Well done on completing it - love the challenges you do - always a great watch and a little different - looks like a great route (certainly the bits in the daylight 😀:) Hope you got back to the van ok - have a lovely weekend, all the best, David 👍
Excellent video, thanks! Wow! Who knew the Mirider was so capable😮 i love the idea of bike packing in the Highlands...not sure which bike to get but with a setup like the one you used, the possibilities are endless...Scotland is so beautiful.❤
Definitely convenient and impressive little bike for what it is! I am very much enjoying e-bike packing in the highlands, I have some other Scotland e-bike packing videos with different e-bikes which you can find on the channel.
Worth a try for sure, lifes too boring without trying slightly mad stuff. I've wondered about carrying a power station for on the go charging so thanks for trying that. Ive got the carrera e folder and thats pretty decent and not expensive so might try a similar adventure! All the best 👍
Knew you had made it when you had 9 miles to go and a fresh battery, saddle sore is a pain figuratively and literally, lol, helps if you bike a few miles every day getting ready for the longer bike rides, plus no backpack, strap everything on the back.
Yeah. When I did last battery swap I knew I could run it on maximum assistance to power there quickly. I do imagine it’s a tolerance which you can build up for saddle sore
Thanks for testing this, had my sights on something similar but those hills put me off. And how the Scots don't have a proper bike trail alongside the lake is beyond me, as lakeside won't have many hills.
Don’t be calling our Lochs! A Lake! That would get you in trouble! I imagine others do have cycles paths. Unfortunately not in this case getting past the hills
@fraserthomson5766 not quite in this situation, Loch Lochy is a Anglicisation of the original name which is Loch Lòchaidh. The first loch refers to it as a body of water, the Lochy / Lòchaidh part loosely translates as a colour. A type of dark black or reflective black. However, there are plenty examples like that, like “Glen Dale” in Yorkshire, for example, is Valley Valley.
great test , but too short a range , I will stick with my much cheaper little folder that easy does over 100 miles on one battery without all the extra powerbanks lol , Fiido L3 Long Range Electric Bike , I was tempted with the one you are testing a while back when another van lifer recommended it but the price put me off .
Fun adventure for sure. But it wouldn’t be to fair to compare a MiRider to a Fiido L3 long range on range. The Mirider is made for commuting and has a 252wh battery with a advertised 45mile range on PAS 1, the Fiido L3 is make for long range with over 4 times the battery at 1113Wh and advertised 120mile range on PAS1
Why are you still awake at this time ? lol , yes horses for courses , the MiRider is a much nicer bike , Fiido is much more basic with no gears etc , I enjoyed watching you trip though , take care . @@MispronouncedAdventures 🚲🙂
Well done alex,are you keeping note of how many battery changes you have had and what is the kwph ??? have those bikes got regen braking ?? hows ur bum 😂😂
I think I used about 1700-1900wh in energy in total. Looking at powerbanks used and batteries. No it doesn’t have regen braking. It seems regen is pretty rare in e-bikes at the moment
Brilliant adventure!! Great fun to watch, and I kinda knew you wouldn't stop until you completed your challenge. Well done, great stuff. 👋
Glad you enjoyed! Definitely couldn’t give up!
Keep it up ! Box of frogs springs to mind 😅
I do my best to be

Glad it was enjoyed! I like doing the challenges as well. Cooking up what I’m gonna be doing this winter challenge wise!

@@MispronouncedAdventures thanks 😊
I can't seem to find any, apart from the Engwe m20 video and these two parts?
"Loch Ness, you tit." 😂😂😂
To be fair, they're both big and watery with hilly bits on the side. 🤷♂️😉
No idea why I got it wrong! I knew full well what it was! I was pretty just knackered
@@MispronouncedAdventures That, and there was no telltale monster poking its head out of the water!
Yaaarrrr!!!
Yarrrr!! 🏴☠️

You talking about the same folks who named a lake, "Lake Lakey"?

Sooo sick!!! The last thing I need to add onto my e-bike is solar panels.
Check out my other e-bike adventure on a different ebike. I went with larger power banks and solar panels.
Great two vids thanks!
Do you think the hotel would be OK with a full sized E Mountain Bike taken in the hotel?
They were pretty relaxed, so I think if you could get it in a lift. No problem

Hi, just to say i found this very entertaining please keep up the content, have subscribed. Ps hope the old posterior has recovered 😂
Glad you found the channel and enjoyed it! Plenty more adventures to come! And the bum has repaired itself it did take two or three days

@uptowndisco2 i’m currently in Malaysia leading a trip! It’s 9am
Did you send the Cyrusher back? We have a couple of Kommodas (30kg monsters) it's almost cheating 😂
Mine to keep, I love it. Buts it’s massive and takes up loads of room so I don’t take it on all trip. I’ve had a Mirider in my cupboard since January
11:15 I have a Thudbuster XL seatpost, wouldn't ride without one!
I’ll have to check that out!

doesn't south count as constantly going downhill, even if uphill bc it's down south despite gravity dragging us to the centre
I was right North East the whole route. So did I right hill up the whole time with that logic?
@@MispronouncedAdventuresyup, you should of done this challenge the other way.... or maybe that's another vid for another bike
@AyyRainer would have definitely saved some battery power If it was all downhill.
@@MispronouncedAdventures we'd be seeing you rolling 🎶, wait 👀 no that song wouldn't make sense in this situation
I felt tired watching so no e-bike for me!
I would’ve been a lot more tired/not succeeded if it wasn’t an e-bike for me
great effort!!
Thank you!
