E-MTB Vs. Motorbike | We Swap Bikes With

This video contains paid product placement for Santa Cruz.
In this video, we challenge Billy Bolt to swap sports! Will attempts to ride Billy’s 300cc motorbike and Billy goes E-MTBing with Will!
Hard-enduro is a motorcycling discipline, taking all the most challenging parts of enduro riding and turning it up to 11! Think motorcycle trials and motocross-style obstacles that have to be tackled on a bike with lights and a number plate!
Billy has a background in trials motorcycles and bicycle trials, but is seriously impressive on an E-MTB! Who will win in a series of challenges that push presenter Will to his limits?!

[@bikeradar]

Which was better? Will's moto skills or Billy's MTB riding?

[@Enduro262]

Will is a legend. but Billy’s the best all round 2 wheel riding wizard ⚡️BB57⚡️

[@Hifi1927]

Billy by a mile 😊

[@davidalexispr]

Billy on both. Offroad motorcycle experts will tackle anything on a bicycle eaaasy

[@alanwade2962]

Never noticed before, but Billy's moustache is quite pathetic.....

[@iangraham5320]

Yeah I tell my moto friend to get into MTB but I don't recommend my MTB friends jump on a dirtbike.

[@adamward236]

A somewhat more reserved Bill compared to his usual content 😂😂

[@trialsta1]

Proof that trials skills are always transferable!

[@gregchapdelaine4889]

I can’t get enough of watching Billy Bolt ride or hearing him talk. Amazing rider and a really funny guy.

[@rg807]

Virtually every top level motocross, Enduro, etc guy trains on a bicycle too. Also, Enduro racing can be really, really hard.

[@dazeccles]

Races Tweedlove enduro, wins the ebike cat and posted a 12th overall beating full time EWS athletes! The lads gifted on 2 wheels that’s for sure

[@crashtestpanda]

Both very talented riders having been on track with both its scary how easy they both make it look in there respective disciplines and billy in both

[@MAXlMUS]

Fun fact. The Santa Cruz and the Husqvarna cost the same price. Choose yours 😁😁

[@raizt1596]

Anyone choosing the ebike should lose their mancard.

[@eduardodinzey2714]

😂🎉😂 I think that dirt bike cost less ???

[@ADrago]

​@@eduardodinzey2714incorrect, consumer version costs the same or a bit more. Factory racing version costs substantially more

[@bodhigilroy]

The Moto.

[@smirnov__ice]

​@@raizt1596 or does not have the money and tools to maintain and transport that thing lol

[@TheBikeRoom]

Fun watch, amazing bike, would love to get the chance to ride one on proper enduro trails. Thanks BikeRadar for content with Will, he brings experience and 'have a go' attitude which doesn't result in some unusable footage.

[@rodneypurbrick7899]

Great video. Billy is just ridiculous on a bike. To be this good at 25yrs is stupid in the best possible way. Good to see the slow and steady method still holds up. Hopefully we get to see him here in Oz soon. 🤙🤙yewww

[@mitch_smith]

when BB says "let's make it harder" I legitimately got scared for dude.

[@bikeradar]

Thanks Mitch, I was scared for me too! Thankfully Billy was nice to me, just a little disappointed sometimes 😂 ~ Will

[@patrickervin1463]

I just can’t get around the fact that that ebike cost the same as a stock te300. Technology this technology that, bicycles may have exotic materials in frames but what else is there to warrant the cost.

[@edward4976]

Ridiculous isn't it a full on road legal 300 2t husqvarna is the same price as something a quarter of weight with a tiny electric motor hopefully within 10 years the price comes down on them

[@redstormr1769]

that was the reason I started riding enduro bikes after 50 years of age :)

[@ianiscaratti4924]

free market and request and demand warrant the cost

[@iangraham5320]

I have heard it's an economy of scale. They have to make more profit on the mountain bike because they make a lot less of them. Also exotic material.

[@benjaminhoff5004]

Enduro is so technical the way they manipulate the bike and what they can ride over and up is insane.

[@bikeradar]

To watch Billy ride a bike was a joy. The video doesn't to it justice. It was almost unbelievable what he can do with a bike! ~ Will

[@hello-dirt]

Beautiful!!! More please.

[@cosmeharzig9679]

Billy Your level is actually very high 😊 Your compétence on motorbike help you to ride on mtb Have the Same sensation coming drop mtb to enduro 2stroke 😅 Nice job La bise de France 🇫🇷

[@yz25075]

Top content right here! Both got skill in hand fair play

[@tosh9120]

One of your best videos, thanks.

[@DirtRocksRubber]

The perfect crossover.

[@dirtbikedave9055]

This is brilliant. You can't imagine my smile when this video popped up. Edit: what was the TBI like, Will? 😂😂😂

[@bikeradar]

Hi Dave, We’re glad you enjoyed it! The TE300i was awesome, it’s some machine! I like the electric start, but it was about the only thing I was able to manage to use to its potential 😂 ~ Will

[@TubbyTrialTeam]

Brilliant vid crazy bonkers skills!

[@glynotglen1098]

Well done. great build!

