[@embn]

Happy Holidays from all of the crew at EMBN! We hope you get out on the bikes for plenty of fully charged adventures 🤘

[@charlieblume2546]

Happy Birthday Steve and merry Christmas..keep on keeping on! My Birthday is also today and at 79 I'm still riding my turbo levo gen 2. Thanks for a great show.

[@WilliamrikerNCC1701]

Second, canyon of course, lol! Ongoing battery issues and poor support and updates. But ya, let’s keep raving about how great they are.

[@Numberofbillion]

Happy Birthday Steve & keep doing what you're doing everyone. How about planning a trip to Aus at about this time of year? Summer is on atm, endless warm days & nights are around the corner. All but 2 BikeParks in the country are completely free. Maybe join Sam (Sam's Bikes) on his annual trip back home. P.S. have you tried that long DH saddle (tioga) yet? I have😁

Happy Festivus for the Restofus. Just got my Amflow carbon Pro in Australia 3 Days ago. It's everything you Journalists say it is. Beautifully designed ,built and Technology way ahead of the rest. Quiet, light, smooth power with heaps of Mumbo-jumbo. E=mtb² or is the Amflow E =mtb³

[@raketoped663]

Thank you, merry Christmas and Happy Birthday

[@alexerioeduardo2844]

I think what them amflow exposed how the ebike segment had been resting on their laurels since the explosion of COVID sales. And you don't need to have pedigree in bike design to be a contender as we've settled now on trail bike geometry for some time.

[@LlenadeMalo]

That’s exactly it. It shows you that they have just not made any improvements on e-bike motors or tech for years. ZF and DJI came in and exposed the old brands for lagging way behind. Bosch comes out with their Gen 5 and it is incredibly underwhelming. How it doesn’t rattle? JFC.

[@sersolo3112]

​@LlenadeMalo bosch is doing it perfect they are fine tuning their motors slowly overtime when you make drastic changes you run into a lot of problems that brings down reliability and quality example Mercedes cars they change engines all the time they are complete unreliable money pits - toyota slowly refined it's engines over the years and almost stayed the same and they known to be the best selling with the best reliability

[@krehme]

Happy birthday Steve! I appreciate you! I cheer for you and your valuable content you bring to the channel. I wish you many more active, adventurous years!

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEVE EMBN

[@Mtb9r]

Nothing better than my ol husky. Everything Steve says about his Whyte is how i feel about my Husky.

[@tombain5220]

Happy birthday and a merry xmas to you guys. Fyi if you ever make it out to So Utah, Yant Flat is sandy AF. It's a loop and the return is tons of blow sand. Beautiful hike.

[@rickmoz]

Merry Christmas EMBN

[@demondavejeep]

Happy Birthday Steve and merry christmas to all .Now i want get my bike fix .

[@anthonystanden5073]

Happy Birthday Steve and merry Christmas to you all

[@Holloweve]

Is it the battery problems that aren’t resolved until next year effectively making the canyon unusable that makes it better than any other emtb apart from the Amflow ?

[@drahoslavhorvath]

Merry Christmas to you!

[@armourbl]

It is cool seeing the flagship bikes, but really wish you would do a mash-up review of the more attainable models. Hard to find good info on the standard model stuff. I know it comes down to group sets and suspension, but I'm sure some are pretty good for most of us.

[@reiddryden9805]

Neil When you finally get the range of motion, learn how to walk up stairs backwards . IMHO the best way to get knee stability, the hyper extension is where it’s at Don’t push too hard, get the maximum range of motion that you can, ApPy New Year to all 🇨🇦🤠🇦🇺

[@tomcagle5324]

Steve, dude! You look great...for a century plus? 😂 Haha, no seriously good stuff in the channel! Now you need to cover the ZF-90 on a Raymon for a proper trail review and a good start in '25.

[@Paulo-fr3xm]

Steve and the Don, great combo, merry Xmas guys

[@Mtb9r]

Merry Christmas gents.

[@jorgemonegal4994]

Merry Christmas to both of you, LEGENDS, and all your team of EMBN.

[@embn]

Thanks Jorge! Enjoy Christmas this year 😁

[@xclent1975]

Merry Christmas 🎄🎁 Happy Birthday Steve

[@islandaerial3414]

Welcome to the 60s! Mine is on the 28th...

