you must not have an e-bike!
@@BIKINGWITHBOBO What music did you used at 3:42 sounds sick
Last month, I dug up my old mountain bike after a decade of not riding. I wanted to be able to ride to the next town, so I went to a local bike shop to ask about conversion kits.
Now I know why the employees were so evasive 🤣
Hey there! I just stumbled upon a new project called Morph e-bike, and it seems really interesting. It's a 2-in-1 eBike by freebeat that can be charged indoors, which is pretty impressive. I love the idea of being able to ride both indoors and outdoors with just one bike. The Morph eBike also has a powerful motor, suspension, and puncture-resistant tires, making it perfect for various terrains. Plus, the Smart Saddle Detection+ feature sounds amazing for fitness tracking and motivation. I can't wait to give it a try and experience the benefits firsthand!
"you know the best part is being out of shape and blowing by people in shape"
"god damet"
Round is a shape....😏
Grrr
Very funny vid but I'm actually careful not to blow by people on regular bikes. I have no problem dialing it back and waiting till they stop (every 3 to 5 min ;) to slowly pass while pretend I'm struggling mightily. OK sometimes I turn the motor off and sprint by and then I am actually hurting but that's fair, right?
@@joshevans3452 lol
“I cannot wait for his battery to die” 😂😂😂
That’s why I don’t like AXS I just want to hop on my bike and go.
I rode a normal bike and and my mum and her Friends rode a e bike i i asked how long thay lasted thay said 40km so we did 60 but at the 39 I mark it did indead die on them
BUT THAT BASTARD had more batery on him we went a average of 25 km/h on the straits I had to ask them to slow down at the end wich hurts a lot never drove that much in a day befor
This is the exact sentence that ran through my mind last week on the trail. Hahaha.
He won’t be going anywhere!
Backup battery's are 50% if you buy it with the bike
"hitting jumps on the climb" hahahaha love that
Jumps on the climb is not even a joke. Loving my YT decoy 😆
Uphill flow
Someone literally did this past me today. Almost cried.
@@6969Ozzie oof
58
My dads 65 and still on a normal bike doing red and black trails with me, its given me a huge respect for him. I can only imagine that it gets harder and harder as the years go on.
What I've learned from riding trails with my e-MTB friend is that e-MTB is really a separate sub-category of mountain biking. It is an entirely different experience, more akin to dirt biking. You can accelerate uphill and make short work of even the steepest climbs by tapping the enormous torque of the electric motors. The motor just changes the whole experience of a trail. It's not better or worse, just different. I personally am sticking with MTBs because I like the exercise and the lightness and simplicity of regular bikes.
I do exactly what you described. Ascended incredibly steep hills without dismounting, something a regular mtb would never even consider. You're definitely pouring a ton of energy, the motor is just an enabler to do something considered impossible for a regular mountain bike. You get the exercise if you push yourself to it. Hell, one downside, lugging the 50-60 pound bike around is plenty of exercise, helps your arms as well.
the thing is now they have the SL versions which are as light as a regular AL bike.. and you just... turn off the motor if you don't want to use it. It really is the future of biking.. it's like.. a derailer.. You don't have to switch gears, you can go up it in the hardest gear, but let's face it, you probably wont.. and you can get a good enough work out doing MORE laps an you'll get better at going downhill because you'll do it A LOT more.
@@_Jake.From.Statefarm_ A lot more expensive than a derailleur, but yeah, I agree it is the future.
And that’s fine if they stay in the motorcycle areas and OFF the mtb trails.
@@Chrismzeller lmao, yeah I can see you now, telling all the pros that ride them to go to the moto trails... They are nothing like motox, so why do you want them off the MTB trails? Have you ever even ridden one?
Ok I'm 58 years old and my son is 30 and his is a monster on the climbs , so I have a EMTB so I can stay with him and get some exercise. I have huge respect for non e bikers, there incredible.
