Why you use a cruiser and not an E-Mountainbike like Haibike or An Ebike from Canyon?
Beaks 1312 - Maybe you watch whole video before you ask question, boyo.
Those are awesome!!!... Wish I could afford one atm.
Cody, thanks for the "full transparency" announcement. It felt a little like an infomercial, but after your statement it suddenly felt like a buddy telling me about a great score.
PS, after a few years absent, I'm back and amazed at how your production and editing has improved. Much Respect!
@@rollingthunder915 i did boyo
The designer nailed combining the Schwinn "Sting-Ray" and the Honda "Mini-Trail" & "Trail-50" aesthetically. Very smart. Very cool machines too, definitely _would_ ride one.
Totally in agreement with you there. Seen one in costco today for just over £1000 Inc vat so not bad. Looks soooooo good.
@@grantwedgbrow9997 1000$ naaaa lol this 2600$
When Cody was riding down the road all I could think was how much it looked like a “The Dead South” music video 😂
I was thinking of a scene from The Walking Dead.
What was the music from 8:31
3:05 you left the kickstand down
3:08 it popped up! 😄
@@naui2 Lucky that it did. Big problem with leaving those rear wheel kickstands down is if you do catch the ground in a turn is that they throw the rear end really hard. A hit that might pucker your sphincter as your bike stands up with a central mounted stand will have you chewing the dirt after spinning you side on to your direction of travel.
What was funny was he was just spruiking the quality of the components. The motor, the battery, the derailleurs.... but couldn't spend an extra 50c on a quality kickstand spring... :)
I think you're right about electric motorcycles. there are two things holding back electric vehicles. The infrastructure (gas station replacements) and range. For electric bikes, especially like you're describing, range is the only issue. Once you can do a full day of riding on one, they'll start to take off.
Lithium batteries are a game changer you can do a full day on one I bet
Always considered buying an EB, especially stealth or vector storm!
About a year ago I assembled my own ebike with a china motor and china ESC and built my own battery pack out of old salvaged laptop cells. Eventually I got some cells from a chevy volt. Ebikes are super fun, anyone who hasn't tried one should ride one. I started meeting a lot more of my neighbors and making more local friends and connections after I built the bike, I think they are a great tool and a great toy!
“Let’s see if we can get some good speed up” ( proceeds to go like 5 miles an hour looking at the drone?)
A know ha what drugs is he on
🤣🤣🤣 classic!
A power wheel goes faster
The user manual requires a helmet only for those under 22 Rogans?
I like the dual motor setup but the low seat height makes peddling difficult because your knees are bent so sharply. If seat height was adjustable that would make a huge difference.
OhioPreparedness I was thinking the same thing but then again he is somewhere around 6 1/2 foot tall. Lol he needs a booster seat just like sweetloaf.
The non adjustable seat is a no go for me. Useless. No way to put a bucket or basket on it also. Much better and cheaper alternatives out there now.
Love comfy seat, 2WD, lights, awesome 😎 only issue to me is not being able to extend my 6 foot frame while pedaling as I can on my Mate e-bike
Great video. Would love to see more about these bikes! And the trailer set up.
I’d love to have one, just don’t know how to fix it if it breaks and there isn’t any shops that do electric bike work YET!
Would love to see a video on the trailer and how you hook it up. Yes I believe this is the future of biking. At 64 I am researching electric bikes, just cannot lock on which one to get. Will give this one a second look. Thanks for the insight on this one.
I recently electrified a cargo bike and the whole neighborhood enjoys it. It's quite true that these bikes are smile making machines!
Bafang?
No mudguards over the tyres. It's going to get a bit messy in the winter time or if water gets onto the battery connections when it's raining. Also, riding on a sandy beach is not a good idea. Sand inside bearings/electric motors is a killer !
He mentioned in the video lol, they come with it but he decided not to put them on it
does this system have ability to adjust the setting by the consumer? And does it have regenerative braking capacity our of the box?
You had me at, "components made in Japan rather than China". That was almost enough in itself to make me want it, but it does look great and a lot of intelligent thinking went into making it right.
I have an e-bike. I can sustain 30mph on my bike, been over 35 on it. Also crashed and injured myself severely while riding it. 1 month on my back and another on crutches, my leg will never be the same. Safety first, turn the speed down and wear your PPE. Not a toy for sure.
"Throttle over-ride on left, just like you'd have on a motorcycle"? What does that mean? Every motorcycle I've ever ridden had the throttle on the right. Can you get a throttle on the right?
Thinking the same thing.
Some countries across the pond have the throttle on the left...maybe he meant those?
