That's not a bicycle. It's a moped. It does not qualify as a bicycle under probably ANY state law and definitely not under California law. He's taking it places set aside for bicycles. He is why people hate ebike riders.

@@tarstarkusz i hope you had a great day

@@tarstarkusz It's good you brought that up. I wondered why he was getting all those dirty looks from that huge mob of bicycle riders who were being really inconvenienced. I think more people (i.e. drivers) hate bicycle riders than hate ebike riders. People who live in glass houses... ya know.

@@tarstarkusz ok ruski

​@@GunRunner3those same people probably hate most car drivers also.

Damn I thought this was a fake account until I clicked and saw it’s actually grind hard🤣 love your guy’s content

Thanks for the compliment. I have watched some of your videos, and your channel was one of my inspirations to do youtube videos.

@@kev7777777777 That is so cool to hear! What is a good way to get ahold of you? Id like to start a chat!

You can email me on my channel

You guys should make something that runs on rails.

Do you have a charge level indicator for that 5kw powerpak?

​@@philgiglio7922all ebikes have that

Agreed, all the tech we have now including that ebike is just crazy isn't it..

He has a five dollar mic that blasts wind in our ears at a much louder than it is in actuality. So annoying. Even little kid KZfaq channels have figured that one out. You just put a chunk of foam around the mic.

​@@whiskeymonk4085yeah this dude def just bought his KZfaq setup off Amazon for $75. all his budget went into the $6,000 bike. And his camera quality is ass. The bitrate is horrendous and zero depth cus he's using stationary cams for motion capture. Cool video but this dude rides his bike like a douchebag and it's quit amateur quality. And the way he narrates like he thinks he's an anime protagonist is cringe

Hmmmmm.... Maybe I should make a railroad attachment for your Lazyboy!

73, recently had to quit riding, I'm with you bud.

@@kev7777777777 PLEASE let us know if you do take up that endeavor, and build that railroad wheel chair, k? i may even buy one, right the rails in a wheel chair, WOW, could the person doing that write a book, or what??? HHO [70-MAY/2023 and in SOUTH FLORIDA.]

@@kev7777777777 ill subscribe if you find this man and send his lazyboy down the tacks

I thought the same. How fun would it be to build an Offroad lazyboy with rail attachments. That'd be crazy

But it's illegal.

@@WiilyDerbbinphlatte What is illegal about it?

@@timjameson1385 hahaha!!! Are you serious???? You don't know???? It's called trespassing and lawyers waiting in the wings to nail your ass!!

especially the part where hes trespassing- very impressive

​@@tommurphy4307Do you think you can get a bust?

Goes really quick, doesn't it.

I am 59 and I thought the exact same thing

🇺🇸 It goes way to fast! When your young you think you have time to do the things you always wanted to do later on but then before you can realize it time has slipped away from you and your life has changed before you can do those things that you always wanted to accomplish! Wife then the Family comes first! Before you realize that that time you put off doing those things you didn’t have time to do are just distant memories of the past that you didn’t take the time to enjoy! Was hurt while serving in the US Navy in 1991. That changed my life forever! The injuries and the things I was forced to do also changed my body in a lot of negative ways… As I sit here typing this the pain in my body reminds me of the things I have to move to accomplish right now… things that when I was younger I would already have done by now. Now I have to take the extra pain meds just to be able to walk to the bathroom and back to my bed… As my mom warned me before I left to go to my boot camp as well as when I was talking seriously about joining the Navy… “Beware what you wish for because sometimes your dreams become your never ending nightmares!” Do not put off the things you want to do now! Because tomorrow may very well be to way to late for you to be able to do those very things you always wanted to accomplish yesterday! Words of advice from a man who put certain things off to long only to realize… he should had done these things he wanted to accomplish while he had the chance! Because now they are now distant dreams of the days gone by… Beware what you wish for because when these goals are achieved they always come with consequences! List to your dreams! Most importantly listen to your instincts and your inter voice!

