I’m 60 years old and my whole family watches anime and rides e-scooters, e-bikes, and OneWheels together. The haters have no idea why anime is so good because they’ve never taken the time to watch it, and many of them could learn something from the shows because they teach people to be kind and treat each other with respect. People that judge me based on what I watch on TV are uninformed, and in some cases just mean, and they have no impact on how I go through life. Keep doing what you do brother, and thank you for your wonderful videos and interesting commentary!
thanks for joining us for this ride and welcome to the channel! Oh man, you're living the dream! I'm so happy that you can share the joys of anime and PEVs with your family. I 10000000% agree with what you said there. Some of my fondest memories growing up revolve around an emotional moment where I learned a valuable life lesson because of an anime I was watching. I'm glad you enjoyed the video and I appreciate your kind words! Enjoy your stay on the channel and don't hesitate to leave your thoughts on the comments section. The channel is still quite small so I can get back to every comment!
thanks for joining us on this ride and welcome back to the comments section! I'm pretty relieved that most people are liking the new format of the long rides and me opening up about myself a bit more. I'm not one to really talk about myself so I was a bit worried that the stories I shared would turn people away. At the end of the day, I was proud of the video I made so I just posted it anyway! I appreciate your support!
I watched this with a huge smile on my face, as I also spent the last week convalescing from a flu…and also binge watched anime like a fiend!!. Blue Eye Samurai and Invincible were my treats. Glad you’re feeling better and as always thanks for the videos. Ride safe my dude!!🤘🏽
thanks for joining us on this ride! There must be something going around because I keep hearing/ reading that folks are recovering from some flu. That's dope! I heard great things about Blue Eye Samurai from a client of mine. She told me about it last month and its been on my to watch list. I finished season 1 of Invincible on my last vacation and I'm just waiting for Season 2 to finish. Season 1 was pretty insane lol
thanks for joining us for this ride! Sorry for the wait, we just gotta cycle through the different PEVs. Once I start making more than 1 video per week we'll see the PEVs more consistently!
I personally have the similar scenario about the regrets of the dead love ones. However, there is a hope that was recorded in The Bible. “Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out.” - John 5 : 28, 29. “There is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.” - Acts 24: 15
Thanks for joining us on this ride! I need to do that more often. Ride therapy can be so relaxing. I can't wait for the warmer weather so that I don't have to rush to my destination since it's so damn cold lol
Great first video of 2024! Liked your talk about anime. My uncle in law who’s around the same age as you also loves anime and his son makes Goku his entire personality 🤣. People often forget that millennials are the OG anime kids so it makes sense that a lot of millennials still watch anime in 2024.
Thanks for joining us for this ride Kahn, glad you enjoyed the new and improved "Full Commute Experience" format! hahaha yea man, we were the OGs of geeky nerds that got hooked on it thanks to Cartoon Network when it still had Toonami. We were there for anime before it was cool, hip, and trendy lol. I'm right there with your uncle in law and his son. For the longest time my entire personality was based on the DBZ and Full Metal Alchemist universe. I knew it was becoming mainstream the moment Hollywood and Netflix started to do live action adaptations and series revivals. It actually almost hurts to see it along with these "thirst trap waifus" trying to make money off my fellow geeks lol.
thanks brother, always do man! it sure looks blistering cold there though. uk is flooded in some parts, the rain is terrible. we struggling with the winter. @@eyebahnrides
thanks for joining us for this ride Michael. I appreciate your support and I'm glad what I shared resonated with you. That means alot to me because I was almost going to scrap this video because I felt that it got a bit too heavy and personal
Hey Ivan! Biser here :) Nice to have you back on the screen. I want you to thank you for your efforts uploading and providing such nice and quiality content. For me personally its a very interesting content to watch, please go ahead. I like the high quality camera you capture with, and all the stuff you share in the video. You can talk more for electric scooters, problems with them, etc. Since I am riding almost every day too, my G3 PRO of Kukirin, would be very thankful if you expand tiny little topics (no need to be on my comment) - I see you ridnig a lot milages to work and back, how do you handle the charging, do you use two chargers or one, how long it takes to charge. How do you care for your battery? How do you care for the motors? How do you right in the rain, what equpment you have not being totally watered with 10 miles riding in the rain? Another interesting for me would be how do you clean your scooter, with a direct water on it or not exactly? I have so many questions but let start witht these first. I mean if you are looking for talking topics during your rides :) Keep safe and regards from Bulgaria :)
thanks for joining us on this ride, I'm glad you enjoyed the video Biser! I appreciate the suggestion for future talking points and I'll definitely add those to the list for the videos for the year. I definitely want to cover best practices for batteries and care for a PEV as well as some of the other things associated with the lifestyle of owning a PEV in NYC!
Thanks for joining us for this ride and welcome to the channel Jason! Happy to hear that you're enjoying the videos. Love sharing the joy of riding a PEV while showing folks around this amazing city. NYC is pretty interesting because theres so much to see. Even if you think you know it already, it evolves and the changes make it unrecognizable. Even after 30+ years here, I still get lost hahaha
Thanks for joining us for the ride Andrew! I think its two things that make it work. First, my FOV with my helmet is actually incredible. Second, the bars are high enough where they land right at the bottom of my chest (around where a the bar on a bench press would be). It allows me to be able to see traffic things really easily. When I really need to focus on a mirror ( like at the uturn at the end of the video), squat a little so that i can get a full view of that side. If my bars were too low or helmet's view was really restricted, this setup wouldn't work. Honestly, I'm glad that it works for me because it keeps the view for the camera pretty clean lol!
