- My First Ride on my Motor Goat. LOVE IT. Speed Test. Range Test. Quality Review. Initial Impressions....Seat is Comfortable for this fat old 250+ pound man....Great Stopping Power in the Brakes....TOTAL Distance going Full Throttle for 85% of the Ride and UP and DOWN Steep Cecil County, Maryland Hills.....IMPRESSIVE. BOTTOM LINE----I LOVE the BIKE!

Total Distance at the end of video....of course you can watch the parts demonstrating the display is accurate; top speed; where I go up really steep hills--faster than my Roxy (who has a claimed 200NM); and, to the end. :) LAST 10 minutes of GOPRO video stopped recording sound....frustrating.......going to make another short video discussing my impressions in more detail and telling you what I like and don't like.

You’re over 400 subscribers. Awesome dude.👍 I actually lost over 20 subscribers last week. I don’t think they like the fact that I was returning the XPeak, little do they know. Yesterday it was decent out but I didn’t get a ride in all I did get a ride in but it was just a 10 mile ride and it was actually get a base line for the XPeak. Plus I cleaned my garage all new again.😂 that’s pretty impressive Bruce usually the dual motors climb better. Busy video morning. I watch Richard now you and I’ve got to get onto Wyoming Ryder.
Thank you my Friend! YES---I was surprised when i woke up to 401 Subs...so HONORED that people take time out of their lives to watch me! I lose some every now and then too...you did not need them..... I was so surprised about the hill.......and at like 38% battery. I love that bike.....so glad i bought it..... I am getting ready to go show houses.... Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
Bro, I love watching your video. Thank you very much, I will be receiving this kind of bike in a couple weeks.
Thank you for the kind words! You will love the bike. It actually is close to stealing my Love from my first bike...Roxanne. It is fast...easy to maneuver... and I am pushing towards 400 miles and it has gotten wet; muddy; bumps; drops; over logs; through the woods; hills; gravel; and....it is still without rattles and damage. Is it perfect...NO...nothing is perfect. Is it the best value 45+mph bike...YES. Thank you for Watching, Liking, Subscribing and Sharing!!
Nice run and nice bike, fun
Thank you my friend!
Great Job Bruce! I knew you would love that bike! . The longer seat on the Power Goat allows me to get further from the pedal s when i want too. Being shorter does have some advantages when pedaling my goat as well. It fits me perfectly lol.
Is the a lil too long? I was thinking of getting a slightly shorter one.
Yes----but----i told you....i did order a 60T and may order a 70T without the guard to try first.....
That’s so awesome about your knees ! I’m going to get a seat riser when they come out I’m sure.
Thank you! I am making one now...waiting on parts....but will also by the Riser when they are in....because the stock seat was surprisingly good! AND, Thank you for Watching, Liking, Subscribing and Commenting!!
Of course we are subbed! Awesome helmet!!!!
Ha ha ha ...thank you! Appreciated!!
Thanks for the vid. im 260lbs and am very interested is this bike. I plan on ordering with the 2 battery kit. Good vid🙂
Welcome! I love this bike. I just posted another range test...going slower for most of the ride and did 50 miles. Seat---was good. Bike---was good. YOU WILL LOVE the Bike! AND---2 batteries is 100% the way to go---the bike is faster and goes further. Thank you for Watching, Liking, Subscribing and Commenting! AND if you use my link to buy---Thank you for doing that!!
So glad I went with goat. I don't think any other bike in the price range can do what I actually need. Thanks for this vid. And the others. I ordered my new seat yesterday so it's ready for when the bike gets here 😊
Outstanding! Good for you and I agree. I am going to edit my first impression video and compare the GOAT to 4 other popular bikes and give my opinion why i think the value (if you want a fast bike) can not be beat....hopefully Wednesday. I just got back from showing houses and I am writing contracts now....multi-tasking while I wait for clients to sign. :) Send me a photo of the seat when you get it. Thank you again!
@@IMBruceECLECTIC will do. I'll be making videos too. I'll record a lot of rides and mods I do. I work for a custom sport bike company so I have access to super cool parts like tail lights and blinkers.
@@F.O.GFatOldGuy ...that's awesome! Do you have a Channel?
@@IMBruceECLECTIC not yet. I'll be doing everything on this profile though.
