When you just bought a new E-bike, but you like to ride fast and take chances...

[@craftedworkshop]

Such a fun day of riding man! The bike is riding SOOOOOO GOOD now that I’ve gotten it serviced. Can’t wait to go again soon!

[@TheDangerMan]

No way this man just bought that bike for 2500.... THAT'S AN INSANE DEAL

[@The_Sampler]

Dude, RIGHT!???? Not even kidding, he paid in cash and owns the bike. Absolutely mind blowing

[@shrridex]

if I lived around kanuga and I could convince my dad to but I live like 2 hours away

[@485Design]

Some shops this month were selling brand new Levo’s granted the lower spec alloy and carbon for $3500 out the door.

[@jefferson9428]

Depends, you have no clue what it’s been through.

[@kylemoore2068]

@@The_Sampler what shop is that? I"d take an S4 if they still have one.

[@joemtbjumper777]

Super awesome meeting you the other day at kanuga your such an awesome dude and hope you have a blast on the ebike they are deffinately a blast for sure

[@thephilldoc5188]

Dude, what a bargain. Good for him, I'm jealous.

[@OneDeltaMike]

Just rode Kanuga today on my full power eBike. 20.4 miles, 12 laps to the top plus a few on Tortuga, 2:35 rolling time. There’s no way this 65yo geezer could ever have that much fun in one day without an eBike !

[@TwoTrakMind]

I love how much an an encourager and mentor you are to your buddies. So cool!

[@cedarwings82]

Alex you’re such a great and supportive friend! Always a cheerleader but also promoting good tips and safety.

[@Lex-Rex]

Sounds like my freaking mom. Annoying.

[@cedarwings82]

[@jkgjr8279]

Alex I’m sure I’ve mentioned this before but dude, you’ve got the most positive personality on the internet. Cheers bud 🤟🏻

[@The_Sampler]

Never get tired of hearing it!

[@77rockcity]

Being in Michigan, an e-bike has no access to trails nor do they really need one. However, during the Bentonville Bikefest, riding 100 miles and conquering Mt. Nebo, our last day was spent on Orbea Wild, and it was sick! So many laps and just attacked everything. Yoop!

[@mosiowaty1573]

Mr. Sampler, I must admit I started watching your channel years ago, when you had way more enthusiasm than experience. I could relate to that, so it was more fun to watch than the pros. It's good to see some enthusiastic beginners again.

[@khoujams]

good coaching buddies...stay safe

[@matt45540]

if you have matching batteries you can swap with your buddy to balance out the usage.

[@FoxRob93]

Looks like everyone had a fun ride. Great video Alex.

[@brandihodges9548]

My Emtb has definitely helped me become a better rider...more miles, not as tired, more trail options. And I LOVE Evergreen!!!!

[@joshtrainor8518]

Always pure enjoyment watching your videos!

[@andrewnorris5415]

Great for mental health. Still get exercise too. Great to see a YTers praising how you can get great deals 2nd hand. It makes all the difference at this level of ebike. Range does not drop as much as many think and that's not everything. Many are so tied to the industry they do not mention that little secret.

[@cyberjimbondify]

Johnny this and Johnny that. How about Josh?😊

[@ryanyeatts4394]

Such a good video!! Really enjoyed watching this!!Great content!! Great deal on the bike!!!

[@Sam97979]

For 2500?? Wow. If shops near me did deals on machines like that, I'd sell my old beater car and swap to that bike lol

[@CodyWBrown]

I LOVE EBIKES because they can can help squirrels get out in the backcountry where they have no business being.

[@OnzeManInKazakhstan]

And you get to decide that? 😂

[@matt45540]

I think having an e-bike for your friends who don't ride is a great thing. I'm able to hop on the Amish bike and let them take the e-bike. They're going to go slow over things anyway and it helps them keep up. And I've even been on the e-bike on trails I don't know and had people pass me on Amish bikes because they know what line to take. It's great to help match riding abilities

[@BlackMan614]

You realize the Amish ride ebikes, right?

[@elliotttampa]

Paint it black is no joke. I am still working on a 'no dab' run

[@485Design]

About 13 of us from an eBike group here in Charlotte were there last month and Tortuga was a mess then as well.

[@AC-ww6nf]

That is a proper deal. A little service, probably change out one or two worn parts good to good go.

[@The_Sampler]

He did it the next week and it's already feeling so much better

[@WilliamrikerNCC1701]

Carbon kenevo sl for 2500, thats sick!!!!

[@richardrangel9849]

What's to explain you went fast had fun and fell down. We all done this nothing to explain.

[@tomassanesson902]

awesome epik video and trail

[@tonym6633]

Jonny, speaking from experience dial it up 8 to 10 %. You will crash more but bro the feeling.

[@dazedman20]

That was how I wiped out on my first fall on my new bike earlier this year. New trail and a tit to fast around the berm went high front end washed out on me. Then tried a raised skinny and right at then end I knew I didn’t have it lol went to hop off and lost my balance fell on one side bike on the other saved the stanchion from getting hit but the lower and the top tube got a lil rash. Good times. Are you planning a comparison video of the two bikes?

[@crankerson]

slow it down Johnny!

[@GarySixSixty]

tell johnny to go build a cabinet 😆

[@ish474]

I need another bike like I need a hole in the head but at 2500 I would buy an E bike

[@The_Sampler]

A *carbon* e-bike!

[@briankelly1817]

Very curious if due to the e-car decreasing in popularity, the advance in e-bike tech will soon drastically slow. 🧐

[@TheRiotMTB]

Love that bike but is it just me or are those bars pretty flat. Could be the camera angle messing with me

[@OverTheHillMTB]

my only complaint about ebikes and it just happened here on video, the rider is not yet capable of handling the weight or force of an ebike in a turn and they tear up all the berms and widen our trails (and its DFW, there is not a climbing trail w/in 100miles) Okay internet, pour the hatred my way! otherwise ebike your hearts out!

[@Sirmellowman]

bro if I paid the ungodly amount of money these bikes/ebikes cost new and it freaking broke from riding a chill ass drop id be so pissed

[@moeschlabach5559]

If you really didn’t care what anybody thought, you’d stop talking about the fact that you don’t care what anyone thinks.

[@northwestmountainbikeaddic6874]

$2500 that’s crazy that’s less than my enduro that’s not even an e bike! What a good deal!!

[@growlith6969]

No way I would buy a SL version of those bikes. I leave mine in turbo all the time except for technical climbing just because the twitchy power and over-run isn't helpful...but I have never come close to running out of power, even when I ride a morning spot, eat lunch, and then ride another place after. And thats besides the extra power and the fact that the full power motors dont make that noise that the SL motors make.

[@pauleddy5146]

Can't wait for e-bikes to get to analogue bike weight. Then I'm down . . . immediately.

[@growlith6969]

Nah don't wait. The extra weight makes it really stable, they jump amazing, always have burly tires suspension and brakes. None of my Colorado friends can drop me and they have more experience and very nice acoustic bikes. I come from a moto background anyway so swapping a 250lb bike for a 52lb bike already feels like it's super light to me.

[@streddaz]

There's already decent Ebikes that are the same weight as say an Enduro bike.

[@kha0sv4ktor72]

I KNEW i saw you in a video from Crafted Workshops a decent time ago^^ he bought his shop from you right?
