Putting Jansno X70 Ebike Through the Ranch & Forest Test

[@jefff6167]

Another GREAT video. Yeah, it fits into the channel very well. Thanks so much for taking the time to create your very interesting and entertaining videos.

[@saltrock9642]

Wilson was born to ride.

[@calebdoner]

This was actually a great review! You are obviously being fair to the manufacturer and being completely honest with your viewers. Thanks!

[@lpeterman]

First: IGNORE the E-bike (or E-chainsaw, or E-anything) haters, they're irrelevant. Second: Good for you! If companies are contacting you to try out their equipment and you're up-front with we viewers, then again -- IGNORE the haters. Third: IGNORE the haters. (Or, politely ask them to seek entertainment elsewhere in which to unload their bile.) As for your pun: "Short of having an electrical problem..." Well, keep an "open" mind and your "resistance" will drop. You may achieve Zen, in which case you can ride along chanting "Ohm, Ohm's Law, Ohm..." Cheers from your E-everything endorser to the North, in Linn County.

[@Hd36Wissayer]

The mountain lions will have way more fun trying to catch you on that bike.

[@rochrich1223]

It might look cool with a chainsaw scabbard mounted on it.

[@droppindeuces6981]

Nice! Have fun and be careful (someone might think you're going all hippie) 🤣

Try a Surface 604 Colt with 48V 500 watt motor. South of the medicine line that would be around two grand USD. I rode 1242 miles (2000 km) this season some on logging roads, rural paved roads and the Okanagan rail trail. It is about 55 pounds with 2.1” tire width. I always pedal but never have to press hard, just idling along. I go down by gravity and back by electricity. When you use your legs, it is like a second heart. Last week my friend brought the Wood miser mill over. We sawed about 1800 fbm including 82 12” 2x6 (984 fbm) mostly Douglas fir and some 2x4 from spruce. a few little cedar. I like to see the mill come here and I like to see it leave. As we say if it flies or floats, it’s cheaper to rent. I use the edge slabs etc. I had 20 pieces 8 foot and 12 foot. Some fir was totally clear and had really nice colours for door, window, and molding stock. I saw a minimum 9” top and I had two 8 foot pieces with 17” top. Those two squared to about 12 inch plus the side lumber. Tops and smaller pieces will keep the house warm in a few years. Easy living wood chip.

[@DrewDiaz]

I’ll tell you what, I spend a lot of time on MTB- seeing a lot of guys on EBikes these days missing kit. Helmet, eye protection, & a repair kit are must haves. Chain tool, repair link, tire irons (plastic), patch kit and maybe an inner tube, pump and/or CO2 inflators, a bike tool. My bike weighs 1/4 what this does & wouldn’t want to push it back.

[@vanderfleet-martin]

Great, honest review!

[@CH-um4iy]

Thanks for the review. Been looking at ebikes for our no-mountains Texas ranch.

[@MartinStockel]

Looks like a lot of fun on the flat parts of your ranch. Maybe the company will come out with an E-bike that is made for the steep hills. Hopefully they will use the information you provided on making a better product. Don't get "shocked" if they don't.

[@EriebyCycle]

I know a guy who carries a chain saw on the rack of his fat tire bicycle for keeping trails clear. And you’re right. A few thousand dollar e bike would be the ticket up there. And the klunk is probably the suspension fork bottoming out at the end of its travel.

[@betterl8thannvr]

I don't need one for the same reasons you do, but I do need it to go the same places you do. So many of our gated roads in the PNW don't allow motorcycles but do allow pedal bikes, including ebikes.

[@MsdMakingSawDust]

😂😂😂😂 And here I just mentioned that the other night and you had to do a video on one 😂😂😂😂

[@alleycat9369]

Cool if you’re interested in E bikes, but the boots are first class!

[@BillHale-p9d]

I'm sure I watched this one. But phone says on watch later list. O well I will watch again.

[@rickdavid1795]

I use my ebike on my property all the time

[@ramblingprose6603]

Just don’t let bike fall down go boom

[@Twobrothersoutdoors]

I guess riding around town could be fun/convenient on nice days. For me Its a 10 mile trek down hill to town. That means 10 miles back uphill. For riding around the property.... useless. At my age I think I'll pass for now. Some youngsters might have a blast on it.