@@F.O.GFatOldGuy ...when you do...let me know and I will Subscribe. And if I miss any posts, because I am old and don't know how to fully operate social media, technology, CZcams....please let me know so I may watch.
Great Range for those kind of speeds!
I know...for me....I have a secret to reveal on my first impression video---hopefully will get it edited for Wednesday.....I weigh 260 lbs....doh.....
I read your post on ebike addicts page on Facebook, jumped on CZcams to subscribe.
Thank you! Appreciated!! I just posted a video I made 5 minutes ago from a 1 battery speed test I made about 30 minutes ago....45 mph...caught in snow and sleet storm....cool!! MY GOAT CAN RUN! Thank you again.
So cool ! It looks like a Marine Fighter jet! Stealth and Speed 🖤
True...Semper Fi!! Thank you!!!!
Great video! I love my Goat too. You should seriously think about wearing a DOT approved motorcycle helmet going over 40mph. I use a Hamrhead helmet when it's hot or a full face modular when it's cold while I'm riding mine.
Thank you! You are right....but I used to ride motorcycles with no helmet---when legal in MD....and the electric bike with a bike helmet kinda gives me the same freedom feeling. AND----I am on blood thinners-----if i have a serious crash...I will bleed out regardless of the helmet.....I am extra vigilant on the bike. Thank you for your concern...I appreciate it....AND i am going to GOOGLE your helmet and check it out! 😁🙏
Good job ⚡️⚡️
Thank you...appreciated!! AND, Thank you for Watching, Liking, Subscribing and Commenting!!
wowww... so you're 250lbs?? and you went 46?? im psyched.. can't wait to get this at 135lbs im gonna be rippin on this thing
You will RIP. I do have the 2 batteries which helps add a little speed. I have done over 55 down a small hill. You will LOVE your GOAT! I am approaching 500 Miles...still Love her and no issues with quality of build or components at this time. Thank you for Watching, Liking, Subscribing and Sharing. Monday video....you will see me do about 1 mile on a Mountain Biking Trail....which was a pain because it was so narrow in parts and created for real mountain bike riding...but we did it until i had enough... ha ha ha...
@@IMBruceECLECTIC awesome : ) yea i was quick to hit that subscribe button! hah,, I like the approach you take with more deep dives into the accessories, things like that.. and its refreshing to hear all the positive remarks about the bikes.. Goat has been under heavy scrutiny recently from folks online,, so knowing your bike has held up well for this long is reassuring., I bought 2 batteries as well for the PowerGoat v2 and i may even get a third one just to be able to rotate them more often., its important to have thorough video coverage like this for the community, so thank you for your efforts.. I'll be making a video too when mine gets here ( to silence the haters ) hah,, so hopefully in a week or two.. thanks again Bruce
@@toneohm ...🙏 Thank you! I am not fancy with my videos---but I am honest and try to discuss and show what the "average" person wants to see and know. AND, I admit the GOATS are not perfect...but for the money...."steal." AND....I don't think the average person could afford to build a "perfect" bike....even it was possible. When I used to do construction in the 1980s....the company I worked for built Million Dollar Custom Homes....AND every time when it was the done the owner would say..."we should have done that...." Most people grumbling on-line hate the wait and delays....but that is life with MOST bikes unless it is a "common" and "average" bike. I waited about 3 months...worth the wait. AND even more so since the Pandemic...AND delays happen in life..........Can't wait to see your videos!
@IMBruceECLECTIC as much as I love a color corrected 4k video, with fancy flashy editing, with slomo shots, well timed background music, and all that jazz.., means nothing without real substance.. real world use.. it's why movies suffer these days.. they look great but no story.. same thing with reviewers.. I'd rather see an honest video from a regular guy , fellow consumer.. than a well produced 'review' commercial lol.. so I hope to blend the best of both worlds : ) I'll see ya,, won't be long now! ✌️
@@toneohmyo bro I’m fascinated to see your performance on the goat ebike I finally hear someone my weight getting one. I’m eager to see if our weight class could hit 50mph on flat what’s your experience👀
Great Video! Thanks
Thank you! Appreciated!! I love that bike. Editing my detailed impressions and what I don't like...hoping to post Wednesday. Thank you again!!
Do you get the same voltage sag/break squealing as Wyoming? I wouldn't think the sag would be as much with dual batteries. Also are you running the new controller? Is it possible to put bar end mirrors on the bike.Waiting on my Power goat!
