Best Electric Bikes for Heavy Riders | Heavier Riders Demonstrate Ebike Riding

[@sixthreezero]

Thanks for watching! Check out the Electric Bikes in this video here: www.sixthreezero.com/collections/all-electric-bikes

[@RachelSmith-rq5ku]

THANK YOU for how positive this is. The weight stigma I have encountered looking at e-bikes for larger bodies is awful. This was DELIGHTFUL, and makes me want an e-bike!

[@sixthreezero]

You should go for it!

[@bigtee4690]

​@@sixthreezeroHELP PLEASE - I enjoyed this video and I like your bikes. I went on your site to read reviews and was happy to see that 76% of the reviews were 5 ⭐s and those people seemed very happy with their bikes. There is only one real concern that is stopping me from driving down to your location and purchasing bikes for me and my wife. The fact that most of your 1⭐ reviews were from customers that were very unhappy with customer service and the untimely/delayed shipping of parts and supplies. If you have a minute please let me know your companies view on these issues. Great video and I really like your bikes. Thank You.

[@sixthreezero]

Thanks for the comment! We ship our parts out as soon as possible. Customer both need warranty parts and also purchasing on their own. We always maintain a healthy stock of replacement parts and warranty parts but at times we run out of stock and have to wait for the replacement parts to arrive. This sometimes causes delays of part shipping. We've improved this system and increased our parts supply to combat this issue! If you have any other questions please let us know!

[@alberttaylor644]

Great video on the use of E Bikes. We like riding bikes, but at my age the assist is useful and the best option. I was afraid of buying a regular bike, but was concerned about my ability. Your presentation has given us the interest to purchase an E Bike. Ty

[@jesuslovesbass3944]

I'm 5' 10" and I weigh in at 264 lbs. Hey, just being honest, I'm way overweight and I look it. I'm expecting delivery of my ebike in about 2 weeks. Yeah, I'll be a fat guy on a bike, in fact I'm 63 years old, so I'll be an old, fat guy on a bike and I intend to ride that bike all over the place and if people look at me sideways, or laugh, or think some rotten thought about it...I DON'T CARE hahahaha! I'm living my life and it ain't no business of theirs unless I invite them into it. So, they can all kick rocks...I'm gonna ride my bike and love every minute of it.

[@NYCisland]

These reviews are so much better with real people who never rode an ebike. Nearly every ebike review focuses first on speed-speed-speed.

[@jd-zo8yy]

Dustin (leader) was so sweet with the group. He was very respectful, kind and almost gentle with everyone. I loved how supportive he was while also encouraging them. I have to say, he is very good at what he does! Good on you, Dustin!

[@Salty_reviews]

I haven't ridden a bike in 30 years due to my weight, glad to see an ebike that can handle my 390lbs that would make hills manageable. Thank you, will be ordering soon.

[@raqslife87]

This is one of the best videos. Non riders with a little extra weight showcasing the various bikes. Love it!

[@alaskatundrakid]

Love watching "normal" everyday people riding on ebikes. I am a lot older than these people and still love riding ebikes and etrikes.

[@BIKESnSKILLETS]

What do you mean by normal people?

[@8_x_9.]

​@@BIKESnSKILLETS Just simple people with basic knowledge of riding?

[@Becky_One]

I love the excitement as they take off for the first time! I was the same just two days ago! Just got my Sixthreezero Step thru and I was like a kid too! I love this all inclusive video! ❤ Stella is adorable. Wish we lived closer so we could ride together! 😊

[@8_x_9.]

You were so good training this group. I have learned the fundamentals.That group enjoyed the session & loughing a bit just like us. Thank you guys.😊

[@dalebullock6356]

This was the best thing I have ever seen on UTube. I am an avid bicycle rider and I build Electric Bikes.