Ivan, I'm really glad you're feeling better and back at it. Sometimes these colds can really put us down. Now it's back to the grind. Bro, thank you for opening up and I personally understand how hard it is to do that. Much respect, brother. Ride That Tasty Wave
Thanks for joining us on this ride Weldon! We're definitely back on the grind after that mess lol. I only recorded half of the ride because I lost steam when I entered Central Park because I wasn't 100% for this ride. I decided to stop recording halfway through lol. I appreciate that. I'm not one to share personal things or difficulties because at the end of the day there are those going through much worse but it felt right to share for this ride. I don't have a script for these types of videos so we just kind of freestyle it!
Ivan thank you for sharing your story! Love your videos bro, and I'm hoping to get me a nami around April and start using it for commuting also. Keep them coming!
thanks for joining us for this ride and welcome to the channel Chris! I appreciate your kind words. It's alot of fun to make these so I'm glad that you've been enjoying your time here on the channel. Also, thanks for listening to the story. I don't normally like to share something so heavy but it just happened in the moment. Good luck on the the search for your scooter. Nami makes some incredible machines and I hope you can experience it soon. I'm excited for you! Which one were you thinking of getting?
@@eyebahnrides I'm still debating between the max and the klima. I think I can determine when I see both of them in person over @ the fluid store in Greenpoint.
Sounds like we had the same holiday season. Stomach flu unable to eat food... Happy New Year! Oh by the way I bought a Klima, your videos definitely helped persuade me.
thanks for joining us on this ride Joey! It's a terrible way to spend the holiday season especially because this is the only time of the year we can indulge in food that we don't normally eat lol. I hope that you're recovered by now because I'm only at about 80%. Eating certain things still makes me nauseous.... Happy New Year and Congratulations on your new scooter! I'm glad I could help make the decision easier. It's an incredible machine for it size so enjoy the heck out of it. Just make sure to gear up because an accident at the speeds this thing goes can be terrible.
Scooter here from Jam. Watching your videos made me wonder how easy taking to the road would be and I have ventured out and aboutin Kingston Jamaica. with my latest adventure being to leave the "Flats" 300ft and climb to over 4090 ft above Kingston! it was gruelling but Thanks. I see myself doing a group ride in New York soon-ish.
thanks for joining us on this ride Scooter! I'm glad that I could inspire some new adventures for your riding. That sounds like an incredible ride getting that far above Kingston and you'd probably capture some incredible view while you're there. The group rides should resume in the Spring. I know that the PEV groups are itching to ride!
Always love watching your vlog content. We need to ride again soon. I want you to take me to Kalye with Johnny and try that awesome lumpia and some Halo halo. Ride safe buddy🙏🏻👍👍
Thanks for joining us on the ride Taiho! That would be a ton of fun. Since the have outdoor dining, we could ride out there when the weather gets warmer. Its always nice to have the bikes next to us while we enjoy some good food, beer and deserts!
thanks for joining us for this ride and welcome to the channel Justin. That's awesome, the scooter is definitely the best way to take in the city while avoiding traffic! I hear from my clients that DFW is quite scenic and has a pretty good infrastructure for alternative transport. I'd love to ride around there one day 🙏🏼
Happy New Year Ivan! Man where do I start? Sorry that you got sick and hope that you get better soon, glad that you took some time for yourself, sorry about that story, pretty sad but forgiveness is the key for yourself. Nice ride and looks cold too 😂. Good to see you back in action and hope that all is well. Take care ✌🏾
Thanks for joining us for this ride and Happy New Year Domingo! I'm glad to be back in action since I was itching to release a video the whole time I was in bed lol. Though I wasn't even really sure what I was going to be capable of doing since I was still recovering, it's a miracle I made it to the end of this video. I just decided to cut it there since I ran out of steam towards the end and I stumbled back home after lol. Hope you're well and had a great Holiday Season!
I was doing roughly 60 hours a week for 10 years and ended up having a nervous breakdown. High blood pressure, not sleeping, over eating, no hobbies, depression, anxiety. I now work part time and I'm working on getting my health back to normal. I lost 50 pounds in 6 months so last week I rewarded myself with a Yume Y11+ scooter.
thanks for joining us for this one as well! Oh man, I completely understand the where your coming from with those long brutal hours and its negative impact on your life. That's how I felt when I was in real estate/ real estate development. I was at my wits end, my marriage was in trouble, and my life was dedicated helping make the company more money. So it lead to poor health, no hobbies, depression, and anxiety. As much as I complain about my current job, its no where near as brutal as my previous industry! Congrats on making the amazing decision to do something for you health and well being. Thanks for sharing that story with us. I'm hoping that as this channel grows, it will be the vehicle that will help me be more present with my family and future kids. I would love to reclaim my time and my health so that I can do something meaningful for my self!
Thanks for joining us for this ride and Happy New Year! I absolutely agree. I was having this conversation with my wife the other day. I was just like "there's got to be more to life than work, stress, and repeat". It's crazy that it took us this long to break the programming and realize that. I get that it's necessary to contribute to society and the economy but there has to be a balance to it
Hello NOTORIUS EYEBAN BRO IM SO GLAD YOU MADE IT TO WHERE YOU WAS GOING👍👍GOD HAD YOUR BACK AND IM HAPPY YOU MADE IT TO UR DESTINATION THANK JESUS 😂 THANK FOR WATCHING OVER MY BRO 😂 OK 👈🙏✌️💯🇺🇲
Thanks for joining us for this ride and welcome to the comments section! First, congratulations on your new scooter! I'm glad I was able to inspire you to try out a high performance escooter. Ride safe out there and remember to gear up even after you've gotten used to the performance of your Fighter. From there enjoy the heck out of it!