@@tonyholmes9024 ....no voltage sag until under 40% and then slight. It still did 47 mph..albeit downhill, when under 15% life and still did 30+mph at 5% life. No brakes squealing. YES..new controller. YES bar end mirrors....
@@IMBruceECLECTIC Cool! Thanks for the info
@@tonyholmes9024 ..Welcome!
Wow, the goat ebike is pretty impressive 💯💯
Thank you! I think so.....some people hate my use of that App for the speed....I actually did another long range test yesterday---flat ground mostly under 30 mph and did 50 miles. (i recreated the same route as my first CZcams video of 10/31/23) AND i determined that my display is off about 2 mph. You are the first to hear of that in these comments. :) working on editing the video now. Thank you for watching my Friend!
Did you use the Goat app to find a run of level ground? What was your top speed on level ground? Thanks!
I used the same stretch i tested Roxy on....it is within a few minutes of my house. I am surrounded by hills and the next closest flat is almost 30 minutes away. The "runway" i use is flat---just not overly long. My Relive App---which collects data and processes for saving (unlike my phone GPS or Waze) had me at 49.7 mph----with 2 batteries. GOING to re-run the test (maybe tomorrow) with 1 battery to compare. 2 batteries made it a little faster----just not sure how much.
I have one of these ordered! Decided on one of these and to give my dad the E-cells i was ordering
Your a good son. I hoped you used my link to save 5%. Thank you for Subscribing!! Keep making videos.
@@IMBruceECLECTIC I would have but ended up going through a dealership, will cover the advantages in a video coming soon
Goats were made for climbing!!! Even motor goats apparently.
Truth!
Awsome video. Keep em comming.. also dose your bike have the new controller and batteries
Thank you so much for the kind words! Yes..new controller. No..not Samsung batteries...but they are 17s....which is why they charge to 70 volts...and contributes to bike speed. Going to do a one battery only speed test this week on same stretch of road. AND...going to do another range test on mostly flat terrain and not going over 30 mph and I would not be surprised to see close to 60 miles of distance
@IMBruceECLECTIC awsome. Can wait for the review. Yes I woukd suspect around 60miles range if under 30mph. Love the enthusiasm. 🤟🤟
@@ericbevins3858 ...thank you! ...when i first started thinking of a fast bike....they were $4k+ .....when this popped onto my radar...after my initial research into the company and communicating with Bryson...it was worth the risk to buy...and now that I got it....well worth the money IF you want to go fast.
@IMBruceECLECTIC I completely agree. I've been riding these moped style ebikes for about 6 years now and at 5"7 I've always had no issues peddling. I've owned a super 73 and a another bike brand called RIZE and modle was the Blade and blade 2. I loved them so I know I'm gonna love this bike as its bettery in every single way from my previous ones that's why I ended up buying a second goat for my father and convinced a friend from work to order one aswell. I cannot wait to get mine and start putting on the km.
@@ericbevins3858 ...thats awesome! Enjoy the time with your father....! Family is most important! We don't live forever......
I've been watching your videos and I thank you. I have my motor goat v3 with 2 batteries coming in April and I'm very excited especially after watching this video. I'm an old man as well I'm 54 but I weigh 152lbs. In your opinion do you think I'll be able to hit 50mph? Also you said your Roxy has 200nm but the goat had performed better uphill. So what do you think the NM is for the v3?
Ha ha ha...you are a younger old man! You will fly on this bike at 152 lbs......yes...I think you will probably do more on flat ground. I was so surprised at that hill climb....my ROXY has torque.....I went up a 1.2 mile long hill 8% grade...in PAS 1..and pedaled ROXY up it in under 5 minutes. I am thinking my ROXY's torque really shines with pedaling. The advertisement is 120 NM----all I know is that it made it up that hill much faster. In the next few weeks, going to take Betty to the 8% hill for comparison. Congratulations on your upcoming bike! AND, Thank you for Watching, Liking, Subscribing and Commenting!!
Awsome video
Thank you so much! And Thank You for Watching, Liking, Subscribing and Commenting!