[@Kamikaze3557]

Not sure if any eBike could handle that, well , pretty damn sure, "not’ smile

[@williamemerson1799]

Does it come with a fire extinguisher? 🤣

[@garyjohnson6640]

Get yourself a Tote Gote and be happy for the rest of your life 😊

[@yourpappy57]

I’ve been thinking about an e-bike for hauling my e-chainsaw, ff water and such up/down the Galls Creek ridge trail I’ve been working on for the last few years. I’ve been working myself further and further from the trailhead.

[@lawrenceferriter7010]

The education system could use your services. I think you'd make a great professor or teacher. I'd say 90% of teachers don't know how to communicate to their audience. You have it nailed

[@snowgorilla9789]

As soon as you were in the dry grass I was thinking nope if that thing catches fire there is nowhere to let it burn without setting the whole place off. I would stick with internal combustion mechanical that is

[@leftyleeman]

An Ebike is far less likely to catch on fire than a gas vehicle. Also no sparks from exhaust.

[@GlorifiedG-z9c]

I would compare how long that would have taken to walk, VS how long that bike did it.

[@SirensC3]

Be careful Mr. Wilson. Old guys like us don’t bounce very well. We tend to break. 😢. 😂😂😂

[@MarlonBonelli]

Hey thought i let you know that you have seemed to have installed the front wheel the wrong way round. Probably does not affect any safety aspect of the e-bike in any major way but the mudguard/fender may bounce on the tyre when on bumpy terrain.

[@NOELTM]

I think you gave that e-bike an honest and fair review. To me the seat/pedal position isn't good for you and it doesn't appear you can change it. The price point is its strong point I guess, on the other hand, you get what you pay for.

[@BenFenner]

Seems the EGO minibike would be WAY more appropriate as an electric ranch bike...

[@HubertofLiege]

Does it recharge the battery when you coast downhill? lol you’re an influencer now.

[@jeffpeters1014]

I would like one for hunting season but our property is steeper than yours in a lot of places. I guess I’ll stick with the atv

[@Jack-ne8vm]

Regen downhill? Hi & lo range?

[@speyman4473]

I'd use pop's trail 90..if it still useable..High and low range and fantastic gas mileage..Nuff said...

[@robreed8823]

You seem to think this is a e-motorcyle, but it is an e-bike which on most are made to be pedaled. They don’t even move unless you’re pedaling.

[@hobbyfarmer62]

Might be useful for checking around the properties you own. That said not a huge fan of big time product ad videos but understand why folks do them. More of a city bike for sure unless you live in flat lands not where it is hilly for sure. I guess at best it is just a toy

[@bluelightman1]

The styling gives husqvarna motorbike vibes more than push bike. I dunno if thats the best styling for a push bike practicality wise?

[@TheCoehess]

Reach out to UBCO for a UBCO 2X2 Utility Bike

[@mattharris2018]

Just needs to be faster than a bear

[@Neilson-ve9si]

Brother, that looks like fun. 👊

[@Radium3D]

Get a Surron!

[@awldune]

Looks fun, I guess it's probably more capable at hill climbing the more petite the driver is. It really looks like a motorcycle, I wouldn't be embarrassed to be seen on it. Or maybe I would be just because of how my knees were cocked out to the side. Shame about the seat height.

[@L46C3]

The hard clunk you hear in the front is probably the suspension bottoming out on the hard hits..

thebest ones are a bike and a kit. i just just got back 10 mile trek with a ttrailor.. those production bikes are too heavy and battery is too small. i got 2 of them 3700 trek

[@TheDrewCharles]

Please enjoy this positive comment in order to tickle your algorithm

[@Gordon_L]

This seems like a good way for an e-bike rider to sneak up on a bear in the woods without either the bear or the rider being aware until the encounter . Fun video , in reality that seems like a bargain price to me for what it does . I'm in Australia and we don't have bears so what do I care about them anyway?

[@audunms4780]

there are some childrens toys that atatch too the back wheel of the bike that makes clacking noises as you go. you could get something like that or even make it yourselph.

[@lpeterman]

Gordie -- even ig'nurnt 'Murricans know y'all Aussie's have those "drop-bears" with the great long claws what live in the stinky trees....

[@Gordon_L]

@@lpeterman Hey , we've got Yowie's too , they can be problematic 😁

[@lpeterman]

@@Gordon_L True, true. However, an E-bike will never be useful insofar as Bunyips in the billabongs are concerned... Just sayin'.

