I always hear about the goobers that buy a bike that's way more expensive and capable than their skill level.... But they never seem to come into my shop. I'd really like to find those guys, haha
🙋♂
We still "Learn" about our capabilities either with/without an E-Bike, then we adjust.
Deep.
allso who abule to cycal up steeper hill then thay can roll down , not convinced this realy happend
@@alickomay7088 abule?
I gained 15 lbs since I got my ebike too but that's because I can haul more junk food back from the store on it
LOL
Great video, thanks !!
wait if your bike pushes you farther than your legs let you go, wouldn't the same post-rest bit of extra stamina apply to ebikes just the same? you're up on the mountain and catch yourself being weak on the descent, stop at a nice spot for fifteen minutes, do the rest of the descent with a bit fresher legs. also gaining weight isn't always bad, although 15 pounds may be a bit much depending on whether or not you come from any malnourished state beforehand. in that case even 15 pounds is fine. i'm also the heaviest i've ever been, but ride 6-8 times a week and feel fantastic. (not yet on ebikes)
Resting for 15 minutes would defeat the purpose of riding faster in the shortest amount of time 😅.
@@MacRogersrealestatebroker oh yeah fair enough
@@markifi 👍
I don't think I will ever switch from human-powered bikes to EBikes (might concede that later in life I will use a mobility "quad-bike").
Therefore I haven't paid much attention to the video.
But as click-bait goes, the thumbnail is a work of art. Thanks. Always good to have a laugh 👍😀
Fair enough. I actually was targeting to get an ebike in my 70s but got sucked into it (willingly) 🤣. I think people should just chill out and ride what they want and just have fun instead of getting pissed off about something that has nothing to do with them.
Thanks for the complement on the thumbnail. 😁
Motor cutting off is jarring indeed - it is jarring how much of the work the motor was handling. It is because how natural the help of the motor feels after few minutes - it feels like it is not doing all that much (on low settings )
I dissagree that the motor doesn't matter - my brother has bafang bbs02 - which doesn't detect the pedal force - It is fun don't get me wrong but you definitely feel how unnatural the power comes from, which is different from the integrated mid drives. On the matter of newton meters- yea id doesn't matter.
Thank you. I agree with you. "The motor doesn't matter was too strong of a statement" 😬. I think when you get to spend time on one specific motor you get used to it.
I lost an insane amount of weight because I got an ebike, I've been riding all winter (I got it last November)
Where you riding a regular bike before? I'll eventually get there.
i think this video more about MTBs...i think for normal city cyclin ebike is better
@@MacRogersrealestatebroker I hadnt been on a bicycle in 10 years prior
@@NorthSea-xb7jk That is correct👍. BUT don't 🙅♂call it MTB because some people get triggered😱. They don't think a bike with a motor belongs on the trail with them.🤦♂ Thanks for watching.
@@bikemaine that makes sense. 😊
I think you're talking about me 😜. My ebike makes me over estimate my skill level or lack there of. But if u ain't crashin u ain't tryin'... btw grab MTX gold for your front brakes, they last longer and better than galfer in terms of stopping power and life my opinion, keep the rear stock👍🏽 see u on our next ride 🤜🏾
Opps. Sorry. 🤣 I thought it was "if you ain't cheatin, you still down the hill 😱".
My main concern with e-MTB would be what happens when the battery dies. Some of them have non-removable batteries, some companies are still not selling extra batteries, and what would be the cost.
Yes that is true. For my Santa Cruz Heckler, the only way I can get a new battery is if mine dies. I asked Santa Cruz directly if I can get an extra one and they said they don't have any in stock which to me defeats the purpose of having a removable battery.
I have a trekking ebike (2. gen Bosch) for 8 years now which has around 10k km (200-250 loading cycles) on it. I could run it for around 50km on the highest setting when i bought it. Now it still lasts more than 45km if not even more. I would say that the battery doesnt die of old age alone. Luckily i have the standard battery which i could even use for some of the actual Bosch ebikes. Thats why i would always buy a bike with a parts from known brand so that you can buy parts for it by yourself and dont have to rely on the bike company. Over here in Europe some of the "high end" bike companies using nonstandard parts have gone broke and the costumers were left standing in the rain.