[@Nomads_Rowing]

AMFlow then Canyon - wot a surprise! 🙄

[@CraigDuka]

Have a good one guys.

[@Pep4dalovofcars]

Happy New Year love the channel. Just got Merida eOne sixty 400 9speed 630watt I’m 117 kg 6’3 tall I think this bike is unreal for the entry level good quality bike end the nine speed cassette I’m not missing any other gears. It’s really good.

[@NickBerry70s]

Had to chuckle at Steve's Fenix, monitoring his wine consumption. My Fenix isn't that sophisticated, but it does reprimand me in the morning after, with shocking sleep performance and HRV dipping frighteningly below my recommended. I guess it's telling me the same, but with a little more tact!!! Now which emoji....

[@didgineil]

Happy holidays and seasons greetings guys, can’t wait to hopefully yourself Neil being back able to ride, take it easy dude. See you all next yr 🎉🎄

[@andymtb3212]

Hardly any of Moab’s singletrack is open to e-bikes. Hopefully more get approved soon but not yet.

[@billderas3420]

Please let me know when Neil will be in Moab in 2025. Has to be either spring or fall for best riding conditions. Only a 750 mile drive for me. After that, we could come back to Lake Tahoe to do the Flume Trail, Mr. Toad's Wild Ride and Downieville Downhill. All within an hour or two from my home in Reno, Nevada. Plus...we could talk "knees".

[@mikebirkett010]

"Are you hanging up your stockings on the wall"... na na na na "It's the time of year that Santa's have a ball" na na na na "Does he ride a red nosed reindeer, do a ton up in a sleigh, do the faireys keep him sober for a day?".... So here it is, merry christmas.......... In the words of the imortal Max Boyce "I know, because i was there" when it was first releast 🎅

[@JackOfHearts42]

I finally went EV on my car, I'm going to have to go Ebike soon on my MTB to complete the package.

[@EnriqueNestorAEseo]

Merry Christmas to all EMBN host & happy birthday more power & more bikes ...from ESEO FAMILY in Vienna Austria

[@embn]

Merry Christmas to you and yours too!

[@DavidJones-lw2lp]

HB Jonesy! Happy Xmas to you all! In your opinion based on two particular pieces of content in the video which is the Amflow model to go for? The PL Carbon or the PL Carbon Pro? I know where my money is going but interested in your opinion obviously. 👍🏻

[@VadikRamm]

I wish you nothing but the best of traction in the 2025th! I also wish to extend this challenge to you: Upload all your videos in 4K! from 2025 on!

[@embn]

We're working on the 4k thing! It takes a lot of file storage and edit time. Our bigger features certainly will be

[@johndonnelly9832]

Ok boys in your opinion what is the best bike for 2024 Happy Christmas

[@EnriqueNestorAEseo]

I hope not only the expensive bikes is the best of 2024...and how about the afford bikes they are also the best... like my bike from germany name CUBE...my cube action team

[@sersolo3112]

Amflow got temu paint quality

[@jaredmathews2983]

Moab is not e-bike friendly, you would be better off going to St George, UT.

[@XennialGuy]

I hate to say this guy's, but, I think you need to spin off a USA version of the channel. I'm seeing a lot of products and bikes that you guys feature that are not available in the US, and it's becoming its own market here. Bike manufacturers are really missing out, but I feel that half the channel viewers are here in the US, but we don't have access to many of the products you guys feature. An example is AmFlow.

[@darrenoneill1222]

Worst Paint Job Of 2024 goes to DJI Amflow 🏆👏

[@Tieff-o9f]

Hi Steve, Neil, and the amazing EMBN team! 🎄🎉 Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a fantastic New Year! I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you for the incredible work you do. Your passion for e-MTBs and your dedication to the community shine through in every video, post, and project. You've inspired so many of us to get out, ride, and push the boundaries of what’s possible on two wheels. Think you don’t know, but you made the best Christmas gift for me: featuring my pic in the Bike Vault-it was such a super nice surprise (waited so long for it)! Thanks so much for that, it truly made my holiday! Keep up the amazing work-you're making a real difference, one ride at a time! Can’t wait to see what’s next for EMBN in 2025. 🚵‍♂⚡ Cheers, Tieff
