Hi RUclips Fam! Are you wondering how the Super73 RX Mojave handles long range commutes in the freezing cold? Ride along with me as I travel from Queens through Brooklyn and finally into Manhattan while carrying about 60lbs of things for work. In this video you'll get to see how the RX holds up under real world conditions with a 250lb+ rider in freezing temperatures! Thank you for watching, I appreciate you.

Thanks for watching this one as well Chris! Take your time and enjoy! 🙏🏼
It's been getting down to 19° here in Reno on my rides, & thank God I really planned & invested in good budget friendly winter gear, I wear a snow pants/bib combo, wind breaker, winter jacket, insulated Balaclava, heated gloves, thermal socks, handlebar mitts & a full helmet, I can ride 2-3 hrs & feel fine.
The Snow Pants were like $35 on Amazon, Arctrix brand or something like that(Amazon), the insulated balaclava & handlebar mitts are Rock Bros.(On Amazon)
I just bought an insta360 X3 to start filming my rides, I have 3 e-Bikes & ride full time, so might as well film my crazy & interesting rides here in Reno! 😂
I'm glad you're prepared for the rides because it gets brutal when it starts dipping below 20. We've just had a few days like that and I'm so happy I invested in cold weather gear! It maybe bulky and a pain in the ass to get on and off but it beats taking the NYC Subway! Good luck with the filming! It's always fun recording and trying to catch the crazy stuff we see. If you're looking for a good setup video check out @erockrodz . He just did a video on his setup and it really helped me out!
Luvin' the vid! Just got my Super73 so don't have the confidence that you have through the streets, but I'll get there! Great set up too!
Thanks, I appreciate the positive feedback! Congrats on your new super73, you’re gonna love it. As you get more comfortable, it gets easier and easier to ride with traffic 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼
20:00 When riding in bus lanes try not to parallel the bus in its blind spot. Its an easy way to get taken out
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Cant wait to ride with u bro🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👍👍👍
Same sir! it'll be a heck of a ride when it does happen!
that opening statement ...i felt that in my bones xD lol
Yeaaa, it was one of those days lol 😂
clean vid! loved this ride
Thanks for watching the video and welcome to the channel Jason. I appreciate ya! 🙏🏼
the key is wind blocker thing for your leg.
thanks for watching the video and the feedback! I got myself some ski pants lined with fleece and I just bring my suit trousers in my backpack
Nice video! Be safe!
Thanks Jeff, glad you liked it! Ride safe man! 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼
Great vlog. Used to live over the river from you in Hoboken. Back in the UK now and have the Super 73 rx. I've done the torque update but it's been too wet to try it out. Is there a noticeable difference? Keep up the great work.
Thanks for watching the video and the support, I appreciate ya! Hoboken is an awesome place to live because it's so close to the city, the food scene is amazing, and is quite a beautiful area. How are you finding living in the UK compared to Hoboken? There's definitely a noticeable difference when using the throttle. In my first impressions video there's a chart I put up and I believe it's a 12-25% increase in acceleration. You'll really notice it from 5-25mph. I feel that some of the videos exaggerate when they say "it wants to fly out from under you". I was pleasantly surprised by the update. Thank you again, I'll do my best to keep up with the weekly releases!
@@eyebahnrides Thank you. I'm originally From England but loved in Hoboken for 12 years. Really miss Hoboken. Still my spiritual home. Keep up the great work with the vlogs. 👍🏼👍🏼
My commute over the Williamsburg Bridge. Someday I switch up and go over the BK or Manhattan bridge.
I've gotta try the BK or Manhattan Bridge. I tend to just keep going over the same things over and over again lol
@@eyebahnrides Manhattan bridge has some construction work going on in the bike lane so be careful.
The BL bridge is now separated. The new bike lanes are on the same level with the cars going into manhattan. There is a concrete barrier and fencing
@@BattleRidesNYC looking forward to scoping them out on my next long commute. I’ve been looking for a new route 🙏🏼
Ivan, just going back on the videos till the new one comes out. Just wanted to say I love your commentary is absolutely magnificent! I do have one question though, is your mic on the inside of the helmet or under the jacket? Your so crisp and clear on every single video. I noticed a velcro strip I can put on the inside front on my helmet and I have been wanting tonask you if that's where you put yours? I understand if that's your secret.... lol.
