everyone, due to the car-centric road designs in most of the USA. :-(
@@deabreu.tattoo most e bikes will do 40+miles with pedal assist, which is a considerable distance. Many delivery drivers find that adequate for a shift.
The main 'tip' you missed is to make sure your commute is recorded as an E-bike ride on Strava. Don't want to be taking away any koms. I have to manually change it each time - my garmin doesn't have an ebike mode.
Just so you know I'm a pensioner a retired Boilermaker and yet I still watched a how to video about using an E bike to commute to work and I don't even have a job unless you count teaching yoga a job.
I used to be a lollipop child. As were my children. Kids in NZ still do school patrol with lollipops to block the traffic at zebra crossings by the school
Does it make any sense to get a roadie/gravel e-bike? They are limited to 25km/h so what speed benefits will you get? Unless you have a lot of climbs then you can get a cheaper hybrid e-bike for much less than such expensive bikes.
Depends really, if your commute 5 days a week is really long or hilly and you want to save your legs for the weekend epic it might be worthwhile. But there's lots of people who enjoy cycling but aren't "serious" roadies watching GCN. This is a video for helping us get on the bike more!
I bought a Cannondale Topstone gravel ebike which is a very similar spec and price to the Canyon. Both great bikes using the Bosch cx motor. Biggest reasons for me buying were, comfort, hill climbing and keeping up with my faster mates. I’m 62 and don’t think I want to be pushing my max heart rate by climbing some steep but short 14% climbs around here. Riding with my younger friends I don’t get dropped on the climbs and I can still keep up with them at higher speeds on the flats. I now have to work harder on the shallow gradients at faster speeds, however this is much better than my friends waiting for minutes at the top of the big hills. These bikes are super comfortable with big tyres, upright riding position and a bit of frame flex. You still need to work on an ebike, it’s never a free ride, you get back what you put in. The alchemy of the electronics of the Bosch motor are amazing, you are always pressing the pedals, you just find yourself going faster. You have to try one to understand it, but they’re great bikes, especially for older guys like me. I’m getting 100 miles per charge riding undulating terrain which is mighty impressive.
Get a tile or that apple tracker, there's also bike insurance so if it's stolen you can afford to get a new one. The bike lock in the video, sold by kryptonite, is also generally considered the best bike lock you can buy. Also, don't leave the battery on the bike when you lock it somewhere. I ride a Juiced Scrambler to and from work about 25% of the time, ~15 miles one way.
Aren't these limited to 15.5mph? My commute is about 12 miles each way and I generally average at least 20mph on the flat sections and 16-17mph overall. I could see the benifit to using a road ebike on my easier training days, especially to make the hills easier for recovery. However I also would not wish to compromise on my average speed (for time reasons). Is there a solution here?
As far as we're aware, the speed restrictions vary from country to country. You can still pedal the bike above the cut off point - and on a flat section of road, it's actually easier than you'd think!
I know there is something called “Jobrad” in Germany, where you can easily afford an expensive bike with the help of the company. Sure, it’s not for everyone, but the positives outweighs the negatives. Is there something similar in the UK or other European countries?
0.0x €/km you ride to work. Tax advantage for companies having plans promoting commuting by bike, which they can (don't have to) pass through to the worker. Mostly this transform in a lease plan for a bike where the employers give a discount on the monthly fee.
Belgium Sounds similar to the one in Germany. At the end of the day, if you have a company thats supports it, you can get an expensive bike and not worry about it getting it stolen, since theft is covered by insurance. I was just wondering if there isnt such system in the UK, since most are complaining about how expensive the bikes are GCN uses to explain commuting
For a bike you use every now and hen don't leave it connected to the charger all of the time. Yes. Although any modern bike or equipment will properly disconnect the charger when it's full. Just don't leave the bike in 'standby' all the time. For commuting, the bike is used daily, so it needs to be charged daily. Overnight is fine
It's depending on your commute and your battery capacity; you only need to have your bike charged enough for your commute. And don't forget that you can also use an ebike without electric assistance on.