Just how old are you? I'm 72 and I have no problem doing what this guys doing and more! 👏🏽 👍🏼☺

​@@alpharomeo15 do and make a video so we can see?

Yes, when I was a kid, my parents would stop by there and us kids would run into the front lobby and get free packs of gum.

It's actually more than SCMTB as it has USGS and about 120 other businesses in it now.

operator you mean ?

@@dizzythakidd7350 I thought it was Engineer !!!

Yeah this video is pretty much all illegal... Very cool stuff but a bit ignorant/arrogant to post

​@@beargillium2369Yeah someone should report this video to the authorities and get this channel banned

Is the narration not computer generated? 19:58 is a typical mistake you see in these kinds of voice generative models.

​@@artispeedy definitely sounds AI generated to me too

@@artispeedy It is

@@artispeedy The drone is a DJ, spinning dub all night long...

That's what I was thinking, you have the population too.

soundtrack and even your announcing/expositional voice were both excellent as well.

@@yuckyool The voice in this video is almost certainly AI-generated, to be clear.

Why do you say that?​@@taylora9814

​@@taylora9814 I also think it is though this one is close to perfect and didn't disturb at all. I think we are almost out of the uncanny valley.

​@@StephanBuchin😂😂👍👍🇨🇦

I'm pretty sure the tracks at Davenport have been unused for over 12 years. Am I wrong?

Google knew your every move and heard you from your location then the algorithm set up 😅

Very nicely d(r)one.

videography*

@@cebruthius Correct, he uses video cameras, but, he's telling a story which fits into the category of cinematography (cinematography is a generally accepted term for story telling which has been an accepted term for story telling even after video cameras were introduced as another medium for telling stories.) I learned this when I went to film school where I also learned videography. Thank you for pointing that out to me. I would never have known unless you told me. (I was a member of the Southwestern Film Consortium for four years while I also studied film and television production at the University of Arizona, Tucson, where we [students] also shot productions on video cameras as well.) I have also worked in the film and television industries for more than 39 years, so I suppose I know something about the nomenclature involved in both industries. The first functioning video camera was invented by John Logie Baird, a Scottish engineer and inventor. Baird demonstrated his invention, known as the "televisor," in the early 1920s. However, it's important to note that Baird's televisor used mechanical scanning rather than electronic methods. The first video camera to transmit a video picture through the air or electric cable was developed by Philo Farnsworth, an American inventor. Farnsworth's invention, known as the Image Dissector, used electronic scanning rather than mechanical methods. In 1927, Farnsworth successfully transmitted the first image using his electronic television system. It's worth mentioning that there were other inventors and engineers who made significant contributions to the development of television and video camera technology, such as Vladimir Zworykin and Charles Francis Jenkins. However, Farnsworth is generally credited with creating the first fully electronic video camera and transmission system. While there is overlap between videography and cinematography, the term "cinematography" generally implies a higher level of artistic and technical expertise, with a focus on narrative storytelling and visual aesthetics for the big screen. Videography, on the other hand, tends to be more practical and functional, aimed at capturing events or creating content for various platforms. The term "cinematography" in the last couple of decades through the use and cross-over of digital video into the cinema for story telling has allowed professionals who work in both mediums to tell their stories on the big screen as there is considered to be very little difference between the two forms of technology. So you will hear professionals in the entertainment industry use the term "cinematography" loosely when talking about the business of story telling, whether on the big screen or on a flat screen. Almost all "movie" theaters now and have been using digital projectors for quite some time and only a number of "art house" movie theaters still use film projectors. Even the word "movie" comes from the term "moving picture" which all forms of on-screen entertainment are doing. They're moving. At least, our perception within our brains says they are. It's important to note that the boundaries between these two fields can be fluid, and individuals may use the terms interchangeably depending on context and industry norms.

@@lowerastral1963 "Hello ChatGPT, can I get an essay from the perspective of film school alumnus?"

​@@cebruthiusand it's only gotten worse since the time you left this 🙄

Same. Anyone know the make/model?

I'm interested as well

Bump, would also like to know about the bike. That thing looks tough!

