@neilrogersrogers6313 Жыл бұрын

Well said Steve. I totally agree with you and have been trying to get the same point across for years! When people ask me how much I paid for my bike, I tell them and then state that it's really down to what your budget is and if you're willing to pay for quality. My Kirbebike kit, bike, cost of someone to put it together, upgrades and accessories has probably set me back about £2200 with more spent on upgrades which are on the way and I don't regret a thing!

I was harassed, threatened given all sorts of [some quite shocking] abuse the other day on Reddit. Why? A light-hearted review of a £4 piece of sushi. You're totally right, these people must be so miserable and bitter having to attack folks online to feel they're heard, validated etc. I think often they're unemployed, have been on benefits for a long time and are bored, depressed & feeling worthless (their post history often gives this away). I'm pretty thick skinned so it bounced off and I just disengaged, but it was an alarmingly unhinged rant, a lot of projection in there I guess, drawing all sorts of concussions about my political beliefs, my 'exploitation of working people' , and how I'm a source for misery and suffering in the world. Just thankful that 99% of these keyboard warriors are complete cowards so they won't act out their unfocused rage in society, face to face.

Trolling has a been a thing since public forums became a thing on the internet. And those trolling succeed when they get a reaction... An angry or upset reaction more specifically. I know it's easier said than done, But the trick is to see it for what it is and don't react at all... Or just react in a smart way to counter, But drop the mic straight after. A good troll will get right under your skin and continue to, Could be any manner of horrible things that yes in real life you would probably kill that person lol, But it's all an act in a public domain while keeping totally anonymous and untouchable.. Well, As long as they don't behave in way where it could turn criminal and be under investigating by authorities that is. It is sad though that people have actually committed suicide over this shit, It's amazing how powerful words can be even on a computer screen from randoms. I've dealt with trolls like we all have in all my years online, But I just don't give a damn! And that's that.

Hi Steve, I’ve just finished watching this video and I wanted to let you know that your efforts are really appreciated by the people who do properly understand really life costs and values, not to mention your own real life experiences (which you tend to freely throw into your builds for next to nothing). Steve as you know the haters will always throw out hateful comments or emojis, basically they do this, I believe because they’re scared to actually have a proper go at anything themselves, truly believing that they would fail miserably if they ever did have a crack at something which is new to them. Anyway please keep doing more of what you’ve been doing as it’s enjoyed and appreciated by many people who do actually know the difference between a spanner and a waist of time hurtful comment or emoji 😊

Everyone's an expert on the internet, though I have sourced my parts myself (yet to build) I have learnt a lot watching the likes of yours and Andy's vids. He is running a business so it is what it is sure I've saved some money and I'm one of those that will sit for hours before pulling the trigger, actually been planning to build one for a few years and just took delivery of the battery and kit the other day, still a couple bits to buy. The vids you make are entertaining.

@Busa0069 5 ай бұрын

I’ve sold a lot of stuff and by far Ebike and scooter people are some of the worst to try and sell shit to. It’s a rough business, bike people are kind of fussy already about their equipment and want the best of everything. Tell them they can have a better bike for less and many just won’t believe it. The masses rather buy an overweight Ebike online so they can feel safe rather than buy a hand crafted Ebike. Good luck bro love the content.

It’s also the value of your skills and time to assemble the bike and source the right parts. People who know will pay the asking price people that don’t will try it or try to knock your confidence to lower your price, stick to what you think it’s worth not what others are willing to pay, I know only to well as I’ve built thousands of e-bikes and dirt bikes it comes with the business.

@user-zk1zv5yy2z 7 ай бұрын

Well said, in essence you pay a small mark up and get quick delivery, guaranteed quality and the support and back up you expect from a vendor. If you want to save 25% and maybe get the same product or maybe get worse, take the risk. Essentially Andy has sourced reliable products and holds local stock. Anyone who has been bitterly disappointed with what turns up after 28day wait knows the better choice (and let's not even start about customs charges getting added and wiping out your savings)