Just discovered your content. Im Looking to get into the scootering world and my eyes are on the klima max. Cool channel! Thanks for sharing your thoughts bro
thanks for joining us on this ride Gak and welcome to the channel. I apologize for the delayed reply. Work has been crazy and I'm finally catching up with RUclips. I have a few videos related to the first impressions and ownership review of the Klima Max so I hope that helps you out. I'm glad your enjoying your time on here and we're happy to have you!
@eyebahnrides If you don't know, Toonami is still airing; it's on [adult swim] these days, though. It airs on the Saturday-Sunday overnight period, and on Fridays
Thanks for joining us for the first video of 2024 and welcome to the channel Jonathan! I haven't had cable TV in almost 10 years so that's good to know if we ever sign up for it. Toonami x Adult Swim was epic back int he days!
*Eyooo* 🤙🏼 ⚡👌🏼👌🏼⚡ wait, is this a re-upload? 🤔 got de ja vu in the first 4mins. I like Queens, when i visited NY almost a decade ago, I liked Queens, I wasnt there for long but reminded me a little of East London where I live. Anime is watched by mostly adults, I don't personally watch nor enjoy anime but I respect that a lot of people love the deep storytellin in a lot of Anime. I love my tv show and movies.
thanks for joining us for this ride! Btw, we got an esk8 video coming out next week 👊🏼. hahaha nah, def not a reup. There's only 3 ways to get into Manhattan from my area and this route is the shortest and the most used on the channel. Also, the intro and what to expect portion is generally the same ( Despite the fact that I just can't seem to memorize my own intro!). I've never been to London but it sounds like East London is more my speed than the "Central Business District". In the future when I'm a full time content creator, I'd love to spend a few weeks in London riding around and making videos! Despite the restrictions, there seems to be a growing group PEV creators out there. I'm not a tv show/ movie person but my wife is (she's definitely not an Anime person). I can enjoy shows with her and she's even enjoyed a few animes with me because we respect each others entertainment preferences. In this divisive world where we even have to choose sides even with things that we enjoy, I believe that it's ok to like different things with our personal time and respect that lol
@@eyebahnrides 100% agree, people have forgotten that it's ok to like different things and ok to disagree, but I think the way we rebuild it is by example. Ginme a shout if/when you visit London, I'd be happy to show you authentic east london streets on esk8/bike, not the scenic and quiet/empty routes 😂
thanks for joining us on this ride and welcome to the channel Nigel! I'm glad you enjoy my chill approach to the content in this space. I'll update the links in the video's description by the end of today. I don't actually know what it is because I just grabbed them from Amazon lol.
Glad to hear you are feeling better my man.. Your videos have inspired me to get out with my cameras and do the same. Keep up the great work and maybe I’ll catch ya in NYC one day soon… 🤙🏾
thanks for joining us for this ride and welcome to the comments section! Definitely feeling much better now. I wish I could've completed the full route but I ran out of steam by the time I got out of Central Park on this route since I was still a bit under the weather for this ride! I'm glad I could inspire you to ride and record your adventures. It's alot of fun to sharing the joy (and sometimes the stress lol) of riding on our PEVs! I appreciate your kind words and look forward to meeting you at a NYC group ride one day!
yea man it was definitely a trek up there especially because I was still recovering from that bug. I was going to record the full ride but opted to cut it half way through since I ran out of steam around the time I got out of Central Park. Damn.....schlepping all the way to the BX is gonna be rough lol... It's gonna be fun as hell because you're on your bike while simultaneously being a miserable ride because of the cold and congestion!
as a fellow asian american, i relate to your career monologue SO much. as i've gotten older, i've learned to prioritize my mental health. work/life balance is key!
thanks for joining us for the ride and welcome to the channel Ghost! Luckily, I usually have the navigation about mile away from the start/ end of the ride. The destination in this video is more accurate because I was meeting with my friend in that public square near Columbia University so I was comfortable leaving it in there. Yea man, it's something that we go through because "hard work, honor, and perception" are things that are programmed from birth. You're absolutely correct. It took decades for me to undo that programming to pursue things that give me more balance and happiness. My wife and I always joke that we're "broken asians" since we always ask questions like is this really it? and there's got to be more to life than this... Of course, I understand that this is a first world problem and a luxury afforded to us by the years of hard work. But I still feel like it should be something that should talked about more.
thanks for joining us for this ride. Do it when ever you're ready. You could always purchase it second hand since thats the only depreciation you'll see, but that's only if you're ok with trusting how people treat their things. I personally am never comfortable with that unless I know the person, even then I'm quite cautious! I also personally like having the warranty that comes with a new scooter purchased from a trusted source 🙏🏼
thanks for watching and welcome to the channel Claud! That stomach bug was BRUTAL lol. Funny you say that, I know quite a few people that got it and we weren't even together!
thanks for joining us on this ride Darko. I hear alot of great things about Teverun. So as long as you're enjoying it, that's all that matters! Did you get your Supreme yet?
Hang on, help me out here. The camera that you use to record the forward facing view is attached to the front of your helmet face plate? In that case, we never see you look left or right to check traffic. Is there a chest-mounted camera that we're not seeing? I'm confused. Seems like your head would be on a swivel in NYC traffic...? Super cool setup. Eager to know how's done...
Thanks for joining us on this ride Lewis! There's actually a few tricks that I'm using to achieve that. First, anytime that I'm looking around I edit a 3rd person view of my self. The reason for that is there's a lag with what the camera is capturing and if i turn my head too quickly the image breaks on the edges. I take advantage of that delay by doing quick subtle turns of my head so that it looks like the camera has stayed in the forward position (which can be dizzying to the viewer). You'll see much more movement because I used different settings back then. If you watch the video closely, I'll always turn my head slowly in the direction of traffic in intersections. I'm always glancing down to look into my side mirrors to see whats going on behind me. Anytime I need to merge into a different lane, I'll squat down into my "braking stance" so that I can see clearly into the lane that I'm merging into. I also ride much more conservatively and when recording so I don't have to aggressively have my head on a swivel. I hope this helps answer the question lol!