Ride That Tasty Wave
Thanks for going down the list lol, I hope you can see some sort of progress as we get to the newer episodes 🙏🏼! hahaha no secrets here, please use whatever information I'm putting out to help. It was thanks to my fellow RUclipsrs I have the set up I have . If you look at my newer videos you can see its off to the side a little. When I had it directly in the front of the helmet and it sounded good but it kept picking up my breathing. I thought it was kinda creepy to hear that sooooo I moved it off to the side. Depending on the helmet I'm wearing, I control the audio gain on my camera. For example, I'll kill the gain on my Icon Airflite, but I'll boost the gain on my POC Coron, and I'll keep it neutral on the TSG Pass Pro. You can really see the cable running up the mount in the intro of this video: ruclips.net/video/8VSskCEmb_o/видео.html
Also, the microphone I use is Purple Panda Lavelier Mic Kit: amzn.to/3I3UA3w
I hope this helps!
@@eyebahnrides I'm loving all your videos I'm also working my way from recent to old. If you're anything like you are now when you started.... there's only up for you from here brother. All I can say is keep it up and I can't wait to see where you go and I'm glad to be along for the ride with you.
Ride That Tasty Wave
relaxing video :D ty bro. btw that cold will the battery give less? power/miles
Thanks for watching, much appreciated! Based on what I've been told, the cold affects the range and the batteries ability to provide power for the motors. As a result, we see shorter rides and slower speeds.
Dig your videos...got a question, are you running the Blain handlebar?
welcome and thanks for watching one of the first videos on the channel, I'm glad you enjoyed it! Yup, I'm using the Blain handlebars in this video. However, I recently made the switch to the stock RX handlebars because it's more comfortable for my back. You'll see it in the video I'm releasing on April 5th.
@@eyebahnrides I got into e-bikes just about a year ago and had my heart settled on a Super 73. Your channel was one of the first I came across and I've literally watched all of your content. I was looking at the Blain bar, but ultimately settled on the low-rise enduro bar (my back be damned!). Thanks for the feedback...looking forward to your future content! Thanks from California...
@@BrianByers-pj2zj I appreciate ya! More power to you if your back can handle it lol. I have a buddy I ride with that has the cafe racer bars that DROP the handles. He loves it but my back hurts from watching him lol
@@eyebahnrides I was actually thinking about doing that...haha! Ok, so after about 50 odd miles with the new bars, I can report that all is A-OK on my end. I definitely LOVE the aesthetics and feels more "planted" to me if that makes sense.
I’m actually looking for some heated gloves. Do the gloves you have actually work with touch screens? My current gloves got worn out and the touch screen fabric doesn’t work anymore smh
Also, is it easy to ride with 1 finger hovering over the brakes with these gloves?
To be honest I haven’t gotten to try if it does since I don’t really operate my phone when I’m riding. I’ll try when I get home tonight.
As for ease of use with one finger on the brake and one on the throttle, it’s a yes. The inside doesn’t feel so loose like Some of my other gloves. I also feel like I can properly grip the handle bars without that annoying feeling of excess fabric scrunching at the palm.
@@eyebahnrides what size did you get?
@@khanrides so the thumb and pointer finger worked with my iPhone even with the tempered glass. I got the my normal glove size which is large.
Bro what’s the name of these gloves trying to pick some up, thank you chief
Thanks for watching, I appreciate ya. Here’s the link for the gloves. Wasoto Heated Gloves: amzn.to/3VlwHYP .
I’ve returned and exchanged a few before deciding to try these out. They’ve been really good and have held up to daily riding!
Which speedometer app do you use?
App is called “Speed GPS”. I chose because it showed up really nicely on camera with the large numbers. I also liked that I could scale it to 60mph and there’s a ring around it that shows how close we get.
Do you worry about battery fire?
Nope. I took the time to learn how to take care of my battery and I do my best to buy PEVs that use quality battery cells.
@@eyebahnrides ....me too.... most battery fires are human caused,.. the one I know of personally is.....the guy wanted to charge battery quicker so he bought a stronger bigger charger, and changed the connecting plug from one to the other....15 minute's and she went up like a gas fire....he had a chemical fire extinguisher on hand.... still burnt the floor pretty good....stink was unbearable.... incense
brother what action camera do you use
Thanks for dropping by and watching the video! On this video I was using an Insta360 one RS with the 360 mod on. On my newest video on the S73 you can see my new set up. Hope this helps!
thank bro
