From a local... For those visiting The City, vehicle break-ins are rampant there. Don't leave anything of value in the vehicle and if in an RV, leave at the RV park and take your e-bikes.
Love the e-bike reviews and your real-world experiences with them.
Thanks for the locals response! Appreciate your input and thanks for watching!
Wow!
This was soo encouraging to me just now for I still have my rad runner in the box and all the accessories that came with the Black Friday special in their box and I could not figure out the lock and now I SEE!! Thank you for encouraging me! I’m still trying to figure out my new camper and just got the correct equalizing hitch Friday and tried to disconnect it from my Jeep truck yesterday and almost broke my hand!! I cried and cried and now realize I made a terrible mistake because unladen this 3,140 little guy Max 21 ft trailer makes my Jeep Mojave trick roar and it is a new truck for this year and the towing reviews weren’t out there and even though it says it can 6,000 pounds I know now that it can’t handle it because with the truck empty and camper empty it roars and the rpms go high even on the flat!! I’m very disgusted because I was looking into getting a custom aluminum rack for the back of the camper since Hollywood rack doesn’t recommend placing theirs on a tear drop camper rear... this custom made and the weight of the bike itself will add weight and then my necessities and water will probably overburden my Jeep truck so I am sad... my dream has turned into a nightmare now that I know the reality.... I wish I could turn around and sell the whole lock stock and barrel to someone and get a class b like you two enjoy.... this disconnecting and reconnecting is way too hard on me and part of me wants to put my big girl pants on and suck it up and master the damn thing but I fear it’s just not gonna work out because hauling this set up around the country is gonna suck gas and wreck my nerves.... well I guess I need to tackle the bike assembly ... wish I had someone to help me... thanks again for explaining the lock and now I’m wondering if the center console will fit with the lock there ??
I guess in Faith I will order the chain you recommended and in Faith drive the camper to the Amish fella mid January for him to assemble a custom rear rack and keep trying to move forward with what I have... hey if ya know of anyone who wants my brand new Jeep truck and little guy winterized Max camper let me know and I will sell it all in a heart beat for what I now know I want...
Thanks for encouraging me
Rad on 👍😎☀️
Wow, tough news on the new setup. I will say it is a crazy hot RV market right now, and if you did want to sell it it probably would not take long. (I guess depending on your area, but sounds like its cold...) Especially with a good looking Mojave and teardrop. Also, I will say the first time you do anything it will most likely take a while and also be frustrating. I bet the second time you do it, it is twice as fast and you will continue to improve. Gas engines are designed to rev higher than diesels( more HP less torque) and sometimes that makes it less enjoyable while towing. But, you should be fine even maxed at 4,200lbs on your trailer if you have a 6,000 lb capacity.
On the bike, make sure to watch the assembly video first and then watch it again while pausing and do it step by step. You can do it! czcams.com/video/RVVMEnhCAaM/video.html
Oh man! I didn't even think of checking them for Black Friday sales!!! Enjoy your new ride!! (And I hope you get the other stuff worked out.)
Irene Iron Travels
God bless you for helping me & encouraging me!! I just watched the video you sent and now I feel more confident! Thanks sooooo much!!!
God bless you both 👍😎❤️😊
FYI;
Yep it’s cold here in Pennsylvania ( I refer to it as Pennsyltucky) where I live in the mountains but maybe if I get this smokin hot Mojave and little guy out in the Mojave desert where it belongs someone will fall in love with the set and buy it from me and then I can go to airstream of Scottsdale and get what I want!!!
Hahahah! I’m gonna hang onto HOPE!!!
Hey maybe one day I’ll even see yas when I’m out raddin around 👍😎❤️😊💃
David Dickerson Thanks David!!!
Yeah if ya sign up for the Rad emails then ya will be sure to get all specials they offer... I got the email with the bundle savings package and got the rad runner bundle but it’s still all in the box and now after watching this video I am more confident to tackle the box’s and get er’ done 👍😆😎💃
... ha ha, great bike tour, I know your route' well. "Curry Wurst mit Pommes" and the Wiener Schnitzel (called Jägerschnitzel with mushrooms) is traditional "Kraut Food".
Greetings from Frankfurt, Germany ... Matt.
Hey Matt! Good to hear we did alright on the German food, it was really good! Thanks for watching across the globe!!😃
FYI…RAD Power Bikes have a “Walk” mode….Great to see the City from the eyes of newbies…!
When I'm out on my eBike, I carry a 4 amp charger (Amazon), and ask if I can charge it while I'm eating at a restaurant.
If you spend forty minutes, you can get plenty of miles back. Also, Starbucks, and many public parks have outlets available. I also bought an extra battery to carry on longer rides. For guerrilla charging, I have one of those brown extension cords with multiple outlets on the end, a light socket adapter, and two 4 amp chargers. This way, on longer rides I can charge two batteries simultaneously, giving me 8 amps of current. I now have a habit of searching for 110 outlets when I'm out and about (riding or not), and make a mental note of where they are. I've found some in unexpected places.
Someone posted so I will also say it cause it is kinda true - not a goofy smile, but a very pleasant smile and it adds significant value to the channel.
