EBIKE VLOG #3 - New Bike for Mony! Night Ride in Fort Collins Colorado

[@lehsu]

This is a fun video to watch. Almost like you bringing us along with your adventure. Do more of these.

[@SoshiMECH]

No way I would go back to riding a non-E-bike... I feel tired just watching you guys ride up those hills... and it is so slow... I love my NEO 29er!

[@ElectricBikeReview]

That's a great bike! Yeah, it's definitely different riding an ebike, you can cover way more ground in the same amount of time

[@OCSreal]

Love these let's ride vlogs. Looks like a beautiful part of the world to live ! Thanks for sharing :)

[@Chrisb8s]

I am jealous of that park. Looks fun

[@quantum12b]

Great vlog dude ;0) Really enjoyed meeting Mony, seeing her get her new bike and going out on her first :0) Thanks for sharing ;0)

[@ElectricBikeReview]

Awesome! Thanks Terry, we had a great time out there... It's interesting trying to film and share an experience like this but it made me smile to watch, good memory :)

[@quantum12b]

That's what it's all about! Those memories are priceless ;0)

[@atlasking6110]

Cool vid. FoCo rocks! I live near CSU, wish I lived closer to the foothills.

[@panzercom2002]

She's a dynamo, you may have your hands full. Been watching your channel for a couple years now, not quite ready for an electric bike but I enjoy your reviews. Maybe some more gear reviews as well? The Bell Super 2 was a nice one.

[@АлексейЗамараев-ъ6т]

Потрясающие ребята, классная поездка.

[@UDX-340]

That was a fun video.

[@chebachaka]

Who would have thought our boy Court was such a pimp....

[@tokol1000]

Cool vid nice and muddy ride. Hey if you should come back to the sf bay area you should do a ebike meet up. Pretty sure alot of ebike rider will be happy to ride with you.

[@juannoval69]

Court, these are turning out to be fun videos and I greatly enjoy them. I tend to ride alone so it looks like fun to have a partner along. Trying to talk my wife into riding with me. 😀 Btw, where is Monica from? She sounds like she's from a spanish speaking country but not sure which one. Anyhow, fun video. 👍

[@landonhillyard]

So do you think the BBSHD would fit above the down frame support instead of below?

[@GSmashGaming]

now I don't have a regular bike but I have a recumbent bike I've had it since 2011 just got some maintenance done on it actually. Just wrote it on Timberline and Prospect

[@3dkiller]

cool footage i really enjoyed it

[@ElectricBikeReview]

Thanks! I realize it was a little dark... very excited for some upcoming rides in different places :D

[@pabloshaciendos3914]

Nice friend court! In a few years you will need a transport ebike for the beautiful offspring.....

[@wjf213]

I'm just catching up on your videos from the past few days, and going to be watching the others shortly. I really like that dash board at the bottom of the screen. That's all the info you could really want until you get into the ebike again. Then does it have any info on the battery state of charge or anything? That would be cool to watch as you go on rides longer than a few miles. I know this was just more of a quick fun ride with a new bike and the girlfriend, who by the way is a fine as frog hair, split fours ways and sanded or in other words, you're a damn lucky dude to have a woman like that. I like the way you supported her and encouraged her as well. You're a good man in a world where few good men are left. I was wondering, did she get a water bottle carrier on her bike? I know that's one of your items on the check list when doing reviews. haha Keep up the great work, and looking forward to seeing more riding videos as well as reviews.

[@ElectricBikeReview]

Thanks for the compliments, I care about Mony a lot! She's a great person and an awesome support... we have a lot of fun and actually just went riding again yesterday! Her bicycle does indeed have a bottle cage, it's right below the rear shock. She's loving the bike and really impressed with how well it climbs. Her older bike didn't have the gear range and was heavier even though it was a hardtail :D

[@MakThaNife]

Man, that trail is nice! Her handlebars look uncomfortable though. Why are they so low on modern bikes?

[@GVUnfolded]

Nice!! keep up the good work

[@ichtube]

You sounded so patient with her. You kept saying this means easier that means harder, dumbing down your language. That was interesting. Btw, how do you get the info at the bottom. That looked very cool. Unless it's a secret.

[@rcforever3437]

awesome new video. Cheers. keep it up bro .

[@ElectricBikeReview]

Thanks! I've been experimenting with some different ideas (like the gps ride stats thing) and it's fun to go riding with friends and get different feedback... Later this year Mony and I will test some ebikes together and I feel like she'll have some interesting perspectives to add :)

[@AccidentalBroadcast]

Nice VIDDY Cort! You found an overlay app! :) what did you end up using?

[@ElectricBikeReview]

I bought a Garmin Edge 1,000 and used the data from that to build a custom dashboard. The plan is to do more rides in different places and let people scrub forward and back using the little map thing to see different parts of the trail and consider going or just get inspired about cycling! Any places you'd like to see?! Bought a regular bike because some places don't allow ebikes yet and I want to follow the rules there. I'll also be doing a head to head comparison of the Levo vs. the Stumpjumper since they share a similar geometry and come from the same company :D

[@AccidentalBroadcast]

+ElectricBikeReview.com wow, very cool! I love all the realtime data it provides! I'd love to see an elevation ride. Something that shows what a full charge can really do via mid drive. I've been riding my little 52v 7ah all over the place and am close to pulling the trigger on a 60v 24ah! I love this ebike world to say the least. So stealthy

[@gonesellin]

Do a review on your Garmin! I have an old Edge 800 but they to have advanced so much since then.