@@marcb1289 my s-pedelec is unusable without power. I have to work like crazy to get it to 20kph with the engine off. But that's a crazy heavy beast :). I use anywhere between 40% and 60% to get to work, so I have to charge there to get back home. It's recommended (by the manufacturer, dealer, and basic understanding of modern batteries, for my bike at least) that it's better to do more charge cycles when the battery isn't completely drained. In other words, charging a bit twice a day is better than charging a big chunk once a day. Most bikes also deliver more assistance and power when the battery is fuller, so charging at work and at home always gives me full speed. There are people with the same battery already 4 years old and riding it daily (close to 2000 charge cycles), and it's still at >90% original capacity. Don't leave the bike in standby-mode at the charger for weeks without being used ,and don't let the battery come close to completely-empty, and it can live a long nice time.
Li-ion batteries have the longest life expectancy at 80% of full charge. Anticipate when you will leave home and put the charger on a timer so it is at 100% for the shortest time. My Yamaha battery is £700 to replace so this is not a small issue!
Whatever you do dont lock your ebike outside regardless of what lock you have there are way too many folk in the world with sticky fingers that like to touch things that don't belong to them. They will take it by whatever means so unless you can afford to buy another one or don't mind paying the excess on cycle insurance just dont lock it up outside. Until then look forward to selling you a e bike
In an ideal world we would all be cycling but the UK is years behind. I live between the Welsh Valleys and the Brecon Beacons, the only decent road in my vicinity (Heads of the Valleys Road) prohibits cyclists so we are consigned to using narrow roads full of deep pot holes and cars/vans that consider cyclists target practice. I wrote to the First Minister, all I had was a load of BS about Cardiff's 'amazing' cycle network. I've never even been to Cardiff nor have any wish to do so.
Sure, if you get an enthusiast bike like that Grail. If you buy, say, a RadRunner for $1,300 it would pay for itself in a year on many commutes. In some urban areas, the parking fees alone are more than that.
There are many awesome e bikes for well under 1400 and there's a healthy used market for them too. It will pay for it self in a very short time for those living in the city. My carrera subway e was only £600 used and has been awesome.
This bike was really easy to assemble ruclips.net/user/postUgkxMesz3KOGEmwmvyKQfLfrRSUXLFzfVHZA and required very few adjustments out of the box. The wheels did not require any truing/adjustments. The frame had some small scratches, but nothing major.I did replace the seat though - the seat it came with was very uncomfortable. The tires need to be re-inflated every 4-5 days, but this appears to be quite common for the narrow 700x25 tires.Overall, in my opinion, this bike looks and rides like a much more expensive bike.
I really don't get all the hate for ebikes in the comments here...if you don't like the idea of them, don't buy one! No one's going to take your swish Orbea off you.
Haters b like..... I'm a bike purist and I don't know how many times I've been overtaken or drafted by one of these scooters on the flats only for them to absolutely choke on any sort of incline..... And they're ugly AF
@@elevenc8131 I actually find I pass on the hills and get dropped on the flats because the motor is limited to 25km/hr. But I'm not in it to go fast so that's fine with me.
If you don't have a good idea for the video, maybe...don't make one? I mean these were really unnecessary tips, nothing that a normal Joe couldn't think of.
You would think, but actually no. The cost of electricity for these things is the same as turning on a few lightbulbs for the duration that you are riding them. They are totally negligible in comparison with the cost of the bike and not noticeable on your electric bill.
@@tonyk8368 just as with cars, factor in everything from the cost to get on, to saving to replace it in a few years and maintenance in between. The charging cost does factor in. Yes it's small, but it's something you can easily calculate. My charger is around 250watt and takes close to 5 hours to do a full charge. Enough to take into the full calculation.
@@jorismak Yeah, but okay, let's say you have a 250 Watt Bosch ebike. If you ride that thing on turbo mode, which does 80% of the work, for 2 hours per day, and your electricity cost is $0.11/kWh, then you have .25 kW * .8 * 2 hours * $0.11/kWh = $.044 per day or $1.36/month. This is compared to an ebike that probably costs $2000-$9000.
@@tonyk8368 electricity is like 0.27 USD / kWh over here, and the wattage of the motor has very little to do with the wattage you have to charge... But your point still stands, it's VERY little compared to cost of purchase.