@@gregorythomas333 Here in the US it is standard for right hand throttle. May be not a major thing but interchanging from this bike to a motorcycle and back again could result in choosing the wrong handle in a critical situation.
@@gregorythomas333 I have never seen a left side throttle, what brands?
My friend had a high-performance Ducati and all the controls were mirror-image to typical American motorcycles. I never dared riding it.
Honestly battery powered equipment is getting quite powerful. I got the ego weed trimmer and it blew me away how well it works, I ended up getting the lawn mower and blower also. They work amazing if not better then gas.
Fixed seat position is far too low for peddle only power, not that anyone would buy this to peddle around.
Real Nice! The 2WD set up is awesome. I have a huge hill to go up coming back home. Been looking into these. I liked the Super 73. But 2WD is more appealing :)
Plus, the space in the frame lends itself to another battery, which could double the range. Great Vid!
I recently purchased two new Super 73's. Mostly because its a Veteran owned USA designed bike company. I love the bikes for all the same reasons you do however my 73's struggle going up steep hills so I might look into selling mine in exchange for the dual wheel drive systems.
It will have problem climbing hills as super 73 uses cheap parts. I tested few when I was looking to buy one. They use some cheap chinese motor named Hengtian with no gears. They have good marketing but can't say the same for their e-bikes.
Excellent and timely.
I ordered a Lectric XP folding e-bike, 20”x4” fat tires. Also a class 3 (ships as class 2, but can be bumped to class 3). That is, maximum speed is 28mph. I like the idea of two hub motors. Your frame looks a lot friendlier to the typical locks folks buy for bikes. Hope you have a few good ones. My bike is scheduled to arrive next week (darn it it’s a long weekend!). I was fortunate enough to get mine for $900 w/saddle bags (panniers). Mechanical disc brakes though. Like your headlight. Hate our little puny bell. I will be getting a light, a better horn, a disk brake lock (or 2), along with my Liteloks that I already bought. I caved for a mountain bike style helmet. At 25+mph, I figured I’d be prepared for that other guy causing my demise.
As far as “real” mountain bikes go (silently through the night) - eventually I’ll get me a Zero FX-S dual battery street legal enduro style motorcycle. I hope.
This looks great! I am visually impaired and have never been able to drive. I tried a motor scooter a number of years ago but didn’t feel comfortable. I think this would really help me get out and around more.
Love the music and the drone follow shots in this video-Bravo!
That derailleur is very bad. If a e bike costs that much it should come with something better. That derailleur is 10$ and is often on cheap Walmart bikes
the bike has two "Dapu" motors not Bafang,who care what derailleur they use its a cheap part to upgrade.
elevenAD true but he said it had nice components compared to the other brands, and that’s bottom of the line shimano
PaulKingIII ya. That is the worst one they make. At least they could have put a tourney deralier on it. It's not great but it's better
Hello, is it possible to get a list of accessories you have on the hitch of your sprinter van? Is it a swing away hitch, what about the external storage containers and the bike rack? thanks for any info. Lach
I've seen this bike with the throttle on the right. It was just assembled incorrectly. No biggie.
Poor little Heartracer needs some leg extensions. :)
Hahaha
Please answer this question for me please.
What is the top speed?
If the top speed is limited can you remove the limiter?
I just want one of these bikes that can do a solid 35 MPH.
Very Nice! Thanks for sharing. I built my own a few years ago using a Mountain Bike Frame as a base. Flat out it goes 60 KM/H (~37MPH)! I love it! and is so quiet and environmentally friendly. When I lived in the city, I used it about 90% of the time to get to work, even to make quick trips to the store. It was faster than taking a car (due to high volume of traffic). I really don't know why most city dwellers do not use these.
Cody I don't comment on your videos much,
But what a beautiful part of the world you live in
I could feel the vast open space just from you riding
down the road and the views are breath taking 👍🏼
with 2 motors and computer control you could do regenerative breaking right?
Paul Labossiere I doubt it. The hubs would have to freewheel, otherwise the unused hub would create drag when riding in single wheel drive mode. The amount of energy you get back is barely worth it in any case, since it’s limited by the battery’s safe charging rate - typically way lower than the discharge rate.
@@jackdallwitz5086 the computer couldn't prevent overcharging when the battery is full by switching to the disc brakes and disconnect it altogether in 1 wheel mode?
@@paullabossiere5239 Probably, but wrangling speed controller firmware is well beyond me. The limiting factor is the rate of charge, not total capacity - lithium batteries can typically be discharged way faster than they can be charged. I've wondered about using regen braking to charge capacitors to get around this, but again, the electrical engineering it would require is beyond me. Also, you need to be running direct drive motors, which this bike doesn't appear to.
