Thanks so much for your comments, they are generally helpful and kind. You can tell a lot about a person by the comments they leave. I occasionally receive negative comments and provided they are not rude or they are "constructive criticism" I will leave them up. Very occasionally I will get rude and hateful comments which do no good for anyone. Such comments are removed and may lead to that individual being blocked.

[@stevetaylor8446]

Some horrible people out there in an evil world Sandy....you make some amazing videos and they are by a vast majority of us loved. Thanks to you and Mandy, I bought the Cruiser and decided to go for the man one. I wouldn't be out in the woodland, or going to the farm, or seeing my friend at the stables if it wasn't for seeing Mandy overtake you on the hills that time on her step thru. Take no notice of those comments in this twisted world, I love these ebike videos, because I'm able to relate to them. Hammock camping on an ebike my new passion. I get in the hammock and dream I'm a Harley Davidson 😂 I swear people avoid my pitch incase its a Yeti 😂😂😂

[@salan3]

I would like to ask you a question re electric bikes but not really appropriate on here ( suitability for me( similar to Mandy). Is there another way I can contact you? Thanks.

[@johnhorner769]

Zero tolerance for hateful comments Sandy, they won't be missed 👍

[@tonypaddler]

Your videos contain nothing that deserves a rude or hateful comment, immediately block, without replying to, these cowardly keyboard warriors Sandy. It's great to see the joy that the ebike has brought Mandy 👍

[@markjlacey]

Lovely video, Sandy. It’s a good looking bike and Mandy was certainly bombing along on it. Great to see. All the best to you both.

[@prestcoldandy910]

Iused to live in the same street as sandy some years ago , i always used to speak with mandy . She is a very sweet lady and nice to see her doing well

[@KevinCullen]

Perfect bike for Mandy. You two are a lovely pair, really warmed my heart to see you enjoying each other's company and banter.

[@WiltshireMan]

Thanks Kevin, its great now Mandy is able to get out a bit. We don't have a car and she has been largely housebound, so this ebike is a big help for her

[@pootlingalong8928]

Mandy looks so happy - great to see her enjoying her fresh air and exercise! She looks very nice on that lovely bike 🤗👍🏻

[@marcomcdowell8861]

So wonderful to see Lady Mandy enjoying herself. It made my night watching her full of joy. Thank you both for sharing a bit of your lives!

[@tgalbraith2152]

Lovely to watch, & great to see Mandy getting a thrill from cycling in her own style.

[@Celtic-Silver-countryman]

It’s wonderful to see the joy on Mandy’s face 😃

[@WiltshireMan]

Thanks John, Yes Mandy is very pleased with her new bike, hopefully she will get some more exercise now

[@DeePaignall]

People rarely talk to me when I'm on my mobility scooter (maybe they think it's catchy) but on my new(ish) ebike I've talked to more people than I have in years. Hope Mandy gets stuck into the freedom of the outdoors like I have - nature's so good for us!

[@WiltshireMan]

I've never thought about it but I think your right, Although I personally always say hello to anyone I meet whether on a bike or a mobility scooter

[@DeePaignall]

@@WiltshireMan Ah, but you're 'different' Sandy, you're a gentleman :)

[@oshiforb7445]

It's been nice to see Mandy out with you, and she seemed to really enjoy herself. I bought my wife an electric pedal assist folding bike because she has mobility problems, especially walking. Like your Mandy, the bigger ebikes were too heavy for her and too big. She is only five feet tall. Since her disability, she seems to lost her self-confidence and has become very nervous of getting back out on her bike. I'm going to let her watch this video so she can possibly get some encouragement from seeing Mandy enjoying herself. Thanks for the video and as always I love watching your channel.❤

[@tonypatey5669]

Sandy I am very happy the love of your life was able to go on a ride with you. It felt good inside to watch . She had a blast. Thanks for sharing. Tony.

[@howardvarley8795]

Sorry had to come back and comment again after watching the video to the end - what an absolutely brilliant advert for 'Triumph over Adversity' by Both of you. A couple of years ago I had a DVT which resulted in a massive PE. Thanks to our Awesome NHS I survived... just. But it affected my life badly, watching you two has inspired me to have another go. Thank you.

[@geoff9614]

Well done both of you Sandy for getting Mandy out on the right bike and Mandy for getting out there and enjoying her new bike Hope to see Mandy in some more of your videos

[@stevetaylor8446]

Go Mandy

[@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival]

That is awesome. Looks like the lady has a proper setup now. One that will suit her needs and desires.

