[@yeabuddy6070]

These last couple e-mountain bike videos have been lit👍

[@GryphonRB]

I love that this new bike has rekindled the passion you have for making content in this format. I noticed you're also more chatty and upbeat!! Love from Boston Mr. Hicks.

[@shawnwilliams900]

Yeah dat urban bike riding we're doped John fantastic content yo!

[@jdm6479]

Been subscribed to you prior to you moving to downtown like 8 years ago, long time. The energy and style of this video is unmatched, great video I would love to see more

[@ashpunting]

Thanks for another video. Plus, mine arrives tomorrow. I can't wait, man 😅 push down on the handlebars and use the front suspension to help you pull it up and a manual O stick a water bottle on your bike mate. I really enjoyed that video hicks 👏🏽👍🏽😊

[@at0matic]

Good man wearing a full face. Sent myself to hospital when a tree jumped out at me after a jump ;) Stay rad!

[@HoodiiSzn]

Dude we need a garage video!🔥 you’ve got some nice bikes

[@AnitaShower]

Bike park and trail content is gonna be litty 🔥

[@JesseSoriano-pf8ok]

Your videos are awesome bro keep it coming and be safe✌️

[@pauls3616]

Keep it coming. Love the new bike.

[@AndyH--M7FNM]

[@ashpunting]

That video was Tom and Samtastic. You guys got plenty of air time, brilliant man, and some nice photos. i hope 👏🏽💙

[@8rett]

Man I've been so inspired to go ride my enduro ebike (Ibis Oso) after these videos lol, been not riding most of the fall

[@patrickmial9113]

You have power, try going up the stairs.

[@LMV123]

He tried it at 8:10

[@patrickmial9113]

I had a Yamaha 80cc when I was a kid. It could clime any stairs, surely a $10,000 bike can clime all the stairs. @@neilpatrickhairless

[@botrods578]

I love the daily uploads and the bike keep up the good work

[@Fictitious_Character]

It's a bad ass bike, and it looks like a blast in urban terrain.

[@BasicBeachCommunity1]

There's got to be some fun Urban rides out in San Diego Orange County area Have you ever take your rides out that way??

[@xela0101]

Another banger! 🔥

[@Michaelarvin71]

Thank you for going back to bombing stairs! Fooking sick homie!

[@donnytucker]

Those stair bombs were super sick!

[@k.959]

Your excitement shows 100%

[@djkoderedd]

love the uploads mane funny i worked a deaf festival right there at city hall where you had to pass the gate on the stairs at the end of that little run musta been 8 or 9 years ago brought me back lol excited to see your upload at the trek park alot of jumps and trails out there you will enjoy it id join yah but idk how to jump haha but if you ever hit the victory trail head or anything in simi blue or green im down to join keep killin it with the uploads.

[@russellzauner]

Your new bike is like a sur ron for the soul Endless rides in the mode you love No compromise

[@-praise-9204]

Fun video 👍 makes you wanna go and ride!

[@2bebetter]

Does this bike have a throttle that so you can ride it without pedaling?

[@andysam81]

Absolutely loving these new EMTB videos. The new lines and perspectives are amazing! Keep up the good work 😎

[@matthews.s]

Thanks for another lovely day ride, that stair set, set the world on fire 🔥...

[@pure1259]

keep doing these PLEASE

[@Domane-mh8wg]

Had my e-mtb for 2 years now. Been riding local trails only. After watching these videos, now I want to try out urban shredding. Hope you make more of this content.

[@mikemike0000]

😂 That guy was so geeked to watch you! Thats so cool!

[@ephraimki7783]

got an e-bike few weeks ago and its soo much more fun. rode 400km in the first 2 weeks. love it

[@markokozaric]

You have to learn riding upstairs, I do it without ebike if stairs are good, suspension and tire pressure. 😂👊

[@milaoloading]

I wanna see you bunny hop some of those small sets John.

[@howardb.6205]

Front tooth missing, step gapping, back flipping Hick's 2024!

[@Rekluse22]

Dude these videos are awesome man 🤘

[@antdod1]

@JohnHicks I've just got myself a specalized tero 3 and know exactly how you feel I went on an epic 30mile ride with two mates the weekend and it's crazy how an EMTB covers ground

[@GabeGarcia]

Let’s hit some mountains! You’ll enjoy it even more on some downhill trails 😎🤘

[@cperception]

love the videos with that E-MTB. too expensive for me unfortunately. but love seeing you ride with that. keep on going !!