[@ElectricBikeReview]

Cool, I'd like to do a review like that eventually... so many things to check out on my list right now!! Planning to use it a bit longer before reviewing so I can gain some insights. Anything in particular you're interested in seeing or learning?

[@gonesellin]

Cool, I would say I'm want to see how good the mobile sync features are? To have phone messages come through while you're riding would be so convenient. Also how good the maps are. I have maps for my country on the Edge 800 but I find the screen is a bit too small and low res to really be useful. I wanted to use it for walking around while travelling in Europe but it was too much bother.

[@guysenpauline]

Have you tried the e glide single gear electronic bike?

[@eleelife]

Hey dude. What kind of bikes do you currently own? Could you make a video talking about your bikes n gear?

[@ElectricBikeReview]

Yeah! I'm actually working on something like this right now... Got the Specialized Turbo Levo Expert and a Stromer ST1 Limited

[@eleelife]

+ElectricBikeReview.com Sounds great. I appreciate the time you put in to make these vids. If you ever decided to come to Toronto shoot me a msg

[@cresshead]

cool Vlog good to see you GF has joined in the fun of biking too, lovin the readout on the bottom of the video...how's that done?

[@ElectricBikeReview]

Glad you noticed that! I can customize what's shown and basically put everything up, what are the most important stats for you? I did that using data from a Garmin Edge 1000 gps

[@cresshead]

maybe do a review of the Garmin and options for loggin rides generally..I just use 'map my walk' currently on the phone and choose 'cycle' :)

[@bonilla2022]

great video ! 8-) I liked the data display. Did you do that in post production? Keep up the good work!

[@ElectricBikeReview]

Yeah! Added those overlays and picked the arrangement and color... Used the Garmin Edge 1000 data, edited the video once in iMovie then the Garmin Virb software. Turned out pretty good :D

[@rdkuless]

Hello Court. Mony is beautiful.. You make a nice couple because you compliment each other. :) Nice bike Mony..! You can call this video, "eBIKE VLOG #3, show me the Mony" :D

[@monylujan79]

HAHAHAHAHAHAH that is awesome Robert!

[@rdkuless]

Hello Monica.. Have Court bring you to PDX for a visit. You two can stay with me. Bring your cool bikes and let's visit the beautiful, local farmers market and ride all the bike specific trails here in the beautiful NW. Nice to meet you. Robb

[@monylujan79]

you are so kind Robert! thanks for that! will do it!

[@AZPilot007]

Did you move to Colorado?

[@NWforager]

Shes Fit as heck ,keeping up with an ebike as a 1st timer .

[@ElectricBikeReview]

Mony's in great shape! We were both on regular bikes for this ride, I'll be doing some comparisons of electric vs. pedal power over time and we wanted to be able to go on some paths where electric isn't officially allowed yet without upsetting anyone :)

[@NWforager]

oh ! so wasn't just the great view from behind getting your heart rate up then . lol

[@TimoKrausMedia]

OH I want this bike xD

[@dshieh4vids]

How do you sync the video to the stats?

[@ElectricBikeReview]

I used a Garmin Edge 1000 with software for the Garmin Virb. You can import data files then I manually aligned them with the ride :)

[@rainerschloemann6317]

where the lights

[@pibblesnbits]

Mony makes this guy look weak. Damn straight she has nice legs, she works for em. I think he should shave his chest and continue driving the Prius.

[@gerardogama120769]

She is cute!

[@rmfungaro]

No motor assistance! :-)

[@ElectricBikeReview]

Yeah, she's training for a race and there are trails I want to record where ebikes aren't allowed yet... Eventually I'll do a video where I compare my ride stats using an unpowered bicycle to one with electric assist :)

[@Cody196]

I just bought aw 48v 1000w ebike kit from ebay, it was 175$ plus another $50 for standard 12v 7.2ah 4 pack SLA battery pack to stat off with, i will eventually upgrade to either additional 4 pack for serial/parallel connection of SLA or go with building my 18650 pack. I plan on doing a build / review video of my bike and thought about sending it to you. @electricbikereview.com

[@fatbikefreak5962]

Shoulda got her a Fat Bike. Girls like big things...

[@ElectricBikeReview]

That's actually exactly what we plan to do! Heading to a beach later this year to test some fat bikes and folding mini fat bikes :D

[@3dkiller]

lol do not shave your chest man ! unless you want to be a girly man :-)

[@ElectricBikeReview]

Aerodynamics XD

[@sipapito]

Is she a latina girlfriend?

[@ElectricBikeReview]

Sí, ella es de México originalmente :D

[@sipapito]

Oh wow did not know you speak Spanish that's great, you should be able to reach more viewers.I'm from Mexico myself but leaving in Germany!Looking forward to the reviews of you two together. You get to eat great Mexican food if she cooks for you.

[@ElectricBikeReview]

I'm still learning Spanish but she's a good teacher... we plan to review some ebikes in Mexico soon actually!
