The bridge of terror thing. Yeah, when there's not enough room to get over, and you're going 10-15 mph below the flow of traffic, it's excruciating waiting for people to pass you. Especially when you have mirrors and you can see them slowly creeping up. People act like it's some super complex Jigsaw horror movie challenge.
Subscribed for your sense of humor.
That fact that you could get from the Bay Bridge to Telegraph & Bancroft without getting your bikes jacked is amazing🍻 Hey you passed right by blondie's and didn't stop for a slice🤷♂️
The Telegraph trip was unplanned, didn't even think about stopping! Kinda had a late start, will be doing this again though for sure.
Blondies is still there?? Nice
I told my kids about how we used to drive around and yell, Rick, Steve or Linda at people. They didn't get it until I did it with them in the car.
Hah yea, doesn't translate on paper, has to be performed in person
Treasure island Arghh me Chit heads 😄9:00 " i'm Just in really good shape" i bloody laughed me bollocks off 😂
That guy on the bike actually laughed too, he was a good sport
@@shootthechit Nice, always good 🍻 Your recent range test vid was pretty epic i gotta add, loved it, great video.
I grew up in Oakland and saw quite a few concerts at Berkeley Community and Zellerbach. I was a high school senior in '69 when a buddy and I cut classes to check out the People's Park demonstrations on Bloody Thursday and got caught up in a police sweep/mass arrest. I started at UC Berkeley that Fall and lived through the ROTC and Cambodian Incursion riots. I watched the 1970 draft lottery on TV in the Student Union with great apprehension.
Memorable times...
Those little brief conversations to people you obviously don't know are hilarious! Lol... you are plum crazy and I love it! Just subscribed!! My E-Cells 5 Star Dual battery arrives today!
What an unbelievably freaking cool trip! Absolutely impressive range.
You're that close to Oakland and didn't do a couple smash and grabs, missed opportunity.😅
More realistically we would have been smashed, and then our bikes grabbed lol
I’m amazed that you did this all on this bike of yours. I grew up in Montclair. Good times. Strongly considering this bike. Stopped at their booth at the Electric Expo last weekend. Was on my paper route when the earthquake happened. Had stopped at a friend’s at the moment of the earthquake and were high five each other during the quake lol.
Very cool video and I'm with that bike tour idea.Please keep us posted on that and be safe.
Awesome ride! I'm in Fresno and used to come up to San Fran before the craziness. ( Don't like getting human poo in my fat tire treads. ) I would not ride that route alone, but on a group ride with the formidable leader of the Chitheads, I'd feel a little safer!
Great ride along buddy, that area of Cali looks nothing like Compton or L.A. and I didn't see any groups or bunch of illegal aliens😂😢 oh my bad they're all here in New York City😢 MAGA 2024. You guy's look nothing like the Hells Angels from the 60's or 70's, u guy's are kinda cool and hip😂
1989 dad trivia...like it
That bus was an idiot lol. Love the videos ese! Cant wait till mine gets here!
My Dual Star should FINALLY be coming this week! So maybe I'll join one of your "ebike tours" once you get them going. 😆
Heck yea!! Take a tour of the Bay Area lol
Relive App....nice! Great job!!
Jeff is hanging out with Randy... but Nobody knows where Randy is! 😂😂😂
lol, they are both missing now
Battle of the Bay!!! My friend and I had just made it to the lot there at Candlestick when it hit. Took us a day 1/2 to get back home in Sacramento. Was a terrifying experience.
Oh man, did they give you guys refunds or were your tickets good for the replacement game? I have a coworker that was at the game as well. You must have had to take the golden gate bridge back?
Thanks for the memories.
Ive driven over that bridge a few times
in High school I took my friends from Hoopa to Bezerkly "comic" book shops [yup someones a nerd in this car] ;)
Orinda! Walnut creek, Spitzburg, antioch - been there a few times too
have friends n relatives in that area.
Its a lot different than is was in the 80's - I do miss the good ole days on telegraph ave - oh well
and Jeff is in the Eureka area the last time I heard of him.
R.I.P. Jeff 🍺😢
I just rode my e-bike from the Oakland Hills all the way to treasure island and back yesterday.
