Is This The Toughest Place To Ride An E Bike? | EMTB Highlands Hard Line Epic

[@sionjones1675]

Ooh, a heads up, you CAN turn the motor off, and still have the Kiox navigate for you - just keep pressing down to go from e-mtb, Tour, Eco, and OFF. The head unit will stay powered.

[@andrewhurrell07]

Great video Steve these videos are what embn should be about getting into nature like we all like to do on our Ebikes 👍

[@470danadidas]

Probably your best video to date. And probably the best scenery too. As remote as you can get. Absolutely amazing. More like this please... Adrian cracks me up. 😂. Ill be going to Molini again sometime.

[@sortemout6]

Totally agree - that looks fantastic, I would love to do the same route

[@davidking3699]

What fantastic scenery... great effort (including by the rarely seen camera person (who was probably carrying the most gear anyway)

[@alfordmick]

Absolutely, considering all the extra to and fro they have to do they should get more of a "big up" now and again.

[@cramaj1]

Probably the best day you will ever spend on a bike if you ever get the chance. Stunning descents and scenery. Great work EMBN.

[@embn]

Thanks for the kind words, it was definitely an epic ride!

[@FritzPhoto]

my type of adventure. Was in Scotland for two weeks this summer. Lucky with the weather and enjoyed it so so much.

[@BDX55]

Same here. We are normally in the Greek Islands in the summer but went to Scotland as didn’t want to fly under the current conditions. It rates as one of my most enjoyable holidays. We did the NC500 and stayed in Torridon and spent a week in Fort William so rented a couple of Cube Reactions as we had never ridden eBikes before and wanted to give it a try. That did it. We ordered two Kathmandus when we got home to replace our two Specialized (we’re more into Touring and Trekking than mountain biking).

[@johndarch5439]

Proper mountain biking. Great video.

[@jeffriley2502]

Great adventure. Tough ride on a bike. 👍

[@kevinkellett2956]

I did the lollipop route last year on my mk1 Bronson, brilliant.

[@seanmccann7924]

WOW what a stunning place, well done guys!

[@caroldave4037]

Absooooooooooooooooootly top viewing well done.....aided with superb soundtrack

[@brucedecker5590]

Fantastic video Steve and Adrian (and camera dude). Thank you Cube for sponsoring this adventure. Loved every second of it.

[@andrewnicholas187]

Wow amazing.

[@mortonfrankfire5400]

We were in Torridon this time last year. I hired a guide for my son and I and was super excited. When the morning of the ride came my Kenevo wouldn’t turn on 😩 I was gutted. The kicker was, when I got home. It started working again 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@danielchapman3875]

You guys are great! Wish I could travel to the places you go!

[@Alanvictoryoung]

An amazing ride and adventure guys! I always carry a bottle of 5hr empathy in case my riding buddies forget to charge the second battery or the battery key!

[@michaeldean7226]

What a wonderful place . Great video as always. Really enjoyed. well done lads. Awesome 👌

[@scargoprods]

Great video again, guys!

[@crimsonhawk467]

1000 likes! What an adventure!

[@romeocollado6133]

i love this video and as usual very nicely narrated

[@stevekelleher8900]

that was incredible,loved it

[@burnx45]

What a fun adventure. You guys should have used a dual battery ebike with 1125Wh such as Orbea Wild FS or SCOTT Genius eRIDE. You could also carry an extra external 500Wh battery for those bikes and then have a total of 1625 Wh. You could probably do 100 miles with that setup. Perhaps in a another video you can do a long trip on a dual battery ebike. I personally have a 2020 Specialized turbo levo comp and I don't know if my bike could make that trip on one battery with 700 Wh. Thanks for the great entertainment of the videos.

[@Only-one-life-68]

Thank you 😊 For sharing this great trip with us all.. What a place.. William Wallace would certainly of travelled those paths along with rob roy MacGregor

[@nigelcopestake3618]

Absolutely awesome 👍👍👍

[@sciottom1993]

loving cube emtb i have a hardtail its fun riding cube and finaly a cube

[@stevozrepto5558]

Awesome 🏁☘️👍🏁👍🏁👍 I have a CUBE not electric or too fancy

[@johanneskult9014]

WOW! Where did u start that amazing tour?

[@computerbob06]

So when is Steve's book of poetry coming out!?

[@julianshepherd2038]

Learn how to use a map and compass and waterproof the map. Anything else is life threatening in the Highland mountains. You were lucky. The weather can totally change in minutes.

