@@Roboprogs I used to work for a company that made the control boards for the motor going into electric high powered skateboards. This was about 12 years ago & as a Technician would have to fix them. So Obviously when the repair was done you have to road test to see if that truly corrected the problem. I would go around the big company building & the speed was around 20 mph sustained for about 40 minutes before the battery pack would get discharged. They were using 6 volt lead acid batteries at the time - I think there were 3 of them layed down in the base.

Yea, no one deserves that but old people. I can't believe humans have the gall to be born on Earth with no choice in the matter! Only old people who will only live a few more years deserve a taste of what freedom could be like.

​@@MZRFaith So true! I stopped owning a truck long before I got an ebike, because I was living & working in town & already loved bicycle riding: the number of days I needed a larger vehicle were so few that rental ideshare was cheaper & less upkeep. After a hip injury, I could still ride, but I didn't get back to anywhere near the level of cardio endurance I had before that 6mo "break". Got a 1440 Watt \ 1 KWh ebike a couple years ago, & although its top speed is less than I can achieve on my 3×10 speed manual bike, with its pedal assist I can ride a _lot_ longer & have finally seen some improvement in my cardio endurance again! Plus, it makes huge grocery trips a breeze. I slipped a trailer on it recently, so hauling cargo barely even affects the handling (can't believe I used giant pannier bags & a backpack for so long). For people who already ride & would like to ride more, but still have some trips that seem impractical to do on a bicycle, an ebike can be a great tool for greater range & utility, as well as fun!

Man, some of those '90s bikes are really great for what they used to cost. By the late '00s, the _exact_ same components were going up in price year by year; suddenly the same model & price-point came with worse kit, trying to get consumers to buy the next model up. I had an early '00s full-suspension bike that I rode for 15 years & it was fantastic. These days, I am usually on a cheap Specialized from the '90s that I literally salvaged from next to our dumpster, & after some polish & a new chain it rides _sooo nice._ Rolls easier than any other bike I have! I feel amazing when I'm able to keep up with ebikes & carbon touring bikes on that thing. And when I can't, at least it _looks_ like I have some excuse!

[@Harmicchi]

@@prophetzarquon1922 Yes, seems to be the trend in everything... I got mine second hand and in great condition for it's age. I don't know too much about parts YET, but I do know I have never had such a good bike in my life (Monark Colour Club 1993 if you're interested). My main concern about modern bikes was the amount of plastic used. I'm quite rough with my stuff so I probably would have made some damage to aluminium as well. With steel frame I don't need to worry about anything really. I'm also planning on touring with it so I need it to carry weight. My only concern was the weight which I laughed off once I got it. Mainly 'cause I switched from random mountain bike that obviously weighs a lot more. I even added a front rack to it and it's still light as a feather for me. 😂

[@lewisedwardson7776]

@@TimLevi Your prejudice is wrong and ignorant. If a person is putting just as much effort into pedaling, then they're getting just as much exercise. It's not some holy ritual where using a motor means the gods disqualify you from burning calories. If it was, then I guess starving people should hop on an e-bike to magically shut off the calorie-burning process. When you push your legs, you use your muscles, and that burns calories. The motor just means that instead of going 18 miles an hour, you go 28 miles an hour, and instead of it being convenient to ride somewhere 15 miles away, it's convenient to ride somewhere 30 miles away. An e-bike means instead of driving everywhere and only riding your bike when you have spare time, you can actually get there fast enough on your e-bike, and haul cargo on your e-bike, and use your e-bike as your primary method of transportation, and get exercise all day long. I notice folks like you don't call people lazy for driving a car. Do you think pushing the gas and brake pedals takes more effort than pushing e-bike pedals? When I ride my e-bike, I push harder than my motor across intersections. My motor could get me 0-20 in about 7 seconds. With pedaling and motor, I get 0-20 in about 3 seconds. With only pedaling, no motor, I get 0-20 in about 5 seconds. I don't use the motor so I can pedal less for the same speed. I use the motor so I can go faster and further. I do deliveries until 4 AM and I use the roads because the sidewalks here are in horrible condition, often have curbs with no ramp or a ramp twisted off to the side to prevent biking, and some roads don't even have sidewalks. With a regular bike, I'd be screwed on these roads. With an e-bike, I can almost keep up with traffic, so they treat me like a moped and pass me, whereas if I go under 20 mph, they will try to run me off the road on a daily basis.

I don't think I could ever give up regular bikes, but I could certainly enjoy an ebike. I had my brother's for a while and got great workouts. Not very hilly by me so it was hard to get a good burn but I would just turn the engine off close to home and churn and burn the last 10 minutes. 80 pound bike gets the burn going good. I did enjoy going on longer trips and in less time. I ride for fun first and ebikes are a ton of fun. Gives me that kid feeling.

One time i got passed by 3 e bikes riding in a row lol. I was so jealous.

I work in a shop where we sell E-Bikes and E-MTB. My view on these bikes are pretty harsh but I do also agree that it can be a great incentive for some people to start biking again or even continue biking. I'm happy that maybe 95% of the customers that come in to buy an electric bike are over 50 yo and that most of them use to ride a lot and just simply cannot do it anymore and still wanna enjoy a good ride wich an ebike can provide them a little assistance required for some hills and they don't want any trottle because they want to pedal. I'm living in a small city where everything is so close but houses are a couple miles away wich can suck sometimes, especially in winter since the snow removal operations here are not so great. Seing these folks riding their ebike to do their groceries and others errands or even enjoying a nice ride around the bay on a beautiful sunny day is very nice since there's 1 car less on the road. On the other hand tho, I used to live in a big city where some 20 yo kids are riding them like some little jackass and putting people in danger because they think they are the kings is definitely another piece of my mind about ebikes.

When many of these were still DIY projects. I was riding up to Waterton Canyon Dam (Colorado) on my mountain bike. I passed an older gentleman at the bottom of the hill "on your left!" I yelled. It was windy that day. As I got closer to the dam, I really started slowing down - what do I hear? Squeek, squeek, squeek - here comes that older guy passing ME on the left saying "pretty windy day isn't it?" :D I was so out of breath, I barely managed to get out "yeh, yeh it is..." I was basically his "mark" that day. There was no way that guy - at least 80lbs overweight, could have caught up on a basically a cruiser with no gears - in the wind. But now I know what was hidden inside his front basket :D

Been there s few times...returning from a 30 mile cross country ride on the final hill before cruising the final 3 miles downhill you here the electric whine of the motor approaching behind you look to the side with an exhausted face to see an older guys passing you on the incline with a smiling face......😂

[@arshadsiddiqui9071]

I know some patient old dudes who destroy climbs but really slowly. Whenever i go as slow as them my balance goes to crap so i'm stuck melting my thighs over every uphill.

[@prophetzarquon1922]

It is totally crazy how sometimes I can crawl at slower than walking speed, up a rough trail, but other times it feels like I can barely stay upright over each bump. "The zone" is real, but I rarely make it there by plan...

[@liuyanbo6510]

I always met 70+ ladies from village riding a regular bike (one gear) along suburban roads. great condition.
