E-Bike Love With Danny Macaskill

I don't own an e-bike nor do I have any sponsors involved with pushing e-bikes so I have no obligation to promote them, the following info is purely my own thoughts on the subject.
So the story goes like this...Danny had his "what the Heck" video out a few weeks ago to mostly positive reviews however some people who hate e-bikes took it upon themselves to assume Danny only rode the bike because he had to and would never chose to actually ride it otherwise.
I explained to a couple of comments that this simply isn't the case and Danny is genuinely stoked on the bike...I just got abuse as a result.
So here's a video of us both riding e-bikes (my second ever time) and having an amazing day!
I understand not everyone likes e-bikes but please don't transmit your dislike for something onto others who do. It's like enjoying one genre of music and claiming everyone else should only listen that and nothing else.
Also I see a lot of claims from people who've never ridden an e-bike but just made some assumptions.
"E-bikes are for lazy people"
No, ride a normal bike for half a day and ride an e-bike for half a day and you'll still be as tired and exhausted as each other but the person on the e-bike would have ridden further and faster.
"you'll become a slower rider riding an e-bike"
I doubt it, in fact I'd argue you'd become faster! In half a days ride you'll be able to ride more laps...more laps = more time riding the downhills...more time riding downhills (no help from the motor here) = more skill development. In other words, what will make you a faster rider, riding a fire road or riding a technical bit of DH trail?
"you'll wreck trails"
No more than a heavier rider or someone with powerful legs would.
I can imagine including an e-bike into training would really help make you a faster better rider!
This isn't even mentioning that e-bikes are great for those recovering from injuries, older riders or even riders who want to keep up with their fitter friends on the climbs rather than holding the group back. They're also great for photographers who need to carry a lot of gear.
So yeah, if you hate e-bikes hold off until you've actually ridden one...if you still hate them after then so be it, just respect those who do like them.
I hope this video has helped some people realise that people and pro riders can and do enjoy e-bikes and they're not just on them for a pay cheque.
Now how about you go and give Danny a sub (once you've given me one), he needs as much help as he can get!
Thanks for watching!

E-Bikes have allowed me to ride with my dad again, he had a terrible motorbike accident a few years back, he broke the entire lowerhalf of his body and had to replace his knees with metal and alot of parts of his hip with metal, he couldnt walk for a year and still has a hard time going on long walks, he could never ride with me but he has recently bought a Canyon Spectral:ON and can now come out on the trails with me without putting to much stress on his knees, e bikes are amazing and has given a 53 year old man the chance to go out and have a bucket load of fun with his son again

E bikes are lifesavers

[@Mcfc2Rich]

That's brilliant. I'm recovering from a bad mental illness and exercise is mega for my health. I got my eMTB less than a month ago and I've already done 200mi on it. I go everywhere man. It's fantastic

[@adamweston4152]

E bikes have given me my freedom back again after loosing my driving licence on medical grounds plus I am 49 and have arthritis in my hips and knees plus there's no bus service where I live so I bought an e mountain bike and it's awesome.for the people who say that it's for lazy People...UP YOURS! best thing I've ever bought.

[@MtnXfreeride]

Its too bad they are being banned everywhere. Setting limits is one thing, but my local reserve which was donated land from a family friend set up a mini government and closed half the trails to preserve wildlife and put up signs saying no eBikes. Those trails they closed were there before the wildlife as it was clearcut land 25 years ago and those logging trails became bike trails. FFS, my hub motor is 250 watts.. its barely equal to myself and I'm only using it uphill because its a 8 mile battery.

[@thetessellater9163]

@@MtnXfreeride - If it is private land, they can specify whatever they want, surely? Near me, the Duke of Bedford's estate has permissive trails clearly marked which separate bikes from walkers for safety. There appears to be no differentiation between ordinary and electric bikes. (Permit required for legal reasons)

[@elhior23]

So you are not legally able to drive because you are not safe to drive on the roads but you should be legally able to ride what is basically a motor cycle around because of what? Because we have decided bicycles don't need a license? How does this make sense to you? If you can kill someone in your car because of a disability you can do it on a motor cycle, even on that is considered a bicycle because it goes "slow". Legal e-bike on bike trails can go well over 20 mph. How is this a good thing?

I was on the short loop at Laggan last year, having bursting lungs at 59 is bad enough, but when you can feel your heart coming out of your ears it's a warning, so after hiring a ebike at aonach mor I was a convert and bought one the day after I got home

We've had 3 Ebikes now and been riding them since the beginning of 2018. Our Ebikes are the single greatest purchase we have EVER made! We both Have been riding MTB for over 27 years and the ebikes are our favorite bikes ever, they can do everything and not leave you wrecked afterwards. Best of all 3 times more riding in the same time with just about the same amount of effort.