I’m looking for people to bike with, so we should link bro 😂
Great ride. I have an aniioki A8 pro Max. I live in Oakley. Ut come to downtown Antioch quite often we should meet up and go on a ride together
Nice...Star Wars trivia
Beautiful ride bro! I'm from Oakland. I went to Pinole Valley High School. I did a lot of "acoustic" cycling as a teenager. I moved to the PHX area in 93 and stayed. I now have a carbon fiber Fuji and an Aventon ebike. Been looking at this Ecells bike for a while but still haven't pulled the trigger because of the weight. Tell me about that and also how you can stay in Cali with a Gavin Newscum theme environment!?
Pheonix looks like it has a lot of nice trails and places to ride. Is it a good place to ride there?
@shootthechit Oh ya! I thought you came here for the Lectric X Peak test ride with the company? Maybe not.
Water knowledge....wow
I’m amazed that you did this all on this bike of yours. I grew up in Montclair. Good times. Strongly considering this bike. Stopped at their booth at the Electric Expo last weekend.

At times it looked when you were going 28 m.p.h. or more there was some significant “ghost pedaling”. Or was that not the case?
I think the gearing is actually one of his only gripes with the five star being setup to let you pedal along at 35+mph no gohsting if you want but it is not as great at letting you pedal yourself up steeper hills without reliing 100% on the motor to push you up. Kinda a give and take and this leans on the high speed side of the scale if i understand right. He on his last five-star switched the rear gear casette stack for one with a larger biggest gear and that helped. I plan to do the same mod when i recieve my bike at hopefully the end of this week...
@@psavar97Good to know. At the Expo Gator had mentioned that after 28 m.p.h. one may start to notice ghost pedaling. I wouldn’t have the knowledge to do what you said, but I’m sure a bike shop could do it(granted many of them don’t want to work on other than their own). Even though I could only ride up to 20 m.p.h. there even at that speed I felt the difference with the torque sensor. Just not majorly.
@@psavar97I just viewed again where he was in the lowest gear and had to stop. Granted I couldn’t 100% tell how steep that was, but him saying he was using the throttle and lowest gear and not being able to make it 😮. That’s concerning. Oh well can’t expect a 100+ lbs bikes can’t do everything 😢😂
I’ve ridden from emeryville to treasure island and then ferry to embarcadero, then over golden gate up to Marin and back on the other ferry, another good ride.
The port of Oakland thing is an urban legend, though, they’re just based on elephants.
Have you tried taking the dual star up the summit trail on Mount Diablo? (Not the asphalt, the dirt) there’s a few sections with a 25% grade. The bike I tried it with crapped out after a mile of climb and I had to huff it back to Diablo Vista. That was some work on a toasted e-bike.
@jasonx7803 I have gone up the fire trails to the top of Mt Diablo but on my Soecialized Turbo Levo, I wouldn't attempt it on a hub drive ebike.
I might do the ferry to SF at some point and do a loop around the city. I used to take BART or park but not a fan of either of those options these days
Yeah fair, I was doing it on a mid drive, but they sent an incompatible chainring with it (which I managed to work around by inverting the inner sprocket) but I had already ground down some of the casing with the original mounting. I don’t want to call out the manufacturer since this might not be an issue caused by them (the retailer offered a smaller chainring as an option and I wanted the torque, but it was meant for a smaller motor of theirs, not a supported config. Retailer admitted they shouldn’t have sold it that way, so they say they’re gonna fix/replace it, we’ll see)
Once I get another I may try again but that’s gonna be a while. :/
That is one great ride from San Francisco to Antioch. And it wasn't all street. You took a bunch of off-road trails. Amazing. Looks like you did Power Level 3 all the way. Can you post a link to your route?
I don't think I have the courage to try it, but wanted to see specific streets and trails you took.
hmm, not sure how I can post the exact route. I will look into it.
www.strava.com/activities/12234807988 You can zoom in on the map . Its by far one of my favorite rides, tons of scenery changes.
@@shootthechit - Very nice. Thanks for doing this. Much appreciated.
@shootthechit Do you think you could have gotten another 5 or 10 miles of range after the 49 till empty?
How comfortable was the long ride?
Sore?
Let’s see the dual star wobble, or are you afraid of Cleveland?
George Lucas is from Modesto
@iwasframed1370 Yea but he was living in the northbay for a long time as well
@@shootthechit Yeah he spent time there but he's from Modesto.
