BRO. YOU SPEAK TOO FAST

You like the word longevity

Just don't speed around act like an ass and you'll be OK, I seriously doubt cops are going to be stopping every E bike they see inspecting the motor in the class that's just ridiculous,even when there's scooters that are flying past me like I'm standing still

in 2024 there are starting to be restrictions on E bikes and this will continue. Obviously an E bike that can travel on regular roads with cars , trucks and motorcycles will soon require a motorized vehicle license, insurance and license plate and be subject to the rules of the road or will be deemed outright illegal by the Police. There will be speed restrictions on E bikes that go on pedestrian/bicycle paths. On some areas like beaches , boardwalks , sidewalks there will be outright bans on any wheeled vehicle - skateboards, E bikes , even bicycles. There also will be age restrictions coming as well . Welcome to the modern world.

WHat is noises are coming from the bottom bracket?

These contraptions need to be (and will be) regulated as motorcycles. The current free-for-all from the highways to the sidewalks is a danger to everyone. Large lithium batteries should be regulated as explosives. The only question is how many people are going to be injured or killed before the law catches up.

Nice video, thank you. I'm not a heavy rider myself, but I have friends who are and they will be happy with this info. (Congratulations on the weight loss!)

I read an e-bike 17 miles to the train station and in the evening return. Observations--very few ebikes in Los Angeles say compared to NY. Drivers have been nice, occasionally one will drive without care or concern for others. If I end up in a traffic lane and there are no bike lanes drivers see me and also pass wide around me. The police are not focused on e-bikes and they are not really focused. They have a contract to safeguard Metro and in South LA they don't-both LAPD and the Sheriff's. I ride through the South of LA and because I'm moving quickly I have no problems. However, due to the collapse of policing I can only park at home and at work as e-bike theft is a huge problem. My bike has fat tires and is all-terrain. I ride with consideration for others.

Very useful. 🙏

bikes with throttles and NOT an Ebike. stay off the trails.

Everything to take us for kids and cut us off from our freedom as adults

I feel that in Canada, the establishment has found themselves a cash-cow because of the massive boom in E-bike use/sales in the last 4 or 5 years ( and by golly they gonna git their cut.) Obviously they can't target manufactures with levies or tariffs as that's not how the economy works and the manufacturers would just tell them to pound sand and pull their products out of Canada and Canada would loose out on sales income. "Of course" the check is going to have to come from the consumers/us the people. This may come in the form of making more classes/categories of e-bikes so people who really want to have a useful e-bikes can pay for licensing, registration and God only knows what's next. The law in BC says your motor isn't allowed to output more than 500W continuous. The Eggrider controller is the only one I've found on the market so far that allows you to set your motors power output in percent.( you can actually set everything in your motor with this!) A 1000 watt BBSHD for example with the power set to 50% is 500 watts nominal output. It also allows for 2 separate profiles so you can keep in line with the road laws and have power for off-road areas as well. We see this all the time when something cool comes out and takes off.. the Government steps in and regulates it to death or just until it ceases to be fun or useful anymore. Maybe all cars should be speed regulated with horsepower limiters? A tesla S electric car can go from 0 to 60 MPH in under 2 seconds! Perhaps they need classes of vehicles, low speed and high speed... WAIT!! Isn't traffic laws already in place to limit speed.??? With this in mind, It truly becomes clear that all these regulations and classes has nothing to do with safety. A 10 speed pedal bicycle can go up to 70kph on a straight stretch with no motor, and upwards of 100+ kph downhill!!? Perhaps these need auto-actuating breaking systems installed by Trudeau himself to keep them under 30kph? ..... Now doesn't that sound ridiculous.. like to the max? I'm pretty disgusted by all this actually..

i will look into your website for ebikes , i want to buy one soon, thnx

ok so leaving the Ebike outside overnight is ok as long as you take the battery inside to charge overnight ?

Lol, just found this video and was so surprised to my see comment mentioned! I now own three Biktrix ebikes, my wife and I started with the Juggernaut Hub Duo, and a year later I purchased the Juggernaut FS Pro 3. These bikes are awesome, I've done two 100-mile rides on my FS Pro 3 and have over 2000 miles on it in the past year.

Can you prove they are yours? The police will want proof its yours, can't just point at it and say it was stolen.

Amazing explanation. Thank you. Now I am convinced both my wife and i don't need a mid-drive.

One thing I like about my state of MA is that you have to be 16 yo AND have a valid driver's license to operate an e-vehicle. Which after recently getting my license I completely understand, especially when they are mostly ridden on the roads. It makes sense to be aware of how the most dangerous aspect of cycling in general (cars) actually operates. 16 yo makes sense too because you can't even get a learner's permit until then. To be fair, the only cycle that I have been just barely clipped by as a pedestrian... was a fixie with no brakes.

e-bikes are for dummies

Here in the States, our laws are defined by the Consumer Product Safety commission. Bikes faster and power, are out of class. Not legal on the road. Light electric motorcycles need DOT VIN numbers, and DOT regulated brakes. CPSC.

