China ebike culture | my favorite transportation in Chinese cities 在中国的电动车

#ebikes #china #expat
Are ebikes the best mode of transportation in China? Spoiler alert! Yes, they definitely are. Ok, that might be a little bit of a biased opinion, but at the very least ebikes are one of the most interesting modes of transportation in China.
You might be considering purchasing an ebike or have heard of them and are just curious. In this video I sit down with my good friend Murray to discuss all things ebike in China.

With the pandemic, we've seen the E-Bike sector get pushed into the spotlight as sales soared the past months in the US with many reputable brands such as Super73, Onyx, Juiced, and more providing quality machines to get around the city as genuine alternatives for transportation. The communities within these E-bikes are very passionate about what they ride and shows a bright future for E-bikes as a method of transportation in the US.

Personally i prefer e-bikes over cars as city transport mainly due to the fact cars get stuck in traffic jams and e-bikes don't. It is usually the case that e-bikes are significantly faster than cars to get you from A to B in a city. The only big drawback of e-bike is range when used in a mega city like Shanghai, where the 50KM range may no longer be sufficient.

Hey Mate, appreciate your content and would love to see more videos on e-bikes, and other forms of transportation in China. I'm thinking about moving their and doing some research on ways I could quickly get place to place. So far, it's looking good. Thanks again.

Here in the u.s i ride a yamaha cruiser. Glad that e bikes are becoming popular glonally

[@shilongtang549]

about 15years ago I bought my first e bike with 48V battery. that is very small town, maybe after every 4-6days need to recharge.

[@annefaucett3990]

Loved it May the Lord continue to bless

[@ohwell2790]

Live in Arizona USA and do not own a car. I have an electric bike and a Kymco Like 200i a 2012 and I am 76. The scooter is really fun as is the electric.

[@sgcghvhjb]

That’s so cool!

[@xlgoldfish]

I need to buy an ebike...been chatting Alibaba sellers. Wishing I have someone in China:)

[@rafaburdzy449]

I use to ride ebike in Shenzhen. then I imported my bike to Europ I still ues it

[@user-qb9be6jz8m]

Probably you can add James Harden's story to the end of this video just for fun. Did you heard about the recent news that he was stopped by a policeman in shanghai when riding an ebike and carrying a passage. The cop was later named to be the only man being able to defend(stop) James without any help. Just Google “单防哈登的男人”

[@globalvagrant1392]

Hahahaha yes! I heard about that. It's so funny

[@LYZELECASIGINAN]

MUCH BETTER THAN THE PHILIPPINES

[@just4interest996]

This is the thing I miss about China, my fucking ebike lol and the thing is it would work great in the west as well if it’s allowed on the road.

[@basketballfundamentals2680]

This video is good. I’m not just saying that because of the loser with two accounts. This is epic for real. 🙏🏼💙

[@globalvagrant1392]

Daniel is all of my views and comments on this vid, but all with different accounts hahaha

[@odgarig8601]

Are there no ebikes in the States? I thought every developed country had these.

[@globalvagrant1392]

There may be some. I never see them, although we do have the rental e bikes and scooters now.

[@leonardliu5600]

So why this type of ebike is rare in foreign countries?

[@kahomes]

在中国不用驾照，买了直接骑行。

[@simpleguy38]

Why e-bikes are ban in major cities of China?

[@globalvagrant1392]

I'm not sure... I know they are everywhere in hangzhou. If u get outside of the city center areas of Shanghai they're there too. So, perhaps it's certain areas they are trying to make seem more legit. I personally love ebikes and wish they were allowed everywhere

[@kahomes]

只有燃油摩托车禁止，电动车不禁止。

[@infoworld7706]

no ebike ban, only gasline motor ban

[@vincestithit381]

Why don't you just wear a proper jacket and gloves? What's up with all the goofy warm weather protection, thick jacket and riding gloves will fix all that. It's not like China doesn't make them.

[@globalvagrant1392]

I guess so when they hope off their ebike they don't have to take off all the layers lol and that proper gear is expensive. somehow cold always gets in too so it's nice to have that extra protection against the elements.

[@orangewhiteneko]

Clothes are very cheap in China because of its strong industry. The reason why them don't wear jackets is they don't want to take of their clothes when getting into an air-conditioned room.

[@mcmillancollins4471]

Now take ebike battery out to apartment charge, is been forbidden by China low, sad.

[@globalvagrant1392]

Why would they ban that?

[@mcmillancollins4471]

@@globalvagrant1392 because lithium batteries have possibilities to cause fire, now only charge outside home be allowed ( using electric bicycle park lot or something). Although You can still stealth put your ebike batteries out to home to charge, just don't be found by the city community security