Thanks for joining us on this ride as well! Don't worry, the right time for you to get one will come soon. When it happens, it's gonna be a ton of fun riding around the city avoiding all the traffic and congestion!
Thanks for joining us on tis ride RedMag! I used it a few times last year but I'm not fan of them. I felt like was always fighting to reach the brake because it was a little snug. I also was worried that my throttle would get caught in it and I would accidentally accelerate. They work extremely well at keeping your hands warm and even allowed me to use thinner gloves on some of the coldest days as long as I threw in handwarmer packs in the front.
Just got an e-bike and want to ride in New York. Two questions. First what would be the best way to bring the bike into New York. My car can’t fit a tow hitch to mount a bike rack so maybe disassemble and reassemble the front wheel and put inside the car? Or maybe nj transit busses have an under storage spot? Secondly how do you lock up the bike when you travel and explore outside. Is it dangerous? I bought a gps tracker from monimotto, an AirTag for backup, a motion sensor alarm and two dlocks for hip lock. Still am scared of the bike getting stolen. Any tips?
Thanks for joining us for this ride and welcome to the channel! I think you best bet is disassembling the bike and putting it back together once you're in NYC. I don't think the buses can accommodate an ebike but the trains might. As for locking up, make sure you have a heavy duty lock. I use the Fugghedabouit heavy duty chain and lock combo. Even then, I will never break line of sight with any of my PEVs. Thieves are professionally armed with all the tools necessary to dismantle any lock and chain given enough time. Even though my PEVs are stored in a bike room with 24/7 surveillance and a door person, I still lock it up.
We will always have to work to pay for services, rent, food and wares. unless one can cut out most of the cost of living.... We live on a sailboat so we don't have to work so hard. We don't need to pay other people to live... We only have to pay for Food Fuel and phone. Easy for us to save money for everything we need for our lifestyle and have all the time in the world with our two kids traveling full time living on the water. If you can work remotely living on a sailboat schooly or van live becomes real easy on the bank account
thanks for watching this one as well Jason! That's freaking awesome that you live in a sailboat. That sounds like a dream for those that can work remotely. My choice of careers unfortunately requires me to be client facing in person so I don't have that option....yet. I hope that one day, I can grow this channel to the point that it can allow my wife and I the freedom to work remotely as creatives. As long as I have access to my cameras, my laptops, and whatever I'm riding, I'll be able to make content from anywhere in the world. That's also assuming that content creation and the business that grow from it are still a viable way of making a living in the future lol!
Thanks for stopping by the channel. Most of my content revolves around ride vlogging while on my PEVs. I don't usually mention specks or hardware unless it's a First Impressions or Review video. There's a playlist on the channel if you want to check those videos out.
Thanks for joining us for this ride! You're absolutely correct. On average, these videos don't do as well as my more edited videos but the core community for this channel watch most, if not all, of the long videos. I've made changes to it's style over the last year based on feedback from the channel so I'm glad this latest version was so well received. I agree with you. Personally, I like the longer videos and I don't have a problem watching it when I can. If I had to step away for any reason, I always return to finish it later on. I just wished I had more time to watch as much content as I used to before becoming a creator my self!
thanks for joining us on this ride and welcome to the channel! It depends on what you're looking for and what you currently like. If you haven't seen these 3, I recommend checking them out. Full Metal Brotherhood ( Classic) Shingeki no Kyojin (Recently Completed Series) One Punch Man (something that doesnt take it self to serious)
thanks for joining us for this ride and welcome to the channel Dave! I may consider doing that in the future when this channel reaches the point where I can be a full time creator. As a person that works a ton of hours at my job, I've got my hands quite full with juggling that, this channel, and personal things. I'll have better equipment and I'll also be better at editing by the time that time comes so it'll be easier to create the videos and manage the communities
thanks for watching the video and I appreciate the feedback. In the future, that's something that I plan to do. We'll have a separate playlist for videos where I'll have multiple mics capturing the sounds around me and that's all you'll hear. The channel is primarily a ride vlogging channel so that's going to be the type of videos that I'll be making until I have the ability to release multiple videos per week. At that point, I'll begin to experiment with other formats. At this moment, I'm only capable consistently uploading 1 video per week because of my responsibilities at work and at home.
Nice to see you back! Ride safe! NAMI Klima Max user here from Manila, riding 45kms back and forth(home-office)....how many kms is that ride you made in this video? 🛴🇵🇭🐍♥️
thanks for joining us for the ride Romell, I'm glad to be back! That's a crazy long commute for you, but you must save a ton of time avoiding all that traffic by riding the scooter. The video is only a 10 mile (16 km) ride but the whole ride was about 32kms. Since I was still not feeling well, I ended up cutting the video at the halfway point.

Yooo, what up eyebahn. Dope vid.
Yoooooo, thanks for joining us for this ride and welcome back to the comments section! Glad you enjoyed the video.
Happy New Year btw!
I just like to get on my ebike and ride like you do, so relaxing.
Thanks for joining us on this ride! I need to do that more often. Ride therapy can be so relaxing. I can't wait for the warmer weather so that I don't have to rush to my destination since it's so damn cold lol
Great first video of 2024! Liked your talk about anime. My uncle in law who’s around the same age as you also loves anime and his son makes Goku his entire personality 🤣. People often forget that millennials are the OG anime kids so it makes sense that a lot of millennials still watch anime in 2024.
