See all those angles they put on that down tube to that’s gonna make that frame much stronger 💪👍

[@Rip1Outdoors]

Yeh this is a good one Gary. Very comfortable

[@southernebiking]

Good to see them putting out a step through version that is still different than the step over. So many companies just have the same of everything, geometry, handlebar, etc. Sounds like they’ve actually change it up the geometry on the step through. Good job.

[@Rip1Outdoors]

Thank you Blaine. It is truly a great ride

[@richkraft8709]

Richard a great review looks as though you found your special bike 🚴 throughly enjoyed the ride thanks for taking us to Bay St Louis such a beautiful place be safe be well have yourself a great day 😊

[@Rip1Outdoors]

Thank you rich. Yes sir it is a great cruiser ride. The bay is wonderful

[@Ebiketips1]

Checks all the boxes for sure😀 That’s the one you don’t even think about when you go for a ride. 🚴Great E-bike

[@Rip1Outdoors]

It’s a good one for sure Jerry. A nice cruiser

[@pedrofernandez8729]

Outside is gloomy today, but on my PC screen there is Richard on a new e bike, so I don't mind staying in and enjoying his brand new happy video.

[@Rip1Outdoors]

He won’t bird turd you Pedro! 😂

[@GarysE-BikeAdventures]

I like the light on that I actually just ordered one on Amazon. It looks similar for the XPeak and yes, I’m keeping the XPeak I have worked a deal with Lectric to work with them. I’m looking into this wobble. Customer service is the most important thing when buying an E-bike , online . The only thing I don’t like about apps is the company can control your bike. I heard that one of the companies which I won’t mention took their bikes from class three down to class two and won’t let the people upgrade to class three don’t think that’s fair. I have one bike right now with a torque sensor but it’s a mid drive. I have a new bike coming the beginning of next week that has a torque and a Candace sensor and it’s a hub drive motor

[@Rip1Outdoors]

I really like the Xpeak Gary. Your new bike is from a company for review?

[@GarysE-BikeAdventures]

@@Rip1Outdoors no unfortunately it is not. I’m paying full price.

[@GarysE-BikeAdventures]

@@Rip1Outdoors I do have my foot in the door though at Lectric no bikes are promised, but I’m in communication with the manager of the influencers we’ve been swapping emails on a regular basis. And we actually negotiated a deal on the XPeak exchange for working on, trying to solve the problem at least on the high step I did tell him that I would welcome the chance to work on the one on the step over also.

[@terrynelson2385]

Good review Rip. Ya, that 22 inch step over would be a deal breaker for me if I were in the market for another bike. I wish the Ocelot could be retrofitted with a torque sensor; that is the thing I like about the Freedare Eden.

[@Rip1Outdoors]

Yes I love the torque sensor terry. Thanks for watching sir. Take care

[@wrongbro112]

Great bike. Can’t wait to try it out.

[@the4xeguy]

Great Video, Loving my Saiga. just added a suspension seat post. Made a huge difference.

[@Rip1Outdoors]

I love it too

[@TribodybyVi]

That's a nice-looking bike.

[@Rip1Outdoors]

It is a good one for a fact!

[@Marilynlovesebiking]

Hello Richard. Foggy up here. That is a very cool looking bike. I am not sure I would be comfortable with those slightly swept back handle bars. You do a great unboxing and reviews. Good to see you via my ipad. Hope all is well. Their packaging is superior to others that is for sure.

[@Rip1Outdoors]

Good morning Marilyn

[@fefemcb2288]

This is another good option for a cruiser. Seems a bit heavy, but that’s about the average weight of cruisers, I think. It’s certainly a beautiful looking bike. Just like the other bike, I love the swept back handlebars. Has me wondering if I could get that kind put on mine. The front lights on this bike at first reminded me of ET, then it was “Johnny 5” from Short Circuit. (Absolutely love that movie) Great review Richard. I could use you doing reviews on so many other products. You explain and show good detail. You have chosen lovely looking backgrounds when you get off the bike to do a review; water in the background, one with a yacht, the other with the pond and ducks. Beautiful skies with sun and puffy white clouds. Even when the sky changed, it was still beautiful.

[@Rip1Outdoors]

Fele this is a very comfortable bike. It is almost perfect for me and as I mentioned it would be if it had intergrated tail and brake lights. bay St Louis looks good even on a cloudy day. Unfortunately the weather doesn't always cooperate. thanks for watching

[@JohnH33817]

Hey Richard, Cool looking bike great looking frame wire management looks great like the screen, security,swept back handlebars,awesome review Richard be safe my friend 👍🙏review

Thank you John.

Nice review.

[@Rip1Outdoors]

Thanks Steve.

