My first ride on my new Biktrix Juggernaut Hub Duo with 27.5 x 3 inch tires was with no power on. I wanted to know how sad I would be pedaling the heavy e-bike should I lose power. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. About the same as pedaling my analog bike with a full load of groceries. I wouldn't want to be more than 5 miles from home should that ever happen, but I could still do it with extra whining. I changed the pedal assist from 5 to 9 and use 1-2 most of the time, though a strong headwind will have me going to 3 or 4. I try to use the throttle as little as possible, but some times showing off at red light intersections is fun using 85 nm of torque. I still like to have fun at 67 years old.
@stkyfngezАй бұрын
That was smart to test it out like that. It’s nice to know you can ride without power, and approximately how far you would be comfortable going. I’d love to check out the Juggernaut sometime, that looks like a sick bike. That’s awesome to hear your out there having fun like that at 67, I hope to be doing the same, never stop riding! 😎
@lordfubar1Ай бұрын
No more whining about hills or headwinds with my E-Bike. I do all my grocery shopping with my E-Bike as I did with my analog bike, but now only concerned with volume of space and not added weight. Want 2 cases of beer? No problem now. I use the same huge shopping panniers as on my analog bike. Finding an E-Bike with a useable rear rack, or a way to add a touring rear rack like on my analog bike was a big buying point for me. I chose the Biktrix Juggernaut Hub Duo as my first E-Bike. By choice I have been carless for over 14 years and am 67 years old. I really like my E-Bike even though I am still not quite used to the 27.5 x 3 inch tires coming from 700C x 38 mm tires of my analog bike. Thanks for the video.

When you get older you'll appreciate a heavy fat tire ebike more. Mine has 7gears, 750W-52V motor, 910 WH or 17.5 amp/hour battery, shock absorbing front forks, thump absorbing seat post, and hydraulic disk brakes. The controller works in pedal assist that reads the gears and compensates speed, or if you pedal harder, the throttle assist takes over for a bigger boost. I'm just short of 70 years old, don't care who passes me, and many won't if I push the bike to it's limits. I've come to appreciate the features, range, and comfort of my Pedego.
@stkyfngezАй бұрын
That makes a lot of sense @cubestone. The fat tire bikes are definitely more comfortable in my experience, and it makes sense why that would take priority over a light weight bike for your rides. It sounds like you’ve got a great all around e-bike. I’ve been wanting to test out the Pedego bike lineup, so hopefully I can make a review in the future. I would definitely appreciate that 750W motor too, the 350W motor on my Soltera leaves me wanting a little more power at times. Thanks for checking out the video 😎

@svr5423Ай бұрын
I would say a proper ebike doesn't need gears. The pedals could directly drive the generator, whose resistence can be set to match your power output. The generator then provides energy for the motor that drives the vehicle. If excess power is generated, a buffer battery can be charged. Otherwise it can be depleted to get ahead quicker (e.g. maintain speed on ascend). The second motor should also have a regenerative braking mode. This way you can get rid of most of the fragile mechanics on the bike and you don't have to worry that you run out of battery (if you want to make this compromise, then an e-scooter is cheaper, more reliable and more comfortable).
@stkyfngezАй бұрын
@@svr5423 I definitely agree when it comes to a well built high end single speed bike. However the majority of the single speed e bikes that I’ve tested personally and tend to see on the road do not fall in the well built category unfortunately.