Thanks for joining us for this ride Kahn, glad you enjoyed the new and improved "Full Commute Experience" format! hahaha yea man, we were the OGs of geeky nerds that got hooked on it thanks to Cartoon Network when it still had Toonami.

For the longest time my entire personality was based on the DBZ and Full Metal Alchemist universe. I knew it was becoming mainstream the moment Hollywood and Netflix started to do live action adaptations and series revivals. It actually almost hurts to see it along with these "thirst trap waifus" trying to make money off my fellow geeks lol.
always a good notification to get. I will sit and watch this with me coffee and doobie! :D
thanks for the the support Boozy, hope you enjoy the ride! It's a super chill on so perfect for the morning coffee and doobie lol
thanks brother, always do man! it sure looks blistering cold there though. uk is flooded in some parts, the rain is terrible. we struggling with the winter. @@eyebahnrides
I can relate to what your going threw , thanks for sharing and keeping it real .
thanks for joining us for this ride Michael. I appreciate your support and I'm glad what I shared resonated with you. That means alot to me because I was almost going to scrap this video because I felt that it got a bit too heavy and personal
Hey Ivan! Biser here :) Nice to have you back on the screen. I want you to thank you for your efforts uploading and providing such nice and quiality content. For me personally its a very interesting content to watch, please go ahead. I like the high quality camera you capture with, and all the stuff you share in the video. You can talk more for electric scooters, problems with them, etc. Since I am riding almost every day too, my G3 PRO of Kukirin, would be very thankful if you expand tiny little topics (no need to be on my comment) - I see you ridnig a lot milages to work and back, how do you handle the charging, do you use two chargers or one, how long it takes to charge. How do you care for your battery? How do you care for the motors? How do you right in the rain, what equpment you have not being totally watered with 10 miles riding in the rain? Another interesting for me would be how do you clean your scooter, with a direct water on it or not exactly? I have so many questions but let start witht these first. I mean if you are looking for talking topics during your rides :) Keep safe and regards from Bulgaria :)
thanks for joining us on this ride, I'm glad you enjoyed the video Biser! I appreciate the suggestion for future talking points and I'll definitely add those to the list for the videos for the year. I definitely want to cover best practices for batteries and care for a PEV as well as some of the other things associated with the lifestyle of owning a PEV in NYC!
Great vid! Love your stuff and always enjoy seeing this kinda ride-NYC makes such an interesting backdrop.
Thanks for joining us for this ride and welcome to the channel Jason! Happy to hear that you're enjoying the videos. Love sharing the joy of riding a PEV while showing folks around this amazing city. NYC is pretty interesting because theres so much to see. Even if you think you know it already, it evolves and the changes make it unrecognizable. Even after 30+ years here, I still get lost hahaha
Cheers, Ivan! I love the way you put your rearview mirrors, but I don't know how you make them work like that.
Thanks for joining us for the ride Andrew! I think its two things that make it work. First, my FOV with my helmet is actually incredible. Second, the bars are high enough where they land right at the bottom of my chest (around where a the bar on a bench press would be). It allows me to be able to see traffic things really easily. When I really need to focus on a mirror ( like at the uturn at the end of the video), squat a little so that i can get a full view of that side. If my bars were too low or helmet's view was really restricted, this setup wouldn't work.
Honestly, I'm glad that it works for me because it keeps the view for the camera pretty clean lol!
Ivan, I'm really glad you're feeling better and back at it. Sometimes these colds can really put us down. Now it's back to the grind.
Bro, thank you for opening up and I personally understand how hard it is to do that. Much respect, brother.
Ride That Tasty Wave
Thanks for joining us on this ride Weldon! We're definitely back on the grind after that mess lol. I only recorded half of the ride because I lost steam when I entered Central Park because I wasn't 100% for this ride. I decided to stop recording halfway through lol.
I appreciate that. I'm not one to share personal things or difficulties because at the end of the day there are those going through much worse but it felt right to share for this ride. I don't have a script for these types of videos so we just kind of freestyle it!
Ivan thank you for sharing your story! Love your videos bro, and I'm hoping to get me a nami around April and start using it for commuting also. Keep them coming!
thanks for joining us for this ride and welcome to the channel Chris! I appreciate your kind words. It's alot of fun to make these so I'm glad that you've been enjoying your time here on the channel. Also, thanks for listening to the story. I don't normally like to share something so heavy but it just happened in the moment.
Good luck on the the search for your scooter. Nami makes some incredible machines and I hope you can experience it soon. I'm excited for you! Which one were you thinking of getting?
@@eyebahnrides I'm still debating between the max and the klima. I think I can determine when I see both of them in person over @ the fluid store in Greenpoint.
Sounds like we had the same holiday season. Stomach flu unable to eat food... Happy New Year! Oh by the way I bought a Klima, your videos definitely helped persuade me.
thanks for joining us on this ride Joey! It's a terrible way to spend the holiday season especially because this is the only time of the year we can indulge in food that we don't normally eat lol. I hope that you're recovered by now because I'm only at about 80%. Eating certain things still makes me nauseous....
Happy New Year and Congratulations on your new scooter! I'm glad I could help make the decision easier. It's an incredible machine for it size so enjoy the heck out of it. Just make sure to gear up because an accident at the speeds this thing goes can be terrible.