[@benvsreality]

17:50 I looked it up and they caught the dude. In addition to the three homeless guys, they think he also killed a city worker. Messed up.

[@ChristianCarmona-y2b]

I’ve been watching your videos for the last past five years since I was 17 years old

[@exo_0]

Watching at 1am🔥🔥🗣️🗣️

[@incubusfamiliar]

anyways i kinda . your making my day better to say the least, thank you for that you usually do☮️

[@robotbroken]

As you pass through urban groups of people, to hear their voices, reminds me grand theft auto, somehow. Ten thousand dollars is a lot of money, but I find myself wishing that I had the money after watching a few days of your riding on this bike. It seems fast, stealth, and fairly flickable! The auto shifting seems fairly seamless! It looks like you are just pointing the bike and pedaling and the computer and suspension are figuring out the rest. It seems like you made a really good choice! Enjoy your new ride!

[@xMystoganx]

Keep the videos coming on this bike! I love wm

[@charvld]

Oh shit, this video makes me want to get back on my bike. Thnx brother, keep em coming!

[@jayrisen6284]

U should try to clear a decent size set of stairs too

[@jayjones5756]

I never liked riding down stairs, but I do like to jump them. Probably just 4 or 5 max. Ya just gotta pull back on the handlebars and commit. I ride an 18 speed 1995 Diamondback Ascent with a rigid fork. It's lightweight and fast.

[@joshuahedges2881]

Hey John love the bike its awesome but you need to do another video with Dan on the sur ron an have helmet mics to talk to one another i just feel like that would be a FIRE video love you man keep it up

[@Monstah-xd9hc]

Try the stairs next to Grand Central Market by the old trolley next time.

[@BasicBeachCommunity1]

Have you seen that ramp pilgrim rides It's called the MTB Hopper It's really good

[@Newbieriderr]

crazy the amount of mopeds just scattered like a piece of dirt

[@itsianwood]

Ride down, ride up and ride through, baby! Whoa, I hit the 1K thumb!

[@seankiley5787]

Where did you buy your sur Ron I want one of the 40ah ones

[@incubusfamiliar]

i thought about you today, a train blocked my way and i was wanting to climb the ladders on both sides of it and walk across it with my diy bike but too heavy obviously, In Sweetwater TX there's trian track that go through the center of town just like my HT Abilene man i was thanking dang you got a nice bike because i bet it's light enough to do that 😆 shout out to all the freight rail rider bloggers those guys are og 🤟

[@Colbs-v4z]

Correct me if im wrong but does the bike just help you pedal faster with the battery rather then you just twisting the throttle? Im new to the E bike world.

[@carlosgamez83]

Magees donuts have a boom AF Ham & cheese croissant . Starting your video next to Belmont High School 😎 cool.

[@brilliant8340]

Good bike i like when you get down from the stairs

[@ChrisGBassYT2]

amazing videos

[@brianmccann666]

Orange Sweatshirt, great choice.

[@williamsnyder1205]

Big John, glad you're using a helmet, would hate to lose you!! We know you can ride but it's the fools all around you that can kill you!!

[@russellzauner]

Bonehead X-Sport, it's flyweight and set up for headphones and the rest - they'll add camera mounts if you request them when they're building your helmet. It's a killer looking hat and actually pretty cheap compared to the one I have - not an affiliate, I rock a Bonehead Dynamic for EUC/bike and I'm probably getting another one so I don't have to wait in case someone steals the one I have. It's that great.

[@Biggiiful]

@russellzauner I do that with headphones. Usually try to buy two pairs so I don't have to wait if one beeaks

[@plumkrazykath]

ok, you scared me! lol

[@taraxiasrelated9548]

YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY TRY CAKE BIKES!!!!!!!!!

[@Bensay]

How can You shift, if u turn the autoshift off ?

[@YurakuV34]

This city is really wonderful

[@gi4nn354]

nicee! try some specific trail

[@lukasHenchman]

e bikes are light and how lots of power, so they are more fun than a surron, you can swerve more aggresively, and they look less illegal in most parts of the worlds where there are laws for ebikes

[@tcm2kd5000]

Love the Sam Pilgrim stair bombs. Soon you will be trying to jump onto the stairs maybe.

