Thank you, I have a lot to be thankful for : ) Thanks for watching

Thank you so much for watching. : ) Have you looked at my Hanevear? It is a 20 inch, so it is smaller. I use it when we go to trails as it will fit in the car with my other 2 ebikes. It is AWD and will go anywhere. Here is my playlist for it, if you want to check it out: czcams.com/play/PLCOOqmV303D3ZH5tqzBQH9lZ38CCkfWvG.html&si=ia8g-d5STMoFlGst

@@papablueshirt I see that and great for a city person. Im trying for bigger tires 24x4 are good maybe 3"? but a ride that looks like an Ebike Im tall and like control for "real trails [rocks. tree limbes ect] debris often on real trails :) The philodo, keetles pro or the MC3 are good types that still look like a bike & should have better control so I dont have to fight to ride. thank you for the suggestion tho. that looks like a fine camp ebike

It does have the 20 inch tires, but it is bigger than it looks. That is the first thing everyone says when they get it. "this bike is bigger than I thought" The 20 inch tires make it so I can put down the seat so I can reach the ground, but a person could adjust it up according to how tall they are. This video here is me riding on difficult wood trails czcams.com/video/FePogw16bJs/video.htmlsi=dOsjZQx5wcG8JszH It did real well, the trails may be easy compared to what you were used to, but they were kind of over my ability at the time, but the bike did well. I think you are right, this is a nice camping ebike. I rode 5 hours in the woods, finally had to come out of the woods and ride the asphalt to get the battery to die LOL. I did ride the 35 mile difficult wood trail several times with my Philodo H8, it did it no problem. I think it would be hard to go wrong with the H8. And if you like to ride a long ways like me, the Jumbo with the dual battery and full suspension is great. I have seen some models styled like the H8 with 24 inch tires. Me being on the shorter side, they look intriguing. Anyway, let me know what you end up with : )

I went ahead and added the link for you. It is the first one in the description. If you have a standard type battery lock this should work for you and it is a 2 pack so you will have an extra. Hope that helps :) If your bike has a polly type battery let me know and I will steer you in the right direction.

Thanks again. Following the link shows no result for the item searched. My bike is an NCM paris foldable e bike

The link seems to be working from this end, however it looks like your battery is a different type. Yours looks more like a silverfish type, but you would need to remove it to make sure. If so you can find them by doing a search on Amazon for "silverfish ebike battery key" It pulls up several that may work, but you will need to match them up. Hope that helps : )

I have changed the rear tire as it wore out pretty fast. [up coming video] I will change the front soon. I was a little undecided as I did lose speed and range with my H8. But I decided to go ahead with one change. I decided to not put flatout in my tires. I put the heb alscapes on my H8 and then put flatout in and I think the flatout is what causes the problems. So for this bike I went with Ultraverse tires. Which I believe it is the same tire as the Heb with different branding. As of yet, I only changed the rear. I am glad to say I actually got higher speeds and have not noticed any change with range. I think the ultraverse may be a little taller than the stock tires so I am thinking that is where the speed increase came from. I am getting 2-3 mph faster. I think the flatout just adds a lot of spinning weight to the tires which slows them down. It did make my H8 more stable, but I like the speed LOL These thicker tires are supposed to be flat resistant, so I don't think most people need the flatout. If going off road a person could carry a little can of fixaflat to have that peace of mind. With my H8 I thought, well as the tires wore out I would get my speed back. Problem is, they never wear out LOL. I am pushing 6k miles and they still look new. The front still has the little nibs. Anyway, I really like these tires and I think it is a very worth while upgrade. It really makes the bike more stable and they seem to last forever Hope that helps : )

Thank you : )

I have been trying out new setups on my Jumbo, seat adjustments, handlebar extender, etc. So I have been dialing it in and did not want to change bikes so I am sure which changes help my back situation. My plan is to get them both to 15k by the end of the year, so I try to ride the H8 once a week. It is a pretty lofty goal, but I am hopeful I will move beyond my back/hip issues and can do some serious riding soon. Who was the lucky one to get the Walke? Pretty neat gift if you ask me : ) I am sure your brother will love the Freedom as well. How long before the Furious arrives?