Hi mate, how does the E-Cells compare to the Motor Goat? I’m considering these bikes at the minute, so just trying compare the two! Cheers
Same here
Wow, that’s some excellent range. What a ride.
Speaking of range, did you ever get the 2nd battery for your Motor Goat V3?
And does the 2nd battery also come with a 2nd charger?
I ordered the first gen 2nd battery and it was shipped but ended up going back to GOAT because it was labeled wrong. Turns out that was a blessing in disguise because now there is a 2nd gen battery available which is 50ah which I switched my order to. I believe it will come with a huge 14amp charger, but I will know more in the next few weeks once it arrives.
@@shootthechit 50ah, that’s huge.
It’s not listed on their website yet.
What’s the price for that 50ah battery?
Edit: Nevermind. I just saw it on their website.
It wasn’t listed last week.
I wish that second battery was the main battery and the gas tank looking one the second battery. I think it would fly under the radar a little more if it wasnt for the gas tank battery. It is named the Motor Goat so I get it, Im wrong
Ha ha ha..street sweeper...
Enjoy your videos. Hit me up if you're ever in LA and we can do group rides
So you wanted to see an actual troll rather than just hear from them in your comments, huh?
14:28 The BMW driver was only acting like that because they were startled that there was a flashing green arrow on the dashboard and they couldn’t figure out why it was doing that.
hah for real, probably took it to the dealership to see what was going on. I'm having a hard time finding a realistic route from CA to Nevada...
@@shootthechit it’s ok what’s stoping us from taking all interstate? I see nothing wrong
I too enjoyed the old stamps in the 90's. Never had fake ones though lol.
ohhhhh Chit I spit my Rockstar!!! I seen 2 republicans back there!!!! BAAHAAAAA Trump 2024! Dude too funny! where gonna have to hook up and ride! (5 Star owner)🤣
hah, they laughed too, but probably also walked faster just in case I wasn't joking lol
I noticed far less chain rattle than your original Five Sar had. Any changes to the bike, or just different audio? Perhaps my years of wearing a headset have irreparably damaged my hearing...
I have not seen Jeff.
clutched derailleur.
he has a video about that
Actually it's still the stock derailer for now. I think it's because I wasn't going off curbs and all that. It still makes noise. I will be swapping it soon and filming the process this time
@@shootthechit oops I was thinking of the 5 star
my bad
it was before the dual star.
if it working as it is? hey bonus!
less work for us when that Dave guy has things taken care of. :)
zE CELLS how to zturn my head lite ?????
Relive app!
wish you would have given those 2 brave Republicans a high five for their courage to walk with the wild😂
0:57 is that a no bike sign?
It was really weird, there was a bike lane then it routed off the road to some switch backs, then back to the road. It was quite confusing
got my cells head lite but hey How Do I Turn it on ?????????????
@@user-th4vu5ug7y hold the up button for a few seconds
10:23 I had an ex take me up there before one time on one of our first dates.
New helmet?
I wore the Xnito helmet.. class 3 rated because I know we would be around more traffic than usual...
@@shootthechit ...looks good.
Acid is a fun time. Don't care what no one says.
You will by Berkeley and didn't capture a Palestine flag😢
What's that jam at 12:00?
Castlevania 3 - Demon Seed ... it slaps! I remember entering a code in the NES game where you could listen to the stage music just to hear it
@@shootthechit Thanks blood.
Iron taint.
Dude I love your channel but I can't stop sh-tting on this company. Jesus just so unprofessional.
Guess you would end up in jail if you were on a Phatmoto in that communist state...but smash and grab...ur good...lol
California is surprisingly tolerant on the e-motos in most areas. That outdoor shopping area we rode through was the target of a massive shash and grab recently. There was like 100 people running around going nuts
The Phatmoto is a 2 stroke gas engine...just like the outlawed gas weed eaters@shootthechit
@@fb6performance271 Phatmoto makes gas and electric bikes. And their gas bikes use a 79cc 4 stroke engine.
I really hate the term "acoustic bike". Doesn't make sense. There are bicycles, and e-bikes.
Hah yea, its just a joke because electric guitar, and acoustic guitars...
dude, you're in Cali... you're all weirdos.