[@WiltshireMan]

I hope so Lonnie, Mandy needs to get regular and gentle exercise to keep her circulation and heart health good

[@Wyowanderer]

Mandy has the best smile I've ever seen.

[@tonylarge7804]

Absolutely loved this video so heartwarming to see Mandy so happy on her new bike fair play to u lad for helping her👍

[@m3cvfm]

I agree ,it's lovely to see them both enjoying there electric bikes.

[@philjones3335]

Really enjoyed watching this video, what a lovely person Mandy is and you both seen very happy which in this day and age is great. Great that you are encouraging people to get out there and enjoy some exercise and the e bike surely is the way to go, so much so that I think I will be saving my pennies now to get one for my wife as she too doesn't get much enjoyment out of a traditional push bike. I can see some nice days ahead for us, getting out together so thanks a lot Sandy for this video and please do thank Mandy for allowing you to film her, she's a star.😊

[@victormonster4658]

Mandy’s like a kid at Xmas opening that box. So nice to see you both enjoying the outdoors together, she’ll be giving you a run for your money soon WM. 👍👌

[@Gettinglostwithlea]

A real inspiration video, so many of us struggle with getting out due to heath restrictions, etc… thank you Mandy and Sandy for the share ❤

[@WiltshireMan]

Thanks Leannet

[@howardvarley8795]

Cracking bike Sandy, very impressed as was I believe Mandy. The grin on her face as she pulled up after her first go was priceless!! Hopefully the two of you can now spend more time out and about together. Thumbs up emoticon.!

[@GOBBYBOY333]

Sandy you are going to have to build a dedicated ebike shed in your wee garden. I'm so pleased Mandy is enjoying cycling now, I keep trying to get my better half out, but no luck so far. This video might inspire her. Thanks as always for the great video's. ATB Big Dave Scotland.

[@WiltshireMan]

Haaa Dave, I have enough bikes now, if I get any more I shall review them and then pass them onto folk who I feel could benefit from them

[@wendytaylor3424]

[@johnhorner769]

Mandy was well happy with the suggestion of the pub 🍻

[@WiltshireMan]

She certainly was

[@davidwylde8275]

That was a pleasure to watch, it would be great if Mandy could join you on a cycling adventure, wishing you both many happy miles together 👍

[@codfishknives8526]

The happiness on Mandy's face says it all. Never mind the hateful and negative comments Sandy. Unfortunately the world has parasites that you can't get rid of. Always a pleasure to watch your vids.

[@WiltshireMan]

Thanks for watching and yes your right. There are negative folk about so " Always look on the bright side of life"!

[@haydnevans2978]

[@WiltshireMan]

Yes, most definitely still having fun, Mandy really enjoys her E bike

[@ivanklisovic4888]

Day well spent. Inspirational without forced humour or showing luxury. It is allways about character. Stay strong both in body and mind.

[@6ettinold]

Mandy's bike is ace. I had to stop cycling in my mid 40's because my knees were shot. I built my first ebike & was then able to get back out. I'm now on my 3rd ebike, the arthiritis in my knees has eased off a hell of a lot, because of getting regular, gentle exercise. I can cycle 30 miles. I couldn't manage 300 yards a few years ago. Herecs hoping the nicer weather returns for you both. 🤞

[@WiltshireMan]

Thats great news about how the gentle exercise has helped improve your arthritis. Well done for not quitting

[@pjvickers3125]

Hi Sandy. Love all your videos & this one was no exception. So nice to see the pleasure that cycling brings you, and Mandy with her new bike. Haven't been on my bike in 6 years but now you've inspired me to get back out there. I'm a 'Wiltshire Man' too so maybe bump in to you on the Ridgeway one day. Keep the videos coming, they're great.

[@WiltshireMan]

Thanks PJ, there is a good feeling of freedom on a simple bicycle

[@arizonabayhicks1]

That’s it Sandy no more camping in the woods on your own Mandy will be right behind you 😁

[@WiltshireMan]

I doubt that, she says she doesn't like camping which means I can get some peace and quiet:)

[@jimrowland6089]

I like the look of that bike. Fun transportation gets used a lot more than transportation you don't enjoy. Staying active has been a key component of my weight loss.

[@norfolknomad]

Sandy, there’s so much wrong in the world and with humanity. But to see the pair of you together on your bikes and to see how happy you both are, makes everything right. Greatest of respect for both of you. 👍👌

[@WiltshireMan]

It's the simple things in life that matter the most:)

[@simonwiltshire]

Thanks guys, well done mandy great to see you out and about enjoying the great outdoors.

