ALL NEW Greenworks 60v Stealth All Terrain MINI BIKE - Full Assembly And First Impressions!

[@breddi1]

I’ve been shopping for an e-bike for bow hunting. I’m all private ground so no boundaries regarding class / power. This little rig looks very intriguing! I wonder if there’s an option for a rack / bow / gun mount on the front or rear.

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Hey! That’s exactly what I used it for all hunting season. It is whisper quiet and pulled my big butt up and down the hills. I just put my rifle on my shoulder and then my pack and it worked perfect. Just laid it down at the stand. If you go to my instagram you will see pics and some videos. Also, it’s way lower to the ground so I feel like you are more hidden by tall grass. Anyway, I 100% think it was awesome for hunting. Just not sure about a rack. Oh; and I blacked out the light.

[@breddi1]

@@JoeTheFarmer awesome! Just the past couple months I’ve been using a Rambo ebike that I borrowed from a friend with a bum ankle. I like it ok but the gears click like crazy and idk maybe I’m just sensitive to it but it seems loud. Also I’m short (5’8”) and the seat at the lowest setting is still high centered for me. A few days ago I wiped out while braking going down a slick wet hillside. Fortunately I was going slow but the high center made the crash inevitable.

[@breddi1]

As for a rack I bet Kolpin or someone like that makes a mount that would work. That’s one thing some of the hunting e-bikes have over this mini bike and that’s the racks that go on the back.

[@JoeTheFarmer]

I agree. With a 5’8” frame I am sure you can make it work. But it should get you where you need to go. And very very quiet.

[@blksn8k]

I have a Kolpin gun case with an ATV mount. I could probably make that work but I also use a sling on all my firearms including my Scorpyd crossbows.

[@richardshaw6411]

Bought one from Tractor Supply last week to use around my land. That weekend my boys and grandkids went camping and everyone loved it. We had to keep charging the battery . over and over because so many wanted to ride it so much. Just a lot of fun and it is designed very well.

[@JoeTheFarmer]

It really is an awesome little machine. We still use it all the time! So much fun. Congrats on the new mini bike!

[@kapperoutdoors]

Very nice Joe! Like the drone shots! Have fun with the new machine! I will do the same! I think your video might be better than mine!? lol :) Cheers brother!

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Thanks buddy! I’m headed over to your channel to watch now. Let’s get together and race them!!!

[@GoXplr]

Outside of a drone, what a cool investment to recon some off shoot trails. And if your solo camping and break down, or run out of gas ... you have a plan B to get help. Great video sir 👍

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Thanks for watching!!! Appreciate you brother. 👊🏼

[@rfb7117]

Pretty cool Joe, thanks for sharing. Bob

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Thanks for watching Bob!

[@bay9876]

A stealth vehicle for deer hunters. Quietly move through a lot of farm to check out wildstock. The electric cycle is the way to go for quietly placing yourself at a strategic location for bow hunters.

[@JoeTheFarmer]

100% agree! I can’t wait to ride it out to the stand. Cold front this weekend so I need to find a way to put a bow on it. Lol

[@somecarperson]

I think the go kart would be better for that cause it has the rack on the back where you can put your gear

[@JoeTheFarmer]

@lucasscott6730 It’s really small for me. The mini bike is easy to ride but the go kart really is for kids. Or very small adults. If hunting you take the mini bike to the stand and if successful come back with a side by side.

[@somecarperson]

@@JoeTheFarmer yeah that makes sense

[@Wootangtw]

Awesome..

[@JoeTheFarmer]

👍🏼

[@ProudPapaw88]

That looks like a lot of fun, Joe. That’s nice of these companies sending you stuff to try out. Great video. Farm still looking great! Thanks for sharing!

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Thank you sir! And yes, I 💯 agree that it is very nice of them. I will enjoy it while it lasts! I love tinkering with gear. 😁👍🏼💪🏼

[@blksn8k]

I wanted to test the limits of this thing's capability so I just got back from making a trip down into the river valley on probably one of the most challenging gas well roads in the area. The grade on the steepest section, which is about 300 yards long, is probably around 33° (300 ft drop in elevation over ~ 900 ft distance) which means that every heavy downpour washes all the loose dirt off so you're left with a lot of loose, softball sized rocks. Not a problem at all for a 4x4 ATV but not much fun on this rear wheel drive E-bike. Going down was not much of an issue... just ride the brakes all the way down and try to stay out of the loose stuff. Coming back up was another story especially when I had to stop half way up because a horse fly somehow managed to get inside my goggles. LOL The biggest issue I see with slow speed off-road riding is that the rear springs are just way too stiff. The bike starts jumping around on the rocks and then it becomes really difficult to keep the throttle at a steady speed because of all the bouncing. I made it but I wouldn't really call that a fun ride and the next time I want to make that trip it will definitely be on my trusty old '99 Yamaha Wolverine.