@@papablueshirt The website for the Furious says "Pre-Order Price $2,399 (Regular Price $2,699) Save $300. Deliveries begin August or Sooner!" So that's all I know. I put down the $200 pre-order “fee” (refundable), and I also went for the "Additional Pr-Order Special 2nd Battery 60v15Ah option in rear rack for $200, regular price $600". I guess that means I will have to pay $2,399 more once they are ready to ship. The main battery looks like the same that fits the Wire Freedom (may be wired differently though) and is 20 Ah, the rack battery is 15 Ah. System is a 60 volt like the Wired, so it has a LOT of GIT UP N GO to it. The bike can be operated in rear drive only, front drive only, and two AWD modes. One shows a “lightning bolt” in the wheels on the display which is maximum torque, and if you turn the “lightning bolt” off it becomes less aggressive. Full suspension with a rear air shock like the Wired. CZcamsr CitizenCycle got the pre-production model, and has a couple of videos on it if you care to watch. Go to his channel and search for EMX Ultimate. He seems quite impressed with the ride quality. It's a 20" wheel like that Havever (I may have misspelled) that you have.

Sounds impressive, I will check it out. : )

Most of them have calmed down now, they are so used to seeing me. I knew I could train them ; ) Thanks for watching

@@papablueshirt LOL, that's so funny.

Thank you I am hopeful I found the source of my pain. I made some changes so hopefully I will figure it out. Even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while ; )

A lot less stressful. Kind of like riding in a park all the time. I go to our big town once in a while. It has a population of about 10k and it is more stressful than my country riding. I can not imagine riding in a big city.

@papablueshirt riding daily through Atlanta is murder. There are tons of people and traffic all the time, especially on the weekends. Some weekends, I just stay indoors because I'm too slow for the streets and too fast for the sidewalks, which are usually crowded with people.

Bummer, too bad there is not a rails to trails bike path close by as they are always fun to ride. Nice easy grade and nice and wide. I love to ride the Tunnel hill trail which is so nice.

Yeah, some people ruin it for the rest of us. I ride 98% on the road, I like the faster ebikes so I do not slow cars up so much behind me, and I can get out of the way if I need to. As far as riding bike trails, people need respect others. I have seen plenty of non-ebikes that had no respect, so I guess it goes both ways. I guess it is the nature of people. Thanks for watching

That is an idea, although I tend to avoid stopping. LOL If I come to an intersection and a car is coming, I just spin around and go the other way until it is clear. I think I got used to doing it this way as I am short and the bike is almost too tall for me. : )

Yeah, I am a little crazy. I ride too much then suffer for it at night. Then get up the next day and do it again. During my ride I feel 16, in the evening I feel 86 LOL

@@papablueshirt it is hard to stop once you're on. I guess the crazy helps me not over do it lol. It's not as pretty here either , well pretty in its own way I guess 😅

@@papablueshirt what elevation are you at because here you'll feel nauseated after a few hrs .

we are at about 1200 down to 600, so pretty close to sea level.

@@papablueshirt easy Breezy LoL. How nice. Can go all day

The main difference is the extra battery. If you need the extra range it is certainly worth it. To me that is the deciding factor. I put a dual battery on my H8, and it is not as well balanced as the Jumbo, so the Jumbo handles better. Jumbo should be in stock in about a week. They do have some scratch and dent used ones at the link below for a cheaper price if you are interested : ) philodobikes.com/products/philodo-second-hand-jumbo-dual-motor-dual-battery-full-suspension-electric-bike?ref=hrrzqwj6&variant=45199818653934

@@papablueshirt Do you think they will be available at Amazon or the Philodo site first? And Thank you so much!