@@IMBruceECLECTIC I was on the fence for awhile about which bike to get, either the Lyric Graffiti X or the Motor Goat V3. Now unless something else comes out that’s insane I’m planning on getting the exact same bike you have. Same color and accessories. But I keep hearing about the constant updates, and it has kept me from pulling the trigger several times. I’m still waiting for Bryson to implement that new horn. I told him when I saw Maximum Charge beep the horn in his review, I thought my iPhones amber alert was going off and I wanted a manly, goat-worthy horn. He said he was looking into it and here we are. That’s what I like about Goat Power Bikes. They really listen to feedback and they make improvements quickly. It builds trust. I have a very good feeling about that company, one I haven’t had with any other. By the way, are you going to get the backrest and rear cargo rack? I wanted to know how difficult it would be to mount the bike with it on. I saw Wyoming rider mount his bike but he had a different model and it seemed to have more space.
@@VEGITAS4 ..thank you for Subscribing! I appreciate that!! The new bikes from April on will have the best updates. My bike has no rubbing issues with the front fork---i added the washers---but did not need to do that...I have about 3/16" clearance on each side...so I will probably will not get the 4" tire. BUT I will get most of the upgrades that are going to be offered...the horn---i agree with the sound. BUT--i have had about 3 close calls in almost 700 miles of riding (Roxy and Betty combined).....because i had to take evasive action and braking.....i NEVER had a chance to get on the horn. I have a loud aftermarket horn/alarm on Roxy and i carry an "air horn" in my front basket----NEVER enough time to use either. I have the "air horn" for self-defense from people and animals...you only need to distract for a few seconds to either escape or take necessary steps and an "air horn" is perfect for that. My advice...you can not go wrong with ordering now...you will get the updates AND if something else comes along---there is a good chance you will get that---for example... I got the updated controller and I ordered on 12/21/2023. The color on this bike is WOW looking. I am not buying the seat rest---because my bad knees---it will make it to hard to get on. AND---i also ordered a Graffiti X---I was one of the 20 lucky ones to get that bike for under $3,000.....BUT...I have been warned by my friends...I may never see it. HENCE, why i used a credit card. Check out my video on Ebike Warranties and Using a Credit Card to protect yourself. Of course, if you buy a GOAT---Please use my Link and Code to Save 10% on everything you Order. AND it will help the Channel---which is me. :) AND feel free to ask me any questions about anything. AND i am hoping to have a more detailed first impression video out this Wednesday. THANK YOU AGAIN!
@@IMBruceECLECTIC I weigh 300 now. I used to be 321 and I’m 5’11. How close do you think I will be able to get to the speed you get to? 35?37?
@@VEGITAS4 ....keep working on your weight...and you will be faster. I made a fat loss video about how i lost all of my weight....I needed help. 🙏 Weight matters on the bike. BUT----I think you will still hit 40+ mph.... And Thank you again for Subscribing!
Bruce I am about ready to buy a district moto. I don’t know if I can wait on the Goat!
That is an incredible Bike. Too much money for me. That bike is nice. If you were going to spend that kind of money.....buy a TOB. www.tobebikes.com And you can have it built anyway you want..... But the GOATs are coming
@@IMBruceECLECTIC
Yes I know they are and I don’t want to cancel my order on Bryson.
@@papap.8006 @papap.8006 ....the GOAT is the fastest bike for the money. I said that from day 1....and it had not changed.... if u want the most speed for your $$ stay the course!
I ordered the motor goat 3 in the original color on June 9th and today July 4th i got a fed-ex tracking number message, and a message from goat bikes that they are shipping and will be notified on the date to receive shipment. so 4 weeks or so isn't to long.
@@craigpreston1161 ..outstanding! That is fast. You will love it! Congratulations. If you have questions about putting together---watch my videos and you can ask me. Thank you for Watching, Liking, Subscribing and Sharing!!
How much range did you get in the end with both batteries?
Hello....Round 42 miles going up and down hills and 40+ mph for nearly all riding. Around 50 miles when I did mostly 28mph and last 10 miles were 40+ mph. I have done more range tests...on level ground not going over 25 mph.....80+ miles is probably possible...maybe even further. The motor sips battery juice under 25 mph...once you hit 35+ mph...it gulps battery juice. Thank you for Watching, Liking, Subscribing and Asking!
Go up a size on the front sprocket
YES----i am going to....surprisingly....I already ordered a 60T....may order a 70T without a guard to compare. Thank you!!
