Man it's pretty bold to be riding those things at those speeds in shorts and tees. My husband hit a deer on his motorcycle right out of our driveway going maybeee 35 and his arm was hamburger where he slid. Road rash is nothing to scoff at.
@@GoHerping There's some good options around if you look at motorcycle/motocross gear for some pants with aramid/kevlar in them that you can still comfortably use in the heat. I've had motorbikes since I was 10, but those electric things scare me. Enjoy though, happy to see you happy. :)
I've been watching your channel for years and I love that your content went from reptiles and herping to ebikes and other hobbies of yours. Your personality is honestly so refreshing and you make even the simplest things into something intriguing and interesting to watch!
That wobble might go away with more air pressure to get the bead to correctly seat in the rim. It isn't uncommon to have to inflate new tires beyond the sidewall pressure to get them seated, then back down the pressure for riding. It is also possible the tires are poorly constructed with one bead shorter than the other.
That wheel wobble comes with crappy bike tires- not to mention that you don’t need to balance bike tires like you do car tires for high speed stability. If you can find some Maxxis or Kenda fat tires that will fit in the bike they’ll be WAY smoother.
I bought an EKX X20. The knobby like tires were thin and kind of loud. I replaced them with Alps2Ocean tires. A little heavier so I lost 3mph top speed but they are smooth and quiet. I believe they are 60tpi so they are pretty puncture resistant. Almost went with an actual motorcycle tire for puncture resistance they they are much heavier. Good luck and stay safe.
Might be good to use hand signals for turning. Especially on the road. Also your wheels might be out of true! You can get that fixed at a bike shop or do it yourself with the right tools.
I could be wrong because again I don't have one of these but it might be that you need to reform the tire into the rim a bit more snug. Sometimes when you put an inner tube inside a tire and inflated the tire will come up out of the rim a little bit making it wobble when you ride. So again I suggest deflating your tires and then trying to squeeze the side walls of the tire and then push the tire into the rim a bit more.
I bouth this bike a few months ago. I am an aggressive fuckin rider! I put the damn thing through thick and thin. Really pushing its limits. You touching anything past 37 miles per hour is a pipe dream as the bike caps and peaks at 37 even with the wheels lifted off the ground. The bike is rather fragile for the way it looks, and the way the bottom battery attaches to the fram is a design flaw. the screws holding the bottom battery will eventually break if the bike shakes and wobbles too much. Aggressive riding means only the top battery can be on, and i wish i knew that sooner. BUT on the flip side, the bike is extremely resilient, a very solid means of transportation with satifying accelerations. Dont push this bike beyond its off road limits and you should really enjoy having this is your garage.
I don't like Ebikes at all, but I actually like this one. I like the keycard thing maybe because I'm just scared of parking it and getting it stolen, over all good review herping!
Even people with 400lb motorcycles don't tend to leave their bikes out of sight for long because people will steal 'em. I can't imagine an electric bicycle is much safer just because it has a keycard. This electric bike content is so much fun though. I almost wish I didn't have a car that needs regular maintenance drives because a bike like this would be so much fun around town
You can see in your video that it’s out of round. Looks like a flat spot in the tire possibly from setting flat during shipping. Just spin it and focus your eyes on one spot and see where it’s out of round. If it’s the rim you can true the wheel but if it is the tire your SOL and you’ll need a new tire.
If you click the button 6 times it should turn the nfc card off. I forgot exactly if it’s 6 or not but some old gentleman had a video about it. I can’t figure out how to turn off the restrictor/ governor to make it go faster though, any luck with that?
Ur tires are wobbling cuz u need to set the bead. Make sure ur tires are completely even around the rim, turn upside down pump up and push the tires down to even out the beads, along the entire rim. That will make ur tires even the whole way around ur rims
I've been riding scooters for decades. The step through motorcycle kind. The top speed on this is right up there with a 49cc scooter. I've come to prefer electric vehicles and have been looking at electric scooters, but something like this would be more affordable. Though the wobbly wheels are a problem...
Don’t find yourself picking asphalt out of your skin man.. I know it gets hot out there, I ride a CBR that sits at 220 degrees in traffic but the pain of road rash is not ever something I want to feel again
Me watching this review because I want this bike purely because I LOVE how it looks and the vintage style. But unsure of the specs and other features are good enough to justify it 😂
the wheel might be out of true. meaning the spokes are too tight or too loose. bike shops will usually fix that for you and the wheels should be perfectly straight again unless the tires are wonky
You can disable the keycard activation . There’s a whole list of functions not included in the manual for some reason . If anyone has questions let me know
Just ordered the motor goat v3. It's a similar style but it's got a stronger motor and battery combo. Room for a second battery that they sell and its about $2500. Would love to see a review if you ever got a chance
Hi some bike are shipped with cheep tyres and this affects the balance shown on your video. Also if you change the handle bars I recommend motorcycle type and light, this will change the look and handling of the bike. Enjoy😊
Id suggest this or a ridstar or rev1. G100 sits at 35' from the ground. Ridstar sits at 36" and then the rev1 is 34" i believe. Some have said pedal to seat height could be better when trying to use pas.
im 5'5" and would say im just tall enough that it's comfortable. so 5'3 would be doable, but yeah you won't be reaching the ground very easily lmao. it consistently rides at 36-38mph, i got it to touch 40 a couple times without modification. also helps that im light
@@GoHerping ive been eyeballing one on Facebook marketplace for a great price and have been unsure with the height haha. 😭 i definitely want to be able to touch the ground with my feet at least a little bit 💀
@@remitheoccultist8091I’m 5’3 and I’ve driven this model before. Ngl it’s a bit heavy and I had to start off leaning just to have a foot on the ground before pushing off but once I was riding it was smooth and fun. Even with my height and the weight of it , I’m still considering getting one for myself
I talked to my local PD (Colorado) and they classify it as an electric moped in its unlocked mode. And my neighbor has one and doesn't have the weirdness you have with your wheel
It sounds like it's basically an electric motorcycle, which happens to have cycling pedals. Although I notice in the video you're not actually using the pedals, and it doesn't look ergonomically ideal to have your legs asymmetrical like they have to be with bike pedals. Why don't they just put pegs on and sell it as an electric motorbike?

