I'm like you Bruce, i have enough to charge so I don't want electric clothing. I will say a full face motorcycle helmet is great in colder weather.

[@IMBruceECLECTIC]

Yes......full face and it protects your head...😁🙏

[@GarysE-BikeAdventures]

I remember last year when Dan got a Gaiter his face he was all mumbling when he talked

[@IMBruceECLECTIC]

ha ha ha....ankle gaiters are nice...I got purple and a purple face cover

[@THColt45]

Thanks for taking us on another ride Bruce! Great video and beautiful scenery.

[@IMBruceECLECTIC]

100% Welcome! Thank you for the support!!

[@donvee2000]

I ride all year round to work and back, 20mi round trip. Just got the X and i love it. I don't have a garage so I take the battery in each night to charge. For the cold i wear a full face helmet. And i made wind gaurds for my hands that enclose my entire hand... I cut a round poland spring bottle in half... extended the edges of the cut portion out amount 4-5" with cardboard...and covered the whole thing w black gorilla tape. My hands catch zero wind...i can ride gloveless in 45° weather. And i have gaiters that go from my knees to ankles.

[@IMBruceECLECTIC]

@@donvee2000 ...outstanding! I love your creativity! 🧠 Creative thinkers...💪🦵 Thank you for sharing and thank you for Watching, liking and Subscribing. And...ride safe!!🙏

[@AaronHendu]

I got some cheap motorcross handguards off of Ali for about $5. Would highly recommend. I even mounted some LED turn signals on them. Looks kinda cool, well...less dorky than I anticipated, at least.

[@IMBruceECLECTIC]

@@AaronHendu ...another great idea......it is the wind adding on top of temps that put a hurting on you....Thank you for sharing!

[@garywillhoit]

Add a windbreaker layer to stop cold air. Go electric. Vest or coat, gloves, socks, use rechargeable battery packs. They make heated sleeves for down tube batteries. Rain cover for your helmet. Good for the winter. ☃️🚴🏻

[@IMBruceECLECTIC]

Thank you my Friend. My jacket is a windbreaker.....weakest links, which I think i fixed....neck, face, ankles, hands...... I got ankle gaiters, face/neck cover, thicker gloves. :)

[@ebikenation]

Winter is upon us! Time for battery discharge….. Only on a couple of bikes though. I can’t wait to get my trikes out in the snow.

[@IMBruceECLECTIC]

I cant wait to watch! :)

[@DriverJ-N]

I would do ebike mode and pedal in this weather or do intervals of off-road mode and ebike mode to stay somewhat warm

[@IMBruceECLECTIC]

Thank you for sharing! If you stayed in ebike mode (19-20 mph)...very little wind chill and riding in the 40s would be a piece of cake...but as soon as you break 30 mph....chilly! I still like the idea of Florida....ha ha ha. Thank you for sharing and Watching, Liking and Subscribing!

[@WyomingRider]

That bike has a great light!

[@IMBruceECLECTIC]

Yes....great lighting package on this bike. Everything on this bike is "top shelf."

[@ebikenation]

Winter is upon us! Time for battery discharge….. Only on a couple of bikes though. I can’t wait to get my trikes out in the snow. Still like my Action camera 4’s for videos. I do occasionally use my GoPro nine and 11 for some footage.

[@IMBruceECLECTIC]

Go Pro sucks....you can see the vibration and poor color...no where near as good as my Insta360 x4. Surprisingly...the sound/microphone in the MOD case is MUCH better than the Insta360.....

[@WyomingRider]

Great job Bruce!

[@IMBruceECLECTIC]

Thank you Brother!

[@GarysE-BikeAdventures]

Hey, if you get a Gaiter for your face, you won’t be able to tell your lips don’t match your words. Problem solved 😂❤

[@GarysE-BikeAdventures]

Rain and cold don’t mix unless you never wanna freeze the death

[@IMBruceECLECTIC]

ha ha ha....truth! Great idea........or I can become the East Coast Sur Ronster and where a full face helmet with tinted shield

[@ecocentrichomestead6783]

Oh, the batteries are compatible. 48V is 48V. Open the space beside where the battery contacts are on the battery mounting piece. Most likely, you'll find the connections there the same. You can extend the power connection to the outside of the cradle and connect it to your bike.

[@IMBruceECLECTIC]

Thank you my Friend for sharing knowledge and Liking and Watching!! Above my skill level. And, the attorney in me knows once you do that, you have voided the warranty. AND, I bought this bike with my Navy Federal Credit Card which doubles the warranty on E-bikes. So I have a 2 year warranty on my X. BUT I have done something similar with another bike that had an XT90 connector already in place so I just added a "pigtail" to be able to easily plug in an extra battery. The big issue with the X is where to put an extra battery without adding the rear rack.

