    That’s a big ghost town

      It's the Capital city of Maine. Way less people than most of the other places I've traveled. All of Maine has less people than PB County Florida. It's why I moved here a decade ago.

    I just bought this bike with the upgraded control panel and headlight. Cant wait to get on it. Looks like so much fun. Love the way you ride it bro 👍

      It really is quite powerful. Throttle control has been my main learning need. Feeling comfortable on it after a few rides. Not a fan of the light or where the button for the horn is. I seem to hit it often accidentally. I just took it off.

      @@The360Forager i swapped the positions of the PAS controls and the headlight buttons and rotated the headlight/horn buttons down slightly so it was out of the way but still within reach if needed

      I moved the pas buttons all the way to the left past the gear selector. I use it way more. Seems my most comfortable spot for it. With the gearing being so high I dont use the left adjustment much. Thanks for watching and commenting 🙏

    Nice ride. The bike has been good to me. Just passed 14k miles. How is the mirror working for you? I started using a helmet mirror from the get go, don't think I can use a mirror on the bike anymore LOL

    • @The360Forager
      @The360Forager  Před měsícem +1

      14k that awesome. I'm only at around 350. Kinda saving it for my foraging season that hopefully will push the bike to its limit. I did go 40 miles on it yesterday even with the hills and on level 3 and 4 for all of it. Super impressed with it so far.
      As the mirror goes. Just toss it. I have a new mirror for it but I need to cut the end off the handlebar grip. Being on the end it should fix the issue with only seeing my shoulder. Thanks for watching and commenting 🙏

    are those numers km/h or mh ? was that only electric power ? or with pedal assist ?

    • @The360Forager
      @The360Forager  Před měsícem +1

      That was about all just throttle and in MPH. Its really a powerful beast.

    I've been looking to buy one of these. Probably going to pull the trigger next month. I like how you put the carbon fiber wrap on it. What exactly did you use for that? I wouldn't mind using some kind of similar camo wrap. If I get one I may also tape off and spray paint the rims black or army green.

      It really is a strong bike. The sensor on the pedal needs to be upgraded eventually.
      For the carbon wrap it was just one off of Amazon. It really doesn't like the extreme cold. Probably going to redo it once winter starts coming to an end. There is quite a few camo ones. There is also a blue version of the bike with blue wheels and letters

    Hi, how long can you ride on rear wheel only

    • @The360Forager
      @The360Forager  Před 3 měsíci +1

      Honestly I do not know.
      With it being just coming out of the frozen time. I have mostly used the throttle(both motors)
      I hope to make a good petal trip soon.(just rear motor)
      I'm sure well over 50 miles would be possible

    I own that exact same bike though my "winter" riding isn't the same as I live in florida

    • @The360Forager
      @The360Forager  Před 6 měsíci

      I grew up in South Florida. I bet this bike rips around on the flat ground great. It destroys these hills we have up here.

    What app is that on your phone to show your speed?

      Its the spedo that comes on the bike. I don't trust the phone holder for the phone. I keep that in my bag.

    whats your height ? i have seen that this bike has only one frame size, i wonder what its like for someone around 180 or 5.11

    • @The360Forager
      @The360Forager  Před 4 měsíci +1

      I'm about that. Just under 6 feet without shoes but I have shorter legs and a long torso. I'd say anyone under 5'8" would have a problem with the dismount. It's pretty big but with the power it has it doesn't feel it. Stops good.

      There was a lot of fluffy snow that day to push. Really couldn't open it up most of the time. Probably upgrading to larger tires would allow it to float more over the snow

      Thanks for the comment. I agree on both points. Working on it for the future.