[@diceymaan]

E-bikes are so great for us larger people to get us back to moving. And for smaller people it's just as much fan too! A tip for new riders, when you climb on top of the bike, engage the front brake to make sure your bike doesn't move when you jump on. This is something we learn in motorbike driver's license education here in Finland. Another thing you learn, which is good for bikes as well, is that going too slow makes it difficult to turn tight. If you are about to lose your balance, try a bit more speed next time (as long as it's not too fast or on slippery surface).

[@sharpestcookieinthetoolbox9742]

What a phenomenal video, and an excellent way to market your products! I haven't seen this from competitors, likely because they don't want to show riders who don't fit their vibe and/or who exceed their warrantied weight limits. But we, too, want to ride - and we, too, have money. Most of us understand that warranties rarely apply to us, and being able to SEE heavy folks on an aesthetically pleasing e-bike that works with our bodies is better than reading about it. Anyway, thanks for making this :)

[@stephenhensley5631]

These bikes are a great way to get people up and moving and fun too !

[@fabutrash]

Raya is a joy. Well done to all the participants, I hope they got to keep the bikes!

[@kingrick4420]

I love this! thank you to all of the riders!! it is great to see people like yourself testing things instead of some really fit guy telling me why a bike would work for me when the seat looks like a banana!

[@thomasflippen4341]

This is awesome! My wife and I have been working on loosing weight this would help her a lot. We went 1 mile on regular bike and she was exhausted. We have also found a book called " stay off my operating table" she has struggled with addiction to sugar but we both lost 50lb in a few months. Addiction is more than drugs. The journey is hard! Glad to see there is something to assist.

[@garywillhoit]

Thanks to you and your riders. All positive.

[@GliblyUnited8billion8]

The joy of these people made my day☺️

[@wogahboy]

I love the first lady's reaction 😂😂

[@JHOFF111]

I love to see the reactions of these people it's very sweet, I was an avid bmxer until I was in my twenties, the bike just seemed to be a part of me and there was nothing I couldn't do on it or felt comfortable with. now I'm 54 245 lb I'm not that young skinny kid anymore I just ordered a fat tire 20in style folding bike, I'm kind of nervous it's been a few years since I've been on a bike in any capacity so I see what these people are going through, but I've always been an athlete hopefully in no time I will pick it back up again, living at the beach it's all flat and it's great for riding very fun inspirational video I really enjoyed it

[@donreid6399]

I LOVE the lady in the dress. She seems absolutely tickled by her experience! 🙂

[@SmokeyTreats]

One thing to assure new riders is to let them know even slightly pressing the brakes disengages the motor. Because it's scary to the senses that first time. Good vid!

[@hankweiser9859]

I am 6 foot five and 330 pounds. That would be hard for me to say on camera so I can totally appreciate these riders. Is extremely helpful for those of us who are overweight to see other folks are size riding bikes, and doing reviews. I totally appreciate this content.

[@mildredbaez463]

Wonderful video, super motivating. What made me realize is the freedom you get with an e-bike at age 63 It seems like when you get your first car at 18. The freedom and enjoyment. Do you ship to Puerto Rico? It's considered as domestic shipping and not international. Let me know pls.

[@stevecornford8097]

This is so positive to get you on to a road to fun fitness

[@healsoflove777]

This was incredible and pure joy to watch. It brought back memories of when I first bought my e-bike. I literally couldn't get off it! It became my lifeline during my depression and anxiety struggles. I spent countless hours riding around Central Park in NYC. It helped me lose a significant amount of weight, and more importantly, I felt active, happy, and saw a big improvement in my mental health. Unfortunately, I had to sell it when I lost my job. That led to another bout of depression, and without my e-bike, I struggled to find other activities to stay active. It was a tough time. Thankfully, I'm going back to work soon, even though I'm broke for now (haha). But once I start working and save some money, the first thing I'm getting is another electric bike. They're truly amazing for staying active and boosting mental health. I actually wish the government could somehow subsidize e-bikes for people who need them most.