[@femacampetiquettefordummie6979]

Are those 800mm handlebars? They look hella wide. You could probably stand to cut 20-30mm off of them. Maybe it's just the GoPro that makes them look so wide??

[@Eric.V.]

How much does that thing weigh?

[@Visionaryvibes444]

Do you ever ride your Solar E-Clipse?

[@davidjulseth8667]

What kind of bike is that?

[@kevindigit]

which bike are you riding?

[@LivinRentFreeInUrHead]

Dang jay u was finna get robbed at the bus stop. Close call man close call.

[@Kingmohammed23]

10k is crazy

[@tacticooldennis]

I dunno why but the bars seem wide to me. maybe its the camera angle, but I feel like if they were a little shorter it would help riding around poles.

[@Poe_1809]

I hit the slo-mo at 22:00 ngl

[@MrLien32]

When climbing stairs speed is your friend.

[@MrLien32]

@@neilpatrickhairless how to ride up stairs- hans rays tips and tricks. Watch it. At the end he states plainly, get some speed and momentum. The trick is keeping your momentum. With as much travel as John's bike has the only problem he'll have is pedal strikes.

[@lavaboy2811]

The guy had a disability ❤ always Hicks

[@BasicBeachCommunity1]

You know be cool to see UCLA USC some of those campuses have really good spots to ride That's what Sam Pilgrim he goes out to the some of the college areas some of the coastal areas

[@AlfonsoFaustino]

@JohnHicksFilm I am a new E-bike rider and owner. My mum and sis bought me a @Ride1Up REVV1 for Christmas 2023. Your video came up on my viewing list. After seeing your videos I subscribed. You play your e-bikes the way Slash plays his guitars…artistic, smooth, and effortless. You’re an amazing rider; I wish I can ride like you. I really enjoyed you going down the stairs and doing the trek to LA City Hall. I live part-time in Beverly Hills; and, if I see you, I will definitely say, “hello.” Be safe and check 6! /s/ Alfonso Faustino

[@jaidenhargreaves-edwards5560]

was it me or did i see a limo type van at 18:04

[@AppleTech2011]

How is the battery life?

[@TheRoadRunner97]

Those people that be saying “wear a helmet” are the same people that be texting while driving 💀🤡

[@iwasframed1370]

That loud ringing is to keep the homeless from staying in that spot.

[@chestertaylor7341]

Decent video, still enjoy the sur-ron videos more.

[@Rob789-2]

If you want stairs you need to go to Echo Park.

[@robertwalker841]

So hows an e bike more fun that a surron ? I have an e bike similar to this one, can anybody compare ?

[@michaeljordan3084]

This is how everyone feels that buys a decent full suspension ebike. I had mine over a year and still love it, many of my friends are still anti-ebike…I just feel bad for them.

[@SilverPony44]

Yeah electric mountain bikes are crazy expensive though the first one that popped up when I looked was $8500 I guess some people had credit cards. Hahaha wow I just realized I’ve never actually had a credit card @ 36 years old holy cow anyways wuddup John been a sec since I checked in

[@nelsona6066]

11:38 is he an NPC or something lol he didnt even bother to look

[@andrewfoskett2527]

Where can i get the Orange sweatshirt?🤙🏽

[@JamesH321]

It looks like a Gildan in 'Safety Orange'

[@hendrikkoopman3570]

How fast will this bike go? Top speed

[@blahblahblah9215]

Stair sets = Doomer. As in "Am gonna hit this Doomer."

[@machobloxks]

Full suspension id imagine you’d bunny hop easy

[@upstateshenanigans430]

I hope you get the chance to review some poor boy emtb's, I know after riding this it'll be a painful thing to do but I want something similar so bad lol but 10k, I don't think I could swing that in this lifetime or the next haha

[@JohnHicksFilm]

What are some bikes you’d like me to buy/check out?

[@upstateshenanigans430]

@@JohnHicksFilm i don't want you to have to buy any, especially after you spent a pretty penny on the cream of the crop lol i guess something that tries too mimic this but under $1500. I come from the BMX world, now I'm into these dual motor scooters but I can just tell how much you're enjoying this bike and I wanna try something similar but my budget is much much less lol