I am 51 and my son is 12. I had knee replacement last summer... biking with him is going to be awesome!
im 28 now . when i was kid my grandpa was taking me to walk in the city . listen and learn how he talk to the strangers . and now i miss him so much .
i wish u all a nice moments with ur childrens .
@@MOLHAMSTAR definitely
I'm 55 and now ruptured my patella ligament. EMTB is the only way I can ride 5 months post surgery.
I’m 39 years old and fat. I’m getting a non e bike to sweat my ass off and get ripped.
1:48 "Wait, do you have a beer?"
"Hell yea I got a beer, why, you want one?!"
Lost it 😂😂
Drinking on the climb is the best
@@AverageKurtCooks(this is biased on the assumption we both mean a mild buzz, not baked or drunk.) I don't drink, but I enjoy cannabis(legal here.) I know they are completely different types of buzzes, alcohol you lose a bit of to a decent amount of hand eye coordination, weed going 5mph on a trail feels like warp speed(well on anything higher than a decent blue trail ) and reaction time will be somewhat to moderately slowed...In short I think it's fraking insane...BUT if riding with someone else, and not putting others at risk...do you mate.

Underated comment 🤣
You suck. The Twilight book series rocks

Twilight is such a low bar to clear, it's barely a tripping hazard
@@LoneHowler a mere chalk line on the ground
Was riding with my grandpa who is in his 60's and that guy has always been a monster riding. We were doing a climb and we watched as this 70 year old woman blew past him not even breaking a sweat and I watched as every shred of confidence left as this woman on an e bike rode past him
His ego was shattered.
An ebike passing him should give him confidence that he is doing the right thing and is probably in better shape.
Does he feel the same way when a dirt bike blasts by him?
E-bikes gave hope to all of us who are over 50 and wanted to experience again how wonderful MTB is. I am not ashamed when I go up and re-experience that incredible feeling of success conquering a top of a trail. excellent video!!!
Which is all great, but personally I feel it would feel even better accomplishing things without the need of a motorized bike at that age of 50. If I could re-experience that incredible feeling again at 50, then I'd want to do it under my own power. And If I can't accomplish all the same things at age 50 as I used to when I was 40 or 30 or 20, then I accept and respect that age is a factor.
hmm, I’m well over 50 and have no need of a motor…. 50 or 60 is not an excuse for being out of shape, barring of course injuries or illnesses…
I'm 66 y/o. As long as you have the right gearing, I see no need for an e-bike. Plus, how do the e-bike riders know if they are improving? Last year, I could do my favorite climb, while under my lactic threshold in 17:30. This year, I'm able to do it in 16:50. The e-bikers are missing out.
Exactly and it doesn't f****** matter if you had to exercise a little bit or a lot, the fact is you are enjoying yourself and getting exercise at the same time, and without an e-bike you wouldn't be able to do that experience at all. That's what it's about. If it was purely about exercising then biking is cheating in general because stationary bikes make you work harder, my point is it's not all about the exercise it's about the experience and while sure I wouldn't say you should bring a throttled e-bike and ride it around like a dirt bike, but if you are unable to pedal very hard, just using the pedal lightly for control and having the motor do most of the work and pedaling what you can when you can do it, it brings the capability of any trail nearby within your reach.
I rode a friend's ebike last year. Holy smokes I felt like superman no joke. I flew up hills like they were nothing. I love my non ebike but now I would ride/buy an ebike. They are amazing.
Once you ride one you love it
That "goddamnit" reaction was either BRILLIANTLY acted or 100% genuine. I can't tell which. 😂

It's the "he unfollowed me on strava" for me 😂
🤣🤣
I laughed so hard watching this!! I just got an ebike today. I LOVE IT! AS soon as I left the shop I planned on going home but I could not help myself, went so far along the ocean. It was awesome! There is no way I would have done that long ride on my old slow bike. My knees would have been shot and I would have been exhausted and it would taken me all day.