[@Leo92630]

This was a wonderful video. I loved how respectful and patient Dustin was with each of these beautiful riders. I’m 65 years old, 260 pounds, and recently retired. The bikes used in this video seem like they would be perfect for me. Thank you Dustin and sixthreezero!

[@nancyjohnson8196]

I loved the big grins on both the ladies when they first tried it with the peddle assist. You could tell they were enjoying.

[@MrNAMASTE1968]

Absolutely love this video! I bought an ecotric fat tire bike, and it's served me well, for almost 2 yrs. At 280lbs, I struggle going up certain hills, so I'll be upgrading my motor, to a 750 watt, which will add much needed torque.

[@nanniecath528]

that is my weight. Your comment on the review is very helpful. I'm shopping for an ebike after discovering this amazing game changer on a practice lesson at a bike hire shop on my beachside holiday.

[@datBoondockingdiva]

Wow ✨️ As a Digial Nomad & part-time VanLifer on the 'thick-side', i need one of these for sure! Thanks for sharing😊

[@rhondariley903]

Great to see you all out there having fun.

[@AB-kg6rk]

Excellent teaching by the way!

[@choclattunda808]

Thank you for making this video ❤ Really appreciate you and your guests for doing a video like this. Very informative and positive.

[@kyleshaw4906]

Love this vid so wholesome nothing should stop you doing anything In life. It must be scary being a bigger person riding a bike but how happy they were and for some it was like nearly 20 years with out riding any bike. I hope they enjoyed and just cause your a bigger person don’t let it stop you having fun 🙏🏽

[@Pupsaremyheart101]

Great job everyone! This is great.

[@HarrySatchelWhatsThatSmell]

This is a great way of testing ebikes. Well done!

[@BIKESnSKILLETS]

I felt like STELLA today! I hadn't been on a bike for over 15 yrs cant believe it and road my first bike again an E bike..was exciting 😊

[@BIKESnSKILLETS]

Slowly throttle helps the best take off because pedaling gives it wobble at first

[@thirdhorizon6964]

I enjoyed watching these folks get back on a bike after so long. I did the same thing but it wasn't electric bike, they're very fortunate to have such a fun thing to jump back in with!

[@o-SPECTRE-o]

Smiles everywhere. Love this video. 😊

[@lorrainefox6774]

This was a fantastic video, I just loved how everyone was so thrilled to ride a bike.

[@simplysoulenergy7248]

All the ebikes I seen online say max weight 265lbs (120kg). So it is refreshing and really motivating to see heavier people can actually still use them. I am 264 and I want to bring my child on it too who is 60lbs but I have been scared it will break down because of going beyond maximum weight. Thank you for this video now I want an ebike

[@patriciaalexander9751]

Great video. Being heavy is no reason not to have fun!! They all did better than me and im a light weight. I crashed first time.

[@rchrdjms62]

I should be glad that I have not yet been able to get a new bike. I'm learning more about every couple of days. I am short and fat so this video is very informative and helped me to have a little bit more confidence. I've been afraid that I would fall over when I stopped or started or something like that.

[@rossmacintosh5652]

Hi Ricardo! I'm a relatively new e-bike user. One observation I want to share with you is I've discovered that having the motor actually increases my riding confidence. Getting going on an e-bike from a stop can be much easier than an un-powered bike. One thing about riding with pedal assist that many non-users (or new users) might not understand is the power delivery cuts out anytime the user stops pedaling. It also cuts out anytime the brakes are engaged. When riding with pedal assist engaged, you can actually coast to a stop (if not going down a hill) simply by ceasing your pedaling. A little practice in an empty parking lot makes a big difference in getting used to an e-bike and getting comfortable with its performance.

[@xKmotx]

These riders were very courageous to perform this demo. Hopefully you gave them the e-bikes afterward.

[@mirandajacobs9024]

This is such an amazing video!! Thank you for doing this and sharing real numbers so that we can truly get an idea for ourselves. Truly so grateful for this content!!!