It averages about 20 cents of electricity per 100kms here. Even compared to bus fares, it's negligible. Edit: and the theft and accident insurance I have on the bike costs a bit less per week than one day's bus fare to my workplace.
I've always wanted a normal bike but I don't have money,,,I've never had a bike in my life yet I want one so bad,,, I love adventures and I've always imagined having one of the bikes GCN has,,, can someone donate one,, because bikes here are very expensive, and help me reach my dream

No secure storage, and when offices open again in 2021 it still is only 6 or 7 mile commute, so no ebike.

A couple of things I've not seen mentioned: 1. if you're wearing normal trousers on the bike, pant clips are helpful. 2. if your shoes have long laces, you might want to tuck the excess into your shoes to keep them out of the chainring.
I've got wide reflective elasticated bands that secure with velcro. Thin clips sometimes allow your pants to bag around them and catch on chains.

I'm still on a normal hybrid bike but will go electric in the foreseeable future.
I have two motorbike mirrors on my handlebars so I can always clearly see what's coming up behind me from a long distance without having to look behind. When I am changing my position or lane I still will look behind to emphasise my communication with the vehicle behind.
I always have a daytime flashing front light and a good headlight for the dark.
Now on the back I am using a little Macgyverism of my own.
I have a 70cm length of 12mm (½ inch) light and flexible water pipe the same width as my handlebars attached to the back of my carrier rack with two pipe clips.
On either side I have a bright flashing 150 lumens tail light. This makes my bicycle look wider to traffic from behind day or night and encourages them to pass with a wider berth.
On the dull winter days and nights when in traffic I also use two really good separate right and left Bluetooth indicators to further emphasise my intentions when in traffic along with clear hand signals and glancing behind. They work great.
It doesn't matter how right I may be, if there's any misunderstanding of my intentions with a 40 tonne truck right behind me, there's only going to be one loser. And it won't be the truck.😢
The pipe is attached by two pipe clips which can be loosened with a few turns of a 7mm spanner and slid around on the carrier rack to lie flush along the side of the bike out of the way in half a minute.
I always wear a bright orange hi-vis vest and a helmet.
And I have racks front and back for baskets, crates and a variety of panniers for every occasion. Plus a couple of trailers for all kinds of really heavy or bulky cargo but that's a whole other story!
Many will say it's overdoing it but because there is virtually no safe or adequate cycle lanes or paths, I'm another smaller slower vehicle on the road amongst other traffic with the same rights to be there but also with the same responsibilities.
That's what I'm doing and I believe it helps keep me safer.
Safe cycling everyone.
Ebikes are brilliant, and will act as a gateway drug to many buying themselves a traditional road bike. Brilliant things they are. More people on bikes and less in cars = win.
I bought the e-moped instead (Vespa looking type) no registration in Canada at 500w (Disconnect the limiter) now its like a 750w.
They have lock steering with alarm ,weight 200 lbs and hard to steal so you do not have to lock it to a post ever single stop, plus it can carry a lot of stuff without a wearing backpack all the time.
And the wide soft seat does not try to impregnate you.
Mind does 50 km range on a charge and it goes as fast as a young person on a 10 speed petaling his guts out.
I did buy the optional $700 20ah LifepO4 battery 5 years ago . Im buying the 30ah next time then im good for 70km.
I love mine.
Can you do a video on what it is you do working at GCN? We only see the video component and understand that requires preparation, but what else?
Nice. I just bought my first road bike yesterday, and I'm going to put in a motor for my commute.
Today, i noticed my average speed was faster than the legal maximum of 25 km/h. Still, someone decided to put the university on a big fuckin hill, so it's going to be of great use to me.
Give it a month, you'll see massive improvements in the first weeks of cycling, maybe you won't need a motor after all.
You are the motor, invest in your fitness instead, you already made a good start by buying a bike...
@@Michael-jl8gj Being able to get up the hill may not be the only reason for using a motor. To rehash an old adage, when commuting without one "you don't get any less sweaty, you just go faster".
I have had my Ebike for about 3 Weeks, & just Love it!!!! I actually Like riding Hills again.
When you have worked up to spending $5k + on a normal mountain bike a $5k e bike that could get you to work looks super appealing..
