After selling my HD at 74, now At 81, I ride my e-bike almost everyday, weather permitting, I’m on my 4th e-bike, drove the hell out of them and then, I give them away to relatives.

If you have ridden bikes for years and are in good shape absolutely go for it you only live once

73 thinking like I'm 40. Pushing air on two wheels is still a thrill at any speed and good for the brain, heart and sole.

Well said. Better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it 😂

I rode Harley four 36years sold it few years ago and bought my first ebike last year in September ,and bought a dual motor 750w 60v Fabulous EMX XTREME and love it and I am 70yrs old.

I'm 74 now, but in my younger days I've been known to ride a motorcycle well over 100 mph. Thank you God for watching over the young idiot I once was. All that to say, I think your comment about an e-bike filling in the missing element of a good motorcycle ride is right on. Can't wait for my Ecells 5 Star to arrive. There are plenty of riding trails up here in the Pacific Northwest, and I'll be blazing along on many of them. Great ride; great video. Thanks for posting. Glad your tunnels are free of monsters. Later.

Love your attitude!

Always enjoy riding along with you😂 I'm 69 and retired. I've had fast motorcycles, a few corvettes, ATV'S and now fast ebikes. I love speed but like you, I slow down when nearing people as all "should do".

Going through these tunnels is like a near death experience LOL light and all. I'm 70 and I tear up the neighborhood with my Freedom. Best thing happened to me in a long time.

I'm 37 and I enjoy your videos. This is a great video and great advice. As someone who has had RA since childhood( I cant use a normal pedal bike), getting into ebikes has changed my life! Thank you so much for the video!

Pretty cool! More power to you (no pun intended). Looks like fun. Back in the day we used to try to build and ride go carts in the backyard and then they outlawed riding them in most places so we gave up that hobby. Nowadays, I ride what they call a hybrid or fitness bike around a small leafy city and enjoy the pedaling and cardio. Went 17 mph down a hill once but mostly ride around 12 mph or less and that suits me just fine. I’m not into going fast. I enjoy doing my thinking while taking in the sights and sounds in the gorgeous surroundings. Wouldn’t mind trying a fast e-bike just for fun now and then. On a sour note a heavyset senior riding a big and fast e-bike bullied his way through a group of cyclists and pedestrians on a trail in a park the other day-what a hotdog. Such riders give e-bikes a bad reputation. Seemed like he didn’t give a hoot about anyone but himself. In this video at least you weren’t doing anything like that. Still if you ride an e-bike and are respectful others I’m a fan!

We all make personal choices. It's when those choices are no longer available, that I get pissed off.

Took my Freedom out with some other near-seniors who had name brand 750 watt bikes. Had to put the C5 setting on 3 to half the power output so that I could get some exercise at the slower speed we were traveling.

I ride a class 2 fat tire folder at over 66. At 20 mph, i can hear and feel the motor click off. 20 is fast for old people. I ordered a class 3 ebike for pulling a trailer. I lnow my 500 watt hub drive will pull okay, i still like a 750 watt ebike that will go 28mph at times maybe.😬

You've said it ALL! I'm 63, and I had my WIRED FREEDOM for 13 months, over 3500 miles. Had HARLEYS most of my life. This is a fantastic adventure for me. And now have similar aged friends finding out how much fun this is. When they try my ebike THEY'RE BUYING!

I'll be 62 in August. My first ebike was a 2017 Rad Rover, I've rebuilt it to do about 30-35 mph. I have a few other bikes I've built that do the same speed and a couple that are stock. I swore I'd never buy another prebuilt ebike, because my builds are much better quality. I am one drunken Saturday away from buying the new Wired ebike. I've talked myself out of it a few times, mostly because I don't want to hear the wife yell at me about another bike in the garage.

Love the scenic ride wherever you are at . My thiughts exactly . I am just over 60

The tweaker tunnels look like a fun ride. We don't have them here yet lol. Your talkin alot of sense here I bet it drives some folks up a wall. Great video and thank you for sharing!

I love how you mention how distracted drivers are today for the reason you sold your Harley couldn't agree more. drivers have never been worse so get off the road and stay safe

I agree with you on the subject at hand. I'm 55years young and have purchased 3 ebikes and a scooter so far. I Enjoy riding these things.

Should seniors ride ebikes : Should seniors ride bikes of any kind at high speeds. When your older things break easily , aand you are more infirm than 30 year olders . Moderation in all things is beneficial . Desperate times may call for desperate actions though like dangerous situations etc. The other option , is tour Bike Motorcycling , and to do that you'll be in a more comprehensive situation with traffic , moving vehicles , traffic laws and restrictions , and accident liabilities . I think i would like to tour bike on an ebike ....with spare parts and backup like : ecflow 1000 charger for fast reboots , and extra tires etc. Driving from one designated area to the next , and taking the back roads .

I got my first ebike last August(23 Wired Fredom in orange) at 69 years old. I haven't dialed it up yet, but I am going to do that soon. We don't have trails like those that you have in the coal region of PA, but we have many trails going through the woods made for four wheelers and washed out roads going to some lakes and ponds in our area. Hey! Where did you get your biking gloves? I like how they go with the orange bike's color.

In situations in which elderly may have equilibrium challenges, two words: e-bike trikes.