I would ride my regular old heavy trail bike to the gym and I would be slowly struggling up a hill and an 85 year old lady would fly by me on an ebike. I knew I had to get one. My ego could not take it anymore 😆
Do you mean the funny 3 wheelers old people in UK drive? xD bro...
Never been easier to drink beers on the climb
🍻
Worth the price of an ebike just for that! 👊🏼
I feel like I can do that without an e-bike too - I just get into the easiest gear, and pedal slow. That way I can get up almost any fire road without panting like a dog. I can hold a normal conversation with people on the climbs if we climb at that kind of pace, but having a 13kg XC bike might be helping with that a lot
with that reason fat people will get even fatter on ebikes.
HAHAHAHA
At nearly 50 I still have no interest in riding an ebike. But I must say the coolest guys I’ve met recently have been on ebikes; even when I give them crap for being younger then me. While enduro dudes for sure have the cool factor, and XC guys are the “roadies” on dirt (that’s me), the “spirit of the trail” is something we should all have in common. No matter what you ride get out and do trail work, be cool to hikers, equestrians, and each other.
Your missing out. DIY your present bike.
Haha, moped are fun but not for fitness
Amen! Great words!!!!!!
My wife and I are mid 50s and love the tough workout you get on a real mtb! For sure Ebikes have their place and much preferable to motorcycles on the trails as long as you can hear them coming!
@@yumyumbaboon My wife and I are also in our 50's. You can burn 1000 calories on an ebike and 1000 on a manual bike. I own both, but have found having control over my terrain greatly enhances that "REAL" bike experience you speak of. When the terrain controls me I don't get to as many new places, try as many new challenges nor have nearly as much fun, and at the end of the day that's what keeps us all riding.
PS: Just curious, are "real" mtb riders with $12k+ carbon fiber bikes that weight 15lbs less than my $2k non-ebike really "real" mtb-ers too??? They seem to be "enhancing" their real bike experiences, just in a different ($$$) way.
Honestly, my E-MTB is the best thing that has happened to me in years!
I gained a bunch of weight in the past few years and my Bike enables me to be active for so much longer!
Where a normal bike would trigger my asthma or bring me to exhaustion after not even 10km, I’ll easily go 20-30km.
It allows me to get out more, be in nature and most importantly: lose weight! Besides, getting out of the house at this time really helps me keep sane!
What’s the point of exerting myself once or twice without assistance and then growing bored, if a little motorized assistance can keep me motivated to get out and move whenever the sun is shining?
Can’t remember a day with good weather when I haven’t been out in the woods!
If anything though, having switched to an e-bike I now respect people with manual bikes so much more for their physical fitness and perseverance!
Im assuming that you have lost enough weight to be in a somewhat healthy shape. That technically means that with a manual bike, a lot of sweating and pedaling up the nasty hills you could have the impressive physics you talked about. This is just a reminder, no judgement… feel free to ride your ebike if you’d like to tho
@@the_letti0584
That's not how it works. It's a fallacy that many fit people fall into. Ramping up your fitness is a hard process. Not just mentally, but if you overdo it, your body actually takes harm. So, getting into it slowly (i.e. through an e-bike) is a very good and healthy way to get fitter. Your whole "harder excercise = better results" is medically nonsense.
@@the_letti0584 I have an E-Mtb. I usually rode my non electric mtb a few times a month due to the 2hr trip to where the trails starts and there is a 1800ft elevation change to get to the trails. I am putting down the same power to the crank, but get there in half the time. Total time spent on the E-bike are higher since i ride a lot more. Its more fun covering more distance.
E-Bikes are great. You can sweat just as much on an ebike, you just get to see twice as much scenery and vistas along the way.
Got a Specialized Turbo Levo late June. Best bike ever.
So glad I came across this "love story" video. So funny. And the tears whilst watching old times on the computer, well, I just laughed and laughed. Brilliant. Buying an e bike got me enjoying cycling again and every ride is a pleasure. Thanks for being so entertaining.
