What a sick opportunity to rip that thing around! Hopefully you can “test” a nice GT3 in the next upload 😉

[@planepower8523]

Congrats on the collaboration! Tell Porsche you did a fabulous job and that bike is so cool.

[@mikeanderson9977]

appreciate the explanation on torque sensor vs cadence sensor. I have a Bafang Mid drive on my Kona UTE and it is awkward in tight corners.

[@McGowJobs]

It felt a little like a TST video there at the beginning, and that's not a bad thing.

[@BwvertriebDe]

It's really cool that Porsche has also released its own e-bike. So that you have developed further with it.

[@Frorideism]

As a full-time MTB aesthetics expert, this build does not perform on a particularly high level in the style section, it has that "Straight-out-of-Aliexpress" look, but with a Porsche Badge.

[@bigblock146]

I actually wrote to Porsche design about how shit this bike looks. It looks like a Walmart dunger with a nice paint job. The term "polished turd" comes to mind.

[@anielyantra1]

Hahaha! My day is now complete. I have been harping on how the bike industry was mimicking the race car industry like Porsche.....Now that is ACTUALLY true. You are a Porsche kinda guy and I am a Rambler kinda guy. Steel, one speed, street bike not a teched out, carbon, MTB.

[@mattd7814]

Loved that overly dramatic intro! No Spindatt discount code at Porsche of Halifax? 😂

[@_Justinriceism_]

Had a real Hardtail Party vibe with the kit on that ride

[@underbikedoverconfident1142]

I love me a 911! Great intro and a good opportunity to test the bike. I'm not loving the huge head tube (it makes the fork look weird). The rear sleek look is kind of nice though.

[@Mclovinthedank]

You know the bike industry has gone to far with over engineered over priced parts, when a german luxury car brand wants to get into the space. I liked the video and this is amazing oppurtinuty for you and this channel. Please always tinker on budget bikes!

[@BlueGoose2]

love that park tools shirt, it took me almost the whole vid to notice

[@fraji1]

I’m here for the shirt 👍.

[@Capriboy1972]

Had a track day recently and the gt3 was awesome. I do like that bike though, awesome!! 😎😎

[@nommchompsky]

You going as Hardtail Party for Halloween?

[@markday1714]

cool shirt

[@AdamArkens]

This intro 🔥

[@nathanzhou2065]

Why don’t u ride fixed anymore 😢

[@mistermoore5784]

10:30 Demonstrating an ability many riders do not partake in: One-handed riding a MTB for 10-15 minutes OVER janky tread WHILE talking.

[@DJaquithFL]

Well I can understand spending $15K on an eBike, spending that much for a freaking chain driven bike NFW! For that money, the Riese & Müller Homage4 GT Rohloff for cross country.

[@feedbackzaloop]

It's always such cringe when auto brands make bikes. Good this time they just opted to slightly redesign a production model. Just strange they chose a maker from Hessen, not Baden-Wurttemberg

[@jimbrittain402]

How are you not talking about that Park Tool Hawaiian shirt?

[@eggfryedrice]

I almost didnt catch for the first 3 seconds 🤣

[@danielreynolds5012]

When i have my midlife crisis and somehow have oodles of cash to burn, ill be buying a 911. But not the ebike (although it's dripping with some seriously sexy components!!)! Did you have to leave your credit card behind in the showroom!!??!

[@edith9588]

I really don’t care about cars, but you managed to make me interested in Porsche’ for a moment there.

[@jerrycaskey4483]

I'm just here for racecar content

[@ritchiedanna789]

Ep8 hasa cadance sensor as well. Takes the torque cadance and speed into account to give you proportional assist.

[@TheBassman396]

Back in the 90s I had a AMP B3 which was at the time the Porsche bike model it was a great bike until the threads in the bb no longer were threads lol

[@soulzeug]

In my memory the Amp Bike had been labeled as a Mercedes bike. Not Porsche…. yes? no?