[@breddi1]

I agree 100%. Steep hills (going up) isn’t fun. It just doesn’t have good low speed torque. To get the power to go you gotta give throttle which can get bouncy and squirmy in a hurry. On the really steep hill I tried I actually put my feet down and assisted the slow climb.

[@blksn8k]

@@breddi1 Yep. Feet down on those slow uphill climbs. I've been using it almost everyday since the start of hunting season here in PA. It does everything I expected from it and now that I have been riding it more even the slow speed stuff has become pretty easy. As a matter of fact, I just came in about an hour ago after sitting in a ladder stand until dark and then rode the bike up a much smoother gas well road to the house. No regrets whatsoever!

[@joesoutdoorexperience]

Such a cool bike, looks like a lot of fun!

[@JoeTheFarmer]

It’s insane man! So much fun!!!

[@jimhofoss9982]

I built an electric fatbike, centrally mounted hubmotor geared 6 to 1 thru a jackshaft to 26”x4” fat tire rear wheel. torque thru the roof, but jogging speed at max. I can pull logs, go up insane hills without the motor even slowing down. harley seat to keep my arse happy, and low sitting stance to easily flatfoot rugged terrain. great on the farm. use it to pull a mowing deck for lawn care in the summer. custom built aluminum frame, carbon front fork, and a simple 48 volt 10 amp/hr ebike battery. weighs under 55 lbs. I’m all about utility, not speed!

[@JoeTheFarmer]

That’s awesome man! Would love to see a pic

[@TheFeist77]

I am new to youtube filming and the like. I was wondering if you have a list of filming equipment you use. I really like your videos.

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Thanks for watching! And stick with it! I use a lot of GoPro's. Don't love the video as much as other camera's but they are the only camera that I know of that can survive our lifestyle. What's your channel?

[@mileshiles1287]

Nice you can use the batteries in your other GW tools. Back pack with a couple batteries would give peace of mind.

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Absolutely agree. I’ll be honest man; it is so much fun! Seldom do I just go ride around for the heck of it. I really just find myself cruising around the farm on it!

[@mileshiles1287]

@JoeTheFarmer when we kids no helmets. Now we need to preserve what brains we have left. Ride on.

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Totally. And my head is massive so finding a helmet that fits comfortably is easier said than done. 🤣

[@tomhuwar3341]

Very nice a quite.

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Thanks for watching Tom! It is INSANELY fun to ride!!! Been whipping around everywhere on it!

[@jayverse177]

I love that you didn't just get just the motorcycle you even got the dune buggy as well to go with it. That's badass.

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Don’t wake me man. I’m dreaming. Lol. In all seriousness, if y’all don’t watch it doesn’t happen so thank you. Appreciate you man. God is good. 🙏🏼

[@jimfields9491]

So what kinda incline can it do? Hopefully better than the Ego at a basically flat 18 degrees.

[@JoeTheFarmer]

It can take a modest hill no problem; but steep hills are torture for any of the electric equipment and will drain the battery fast. I haven't tried the EGO, but this one is super comfortable, even at my size. Would be fun to match them head to head.

[@again5162]

2:05 I'm nearly 30 I can load 500 pound work benches myself the method you used and I'm tiny, well done

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Thanks!!! You are being smart, it took me a while to realize the machine should take the abuse…not my body! Lol

[@chadmills5400]

How much faster would it go if you hot wired 2-80v or 82v Greenworks batteries?

[@JoeTheFarmer]

No clue; but not sure I would want to try!

[@blksn8k]

My bike is scheduled to be delivered today. Or at least that's what the trucking company told me by phone yesterday. Strange thing is that when I checked the status of my order a few minutes ago on Greenwork's own website all it says is that I placed an order. No tracking info or anything that even hints that it has already been shipped or that it is actually out for delivery. I even signed up for text updates regarding the shipping status but have not received anything. I sure hope their customer service is better than this.

[@blksn8k]

Well, the delivery didn't happen yesterday and the trucking company (Ward Trucking of Altoona, PA) never called to explain why and did not respond to my voice message yesterday asking what was going on. Their dispatcher did answer my call just now and told me they would have to reschedule the delivery for next Tuesday which is five days later than they originally planned. I also had to hang around the house all day yesterday waiting for at least a phone call. Nothing. And there is still no tracking info from anyone. Not cool.

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Sorry man, will be worth the wait. You will love it.

[@blksn8k]

@@JoeTheFarmer I sure hope so. I'm starting wonder if the shipper may have damaged the bike and is trying to get a replacement. That could explain the silence and the shipping delay...

