Hey glad you got your Goat. What was your order number?
Why do you have your blinkers facing backwards lol the feont ones are for th people in front of you lol.
he needs to know which way he’s turning
@@thomasfodor3495😂😂😂
He can’t read…. 😂
"Nobody is going the speed limit in Antioch." - Truer words have never been spoken.
Do the speed limit, I dare you!
The Motor Goat v3 comes with a key fob in the accessory bag. I keep my "ignition" key, battery key, and rear-wheel lock bar key on the fob. I keep that fob in my pocket with my larger key chain. I reach into my pocket and pull out the smaller forb with 3 keys on it, when I wish to ride the Goat.
You have your front turn signals on backwards as seen at the beginning of the video. This is a mistake, as the cars ahead of you need to know if you are about to turn, and not just the cars behind you.
For those who must arrive at work without being sweaty, the throttle only option works well. It is my "commute to work" eBike, as I have to arrive to work without sweat in my environment.
A lighter rear shock (350 pounds versus 450 pounds) is available from Goat Bikes for 99 bucks. This is the solution for lighter riders. It gives a smoother street ride.
On Goat bikes shipped now, the controller is better secured and does not rattle. Mine was secured by a big wide pad of double stick foam.
Goat offers a seat lift plate, for those with longer legs. This makes it easier for taller people to pedal.
On mine, all the plugs went to either controls, throttle, brakes, or the headlamp/turn signals. I had no spare un-used connections. Mine was ordered in late March. It was delivered 13 June.
I adjusted my wheel size to match the speedometer with what my GPS reported. The stock speed read 1 MPH high for every 20 MPH. This made it have a 2 MPH error at 42 (actual speed was 40 MPH). The correct wheel size is 22.8 inches, which makes the speedometer match the GPS spot-on.
The second battery certainly offers more range. It also gives a bit more speed because there is less voltage sag from the battery under the full (3000 Watt, 50 amp) load.
The price of Goat Bikes are expected to go up on July the first, 2024. This is to compensate the 25% tariff increase recently put into place. eBikes previously had an exemption from this tariff.
And YES, I love the seat. It is the most comfortable ride of any of my eBikes.
The battery wobble comes from the fact the battery Base (which the battery slides out of), is sitting on 3 short plastic stand-offs from the frame of the goat. Installing rigid spacers to the side of the three mounting bolts (between the battery base and the frame) will eliminate the battery wobble. Even using high density black foam between the battery base and the frame should reduce/eliminate the wobble. I have done this exact fix, but have not used it enough to give a final verdict. The black foam could be mounted with double sticky tape, or for a more permanent connection "rubber contact cement" As a note, the foam will likely have to be slightly thicker than you estimate, as even high-density foam compresses over time. But, if you make it too thick, you risk cracking the base as you tighten the three bolts which hold the base.
Nice video! I got one a few months ago, and I really like it. It is a really fun ebike in the street where I mostly ride. On the trails, I feel and look like I belong.
You need an 80 tooth chain ring...
It was a fun and as always an entertaining ride along.😊👍
Good Segment Big Dog!
Can't wait for a distance test. I imagine you will use power assist 2, but I would actually love to see a pedal assist lvl 1 mode distance ride, just to truly see how far it can really go throttle only on the lowest speed/power setting as that would probably give a good true max vs top speeds that seem to entice people so much.
Appreciate you pointing out adjustments you need to make. Interesting "bike". Horn sounded kinda Chitty. You made me want one.
It's been pretty fun so far
Great ride along enjoy your goat 😊
He should. He got it free.
Ha ha ha.....thank you my friend...@IMBruceECLECTIC....YES..Front and Rear Baskets and ET....
I have a similar ebike. I didnt like them when I started ebiking. I actually pedal mine almost every day. The long seat is better than a bike seat. Much better.
You can get a quick release for your e-bike from your main key ring. 👍🏻
I ended up using that after all.
That's the type of rear hub mag motor wheel I need on my bike. I'm tired of constantly replacing broken spokes.
Carabiner to attach to key ring, wish mine would show up!
Ordered mine back in April. Still waiting on it
Same
Still riding my rad power
yeah me too they told me June fingers crossed🤞
Same im order #2006 can’t wait to ride
#1941 last I asked they were in the mid 1700s
I got a 12 v that goes 100 mph!😂 All kidding aside I'm interested in getting one.
Great bike! You are brave to leave your ebike out by itself 😮
I have it locked up pretty well and the area I leave it is fairly high traffic. It would take someone quite awhile to get it, so I'm not super worried. I wouldn't lock it there at night..
@@shootthechit 👍
You need to change the front sprocket like Bruce did and he can pedal past 30mph I believe
I think your front turn signals are backwards ?10:13
Buy the riser...adds 3 inches
Nice ride, but your supposed to ride with the traffic and not against.
Power level 3, or 5, or 9. Power level can be changed in settings. 👍🏻 I have the Billy Goat v2. 👍🏻
I set mine to 9 levels to try and slow it down a bit on a trail I was riding, but overall I like having just the 3
I wonder if the battery seeming loose is a shock absorber to help battery life from jolting around? I would think with single battery they should have it mounted in the lower saddle part of frame for lower center of gravity. But a fuel tank battery does look cool. Probably why its up there. Anyways cool stuff. Thanks for showing it off! :D
The battery has exceptionally large capacity at 60+ volts and 25 Amp hour of capacity. Because of its large size, you would bang your shins/feet/knees on it in a lower position. The optional second battery is only 20 Amp hour of capacity, and it mounts in the lower position. The second battery is more narrow but has less capacity. They will be selling a monster 50 Amp hour second battery soon. It fits in that HUGE void under the main battery.