There's a good overview of why most ebikes don't use regen braking here: czcams.com/video/k4Oe4hv4QpI/video.html
This E-bike looks awesome, I like the dual motor concept. I wonder what the max rider weight limit is, couldn't find that on the website - however, they do mention two passengers riding on it.
How does it do going up hill?
Does the batteries overheat under stress?
How long does it take to fully charge?
They pull strong uphill, never had an overheating issue. 4-5 hour charge,
3:05 Riding with the kickstand down. Good way to crash. lol
@@deanbrickland Yeah, it hit a plank at the end of the bridge and luckily folded back up instead of flipping the bike.
If you want to get back into cycling ebikes rock. Bought mine two years ago and use it heaps, just a cheap Chinese kit on a mountain bike, it's on charge right now. I love it. $650 USD including bike, discs, shimano gears.
The all drive bike here looks very good, perfect for on the tracks.
I had one pass me at over 40mph. Must've been modified as I believe they're limited to 14mph here in the UK. Anything over that and it's considered a motorbike and incurs the related licence and insurance I think.
(I bought a road one about 5 years ago. It was ok but way too heavy to ride without battery power. I'm sure they've improved a lot since)
15.5 mph is the limit in the UK. There is a higher class of pedelec, but they are effectively mopeds. I've seen a few pedelecs that have been modified illegally, or are just plain illegal - they often seem to have a throttle that only has two positions, on or off. I see people riding them, accelerating into corners.
Thanks for the video. I unfortunately bought super 73 before watching this video and I regret a lot. After 2 weeks of ride I am faced with endless problems with my super 73 and now I can't even ride it and thanks to their awesome warranty they don't cover anything. I am looking to buy one of those when I arrange my funds.
What was your problem. And what do you mean by the warranty issues. I am looking to buy a super 73 or this one. What is your feedback.
I'm wondering how they figured out the all wheel drive function. I remember watching pawn stars where the guy from ricks restorations redid a old offroad motorcycle that had these outrageously huge tires on it that could cause it to float so you could for instance "carry" it across a river, and each time you turn the handlebars it would disengage the front wheel drive mechanism. They stated that the reason for this is that anytime you turn the handlebars it causes the front and rear wheel to rotate at different speeds and it is a matter of physics with any bicycle or motorcycle.
I'm used to US Bike setups which have the Throttle on the Right, can these be setup that way?
Thanks for showing this off, seems very nice...
cody: today i will take my dog for a run.
dog: "chasing cody on his bike.
also dog: "1 hour later" i hate humans!!!! "laying half dead on the floor XD
Also, I should say that when you pedal, your leg should extend all the way down to the bottom of the pedal (bottom position of the pedal) otherwise the seat is set too low.
This is great! I love the outdoors but I'm getting my second knee replacement in 2 weeks. Sounds like this would be perfect for me. Would love to see the trailer, I didn't see that as an option on the website.
super extreme David Piacenza Thanks! Geez you’ve been through it. My right should is sketchy and I have a feeling I’m not done with the replacements yet. I have a great ortho. As long as he doesn’t retire ☺️
Im looking at something like your D class bike, but for riding in sandy washes and up pretty steep dirt and rocky hills in the desert. What watt electric motor would you recommend for this type of terrain? Thanks...
Your transparency is like a breath of fresh air. Thanks for sharing, Cody!
Thanks for reviewing, I've always wanted one these bikes.
Great video! I put the website in my favorites. I got a little PTSD when you rode past saying it is fun to ride then little Heart Racer goes running by trying to keep up. I swear when I was pre-ten years old my friends would buzz me on their banana seat racers yelling how much fun it was so I would grab a stick and take off running like I was riding a stick bike. Poor Heart Racer, I know your pain, LOL. The music choice for the road trip was perfect. I will let them know I leaned about the bikes from you. Thanks for another great video lesson. God Bless y’all from down here in Texas.
If the seat isn’t adjustable, peddling would be very uncomfortable and bad for your knees.
Sally Kerr stand up
That reminds me of my old Raleigh chopper from the 60s. And with arthritis in my knees now that looks like a real winner.
These look great, but living in rural Maine, I need at least a 75 mile range to get to and from the nearest town that has the businesses I need for shopping, etc. I wonder if Ariel has plans for a longer range battery pack in the future. With battery technology rapidly advancing, I’d guess more powerful yet lighter batteries are coming.
kenneth copp I have a zugo bike. It looks very similar and it has optional 90 miles range. zugobike.com
I haven’t driven a car in near on 15 years now and I’m starting to really want one of these ebikes for a daily commuter to get to work. I’m getting older and to be quite honest, tired of being sweaty when I get to my office.