[@blksn8k]

Yeah! The bike arrived yesterday which was a day "early" based on the trucking company's last estimate. Because I had watched yours and a couple of other videos it actually took longer to charge the batteries than it did to unbox and assemble the bike. Lots of fun riding but it's a little more difficult to ride on slow woods trails than I had hoped. But that's just a matter of relearning how to balance a bike at such slow speeds. The throttle response is a little weird as well with it being so linear. Kind of that on/off switch sort of thing which doesn't lend itself very well to slow speed riding. Doesn't help that I'm 70 years old either. LOL. No problem whatsoever climbing the grades on the gas well road. On the road you can also run at a fast enough pace that balancing the bike is not an issue. I also reduced the air pressure in the tires from about 20 PSI as shipped to 10 PSI which is the recommended minimum. Rides a lot better for someone of my average weight. Thanks again Joe! Oh, BTW, Greenworks' website still shows that I have only placed an order even though the bike has already been delivered. I thought this was the "information age". Apparently not for everyone...

[@LeMnSLiCe]

@Joe The Farmer do you think it would support my heavy ass being 240lbs. and even have a light trailer on it so i can haul a deer with it. does it seem to have enough energy to pull that?

[@JoeTheFarmer]

It hauls my big ol’ butt! And I’m 6’4” and over 240. Lol. It’s gonna struggle on a steep hill with you and a deer. Flat ground; all day. It’s a blast man. Love it!

[@LeMnSLiCe]

@@JoeTheFarmer ok cause I read they were comming out with a 80v with the weight capacity of 300 beginning of next year. Debating on waiting for that one. It’s all flat ground where I’m at.

[@JoeTheFarmer]

@LeMnSLiCe That makes sense. All I know is the 60v is awesome. More torque up hill would be great but for me, faster is not necessary. It’s already fast! Lol

[@DescartesRenegade]

I first saw this on black firday for 1k. Now its 1.5k, which is still worth it, but now i know ill be paying more than i needed to.

[@JoeTheFarmer]

It's a great deal at $1,500; but a STEAL at $1k. I would buy another one for that just for the batteries. The mini bike is phenomenal man. Rode it today!!!

[@DescartesRenegade]

@@JoeTheFarmer I buy and modify all sorts of electric ride-on toys. I'd turn that thing into a mid-drive monster. I love the size and that it comes with disc brakes and suspension.

So what About the reverse?

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Works great but just for backing out. Obviously cannot drive backwards. Well, if you had the skill you could.

[@motocrossin4ever]

What kind of speeds were you getting out of it?

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Dude it flies!!!! I got it to 25 mph and pretty sure if I had the guts it would go faster. But, it’s VERY comfortable and an awesome cruiser. We have been riding it non stop. Really love it man.

[@motocrossin4ever]

@@JoeTheFarmer That’s incredible! I’ve been looking into these but haven’t seen much about them aside from the product videos.

[@JoeTheFarmer]

I totally understand. And yes, I didn’t pay for ours. BUT; everyone that rides it absolutely loves it. My father in law rode a Valkyrie motorcycle for years and sold it s few years back (he’s 70 now). Big fella had a blast riding all over the farm on it. We have plenty of things to ride; and every time he chose the mini bike. And I was bummed because I wanted to ride it! So fun man. Absolutely not for kids; too much torque. You just gotta try one!

[@chadmills5400]

20mps MAX in ECO mode. 25mph MAX in SPEED mode. Only 2 modes. Only 11mph MAX in SPEED mode going uphill. Less than 6mph MAX in ECO going uphill. I'm talking a real hill 35 degrees. I assume that upgrading the speed controller will get more power and get rid of the safety speed. Whereas my Coleman B200x goes up that same hill from stop faster than the electric bike full start.

[@chadmills5400]

I was pretty un-impressed.

[@CTMPRODUCTIONSLLC]

How is the battery life?

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Pretty solid. Goes about 20-25 miles on one charge.

Hopefully they make one that goes 80 mph

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Oh Lord I hope not!!! Lol. But it’s currently laying under my deer stand. Silent ride in. Love that thing!

[@philipdove1705]

@@JoeTheFarmer that does sound practical for that I guess 45 mph would be bear minimum to outrun a charging grizzly or blackbear! Is there a way to mount a Milwaukee packout style tool box on the back?

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Not sure about mounting things to it; but its super fun to ride and we drug two coyotes behind it. So it can pull a little bit. But just a blast to ride around.

[@chadmills5400]

Greenworks will never make one that fast for insurance reasons, but Greenworks is bringing an 80V version next year, spring 2024. Allowing for an 82V battery to be plug and play. The 80V and 82V batteries are twice the cost of the 60V.

I could have. But the big tractor doesn’t maneuver things well in a barn. And after tearing hips and shoulders over the years I work smarter and not harder.
