Taking your ebike into a coffee shop, art gallery, etc even if they allow you as a joke or for fun, is clearly bad manners. And he took it into a hospital too! Wat da heck!!

[@christopheraldridge6477]

Chris in 2021 I have the tao tao electric scooter and love it!

[@Revelation1177]

Electric?

[@allmosts123]

Great documentary. Thanks for the wonderful info. I love ur video presentation!

[@ronellejacobs5811]

What an awesome video!!!!!!

[@ExplorewithZac]

I thought of doing a video about this! I live in Qingdao in the eastern edge of China! E-Bikes flood the streets every day. :) It’s magnificent.

[@mr.fisshy]

man this is why foreigners get bad reputation in china, even if chinese do everthing they want we as westerners cant do the same its their country, ive been in china 9 years and i havent done anything like that... cheers from shanghai

[@sarcasticallyyours1412]

Hey bro... I am from New Delhi...looking forward to manufacture parts of electric bike as Indian government is pushing for electric transport.. can you help me in any ways..

[@pabloschonffeldt]

Love the video! I'm living in Vietnam and here is also insane. More and more Ebikes everyday. So funny all the places you took the bike. Also at the end, when you get next to the people doing Tai chi LOL. Keep the good videos! Let me know If you ever come to Danang

[@engin3ar]

Crazy coincidence, I was in Danang just about a month ago. Really fun place, I especially liked Hoi An. It wasn't me in this video (it was Deven), but thanks for your comment.

[@charleschoo9398]

nice video mate, keep it up

[@baker2niner]

This blew me away. I was in Chengdu in ‘93 and it seemed like I was one of two Occidentals in town. It was soooo remote. There were as many cars in the city as were parked in one of those car parks. Forget the ebike growth, the whole city is expanding like the Milky Way. (Sorry about the smog though; the sky was clear blue then.) Blown away.

[@millevoltevivia3546]

Good video, but actually few people here ride their ebikes inside. It's a little bit weird.

[@atifkhan1198]

V nccc china good work

[@vlan1213]

[@connorgames6668]

[@shanghaicustoms9582]

hey mate, this is fantastic, shared on our facebook page, Matthew Shanghai Customs

[@user-uy7hm1ik5v]

Not any more , now ebike is forbidden in elevator

[@emmanuelthen6363]

hey man? could you suggest a specific brand for business purposes?

[@heterodonto060810]

Thought for sure the guy in the art store was going to stop him from getting the bike into the building. Even helped him get the bike inside lol.

[@ExplorewithZac]

Dang.... Went to your page to watch more videos.... But didn’t find any. 😭

[@kolfamalo8399]

dude make a part 2

[@musicwithmorals]

Great little docu that! Great presenter! erm... my wife tells me that it is illegal to carry a passenger on an ebike? Is this true?

[@ChengduLiving]

No, I don't think that is true. If it's true, thousands of people are violating that law here and no one seems to care.

[@skyym3629]

Music with Morals .... If there is a place for and foot rests for a passenger, you are good. If there isn't and they are just sharing the seat with you, then a Policeman can be picky and make a deal about it. Thx and God Bless

[@AmeerKhan-oe9se]

Will you please best e scooter in china

[@hymlog]

...BIKE JAM IN THE ELEVATOR! ...BUT DOES HIS ELEVATOR GO ALL THE WAY UP??

[@anthonykang11]

Hope these bikes come to the United States

[@yahwehsonren]

damn.ebike ia very comfort

[@_Sunny_17]

Slowly and gradually india also motivated from china

[@saulgoodman8974]

ı have same model e bıke of this guy put on restaraunt

[@newhuskytwenty]

We already got the concept, you know? You are forcing the situation and as a western man I feel ashamed by you 9:05

[@jonsmit3819]

Absolutely. He is the only one riding an ebike in a cafe, a hospital, an art gallery, an elevator, and a dancing class. See the looks on the locals' faces watching him? They probably think this white barbarian has no idea of human decency... but he is a guest, so let him do his barbarian thing. This is called culture.

[@blackjack23able]

He's totally ignoring his white privilege which is the only reason he can take that bike in those idiotic places

[@engin3ar]

Chinese people take bikes into the same places.

[@engin3ar]

If you're a foreigner in China, you are probably already used to people staring at you. It happens all the time.

[@engin3ar]

I think you are wrong about that. Foreigners get stared at all the time here, regardless of how they act.

[@MagnoLima]

Wow! At 8:46 wow ! I just got one ebike here in Brazil but if I try some of this for sure I will be arrested or someone could beat me lol

[@hardergamer]

Magno Lima : LOL not true at all, i rented an ebike in Rio 2011 for the first time from "E-moving!"... then i had one for a week at Rio 2016 olympics! from RIO.ELECTRIC! kzbin.info/www/bejne/aGmtpnqnlMqhe9E

[@leoqin1969]

Please note that China is driving on the right

[@fromnorthindia3862]

I don’t think he can do that... i also live in chengdu.. i think he talked with the shop manager or owner to shoot the documentary..... nobody does that around here

[@AmeerKhan-oe9se]

Hello brother

[@samin90]

Ebikes will never work in America, even in heavily congested cities like LA and NYC because people *need* to have their own personal tanks

[@ChengduLiving]

I don't follow. You charge an ebike just like you refill an automobile or motorcycle with fuel.

[@samin90]

People in America don't care about practicality, they care about looks and the perception of safety. There's a reason why SUV and truck sales are through the roof here and the F150 is one of the most popular family cars Maybe when gas prices skyrocket and we have another recession when everyone defaults on their auto loans ebikes might have a chance, and I really hope they do, but sadly right now they're mostly used by people with suspended licenses because of DUIs and weirdos in Silicon Valley

[@ChengduLiving]

Ebikes only make sense in very dense urban spaces, which China is filled with, so their popularity here makes sense when you look at it in that way. America has a distinctly suburban, highway culture which necessitates cars but most places in China are not really like that.

[@AllAboutYouTubers13]

lol didnt end well

[@phunguyen6039]

Convenient n cheaper save time or busses haha .now regulation 25 km max good, love China

[@bossiseverytimeboss4046]
