Tim, thank you so much for single handedly saving our planet. Your brave e-biking session probably offset all of the damage done by the thousands and thousands of private jets owned by celebrities and politicians. Now, don't blame them for any ecological damage, they are far more important than us so they need to get to their parties and dinners fast! Keep up the good work and keep paying those carbon credits! 🤣

[@shootthechit]

@@FloridaE-bikeAdventures The celebrities need to fly on private jets to lecture us poors, so it's totally worth it!!

[@Animalstyle69]

I know you’re joking, but those lithium batteries just end up in a landfill and lithium mining is one of the most polluting types of mining. There is just so everybody’s clear. That battery will need to be replaced every couple years

[@TheOceanMan-xc7qp]

Beautiful and durable bike! That was a serious climb...well done!

[@tenncutt]

Nothing like riding a coal powered ebike up ole Devils Mountain...I have lived in Tennessee since 2006. Lived in the shadow of Mt Diablo from 1972 until 2006. You got that nice dry heat, like an oven. I prefer Tennessee. Thoroughly enjoy all your videos!

[@shootthechit]

@tenncutt Thanks I appreciate it. I lived in Kentucky for a bit and that humidity was something else in the summer. Felt like being in a locker room, but it was really pretty out there

[@tenncutt]

@@shootthechit yeah its been pretty swampy hot out here the last couple weeks. We call it air you can wear! We got a pool and great air conditioning though! We lived in Concord out near Clayton. Now we are about 20 miles north of Chattanooga

[@stevenpeavler959]

That’s my backyard. I’ll ride once a week to Mt Diablo from Finley Rd using the dirt trails and fire roads on my Freedom. That whole area - Diablo, Tassajara, Morgan Territory - has endless bikeable trails and you’ll often not encounter a single person over a 20 mile stretch.

[@shootthechit]

@@stevenpeavler959 Interesting, I've only gone in from the northern side from Clayton, not familiar with the other side. I'm assuming the trails are more gradual and not as steep?

[@stevenpeavler959]

@@shootthechit haha, no the trail I ride is steep af in one spot and requires pushing/walking the bike. After that it’s easy riding but that one stretch is a true workout.

[@terryrccrazy6993]

Awesome video and awesome bike, thanks for the great video

[@josephking7021]

Dear Chit….thanks for taking me on the mountain tour. Your tests are awesome since they are real people doing real riding in real world scenarios.

[@walternutter7294]

Cool, I lived in San Ramon in the shadow of Mt Diablo for a while. Coming down is more exciting than going up 😮. It is pretty steep, and that bike seemed to take it pretty good. Thanks for the video.

[@shootthechit]

@walternutter7294 It was a nice ride, first time going up on the road. Done it on the fire trails a few times, and those are super steep.

Sick ride, been wanting to do this ride for a while.

[@IMBruceECLECTIC]

What's the dual star? Did i.miss your unboxing? I find that hard to believe....

[@shootthechit]

First video with it. Didn't do an unboxing, usually don't unless specifically requested.

[@IMBruceECLECTIC]

@@shootthechit ...whew....was going to feel bad if I missed a video....😁

[@IMBruceECLECTIC]

Incredible views

[@ianthebadguy]

I bet you were one of the few people on that road in a remotely upright riding position.... it's not about spandex or being pretentious, it's about the fact that I don't want to contort myself in half to ride my bike... 🤮

[@loumon2]

Hmmm.....should I buy the dual star "upgrade" for my 5star? I kind of like the smaller headlight looking not so motorcycle like. No gold wheels either, I thought you were liking those. Bike looks great though.

[@shootthechit]

@loumon2 Gold wheels are still an upgrade I believe. You could always get the upgrade and not put on the headlight. I think it's worth it if you want to do longer rides

[@richh650]

[@Beltfedshooters]

I was planning on getting one but holy cow the price just jumped to $2700 today.

[@shootthechit]

Yea, David released a message about being unable to absorb the additional cost from the tariffs. You can still use my code CHIT100 to save 100 bucks. Sadly prices have gone up on most E-bikes.

[@e-cells2222]

2595. Out the door. No additional fees added. No sales tax collected, no shipping charges, no added insurance costs. You get a dual crown fork, 7" big 32led light, plus Tektro 4 piston brakes. 203mm TEKTRO rotors F&R. A much better value.

[@ralexking]

How many lumens is the new headlight? It looks perfect for my 4am ride to work since its still dark lol. My wife and i go on night rides too so this looks very appealing.

[@shootthechit]

@ralexking I don't know about lumens but it's pretty bright, I've ridden it at night a few times now

[@ralexking]

@shootthechit Okay sweet I havnt seen a video at night with the light yet so i was curious but if its much better upgrade from the original im sure its fine. Thanks dude

[@tombrienza4534]

been a month now and ecells has yet to deal with the two problems i'm having with my five star, charger making noise and front tire not centered in forks . keep putting me off ,very disappointed with their customer service . only had bike since June maybe 30 miles on it but they simple don't care i guess .......

[@croutside8386]

So I was out riding my five Star today. Lots of hills in my area. About 90° out. Motor was around 180 190 in pas 3. Went to climb a fairly steep short section of Hill in the motor temp jumped up over 220 and PAS5. Within about 45 seconds. So with all my rambling, my question is, what was your average motor temperature on this ride?

[@shootthechit]

@croutside8386 It was over 220 most of the time , it would creep up to about 270 or so then we would take a break. I got to 285 on the very last stretch.

[@croutside8386]

@@shootthechit so the bike could handle it, it just probably wouldn't be wise to do it often, I take it? 😁

Was the molehill comment a dig at Mrcentraldriver? lol.

[@shootthechit]

No, does he say that or something?

[@ELECTRICBIKEDIYLIFE]

@@shootthechit He has this tiny dirt hill he almost always tests his ebikes out on. I guess it's just a funny coincidence.

[@robertmartin3828]

I am looking for my first e-bike in your opinion do you think these ecells will last 5k to 10k? Thanks

[@shootthechit]

@robertmartin3828 I think they would have no problems lasting that long outside of normal wear, brake pads, tires etc. Electric stuff is pretty durable, the batteries degrade over time but you still get a ton of charge cycles out of them

[@robertmartin3828]

Thank you for the opinion now which one dual star of five star , I am very heavy now, but will lose weight on my new bike! Your chit really rocks! I just watched your other video of your scientific method durability test of the cells five star and as a retired middle school science teacher (30 years), that’s pretty much how I ran my sci methods lectures! lol Great reviews !

[@shootthechit]

@@robertmartin3828 Thanks, I appreciate that

[@ELECTRICBIKEDIYLIFE]

You know it's kind of funny but also sad that the bad smog we used to have was actually keeping us more cooled down. We just can't win.

Is it true you had a Sherpa team with provisions and oxygen tanks following? Someone said that they had this info. I also thought I saw you had a Garmin in reach satellite phone..

The 5 star or dual star look cool but the wait is just too long. They never get bikes in.