Love my ebike, really heavy but has got me back into the sport
sweet 🤘
Are you talking about yourself or the bike? 😂
Since when riding a moped is a sport?
@@Dziki_z_Lasu People have been racing mopeds for a long time. E-bikes aren't just mopeds though obviously and can be ridden no different than a normal bike if you choose.
@@bigcrackrock Who choose riding a heavy moped like a bicycle? Rather it is a nessesity for a dead battery situation, nothing more. E-bikes are terrible both as bicycles and mopeds, the only thing that gives them popularity is that they are treated as bicycles, so no road legality issues, bike paths and nature reserve riding.

How to buy your first E-MTB
Something about bike park Jerrys would be funny. Like preparing for your first day at the bike park and dropping big $ on a fancy jersey but your bike is broken and you're wearing running shoes. Or pitvipers.
Best mate whom you use to ride with all the time now has kids/baby. Wife never lets him out. When finally out brings child etc... No beers after ride as wife needs him home etc etc.... All I got - personal exp 😔🤣
Time to do eMTB vidz, I’ll definitely subscribe, it’s the future, great 👍 video
"STRAYVA"?!?! I thought it was "Strahva" haha
Golden! What a fun idea for a video, and executed so well! The best part by far was Bobo crying while looking at pictures of them riding tandem! 😂
0:45 That's true it depends on how much you pedal if you climb up a hill in turbo mode it's not a workout
Couldn’t be funnier. Well done. I bought a Heckler last year and you just summed up every thought and feeling that has come to my mind on EVERY ride in one video!
Ppl that hate e bikes remind me of my grandma telling me to turn down my rap music lol
I love getting comments from people with $2500 wheelsets complaining about EMTBs being to expensive lmao awesome video BOBO keep up that great work!
I do not understand what you mean 😂
I feel hit
Lol
Salt straight to the wounds :D
What?
I like that they’re friends. I want them to be happy.
Lmao! The way I’ve explained it to many people and friends that is I got my ebike for my mental state to ride for fun. I go to the gym, I run etc, but riding? I prefer it for fun and mental health, and my ebike satisfies that. Huge respect to the non ebikers, but I realized not every aspect of my life has to involve work and grinding.
That's a lovely mindset. No shame in a bit of fun
Yeah, I always joked to my friends saying ebikes are only for the weaklings, but when they ask me to recommend a bike for casual recreations and commutes, I would also tell them to get an ebike. It's great fun and easy to ride on
You don’t need to explain yourself to anyone,
you like it? That’s the only thing that matters
I’ve been mountain biking since the beginning, over 20k dirt miles when I stopped counting… I’m 56 now and I’ve earned a little help on the uphills.
I love my ebike.
I get people every once in a while saying, “that’s cheating,”
I tell them, “it’s not a race.”
Great video guys :D
I work delivering food on my bike and since I switched to eBike, it's so much better. But I do get *the look* from other riders sometimes haha
Yeah man, thats work - not sports ;)
I rode with an e-biker two days in a row, then met him for a third, longer ride .At the end of that day--a day where he waited for me a LOT--he told me, "Well, now I know where you're at physically. I know what shape you're in." And I haven't heard from him since. What, I'm in "can't keep up with a powered vehicle" shape? Of COURSE I cant keep up with you man! (Sorry...../rant)
Well mopeds come with a tool
and you didn't punch him in the face?
@@TheLOMTONG We were going uphill. I couldn't catch him to do that. lol
He sounds like a dick. He is not indickative of all electric fans. Pun intended.
What an asshole. Next time you see him throw a stick in his spokes, or steal his battery and throw it down the hill.
Crazy as it sounds I find the weight of the emtb to gives it a better ride in the gnar, not getting bounced around, stays more planted. I converted a Trek Farley and it’s a do it all bike. Commuting, cruising, trails, beach, snow. Anywhere. May. It be faster but takes me further. It’s game changing. Great video!
This is a scream! Getting an ebike next week and now will have some chuckles while on my first spin off road. More of this, guys, please!