[@rodpod3892]

Great video..the detail on this video is just great..thanks

[@TonyB-rv9qd]

Great podcast E Bike is the way to go...

[@petert4540]

Great video guys 🙌

[@kalechips5972]

The thing I always struggled with on bikes was the seat height. I'm 6'7, 450 pounds so anytime I would get on a bike and set the seat high enough the lock on the seat post would either snap or just not work and I would go slamming down, and then the seat would tilt all the way back and throw me off basically making the whole thing unrideable.

[@1digitalwatcher697]

GREAT REVIEW

[@Championspear]

My stepdad is over 350 and his joints are in bad shape. Thanks for sharing this.

[@TravelNut72]

Lovely video thank you !

[@Kram-eg6uj]

Awesome Video!

[@ringo666]

Just my 2c, as a heavy rider: 6'1", 320, 64yo, 3 joint replacements; I ride bikes with conversion kits installed (I'm a former bike wrench). 1000w/48v, top end 28mph, range about 12mi on throttle only. I'm a longtime rider, haven't ridden more than a couple miles to the park with grandsons since retiring 3-1/2 years ago. I'm in such abysmal shape right now that my ONE NY resolution is more time pedaling. When the weather breaks (Great Lakes region). I have 2 ebikes -- the 1000w I mentioned, w/ 7 speeds, and a 1500w single speed. I'm planning on making the single a 7 as well. Shorter ranges, but the converted bike will be about half the price of a turnkey bike. And I'm picky about parts! Lol

[@nancyhouse280]

I have a six three zero beach cruiser regular bike. I love this video about the e bikes. Very helpful and informarive

[@rayjay8322]

OKOKOK! The title is hilarious!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@newbiewootify]

This is such a great video! Thank you

[@Renzo.shootz]

really helpful thanks

[@davidgambler1591]

Might want to add more air to rear tires. 👍🏻

[@mariamaria_4957]

I wish I could have seen your channel before I got mine.

[@mariamaria_4957]

❤ohhh.I like your e bike❤❤❤

[@jesuslovesbass3944]

Just a thought; should the day ever come when we can provide a charging system that is efficient enough to recharge the batteries while the bike is being ridden, even just enough to recharge at 50% of battery output which would boost the overall capacity and ride time by 50% more, then I think we'd see these sorts of bikes just explode on the market...everyone would want one. Could you imagine perhaps a charging system as efficient as an alternator in a car, that keeps the battery charged all the time? Wow, that would just be a total game changer.

[@nanniecath528]

Right up my alley @ 127 kgs - looking forward to viewing this shortly.

[@keiranwatts3159]

I was 128kgs, with diet and exercise I'm now 115kgs. Now i'm looking for a fat bike possibly an e-bike as I want to get out on the bike trails and paths here. ❤ Seeing the looks and smiles on these guys and gals faces I'm confident that I will be able to get a bike that will suite me and how and where I want to go.

[@JuCarlos-ex8ip]

Great review very well explained thanks

[@AB-kg6rk]

Rhea's a bit of a dare-devil😮 ❤

[@halloosin8]

Hi sixthreezero team, I looked at your website after watching this video but found your bikes described there as rated for a maximum of 300 pound riders - including the bikes you've demonstrated in this video. Are you able to clarify what the weight capacity of your bikes like the EVRYJourney are, please?

[@sixthreezero]

Great question, we warranty our bikes up to 300lbs, but the weight capacity is 450lbs. The additional weight on the bike may require some things to be replaced sooner than usual, like spokes and seats. But the frame will hold up no problem.

[@AB-kg6rk]

spokes have been the bane of my existance for 20 years now.

[@AB-kg6rk]

Appreciate this program. Im 6' 2" 350 lbs. Havent ridden much in 5 years, I used to ride alot in my 40s (70 lbs ago). Just got a Lectric 750 - 1000 watt motor for Christmas, i cant wait to tour longer distances with level 3 - 5 pedaling, so i can lose some weight. My question is, how much range wjll i have, the battery is 48 volts 10.5 AH.?