Thanks for the review!
get an E-Bike, you will love it,i commute everyday.
anyone else notice that the kick stand was still down at the 3:04 mark?
He puts it up after crossing the bridge
@@geraldthomas5915 but you normally put it up right after getting on the bike and/or before moving.
Van Duh you think I don’t know that 😆. Just wondered if those who noticed it was down noticed he put it up
Love the new electric tech they're pushing out into the market nowadays. I recently got an electric skateboard and it's always brought a smile to my face. :^)
Need an adjustable seat, your knees are in your face, the standard is your leg should extend all the way on the bottom of your pedal stroke, I think the mfg can option to remove the derailment system & the chain for city bikes & included them for off road application. Good stuff, thanks, Shalom!
very cool but i would be more comfortable with the throttle on the right side like my dirt bikes.
Maybe there is a way to switch it (right side controls go to the left and left side controls to the right)
Tubeless capable? Can you lower pressures a bit for off-road and beaches (
Darien Newman
If you were listening.....he said yes! I hope your reading is better then your hearing. Lol
@@luckyduckimona9787 Well I was listening, but missed that. It happens. The tires looked a little over-inflated on the off-road stuff.
They look good fun, I'd like one. Cheers for your honesty
You could have got a Rad Rover for $1400 it is adult size with 26" x 4" tires. Larger tire diameter gives a smother ride. Not 2 wheel drive but that is not really necessary. That extra motor just runs the batt down faster.
Wheel diameter might be the caveat for some considering their selections - whether electric or gas-powered - as it is, at least in my locale, the determining factor for taxation and licensure / registration versus something that isn't.
Just ordered the Ariel D Class, what e
bike rack do you use?
What’s faster? The heartracer or the E-Bike?
They almost look like the old Chopper bikes from uk
The Raleigh Chopper with the small front wheel? Mine was blue!
@@pauletheridge2412 That's the one!! Great bikes! lol
also does this system have cruise control capability? I have grown to rely and enjoy cruise control. It is an easy thing to include on electric bicycle systems.
The seating position looks too short to actually pedal, just like my DYU D3 (single speed). But it's a e scooter before a cycle bike. The multiple gear shown, is not necessary, in my opinion. Just a standard drive just for the legal loop hole.
I have a knock off version of the dyu but without the pedals, so it's just a scooter. I paid just over $250 for it and for the price I think it's one of the best on the market for anyone in a city setting. What'd you pay for the d3?
Interesting that you have your bike rack on the back of a cargo van. I am thinking of getting rid of our Honda Odyssey minivan and getting more of a cargo van for our business. So I guess we could use a cargo van for carrying our bikes. Nice bikes. I love that they are 2 wheel drive.
These would take some getting used to for me. Always had manual mountain bikes and rode them up hill so much that it just became a thing. Now I can inject a few electrons and launch up a hill?
I rode an E bike two day ago for the first time in my life.These things are the future.With the fast evolution of electric motors and lithium technology they are about to become the real deal and some gimmic.
For $2000 should be assembled in USA
David Reeves I think that should be included for $2000 you can buy them at made-in-China.com perhaps cheaper if you assemble them yourself
It’s a Japanese product because Americans don’t make stuff like this.
$2400 for the nice one with suspension and higher capacity battery....... I agree. For what it is MAYBE $1200 - $1300. But $2000? Nope. That's a nice used dual sport/adventure bike that I can take the wife on a week long adventure with!
American workers are lazy and in competent compared to hard working chinese
@@hassanmian8987 lol they work for tenth the wage all the world works! doesnt mean we work bad, just means they are underpaid as f£&_ so production there means mucho $$ for company! You can just imagine how quality work they do there!
Good video I just ordered the X-class series!! One motor but I hardly ever go off road!! So I’m sure it will be just fine??
As many have already pointed out the throttle is on the wrong side and this is a deal-breaker for me. Not because I couldn't learn how to use a left-hand throttle but because it shows the designer either wasn't aware of the sort of "standard" that exists for throttle placement or was aware and chose to go non-standard anyway for some unknown reason - even worse.
It makes me wonder what other design decisions are non-standard or poorly thought-out; perhaps the designer routed the brake lines without knowing the standard way, used undersized hardware, ignored the standard for bushings or washers. There's no way of knowing but the non-standard throttle placement is a red flag.
check out courts review,the original design had the throttle on the correct side,maybe a factory mistake?
You're so truthful and genuine, mate. Blesses from the UK.