[@MrDmadness]

Agree 1000000% currently I lack an e bike so do does e pedal push thing.. this means that often after a day of work ( plumber .. hard work ) I often go ride my one wheel as I can ride on he same terrain with less effort.. would absolutely choose an e bike those days if I had one... point is after a hot long day I sometimes lack energy for a ride.. not so with e assistance and I end up having more fun and exercise regardless.... pure win. I'm saving for an e bike now.. till then pedal effort on days I can and one wheel riding mon those days I'm lazy or cashed :)

Do you sometimes go on family rides? That must be pretty cool

[@dorothyclarkson772]

Lukas Otto No, we live in very different parts of the country and my husband (Al’s Dad) and I do very different styles of riding from Al, as you can imagine! Twenty years ago when we were all in the same household, all Al wanted to do was practice his bike skills and Ian and I were out running, which didn’t interest Al at all. We changed from running to cycling but Al sees no joy in 30-50 mile road trips! Perhaps there is a cycling gene as my father (b 1912) was a keen road cyclist and he and his brother were tandem time trial champions, active in the 1930s Does such a category exist any more?

[@nikolapaspalj4954]

Brilliant video, been riding Ebike for two years now, the longer you have them the more fun you have and, your spot on with you comments about becoming one with the bike

[@MrScrofulous]

EMTB are the way forward. Got my first one two years ago, upgraded to a Kenevo inNovember, absolutely rocks. I might have had a massive crash last weekend destroyed my medial malleolus but hey, still smiling and still riding. You need to spin a higher cadence on those steep technical uphill bits. Also use your dropper post to get moving again if you get stuck.

[@biketothetop]

Ali, I was so excited to see Danny's eMTB video, but I am even more excited to see you riding an eMTB and doing so with Danny! I rarely see videos with Danny just going out and riding without a full scale video production. Nice line at 7:25 "I sure showed that tree who's boss". At 10:45 "How can I not get up this?" I've learned that the trick to tech climbing is to learn forward, sometimes go straight, up and over the obstacles (you might go around/avoid otherwise on a bio-bike to preserve energy) don't allow the bike to bounce backward, don't stop pedaling (otherwise the dynamic effect of the torque sensor will cause the torque to oscillate on/off and disrupt the torque flow), and sometimes it is better to be in the middle power setting so the bike doesn't get too punchy and lose the line. I can climb some crazy steep stuff. 13:51 awesome downhill run! 15:32 I think I determined you were using the HERO8 with GoPro's Protective Housing. Were you using the skeleton back or the closed back (I'm guessing the open because audio was pretty loud. I once fogged my lens from my breath from the inside because my chin mount is not as low as yours. 16:00 Danny, "I get the feeling its harder to go over the bars... I'll probably go over the bars today" 16:30 It was so cool you guys did the DH run again. 17:18 I'm not so sure Danny was going faster than you were! 17:40 Danny' goes over the bars... Your edit was spot on playing back Danny's earlier video clip about going over the bars today! eMTB's enable us to pack so much more into a day! I'm so happy that you guys are having a great time and helping to show the world your new passions! I've got 2200miles on my 2019 Specialized Turbo Levo Expert in the last 12 months... need I say more here are all my Levo videos #LovingLevo . I got mine at age 60 after 25 years of MTB and I've been so stoked at all the places I ride. I read your entire comment in the description and see you've totally got the right perspective. Thanks for sharing... I love you guys! Yes, I had loads of fun watching this one!!

[@biketothetop]

@@Ali_Clarkson Ali, the Skeleton backdoor came with the GoPro protective housing. Look through your box of goodies that came with it if you still have it! Yes, when I reviewed your video again I saw you had a lapel mic. That's definitely important if you want to get the sounds of other people talking in your video. Usually I don't do so, but oftentimes I interact with others and it would be helpful. Like yesterday when someone saw me riding my ebike up a very tough hike a bike section and I got to the top, this guy said I'm his hero :-) I'm not sure if he knew I was on an e-bike though!

Hey Ali Clarkson! Well good to see you enjoyed ebiking! There are disadvantages but for me the advantages vastly outweigh them! I find you still get a work out riding them because for every bit of power you expend the ebike rewards you by adding to it and that is a great motivator! More effort in is rewarded with more fun out! I'm riding 5 times as much as I used to! Ride ride ride!

Hi Ali, thanks for this video. This has really helped me decide to try an ebike out before I invest in a new bike. They open up a whole new world and seem so much fun all over the mountain. I think most people assume you won't get a good workout on one, but to my mind, you can work just as hard but go a lot faster and for a lot further

[@CR5rc]

I hurt my shoulder dirt biking a couple years ago and had to stop riding. Decided to give an e-bike a try to get me back on two wheels. Being almost 50 and out of shape, and not wanting to hold up my friends who are mostly younger and in better shape than I am the e-bike made perfect sense. It's a lot of fun and I still end my rides breathing heavy and legs burning. I just get to go a lot further and faster than if I was on my regular bike. I think of it like a bionic bike, it just amplifies my effort, I still get a great workout riding it. Once I'm back in better shape again I'll probably be able to switch back and forth to my regular bike depending who I'm riding with and where we're riding. It was expensive but I really enjoy riding it so I think it was worth it.

