As a pre-teen and early teen living in south Chicago (in the 1950s) my life was on a bicycle. it was not a means to an end, it was an end in itself. During the summer I lived on my bike. Those were the days of the 26 inch balloon tires. We did not understand the health benefits, nor did we care. It was a fun, joyful way of life. We would ride the hiking trails in the forest preserve just outside the city. We were Mountain Biking years before Mountain Biking existed (shows my age 80). Now at my age the ebike has brought all that back, except for the Mountain Biking. I want to encourage other "Super Seniors" biking, the fun and joy is back with endless designs of ebikes to fit your needs.

Ebikes in 2024 vs 1954 - Reminisce with me!
Awesome, ebikes are great
and this is why us federal law allows ebikes/gas bikes on state n govt trails. 🍻
Thanks, I did not know that.
Back in the 60s we would scavenge used bikes for parts
Back in the 50s I repaired my coaster break, what a mess. Don't remember where I got the parts.
@@ebikebert my brother and I,we tried to make a Go cart with a lawn mower motor and wood planks
My car broke down. And bought a e bike Schwinn 27" tires. I'm very happy with it.
Love it. Thanks for viewing and commenting.
Here's another pointer, you are killing your cellphone by letting it bake in the hot sun...
Thanks for the tip.
Great ride again Bert! Throttle only allowed unfortunately in the UK off road! Lucky you Over the pond.👍🇬🇧
I hear ya.
Hey Bert I'm 63yrs. old with neuropathy and a lot of back issues not to mention I've had my hip replaced 4yrs. ago . I have been ebiking for over 4 years and it's my only form of transportation , currently I own a Wired Freedom and I love ebiking . I had gained so much weight with all my issues especially not being able to walk pain free until my hip was replaced . I have lost 40lbs by riding my ebike everyday weather permitting . Yeah sometimes I get dirty looks from the so called professional bikers on the trails , well they can just kiss my back tire cause I'm gonna enjoy myself and get in some exercise the best way I know how , so you keep on keeping on enjoying yourself as well .
Good for you and thanks for the encouragement.
Thanks for the ride, Bert. Im pedaling and CZcams-ing down here in Omaha Nebraska, the 49th least friendly state for cycling. Love my class 2 bike. I have the same set up across my handlebars, strobe light is a must in Omaha. Enjoyed the video and pray Im still pedaling when I am a super senior. Great work. Ill subscribe after I hit the like button.😅
Thank you so much for the info and for subscribing.
Im 68 from Bristol .uk ive been rideing my ebike for a few months now really enjoy sometime i could do with a throttle enjoy your vidio
Thanks for viewing and thanks for the comment. I do have a throttle, makes a big difference (Class 2).
Excellent ride and great advice.
Thank you>
Fellow coffeeholic here too. I'm still looking for a better substance I can abuse but haven't found it yet myself. LOL
I can quit when ever I want....I just don't want! Let me know when you fing a different (legal) substance lol.
New sub (couple of weeks) and love your Friday bike rides. Watching from NC and I really appreciate your advice and mindset as you ride... Keep them coming Bert!
Thank you. Mid August will switch to Sunday posting.
Great video. You have many beautiful areas to ride
Thank you for watching and commenting.
Many more miles to go Sir! Happy Biking!
Thanks and you to, keep safe.
Just want to say thank you very much Mr Bert for sharing both your time and experience with all of us! Liked and a new sub👍👍
Thank you! I post a video every Friday morning.
@@ebikebert Thanks for your response and the heads up on Fridays new post , I’ll look forward to it!!
Great!
I bike a lot because I can't walk far. Having a e-bike has increased my mobility even more
Awesome, good for you. Thanks for viewing and commenting. I post a new video every Friday AM.
I ride simply because I don't like to drive. Alternating between the Dutchy and the ebike keeps me healthy and lets my poor old knees have a rest, while keeping my legs flexible. Edit: 62 years old and counting! 😊
No rearview mirrors?
Yes I do, on the left bar extension. Just can't see it in the video. Thanks for observing.
kenvitatoe CZcams E bike
Thanks for watching.
I love the hum of the tires I find it relaxing
Thanks for your comment. The tires do have a nice sing.
Nice ride and nice trails, my hips and knees are destroyed so ebiking is my saviour
Thanks for comment. "hips and knees," I hear ya!
I'm in the Twin Cities, 48 yrs old, considering the same bike. Thx for your video!
Thx for watching and comment. It encourages me to continue. The Aventure.2 is a great bike, enjoy!
Nice video
Thx, I enjoy making them.
Nice ride Bert. I will keep checking back for more!
Thanks for watching and for the comment. I post a new ride every Friday am.
Great information, nice ride, thanks
Glad you enjoyed.
I am awaiting the delivery of my first E-bike, a Velotric Discover 1, just months before I turn 80! I've used my Bridgestone 26" for 35 years, but swinging my leg over the horizontal bar has become more difficult. A step-through bike will make getting on & off much easier. Also, I need to ride in an upright posture to avoid neck, shoulder & back pain. Last month, I rode my Bridgestone 15 miles roundtrip on the Red Cedar River Trail, but with the humidity, I was tiring fast & barely made it home. With an E-bike, I can let it help me home.
Understand. Thanks for viewing and comment.
