    My ebike days our over I was on a one way going 23 mph speeding up and a truck decided to cross one way and did not see me .. nothing I could do I remember hearing a thud and woke up as I was getting put into a ambulance.lucky to be alive. Multiple face fractures and road rash from he'll along with multiple big bruises. 5 days in hospital. Just got home yesterday pain is off the charts still with left arm useless. Surgery on face in 4 weeks and possible neck surgery I have fractured c2 vetabreq. Be safe everyone.

    I'm ordering a kepler for myself soon, because fuck paying for gas, repairs, and insurance. The more people that switch over to ebike commuting, the more cities and towns will be pressured to build proper bike infrastructure. Amazing to see how you manage to gracefully weave through an environment literally built against you (with a much longer commute than me); inspiring stuff right here. I live/work in a city with good bike infrastructure, but my college is in a suburb with multi-lane streets and high speed limits, so it's comforting to see the possibilities you present in this awesome video.

    Commenting here as I am watching.. I did a ride to work one day.. 16 miles round trip. What a pain in the...! No bike lanes and heavy traffic. A couple areas I used were residential and not many cars. So much junk on the side of the roads to worry about .. Had to ride on grass off the street too. 😂 But I did the trip taking only 10 minutes longer each way. Just so much road construction making it more difficult here now.

Straight up, I'm a facial surgeon and have had two motorcycles back in the day. I feel continually riding in traffic is too dangerous.

    Yo Unc, u funny af! I went from driving my SUV daily to do everything, to only using it if I have to carry my kids somewhere. Anything else is on the AR, that includes grabbing food from the fast food spots, going to the pharmacy, grocery store, my corner arab store, and I ride 24 miles roundtrip to work every time weather permits. As far as the charger, mine did the same thing, and gets very hot. Much hotter than my other battery chargers for the 2 additional AR batteries and my kaabo wolf warrior scooter charger. I get scared when it's charging so long and so hot. I don't want my crib going up in smoke. I'm thinking about starting to charge it in my detached shed. I don't care so much if that burns down, I'll just have to get more yard equipment 😁. Keep doing your gangsta gorilla riding brah

Charging the battery I realized that also, the green light takes a little longer to pop up at times.... it maybe the battery pack balancing itself or maybe something to do with the voltage coming out the outlet?? Don't know. My commute is similar to yours in the since of in and out bike lanes to street but only about 9miles. Head always in a swivel. I got myself a motocross helmet. I got so many questions about the battery ad on bro... but I respect your privacy if not able to answer... what size is the new battery? Did you had to switch your controller?

  • @Nemonurwingy

    Badass riding. I do an EUC for lots of my riding, but 40 miles is hardcore. 10 I wouldn’t even think about, but 40 is significant. I live over in Fairfax, and I’m that unicorn out there. I was walking the dog earlier and saw a guy on an eskate going 20-25 and I clapped and told him to get it.
    I don’t replace a car, but I minimize. My wife and I have two cars, and if one breaks, I can totally see not replacing one. I have one EUC and one ebike that are pretty water resistant, and a train 2 miles away that gets me into DC when I have to. And a fast EUC if it’s dry I can do 20 miles like it’s nothing. The Kepler is what I tell people to go to for fast, cheap and low effort. EUC is fun, but you have to want to learn it. Anybody can ride a Kepler. And they should, driving individually is poor form if you can do it on a PEV.

      @Nemonurwingy Před rokem

      @@bigteedo_ev4905 My ebike is just an Engwe EP-2 Pro. It’s ok, but not like a Kepler. My fast EUC is a Begode EXN Torque which will go 40 (it doesn’t have a specific limit, it’s about hitting a usage threshold and it warns you to back off or risk crashing, it starts around 40 and slowly drops as the charge goes down. It has a little less than 3 times the battery of a Kepler.) It’s typical to not see EUC riders, there aren’t many. I have never seen another one in person, though my wife saw some guy in this general area, so there’s at least one more around Fairfax.

And any bike going fast around turns will scrape the pedals if they are down low in a sharp turn. You just keep them a bit up higher going into turns..

You good with the PO PO as long as you using your signals. Oh man.. hell no! I'd have to find a different route dude. It's a good thing you filmed this commute guy. More like this should be made. There's some dangers out there mainly because a lot of automobile drivers have no idea of a bikers right to maintain the same lanes when there are no biker lanes as long as they utilize their signals and respect traffic lights and stop sign just as an automobile driver should. But I gotta say, I couldn't do it. Am I the only one imagining a week commuting to and from the job this way??? It was crazy! And dude, on dark mornings?? It's definitely a challenge.

    Crazy ride but pretty nice when the infrastructure was bike friendly. Honestly Ebikes can replace cars however it means that you'd be taking a much greater risk getting around. Until the infrastructure allows for absolute safe riding that is when we will see less cars and more PEVs on the road.

    If you’re still using the same charge as before, it will take twice as long to change 40 amps vs only 20. I would recommend finding a new one that puts out more (maybe 8 or more) amps of power.

    Awright, BTD-EV!....Yours is the first footage have found where you're riding on Highway. Most footage have seen involves riding around suburban neighborhoods. How does KV2 handle hills >3+ miles long? That's one of my bugaboo's facing my bike. Current ride is 36v batt.(Forgot how many Ah!)-lol...250w rear-hub motor, built mainly for city commute. Since surrounding area is more/less flat suburban, it's all fine & dandy. But, wanna conquer that >3mile long hill! On paper, KV2 checks off some boxes!....A-L-O-H-A from Hawaii!

    Bigteedo, I finally received my Ariel rider Kepler and I am very disappointed with the Ariel Rider company. The wait was excruciating to say the least. I like the bike itself, but I am not happy with the fact that the chain would not seat in any gear without popping when I received it. The front brake had a lot of roll to it when squeezed and there was a crazy squeal at the front wheel when I rode it trying to seat the chain.
    My issue was so much so that I took my bike to a bike shop and had thenm do work on the bike to make it rideable.
    After pick the bike up and doing a test ride , the chain is still jumping off the front chain ring in the 7 th gear.
    Ariel Rider claim to do quality control and proper working checks before they send a bike out to the customer, it is really disappointing to have to deal with this after spending $1700. It is frustrating that people do not do the jobs that they claim.

      I'm 6'1" 250lbs, and on full charge throttle only, I'm easily doing 33-35mph on flat ground. And I carry a 15lb bike chain, 2 extra batteries, and my bag has my drink, tools, portable electric air pump, and my"protection ". So that's roughly 45lbs of extra weight. Hope that gives you some idea of how strong this bike is. My only issue is starting from a full stop, the motor doesn't like throttle only with all that weight,so I always have to pedal to help her out a little.

    • @gmanhad
      @gmanhad Před rokem +2

      It has all the same internals. The Kepler can get a little more out of it because those 26 inch wheels don't need as much rpm to do the speed the x class does. So the x class has to use all the power to spin smaller tires to get to 34, 35, or 36, where as the Kepler gets there with power to spare. I hope that makes sense, I'm not sure if I quite explained it thoroughly enough.