[@daibolical8532]

Looks a lovely little bike for her, the step thru frame is a game changer and flew up that last hill, if it helps get Mandy out more then it’s a winner.

[@billcotton1551]

Mandy was smiling like a little kid riding the bike. That was great.

[@MiriamKennedy]

The screams and waves of delight said it all! 😎 Well done to you both for showing the whole process of assembly and getting out there! Enjoy your new bike Mandy 😍👍

[@WiltshireMan]

Thanks Miriam, yes Mandy is very pleased with her new bike, hopefully it will get her out exercising a bit more now as her health isn't great

[@rickgordongordonellissteel3761]

Sandy thanks for this video. It is great to see Mandy out on the bike and enjoying it so much. I am looking to get one of these Eleglide T1 bikes so this was very helpful. I hope Mandy enjoys many more miles cycling.

[@heywhotsgoinon8286]

I have heart issues, best thing i bought was my folding ebike. Back on the road again after quite a while, and if i want , just put it in the back of the car and go somewhere scenic to ride. Go Mandy 👍

[@ianwilde1800]

great vid and gj smile on Mandy's face says it all

[@RetroRatz]

That was really useful, thank you both. Peggy has health issues and is now restricted to flat terrain walking only and cannot ride a normal bike now. I need to save up and get her an electric bike, so we can both enjoy cycling again. Its been too long without and im getting unfit 😮

Exercise is really important Chloe, it would be good if you could both get on bikes

Wishing you a speedy recovery David 🤞 ❤ keep up the video's if you can . Just a walk around the area you live looks fantastic 😊

[@jonathanmellish4439]

Excellent 😊 So pleased for Mandy wanting to get back out on a bike. My wife bought an electric bike but refuses to ride on the road which really limits where we can go.

[@waynehiggs6529]

Great video Sandy, really good to see Mandy out and about and enjoying herself on that nice looking ebike. I hope she enjoys it for many more rides,its a great way to get some relatively gentle exercise and be out in nature, much better than being stuck inside. I to have a heart condition and a bad hip but still get out on my bike for a ride most days but about 12 miles is my limit, I think it might be time to have a look at an ebike myself. All the best to you and Mandy and thanks for sharing her experience with her new bike. Cheers from Australia

[@WiltshireMan]

Good to know you are able to get out Wayne, Gentle exercise and trying to keep the heart rate elevated a little is good. I also have a hip problem which is slowly becoming worse! Must be getting old

[@peterreece6547]

Step through is the way to go on a non competion bike. Because of clapped out knee the step through is for me, currently I’m not riding my Raleigh Motus grand tour as I’m 4 and half weeks down the road from a full knee replacement. This 75 yr is doing all the exercise that the physio is giving me and I think another 4 weeks I’ll be up on that seat and cycling round West Cumbria again. Good luck to Mandy and her cycling.😊

[@WiltshireMan]

Excellent, well done for getting back on a bike and I hope your knee is healing well, it certainly sounds like it is

[@annies8075]

A nice looking ebike for the price and great that Mandy is enjoying riding her new bike. Though at a weight of 26kg it's heavier than mine. Perhaps you can show Mandy how to correctly wear her cycle helmet. My electric mountain bike is still going strong after 14 years......had a few new parts on over the years, replacement battery, tyres, and a much comfier saddle lol. I also purchased one that could take generic parts, so of course there has been no problem getting hold of parts for it.

[@stoatmcgroaty1586]

Fantastic stuff ... looks like a very capable bike ... with regards to throttles I have a Bafang kit on mine which came with a throttle ... I hardly ever used it being used to analogue bikes all my life and was considering removing it completely until one day finding out it was a bit of a lifesaver ... having a heavily loaded bike I came across an unrideable steep very rooty incline I needed to push the bike up .... I would have had to unload the bike were it not for the throttle .... it gave me good control to push the bike fully loaded (there is a walk mode but it has no control at all) so I have now left it on the bike ..... all I have done to be road legal compliant is to have it disconnected at the plug and stuffed inside a sleeve that I keep my wiring loom tidy with .... that way if I'm ever stopped by the police I can demonstrate that the throttle is disconnected and that it has not been quickly unplugged as it takes a bit of fiddling to get to it .... hopefully that will be enough to keep me the right side of the law .... I noticed your wife didn't fancy the bumpy trail ... if the reason for that was comfort I can highly recommend the Suntour NCX SP12 suspension seatpost ... it gives 2" of travel which is just enough for the rough stuff on a hardtail while not being an absolute fortune like the Thudbuster .... so good to see her enjoying it ... lets hope it helps her health getting out .... happy trails ... :o)~