[@DrCarlLadd]

Great review. Thats a heavy bike at 81#. Beautiful looking bike though.

[@Rip1Outdoors]

Guess I’m used to heavy bikes having rode the deer lol

Nice bike and beautiful ride! Thanks

Great review! You are the same weight and height as I am . I have it ordered! Can’t wait to get riding! Question: How comfortable is the seat?

[@Rip1Outdoors]

@@haroldrose9667 not very comfortable. Look in the description of my latest videos and check out the bluewind seat.

[@Marilynlovesebiking]

PS Oh, this bike comes in a lavender, pinkish color. So pretty.

[@Rip1Outdoors]

Yes it’s called gradient

[@randymcgill7981]

Always makes me wonder about a bike when the welding isn't done clean. Is a 4inch tire bike a cruiser? Nice review!

[@Rip1Outdoors]

This one is definitely a cruiser. Thanks for watching

[@jeanroy8283]

Thank-you for your video, very informative. I am in Canada and will order this bike but I was wondering if you think It would be possible to install a brake light connected to the wiring and to the brake system so it lights up when you brake? I verified on Amazon Canada and they seem to offer some system as I understand that could do this, what do you think? If not, it is still a great quality bike! Thanks again loved your review!

[@Rip1Outdoors]

Thank you for watching! i have the same question. It seems there are more companies that are ditching the tail/brake light for this battery powered light. I have voiced my concerns to the company. Hey do you know someone theat is good a electrical things? Let me know what you come up with Rip1

[@jeanroy8283]

@@Rip1Outdoors Thank-you, If I find any system that could do this without being a electrical engineer which I am far from being, I will let you know! If on your part you find out a way to do this, please post it or make a video about it!Thanks again for your help and keep on with your great videos!

[@stevelemon5485]

Nice bike Richard - I’m buying the Saiga model and would like to buy a new stem for the handlebars before the bike arrives.I see the one you purchased has a fork diameter of 28.6 mm but Freedare is telling me it’s 31.8mm - can you confirm 28.6 is the one to buy please thanks

[@Rip1Outdoors]

Steve the stem itself is 28.6 mm. The handlebar is 31.8mm. I typically use an adjustable stem that I can move to different angles for the best ride. I usually use an adjustable 90 mm such as this amzn.to/3ViWF2p. That may or may not be what you are looking for. This one comes in 90 mm and 110 mm. Hope this helps. Have fun with your bike.

[@GarysE-BikeAdventures]

I cannot understand why on an electric bike when they would put a battery operated light

[@Rip1Outdoors]

Me neither Gary

[@pedrofernandez8729]

How do you like those swept back handlebars? I find they give you a real nice, comfy riding position.

[@Rip1Outdoors]

I love em Pedro. Joeys velotric has them and I knew they would be great.

[@Tom-xn2gu]

The top frame bar looks a bit lower than average. I would love to have seen you get off the bike, by NOT swinging your leg over the back. Any opinion on dismounting at a full stop? The specs don't show the bar height so I can only guesstimate, which doesn't work if I'm going to buy.

[@Rip1Outdoors]

Tom I can lean the bike towards me and step thru that way. I show it at the end at 27:15

[@Tom-xn2gu]

You're so right, I had this video confused with the Saiga you previously tested. That high bar frame, in comparison to the Eden step thru, looks a bit much for my 75 year old legs.Can I ask how you compare the Eden with the yellow Magicycle in the Saiga clip? I believe it's a Deer. That's a bike I'm definitely interested in as well. It strikes me as more nimble, but I could be wrong.@@Rip1Outdoors

[@Rip1Outdoors]

@@Tom-xn2gu I think weight wise the deer is a bit heavier at 93 lbs. the dual suspension of the deer is great. I still love the torque sensor and the cruiser frame of the Eden. I have a full review of the deer on my channel. Will try to post a link

[@Rip1Outdoors]

@@Tom-xn2gu kzbin.info/www/bejne/r2e4goB8jcyWj9Usi=wZIlWP3A3l2kCMDd

[@Tom-xn2gu]

Excellent video, Richard! I could feel your enthusiasm for the quality Magicycle brings to their products. For my needs, thanks in part to you, I've decided - finally! after several weeks of hesitation - to buy the Ocelot Pro. It's lighter size and, I think, greater nimbleness, is what I'm looking for. @@Rip1Outdoors

[@DaveMitchell-de9iv]

Checking it you can help. I sent Freedare $1299 to buy the Saiga bike. But they have not sent me any notification of tracking the order or eta. I’ve sent numerous emails asking for communication but they have not responded even though they say they will communicate in two days. Do you have any way to contact. It’s beginning to feel like I’ve been scammed.