@@GoHerping I can't be out here calling people stupid. I was wondering why my iced tea tasted spicy earlier and the answer was ants.
I currently have road rash right now from crashing my ebike while wearing shorts and flip flips. It's the third day since and it's not fun at all lol
Hahah, I have seen some with ALL the gear with Flipflops!! Do your feet not count??

thank you :D
That wheel wobble is pretty noticeable. YOu can even hear it around 2 minutes with the side profile.
That wobble might go away with more air pressure to get the bead to correctly seat in the rim. It isn't uncommon to have to inflate new tires beyond the sidewall pressure to get them seated, then back down the pressure for riding. It is also possible the tires are poorly constructed with one bead shorter than the other.

Bike wheels do need to be trued though. It would be worth checking that first.
@Purplesquigglystripe I told him that in a DM haha- any truing stand suggestions?
I don't get why less people watch your vids nowadays, they are just a vibe ngl
His whole subscriber base subbed to a Reptile channel, you really don't get it??
@juliosanchez2411 he explained it in so many videos, that he has moved on
@@somebodynamedJ.exactly and so have all the other people we came to see reptiles
The algorithm makes you just forget channels exist.

Gotta finish all the side quests first. That’s how it works

these kind of videos where you just ride around on bikes or your one wheel and talk are so fun to watch, chill but still interesting to see :)

Get a tire spoke wrench and you can correct the wheel wobble.
What are out of both tires when you get home and try and squeeze the tire into the rim a little bit more snug

Oh man when that person backing up almost hit you my heart dropped to my butt 😱
yeah lol. though that was probably on me tbh

Good platform to convert it to 72v, swap out for an 8kw QS273, & a Molicel battery from Powerful Lithium!! Pedals keeps you under the radar…
You can disable the keycard activation . There’s a whole list of functions not included in the manual for some reason . If anyone has questions let me know
Have you tried any of the Specialized ebikes? They’re pedal assist only but so nice to ride
Sir you took the waffle wheel express out with SHORTS ON? What happened to wear long pants?
i was at the beach and it was hot :(

Commenting to feed the algorithm! Love the content too 😉
I love the vintage look! And I’m not old I swear 😂😂😂
Oh oh maybe it’s designed for women? Lol
5:00 The term your looking for is cafe racer
ohhhh. yep
Sounds like the front wheel is out of true. That can be adjusted and fix, if you know what you’re doing.
Were you able to get a replacement tire from happyrun?
I wasn't, but it's actually currently at a bike shop and they've been doing some work on it - so a new vid should be up within a few weeks!
I need one
Hi,
How tall are you? Trying to gauge if it would fit me at 5'11".
Id suggest this or a ridstar or rev1. G100 sits at 35' from the ground. Ridstar sits at 36" and then the rev1 is 34" i believe. Some have said pedal to seat height could be better when trying to use pas.
13:50: it's leg day. :)
(hi Mom, hi Dad!)
What animal was @2:31
i didn't even notice that while editing lol. a squirrel
Can u give us a update on the reptiles
Also homes, my current hypothesis is that the tread is laid over the yellow tube part poorly
Is this bike for tall riders? Im 5’3” lol. Also, is top speed 40mph stock?
im 5'5" and would say im just tall enough that it's comfortable. so 5'3 would be doable, but yeah you won't be reaching the ground very easily lmao. it consistently rides at 36-38mph, i got it to touch 40 a couple times without modification. also helps that im light

nice video! just commenting to say im till here watching and youtube likes when people comment ;p
Old Skool is New Kool :)
Sports car or ebike? Honestly a hard choice, also depends on what you trying to do.
I don't understand the motorcycle tank. It just gives a cop an excuse to pull you over.
It's a batterytank. I'm my city, Chicago, the cops don't bother you long as you have pedals and operate safely
👀 if you take the wheels to a bike shop they will be able to straighten them for you, it shouldn't cost all that much
I love it ❤
“Only have mountain bike trails”
NC problems 😭
Ill buy it on installment plans? 😂
I would get that wheel traded in. It seems defective
You can ride it without pedals in bike areas, but you must be licensed with a special, non-reoccuring licensing. Laws are very strange and evolving.
Good video
good
Someone's been sleeping on leg day lol
Love your videos honey❤
hi :)
for this price its actually a good deal
sonic ebikes in 420 years from now
didnt you drop the shit out of it tho in the unboxing vid
i did lol. though the wheel wasn't on yet
It looks more like a Cafe racer or scrambler than an electric bike.
looks strangely familiar to the motor goat.
motor goat looks a lot like the super 73 but i do feel this one is a bit different. though surely same inspiration
engagement
YIPPEEE
Dude it looks like this because it’s a dupe of super 73 bikes
thats pretty darn cool, i bet it cost 5k
$1700 :0
There's no way this is legal in the UK
I have the G100 and the bike is not a 40 mph e-bike. To be honest, the bike barely gets 29 mph.
i imagine it's partly based on condition and the rider. i was cruising 35 in this video, touching 40 once or twice
Not a nice color combo. Style is pretty good tho
It's a shame that the 2 bikes they sell are absolutely hideous.
yeahhhh... it's definitely a style
Try the Goat bike
I ride bike, weather permitting. TMDWU toobz.
The motor goat v3 looks better
I don't like this E-bike! 🤨😐😡