[@roll1n]

Love these adventure videos. Would be awesome to know more about how to plan a route on Komoot and syncing with Kiox, didn't know that was possible. Mentioned at 5:30.

[@danielhaynes9646]

There is nowhere quite like the Scottish Highlands for atmosphere and scenery........and that's coming from an Englishman. :)

[@mikemorgan8588]

Being from the U.S. Pacific Northwest, I had to wonder how you can get lost in a treeless terrain.😁

[@vonyp6018]

I'm just off to ride my cube 140 sl in cyb...... I got to stop myself going every day !

[@brianbathgate4944]

Excellent video! How did you find the Schwables on that terrain? Torridon tore my Minions to shreds last month… was thinking of trying Cushcore, but maybe Schwables are worth a try?

[@neilelliston]

Which was better, 140 or 160

[@f3nic86]

Yup the midges are something elese there had to cut my riding trip short cos its so bad

[@better.better]

I can't believe you didn't finish with what level of battery you had left at the end after building up all that drama about it

[@craigweightman799]

Simply wow a great video but what a spanner for not charging your battery 🤦😂

[@michaeljohnstone2214]

Distance and elevation do not tell the correct story of riding here. Double the effort you think will be required.

[@cramaj1]

4 miles everywhere else gets you 1 mile here in my experience.

[@benwalton9394]

@@cramaj1 I can confirm this was accurate!!

[@TheOrangep7]

No way could I See myself doing that on my orange five.

[@tomaszslaczalek7505]

Poprostu piękne

[@fuckinellitsraymo]

I'm having a good laugh at a Welshman attempting Gaelic place names. Its not strictly Torridon but the South Coulin forest you were riding in. The lollipop route is my favourite but there is another route just West a little called the Beinn Damph loop which gives you another stunning descent.

[@kiltymacbagpipe]

I wouldn’t even attempt this on an acoustic bike. Or maybe not on an ebike either for that matter.

[@dukemasters6829]

This is why you need a 900 battery

[@cristianomescu3866]

My Battery can help me in Turbo Mode only 20 Km.. 😂

[@Hjd10]

😳👍

[@andsteve1138]

Rule of thumb..always listen to the man with the most hair when planning! Elevated testosterone levels and tattoos get you into trouble when you need to plan a ride, then let the bald one ride first 😅😂😊

[@chaleowin7732]

No thanks! Give me a nice smooth trail system I can ride for miles.

[@pinoyteam6417]

Great video. The areas you rode were breathtaking. Tyvm for bringing us along.

[@nigelwebb5634]

Love the cubes, a lot of bang for the buck !

[@katherinefrost5808]

What a wonderful video… beautiful scenery, and very well-narrated. I just ordered a new EMTB (Specialized Turbo Levo SL Comp Carbon). I may not be climbing in the Scottish Highlands, but one can always dream.

[@matthewgabb5360]

Brilliant video. Definitely on my todo list . Good to see some Cube Stereo hybrid action. Great value good spec . Cheers EMBN

[@jasonfraser3572]

That was amazing ....looked well tough, well done guys.

[@andreregini5928]

Stunning ride and camera work guys! How about posting a GPX of it?

[@Tefloncoated]

Enjoyed that but an awful lot of complaining being done nearly spoilt it for me. Its an adventure and its going to be tough obviously.

[@phattysnow]

Do you have the GPX for this route? Headed to the UK in a few weeks and would love to do this!

[@drewgarlick3624]

I rode this exact route in 2017 with my pals on my Hightower and it was the best ride of my life.

[@carlosnunes5717]

This is the best kind of e-bike videos, thanks for sharing

[@embn]

Thanks, Carlos! We're glad you enjoyed the video! 👍

[@deanharris8119]

Inspiring! Great job fellas.

[@Adlemtbadv]

This is what emtb is all about. It's not an adventure unless you hike your bike. Just woah indeed Steve 👍🏻

[@craighouston390]

Wow, absolutely stunning and what an epic ride! Well done

[@badlarry172]

love a bit of cullen skink 😁

[@Bazski-k1]

What an awesome video, absolutely love Scotland 👌

[@embn]

Us too!

[@marcianodemidof7135]

Fantastic ride boys with a beautiful landscape as a bonus 👌🏾. Makes me wanna jump on my bike and ride it. Love and ✌🏾to you all. Happy riding everybody.

