It was a good ride, eyeban speaks like a 90s New Yorker in real life , " I'm Walken Heeeere". It's Jerome , I had with the nami with the decals.

[@eyebahnrides]

thanks for watching the video and welcome to the comments section Jerome! hahaha I'm definitely an old NYer when the "PG13" filters are off. I tell people in the comments section that I curse a ton because I grew up here but noone believes me until they meet me lol. The ride was definitely fun. I hope they consider switching the future rides back to Sundays. I know its not as convenient but the roads are definitely much clearer and easier to navigate with a group this big lol

[@ridesharebiz5317]

That tunnel goes to the Batcave. Stay away from the museums. They might think your bike is a work of art and bring it in for display.

[@eyebahnrides]

thanks for watching the video! hahaha, yeaaaaaa we got all these random tunnels that always lead to random places in the city. One day, we're really gonna stumble on to the bat cave lol. I appreciate your kind words on the bike. I'm so happy with how it came out! Now that I did the controller upgrade, I can finally say that it's done!

[@ValiRossi]

Dang that looks so fun. Thought I was watching MotoGP for a bit. :)

[@eyebahnrides]

Thanks for joining us on the Group Ride! It was definitely a ton of fun despite the amount of traffic that we hit in certain parts of the ride. hahaha, I had the same thought when I was watching everyone turn. In my head I was thinking "This is probably what it's like to have grand stand VIP seats at a turn" lol

[@NerdsWorldNYC]

Holy Moly Batman... we get to see his face!!😎 Awesome Video!!!

[@eyebahnrides]

Thanks for watching! Hahaha, I'm really awkward so I try to stay away from being in front of the camera! Though on these group ride videos, I feel like I've had the camera pointed at my self a few times lol. Glad you enjoyed the video because these are always a nice change of pace for a solo creator like myself!

[@theweldonator]

Loved the group ride!!! I have to say, I enjoyed the aggressive riding you had to do for a second. Sometimes, you have to open it up just to stretch the legs out a little bit. It was hilarious how quiet it was when you were catching up. As soon as you caught up, the honking was back full blast, big difference from group to no group. Thank you for catching that custom build, I really wanted to check it out. You see the coolest things at group rides.

[@eyebahnrides]

thanks for joining us on the group ride Weldon! Though I can't make it to many of them, it's always a good time when I do. Oh man, I had a blast catching up to the group. I felt like Batman when he was carving through the streets of Gotham on the "Bat Pod" Bike lol. yeaaaa man, that super69 was craaazzzyyyy. I had to ask and get the details on it lol. We're starting to see a new level of cool ass sschtufff here in NYC at these group rides!

[@Desert.Air73]

Man what an experience that was. I drove up from Philly for this ride. Can’t wait to ride with you guys again 💯

[@eyebahnrides]

thanks for watching the video and welcome to the channel Aaron! I'm glad you enjoyed the ride through NYC, it was pretty crazy with all the traffic and the large group but epic nonetheless. Looking forward to riding with you again and looking forward to officially meeting you in person then.

[@sabaki16]

Aww man looks like it was fun again. I couldn't make it, forgot it was happening while I was traveling with family. Looking forward to the next (Summer?) ride.

[@eyebahnrides]

thanks for joining us for the video Sabaki! Yeaaa man, sucks that you couldn't make it but family comes first. It was definitely alot of fun but I hope they consider changing the future rides to Sundays because Saturday was just way too hectic on the road and on the side walks. Last Mile and S73 have a ride planned for every month but I don't think I'm gonna be at the next one. Maybe the one in July (if they can change it to a Sunday).

[@ShawverFilms]

AMAZING video! I wished I could have made it out to this one especially because I was out East but I was in NC during this one. Ill be back out soon and we will link up for sure! 🤘🏼

[@eyebahnrides]

thanks for joining us for the Group Ride and thank you for your kind words! I'm just doing my best to capture the ride so that other can enjoy it. Hopefully inspire more people to join the S73 community like the way your channel inspired this one! We'll definitely hang out and ride around next time you're in town. My wife and I are also planning to be in SoCal for a wedding at the end of the year and I may do an extended stay so that I can visit ya'll in LA!

[@eli-pd5lb]

what a beautiful city you guys have. love from sydney australia

[@eyebahnrides]

Thanks! I take for granted how beautiful this city is. But every time I'm editing, it reminds me how epic NYC can be! Though I would love to do a ride in Sydney one day!

[@marcb2raw]

@13:25 hooligan for you. Dude gotta be mental.