[@ecocentrichomestead6783]

@@IMBruceECLECTIC yes, it would void the warranty on the battery and mount.

[@IMBruceECLECTIC]

@ecocentrichomestead6783 ...i am such a rule follower...most times. You know how stupid I am...this is how stupid...I thought about throwing a 72 volt battery on there...😂😅😂

[@pentiuman]

"I don't want any more batteries." That's what she said.

[@IMBruceECLECTIC]

Thank you for Watching, Liking and Subscribing. and sharing...ha ha ha

[@AaronHendu]

ET, being all skin and bone like me, must be thankful for that parka.

[@IMBruceECLECTIC]

Ha ha ha....he has become my wind blocker....ha ha ha

[@WyomingRider]

Rides are unenjoyable if your freezing. I know this too well lol.

[@IMBruceECLECTIC]

You and my Canadian Friends......already "enjoying" the cold..... :)

[@AaronHendu]

Glad the cold weather doesn't keep you off the bikes!

[@IMBruceECLECTIC]

Thank you....I thought you were going to tell me..."that ain't cold...eh." 😁😅🤣

[@AaronHendu]

​@IMBruceECLECTIC nah, that'll be in a month or two when us Canadians are actually freezing our nuts off lol. It is how we cope with our cold climate...we act like it makes us tougher or something when really it just makes us cold lol

[@IMBruceECLECTIC]

@@AaronHendu ..ha ha ha... acclimation....but still....too cold for me at this stage of my life....

[@MickyBee73]

Great to see You & E.T back out on Stella again mate, you seem happier now she's fully operational again. Heck, you're always happy anyway, it's always nice to see how you engage with everyone whilst out on your E-biking journeys.. That guy's dog was cool, it was very tall I noticed, and he said it didn't like bikes - well, I've noticed that quite a lot of dogs tend to get freaked out by e-bikes... Your neighbours a cool guy too, flying planes & helicopters must be soooo much fun, and it's a really cool talking point too 😅 Great vid mate, and I always love it when you go down to the waters edge, that place is so serene, and beautiful - I'd go there all the time, I love water (I'm a pisces after all) 😂 Keep up the excellent work!!! 🚲⚡👍

[@IMBruceECLECTIC]

Thanks Mate! Great Dane he was.....

[@WyomingRider]

Beautiful flag!

[@IMBruceECLECTIC]

I am the only one in my neighborhood and surrounding neighborhood that has one flying 24/7/365....and only one of a few flag poles..... LOVE the FLAG and what it represents!

[@AaronHendu]

I am gonna experiment with some silicone block heaters stuck to my batteries and hooked to my lighting system's battery which is now separate from my main batteries. I know, more stuff to charge...but I want to see if it would boost battery performance in the below freezing temps. And I am never looking down at my bars, Mr! lol

[@IMBruceECLECTIC]

Good job! I saw some on Temu----cheap....not sure if they work. AND great job being smart.....staring at screens and displays will get you killed.

[@TheTcat1000]

Just bring your batteries in the house that’s what we do

[@IMBruceECLECTIC]

Thank you my Friend....Already done. :) Last year I kept them in the garage for winter riding so I did not have to carry them in and out of the home.

[@MickyBee73]

I looked up what a Dickie is...some form of tuxedo front, or vest type thing... Over here people used to wear "Dickie bow ties" which is a really crap tie 😂

[@IMBruceECLECTIC]

ha ha ha....goes around your neck and covers your neck and chest protecting from the cold. :)

[@MickyBee73]

@IMBruceECLECTIC ah, righto 👍 cheers buddy, I'm just watching your newest vid, you're huffing & puffing on the way to the tower, bikes struggling though 😢

[@IMBruceECLECTIC]

@@MickyBee73 ...thankfully I am still about 125 lbs lighter than I was 18 months ago and I have good cardio.....if it was a 750watt OR I had better skills....could be done. She stopped right at the same spot every bike is basically stopped...right near the crest/top. BUT so much easier to get to that point with a 53 lb bike vs 120 lb bike. Thank you for the SUPPORT!

[@pentiuman]

Are you out terrorizing ET (again)? Let him go (and stay) home.

[@IMBruceECLECTIC]

ET likes to get out and enjoy the fresh air

[@AaronHendu]

I would love insurance on my bike but I think it might be more difficult for me cause I built mine. Only one way to find out I guess!

[@IMBruceECLECTIC]

Yes....ask. I made a video on getting insurance on my Graffiti X...coming out on 12/10 or 17.

[@AaronHendu]

I had no idea they were called dickeys lol I have a few turtlenecks and some face mask balaclava things I use though, kinda the same. I will probably end up with a dickey on my neck. Could use a dickey to cover up hickies lol

[@IMBruceECLECTIC]

🤣😂😅....i bought 2 bakclava or however they are spelled....those things that cover your face, head and neck. :)