[@oliversch7271]

[@bigcasey4143]

I ride a 2019 Meriida E160-800.... I'm now 61 and bought my E-Bike because I was unable to keep up with the boys on their normal bikes; I had the choice of either getting a E-Bike or stop riding, as riding was no longer fun. I can now keep up with their lively pace with ease, and carry a spare battery in my Camelback, so a 30-50 mile jaunt around the South Wales Valleys is still very possible. I've still got my old short-travel 2011 Santa Cruz Tallboy, which I occasionally ride with one of the boys who likes riding at my pace... E-Bikes aren't cheating; they can be just as demanding or exhausting to ride as you want them to be.... you're only cheating yourself if you don't get one

Solid ride from both of you; unsurprisingly 😊👍🏻 Just needed a little more momentum for that hill. I have owned a Specialized Turbo Levo since January 2019. Every time i go out on a normal bike I wish I’d got my ebike. Not because I am lazy, more because i can do more miles. I bought an ex demonstrator for £2500. It’s still a lot of money i suppose but much better than buying new. People need to give them a blast; you won’t look back. Just go to your local shop and give it a try......well when this bloody coronavirus dies down. Stay safe people.

[@AleksandarGospic]

Ebikes are dream machines, I adore mine! Rides are so much more fun and dynamic than ordinary bikes, climbs are not boring and slow and you still work a lot, especially in Eco mode, which I use 95% of the time. People have totally wrong idea how ebikes work. If you are a rider that likes to push yourself and ride mostly on the edge of your comfort zone, you will absolutely do the same on the ebike, but you will just be faster. Love that you did this video cause anti ebikes people need some enlightenment. But after all, ebike is just another product, you don't have to like it, but there's absolutely no reason to hate it. if it's not for you, it's not for you, use what you like

Nice! Definitely get air suspension and a suspension pump when you get an E-mtb! Coil suspension are always too stiff and can't be fine-tuned on the fly like air susp. If you get a full-sus E-mtb you're obviously going downhill so do not skip the dropper post. I recommend Shimano E7000 and E8000 as the best motors that mortals can afford. They are pretty equal so get an E7000-mtb if you get a good deal. Front and rear air suspension and dropper post are the important details. If those three exist the rest of the bike is guaranteed to be fine. Dream E-mtbs can be had for 3-4K $.

Super vid guys, now I have to go get on my E!!!

[@dijohnson7]

"I hope this is coming across on camera" it certainly was, nice riding!

[@toooldfortwowheels2048]

Love Dannys enthusiasm for anything on two wheels, great vid Ali, I'm a convert already but I still ride an acoustic. Not long for me though now I'm into the 40s.

[@brentyancich]

I cant wait for a nice bike myself . Interesting little hum from the motor; kinda like it .

More the time run, more I'm attracted by ebikes. Seeing this vid of you and Danny make me like them a bit more :D I tried one for 2 weeks 2 years ago and I was very surprised of the handling compared to my Scott Genius. The weight add something and yes, the gravity center being lower helps with this feeling ! I just discovered your channel by youtube suggestions. You know Danny personnaly ? i'm curiuous ^^

[@cristoof59]

@@Ali_Clarkson I think I will rent one this summer to see how that can climb a mountain to access the bike parks avoiding lifts :D Ok good to know. Hope to see more vids of you 2 ;)

Looks like Sasquatch in the background at .007. Awesome trail! This may be my next bike!!!

[@georgetsarhatsidis]

how much fps was your camera recording at? it looked a little choppy. Although does get the dramatic pov.

[@barrymccluskey4616]

Never even considered a ebike like the workout getting to the top until i watched dannys vid when he said can get up twice as fast so can go down the trail twice in the same amount of time on a bike made sense lets face it most of us only climb up for the fun we get going back down

[@chrisfontaine6221]

You guys are blessed for sure, be safe out there

[@motooilermotooiler9597]

ebikes are so cool - naysayers probably didnt ride one. what could possibly be wrong with riding a bike in the mountains, being wasted by the end of the day and covering 3x times the area? as to the very vid I always enjoy watching Danny and your Ali keeping up with him on the slope is nothing but impressive! great riding!

[@bongosock]

Such a laugh watching you blow past all those pedal pushers :)

Hi Ali, where was this filmed? Looks absolutely fantastic! BTW I was very anti, more because of the fact that on my local ´bump' (675m high, here in Austria, so not a mountain) I was consistently overtaken by older, and/or seemingly bulkier riders on first gen e-bikes, hated them! But this year , there is an awesome selection of really good e-bikes and they look and feel like an analogue MTB, not some Heath Robinson creation (apologies WHR). So time to change perhaps......