I suspect it should be about the same time as they usually ship directly from their warehouse, so it would just be a matter of going in and putting the correct stock quantity. That would make the listing live. That being said, I have been watching the website. It started when I first looked at 5 weeks back order. It has come done to 1 week. So unless there is a custom delay or something, they should be available soon : )

I think so too! Thanks for the comment, and thanks for watching

I ride mostly Ky, so you were close : )

@@papablueshirt oh that's awesome I'm headed down the backside of the smokies to North Carolina right now

Thanks for watching

Thank you. Yeah, that would be a pretty long ride : )

I don't blame you on the scooter. 43 mph would be scary for me too. I like to go fast, but I would rather be seated LOL. I sure your brother will love the wired. Your pre-order I will take in blue ; )

I almost bought one, putting the bed back level was a great first step that really helped. Having the whole bed inclined 6 inches is good for reflux stuff, but not good for back issues as it is like being in traction all night. A zero gravity you can put the feet up and it combats that. Maybe I will get one in the future. Having back issues you tend to collect things. My wife says "add it to your collection" LOL I have a collection of gadgets, some worked well. Others like my inversion table are just collecting dust.

I mostly like it for the vibrate feature. Good thing it doesn't take quarters.

I have since found out it was a blow gun dart.

@@papablueshirt explains how he survived that's a much smaller hole, thanks for the follow up

I agree, I will not ride without my suspension post.

@@papablueshirt Worried about you. Take care of yourself. Love to you friend.

Thank you so much for the info, I always wondered about that : )

Glad I could help. I loved Roy and Dale, so that is my homage to them. Thank you for watching : )

Yes, they are 170mm. The original did not have a replaceable chainring, so you would need to change the crankset as well. Now It is interchangeable, so I can change if needed. Yes, shorter cranks would reduce the travel of the legs, so it would be easier. You do lose leverage with shorter cranks, but I don't think it is much of a deal with an ebike. Being on the short side, it really helps to shorten the cranks. I tried some 155mm on my H8 and I love them. I have some 140mm on order and if they work well on my Jumbo, I will try them on this as well as I think this would really benefit from shorter cranks not having an adjustable seat. : )

Makes me feel 16 again, thanks for watching : )

@@papablueshirt yes sir! you have fun out there and be safe on the road

Power in His name. Yes The prayer of faith shall save the sick, Amen. Thanks for watching : )

I guess he told everyone good bye as he thought he was a goner. I can not imagine being his parents.

@@papablueshirt truly a blessing from God to save him

I know, right? Probably thinks he is a horse : )

It is rough, but never give up. Thanks for watching

You may be on to something, as it did start around the time I switched bikes and seats. I probably did not set the seat up the same.

As a person who lives with chronic pain, it was not my intention to devalue a person's suffering. I should have included more context in the short. I was talking about a 14 year old that had just had a blow gun dart go through his heart. He died before the ambulance got there. They were able to revive him. They got him to the hospital and were able to remove the dart and sew up his heart. It was very touch and go for a while, but now he is making a recovery. In context of that, my back issues seemed small in comparison. Those who watch me regular know I refuse to give up and am searching for a solution. At the time of this video, it was not known if the kid was going to pull through, so I was rather emotional and just thinking out loud.

It is really nice to be able to go twice as far : )

You can do it : ) I can be my worst enemy sometimes as I forget I am old and have issues. I blame it on the bike making me feel like I am 16 again. : )

It is from CZcams music, the credit is in the show notes ; )

That is a very solid goal, I think you will do it : )

So true, I did a range test the other day which was all throttle. I had more fun than I thought I would. Just being out there is therapeutic : )

It has been great. I did some range tests the other day and I was impressed.

Yeah, the thought has crossed my mind. I have been experimenting with trying to duplicate my riding position on the H8. I also changed the seat. Same exact style and brand, but it felt a little different. I feel like a blind pig search for a morsel, maybe I will stumble on to something : )

@@papablueshirt reread my first post, think I added stuff. Ya, angle of the tube vs crank, lots of minor differences.

Yeah, small differences that would not matter if you ride 10 miles a day. But 50 miles it can really cause problems. So I am experimenting. Re: car miles, no competition for me. Driving a car is so painful I do not do it any more and very seldom ride. I think we put less than 10k miles on our car a year and probably a couple hundred miles if it was me LOL