Don't agree with changing route on commute for the sake off.. If you do the same route, you know the danger spots. You sense when there is something not the same. This is really important when your mind is elsewhere while riding, and something happens, you sense danger before you figure out what's wrong
Ebike change things as you can beat hills and go faster, so what wass usually dangerous and tiring roads can br used
@@taufikabidin412 I think he was talking about dangers in traffic
I use my eBike for a 5km each way commute as often as I can. I would have mentioned taking the Speedo faceplate off when locking the bike, my Electra is more practical with mudguards, inbuilt lights & pannier rack.
@EddieJ gaming 5km is close but the eBike means I can wear normal work clothes & shoes, not as sweaty up steep hills etc 😉
Love GCN and all the videos. But if you're talking commuting and especially e-bikes you should include talking about bike to work schemes (certainly in UK) and tax breaks, etc. to make it more affordable. I bought an ebike to do my 17 mile commute through lovely (but hilly) countryside, then lockdown happened. I've had to fake commute around the Peak District since March, but its got me fit and ready if/when I return to the office!
I have 3 ebikes DIY built by me but no job to commute to lol.
I road to work for a lot of years on a normal bike though.
The biggest problems with bikes or ebikes are
1 security
2 rain
3 other road users
All three are manageable with some preparation and care and it's well worth it.
If I find work I will be going by ebike.
Can I DIY my own bike electric?
@kazuya26xxxbheem63 yes, you can buy electric bicycle conversion kits.
Lots of new e-bike riders who ride they way they learned to drive- barely safe and counting on others to watch out for them. How about:
1. On an e-bike, you are going faster than a regular cyclist usually, and when you are driving a car it is hard to gauge speed and distance of a cyclist. So watch for a driver pulling out in front of you, thinking they have plenty of time.
2. Take out the ear buds. It is illegal in most states (not sure internationally) to ride with headphones on, it takes away your ability to hear cars. ("what about electric cars"? if you listen, you will hear them) Oh and the louder a car is, the quicker it is moving or accelerating, and the more you need to be paying attention.
3. When overtaking, pass on the left and let the person know you are passing with bell or voice. You super win when you pass someone at velocity, but just let a body know, ok? Sure sucks to take someone by surprise who was just about to turn... into you!
4. Helmets don't equal safety, situational awareness and the expectation that someone driving is not going to be looking for you can go a lot farther than putting a helmet on and thinking you are now safe. Helmets don't protect against neck injuries. Helmets don't stop traumatic brain injury. Learn to ride attentively and keep your helmet from impacting the pavement. New riders will get more personal protection from a good pair of gloves (you will usually fall and stick your hand out to stop you). Sure, wear a helmet too.
5. bright clothing is great! lights and reflectors! yes! what happens when you are relying on your visibility instead of making eye contact? Is someone texting while driving again? Well it doesn't matter how visible you are when someone driving isn't looking at you.
Good luck. Riding is levitation of the spirit, and even an e-bike is exercise. Driving in cars makes you fat and lazy, and changes how you perceive the environment and other human beings. Get good at riding and be a better person.
The first actually useful comment on here. Nice.
A lot of very unexperienced (if any experience at all) riders hop on e-bikes nowadays. Safe cycling in itself is not an easy task but I find those people are a constant threat to themselves and their environment unfortunately. Too fast, too hard on the brakes, no signaling, no communication, nothing BUT constantly driving at 15mph everywhere, surprising other cyclists on busy roads.. Bonus points for headphones on both sides, or even noise cancelling over ear headphones, dark clothing and no helmet. Please don't be that e-biker. Thank you.
I read that the leading cause of road deaths for males over 50 in the Netherlands is ebike crashes
in my area the only ebikes allowed are pedelecs and those e bikes limits at 25km/hr. most of the pathways where i live has that 20km/hr speed limit but trust me some of these cyclist with fancy roadbikes ( not ebikes) go 40 to 50 km/hr. so i wouldnt blame ebikers, just a bunch of cyclist who doesnt follow rules.
