  • Yes, these are e-mountain bikes. The first one is for Johnny, who has helped the channel countless times, and the other is for Curtis to haul equipment with on the next video. Today is mainly a shakedown ride to work out the suspension adjustments and things before going on a real ride on an Ebike-legal trail system.

      Hi, my parents own two haibikes. And on those there are a button with a man walking with a bike. The button is next to the eco, medium and high buttons. I help you when you walk with the bike insted of pushing your pedel with your hand. You need to hold the button in, when you push the bike and then the motor shoud help you a bit.

      I’ve towed my friend up two fire roads.. he’s about 220 lbs with his bike.. I’m about 170 with my e bike..
      1st: 13.1 miles and 3600 ft elevation.
      I ended the day with 1/5 bars of battery.. I think I’d have more battery life if I didn’t tow him up in boost mode climbing up at 13 mph for the last 1.5 miles..
      2nd: 7 miles and 2000ft elevation and ended the day with 3/5 bars of battery..
      Alone I can get about 70 miles in eco mode.. both days were about 80-85f and had no issues with overheated.. we did use the rope and inter tube method to prevent tugging..

    I have been mountain biking for 25+ years. I bought an ebike this spring and have around 700 miles of dirt under it already. It’s the best recreational item I ever bought. The best $6,000’s I ever put a beat down on. I can ride 30 miles of trail today and go right back out tomorrow. It got me back in excellent shape at almost 50. Once again I’m traveling every weekend to the best trail systems I can find and loving it. I haven’t ran into anyone who hasn’t wanted to try out my bike. They’re simply brilliant to ride.

      where those delivery bikes win is endurance on the flat, they often have huge batteries and small 200w ish hub motors. usually 36v at 15Ah, most around my area have 48v at 20Ah or so. those haibikes are 36v 13.6Ah. one delivery guy near me has a totally nuts custom build using battery cell modules from his nissan leaf that got written off. 48v at 100 Ah.. custom wound motors for ~12kw with sadvoton controllers and eBMS..

    One of biggest advantages is that the e-bike can now replace the truck shuttle and you can have more fun doing the ride up and still have a great time on the way down. I also feel that with the weight of the motor and engine down low they are incredably stable and with the power you end up cleaning stuff you would normally stall out on- so.... ride long, further, safer and more often and that can't be bad.

    Moved from Oregon to Germany a couple years ago and the amount of ebikes here is crazy compared to the US. I got one and it makes rides up the big mountains around me more enjoyable. I tend to use it on the lowest assist to get a better workout and save battery. Anyone looking for an ebike you 100% want mid drive motors (like the bikes Seth has).

    Seth, Great video… like always. I used to be an avid mountain bike rider. I rented an e-bike for my 70-year-old father. This way he could ride a harder trail system with me and not die on the trail. He was totally against riding the e-bike at first, but about a few miles down the trail, he wanted one. Both my parents have them now and ride more than ever. E-bikes are a great equalizer for all levels. The fact that e-bikes are getting people outside and riding, is only helping the sport. I ended up renting an e-bike for myself and haven’t been able to get back on a regular mountain bike since (unless I’m at a ski area that won’t allow them just
    People say e-bikes are cheating, I tell them to rent one, ride it without the power on, and tell me you aren’t getting a better workout than any regular mountain bike. You have so many options with e-bikes. You can use them to get in better sharp (without power on), just enjoy riding more (with power on), or maybe you want to cover more terrain is a shorter time (power it up). Either way, you are outside riding. For those of us that used to ride dirt bike (Motorcycles), these e-bike are the answer. The extra weight helps dirt bikers transition quickly into mountain biking. If you take a bad crash, what would you rather have (e-bike or non e-bike) to get you back to your car? These types of bikes are going to be the future. Europe has already embraced e-bikes and the US is behind the curve. Type 1 e-bikes should be allowed everywhere. I would love to see you do more videos on e-bikes. Thanks for doing this one. Love your channel and keep up the great work.

      I ride a rigid SS and love it. I also ride an ebike and love it just as much. If you need gears and suspension might as well also add an engine is my philosophy. The ebikes they are riding are old and heavy, latest models have integrated batteries and carbon frames / up to date geo, which make them lighter and much more agile.

      One of the guys I ride with that I most admire is older than me quite a bit (I'm over 50), and I'm not sure I've ever seen him on a geared bike. Finished the DirtyKanza on a SS at least once. I have one, but it's just for "townie" riding, even if I've taken it on the trails a time or 2.

    You need the 'E' part only for climb. The more you peddal, the more you get assistance from the motor. Check the settings, it might have the levels to set the power for pedal assist.

    Loved seeing some e-bike content - they are the most misunderstood bikes around. They are not just for the unfit or elderly. "I'm going to hang on to my mountain bike a while longer" gives the wrong message. Many celebrated mountain biking athletes have either switched or are using both e-mtb and acoustic!. Keep up the otherwise great content!

    • @Mark-ct8fk
      @Mark-ct8fk 3 года назад

      I think that the perception of ebikes is changing as well which is probably a good thing - the change from hub motors that can be turned on and off to mid drive providing boost probably helps with that. I am unfit, and purchased an ebike to commute to work (~15km odd), and because I'm now remembering why I loved riding as a kid, I've purchased a non electric gravel bike to start doing a bit of road cycling / easy gravel stuff on

    As an ebiker and a fan it was good to see you explore this. Loved the comment that a battery and motor (ebike) doesn't replace bike skills! In my humble opinion, the only way to learn bike skills is by experience. Ebikes without a doubt get ridden harder by most riders as they give so much back, they give more fun and give more experiences.
    It is a shame that they are expensive, but riddle me this, what is more expensive, a mid range MTB worth say US$3,500 that hardly gets ridden or an EMTB worth the same amount of money that burns through chains and cassettes due to the amount of kms (miles) you put on it?