Scooter here from Jam. Watching your videos made me wonder how easy taking to the road would be and I have ventured out and aboutin Kingston Jamaica. with my latest adventure being to leave the "Flats" 300ft and climb to over 4090 ft above Kingston! it was gruelling but Thanks. I see myself doing a group ride in New York soon-ish.
thanks for joining us on this ride Scooter! I'm glad that I could inspire some new adventures for your riding. That sounds like an incredible ride getting that far above Kingston and you'd probably capture some incredible view while you're there. The group rides should resume in the Spring. I know that the PEV groups are itching to ride!
@@eyebahnrides indeed I did.
Excellent video 👍🏾
thanks for joining us for the long ride Reuben, glad you liked the new improved format for the series!
@@eyebahnrides You're welcome
Always love watching your vlog content. We need to ride again soon. I want you to take me to Kalye with Johnny and try that awesome lumpia and some Halo halo. Ride safe buddy🙏🏻👍👍
Thanks for joining us on the ride Taiho! That would be a ton of fun. Since the have outdoor dining, we could ride out there when the weather gets warmer. Its always nice to have the bikes next to us while we enjoy some good food, beer and deserts!
I ride my Fluid Horizon all over Downtown Fort Worth. It’s so awesome to take in the sights and sounds of the city.
thanks for joining us for this ride and welcome to the channel Justin. That's awesome, the scooter is definitely the best way to take in the city while avoiding traffic! I hear from my clients that DFW is quite scenic and has a pretty good infrastructure for alternative transport. I'd love to ride around there one day 🙏🏼
Good stuff
thanks for joining us on this ride and welcome to the channel! Glad you enjoyed the video 🙏🏼
Happy New Year Ivan! Man where do I start? Sorry that you got sick and hope that you get better soon, glad that you took some time for yourself, sorry about that story, pretty sad but forgiveness is the key for yourself. Nice ride and looks cold too 😂. Good to see you back in action and hope that all is well. Take care ✌🏾
Thanks for joining us for this ride and Happy New Year Domingo! I'm glad to be back in action since I was itching to release a video the whole time I was in bed lol. Though I wasn't even really sure what I was going to be capable of doing since I was still recovering, it's a miracle I made it to the end of this video. I just decided to cut it there since I ran out of steam towards the end and I stumbled back home after lol.
Hope you're well and had a great Holiday Season!
I was doing roughly 60 hours a week for 10 years and ended up having a nervous breakdown. High blood pressure, not sleeping, over eating, no hobbies, depression, anxiety.
I now work part time and I'm working on getting my health back to normal. I lost 50 pounds in 6 months so last week I rewarded myself with a Yume Y11+ scooter.
thanks for joining us for this one as well! Oh man, I completely understand the where your coming from with those long brutal hours and its negative impact on your life. That's how I felt when I was in real estate/ real estate development. I was at my wits end, my marriage was in trouble, and my life was dedicated helping make the company more money. So it lead to poor health, no hobbies, depression, and anxiety. As much as I complain about my current job, its no where near as brutal as my previous industry!
Congrats on making the amazing decision to do something for you health and well being. Thanks for sharing that story with us.
I'm hoping that as this channel grows, it will be the vehicle that will help me be more present with my family and future kids. I would love to reclaim my time and my health so that I can do something meaningful for my self!
Yeah man. There's more to life than working all the time.
Thanks for joining us for this ride and Happy New Year! I absolutely agree. I was having this conversation with my wife the other day. I was just like "there's got to be more to life than work, stress, and repeat". It's crazy that it took us this long to break the programming and realize that. I get that it's necessary to contribute to society and the economy but there has to be a balance to it
Hello NOTORIUS EYEBAN BRO IM SO GLAD YOU MADE IT TO WHERE YOU WAS GOING👍👍GOD HAD YOUR BACK AND IM HAPPY YOU MADE IT TO UR DESTINATION THANK JESUS 😂 THANK FOR WATCHING OVER MY BRO 😂 OK 👈🙏✌️💯🇺🇲
Even though i didn't have the energy to record the ride home, I'm glad I made it to the desitination!
Thanks to you I just bought my first e-scooter. A Teverun Fighter 11.
Thanks for joining us for this ride and welcome to the comments section! First, congratulations on your new scooter! I'm glad I was able to inspire you to try out a high performance escooter. Ride safe out there and remember to gear up even after you've gotten used to the performance of your Fighter. From there enjoy the heck out of it!
Just discovered your content. Im Looking to get into the scootering world and my eyes are on the klima max. Cool channel! Thanks for sharing your thoughts bro
thanks for joining us on this ride Gak and welcome to the channel. I apologize for the delayed reply. Work has been crazy and I'm finally catching up with RUclips. I have a few videos related to the first impressions and ownership review of the Klima Max so I hope that helps you out. I'm glad your enjoying your time on here and we're happy to have you!
@eyebahnrides If you don't know, Toonami is still airing; it's on [adult swim] these days, though. It airs on the Saturday-Sunday overnight period, and on Fridays
Thanks for joining us for the first video of 2024 and welcome to the channel Jonathan! I haven't had cable TV in almost 10 years so that's good to know if we ever sign up for it. Toonami x Adult Swim was epic back int he days!
*Eyooo* 🤙🏼
⚡👌🏼👌🏼⚡
wait, is this a re-upload? 🤔 got de ja vu in the first 4mins.
I like Queens, when i visited NY almost a decade ago, I liked Queens, I wasnt there for long but reminded me a little of East London where I live.
Anime is watched by mostly adults, I don't personally watch nor enjoy anime but I respect that a lot of people love the deep storytellin in a lot of Anime. I love my tv show and movies.
thanks for joining us for this ride! Btw, we got an esk8 video coming out next week 👊🏼.
hahaha nah, def not a reup. There's only 3 ways to get into Manhattan from my area and this route is the shortest and the most used on the channel. Also, the intro and what to expect portion is generally the same ( Despite the fact that I just can't seem to memorize my own intro!).