[@eph8334]

Ive been up that westerly route you took past the bothy, its a long steep push and carry but i had no emtb, i did it on a sunny day with blue sky and when you go over the top after what must be 500-600m climb its like a whole new world opens up. 👍🏼

[@vanmore5124]

Great video! I was there a few days ago on my ebike and have walked some of the route you were on. Epic place.

[@kevinwei8943]

In China, riding an electric bicycle is more convenient than driving, because it is too crowded everywhere in China, there is a large population and every family has a car, so if I don't go far, I like riding an electric bicycle.But China's electric bicycles look like this

[@chargeriderepeat7024]

Fxxxxx brilliant. Living the dream there guys.

[@rigurat]

Very, very, very beautiful landscape!

[@pesomasagravedad]

Kiox still works if you scroll the power modes down to off rather than turn the whole system off

[@tomquimby8669]

44km and 1220 metres is doable on one battery. My bulls 650w can do 65km and 1800 metre climbing, did it 3 weeks ago you just have to be careful to get in Bio or eco as much as possible

[@adriannash755]

That what I thought, and eco in that terrain is very hard..

[@theveryaverageelectricmoun8879]

Great ride. Did you guys run inserts to protect against flats?

[@djmclencio]

OK. Let s say it like this: People don't do what this guys do... E bikes can handle rain. But please don't put your bikes in the river like this guys do 3:41 ...this will damge the motor 100%. If you want your motor to live a long time do not wash it... clean it properly...

[@RiazRJ]

amazing adventure. would you say that the e-bike allowed you to cover this in a single day vs maybe making this a two day affair on a non-motorised bike?

[@j.c8086]

Just wasnt to congrat. the Bosch engeneers for developing an amazing motor. Just to stand all that conditions. Great job.

[@jimbrown2688]

I ride MTBs and hike in the Scots hills...I'd love to take my bike up there....

It’s the grand tour on bikes 😁

[@howardgaskin6117]

NW Scotland is simply beautiful, love the video.

[@dancatchpole4771]

Dose anyone have the strava link for that ride? Definitely going on my to do list 👍👍👍👍

[@oliviaswiss]

Superb video, loved the epic commentary and drone shots! As a seasoned adventure emtb rider in Switzerland, I'm left wondering how can one ride this type of terrain with no gloves and not using a full face helmet? plus are you using special socks or riding all day with wet feet? ;-)

[@TVplanetclaire]

I was cringing most of the way through it, and yes, wondered if they were wearing sealskinz or similar. What an epic video, and the humour of the presenters too. Great stuff.

[@ocbyn]

Excellent video. Thank you

I see Torridon and immediately hear..... Irish music? Haha! Love your channel though. Very inspiring and educational to a beginning emtber. Torridon is amazing (live in the Highlands so very fortunate to be able to visit it regularly), but it really needs a bit of piobaireachd to bring out the atmosphere 🙂

[@Celeon999A]

Scotland sure does look like a true MTB paradise

[@northernfreelance5788]

Absolutely amazing! Breathtaking scenery! I am from Newfoundland and where I live in the Northern Peninsula a Little Town called Roddickton. With a View that will take your breath away. Overlooking the Appellation Mountains or nicknamed Clouds Hills from the locals. From a trip across the bay you can take the clouds trails along some of the biggest and famous fly fishing rivers in the world. From there you embark deep into the inner valley to the foothills with tall spruce timber and thick peat moss on each side of the trail. As you start the incline it will get rugged, with bog, water crossings and rock. Once you clear this section which is roughly 3 hours alone, you will be entering the tundra, with Scotland type of terrain you experienced there. After you enter the open tundra called the Flat Waters, in front of you is a view you will never forget. Miles and miles of mountains, fishing ponds packing 3-4 pounders of rainbow trout waiting to feed. Now that's the place for lunch! open fire on the rocks, cup of tea, and fresh baked trout! With moms home made bread of course! So from there it's yours to discover........... Ride hard!

[@stevenconnor4221]

my younger brother Joe done this Tour of Torridon and showed me the videos, he reckons one of the best places he has ridden in, I just looked at the constant unforgiving rock sections with no let-up and thought stuff that! maybe one day I will take it on. Well done guys next time bring a midge net/hat and your skin so soft. As a youngster, I once biked and camped in the middle of a forest in Ardnagarten, lets just say it was permanently dark lol midge bites for days!

[@markcoombs9260]
