Just bought this bike today & pick it up at my LBS on Friday. I wanted a certain color and to make sure that I and they had time to really dial it in... besides the fact that the weather will be epic next weekend (mid-80s after rain and snow today) w/ perfect trails in Nevada City, Auburn and Folsom Lake.
Love it. Got my wife the trek rail e-bike. Now we mtb the same trails. Never look back
I am going to need some water and a rest after watching this.
For 6k I would get a dirt bike and burn some dinosaurs.
Happy New Bike Day! That's a real sweet Cannondale. Another great aspect of EBikes is the ability to self-shuttle at DH parks and jump trails.
Yep
Absolutely amazing bike.
I have a Haibike Nduro with Yamaha motor & 180 mm travel. It is a dream to ride and will climb anything! Worth every penny!
I love new bike day. Hope to get a Surly Krampus soon!
Always learning on this channel. I did n o t know there is a 'new bike' day.
Lovely bike, im glad i got mine, the first things to go were the brake pads for some uberbrakes pads and next the forks for some either marozcchi z1 coil oils or fox r8...
Beautiful bike!
Would be cool if they could figure out a way to have it regen the batteries on a downhill coast, sort of how the Prius can when slowing down or breaking or however it works. Otherwise that's a cool bike. Bit pricey for me! But I like the assist instead of the full "don't have to pedal" eBikes. Cannondale rocks! But...I'm a Specialized guy and have been for over 20 years.
Very cool, congrats!
As I understood it the first E-mountain bikes were for going down ski hills in the summer, basically assisting you to go up the ski hill so you can go down it?
I have the same bike the Melbourne Australia. Great bike!!!
Try the Moterra on some singletrack. That’s what it’s designed for.
I know this is an old review, but I'm dreaming of ebikes! This is a great review. I only rented twice, a giant stance-2, but I'd say it's comparable. But they are badass, and by no means are you kicking back on these--i got up to half of a hill I'd never go up normally, and when I went to get off (too steep!), My leg gave out from exhaustion...but I didn't expect it... that's how cool it is, your adrenaline takes over and it's non-stop fun! Now, my dilemma is if I get one, it will be the end of my current non e mtb. It's a canondale from mid 90s and I do love it. Thanks!
Awesome review! Can I get links or exact info on your upgraded parts? Buying a Neo 4 and would like to research adding the same upgrades to mine
I was looking at getting ebikes for me and my wife. Specifically Giant or Specialized because our local bike shop sells those two brands. I held off because winter is just around the corner and I'm so glad I waited. This week the bike shop announced it's going out of business. They struggled through the pandemic shut down last Spring and now threats of another shut down in our area (New York State) was more than they wanted to deal with a second time. I would have spent quite a bit of money and had nowhere to get them serviced/repaired if needed.
That's unfortunate. Most bike shops were thriving because of the pandemic. The ones that struggled tended to not have enough inventory to ride through. Sad to hear though.
How did you get such a nice stack of spacers under the stem (ie long tube)? I go look at bikes and with seat in appropriate extension I'm leaning over because there's only one or two spacers. Really annoying. did you swap out fork? (I realize 2020 vs 2024)
JD, love this content. Please do a video of why you choose to ride mountain bikes instead of dirt bikes. I’ve wondered why folks choose one over the other, since they both can cost the same once you get the higher end mountain bikes. Thanks!
I'll try to put something together
I know this an old thread but how is your Neo 3 holding up? I'm considering the $4500 Cannondale Neo 5 at REI where I live so they can service it when in need. Thanks for the review BTW!
Great vid. You are riding the future there. Camera quality is excellent - do you have anything on what camera gear you are using?
The bike view cam was a GoPro Hero9
I'm looking to buy the same bike. What size did you get and how tall are you? Do you still have the bike? TI noticed that you had a velcro strap around your battery. Is this to keep the battery from popping out while riding? Are the batteries prone to popping out while riding over rough terrain? Thanks for the video.
That seat looks comfortable
Saddle sucks. Being replaced with a WTB Pure
I always laugh when people comment about how others spend their money.
I know right, like some people pay millions for shiny rocks.
Go go gadget, go!
You have installed a trailer tongue bike rack on an R-pod, what was its name?
Since I know nothing about e-bikes, I’ll ask what might be a dumb question. Does/can the motor act as a generator when going downhill ? Kind of like a hybrid car? Too rich for me but the ebike does make sense for long distant riding. With that heavy of a bike , it would be very bad to run out of battery before your ride is over.
No, unfortunately it does not charge unless plugged in
@@BigTruckBigRV guess you can’t run the Beacon off of it, then.
Im 2 seconds in and need to tell you to never lay a bike down on the drive side !
It'll be fine my friend
@@BigTruckBigRV lol. But your a very detail oriented person, just thought you'd like to learn something .
Your definition of hills and chilly are quite amusing. Come mountain biking with me ... in Colorado ... in January.
Been there! Ridden both in Salida and Aspen. In Texas, you ride what you have. I've also ridden outside of Phoenix, Jackson Wyoming, Bozeman, Montana, and Washington.
@@BigTruckBigRV If you come out to Northern CA, let me know... specifically gold country (Auburn, Nevada City, Placerville, etc). Great trails out here!
I am going to ride some in Colorado- and some in flat land OKC like around a lake 10 mile loop? Am I insane to buy this e bike to do both? I don't want to buy 2 ebikes
It a great bike for that, especially if you want the ability to hit harder stuff as well.
Is this street legal? and also top speed for throttle only? I know I know, I don't intend on using it for mountain biking, forgive me. But I do want to just have a low profile mountain bike that I can just use 100% throttle to zip around at all times. Short commutes, rail trails, practical riding..thoughts?
Yes it is street legal
Is it powered with bosch performance line cx gen 4?
Yes
New bike lying with the cassette on the ground….always lay it down the other side!
It will be ok my friend.
Take a shot everytime he says "new bike day"
I'll be too drunk to ride the bike then.
Nice 👍, so you are one of those who ride on the side walk and runs stop sign. 😂😂😂😂
Only Roadies follow the rules! MTBs ride over them......yeah, that sounded dumb. :)
@@BigTruckBigRV MTB is the only way, friends don’t let friend ride road bike.😂😂😂
Where in San Antonio is this?
The RIM near La Cantera
@@BigTruckBigRV awesome! I had gotten stationed here last year and have been looking for spots like that
Hi
model 182
$6,000?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I like how the people say $6000 is way too much money to spend on a bicycle. I say to them don’t count other peoples money.
meh. biking in winter is still cold whether or not you're pedalling. for 6k I could buy a used leaf that goes farther, keeps me warm, and would allow me to be less likely to die. thanks for sharing tho. neat bike
Well, less likely to die from traveling but more likely to die from Heart Disease.....which kills more people than traffic and biking accidents combined. Just saying
@@BigTruckBigRV haha. true
$6K?!?!?!
I’m not rich enough to even think about spending that kind of money on a bike.
It's a strange obsession for sure.
So it’s a moped.
but one that requires pedaling
6 grand to much Walmart bike does the same thing
Walmart bike might do the same thing 1 or 2 times (maybe).... The 3rd time it will kill you when the stem comes loose or strips, the crank fails, the derailleur breaks or bends and the wheels fold while on a cliff. I have owned many Walmart bike growing up and I would never trust one going 25mph consistently.
Why on earth would anyone spend $6000+ a bike or e-bike?
It's hard to explain unless your into cycling.
Totally agree with that comment. I'm only gonna live once and plan on doing whatever the hell makes me happy. Just bought the same bike too in San Antonio
Why not?