I can't see myself riding a ebike. But the people that have a hard time with regular pedal bikes ....at least their getting out. Great video
More laps=more fun
There will always be a place for regular pedal bikes, especially after a Coronal Mass Ejection hits earth and the grid goes down in the post apocalypse, but until then my ebike is on order for delivery next month. These things are the new boss of the urban commute, as well as the trails.
@@jnavafb You may want to reconsider. You can vary the assist / output of the motor, even ride with it off if you want. I both exercise and commute on mine, and it works great in both capacities.
usually they are not old or something. when i was climbing some hills, only families with their kids ( and expensive e bikes for everyone of them ) or other young people with ebikes passed me.
i hate them all. ^^
older people usually ride something like a touring bike with and without motor.
@@AverageKurtCooks sure if you like staying in the same out of shape state then great, good for you . E-assist everything soon , e-walking ,e-running, e-breathing etc. etc. 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️.
" you got a beer?"
"Hell ya I got a beer, ya want one?"😂😂🤣🤣

Bought my first Specialized Turbo Levo in 2016. Huge proponent of Ebikes. Whether your buddy is on board or not... they are here to stay. Brings a smile to my face on every ride!!!!
🤘
I love it! My friends have a problem with me having an ebike. This is hilarious
Had me laughing! "Is that a beer?!" LOL! Hilarious. I don't ride an eMTB but I don't have a problem with those who do. The day will come when I will likely need or want to. What I can't stand is the jerks that need to turn something this trivial into a culture war. My dad rides an eBike and if it weren't for that he wouldn't be riding at all. I applaud him for keeping at it at his age and anyone else who's still moving at a very experienced age!
So much this... I like the near heart-attack at steep climbs, where I live I need to plan my tour carefully to get that feeling. But the mom who has to get her groceries home after work may not share the sentiment, and there's no need for her to do so.
ah I do, unless you're completely immobile and want to ride
Yep all very true...but I also went to the Dark Side and bought an SL. Awesome bike!!
I have Neuropathy in my Feet, Can't Walk 4 Yards, and I've been laying around for Years, Slowly Dying, Depression, Pain, Fat and Hopeless... I Invested Everything on my Scott Voltage 750....

I know the feeling , still old school like the pain of climbing and enjoying the work and fun on the down. Enjoyed the video it was funny.
no pain no fun
My girl and I, both in our fifties, would struggle up hills cursing and heaving while putting shit on the ebike cheats stopping only to manage our runaway heart rates when we heard some whippersnappers on analogues say that by the time you’re forty you’ve earned an ebike.
We completed the trail, whinged about how fucked we were and went and ordered ebikes. We haven’t stopped grinning since. Those hills seem so less daunting and the downhills just as much fun. Plus the added juice gets us up and over the tough spots easier. Love my ebike.
yea.im not in the sport but.thwy wwre right, once you're a certain age, you earned an easier life.
Nothing wrong with that and you deserve to enjoy what you have always enjoyed. Its the young ones who opt for easy when they should over come hard. There is a confidence that comes with that, Kids these days only know arrogance, Not all of them of course but a growing number every year.
Hell ya I got a beer, I’m gonna ride 30 miles back in to town and get another one.
...drinking beer while towing on the incline hade me....LMAO...

"Hell Yea I got a beer! Why?" 😂Love it guys!
been mtbiking since the 80s and had stroke last year and heart attack with 3 stents inserted recently...thought it the end of my riding days till some one introduce me emtb.....THANK YOU VERY MUCH ! that all i can say.

I have been riding my ebike for the past year. It is the reason i even started riding again I don't have time in my life to go riding anymore, until i built my ebike now i ride daily to work 16 miles and love every second... only drive if the weather is bad
This video hits home and had me laughing so hard, I just bought an e-bike last Saturday good job guys. 😆
Enjoy 🤘🏻
Funny thing about the Levo SL shown in the video: it's incredibly light, so even if the battery died, he will be not much slower than the rest.
