Pete And His Bus, Episode 50: The Big Reveal, Crazybird ebike CU7

[@HubNut]

Finally. A Routemaster you can stand up in! 😉

[@PeteAndHisBus]

I know right!!! 😂😂😂

The barrington crest needs to be updated with two wellies sticking out from under it.

[@PeteAndHisBus]

Agreed! Hahah

[@davidbarnsley8486]

I have to say whoever built that bus did an absolute great job of it Good one pete 👍👍🇦🇺

[@PeteAndHisBus]

Not bad is it!? 👍👍

[@peterbradbury1592]

I purchased this 24 Scale model 2 years ago and still working on it, hopefully this year i will finish it. It’s a great project to do, I was a Driver in the 1960s from Norwood garage, and then at Stevenage driving the RMCs (716A) they were and still are the best bus ever. Good luck on your new venture.

[@PeteAndHisBus]

Finishing projects is not easy 😂😂 thanks for watching 👍👍

[@robertp.wainman4094]

Such a coincidence this video should come along as I've just bought my first bottle of Nyetimber to give to a French friend! Even better to know Pete now operates their Routemaster.

[@PeteAndHisBus]

That’s a lovely gift! Be sure to try some yourself 👍👍

[@sarahcarter824]

Your uploads are well worth waiting for.

[@PeteAndHisBus]

I really appreciate this! It’s comments like yours that spur me on to make more vids. Thank you!

[@davidsewell3745]

Wow she is a beauty, love that colour too. These buses look scary to drive but you make it look so easy. Really enjoying this channel 😊

[@PeteAndHisBus]

thanks, they’re actually very easy to drive. You’d be surprised

[@russellb1212]

A wonderful wine and a very tasteful conversion, like the colour as well. Top deal, looks well in the fleet

[@PeteAndHisBus]

Great to hear 👍

[@MrButtonpresser]

My all time favourite colour. What a lovely old girl.

[@PeteAndHisBus]

She’s alright isn’t she 👍👍

[@cedarcam]

In all the years of going by bus I never had a tyre go. I saw it happen to a skip lorry and it veered right across the road in an instant quite a shock to see never mind driving. I have two of that kit one not started on yet It can be built in two versions. A great well detailed kit.

[@PeteAndHisBus]

You were lucky then 👍👍👍

[@thomashiggins4923]

That was a great show Pete. Glad to see that your business is expanding in the way it seems to be expanding. You are very good at the promotional aspect of these videos as well. I mean, those bikes are probably not at the core of your own activities but you still convinced us all that they were a great product. I'd like to say that I've ordered twelve, but I haven't. But when I do decide I want a foldable electric bike, I'll certainly consider Crazybird. You are constantly sending Lord Barrington underneath buses. Give him a warm handshake from all of us. Many thanks, Tom (from France)

[@PeteAndHisBus]

Thanks Tom! I do genuinely like the e-bikes. They’re a cool evolution in personal transport. The foldable part was excellent. And it’s up for grabs for under £1000 👍👍 thanks for watching

[@tonys1636]

@@PeteAndHisBus Just ensure you charge it where a fire will not cause any damage, report by E. Sussex Fire Service on charging and precautions to be taken with Lithium Ion batteries.

[@timbarrington3607]

Thanks Tom. It's how I spend my life even in hobby time.

[@skellertons113]

I once had a tubed front offside tyre on an RT suddenly deflate on the M2, no bang, just a sudden massive pull to the right pull to the right, I had the shock of my life, so I know how you felt, just yank it over to the hard shoulder, I dread to think what would have happened on a, "smart Motorway" Perish the thought. Massive respect to the tyreman who came out and fitted our spare. We later went to Watling Tyres at Northfleet to have a new tube fitted.

[@PeteAndHisBus]

Ah so you know how that feels

[@skellertons113]

@@PeteAndHisBus As you might say, OOHH Yes. It is good to know that many tyre companies still stock our "giants" size 9x 20s, tubed and tubeless.

[@PeteAndHisBus]

I thank him too for bringing you to my channel and I’m glad you’re enjoying it 👍👍👍

[@andytyler1140]

Thanks Pete, for posting this makes me more determined to get a 1966 R M L . Trouble is I’m busy with the South Yorkshire Transport Museum as I’m now a newly appointed director and trustee. One for sure we will have another R M but will be a R M L ie mine. There’s always something to do with em as I’m sure you will agree and we have lots of vintage buses.

Was amazing meeting you at Stoner Park craft fair Pete. Hope the leg is better now. The Nyetimber bus looks amazing I so want the Revel model now or 2 lol. Can’t wait for the new adventures with RML 2757.

Nice video, I have that model bus, had it for well over 10 years, still in the box, saving it for a rainy day, although did start painting some of it during lock down. Maybe time to start it again 😂

[@PeteAndHisBus]

I think so! Let me know how you get on

[@geraldwelsh8787]

Pete RM2757 needs it's RM numbers putting back on her to truly make her outstanding again.

[@PeteAndHisBus]

So there are plans for lots of little details to be sorted and the numbers are part of that.

[@jamesfrench7299]

That raised roof sure beats making it permanently an open topper. The result is stunning when it's up. Love the paintjob. Would hate to hear the list of a 6 or less. I wish I could fit a hubodometer to the near side of your buses so you have one on each side. That way you also have symmetry and a reading in both miles and kilometres.

Thanks bud, I think that airfare would be a tad out of the budget! Thanks for watching though 👍👍

[@backacheache]

I am surprised Pete hasn't been sponsored by one of those big (small generator replacement size) battery company's, they seem like they would be a good fit for his events business and for his use of power tools (literally sometimes) "in the field" I think the term for them is "portable power station"

[@PeteAndHisBus]

Not had any major need for it yet but some companies have approached me 👍👍 ps thanks for watching 👌

[@backacheache]

@@PeteAndHisBus was thinking for things like this knightrider bus that have mains voltage things (like lights) you could use them without having to (straightaway) plugin or run a gennie

Pete - have you seen the green routemaster for sale about a mile down the road from the 'Heathfield Bus'?

[@PeteAndHisBus]

It’s not a routemaster 😂😂👍👍

[@EpRoos]

Bike number 3. What you do will all those bikes.......? It seems you need a new housing for all those busses! Let me guess Eric Heerema was also Dutch?

Someday you need to expand upon the Lord Barrington backstory. Because it’s probably confusing to a lot of viewers. Whether by design and good fun or purely unintentional. It seems like there’s more here to tell than is generally known.

I've been to Leeds Castle

[@PeteAndHisBus]

[@MatthewBrannigan]

75-93 Hanwell and Hendon - that’s got to be the 83, hasn’t it? In which case, given the long span on that route I think I can state with absolute certainty that I travelled on that very bus! The modern 83 starts at Alperton now, not Hanwell, so it’s a shorter route and doesn’t travel through Ealing like it used to back in those days.

[@PeteAndHisBus]

Excellent

[@jonathansmythe6273]

Beautiful bus. Needs a respray though. Back to FLT1123

[@PeteAndHisBus]

[@peterwardle572]

Yes I have the RM model kit, I had better get on and finish it now I guess, well done sir in adding to your fleet, but you must get an RT or RTL.

[@PeteAndHisBus]

I love those buses but they’re too much of a mine field…

[@peterwardle572]

Yes I do understand, the RM is aircraft style construction, the older buses are chassis and coach built using a lot of wood that rots but I love them as they took me to school in South London in the late 50's and early 60's .