[@las_lucas]

That’s such an amazing opportunity, in the end I think only people who owns Porsches will buy this bike cause there’s no real competition with the bike industry.

[@eggfryedrice]

Torque sensor on the cranks sounds very interesting. Is this common on most ebikes?

[@SpencerBaum]

Yep. All Electric mountain bikes use this system regardless of the motor.

[@thomasmassey7295]

How does a mid-drive motor compare to a hub motor?

[@rckrckrckrck]

They are very expensive for the configuration. A similar priced Santa Cruz would be an absolutely top end build.

[@sarge_on_wheels]

German bike, German tires, Japanese motor system? Surprised they didn’t use Bosch.

[@joshuabuilds3051]

Dont people not like the 996? Ugly headlights or something? I dont really care about Porsches lol

[@zacharyord8618]

One thing about specialized is that they don't sound like a tube tv when riding lololol I absolutly can't stand that noise. I won't ride the orbea rise because of that reason alone lol.

[@christiankilleen7626]

That ebike looks awesome. I like the torque style motor far more than the cadence style. It's awesome that it gets you to save your energy and make the climbs and the flats easier so you can enjoy more of the trails. Great video.

[@geraldfilmore6978]

Awesome vid. That bike ain’t pretty tho idc what anyone says !

[@donttouchthisatall]

Fyi - Rotwild is german for "deer" (kind of) ;) - not rot in the wild

[@gaberomero1740]

What about it’s quirks and features?

[@COMotorsports]

Great video. Everyone buy his merch and support his channel.

[@aeshultz55]

So where does one get a Park Tool shirt?

[@92redferrari]

When do you get to try out the Ferrari road bike?

[@parisrose5766]

Well worth the wait.

[@UntouchableSavage]

Not worth 16k with tax

[@EriebyCycle]

How cool is that?! What a great opportunity. See if they'll let you take to the jump place grand opening.

[@Altema22]

I snickered at the price at first, but it turned out to be a genuinely great bike and I loved to see you ripping on the trails with it. There's a big difference between a basic cadence sensor system and dynamic cadence sensing systems, and the latter is good enough to prefer over a torque sensor in some situations. Thanks for the video, and I thought the intro was cool!

[@derykworrall1833]

Ride moderately priced bikes.....unless it's a Porsche. Or is the plan to hit us with an epic tinker Tuesday where the Norton gets electrified?

[@mitmon_8538]

Daw, Porche could have been real cool and worked with the former Porche engineers at Pinion to add their new Internal gearbox with a motor for this bike. But that would have made the bike go from $$$$$$ to $$$$$$$$. I think it even has electric shifting. I've never ridden them, but people say the Pinion internal gearbox at the crank makes a full sus bike way more fun since the back wheel is super light.

[@johnnydoe66]

I may not desire an E-bike, but I really desire to own a 911. The Porsche 911 has been my dream car since middle school when I saw my first one in the late 70's.

[@MichaelJosephJr934]

Top speed?

[@Spindatt]

Probably 32kph

[@michaellofaso1351]

Stellar vid Eric! Those beginning shots were money! Also I think you're hilarious.

[@SuperJulioes]

Beautiful bike but I would be so afraid to scratch it. It would be a art display for me.

[@jjaeks5518]

My worlds colliding. Love the car content haha I'm a wrx hatch boi

[@markooivo]

That was a great review and a fun video to watch! Well done :)

[@Zzyyxx22]

This video deserves to do well. I hope it flies.

[@glennpettersson9002]

You know it's a thing when the big boys want in.

[@timleborgne]

Man I'm loving this vid, loved the intro!!

[@timleborgne]

Such beautiful riding and shooting:)!

[@markifi]

silly looking thing. half of the curves serve no purpose. it's like having saline implants for muscles

[@Rob-zf2cv]

This channel used to be quite good... the trasher bash... bike mods... the garage build... but lately it's been about watching you ride your bikes (which is a bit boring really) and now this... a Porsche wet dream bike for the poshies 😂
