Deals for Days. Big home savings are happening now.
Thanks for watching! Hope you found it helpful. I've learned a lot since making this video, but 3 months later I'm still happy with my purchase. Definitely think it will lead to an upgrade at some point in the next year though.
What features are important to you in an e-bike purchase?
LoveIt
why is no one talking about 3:01 where his head breaks tech
Do I wait for “ Blk. Fri.” Or use $750 off on Rad 6+. .?.?
Most tests are year or years ago, it’s Oct. 2022 , I need move current 750 w/ 16 amps, suspension, hydraulic brakes, Step through, Shuttle or Commuter city types windows and included Racks & updated electronics, . I will need to add front basket, mirrors, iPad holder, Colors, prob. Hd. Light, maybe even turn signals, ( it strange, but need standard seat post or suspension post ) and fun adding to it every 2 months. So 20” or slim big step through ?
Very fun and comfortable
Get some g,dam socks on man , you got grotesque feet , we dont need to see them, its about dignity.
Great review.
"WIFE"?? 😲🥺😦🤨🤔
Thanks for a very thoughtful presentation. I recently bought the Mars HeyBike. I like it and am betting used to how best to use it. I like the fitness aspect and do a lot of peddling even in power assist mode. So far so good. Best regards
Nice TD25 in the back 🙂
E-bikes might seem to be cheating, but riding a bicycle is also a cheat compared to walking/running. You go farther for the same effort, so you get to see more and have a more varied route. If you're just throttling it, then it is at least a very, very efficient moped. What's not to love?
the one ima get soon is the reevo hubless bike
Jesus is God & He loves you
Jesus will soon be seen by all men, women, and children in the clouds. Jesus is returning now! Believe and be saved.

John 1:1 & 14
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

There Are None Righteous / How To Be Saved
Romans 3:10 & 23
10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Luke 5:31-32 (Jesus speaking)
31 And Jesus answering said unto them, They that are whole need not a physician; but they that are sick.
32 I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
1 Peter 3:18 (The word “quicken” means “to make alive”)
For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:
Romans 10:9
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
Acts 4:12
Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
Ephesians 2:8-9
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Repent of your sins or suffer the consequences. Lord Jesus died in our places personally to take the death punishment that sin deserves and then resurrected by the power of God. Believe this and sincerely repent of your sins each time you sin and you will have eternal life and nothing to fear. Fail to repent and you will end up in the Lake of Fire.
OMG I hope you got rid of the testosterone killer aka Prius
What about peddle assist bikes?
I guess it just depends on the rider , I'm getting a Trek Verve + 2 bike
first thing you need to know is that you don't need to wear a crappy looking helmet.
I got my first ebike a month ago. Three months ago, I was at my bank, and saw a man with an AR Grizzly outside. I asked him about it, and he was happy to talk about it. So, I started researching ebikes. I ended up with the AR D-Class and have been very happy with it. I ride for fun and wanted to carry a passenger sometimes. and it's perfect for that – fast and powerful enough.
Damn radrunner definitely paid for this video.
HEY GREAT VIDEO I AM WAITING FOR MY FIRST E BIKE A YAHMEE 750S . I BASICALLY BOUGHT THE BIKE TO HELP ME ON THE HILLS DURING MY BIKE PATH IN PARK. THE AGGRESSIVE BIKE TRAILS REALLY.
thank you great video
"Im new"
"This is overwhelming, but ive narrowed down my tastes and needs"
"Ill ask an expert"
Expert: Do xyz, youll like it more and it was my mistake when i first started"
"Ive disregarded the expert"
"I regret not listening to the expert"
What a chain of events.
Love this video!
That it is fun! Weeee!
@Aly Mack I'm 64 years old and I've been riding bikes for 60 years, but nobody told me that if a truck pulls out in front of me and I hit the brakes, that the bicycle will flip. This doesn't happen at speeds less than 12 miles an hour. It has nothing to do with only hitting the front brakes. When you hit both brakes quickly, on a bike traveling over 12 miles an hour the bicycle will flip. There's no time to think about only hitting the back brakes.
It looks like a little tank, very well built & sturdy
I just got a electric tricycle. Its raining right now. I will ride once it stops raining.
He says, up to 750w, but I've seen 1,000. & even 1 1500w. Are these unusual, cause I weigh 220lbs. What say u?
I bought the e-moped instead (Vespa looking type) no registration in Canada at 500w (Disconnect the limiter) now its like a 750w.
They have lock steering with alarm ,weight 200 lbs and hard to steal so you do not have to lock it to a post ever single stop, plus it can carry a lot of stuff without a wearing backpack all the time.
And the wide soft seat does not try to impregnate you.
Mind does 50 km range on a charge and it goes as fast as a young person on a 10 speed petaling his guts out.
I did buy the optional $700 20ah LifepO4 battery 5 years ago . Im buying the 30ah next time then im good for 70km.
I love mine.
Use the walk mode to go up steps but keep an eye on the stand when you reach the top step as it will catch on the step, easyer than carrying the bike up to your apartment
.
This video helped me manage my buyer’s remorse emotions 😆
I just sold my car 2 days ago due to high gas and insurance that I’ve been paying on top of my car payment. For over 2yrs, I only put under 5k miles to that car that’s why I decided to sell it.
I just purchased the Radrunner plus today and I’ve been watching a lot of videos. Your video is very helpful and informative.
Thank you. ☺️
I ride my eBike to my preferences of having battery last very long so I pedal a lot and notice the 7 gear Hubs you ride of shifting like a Clutch of various speed and terrain. Say I have 9 levels of PAS on 350watt, Im at PAS5 only on 5th gear GOING 21 MPH but I need to slow down so I go to PAS6( 6 TO 9 IS DOWNSHIFTING POWER,but you can go from 4 to 3 ect) with switching to 4th gear, then PAS7 3rd gear, PAS8 I start applying my disc brakes of the speed slow down I safely stop of 7 feet braking to full stop. It is really fun to learn this as it gets me more knowledgeable of how to use besides looking at specs.
This guy has the muscle density of a scallop.
Know your predictable riding situation and the features you need . Don't buy the cheapest or the costliest . Opt toward best customer service . Basic bike parts are universal , but ebike motor , battery cannot be serviced much . Look for solid warranty .
Didn’t want one, was gifted one. I love it.
Now ,it limits me heavily, time to get a motorcycle.
For me, having a bike is the most PRACTICAL way of mode of transportation.
I saw the importance and realized the bike as a MOT during pandemic.
I financed a Juiced Hyperscrambler 2 for just $110 a month. Big but I don't ever need to put it in a car because I can go far and even take someone. With 14 cents of electricity I do 40 miles and exercise too. I met someone with a Rad, he was not happy about breakdowns and battery range-degrade.
The Ebike world is literally the Wild West. Trust no one. This dude and EBR in particular are clearly in tight with certain companies
Big heavy and slow bicycle, a nice commericial though
Do you have to pedal all the time? Or can u use it where you don't pedal?
I'm learning to bike. I never biked even a regular bicycle. Can anyone please suggest which one will be easier to learn as a beginner- Bicycle OR e-Bike?
Is this Elon musks re invention?? There should be a magnetic electric motor in it.
What bike make/model is at 1:46? Thanks!!!
great video!! thanks
I got a car