@@grayssoncarl5020 50KM sounds about right. So far my max have been 40KM.
good video, but the numbers told are different from what's written on the screen and it's a bit distracting to the point i had to rewind 4 times to get the stats.
Sorry about that.
Could not disagree more.
Riders overestimating themselves is not the bike's fault. They might as well climb on their own power and descend with sore legs.
Also, lack of exercise is proven wrong. Whatever made you gain weight, it was not the bike. It was your desire to cut ride time. Imagine cutting it by switching to a car. You would have gained even more weight.
And my last point: my wife got an ebike (cheap one with hub motor). There is no range anxiety, because only mid-engines hold you back when the battery dies, hub engines let you go on.
And my bike (without assist) is heavier than hers. Because it's me sitting on it, I am approx. 30 kg (that's roughly 66 BS-units) heavier than her, that's more than her whole bike weighs in the first place.
Wear is a thing, but not due to the bike itself, but because you don't just flow with traffic, you do downhill, that's a little aggressive to your components.
I am not able to say whether your comment is a fair response, but it seems perfectly reasonable (and scientific). And it did save me from having to digest the entire video. But this is the first time that I saw Imperial weights expressed as you have (as opposed to good-old worldwide S.I. units) . Gave me a laugh, thanks. 😀
@@JohnPreston888 Thanks, I simply couldn't write it without any comical elements.
I am a little confuse about your response. They were able to get to the very top because of the assistance. They would never have gotten there if it was their own power. They would have gotten tired.
As for exercise, my point is this and maybe I did not make it clear on the video. If I am still riding my regular bike I would be more careful or more concern about my weight gain. I'm not because there is no added pressure when I am climbing because of the assist. However, because I really don't like the way I look, the way I feel and the way my clothes fit me know, I'm starting a health and exercise plan to lose the weight(RAPIDLY). I'm tempted to do a video on that but I think it might bring viewers that are not into ebikes.
As for wear, I did mention in the beginning that when I say ebikes I mean E mountain bikes.
Range anxiety might not be real for you but every e mountain biker I know talks about it and at some point worry about it.
@@MacRogersrealestatebroker I know it's about e mtb, because I wrote that you kinda ride aggressively, because that's the definition of riding mtb.
And the fact that the weight gain doesn't bother you when riding an e mtb does by no means mean that it comes from using an e mtb.
The newbe argument is also an weak one. If you tend to overestimate yourself, then you would do that on a regular bike as well - and reach the top on your very last leg.
That's not the bike's fault.
Think of driving a sports car. If you speed in it, then it still isn't the car's fault, it's yours. Same goes with e mtbs.
Although it must be said that the temptation is way higher when riding with assistance.
But the decision is still yours to make. You wouldn't tell people skiing to climb manually instead of using the lift, would you?
@@sebastiandomagala9233 True.
Simple equation: each 200Wh battery charge equals to 100g body fat ... not burned!
🤯🤯🤯I don't know where you got that info but I believe it. 🤣
Source? Interesting
@@kalef1234 You need a source for such a simple calculation, based on fundamental (high)school knowledge? 🤣🤦♀
@@InderNett4tube damn I bet you are a lot of fun to be with
@@InderNett4tube just calculated it based on 1g fat containing 8.37wh of energy (~30kJ) it's actually around 24g of fat. So you were wrong anyway sweetie
ebikes putting the unexperienced fools into more danger isnt a problem, that being an organ donor is not mandatory for them is.
🤣😱
Analog vs. Ebike... BS! Bicycle vs. Moped! Let's quit trying to church it up! Be an adult and call it like it is!
I personally don't care if anyone calls it a moped or a motorcycle. It is a bicycle with a motor so it is a motor-cycle. I'm curious though, why do you "care" so much or why does it bother you that it's called an ebike?
PS: I'll be taking my ebike/moped/motorbike to Tahoe this season. 😬
@MacRogersrealestatebroker an acoustic guitar and an electric guitar, are both guitars, but a bike with a motor is not a bicycle! When you call a bicycle an "analog bike," you are blurring the line between motor and no motor. That's what I don't like!
@MacRogersrealestatebroker Bicycles are beautiful, and motors are not!
@@TahoeYakFisher I like your analogy. 😇
@@TahoeYakFisher I didn't care much for the first iterations of ebikes. Now I think the designs are getting better.
