Appreciate your fun storytelling, your bike reviews, this massive range test, and the video. Knowing a little about video editing, this was a monster edit job. Keep it up man. Unique work!
@agasdoc editing videos really makes me appreciate other channels that clearly must spend hundreds of hours editing and researching videos. It's studio quite work sometimes.
absolute banger of a video! I just bought a Revv1 by Ride1up and I have a dual battery setup. Just made my first work commute from Vallejo to Concord and I thought I was going too far, then I come home and see this upload! I wanna figure out how to get this type of range on my bike! I'd be juiced if I ran into you riding one of these days. Also, this video gave me some great insight on how to conserve battery and not kill the battery super fast. Keep up the good work Mr. Chit.
@shootthechit Yeah I did both ways I also rode that bike trail and through the waterfront too. I biked both bridges on my very first ride this last weekend and took Mc Ewen Rd to Carquinez Scenic Drive into Crockett. Super nice ride downhill but not as intense as your Fish Ranch run in this video.
@ I am from NYC so when I was living out there I fell in love with the area, wish they had Ebikes in the early 2000’s when I was living in that area it would have helped and I probably would have stayed if I had access to Ebikes back then.
Can’t you believe you made such a far trip on the Motor goat. Thought at first you were just going to do bridge to bridge and then take the Carquinez scenic route. Cool of you to point out the Marsh landmark too. I’ve driven and ridden by that hundreds of times before taking a few minutes to finally read it myself. With all those additional stops in the east bay after Vallejo on up through Berkeley hills, I’m impressed with the 100 mile range in the motor goat. Great NES music you included and great to give a shout out to the thrash metal gods Metallica. Awesome video and review.
great video and tour..gotta say I always look forward to hearing your explanations, especially when you're out of breath and have to force the last words out of your mouth haha. You're probably the only one that's done the full range test with that huge frame battery addition. That's crazy you got over a 100mi even going uphill at times being as a big as a linebacker with all that gear. You've got to be about 50 if you were in jr high when Metallica started to break onto the scene. That was when Hetfield looked like a feral young werewolf. That's when I was in jr. high and the smallest kid in school was the biggest stoner (compensating for his late or nonexistent growth spurt i guess) but he knew all the metal acts that were up and coming and probably had the best 'metal' mullet in school. That's when concerts were really fun to attend and you found out about who was going to be the next big act when they opened for another band. If you go back a little further in time to include the glam rock' bands of the '80s, even more really good bands came out of the Bay Area. But most of the hair band rock came out of SoCal. I forgot that even Metallica started out in LA (back when Dave Mustaine was in the band as he's a SoCal'er). Forgot about Exodus being from the East Bay but makes sense as Kirk Hammet was in Exodus before he took Mustaine's place as lead guitarist for Metallica. I think Testament came out of the East Bay as well. The Bay Area produced. Seattle, you can keep yer grunge. I remember the video rental stores.miss them believe it or not. I liked them because there was something to look forward to when you'd go to the video store and start picking out movies. You often did know what you were going to come back with..Rochelle Rochelle? I use streaming now..who doesn't but I just preferred the older school pace of anticipation and leading into good times. You can get what you want on demand in an instant now and that's cool but it's not the same. I almost liken it to listening to the radio over other streaming platforms. I know I can pull up a song anytime I like, but to have it come on over the radio still feels more special when it crops up unexpectedly. Now that I look back there was a period before metal got all overcategorized as thrash, progressive, etc. where it was just all really good chit that stood on its own. Like from '88-'91 was a period when metal acts just produced good tunes before they pigeonholed themselves into a particular sound, whether band decision or the label's direction i don't know. I remember I liked Pantera on Cowboys from Hell but then they sounded like mostly moshpit metal after that album (with a few exceptions). My buddies all loved their albums but that was pretty much the last one i cared for by them. Metallica was great workout music back in the day..still is I guess. Sorry for the longwinded fat chew but your nostalgic tour inspired a bit of it. 2 thumbs up the chitter! Let's see your pitchforks, Northern California!!
I'm 45, when I first started listening to Metallica it was And Justice For All era, then worked our way back. Also really like Slayer , one of my favorite bands for sure. I think Testament is from Antioch of all places, at least I know the lead signer lives here (or did). This area has a lot of cool music history. Creedence is also from El Cerrito... which makes no sense because they sound like a southern band. Thanks for the comment, I like hearing other peoples memories of the good old days
I went with the extra 20 Ah battery and I can go over 100 miles and still had 29 % left. It just keeps the weight down and less weight less stress on components. Plus I weigh 230. In addition I am thinking of going 72 volt in future.
I remember hearing he moved to Colorado a few years ago. He used to come to Antioch once a year for a car show he would participate in. I've always heard he is pretty cool and down to earth. Thats cool you've seen him around.
@shootthechit I just saw him at the grocery store last week. We have literally stood beside each other at Walmart discussing the overwhelming choices of frying pans lol. Dude is a Vail 💎 and he's a wonderful part of the community. Cone visit sometime. It's fun here.
Great ride! I used to Bomb down Marin back in the day it was the best part of my loop from pinole around briones up wildcat canyon through Tilden park down Grizzly peak to Marin then SP Ave back to pinole.
High gas prices: I don't know if one needs my logic to understand it, but I'll try. The main factor limiting the price of goods is the "Willingness to pay". At some point, increasing prices hit peoples "Ability to pay" Companies continue to raise prices to maximize profit. Lets say I were making a product that I sold for $10 profit. Let's say: At $10 profit I sell 10 per week. $10 X 10 = 100 I raise to $20 profit and sell 9. $20 X 9 = $180 At $30 profit I sell 8. $30 X 8 = $240 $40 profit I sell 7. $40 X 7 = $280 $50 profit I sell 6. $50 X 6 = $300 $60 profit I sell 5. $60 X 5 = $300 $70 profit I sell 4. $70 X 4 = $280. So, as a business man, I set my price to make $60 profit. That's where I get the most profit with the least work. Do you need the product? not my concern. Can you pay for the product? not my concern. That's how capitalism works. in California, there's enough people willing to pay the higher price to make it profitable.
I use a 33 Ah setup and get similar mileage, so a ton of watts are blown away by riding fast and with a heavier bike. And I thought mine was heavy at about 90 pounds. I can get the same mileage on flat terrain in level 1 pedal assist plus pedaling the entire time, also wearing a heavy backpack, (loaded up with tools and spare inner tubes so I don't get stranded). Basically, it seems as though most of the watts are being blown away just compensating for the weight of the bike and rider. Although technically the rider could drop weight, I think it's better if bike manufacturers also do it on their end. If I run up to level 2 (out of 5) pedal assist, my mileage drops to about 80-some miles ... I never ride to complete battery exhaustion, so I don't know the exact amount, but it's noticeably less than the 100 mile range on level 1 pedal assist. In both cases I am riding it like an ordinary bicycle: pedaling the entire time.
35:00 did you really walk the bike ?! The bike hits 45mph and don’t have enough power to climb that hill ?! A bit disappointing because the Ariel rider grizzly will have made it … it’s a 52v system dual motor 😭 Pedaling doesn’t count as a range test, all throttle 🤪….. Great range test tho 🔥💯 46:55 you had to do it lmao Great and fantastic video overall, you got a subscriber 👍🏿
How was the seat on the Moto Goat over 100 miles? I got the M20 Engwe, it had a "motorcycle-like" seat like the Moto Goat, and I thought its seat was terrible. It was quite hard. I ended up welding together a frame for the seat platform to hold a plush but regular bike seat. I also had to improvise a rack system to hold the heavier things off my back. Backpacks are not that great for bike touring IMO.
May you please tell me wear you bought your amazing helmet. Ive tried full face helms in the past they dont do for me and make my head and neck super uncomfortable. thanks
Would you say that brake upgrade could work for an E-cells five star? I know that bike doesnt cook the brakes the same way, but I have felt the brakes on that bike are lacking sometimes. And if I am going through the trouble to upgrade the brakes, it might as well be to something good.
@RXR25 I'm almost 100% sure it would work. The tricky part is figuring out the adapters for the rotors. It also looks like the Ecells uses a different plug for the brake sensor so it wouldn't plug directly in
@@shootthechit Hmm maybe there is an adapter. It's not the worst thing to have the brake sensor unplugged, a lot of E-Motos do that. But its nice to have to not waste battery power.
I forget off the top of my head, Error 6 maybe. It has something to do with the wiring, I know I'm not the only one who has had the issue. Bike still works, but the speedometer and odometer stop responding until you turn it off and on again.
Do another range test, using the batteries one after the other. You ll get an higher range, because there ll be no energy loss to the battery blender in such scenario.
I wonder if I can get my Meelod DK300 Max up to 100 miles... idk, I have 2x 20ah 48V batteries but if I could one day swap the mid battery to a larger one that could be cool. My range wish is about ~70 miles of true range.
You're sick for the Metallica info bro, I live in the city and I know some of their stomping's over here but I didn't remember the El Cerrito spot. Even though I've been to El Cerrito a bunch because my buddy lives right off right underneath the BART line. If they had a dime for every time a strange white dude stood in front on the sidewalk with a tear slipping from his eye they'd be millionaires right there. Oh wait, they probably are millionaires they could sell that home for a cool million anyways. 😂