[@eyebahnrides]

thanks for joining us for the group ride! Yea man, homie was flying around the entire time. I made a few comments about it and decided to cut out most of it lol. It was too repetitive me going "theres too much honking and homie is out of his mind" 😥

[@LES2pac]

I was there nice event looking forward to more

[@eyebahnrides]

thanks for watching the video and welcome to the channel Kersa! Glad you could make it out to the ride and I'm glad that you enjoyed it. It was a bit crazy navigating Saturday traffic with a group that big!

[@davidfromdownunder]

That is a crazy turn out ! Great content, something a little different to your usual stuff. I like it either way

[@eyebahnrides]

thanks for joining us on the group ride David! I really enjoy showcasing the group ride and showing what it's like to navigate the city with almost 100 people on PEVs. It's incredible site to see all the people deal with the nonsense of NYC lol. I can't make it to the group rides often, but I like to make sure that I share it because it does offer a nice change of pace from the usual POV rides/ ridevlogs we do. I'm thinking of different type of content based on the response I got from this video but we'll explore that when I have more time to record and dedicate to KZbin. At that point, I'll be able to come out with more videos per week and having a healthy rotation of POV rides, POV ride vlogs, BTS, Reviews, First Impressions, Interviews, Shop Tours, Group Rides, etc would be amazing!

[@failsworth655]

I was excited for group rides this year but I T-boned a car that turned in front of me a few days ago while I was on my new scooter. I didn't get too injured but I'm having some trust issues with traffic and I don't feel like being on the road right now.

[@eyebahnrides]

thanks for watching the video! Oh man, I'm sorry to hear that happened to you. That's one of the reasons I ride so much more conservatively now than I used to decades ago. Several accidents on fixed gear, on rollerblades, on an EUC, and a few close calls on scooters, have me quite more passive than I used to be. I have very little trust in traffic & pedestrians, so I'm always riding defensively.

[@AlejandraLopez-us7ik]

8:15 Awesome to see you again! Ride with you soon, brother! 🤙🏼 - Vsett/Norman

[@eyebahnrides]

ayyeeeeeeee! Thanks for watching the video and welcome to the comments section! Awesome meeting you and looking forward to riding with ya'll again!

[@iUnicornTv]

There’s group rides that can be aggressive like you said, and very much like cars with their road rage. This seems a bit CHILL

[@eyebahnrides]

thanks for joining us for this group ride and welcome to the channel! Yup, a lot of crazy things happen when people get together. There's always people that feel like they can do what ever the hell they want because there's a sense of anonymity within a group (whether its with PEVs, motos, cars, bikes, runners, etc). So I'm quite happy to showcase how chill the S73 group rides are in comparison to the craziness out there.

[@JohnnyPrimeCC]

Great video! That's pretty awesome that your video lasted the whole ride. Mine cut right at the turn to Artichoke. My favorite part was when you were ripping up 1st Ave to catch up. Wild!

[@eyebahnrides]

thanks for watching the video homie, appreciate ya! I'm sooooo surprised that the X3 lasted that long lol. The OneRS actually died right before we got to central park so it wasn't even close. Yeaaa, I was surprised how long the GoPro lasted! Bro, that 1st Ave portion where I got cut off was a ton of fun. It' rare I get to push the bike in traffic like that but we really had to test that new controller hahaha.

[@ErockRodz]

Great video! You got some nice b roll for this video too 😉! Good thing you upgraded that controller, you had to put it to work on this ride! Good battery on your camera! It was nice seeing you again! Will catch you on the next one!!

[@eyebahnrides]

thanks for watching the video Erock! yea man, that intro b roll was pretty dope if I do say so myself lol. Yeaaaaaa.... I wasn't sure I was gonna need it for this ride, I actually edited out quite a bit of self chatter where I was like "hmmmmmm.... should I go into highest mode or stay in stock S73 mode". It was definitely great seeing you and we gotta catch up more on the next ride. I'm going to "not record" on one of them eventually so I can properly talk to people an have some human interaction instead of just recording lol

[@kingd_reps_reacts]

Him: is that a car battery Dude: nah🤨

[@eyebahnrides]

hahaha, yea man i felt kinda stupid after asking the question but really did look like a car battery lol.

[@kingd_reps_reacts]

@@eyebahnrides no need to feel stupid, I’d rather know than always wonder “was that a car battery???”

[@reubenbridges]

Ride safe and no wheelies [Five wheelies later] Excellent video opening, well done, taking off for the next ride. Excellent video

[@eyebahnrides]

hahaha yea, I didn't even put all the wheelies in there! I was going to do a " wheelie and ride safe counter" as a joke in the video but when I watched the final video, it felt like I was putting people on blast lol. I don't want to be accused of hating on the stunters even though I'm not a fan of stunting on public roads especially during a group ride! Glad you enjoyed it man. Hope to see you on the next one if I can get the day off!