Just got my Ecells Super Monarch AWD last week and got 70 miles on it so far. I have noticed that the more I ride it the more competent I become. I haven't done any riding in the last 30 years but it does come back,. You are right you have to have your head on a swivel when you ride, and to quote Dirty Harry, " A mans got to know his limits". Stay thirsty my friends.

I've just begun my search for and E-bike. I'm semi-retired, have a short (but too long for a pedal bike) 8-mile commute with hills/long inclines Tucson area. So, I could use it for work commute & the joy of riding (like you just did in this video).

if you can talk normally, you aren't working hard enough. Yes of course seniors should slow down. Reaction times go way up. Hospital bills are way up. Healing time goes way up. Chances of accidents go way up. In the old days (pre E) the ONLY bike riders going fast on level ground were the BEST riders and they got there with many many hours of saddle time at slowly increasing speeds. Seniors might have experience (I'm 65 in 2 weeks) but if you dont' have 30 years of riding you shouldn't be going fast. And that can be 15mph in some places.

Some can and some should not. Has NOTHING to do with age.

You shouldn’t stop riding the tunnels but you should be armed when you do it.

Ever been chased by a dog? It's crazy to think that they can run full out and still bite you( I carry bear spray( for the 2 and 4 legged animals))!

Well I am going to be 64 tomorrow. In addition I have been retired for 10 years. I still have a Tri Glide that I bought new in 21 and I am waiting on my Ebike. The V3 Goat and I am going to take it to 72 Volts. If I need to go highway speeds it will do it.

Great video, hell ive played warships for years pc version 🔥

I am 71, ordered the new 2024 Wired Freedom. First time using an e-bike. Excitedly awaiting for shipment. I am confident in my abilities to push the Freedom to it's limits. As my wife say's when discussing my bike riding habits. "He is a lunatic when on a bike."

If you can dodge a wrench you can ride a fast ebike

Reminds me of the old SNL skit, Deep Thoughts by Jack Handy lol

Ecells brother! Ecells ! Go buy a triple crown or a five star dual battery with upgraded front forks, teckron piston breaks, 203 mm front and rear rotors ! For less than $2500 and free shipping, more important own and run by David Cleveland a veteran and U.S citizen from Nevada Ecells

I'm 35, still have a long road to reach senior lol

250-Watt motor IS max Watt legal motor on bicycle paths! NFL-size rider here with 250W motor. Be forewarned...

Here's the way I feel. I ride a MTB for health primarily and it's fun. If however, I think about adding a motor/engine I'd just rip my dirt bike mc and not apologize for doing so. I think e bikes are cool for people who dig em though.

You Sir Are Hilariously Honest ! 🤡 !

Im sure ill still be riding souped up ebikes when im a old man.

I am 52 so I am getting close.. The thing that I see with the videos of people on that Wired Freedom is that people go to areas that they would not normally go.. You can take that bike to areas where you can't go on a Harley.. I am in Denver but close enough to the mountains that I would want to use the bike to go into the mountains and away from the City.. I still want a bike that is geared.. I would rather be able to go 10 mph up a mountain than 50 mph on the flats.. Can always go 50 mph down the mountain;)

As another high speed senior I would say it depends, some people yes, some no. First of all you have to be true to yourself. Are you proficient with driving things fast. If you are generally on the Strugglebus when it comes to operating mechanical things and sensing speed limitations, such as cornering, maybe a fast e-bike is not the best decision. I see you driving your cars sometimes struggling just to make a lane change at 10 under the speed limit. lol. I see videos of people riding a motorcycle for the first time. They throttle up and immediately get panic locked and drive it into the shed or something. Meanwhile, somebody else can figure it all out right away. Driving a bike into a wall at 35MPH is gonna hurt or worse. As Clint Eastwood said, "Man's gotta know his limitations". LoL. Paragraph rant over now. 😁

I'm 50 years old I've been riding a regular bike since 2008 doing 20 miles a day up until covid-19 I had covid Fairly bad these last couple years I started getting back into a normal routine but I bought a electric bike conversion kit in January of this year the bike will go 40 miles an hour which is good but my average speed is 20 to 25 unless I'm being chased by a dog which happened a few times where I had to floor it but it does pretty much what I wanted to do lots of fun it is hard not to go fast knowing that it will go fast I have two cars but I hardly drive them plus their Classics and I like riding the bike more than driving my car

Nothing wrong with the step through especially if you have a bag on the back, even though you can swing your leg, it's easier to bail out of. for seniors e bikes are good exercise and get you out of the house

I think all seniors should get one. Baby Boomers are a huge voting block and maybe it will get the politicians to give safe dedicated bus and bike lanes. This reduces congestion in the cities plus noise and pollution, not to mention, but change to a mixed zoning law so we have nice pedestrian neighborhoods.

Does 59 count as a senior? If so I ride a Philodo H8 that's capable of 35 mph

Hi Ruger 👋 I want Power and Range. How far are you getting at an average 20MPH ?

like the gloves. share the link

Class 1 e-bikes only…

Speed limit signs lol

If it's 750watts or more it's not an ebike! Read the FED LAW!

It's funny how the Wired KZfaqrs started shilling E-Cell😂