@@rapidtransition2852 Nice, did you go over the Benecia bridge? It's a nice ride through that waterfront area.
@shootthechit Yeah I did both ways I also rode that bike trail and through the waterfront too. I biked both bridges on my very first ride this last weekend and took Mc Ewen Rd to Carquinez Scenic Drive into Crockett. Super nice ride downhill but not as intense as your Fish Ranch run in this video.
Wow! Nice styling on the Motor Goat! Really nice looking bike! The performance looks great.
Great story telling 👍🏾💯🔥
Your video's always bring me back to my childhood! I was born 1980. I Loved my childhood, we actually did things together as humans.
Outstanding! 🦵💪⚡️🚴♂️
Great journey man, I really like that you made the video as long as you did, very cool.
Thx for putting the Goat to the test and you brought me closer to getting it by making this video, wished I still lived over there I miss north cal
Norcal has its moments that's for sure. It's nice with the dual batteries, you can do some ridiculously long tours
@ I am from NYC so when I was living out there I fell in love with the area, wish they had Ebikes in the early 2000’s when I was living in that area it would have helped and I probably would have stayed if I had access to Ebikes back then.

Cool bike and great upgrades but it's the commentary and history and chit the make the video. This chit head appreciates the work you put in.
I grew up in Richmond in the 80/90's too, and went to school in el cerrito. Shout out to the east bay.

Its much more comfortable than the M20 seat. I was still doing fine after the ride minus the weight of the backpack making my lower back a bit sore.
That'd be a project for you. Buy a front hub kit for that bike and make it a dual motor.

Do you happen to know the BMS amp limit on the frame pack?
That I don't know.. sorry
@shootthechit Never hurts to ask. Thank you.
Can you do this same range test again at a higher tire PSI? I think it would make a difference. Thanks.
Hahaha.
Do another range test, using the batteries one after the other. You ll get an higher range, because there ll be no energy loss to the battery blender in such scenario.
Oh man, I probably wont be doing that range test again anytime soon lol