And speaking from experience, with an SL you still do your fair share of work uphill
I have a Levo and I agree, uphill is still lots of work! 72 yo, knee replacement 5 months ago, I wouldn't be riding anything but rail trails if I didn't have an e-bike!
When his buddy got him an ebike, I cried… with joy…
In all honesty, you deserve much more subscribers. That's why I'm subscribing to your channel this moment. One thing I tell bikers that don't have e bikes, "I've peddled enough all my life, it's time to enjoy bike riding more".
Amen to that 🤘
hahaha a lot of people in comments section hating on ebikes. it is the future, if you don't adapt you'll be left behind. literally...
2 mtb riders , those who hate ebikes and those who rode one and then bought one and love them
30 minutes before Dark...E-Bikers be like "There's plenty of time to ride" then when there battery is dead- "Bro I got no time to ride"
I worked at an e-bike shop for a couple years part time. Don't own one myself but I can definitely understand why people would want one. They eally help folks get out there more, not everyone has the time to be an athlete. Idk why some people let what others do bother them so much.
And they really help destroying the environment faster. But hey at least now people can go mountainbiking with much less effort.
@@kay1975 more people biking and replacing miles and time in a car far replaces the environmental negatives of an ebike battery's manufacturing and material sourcing
@@kay1975 Bikers were not welcome in forests at first as well, the forest animals are not enjoying their presence. Talk about destroying environment...
It's not about the work out. I recently got an e bike, very pleased with it. Over 20 years I've cycled, only forty and never have I built up muscle or hardly any strength In the legs.im in reasonably good shape, but notice a huge difference, with a pedal bike out of breath feel exhausted all the time, knees are crying out in pain. More than I think they should be. Totally different on the e bike, after a ride my legs don't feel tired, and getting on and off is far easier. Not sure if I've just always had weak knees and legs. At least now they can have some time to heal or not be in pain all the time.
"the best part? Being out of shape,.. and blowing past people who are in shape!" "gdamnit!" LMAO

this is the best!
thanks buddy!
Thanks man! You've done more on e-bike acceptance than the whole industry for an year!
I own both, and I still prefer my regular bike on the descents, but the e-bike is so much fun as well!
You gotta find a backpack that holds a bike so you can ride the ebike up the hill and then ride the MTB back down again
@@jamesordwayultralightpilot but where do I keep the e-bike on the downhill? don't know man... don't know...
That was so well done! Loved the whole relationship thing that you wove into the story.
I converted a bike to electric using a 48volt 2000watt front motor kit it's fully twist throttle and does great at 40mph gets 60miles on a full charge there great to have
Got my self used eBike. Damm it's great. Can travel further taken in hills would never be able to go. I do more exercise because of it .
You get it 🤘🏻
As someone who just bought an Ebike (Orbea Rise) they are incredible. Superlight Ebikes are the way to go. At 46 years old I actually get a better workout on the Ebike because I can ride so much further and longer. I don't know about other Ebikes, but the Orbea Rise only starts working hard when you do, so it feels natural. Or rather, it feels like I'm 18 years old and 40 lbs lighter.
Glad you’re having fun
I started riding more when past 40. Doing 2-4 hour rides or 1 hour max effort rides these days. I looked into those ebikes like what Orbea does, but most of the time my speed is limited, by what is safe speed to ride so I decided against it.
It is hard work getting into good shape, but once things start to click it feels great. On the roads it is perversely fun passing ebikers though as their speeds are limited to 25km/h in EU.
@@innocentiuslacrim2290 speed isn’t limited when you’re going down hill.
@@innocentiuslacrim2290 these Ebikes are not limited to speed, that’s just when the assist stops helping to keep it in its class of Ebike and legal in certain trails. The point of a bike like this is to punch up large elevations to enjoy the downhill trails. At least that’s what it’s done for me.
I love my Orbea Rise M10. Finally I enjoy uphills and downhills are fun too with 19 kg agile bike.