That’s a nice bike
Thanks. It's a Avanton Aventure, 26" Fat Tire.
Way to go Burt! Enjoy the ride
Thanks for your comment.
I’m 72 and considering my first e-bike, I still ride a normal bike but I’m thinking that a e-bike will increase my interest. Thanks for the videos, cheers from Australia.😊
My next video will have some ebike pointers for seniors
To answer your question about the Harley picture you showed, That looks to be a 45 in. Flathead. Most likely a WLA model, this is a civilian version of the one the Army used in WWII.
I wish. Always wanted a FXRS. Love the cruers.
MN has some of most courteous drivers and riders around 😊 Thanks for the ride
Thank you for the comment.
Another enjoyable ride Bert! Limited here in the UK to 250w Too strict in my opinion!👊
It is! You’re going super slow and it’s not fun
Yea, does sound a little light. Thanks for the comment.
@@ebikebert yup! I’m very excited to tell you I’m getting a brand new ebike tomorrow
Great, have fun and be safe.
Riding up to 85 kph with my Taverun Supreme Fighter Ultra . But I seldom go that fast . Actually I enjoy riding slow to look around and it is much safer especially with racing cyclist all around and Jay walkers with dogs. I am 66. Good luck riding . Stay safe.
As you can see, My rides are like yours. I don't ride at mach 9 with my hair on fired (don't have any). Thanks for the comment.
I can hardly walk even with a framme due to severe knee arthritis. My e bike has transformed my mobility even without a throttle (not legal here in U.K.).
Sorry to hear about your knee. I know what that's all about. I use the throttle a lot, especially to get started. Thank you for your comment.
Love it Bert!
Thank you. Loving doing the rides.
Disappointing at 78 I'm still not a Super Senior. Seems I've been too young my entire life, and still trying to catch up with the big boys. Story of my life. Oh yeah, my message is, I can't walk, but I can sure ride. If considering an ebike? Do it, and ride safe!
You're close enough. Seems I was young a long time ago and for a very short time. Thanks for your thots.
Looks a good trail, you are having better weather than here in N Wales U K.
Thanks for the comment. Good weather you take when it comes. Almost every state has bike trails. I have several just across the street.
I am 70 and I have put 1400 miles on my e-bike in the last 4 years and I plan on putting a lot more miles on it! I always pedal as much as I can to get my heart rate up. I also carry pepper spray and my sidearm we have open carry in my state so that’s what I do.Enjoyed your video.😊
Good to hear! I see why you are called "Sheepdog," love it!
Great to see a man of 80 getting out on his own and keeping an interest in technology. Many people just sit around and give up. Good for you 👍.
Thanks for the comment. You are encouraging. That's what I am trying to do for other Seniors and Super Seniors.
Good to find your site. I too am a super senior 84 yo and will pickup my Averton 2 ebike. I got the step thru. Looking forward to getting back on a bike. I live in Arizona so I have year around riding. Enjoyed your post.
Thank you for watching and commenting. Enjoy your new ebike.
Yes, e-bikes changed the life of seniors especially. I’m 76 yr of age, 6’1” tall and biked all my life, but since I got on e-bike rediscover the pedaling pleasure again. Major thing in picking the right e-bike for seniors is to find the maximum lighter foldable and step-through. Emphasizing on less weight e-bike as a crucial spec, since I gradually went from step-over to step-thru and foldable. But the latest one my puck instead of 65 lbs with battery dropped to 59 lbs gross weight and with easy removable battery integrated inside the frame securely even lighter (51.4lbs). Using a plastic container to place the foldable e-bike and then continuing without lifting sliding the tote to the trunk by using car dog foldable ramp. Not the most fat tires, neither the power or speed is so important for seniors than to be able independently to fold-unfold and easy store and transport. That’s why my latest pick, also below $1K is not only lighter, but 20”x3” tires, better maneuverability and in the same time all terrain, more compact size and upright less pains pedaling. Also the lighter & more compact e-bike is easier to pedal without electrical assist. Hope this info will be helpful not only for seniors but for all bikers that are looking for affordable, safe and in the same time quality components e-bikes. Happy pedaling and enjoying the closeness and accessibility of mother nature.
Thanks for your info, it is right on.
Love your videos, Minnesota is a very nice place to ride, except in the winter…😊 Thanks!
Thank you so much for your support. When I was a lot younger I rode in 0 temps, not now.
75 and love my ebike! Will follow your vids my senior friend!👌🇬🇧
Appreciate that!
Great information, thanks
Thanks, these are things we learn by doing and research.
I think Ebikes are stressing seniors out .even myself in my 50s
If I get to that point and cannot change the stress point I will stop ebiking. Thanks for the input.
Good advice Bert😊
Always good to hear from fellow viewers.
Safety first Burt
Always. Next video we'll cover security.
Cool stuff! Stay safe man.
Thank you. The next video will review safety and cover security.
I just moved to Minneapolis this spring, and I discovered a love for taking the e-bike around Lake Harriet, Bde Maka Ska, and Lake of the Isles, but Harriet is for sure my favorite. Something about all the trees and the skyline in the distance and the way the sunlight hits the water while planes fly overhead.
Thank you for your comment!
Nice ride, Bert! Thanks.
Thank you!
Another smooth ride😊
Thanks ✌️
nice vid
Thank you!