I've never been to London but it sounds like East London is more my speed than the "Central Business District". In the future when I'm a full time content creator, I'd love to spend a few weeks in London riding around and making videos! Despite the restrictions, there seems to be a growing group PEV creators out there.
I'm not a tv show/ movie person but my wife is (she's definitely not an Anime person). I can enjoy shows with her and she's even enjoyed a few animes with me because we respect each others entertainment preferences. In this divisive world where we even have to choose sides even with things that we enjoy, I believe that it's ok to like different things with our personal time and respect that lol
@@eyebahnrides 100% agree, people have forgotten that it's ok to like different things and ok to disagree, but I think the way we rebuild it is by example.
Ginme a shout if/when you visit London, I'd be happy to show you authentic east london streets on esk8/bike, not the scenic and quiet/empty routes 😂
i find your videos very relaxing BTW where can I purchase those mirrors u have on the Nami klima? 👍
thanks for joining us on this ride and welcome to the channel Nigel! I'm glad you enjoy my chill approach to the content in this space. I'll update the links in the video's description by the end of today. I don't actually know what it is because I just grabbed them from Amazon lol.
They’ve been updated in the description. It’s under scooter accessories and it’s called “Klima Mirrors”
Glad to hear you are feeling better my man.. Your videos have inspired me to get out with my cameras and do the same. Keep up the great work and maybe I’ll catch ya in NYC one day soon… 🤙🏾
thanks for joining us for this ride and welcome to the comments section! Definitely feeling much better now. I wish I could've completed the full route but I ran out of steam by the time I got out of Central Park on this route since I was still a bit under the weather for this ride! I'm glad I could inspire you to ride and record your adventures. It's alot of fun to sharing the joy (and sometimes the stress lol) of riding on our PEVs!
I appreciate your kind words and look forward to meeting you at a NYC group ride one day!
Harlem is a hike! I need to go see buddy's meat processing place in the Bronx - I'm simultaneously excited for and dreading that ride. Haha
yea man it was definitely a trek up there especially because I was still recovering from that bug. I was going to record the full ride but opted to cut it half way through since I ran out of steam around the time I got out of Central Park.
Damn.....schlepping all the way to the BX is gonna be rough lol... It's gonna be fun as hell because you're on your bike while simultaneously being a miserable ride because of the cold and congestion!
@@eyebahnrides especially at like 4am lol! That's when I have to head there. Craziness
@@JohnnyPrimeCC sheeesssh that early lol. On the bright side, the roads will be empty as hell!
@@eyebahnrides no traffic!
you a brave man.. putting your home and work location out there.
as a fellow asian american, i relate to your career monologue SO much. as i've gotten older, i've learned to prioritize my mental health. work/life balance is key!
thanks for joining us for the ride and welcome to the channel Ghost! Luckily, I usually have the navigation about mile away from the start/ end of the ride. The destination in this video is more accurate because I was meeting with my friend in that public square near Columbia University so I was comfortable leaving it in there.
Yea man, it's something that we go through because "hard work, honor, and perception" are things that are programmed from birth. You're absolutely correct. It took decades for me to undo that programming to pursue things that give me more balance and happiness. My wife and I always joke that we're "broken asians" since we always ask questions like is this really it? and there's got to be more to life than this... Of course, I understand that this is a first world problem and a luxury afforded to us by the years of hard work. But I still feel like it should be something that should talked about more.
this dude keeps teasing me with the nami klima. i dont know if i should pull the trigger now or wait for a price depreciation.
thanks for joining us for this ride. Do it when ever you're ready. You could always purchase it second hand since thats the only depreciation you'll see, but that's only if you're ok with trusting how people treat their things. I personally am never comfortable with that unless I know the person, even then I'm quite cautious! I also personally like having the warranty that comes with a new scooter purchased from a trusted source 🙏🏼
Yeah there was stomach bug at that time, I think I had it too. 😅
thanks for watching and welcome to the channel Claud! That stomach bug was BRUTAL lol. Funny you say that, I know quite a few people that got it and we weren't even together!
I was wanted and planing long time about Nami 2 but give up and take Teverun Supreme
thanks for joining us on this ride Darko. I hear alot of great things about Teverun. So as long as you're enjoying it, that's all that matters! Did you get your Supreme yet?
💯‼️
thanks for joining us on the ride Dave! 👊🏼👊🏼
Hang on, help me out here. The camera that you use to record the forward facing view is attached to the front of your helmet face plate? In that case, we never see you look left or right to check traffic. Is there a chest-mounted camera that we're not seeing? I'm confused. Seems like your head would be on a swivel in NYC traffic...? Super cool setup. Eager to know how's done...
Thanks for joining us on this ride Lewis! There's actually a few tricks that I'm using to achieve that. First, anytime that I'm looking around I edit a 3rd person view of my self. The reason for that is there's a lag with what the camera is capturing and if i turn my head too quickly the image breaks on the edges. I take advantage of that delay by doing quick subtle turns of my head so that it looks like the camera has stayed in the forward position (which can be dizzying to the viewer). You'll see much more movement because I used different settings back then.
If you watch the video closely, I'll always turn my head slowly in the direction of traffic in intersections. I'm always glancing down to look into my side mirrors to see whats going on behind me. Anytime I need to merge into a different lane, I'll squat down into my "braking stance" so that I can see clearly into the lane that I'm merging into.
I also ride much more conservatively and when recording so I don't have to aggressively have my head on a swivel.
I hope this helps answer the question lol!
I wanna get one 😫 but soon God first 🙏
Thanks for joining us on this ride as well! Don't worry, the right time for you to get one will come soon. When it happens, it's gonna be a ton of fun riding around the city avoiding all the traffic and congestion!
