@@BoogieNN I'm still watching the video, but on the subject of what you're doing right and what you're doing wrong, I'd say just keep on doing what you're doing. Your video production quality is high and the audio that you can actually control is always clear - you can't do anything about your guest's mic ;) When you did your review of your new brakes - in the park with your 'semi-scientific' testing - I remember watching the video thinking "I can't see any difference between the 2 braking distances", so when you came back to the camera and said as much yourself it made me trust your opinion and judgement more. That sort of honesty is really valuable for a channel that sometimes does reviews. Just keep on with it if you enjoy it, at some point you'll do something that the all-powerful KZbin algorithm thinks is worth showing to a few thousand people and you'll be on your way.

Andrew Todd That is one of my motivations with this channel. I am not here to sell any of my products or get kickbacks. I will always give my honest opinion.

Hey, good show! You touched on a lot of good topics. I'm not sure how search engines work but hope you've #tagged them for reference so people can find the conversation. A few comments from me on the contents of your interview: The riding experience from both Tom and you was very interesting because watching youtubers vlogs you'd think everyone was having a grand time touring parks, taking casual rides through towns and everything was 100% perfect. Nothing about safe riding times to avoid bad drivers, getting stuck in the mud or mucking out the cassette jammed with debris. Also your user experience with the Rad Rover, sure you like it but it has its limitations, again I appreciate honesty and reality to glorification and product promotion for the sake of likes. The BLM land access is really important, glad to hear it brought up again. I had a similar thought as Tom, many people want to use the land, it is public land, and somehow it has to be shared. Its just not fair to discriminate against a particular mode of transportation on that land only because it doesn't fit with someones sensibility of what should be used there. If bicycles are permitted e-bikes should be allowed as well. I understand that many trails are more suited for equestrians and hikers, some single tracks are very technical and not suitable for most e-bikes. However mixed use trails that are appropriate bicycles should allow for class 1, 2, 3 e-bikes. If special rules are necessary to share trails, such as alternate days, speed limits, time slots, trail right-of-way signage, we should formulate solutions. You mentioned your long trail ride/camping trip briefly, apparently an idea still simmering. How to recharge the battery on a long ride? I'm following Lectric XP Owners Group and the question came up about charging while moving, is it possible to sustain an indefinite ride? (daytime, of course) Efficient solar panels of about 6 ftsq can produce 100watts, there are very light weight flexible panels and some folding panels as well. I think there could be options for extended trail rides or charging on the go, it just has to be worked out. The oyster shell kickstand/(side stand) support for soft sand is good. I've been wondering about supporting an e-bike in sand as well. I'm waiting the arrival of my e-bike (Lectric XP) and plan on parking on or near beaches where I live, for shore fishing. I'm going to try punching a hole in a tennis ball and insert or glue it on the end of the side stand to support the bike. We do have oysters and clams here if that doesn't work out, ha ha. Thanks for show and I'll check out Tom's channel. If I'm writing too much of a response in this comment section, let me know, I could always just send comments in an email if that's better.