[@Gordon_L]

@@lpeterman Did you hear about the tourist from central Europe who did an adventure self drive tour and went missing in the tropical north ? Turned out he was swimming in croc country , could have been a large female or the dominant male in the river that took him . Local indigenous tracker said "that big fella there " He was right , the Czech was in the male ...

[@summerfi]

If they'd invent one that converts to a chainsaw and also skids logs, you'd be in business.

[@richdobbs6595]

Those fat tired E-bikes are basically designed to look good. The only terrain where those tires are the best tread is beach sand or going through mud. Lighter weight E-bikes built from converting mountain bikes are easier to cart around, and are sufficiently strong, and you can get parts to repair them. My Bafang mid drive has just as powerful of a motor, but the converted bike probably weighs half of what that one does. It is based on a vintage 2000 Schwinn bike that originally cost $500. I think my 66 year old carcass could go up those slopes faster than you did on my E-bike, even though you are far more physically fit. Just saying.

[@kenbrown2808]

I said before, you just have to talk him into buying a bigger, fancier pickup.

[@andrewh8504]

Let’s see how many pulleys it takes to move a tree with an e-bike.

[@DanielAtkinsFirewood]

So, cross-country riding is not an option.😉👍

[@DaveForArt]

The first bicycle was invented by a Forester who had too many acres to patrol

[@lindseysiegle1174]

It’s too bad one of the companies that make bikes more suited to your use case didn’t send one. I think Goat Power’s Bill Goat V3 would eat up your “hills”, but it’s considerably more expensive. They’re all much heavier than traditional bikes.

[@audunms4780]

Thats a too hewy bike, that extra weight i bet makes it harder on the engine and thus slows down the bike. I got too say i dont understand the reason for the added weight beyond style and want for inertia. You also got too consider that due too the weight and the hard angles on the square frame it is a safety hazard. You dont want it too fall and hit your shins or ankles. That could werry mutch happen if you fall or get got of the bike wrong. But hey, i havent tried the bike so what doo i know.

[@recordbutton1845]

Hope you like your ebike. (Well maybe you're sold on it) I love mine. On the weekends I do 40-50 miles per day. (I carry a spare battery. Looks like you have 2 batteries) I also have "mag" wheels like you. Way smarter. No spokes to tighten. I've put about 5000 miles on mine in 2 years. I've had 2 flats. One was a 20 penny nail smack in the middle of the rear tire. Then a 2/8x3" "twig" right in the middle of the front. I now have Mr Tuffy liners. Used painter's tape to hold them in place to keep them from sliding around while installing the inner tube. I have taken mine on a 1900' gain ride, but that was 8 miles not 3.) They do make AWD bikes with more power that might make it up that hill. You probably know that already and you're kind of frugalish.

[@rooster3019]

Born to be mild................. ;-) Lithium ion batteries will burn down your dry grass and anything else when they break down and flame off, Helmet? Why scratch up a nice helment"

[@stannelson2582]

When people are responsible recycling the batteries. I’ll get on board but till then. ☢️

[@N4HHE]

Plenty of battery recycling companies. A dead battery is a richer source of material than any ore mined from the ground. Mean old greedy capitalists know this.

[@pleinairbarnettoutdoors]

Switch out that X70 for a 70cc chainsaw motor 😅 you know you thought about it

[@dccrens]

There are much better off-road e-bikes you can get.

[@L46C3]

for the money??

[@dccrens]

@@L46C3 LOL! Yes. Free. Other manufacturers would send him theirs for review.

[@Kamikaze3557]

Yes, off brands, I spent $1,250 (Amazon) for a 2 WD / AWD, shocks front & back, hydraulic brakes, 20 ah battery, 26 x 4 tires, goes anywhere. Wasn’t going to spend $3,000+. Took a chance, so far so good 9 months later.

[@ju2067]

I like the good old days when ads were separated from content. I like your channel, but this kind of content is a turn-off.

[@John.17.3]

Lithium-ion battery in the forest. Knowing the volatility of these batteries, especially low cost Chinese e-bikes, best to be avoided.

[@copisetic1104]

E-bikes should not be allowed in Forrest’s, the fires caused by bad batteries are starting to cause big fires.

[@DarylGardner-t8d]

I think you are grasping for content.