[@bigguy1403]

Depends on how much you use throttle assist. The more you peddle and less full throttle you save battery time. you'll get probably 25 miles on a 1000 watt battery and motor.

[@nancyhouse280]

Great bikes .

[@paule.maurice1521]

If you also ride a motor cycle , Swap Brake Levers so Right Lever operates Front Brake , just like a motor cycle .

[@AB-kg6rk]

good advice!

[@sspoonless]

If you'll rub those brake surfaces with bar soap, that squeal will go away.

[@7stringjazz1]

Best way to lose weight and gain fitness. E-bikes for everyone!

[@hoodamatureswilliams743]

I’m curious the website says this bike has a capacity for only 300 yet this video is showing people over that. Has the capacity limit changed ?

[@sixthreezero]

It can handle heavier riders, but the warranty is void over 300lbs. That's mainly because over time the wear and tear will be more and we can't guarantee an exact lifetime of the bike.

[@BIKESnSKILLETS]

I'm sure they'll lose weight

[@curiousrelic]

Great Vid

[@calliewest2009]

I have adult Trike that I want convert to a ebike. Can you recommend where I can get this done in Houston, TX

[@BIKESnSKILLETS]

You forgot to tell everyone to brake with rear brake first 😮

[@EustacioMarquez]

how would a 250 watt E-Bike do against a 20mph headwind 4 miles long using the pedal assist ! trying to decide how big of a watt bike i need for my commuting daily ! thanks for your input

[@sixthreezero]

Depends on the rider weight, that will have the biggest impact.

[@ayyubtafs10]

If you don’t want to use the electric and you just want to pedal like a regular bike

[@ayyubtafs10]

If I wanted to put it in level none is that possible

[@sixthreezero]

Yes of course. You can either leave the motor off, or put it in level 0 and you won't receive assistance from the motor.

[@roees]

how much power are the bikes ?

[@sixthreezero]

500 watt motor.

[@Cleaning_mind]

It’s look so comfortable I like to buy but I m from Paris so it’s possible to buy m I dnt know can anyone help me

[@ighostlegzthemod8364]

What class is this bike 1,2 or 3? Will these bike be ok with bike laws I mean on bike paths in parks and state parks? I’d hate to get one and not have anywhere I can ride it.

[@sixthreezero]

These are Class 2 Ebikes featured in the video. These will be ok most places especially if you ride at same pace of other rides on the path. The national parks have different regulations based on the park and trail. But usually it's only class 1 and 2 ebikes that are allowed.

[@michaelhostetler5190]

E bikes are good it gets heavier and older riders out doing what they used to do.....

[@DefaultProphet]

I’m a little confused, on the website it says these bikes weight limit is 300, so is that just for the like range estimates or what?

[@sixthreezero]

We only warranty them up to 300lbs, but they can perform above that weight.

[@kelslo74]

Is it a hub motor?

[@sixthreezero]

Yes it is, a 250 watt front hub motor.

[@craigjones9372]

none of them are pedaling. No pedaling == not a bicycle.

[@m.hughes2521]

If you're obese, forget the Ebike and get a regular bike. You just might lose a few pounds and get healthy too.

[@LESLIEADKINS-qz2sv]

yea.. why didn't we think of that. :-/

[@click411]

Hey dustin can you tell me what a good afordable bike 350 (ok well 355) and 6ft 5 and cost to ship to Raleigh nc and where can you take it is it breakes

[@biggaboy69]

Question for you, your website says the model that the 400lb rider was on, has a payload of weight capacity of much lower than that? Wondering what is the reason for showing this, when that bike isn’t rated for a rider of that size? Thanks

[@sixthreezero]

Hey Jon, above 300lbs we don't warranty them because elements will wear quicker under more weight. But key components like the motor and battery will hold up just fine.