@@TheExplodingCore Too hard on the brakes again, what if these brakes just give in? What if they don't get out of the way? What if there's someone overtaking? I'm going out for a little ride, could be the last time you see me alive. l-0vee1lU9w
What has GCN done to me? I don't own an E-Bike. I currently have no plans on getting an E-Bike. I work from home so I don't commute by bike. Yet, here I am learning all sorts of things about commuting on an E-Bike.
Tell the truth, you were waiting to see if Hank would crash amusingly again.
@@katiel7166 Or to see what his next challenge would be. Maybe he could race his dad again but this time his dad gets a scooter.
I've been commuting with a S-Pedelec for a while now, it's pretty pleasant! I just hope that the battery will last more than an year... Luckily we have a safe parking and also showers at work, otherwise I would probably not do it.
Which S-pedelec do you ride? I'm riding a regular ebike but find the 15.5mph assistance limit too low for my 100km round trip commute
@@AndrewEbling Stromer ST3. It’s a 45km/h.
I own an e-bike for commuting, an Orbea Gain F30, and I mostly use it as a classic bike... But if it’s needed, I know I will have some help. It makes quite a good training.
Great video 👍👍 all tips are spot on.i sometimes cruise in using max power. So I’m not sweaty. Then drop the power on way home for maximum workout as I’m going home for shower and cuppa. The Ebike has paid for itself within the year as no parking / bus / commuting fees. Also take charger to work and grab a cheeky charge at the office 👍👍
Why such an impractical bike? The chain on this bike eats all good trousers, storage area on this thing is a bare minimum, it is too expensive to be locked up somewhere in an urban environment, it doesn´t even have side reflectors ... I could go on and on.
Use what ever bike you want
Great video. With bike sales going through the roof since March there’s so many new cyclists out there - and with the huge uptake of e - bikes, there’s going to be questions these new cyclists need answered - The vid did that. Ok , for the Gabba wannabe fanboys it may not be that entertaining. Remember ... you were once a novice too
I use my ebike to collect cans for a living. and it works great to zip around from bin to bin. but hauling them on my back basket and the backpack has been quite a challenge. I will definitely buy a cargo trailer hitch when i get some more money!
The cost can be prohibitive but if you live in the UK and your workplace is in one of the cycle to work schemes you can get quite a lot off the price, and payments are spread out. The scheme is flawed in that those paying higher rate tax get more of a discount but if you can take advantage of it I'd recommend looking into it.
My ebike cost around £700 and it works great. This type of bike is a premium ebike. Not something I would go for personally.
Yes wanting one for fun commute and adventure.
I commute on my e bike exactly the same way I did on my normal bike except quicker lol. Was it a slow news day that made you think the community needed this video 🤣
Not sure why he needed to stand up to peddle on that hill! I started commuting by eBike a couple of months ago on a cheaper (NCM Milano) AUD$1700 (about £950) eBike. It can tackle steep hills without any problems.
There's absolutely no need for cycling kit. I've been riding to work mid-winter in jeans and a puffer jacket and get nowhere near working up a sweat. It's less effort than walking!
Agree regarding affordability. My e-bike cost about the same as yours (including an upgrade from a 10Ah battery to a 16Ah. I also found that if you put in a little more effort, you can extend the range of the batter to way more than indicated by the manufacturer - I've got over 130km on a single charge (and over 1,800m elevation gain) when the manufacturer indicated a range of 30km - 80km.
I have a short commute, 2 miles, but not wanting to arrive to work sweaty on the hot summer days, I got an eBike. Love it. My car sits for days at a time now.
So sad that it's not possible for everyone, due to the car-centric road designs in most of the USA. :-(
Cycling to work can save you money. First, buy an ebike worth a reasonably priced used car.
...and then, leave it locked up on the street. And THEN... buy another one.

I’m thinking about buying an E-bike for commuting to work and keeping my fixed gear for my days off.
The main 'tip' you missed is to make sure your commute is recorded as an E-bike ride on Strava. Don't want to be taking away any koms. I have to manually change it each time - my garmin doesn't have an ebike mode.
Just so you know I'm a pensioner a retired Boilermaker and yet I still watched a how to video about using an E bike to commute to work and I don't even have a job unless you count teaching yoga a job.