[@necroopera]

Add a little dope beats here and there

[@eyebahnrides]

thanks for the feedback and welcome to the channel. That was something that I used to do on the channel. However, feedback over the years was overwhelmingly leaning towards "no music on the riding portions" because people wanted a more immersive experience and wanted to hear the sounds of NYC along with the vlogging. I may resume more music and beats here and there in the future.

[@andreperry7995]

Whats up man? Not a fan of big group rides because u always have some people doing dumb stuff. Good video man.

[@eyebahnrides]

Thanks for joining us for the group ride Andre, I'm glad you enjoyed it! Yea, that's the thing I hate about group rides. Some people just don't know how to follow directions and will purposely put others in danger because they want to do dumb things. Luckily, the S73 New York's group rides are quite chill compared to most rides because our group lead won't hesitate to kick people out for stuff like that. He also does a great job at setting a chill pace since we have families and riders of all skill levels come out for the ride.

[@nunyabusiness3082]

Nice job chshink

*Great video!* 🤟🏽⚡️🤙🏽⚡️🤟🏽 Nice to see a variety of customised ebikes 👌🏽

[@eyebahnrides]

Thanks bossman, appreciate ya! There were a ton of really fun custom bikes at this ride. Also really nice to see a board in the mix for once! I feel like the eboards and s73s should be riding more together since the speeds are about the same!

[@eBoard3R]

@@eyebahnrides 100% agree!

[@eyebahnrides]

@@eBoard3R i think we see it much more on the West Coast than we do in NYC. Here all the communities seem fragmented and operate within their own niches. Cali seems to be much more unified!

[@eBoard3R]

@@eyebahnrides London a little the same as NYC in that a lotta times it's similar PEVs. Although the fast EUC & eBoard riders tend to ride together often. I skip those as I'm an under 20mph rider 😂 Been ridin since 2017 and don't feel the need to go faster

[@MrYardvibe]

I am a regular watcher of your channel. How can I join your next group ride ....

[@eyebahnrides]

thanks for watching the video and thank you for your continued support. These aren't my personal group rides but I do attend Super73 ones if I can get the day off. I always announce in the "Community Tab" of the channel if I'm going to be at a group ride or at an event. You can keep an eye on there or follow @super73NewYork on IG

[@ThePlanet_L.I.]

Wait a minute..... Prime rides a flex but avoids riding on the cobble stones 🤔

My balls are sensitive!

[@eyebahnrides]

thanks for watching and welcome to the channel! @johnnyprime might not have been feeling the the rumble of the cobblestones lol, its definitely annoying even with suspension

[@AJCoReTV]

Cool ride video. These e-bikes are expensive. Do they lend them to you, or do you have to pay out of your own funds? Keep it up.

[@eyebahnrides]

thanks for joining us for the group ride, I'm glad you enjoyed it! They're definitely pricey but all of the bikes, scooters, and boards that you saw in this video are owned by a community member and paid for with their own funds. All the mods are also paid for out of our own pockets.

[@Vmaxfodder]

Wish I could find one. Almost finished with remaking the 40-56kw footscooter. Bro.

[@Jay-kv1tm]

I was trying to estimate the value as well. It was roughly 500,000 to 800,000 dollars in bikes and scooters with all of the upgrades , man hours , custom work and taxes, some of those scooters are around the same price or more expensive than the bikes.

[@akavolt]

If your local to NYC, how do you get notified of when these rides are scheduled?

[@eyebahnrides]

thanks for watching and welcome to the channel! I'm copying and pasting this from a post that I put on FB, I hope this helps.

Nonetheless, S73NY always hosts an amazing ride thats friendly for all riders of all ages!

thanks for joining us on this ride and welcome to the channel! Yeaaaa, it's always a good time with the S73 crew but the honking really gets to me. That's one of the things that I don't like about group rides. I had to cut out huge parts of the ride because of the honking but luckily, I had enough footage for a video!

[@eyebahnrides]

thanks for joining us for the group ride! When we're in large groups like that and we're able to stay in close proximity to the PEVs we generally don't lock up. In general, I would never leave my PEV unattended and out of sight for more than a few seconds in NYC. I've had a few fixed gear bikes stolen over the years and one was taken with in the 2 minutes I was inside the pharmacy picking up my prescription. They managed to use a power tool to get through the chain in that timeframe!

[@user-zr4df2kn9x]

You’re riding way too much onehanded. Makes me worried.

[@eyebahnrides]

Thanks for watching! Hahaha it just happens that more 1 handed shots made it to the final video than usual 😂. I also only do it more when we’re cruising at low speeds like we did for most of the ride
