Dance moves and ebike cargo riding the snow! Simply awesome!
I click the like just for the dance moves
Wild Style!!
you know you could always buy heated large socks for the battery LOL
Nice video. Keep dancing
thanks
I’m looking for a lightweight transparent cover for enclosed winter riding. Guess I’ll just have to make one.
Update…just bought the Bub-up rain bubble. Worn like a backpack and fastened to the handlebars…lightweight, ingenious, under $150, carry it with you and assembles in seconds. So cool!!
I ordered some bar mitts too.
again with those dance moves. dude. hang up all your other projects and pursue that dance career.
What about ice melting salt, would that damage the bike long terms?
I’m impressed you don’t appear to have the coordination to dance with the music this song sounds like another one bites the dust, good song good detailed description of add-ons for winterizing your bag thank you again you do awesome videos
Was there a bet that you couldn't get dressed and undressed while filming the video?
So you basically have to have a bike shop in your house to ride a bike in the winter?
I look forward to you sending me the bike!!!!!
Electrek, Electric Bike Review, Blue Monkey Bicycles, seems like you have the ebike channels locked down. 👍
Tryna diversify my bonds
You can make a scarf for the battery with Velcro at the end to cover the ends for extra warmth. Excellent video!
Your stripper name is Magic Bike 🚲🔥
🤣 🤣 🤣
Lmao
Studded tires are pretty amazing for winter riding. I feel much safer and more in control on my bike with winter tires than I do in my car with "normal" tires, especially on the really icy roads.
Could have done without the weird dressing / undressing during the whole video.
I’m in the market for an E bike to replace my winter bike and it’s kind of been a letdown to see that all the major companies do not include water damage in their warranties. How am I supposed to rely on a machine that the manufacturer won’t even stand behind for one year? Yes, rain and snow and salt causes corrosion, but it’s not like these bikes are made out of sugar, either. If anyone knows of a company whose warranty policy covers water damage, please let me know!
This was really cool thank you
The mitts are funny looking but I am going to get some because with gloves my fingers are in so much pain and when I get home it takes a hour before the pain stops. The fingers get cold when I am ripping 50 kph on my ebike.

Check out electric gloves. I got some gerbing e gloves with a couple back up batteries. They've been decent so far...
🟥
Wish I could find studded tires for my RadMini 4.
Made my own, but keep in mind the salt is very hard on your bike and the derailer will freeze so pick a gear and stick with it, Riding full time my 4th winter near Ottawa Canada. Keep in mind nothing works in brown snow.
I have a Himiway Cruiser. I definitely do NOT recommend it.
First off, you prepay $1500 and then wait over 2 months to get your bike. Mine came without the hardware for the kickstand. Pretty important to have a kickstand on a 75lb bike whenever you don't have help to put it together. They sent me hardware for the kickstand along with extra zip ties and such. I put the kickstand on and go to set my bike up, but the damned thing is like 2-3 inches shorter than it should be. You have to balance your bike to the best of your ability and hope even a gust of wind won't knock it over... I rode a few 5-10 mile trips didn't get it out much so I have like 55-60 miles on it. We got our first actual snow this year (PA) and probably less than a mile, for sure less than 2 the motor just stops... In my instance I dont have any ebike dealers close so online was obviously my best option. Sorry for the long comment, just wanted to share my experience.
Thank you! I'm trying to find a cover that fits my heybike mars battery.
Cool
made my own bar mits out of an old kids swim vest of neoprene 5 $
Love your bike love your advertising Learn lot good inf
Nice bike, I'm definitely investing in handle bar covers.
Looking foward gedding bike your cute mike
Any chance those battery Coast come in a triangle
With regards to your suggestions on flashing headlights: those are dangerous because, while they might increase visibility slightly, they vastly reduce distance perception. This is why flashing bike headlamps are increasingly illegal in many areas, and why they are wisely not supported by most built in ebike lights.
Source?
@@NegrodomausAside from common sense? Look it up yourself, dork!
Edit: He did say "flashing lights" though, not flashing headlights, and he showed rear lights immediately after mentioning that. I think the OP misunderstood what he was suggesting.
Awesome video!!
indeed , bike shops in winter have loads of time for all those extra tweaks on your bike , to show you how too . how and where does one obtain one of them Blue Monkey hats tho .
I got mine made at Badger Screen Printing in Logan Utah. You can call them up and see if they'll make one for you. I don't remember the hat model exactly, but I know it's from New Era and it's a trucker hat.
What size handlebar gloves were you using? Thanks, keep em coming
I believe they are large size
I'm looking
Thanks!!!!!!
my local bike shop straight up told me not ride in the winter lmao (in boston)
I don't know what it's like there, but in SLC I ride in 7ºF ice and snow. Not a problem.
I guess it depends on the weather and amount of ice/snow outside. If the road or bike lanes aren’t cleaned from those properly it will end up with some days where it’s just impossible to ride. In the other hand, it should be alright on ice with studded tires and below the double digits in centimeters of snow

Yea as long as the snow and ice is fairly level, that seems to be the case for me. Unfortunately my city doesn't plow the roads and sidewalks as they should... So I've been pissed off lately.
🟥
As a Canadian I can't believe you put on studded tires and bar mitts for 1cm of snow.
I gotta make these videos ahead of time. I can't wait for the bulk of the snow to hit.
@@mikeyg5159▪️
Yea bc it won't even work in bulk snow...
🟥
'Let's go ahead and proceed'? 'Let's go ahead and continue'... jeez.
can't hold me back
Wow dind know cant ride bike snow
The Aventon Level2 and others in their line have integrated lights on each rear strut and integrated stop light…all wicked bright and they light up when stopping and some models even flashing turn signals. Wicked bright small cool headlight as well:) we love them. Hubby has one. I have their Sinch StepOver:) 🫶🫶