Broke my leg last summer, couldn't fit my feet to pedals at the car so I bought a similar with 20"x4" thou a cheaper version, best purchase ever. So easy to go with kid in the carriage van, doesn't matter if it is windy here in the coast or some longer trip that I would normally use a car. I save like 25bucks per week when I use it instead driving to work with car.
how many watts is each motor?
What are ‘mineral hydraulic brakes’? Like mineral based hydraulic oil?
At 9:50 i thought a rabbit was chasing him at first. Lol
Aurtisan Miner brakes with oil pushing pistons
There’ll be plenty of time for e-biking, when you’re parking your van DOWN BY THE RIVER!
Jason Hammang
It needs more COWBELL !!!
that bike also has "walk assist" mode. If you didn't know.
What’s that ??
@@rolandroland1485 it will move at walking pace as you walk next to it. So you dont have to push it, just guide it.
Hey dude, the throttle on motorcycles is on the right!
How would he know,,,, Ha ha
Hey dude, on a bicycle, the right side is reserved for the rear shifter!
Better for me as i only have my left arm.
@@ronaldphillips311 so the only arm you have left is your left?
@@CrypidLore That`s correct.
Sorry if you already answered this...
What brand double bike rack is that?
Was that jack flying the drone? He done a damn good job 👍
No, I was flying it by myself,
Josh Mackintosh To clarify, since Cody is a busy man:
I believe the drone has a setting where Cody can tell it to “Follow” him, so he was still controlling the drone, but was able to have it follow him for each drone shot.
Is this right Mr W?
The advance in things like this really give me the "fizz", lol
Very cool! Do you notice more battery drain using 2wd?
I like them because they're quiet. There's just something about being able to hear your surroundings..
Nice drone work with that bike riding shot Cody!
It’s be awesome and inspiring to see your skill improve
did you take it off any sweet jumps?
great minds
I would love to see how this bike rides on the bench! Please do a vid!
Being that it needs no registration or license to drive, is considered a bicycle, it can be used where a motorized bike can’t. Price will be the issue.
As a bicycle rider, the only down side I see is that when peddling, the seat is so low that decent 'power' efficiency of your legs (too short a distance) is not very good. It would be close to perfect if the seat height was adjustable. I realize that most won't "peddle" much, but I would, to conserve battery for longer distances.
It sounded like I was watching the Essential Craftsman! 😜
I personally think the super 73 is a nicer and better option, although I do like the 2 wheel drive
@@rwcrone it is between $200-$500 more, depending on model/where you buy it, and I personally just prefer the looks and style.
stone theres no way it's funner or faster than the d class. When you flip the switch from one motor to two, you can feel twice the acceleration and the front wheel peels out all cool
super 73 is not really a great bike,its a 500watt single speed bike,kinda lame,the D-Class is a 1500watt 7 speed bike,its in another league.
They look like so much fun they remind me of the 70's chopper push bikes. Iconic looks 👍
I believe you are referring to the famous “Taco” mini bike. I spent a lot of time riding them. They do look like one.
I wanna know if you still have the same ebike and a follow up if you still like it, reliability, anything new on the ebike. I need something other then Cov19 stuff!!!
The rear-wheel and 2-wheel drive would appear to otherwise tow a sled full of a successful hunt back to the truck quite well with the benefit of keeping hunting grounds quieter for hunters' efforts in the area if it weren't for particular seasons' extreme cold temperatutes in farther Northern / Southern latitudes or colder elevations -- keeping the lithium batteries from having their best, longest life for the application.... Maybe for all other climates, mount a scaled solar charger to the frame, throw on a secondary battery pack and a break-make SPDT/DPDT source switch that'll enable charging for the battery that's not currently in use?
Curious.... Any street, studded or paddle-tire no-flats with wheels that are quick-change/tool-less options? I don't see ABS being too far out for the braking systems on these.
What are the height requirements? Will it accommodate someone 6'3?
Will the battery charge back up while pedaling?
No, but it might get a slight charge when you use the brakes.
The more you talk the more I understand why you chose them.
They where free
@@travisfeltwater5664 haha exactly!
Reminds me of riding our Honda 90 when I was growing up in the mountains. 🙂 I need a trailer for my standard poodle. I don’t think she could keep up with us. Lol
Rain and any oil slicks on a 2-wheeler is deadly, gotta be super careful, I agree with that.
hey wranglestar, i am from the Netherlands, you know where you got your ''klompen'' (wood shoes) from. also we are the bike country as you may know it, kinda wondering if you ride also some regular bikes? what do you think about the trottle on the left hand?!