[@garymuckle1002]

Billy on any bike is The Boss

[@danhurley6152]

Everybody should have a trials bike of some sort in their garage and enter local trials and as baseline foundation to any bike sport even better if you can get your kids into it

[@neelsahay5227]

Man those new Husky’s look so good w the white.

[@mosca3289]

Super collaboration.

[@glenquinn7561]

Billy needs to up his moustache game😂

[@roo450]

e-bikes and dirt bikes ho hand in hand 👌🏼

[@moto3463]

This was such a sick video good stuff..Avid motocross diehard and this video was great. Us moto fellas will try anything with 2 wheels. Mountain biking is just as fun

[@bikeradar]

What you moto lot consider to be a 'normal' gap is, frankly, terrifying

[@tourminator1354]

More of this guys!

[@christhompson1708]

Excellent video, billy at half intensity prefer him at number 10 😂😉🤙

[@patrickgivens4900]

That was pretty awesome! Looked like a really fun day.

[@bikeradar]

Thanks Patrick, I had a wicked time and I think Bill did too! Although he scared me ALOT pushing me to do stuff on his motorbike!

[@lbeck119]

Freaking Legend😁🤘🤘 the lightning BOLT... don't feel bad son... Billy isn't mortal

[@bikeradar]

He's super-human, I'm sure of it! ~ Will

[@roik.6694]

Daa ,He is just happened to be one of the best riders in the world at the moment.

[@federaldelii]

Waoww that is a great episode 👍🏻👏🏻

[@bikeradar]

Thank you for the feedback! We had fun that's for sure! ~ Will

[@andreasvonwyl5134]

Well..Billy is bad ass..pretty good..as good as it gets..

[@TRG36]

Amazing athlete

[@sbbeowulf8296]

A lot of skills transfer over but the Moto bikes are just more intimidating than bikes

[@MrIh8hondas]

Moto may be more intimidating for you. For me it's the opposite. I grew up in the moto world and only recently got into mountain bikes. Not having a throttle to drive up a jump face or pin it when things get sideways isn't exactly confidence inspiring. I think a lot harder about comparatively tiny gaps on the mtb while something like a 70ft natural terrain double is almost pedestrian for me on the mx bike.

[@IronX77]

Should've had a Rocky Mountain along for the ride :)

[@richardnixon6764]

2stroke❤❤❤

[@MrAdambinnie]

Good on you Will 😂 really enjoyed this one

[@bikeradar]

Thanks Adam! Was a great couple of days getting show around and shown how to handle a motorbike by Billy! ~ Will

[@woodslisa4529]

[@bikeradar]

Thank you!

[@stuartpenn933]

Like to see Billy enter some DH races

[@bikeradar]

Hopefully he will soon! His E-Enduro results are really impressive... ~ Will

[@aaronyojimbo1753]

[@bikeradar]

Thanks Aaron, glad you enjoyed it! 🙏 ~ Will

Billy bolt top rider and winning more 😅

[@wx2999]

I'm surprised he doesn't ride Husqvarna ebikes

[@carlogigante5239]

Do you care to know why I got into Enduro riding? I was about to buy a full suspension bike.... Then I saw the prices. Bought a brand new 300 2t 😂😂

[@WerdnaLiten]

Mani & Bolts also ride MTBs; need to get them on as well......

[@bikeradar]

We would love to do a video with Mani! ~ Will

[@Extremegaz25]

Billy is one of the best

Dumb old German needs to improve his English skills to fully understand what this nice and funny Billy Bolt is talking about. ;-) I've been an enduro fan since I was a kid. (A time when Zündapp, Maico, CZ and Jawa were still at the start) But how this sport has evolved over the years is incredible. Nice video thanks guys

[@bobscott9253]

Too bad there’s no cameo of Tommy somewhere in the background…

[@bikeradar]

Would have loved to meet him too. Perhaps we can make a video with him in the future... Watch this space! ~ Will

He's a STRONG lad! I look like a kid next to him in the thumbnail 😂 ~ Will

[@garretthorner]

Bills a bit toned down when he's not on his vlog normally we'd have seen a few crashes ridiculous he somehow magically walks away from uninjured that would send anyone else to hospital 😂

[@masonlegendre2831]

Would have love to see him ride it with out a reclus clutch

[@PNW_Trials_Adventures]

He doesn't use an auto clutch.

[@emilylor5328]

After about 3 years the last Keurig stopped working kzbin.infoUgkxBrV-RbF5Nk0Rlt9i15aao-YMzqzTG8Vf initially was able to unblock, however eventually we couldn't fix. That one was a replacement unit sent by the manufacturer after we had problems with our very first Keurig. This works fine (lol, at least for now) however I didn't realize the water reservoir was so much smaller than our prior unit. With 2 people having one or two cups of coffee each morning, it seems like I'm refilling it daily. Otherwise just happy to have the convenience of pod coffee vs. making a morning pot.

[@nickwooden2103]

Surprised he’s not on a husky e-mtb??

The thing you should do is to change bike for ebike and ebike for bike. The mx rider can ride the ebike much better and the biker will stall the mx bike and whiskey throttle on the first start 😂😂😂
