- Today we travel to New York City to ride our ebikes around. The west side greenway and car free Central Park were prime biking locations.

8:09 that guy that zoomed past was cool af
Good video thanks for shouting out our squad Gotham Ebikes which is the biggest ebike group in the city at the moment followed by S3 crew and Team ECS which mainly ride escooters. Next time you come thru check in with us we'll give you a much better ride experience NYC is bigger than Manhattan and don't forget your chargers next time
Yeah but you could have spent 20 times more and taken your car! Plus WEAVING THROUGH TRAFFIC? I WANNA GET CAUGHT UP BEHIND EVERYONE ELSE AND HONK LIKE GOD INTENDED
Awesome bikes, setup and ride! Enjoyed it very much thanks!
NYC vid #2, I love it! Central Park is an ESK8 dream! 😍🤙🏾
Those stop lights are remnants of when cars were allowed. Pedestrians have the right of way, but Idaho stop rules are the norm in the park. I think the lights are confusing as is right now.
The red signal light universally means a full stop is required. But whether one can proceed from the stop and through the red, depends on the locality. Unfortunately, if you bike through the red and a pedestrian is walking with the green, any contact will have the cyclist at fault. Better to play it safe, and while in the park, even signal your intention to stop, as riders behind you may come up with no intention of stopping. Thank you for the video.
Good video, and very interesting ride. It's funny that where I live, the suburbs have no bike infrastructure, but downtown there's bike lanes almost everywhere.
Enjoyed that one.
I pass by the green way every day ! Nice vid by the way !
Funny- as you orig. thought you were driving Up-Town when you were heading Down-Town- but that's OK its your first time in The City! Anyway, I used to 'run' everywhere you guys ebiked around but I am now oldER and you showed me with an ebike one can really get around (Even if your not so sure where your headed exactly!) Good video- be safe!
Nice bike ride. You probably was better off getting into the West Side Highway right on 33rd as soon you got off Penn Station then ride up to 58th and get Central Park from the point you both left. That why you can ride around the whole park. I think the east side of the park is more scenic thank the west.
I've seen your other videos and I had a feeling you were riding around Watchung haha. I used to take my 66cc 2stroke bike through those same roads in the reservation
In the UK our public transportation wants us all to ride bikes so much that they have banned all electric bikes and scooters from their services, that's how much they want people to ride these things in the UK.
Strange considering they have put in so many restrictions on driving in the city.
Being on the Westcoast we have way more rural residential highways. 55mph all through town. A tab bit harder to stay with traffic.
Wasn't expecting the face reveal
Wow nice
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it!
E-bikers: "Dude, check out this awesome looking bike I have, and all the specs, and all the cool gadgets on it, and..., and..., and..."
Everyone else in NYC: "Can you just get that 80lb moped out of my way???"
8th Street you probably looking for 9th avenue to go take it straight down to Penn station and then you got to come over to 7th avenue 7th 8th avenue I know this was some time ago I'm I'm just peeping this right now
Are you pedaling it? This is cool. I love my city but would not ride a bike in traffic brave soul. You went an a decent time light traffic etc. Good video
No some of those walking you on the right spot man that thing will go all the way around all the way downtown to all the way uptown 64 miles now if you want to explore other things then some places you can ride and some place you got to you have to walk it'll tell you
As a Harlem native yall should have been in the street but yall did well with the GPS
Don't want to rain on your parade, but be careful on the Greenway path (west side highway). They banned e-bikes and scooters a few months ago...And NYC is a revenue maker lately.
Also, It's a good thing you didn't try to take the PATH trains, as they banned certain e-bikes. Supposedly they're worried about the lithium batteries being a fire hazzard.
They just don’t wanna include ebikes as a tax credit footprint because the companies aren’t lining enough politicians pockets like the EV-bigger name car manufacturers
What part of jersey you from would love to link up one day
What kind of e bike you got? And what’s the wattage and battery capacity
The lights in central park are clearly for pedestrian crossings and you guys should be stopping when red.
Did u take amtrak to penn station? Im about to do it sfter seeing this video so i can get on. Amtrak didnt give u any trouble cause of the bikes?
Where did you buy your helmet from?
Your NBPower 2000w motor kit has a 45 amp controller so my question is can you run it full throttle at 45 amps for long periods of time like 30 mins or more or only for short few minute bursts?
lol 45 amp controller
even a 240 amp controller can be tiny
What helmet is that?
A Jersey group ride would be cool is there any good sites to check for that?
I’ll do some research
God DAYUM that music was loud lmao
Check Mr.E here on CZcams he is always in some group ride in the city with the Super 73 and other ebike groups.
And won't you ride to palisade that's on the side of you on the Jersey side maybe going into New York
I think the main reason people don't cycle tends to be laziness, they prefer the comfort of their car, however saying that, I also think infrastructure plays a huge part in convincing people to have a go, also watching fat people on bikes is inspiring for some people as well, because they often think and I have spoken so some people about this, if they can do it why can't I kind of attitude, it's the same with scooters and other things that make you move a little, watching fat people on these devices puts slim people to shame.
After all slim people have zero excuse so they use the lack of infrastructure as their excuse.
Let's face it, it is inspiring to see a fat person trying to make changes especially when you see some positive results.
Noooo. As much as I love e bikes ima still avoid cities as most costs. Tis a silly place
Don't buy the hyperscrambler 2. I bought one and it didn't make it 336 miles. Totally died. They won't response to me. I've been calling a emailing. Lemon, 🍋. Buy a aerial grizzly, wish I would of
you can see in this video that cyclists hate each other as much as the cars hate them
Can you go faster
Full face helmet is doing too much other guy is going as fast as him and has no helmet lol
I pity people that have to ride like this.
I know this is a long time but I'm just watching it now and you funny you said the the site the it wasn't much You're on the river and you act like you're from somewhere far like you cross the bridge over the other side of the water and you have the view of the the river what what could be more exciting than that and then you jumped on the sidewalk you want you talking about a lot about he's of course there's nothing sidewalk you supposed to be in the streets or walk it on the sidewalk on the sidewalk until you get into the park you on the sidewalk that's not the part you on the outside of the park That's why you see bodies
No some of those walking you on the right spot man that thing will go all the way around all the way downtown to all the way uptown 64 miles now if you want to explore other things then some places you can ride and some place you got to you have to walk it'll tell you
