Love it thank you 🙏

[@evonnie451]

Such a happy family!!!!! I love it

[@EddieBenitez3]

You are so kind!

[@synos0202]

Hey Benitez! You are an inspiration! I watched all your videos, I bought the gosen q7 ebike for my side hustle, I will start soon in montreal with doordash and ubereats! I also got a thermal bag 18x18 and a quadlock mount for my phone. Im super hyped! I will start doing deliveries only during lunch hour and diner hours. Keep the hustle brother!

[@EddieBenitez3]

Thanks brother! The Gosen Q7 that's a great choice! already has the rear rack and is foldable! NICE! Good luck to you out there. Have fun bro!

[@iandrew6347]

Loving Video Sir Chicago is looking good . Good luck with your bike as we say in the U.K. you need to take baby steps it will come been confident . Watching from the U.K.

[@EddieBenitez3]

Cheers Ian! Thank you 🙏. Baby steps yes sir!

[@DoctorBaconlung]

Since you already have the biking skills down, the biggest thing to learn is throttle control. Luckily you don't have to bother with a clutch on the Super Cub. Should be able to learn real quick! Just make sure you don't get over confident in your abilities, and wear your gear! Lookin forward to see you out there!

[@EddieBenitez3]

YES! no clutch to deal with! thanks man!

[@laphonz]

8:20 that was so badass

[@EddieBenitez3]

Thank you Laphonz!

[@harrellshomesteadwoodworks]

Really liked that time lapse turned to face the skyline, that was cool man. Sucks that you're getting screwed out of jobs, I hate that it's a mystery how the algorithm works with Uber Eats. But, I guess if they made it public people would game the system more than they do now. Keep up the grind man, it'll pay off!

[@EddieBenitez3]

As always thank you homeslice! Gonna keep this thing going until the wheels fall off.

[@ghostpanda_]

I've ridden for over 10 years, I got my licence while in the military. You gotta go through 3 courses (over a month of class) before you can get a license but gotta say was the best thing and I say made me a better rider. When I felt confident enough to do freeways (this was in Texas) I felt on top of the world, definitely work on your turns and manavoring will help you in the long run with cars.

[@EddieBenitez3]

Wow 3 courses! That feels about right. I appreciate it Panda. Thanks 🙏

[@BillyButtry]

Don't rush it Eddie take your time. get used to it first so there is no issues in transitioning in between the two.

[@EddieBenitez3]

Thanks Billy will do!

[@khanrides]

The goat uploaded 👀

[@EddieBenitez3]

lol thanks Khan!

[@malaysiatopcarta1414]

Hai from malaysian 🇲🇾 nice video sir 👍love it

[@EddieBenitez3]

Hello from Chicago thank you for watching!!

[@ricklopez4196]

Great videos man and that is a real nice bike.

[@EddieBenitez3]

Thanks Rick!

[@derwildeKnut]

As a german listening to someone talking about making driving license in the USA: =) we have to take 12 Theoretical lessons, 15 practical lessons on the bike with a driving instructor and then a 1 Hour driving test with someone from the dmv following you and watching every step, and then: 2000 USD for the license

[@EddieBenitez3]

I feel the US should adopt the learning aspect of it but not the 2000 usd....goodness that's expensive.

[@KINGPLOOF]

love your videos man!

[@EddieBenitez3]

Thank you Kazutoz!

[@123glass7]

Ccantwait for the moto dash vlogs

[@EddieBenitez3]

New one coming soon!

[@cerebrix]

man i wish they still sold the Delfast Prime

[@EddieBenitez3]

I'm right there with you. I would have kept upgrading if they kept making them.

[@DanielLopes-jt8yl]

High class pizza joint🍕

[@EddieBenitez3]

Yeah it is.

[@Giankpetrov]

Hi Eddie, do you think you are getting less order than previous year? Maybe people spending less money on delivery due to economic uncertainty?

[@EddieBenitez3]

Yes 100%

[@titusnixon]

Your Go pro battery seem to last a long time, minds not worth two dead flies. I see why I don't run into you, I do the lunch hour for now. But coming up I'll do both. I general do lunch hour go to the Library charge my battery and do some editing then do the dinner hour for about three hours. Like your editing skills

[@EddieBenitez3]

I carry a bunch of batteries lol see you out there at some point Im sure. your day sounds pretty nice.

[@titusnixon]

@Eddie Benitez Well, my passion comes first. Delivery food actually helps that's as a street photographer. I see things that I wouldn't have normally.

[@EddieBenitez3]

💪

[@KK-fw4zq]

is there doordash in Chicago? when I used to do food delivery in college. I got way more orders through doordash than ubereats. but I live in Atlanta so it might be different.

[@EddieBenitez3]

Yeah I went online with Dash for a while in this video. Doordash sucks bad for bikers in Chicago. It’s best for cars and I’m hoping motorcycles.

[@ROBB_DEEP]

One thing that I don’t like about the UberEats app is that you can’t “preview” the orders (items) before you accept it. Once you accept it, THEN you can see the details……then we have to cancel the order if we don’t like it (for our own personal reasons). Unless I’ve been doing something wrong? 🤔 PS what motorcycle did you ride during classes? I ride an electric moped 🛵 (sporty Vespa styled) in the streets, but for class I had to go with a Honda Rebel 250 🏍️ since they didn’t have any Scooters. Do you have a regular car drivers license? 🤔

[@EddieBenitez3]

agreed 100% I wish we could preview like you said. I can't even remember what kind of bike I was on. I want to say it was a 250 also. I do have a regular drivers license.

[@ROBB_DEEP]

@@EddieBenitez3 Yeah, that should go into the “feedback” bowl if they had one! Ok cool. 🤝🏾

[@ROBB_DEEP]

@@EddieBenitez3 Another thing I hate that no one seems to mention is…..orientation! I love landscape mode! We can only view the app in portrait mode… 😔

[@arcoom]

love your videos but I gotta say some of your decisions on the road are reckless. I'm talking about cutting off people who had the right of way such as at 17:25

[@EddieBenitez3]

They were fine. You said “some” and gave me one example. Being safe is my top priority but I’m also not perfect. They were fine. I startled them. Give me a break.

[@josuemorales2004]

Where did you buy the drink bag from?

[@EddieBenitez3]

I left a link for you in the description. its in my amazon store.

[@wolfpack3530]

Would like to know what light you have?

[@EddieBenitez3]

Check at delfastbikes.com my light came with the bike.

[@gsgangganggang6445]

Hey bro do you use e bike mode or regular bicycle in the u er eats app

[@EddieBenitez3]

Regular bike I never got the option of e bike

[@gsgangganggang6445]

@@EddieBenitez3 I just applied under bike waiting on background but reading under Reddit posts other riders have been able to contact support to change it to e-bike mode (more orders).

[@lasauto]

Will u still be able to use bike lanes ?

[@EddieBenitez3]

No unfortunately not. It’s going to be a big adjustment for me.

[@Biscuits-]

You don’t have a horn on there

[@EddieBenitez3]

I do.

[@justdrive5327]

Bro, when talking about bike or motorcycles its Ride not drive. You ride motorcycles

[@EddieBenitez3]

Dang it. I’m out here making a fool of myself lol 😂

[@jawid_]

Uber eats is dead, no? you're making 1/3 of what you used to make.

[@EddieBenitez3]

It’s on and off.

[@E-BikingAdventures]

New message from Amy K, My husband will be wearing a face diaper so it will be harder to see that he's asian.

[@EddieBenitez3]