Curious about wheel size… maximum charge and another CZcamsr set the wheel size to 22.8
I measured the wheel with a plumb level and straight edge and the diameter was almost 23 15/16...i called it 23 7/8. SO I used the setting of 23.8. Before I did my speed run i did a mile or so in my neighborhood where there are no satellite obstructions to verify that my setting was correct. The display matched my phone GPS and when I used WAZE.
How tall are you and how much do you weigh? I’m 6’1” and 170 pounds and was wondering if this. Ike would fit me
I am 6' --260 lbs. and 32" inseam. The Bike will fit you....get the Riser (mine is coming in) to raise the seat if you want to pedal. I like to do some pedaling and I need 2 new knees so the seat riser is good for me. BUT....before I raised the seat with my homemade seat------I could pedal and minimal knee pain. The Riser is going to be "icing on the cake" for pedaling comfort. AND you will be faster than me..... It is a great bike...a "steal" for the money. I have the battery kit with blender which gives me some extra speed and great distance. I am getting ready to break 500 miles... today if I go on my ride. LOVE BETTY.

Thank you for Watching, Liking, Subscribing and asking Questions! Happy to answer any other questions you have!!!
Is Bryson making a seat lift or is that just you?
It will be an offered accessory for everyone. He thinks in less than a month it will be offered on the page. Including parts like brake pads. I will buy when it comes out to supplement the seat I am making. The original seat is comfortable for me...and if you have seen the seat i have on Roxy....you know I have a "picky" butt. I have a jumbo "wing" shaped YLG on Roxy. :)
If you could have one bike out of ANY and any cost which would u get?
I like that question....TOB...Hand-built...custom built near my house. In fact....I am working on saving money to get one. TOB...The Other Bike. @Drchopper8
Thank you for Watching, Liking, Subscribing and Asking a GREAT Question.
@tobebike
What is your average distance with 2 batteries.
Going a mix of fast and slow.....about 40 miles with about 50% battery life left. I think if someone was on flat terrain and kept speed at 25 or under...they could do around 100 miles. The bike sips electric until you go around 35+----and then it GULPS electric. Thank you for Watching, Liking, Subscribing, and Asking. I have over 1000 miles and know the bike....ask any questions you want. :)
How about a 0-30 run?
I should have done that...I may still do that...but over the past few days I added more weight...a front basket; rear rack and basket; and some other odds and ends. I still may do it....thank you for Watching, Liking, Subscribing and Asking!!
Top speed?
That was the top speed Relive recorded on flat ground. I have gone 55mph down a slight hill. Most of the time on Flat Ground I am around 45 mph...my weight; front basket with ET and Rear Basket add DRAG and weight.....
@@IMBruceECLECTIC gotcha thanks , I wanted to consider this bike as a second commuter - I travel 22 miles to work & 22 miles back , how much milage duo you get with dual battery ? & what's your charge time for both batteries ?
@@SolelyElectric ....the bike should do it....if I kept it under 30 mph----I would probably get close to 60 miles even with all of my hills. At 260 lb and a lot of hills and nearly all 35+mph I got 42 miles. At mostly 28 mph on flat terrain I got 50 miles....but the last 10 miles I did 35+ mph to kill the batteries. I think 65 miles is possible on flat terrain and 30 mph or less. It takes about 5 hours per battery. I have another charger for my other bike.....(other bike is 60 volt with 17s batteries and same plug)...so I charge 2 batteries the same time while on the bike.
So many videos where owners modify their bikes to be illegal by state law. Not wise. May be fun but also medical insurance can refuse to cover injuries sustained in wreck on illegal bike.
Hello there. Thank you for sharing. None of my bikes are modified. AND--no law makes them illegal....and may only limit where they are allowed to be ridden. My bikes are not limited by law anywhere in MD. AND no medical insurance company can deny coverage for injuries sustained on any bike---it is a public policy issue. YOUR auto insurance carrier can in certain circumstances refuse to cover the repair or replacement of your bike (assuming you had coverage) if modifications were done. Thank you again for Watching, Liking, Subscribing and Sharing!
Can I ride this on the road?
Sure you can. I have ridden past a lot of police officers....I waive---they waive. It has pedals. I just rode across the Hatem Bridge (Route 40 Bridge) where I live---you press a button to let drivers AND the Police know you are crossing on a bike. I went across almost as fast as the cars and no pedaling---the Police monitor you on video camera to make sure you are safe.....they waived when I finished. Thanks for Watching, Liking, Subscribing, AND asking!