Great video ....... What do you have your "wheel diameter" set at?
It's set at 24 , that's how it came stock
Man turn them damn turn signals around 😂….. it’s got red lights that shows on the ground ..
Great video bro but you put your front turn signals on backwards
My fav
can you recommend any replacement parts for the chainring and everything for better gearing for pedaling at high speeds. I know you said you replaced yours but you had spare parts from the wired freedom before. I want to do the same with the goat bike but I'm a beginner, willing to learn though, no problem. People in nyc will absolutely hate me riding this but at least I can prove to them that the pedal works LMFAO
You like this more or the wired/ ecells ? Do you think you’re too big for it?
2:14 "This bike is pretty much a moped that has pedals on it." So, a moped? :)
when it comes to the style of these bikes, have sort of a pet peeve on wannabee fuselages.
visually it looks like it gets in the way or is an eye sore or out of place just because it’s just right there, right in front of you… if you bend over to reach in front of you while on the bike. there is a large gap or empty space where the battery typically goes on pedal-assisted bikes. other than that, super73 style bikes look awesome but personally would look for one without that fuselage look.
on a motorcycle it has a legit purpose but on ebikes you have other places a battery can be placed.
I like to pedal and at least think I helping
Wonder if those extra cables have anything to do with optional extra battery?
No, he either got the wrong wiring harness, or he left some stuff unconnected. The optional battery does not route through the handlebars. Clearly, his display, throttle, and PAS mode control is connected, as well as the turn signals. He didn't show the high/low beam headlamp in use, so maybe that is one of his disconnected connections.
Really appreciate your reviews , especially when you speed test because I'm @ 240lbs myself . When I watch those string beans do speed testing it's useless for me because I'm not like a piece of spaghetti
Verify these speeds with gps..Take those speeds with a grain of salt..just got my billy goat v2 and I'm 240 lbs and can't get but 38 mph on level ground with the wind helping out..and so are others..my 15 year old son weighs 125 lbs and can only get 39 ..I don't believe the claims..
Personally, have my keys on 2 snap-links, so whenever am out & about, it's Snapped onto my backpack, outta the way
E moped slap some pedals that will never be used just to call it an ebike.
LMAO! " I can't read."
I don't know what that says, but thanks for the comment
You stated, ' I CANT READ.' Meaning you are illiterate. That was funny CHIT.
You should have got my color.. ..
There was a longer wait for that color, so I stayed with this one, but I'm OK with it
I posted a video short and titled it, "RUNNING STOP SIGNS IS A SPORT AROUND HERE." lol.
The stop signs are the scary ones, because sometimes they don't even attempt to slow down and blow through while speeding. Was tempted to put up a camera at the stop sign by me and do a montage of people running it. lol
From your videos, looks like you're in Fremont area?
@@shootthechit I'm in San Bernardino, CA. Even worse of a place than yours unless you're just being sarcastic about the city you live in, lol. Mine is a literal shithole.
“I don’t rely on my reading, I rely on brain” - peak male
Turn signals up front are on backwards fyi
You know, someone else told me that as well, but I like them this way better... not that I even use the turn signals ...
🤪
I like how you ran a stop sign 90secs after you complained about a guy doing It.
Homeboy in the car didn't even look, he had zero cares in the world
I’m on jflys team now.
Rude.... the shock works for me
hah because you have 2 tons of extra gear on your bike!
Billy goat same thing with the rear suspension, wayy too stiff
It doesn't make sense, why did they use such a stiff spring?
Work on those calfs
I can't believe you blew that stop sign turning onto A. I am very disappointed.
I'm calling the cops 👮♂️
Yep ….blinkers must be low on fluid to be facing backwards …. Idk
It's more aerodynamic this way, easy 2-3mph faster
@@shootthechit oh shit… I didn’t think of that … genius! Lol what’s you thoughts on Tannus liners ?
@@dmcg9066 The inserts work well, but they eat up a bit of range and they are expensive. I've been using FlatOut in all my tires as of late and haven't had a flat since.
@@shootthechit yeah I scored a set with puncture resistant tubes for free from another CZcamsr … the range has diminished along with top speed … thinking about shunt modding now because of the inserts… but the ride is so much smoother… never ending with these bikes lol
Looks like 45mph frequently for light people under 200 lbs.
Probably fairly easily too. I saw 45mph a few times as well
@shootthechit Try a couple sticky back foam tabs along the battery mounting bracket somewhere. To lessen the wobble of the battery.
U can have up to 9 levels
I don't really get why people do that? Do we really need that many levels of pedal assist?
@shootthechit ...yes...I may take my bike on a trail where you have to pedal and max speed is 15 mph. So I changed my GOAT from 5 levels to 9 levels to be able to ride her from Washington DC (going to see the Exorcist Steps for you) to Pittsburgh
I read the manual...and I don't have extra plugs......cows won't fit....
I think it's the updated version
@@shootthechit ..yes
@@shootthechit I have the updated version too. Mine arrived June 13th. There were no extra plugs on mine.
Don't make fun of my pedaling... I have feelings......
Bro how are you riding in the bike lane against traffic, plus you talk about the guy running the stop sign then you do the same thing a couple moments later. This is why more regulations are coming out.
So if you can't read, I guess you've been using a screen reader for the comments this whole time?😜
I'm not sure what all these symbols mean, but thanks for the comment!
@@shootthechit lol
Thieves get smart and just cut the bike rack.
Yea, unfortunately there is only so much you can do, just gotta make it as difficult as possible for them
Pretty ugly bike with that battery there !