This is the best possible way to tell your audience its new bike day.
I got an emtb and these bikes are just awesome.
This video was outstanding in the demonstration, competition and humor. In the friendship you covered it all.
Best video on RUclips period
Exactly 🤘🏻
I didn't knew that Seth Rogen and Will Wheaton made an e-bike commercial.
WEIRD
Bromance saved!! The world is great again!!!
This is great! I think we should all treat each other as trail family regardless of what mode of transportation we choose. We are all out here to enjoy the great outdoors❤️
I road biked in the 70’s - 80’s while I was in the Corps. Got combat injured and the biking stopped. Fast forward to 2020 and I’m back on a bike, but this time a MTB (Trek Roscoe 6 with every component upgraded, yeah couldn’t get a Roscoe 8). I’m 64, never rode an MTB until this year and love it.. Glad I found your channel.. NO E-BIKE here…. 🇺🇸
I use ebike for commuting and its soo good to be able to travel 20km a day and not feel more hungry or exhausted compated to car. At the same time low emissions and direct sunlight.
But for geting out of the city, the dual sport motorcycle is just declassing ebikes.
Bro pls answer this question . Is riding e bike easy like on a really high uphill
@@fafnir-_-5526 Riding up hills is still hard! Definitely nowhere near as hard as on a regular bike but you are still putting in effort. I will sometimes use higher pedal assist if I’m not in the mood for a workout but most of the time I just use the lowest mode and use gear shifting. I sometimes want to die a little bit riding up some hills but an e-bike makes it tolerable
Love this sketch, you can see the hard work that has gone into this video ☺
Our sport changed in a strange way. Pretty much everytime i go for a longer ride people greet me and make compliments like: Wow and you're doing that without a motor?- awesome!
Haha feel that, on top of the mountains there are only eBikes left it seems like. Even in cities now, they ask how I can ride a normal bike lol
@@froznfire9531 where do you guys live? I barely see E-Bikes in Portugal, where I live
@@tiagoviana263 because they are expensive we europoors will be able to afford them in like 5 years lol they probably live in us or canada
In my country its the same, when i cycle to school in the morning, i see a lot of kids with ebikes, wont help you getting in a good condition. I live in the netherlands, the cycle country btw
😂🤣👌
There are probably many reasons for getting an eMTB. As I'm fit and able, I'd like to go with non eMTB for as long as I can as the fitness going up is good. However the second i get shit knees or legs, I'm going E!
I'm a climber XC guy and I am stoked with the E-bike. The group rides can be much more fun (even if I'm falling behind on some climbs).
Rewatched this - comedy gold.
I have an 80 year old grandpa and I run highschool track. This video hits hard I have a hard time biking around town when trying to keep up with him
I did a 100 mile enduro race and finished over a minute in front of the first E bike. No E bike can give you satisfaction like that.
That's awesome i can feel the pure satisfaction this must've brought to you
I’m guessing most ebikes will have run out of power after 100 miles?
@@timmayers4965 thats the reason why they cant drive every mile supported
@@jemaripano8078 ha I didn’t know that. So they have someone with a motorised vehicle carrying their spare motor whilst we use leg power alone. Very satisfying 👊
@@timmayers4965 exactly
I give that dude I high five every time I pass him on The climb 😂
I messed up and bought my wife an emtb...now she flys by me on the climbs too 🤣🤣
Oh geez... happy wife, happy life.. I guess !
I did the same and lasted 2 rides with her before I decided to sell a nice guitar as well as my 2019 Trance Advanced 29er to buy a Trance E+ X Pro 29er.
Been out on it five times now and had a blast. Best decision I’ve made in a long time.
@@g.fortin3228 There is no such thing as a happy wife...