I was interested untill you guys switched the top tube to this silly european s design. Straight top tubes are the only thing that looks good. Everything else is a fad. Look how laughable all those ridiculous mtn bike frames from the 2000s are now. Fads. K.i.s.s.

any updates on this, were they found, thieves caught? This is a pretty big heist, a seacan - somebody knows something...

What really makes no sense are the speed regulations. An ebike can only *”ASSIST”* you up to a certain speed? So what if I’m going *DOWN* a steep hill? Even on a non-ebike? Why not limit *THOSE* speeds, too? That said, I live in California and already have a *_Class M-1_* motorcycle license. So, I could *PROBABLY* register an ebike as a _"moped",_ but I wouldn't like to be *FORCED* to do that. Like firearms, idiots are going to own and use ebikes. There's only a limited amount you can do to prevent idiots/jerks/criminals from *MISUSING ANYTHING,* and piling more laws and regulations on the people who use something *legally and responsibly* doesn't stop those who freely break existing laws and will undoubtedly do so with additional layers of burdensome new laws.

Tell me what differend between mid driver and rear motor ?

Just ordered my first ebike, the Swift Lite, watching videos and having fun. Thank you!

I'm so glad that I saw this video. I am opting for the smaller size, since I can raise that seat. Thank you from 2024!

Seems like chains and sprockets would need more maintenance and have a shorter life on a mid drive. Is this the case? Are the components larger than on a standard bicycle?

I'm researching my first ebike so I really appreciate you showing such detail and not editing out that tricky fender. Thank you!

Why are you pretending to know about how to maintain lithium Ion batteries? Your lack of just the most basic, general knowledge is laughable!

I have what looks like a regular class 1 all-mt bike, but it is 4,000w and can go over 35mph. I've ridden it everywhere: on class one trails, no ebike trails, sidewalks, roads, pedestrian only areas, you name it. I do pay attention to not show off what it's capable of when people can see me, dont ride in a way to scare anyone, and am very conscientious of trail preservation, but I've never had anyone say anything other than a couple people curious about what it was. If you don't ride like a crazy ahole around people or tear up trails, you will likely not have any issues as long as it looks like a regular peddle bike. I think it's more about how you ride, not what it's actually capable of. It also helps if you have one or two grey hairs. A 17year old is probably not going to get away with the same thing as someone who is 45+, or certainly 60+. Us older people need the extra help from the motor, or many of us just will not ride at all. The day I can't use this e-bike, is the last day I ever get on a bicycle.

I think some of your creations were featured in the Mad Max films??

I think I want a pair of those lobster claw gloves. Source please?

") How u do it?

I have a Hebb Electroglide 500, 350 watt, throttle only. What class is that? 1.5?

Store it??? I ride year round. And yes, road grim is awful in the winter lol

Can you do regen with that bike?

😂😂u need a bigniu bgx

Just found this channel. Awesome info! SUBSCRIBED! Ty

Jokes on you my e-bikes are in my room

So police aren’t stopping robberies, muggings or anything considered nuisance violations, but they have the energy to target e-bikes? Interesting how society has evolved.

The hub motor has several advantages that were not listed here. 1. Hub motors do not incure transmission losses from the spokes/chains or belt. 2. Hub motors can do regenerative breaking. 3. Hub motors can be more powerful than a mid drive because a hub motor does not add more wear on the transmission. This is why some high power mid drive motors use a belt transmission (because belts can withstand the wear better) but belt transmissions are considerably less efficient than a chain transmission.

The first minute of the the video. Behind you there are handlebars with a green and red pedals under it. How much and do you ship?? I had a friend that lived in Saskatoon. That was 50 years ago. In the u.k. the speed is 15 mph So Canada is about 20 mph. In the u.s.a. its 20 and 28 mph . I want those bars so leave a reply to let Me know price and shipping. Mack

Go after speeder’s and dangerous riders. In other words: BAD BEHAVIOR. Things like wattage, throttle or PAS should be inconsequential. Federal /state/ provincial government should focus on making these e-vehicles safe for the user’s. UL the batteries and yes , install speedometers.

I am an epileptic I just discovered e bike not allowed to drive . So My ebike is freedom and I am afraid of that guy play the take the little freedom I have

I keep breaking my chain on my mid drive not good when you’re 10 miles out on trails

Omg! I seriously thought that was my neighborhood for a second! 😄 I LOVE MY EBIKE!

What about power consumption for the same ride ?

Unfortunately not legal in most of Europe

You should let people know that these bikes are now for sale and that many people have legally purchased them from Biktrix ,myself included.

I think he needed to ride both bikes on the same journey. Even if mid drive is faster, that lady would have lost if she was in a Ferrari…