Have you considered using handlebar mittens in the winter?
Thanks for joining us on tis ride RedMag! I used it a few times last year but I'm not fan of them. I felt like was always fighting to reach the brake because it was a little snug. I also was worried that my throttle would get caught in it and I would accidentally accelerate.
They work extremely well at keeping your hands warm and even allowed me to use thinner gloves on some of the coldest days as long as I threw in handwarmer packs in the front.
@@eyebahnridesyes those were my concerns as well with the throttle but the one I have doesn’t get in the way.
Just got an e-bike and want to ride in New York. Two questions. First what would be the best way to bring the bike into New York. My car can’t fit a tow hitch to mount a bike rack so maybe disassemble and reassemble the front wheel and put inside the car? Or maybe nj transit busses have an under storage spot?
Secondly how do you lock up the bike when you travel and explore outside. Is it dangerous? I bought a gps tracker from monimotto, an AirTag for backup, a motion sensor alarm and two dlocks for hip lock. Still am scared of the bike getting stolen. Any tips?
Thanks for joining us for this ride and welcome to the channel! I think you best bet is disassembling the bike and putting it back together once you're in NYC. I don't think the buses can accommodate an ebike but the trains might.
As for locking up, make sure you have a heavy duty lock. I use the Fugghedabouit heavy duty chain and lock combo. Even then, I will never break line of sight with any of my PEVs. Thieves are professionally armed with all the tools necessary to dismantle any lock and chain given enough time. Even though my PEVs are stored in a bike room with 24/7 surveillance and a door person, I still lock it up.
We will always have to work to pay for services, rent, food and wares. unless one can cut out most of the cost of living.... We live on a sailboat so we don't have to work so hard. We don't need to pay other people to live... We only have to pay for Food Fuel and phone. Easy for us to save money for everything we need for our lifestyle and have all the time in the world with our two kids traveling full time living on the water. If you can work remotely living on a sailboat schooly or van live becomes real easy on the bank account
thanks for watching this one as well Jason! That's freaking awesome that you live in a sailboat. That sounds like a dream for those that can work remotely. My choice of careers unfortunately requires me to be client facing in person so I don't have that option....yet. I hope that one day, I can grow this channel to the point that it can allow my wife and I the freedom to work remotely as creatives. As long as I have access to my cameras, my laptops, and whatever I'm riding, I'll be able to make content from anywhere in the world. That's also assuming that content creation and the business that grow from it are still a viable way of making a living in the future lol!
Are there any scooter hardware Klima thoughts in this video or is it all lifestyle commentary?
Thanks for stopping by the channel. Most of my content revolves around ride vlogging while on my PEVs. I don't usually mention specks or hardware unless it's a First Impressions or Review video. There's a playlist on the channel if you want to check those videos out.
@@eyebahnrides thank you!!
It's hard getting people to watch a long video. Personally I like watching long videos.
Thanks for joining us for this ride! You're absolutely correct. On average, these videos don't do as well as my more edited videos but the core community for this channel watch most, if not all, of the long videos. I've made changes to it's style over the last year based on feedback from the channel so I'm glad this latest version was so well received.
I agree with you. Personally, I like the longer videos and I don't have a problem watching it when I can. If I had to step away for any reason, I always return to finish it later on. I just wished I had more time to watch as much content as I used to before becoming a creator my self!
Any recomendation for anime?
thanks for joining us on this ride and welcome to the channel! It depends on what you're looking for and what you currently like. If you haven't seen these 3, I recommend checking them out.
Full Metal Brotherhood ( Classic)
Shingeki no Kyojin (Recently Completed Series)
One Punch Man (something that doesnt take it self to serious)
16:25 Carriages! Hate them!!!!!1
it adds to the nonsense on the roads here lol. They're some of the worst things out there!
Ivan why don’t you create a RUclips channel about what you also love (Anime).
thanks for joining us for this ride and welcome to the channel Dave! I may consider doing that in the future when this channel reaches the point where I can be a full time creator. As a person that works a ton of hours at my job, I've got my hands quite full with juggling that, this channel, and personal things. I'll have better equipment and I'll also be better at editing by the time that time comes so it'll be easier to create the videos and manage the communities
Could you do a video without speaking ? recording the sound of your surroundings and thats it ?
thanks for watching the video and I appreciate the feedback. In the future, that's something that I plan to do. We'll have a separate playlist for videos where I'll have multiple mics capturing the sounds around me and that's all you'll hear. The channel is primarily a ride vlogging channel so that's going to be the type of videos that I'll be making until I have the ability to release multiple videos per week. At that point, I'll begin to experiment with other formats. At this moment, I'm only capable consistently uploading 1 video per week because of my responsibilities at work and at home.
Nice to see you back! Ride safe! NAMI Klima Max user here from Manila, riding 45kms back and forth(home-office)....how many kms is that ride you made in this video? 🛴🇵🇭🐍♥️
thanks for joining us for the ride Romell, I'm glad to be back! That's a crazy long commute for you, but you must save a ton of time avoiding all that traffic by riding the scooter. The video is only a 10 mile (16 km) ride but the whole ride was about 32kms. Since I was still not feeling well, I ended up cutting the video at the halfway point.
EYEBAN ITS UR BOYY NOTORIOUS IRBY AGAIN I KNOW YOU JUST SAID EVERY ONE THINKS NEW YORK IS YES???ITS A BIG WELCOME NEWYORK YES ITS AMIGRANT CITYNOW 👈😡🤔
NYC is definitely crazy. We have our issues but I'm hopeful that we can work through it for the sake of all that live here.