Teaching yoga certainly counts in our book!

"there is no way of loosing battery", the lithium ion battery crying after getting 800 charge cycles and degrading extremely.
Awesome!
it's all the good things about commuting on a motorbike combined with all the good things about commuting on a bicycle
Does it make any sense to get a roadie/gravel e-bike? They are limited to 25km/h so what speed benefits will you get? Unless you have a lot of climbs then you can get a cheaper hybrid e-bike for much less than such expensive bikes.
CGN has never been about reasonable budgets, unfortunately
Depends really, if your commute 5 days a week is really long or hilly and you want to save your legs for the weekend epic it might be worthwhile.
But there's lots of people who enjoy cycling but aren't "serious" roadies watching GCN. This is a video for helping us get on the bike more!
Maybe for now, but California ebike law changes many things and we will see more powerfuk ebikes in the future.
I bought a Cannondale Topstone gravel ebike which is a very similar spec and price to the Canyon. Both great bikes using the Bosch cx motor. Biggest reasons for me buying were, comfort, hill climbing and keeping up with my faster mates. I’m 62 and don’t think I want to be pushing my max heart rate by climbing some steep but short 14% climbs around here. Riding with my younger friends I don’t get dropped on the climbs and I can still keep up with them at higher speeds on the flats. I now have to work harder on the shallow gradients at faster speeds, however this is much better than my friends waiting for minutes at the top of the big hills. These bikes are super comfortable with big tyres, upright riding position and a bit of frame flex. You still need to work on an ebike, it’s never a free ride, you get back what you put in. The alchemy of the electronics of the Bosch motor are amazing, you are always pressing the pedals, you just find yourself going faster. You have to try one to understand it, but they’re great bikes, especially for older guys like me. I’m getting 100 miles per charge riding undulating terrain which is mighty impressive.
Epic bike
Just don’t quit 2/3 of the way there like Egan Bernal and you’ll do fine
Hello, nice video. I 'm not sure we can say it's cheaper to commute by bike...a nice lightweight e-bike is expensive...isn't' it?

I want to sell my car and get an e-bike, but I'm quite worried about it being stolen, as I live in a big city. Any tips for minimizing the risk?
Get a tile or that apple tracker, there's also bike insurance so if it's stolen you can afford to get a new one. The bike lock in the video, sold by kryptonite, is also generally considered the best bike lock you can buy. Also, don't leave the battery on the bike when you lock it somewhere.
I ride a Juiced Scrambler to and from work about 25% of the time, ~15 miles one way.
James letting his inner triathlete shine. Nice socks.
This is almost as good as the video about how to put your bike in a car
Aren't these limited to 15.5mph? My commute is about 12 miles each way and I generally average at least 20mph on the flat sections and 16-17mph overall. I could see the benifit to using a road ebike on my easier training days, especially to make the hills easier for recovery. However I also would not wish to compromise on my average speed (for time reasons). Is there a solution here?
As far as we're aware, the speed restrictions vary from country to country. You can still pedal the bike above the cut off point - and on a flat section of road, it's actually easier than you'd think!
I drove an ebike up to 40 kph or about 25 mph on mostly flat terrain.
I know there is something called “Jobrad” in Germany, where you can easily afford an expensive bike with the help of the company. Sure, it’s not for everyone, but the positives outweighs the negatives.
Is there something similar in the UK or other European countries?
0.0x €/km you ride to work. Tax advantage for companies having plans promoting commuting by bike, which they can (don't have to) pass through to the worker. Mostly this transform in a lease plan for a bike where the employers give a discount on the monthly fee.
In Belgium
Belgium Sounds similar to the one in Germany. At the end of the day, if you have a company thats supports it, you can get an expensive bike and not worry about it getting it stolen, since theft is covered by insurance.
I was just wondering if there isnt such system in the UK, since most are complaining about how expensive the bikes are GCN uses to explain commuting

Hey something about 3willers and tricks
What size test bike was this and whats the riders height please?
Hunk please watch your counter colleagues over at electric MTB Network, They recommend you to not leave charging your battery overnight.
For a bike you use every now and hen don't leave it connected to the charger all of the time. Yes. Although any modern bike or equipment will properly disconnect the charger when it's full. Just don't leave the bike in 'standby' all the time.