@@christulley2050 you just outed urself
@@RealMTBAddict you talk a lot of shit for a guy that never posts his riding... just say'n
Geeked out to this. 4am 8 beers deep. Watching vids about possibly purchasing a ebike to fall upon this gem! Lol
I've slowly learned that most people who hate / are against e-bikes, are either secretly jealous and in denial, or are just selfish in general. Like the kinds of kids who got mad if you were also playing with the thing they wanted to play with. The type of kids who couldn't even share a basketball while on the playground.
A bike is literally an inanimate object. It takes a lot of skill to hate something that doesn't do anything.
Hate the rider, not the bike.
If the person riding the bike is disrespectful of the trail, or other riders/hikers, then hate that rider, not the bike he chooses to ride. Because those types of riders are those types of riders regardless of what bike they are on.
Riding a specific type of bike doesn't instantaneously and automatically make you a POS, the way you represent yourself while on the bike is what does, or doesn't make you a POS.
Also, anyone who calls them a motorcycle/dirtbike has most likely never ridden a motorcycle OR an Ebike.
Sure, there are some ebikes that are borderline motorcycles, and some that actually technically are motorcycles, but we are talking about e mountain bikes here, not e motor cycles.
E mountain bikes are absolutely nowhere near a motorcycle.
My bro (e-trance) tells me all the time he's in the lowest mode... While I am dying...
Imagine being the guy who smokes your buddies on the climbs anyways.
Now, imagine being the guy who smoked your buddies on the climb AND you have an ebike w/a ski rope.
Everyone gets more laps!
Thats funny as f#%k 🤣🤣🤣
As long as its mtb'ing its all fun....be happy, do skids....enjoy what ya do no matter how ya do it 🤘🍻
Yup!
Hell yeah! I bought an EUC last year and upgraded this year to a EXN with a knobby tire. I'm greeted with amazement everytime I ride. Can't keep me off the trails or inside on a nice day no matter how hard you try.
1:50 drinking a beer while climbing and towing BoBo....priceless!!!!
I highly recommend it
Just saw this. Recently got my Orbea Rise and love it. It's not the whole monster truck of the "full fat" eMTBs but damn it still has plenty of power but is still nimble too! This "mid-powered" 38-46lb eMTBs will be the future.
I love my M10 too. I waited almost 12 months but it was worth waiting.
This is gold!
My worst experience with an e-bike on the trail was the time I felt like I was busting ass up this trail, sweating my ass off, out of breath, etc, and here comes e-bike man behind me not even breaking a sweat🤣
I can feel you. Totally. I’m riding regular up for 2k elevation gain locally. When I am sweeting my ass off, I just hear high pitch zzzz sound closing by fast from my back. My first reaction is, seriously? Why bother to even ride this hill up when you are on ebike? Anyway, it’s people option to choose whatever bike suit them most. If they don’t or can’t physically competent to ride that hill, it’s fine for them to ride ebike. They also like to enjoy the magnificent view like all of us do. I’ll continue the old and hard way to bike till my body no longer support it. Then, I’ll get an ebike to enjoy the nature. Peace ✌️
😂😂
The Fun is over, than the e-bike must be carried up the stairs in the 4th floor. (no escalator)
after a long ride.
I love EMTB. BTW the video is so funny and awsome! thank you!
🤘🏻
This is really funny guys good job keeping the controversy light. On my 3rd ebike already. Had to learn what I needed by trial and error.
First time watching you guys and just getting into trail mountain biking. You guys are hilarious!😂
I'm over 70 and ride a racing bike for decades. For a few years now, e-bikes have been in fashion. For me a sign of the softening of the people. People no longer want to exert themselves and move less and less and are getting fatter and fatter. I'll stick with my racing bike and (hopefully) stay fit. I ride with a group of younger people and they all have e-bikes and I really enjoy riding with them. They are a little faster on steep climbs, but I'm faster on the straight and on the descents. And I do more for my health.
If i could give this more thumbs up i would.
I love my ebike. I start off without using the battery and push myself as far as I can go, then I enjoy the relaxing ride back, enjoying the views without getting tired.
Love the lighthearted approach here! Great video thanks man!