@@bolland83 Bump,Bump,

I used to ride a Stealth Electric Bomber, which is a similar rear hub motor as his bike. They still make them.

A choo choo bike!!

Yeah like a sidecar backpack frame or something

He knew it was impressive, because it's technically two different points in the video he's showing the same clip - One a zoomed close-up shot. That's some confidence, right there.

I'm wondering how the back wheel was kept on the track and didn't fish tail. Front wheel was most definitely locked from any wiggle but surprised this mechanism worked for the big and small back wheels to stay on.

"You don't have to beat me, Michael. You just have to try and keep up".

I thought at least one of those movie scenes was from Magnum Force, which was one of the Dirty Harry sequels... You can tell because he's holding a .44 Automag. Terrible gun, always malfunctioned, but it looked super cool.

i own all the automags the.30 carbine is my fave automag III @@mdemers767

Now it's your turn to document rides through rural Germany ...

That’s far away from home.

Agreed! The entire video,I was just amazed that this came from only ONE PERSON!!! Incredible!

Truly amazing. It's better produced than a lot of cable or streaming TV series. I only wish he'd shot it a little later once CA started having winter rains...this area can be very green.

Yeah this bike looks and sounds awesome did you buy it or build it yourself?

Following to see what bike cause it’s what we’ve all been wanting

Looks like a diy project I've never seen any bike like that

I’m from East coast Australia and also very keen on info pls

@@JoshuaCampfens I think he built this bike himself, he hasn't replied, so that's what I'm picking.

I agree, NO 'music' would be best!! I'd also llike to know more details about the bike. Would he consider building such bikes for sale to others? Costs?

Don't listen to the whiners about the music you can't please everybody I thought the music was apropos! 👏🏽 👍🏼☺

Not sure why they don’t want music. I thought the music enhanced the experience. Job well done.

@@d.jasonmcneese2730 Some videos music is best left off, especially if there's trains running. But this video the music fit right in!

Another "I loved the music" reply. You are a skilled video editor and cinematographer. I didn't think I would watch the whole video but it was so compelling I just kept going to the end.

I'd love to see that too! I have a 2600w Splach Scooter (Calif company!) that pulls like your bike, but with all your weight and attachments you must have huge wattage on your bike to wheelie up hills!

Yeah this is exactly why I picked up my phone. Was watching this on my TV and thought “how cool!” and then thought “where and how are you recharging everything???”

5kWh, it's mentioned in the video.

I'm totally on board with this idea

A guy called Andy Kirby does all this and shows how to put the e-bike power up etc ,messes with a lot off the new tech ,

So true true, I have no idea why it did that. Instead of following me, it pointed down the tracks in the direction I was going to go, like it knew where I was headed next.

@@kev7777777777 What drone did you use?

@@whereverimayroam74 DJI Mini 3 pro

@@kev7777777777 Hi ! Maybe you have separate video about this E-bike ? Interesting design, i would like to learn more about its process of building. Greetings from Ukraine !

I went out on a day of fishing with 4 fishermen in Sri Lanka. It was a catemerran. The main body was a Mango log about 22" in dia and 24' long. There were about 50 identical craft out on the water, near shore. They were aiming for shrimp, and threw all the juvenile fish (all dead) back in the water. There were no mature fish, because the region was so overfished.

@@brahmburgersand that's why there is fishing laws

it's funny that you mention it but, watching this, I was reminded of Kim Stanley Robinson's "Three Californias" SF trilogy which features traveling on abandoned coastal railways in a post-world war III world.

I'm not exactly familiar with what California's "Central Coast " is...could someone who knows post the starting point and the finish line . I'm surprised the author didn't include it himself .

Same here !!! 👍✊

Great Video!!!

looks like he made the frame...definitely custom for his use case, but I would love more info too, also about the hub motor / wheel

Of course he bought it. It's titanium frame. And battery. Those 2 easily 5k usd to buy

I’m interested in the bike too. I love long rides and my curent E-bike can’t go 120 miles without multiple charges or battery swaps.

@@eXTreemator he built it