For commuting, the bike is used daily, so it needs to be charged daily. Overnight is fine
It's depending on your commute and your battery capacity; you only need to have your bike charged enough for your commute. And don't forget that you can also use an ebike without electric assistance on.
@@marcb1289 my s-pedelec is unusable without power. I have to work like crazy to get it to 20kph with the engine off. But that's a crazy heavy beast :).
I use anywhere between 40% and 60% to get to work, so I have to charge there to get back home. It's recommended (by the manufacturer, dealer, and basic understanding of modern batteries, for my bike at least) that it's better to do more charge cycles when the battery isn't completely drained. In other words, charging a bit twice a day is better than charging a big chunk once a day. Most bikes also deliver more assistance and power when the battery is fuller, so charging at work and at home always gives me full speed.
There are people with the same battery already 4 years old and riding it daily (close to 2000 charge cycles), and it's still at >90% original capacity.
Don't leave the bike in standby-mode at the charger for weeks without being used ,and don't let the battery come close to completely-empty, and it can live a long nice time.
Top tip, get a second charger to keep at work to recharge before going home
if only the weather here in Philippines is the same as yours probably i will build my ebike.
What watch are you wearing Hank? Looks good.
Most bike batteries will charge over two to four hours so if you leave it charging longer overnight the battery will degrade
Li-ion batteries have the longest life expectancy at 80% of full charge. Anticipate when you will leave home and put the charger on a timer so it is at 100% for the shortest time.
My Yamaha battery is £700 to replace so this is not a small issue!
@@mozzer999 well worth the timer

Whatever you do dont lock your ebike outside regardless of what lock you have there are way too many folk in the world with sticky fingers that like to touch things that don't belong to them. They will take it by whatever means so unless you can afford to buy another one or don't mind paying the excess on cycle insurance just dont lock it up outside.

Sure, if you get an enthusiast bike like that Grail. If you buy, say, a RadRunner for $1,300 it would pay for itself in a year on many commutes. In some urban areas, the parking fees alone are more than that.
Mine paid itself in 13 months

Hi who makes the pods on the handle bars ?
You’d never forget to charge your battery would you, Hank?
Is it just me or the shirt looks so cool. How much is that
This bike was really easy to assemble ruclips.net/user/postUgkxMesz3KOGEmwmvyKQfLfrRSUXLFzfVHZA and required very few adjustments out of the box. The wheels did not require any truing/adjustments. The frame had some small scratches, but nothing major.I did replace the seat though - the seat it came with was very uncomfortable. The tires need to be re-inflated every 4-5 days, but this appears to be quite common for the narrow 700x25 tires.Overall, in my opinion, this bike looks and rides like a much more expensive bike.

Great 👍 another advert 👏
It's just like with electric cars, you have to factor in the cost of electricity for charging the battery all the time.
You would think, but actually no. The cost of electricity for these things is the same as turning on a few lightbulbs for the duration that you are riding them. They are totally negligible in comparison with the cost of the bike and not noticeable on your electric bill.
@@tonyk8368 just as with cars, factor in everything from the cost to get on, to saving to replace it in a few years and maintenance in between. The charging cost does factor in. Yes it's small, but it's something you can easily calculate. My charger is around 250watt and takes close to 5 hours to do a full charge. Enough to take into the full calculation.
@@jorismak Yeah, but okay, let's say you have a 250 Watt Bosch ebike. If you ride that thing on turbo mode, which does 80% of the work, for 2 hours per day, and your electricity cost is $0.11/kWh, then you have .25 kW * .8 * 2 hours * $0.11/kWh = $.044 per day or $1.36/month. This is compared to an ebike that probably costs $2000-$9000.
@@tonyk8368 electricity is like 0.27 USD / kWh over here, and the wattage of the motor has very little to do with the wattage you have to charge... But your point still stands, it's VERY little compared to cost of purchase.
It averages about 20 cents of electricity per 100kms here. Even compared to bus fares, it's negligible. Edit: and the theft and accident insurance I have on the bike costs a bit less per week than one day's bus fare to my workplace.