I’ve kept up with the Wynn’s ever since their very first TV appearance (on “House Hunters” if memory serves me). They must have found full-time RVing either too boring or limiting, which caused them to move on to sailing. But watching their first few Florida sailing episodes underscored just how expensive and limiting that sailing can be. Preparing for several days just to travel 300 miles down the coast seems silly to me, but of course now they are full-blown South Seas sailors. I often wonder if they felt like they made a mistake by going the full-time sailing life choice.
It does seem much more difficult and more expensive for sure! Looks like fun...... maybe someday we would try it!
I am seeing this video 2years later. I have been there a few times, but would love to do a bike tour. I live in Santa Fe, but grew up as. Cheesehead in Green Bay. Between you 2 and Mark and Sue from Myles, Wisconsin is well represented. I am always nostalgic for SannFransico. Thank u
Ralph Ibsen
Another fantastic unbelievable video which I enjoy immensely !!! That singing voice was something else , Chris . Beautiful scenery and the sunset awesome . Those bike are really something. Meals look great , and building of of the singers were a highlight to me . Lombard street going down with those bikes was terrific. Thank you for sharing this wonderful video !! BS & BK
Hey Larry! Thanks again for watching and following along our San Francisco adventure. BS & BK!
The bikes really have added to your adventures! The San Francisco trip has been great to watch. I'll share it with a friend that lived there for awhile. Thanks!
They really have! Thanks for watching and sharing, really appreciate it! Fun city to visit!
Always great videos but this is the best so far! Lived in Germany 12 years, I would say the food looked very traditional. Many times they will include a big delicious blob of mayo with their fries too. Keep the great videos coming and be safe out there!😎
Oooooo "best so far"! We'll take it, thanks! Good to hear the food looked traditional as it was very tasty! Pleasantly surprising for us to find! 😃
Love the video as always! Next time you’re running low on juice in a city check out a Spin charging station. There may be other brands also. They are like electric vehicle chargers for micro mobility (ebikes, scooters, etc). There are stations in San Fran!
Thanks for the tip! We have not seen those yet and will keep an eye out for them in the cities we visit. I would imagine after this years' boom in ebikes, they will be more and more common! 😃
@@IreneIronTravels I hope they expand also as range anxiety is real and can throw a wrench in an otherwise lovely experience!
Thanks for sharing a fantastic day. Stay safe and enjoy.
Thank you for watching and same to you!😃
Curry wurst is my second favorite after Schnitzel 😎 absolutely the best German street food 👍 the Schnitzel looked very yummy. Thanks for sharing and what a great way enjoying the city. I’m so jealous!
Hello, thanks for watching! Glad we got a chance to get some good German food in a cool city! Appreciate the comment!
We do exactly the same at restaurants
Isn't it fun😃
I know y'all do because I caught in the video but be sure your battery charger has a green light for fully charge instead of 5 bars on the display. One of my rides I went by the 5 bars and in just a few minutes I was down to 4. On my way back home my last bar was flashing and I just barely made it, if I was fully charged I would have made it easily.
Oh yeah good tip for sure! We do go by the charger light, but you're right that can leave you in a bit of trouble! Glad you made it back home without running out of juice!

Thanks that is so cool of course I will support. You guys are great.
😍
Loved your 2-parter. Lived in SF for 25 years, miss it so much, and following along with you brought back so many memories: cycling around the city (don’t worry Aaron, there’s no shame in having to walk your bike in SF- I did a 40 mile race once and found myself hoofing it for a half-mile up Ocean Beach to the Cliff House), the financial district where I worked for 20 years, The Haight, the food, the neighbs, all of it-fantastic! One other thing, I’m a Midwest girl myself and when I moved to SF I was surprised to find really good German restaurants; the best of any place I’ve lived. Who knew? Thanks so much for sharing your adventure with this now-retired 65 year old. Left the Bay Area in 2005. Your video reminds me that I really did leave part of my heart in San Francisco.🥰
Those are great memories you have, thank you for sharing them! It was a great city to visit and we're glad we got a chance to do so. Maybe it's time for a visit for you too! ( We'll maybe not right now..... but in the future!) Thanks so much for watching and the nice comment
Chris is so cute. You lucky guy, you.
Anyhow, you barely scratched the surface of the awesomeness of SF. Gotta come back here after the pandemic.
I am lucky! 🍀 We will definitely be back to SF someday soon!
I am happy you had a great time! I would bring along your chargers on your next e-bike adventures. Many restaurants let their patrons charge up their electric vehicles. You can also buy adapters that will allow you to connect to electric car chargers with your existing charger and get a little charging in quickly. Range anxiety is a big thing (particularly in San Francisco) and bringing along your charger or investing in quick chargers (5amp or larger) will allow you to offset much of the range anxiety. I upgraded my charger to a 5AMP quick charger and it really helps.
That is a great idea, thanks! We'll check out the quick charger as well. Thanks for watching!
😂 I should start everyday watching Chris' goofy smile. You guys make me laugh - EVERY time I watch your videos.
Ahhhhhhh, thanks! I enjoy looking at Chris's smile goofy everyday! 😃 Thanks for watching as always!
You guys are REAL adventurers ! Gone With the Wynns don’t have anything on you guys .....
Ahhhhh! That is quite the compliment thank you! The Wynns have been doing this for a good while and are pros at it!
I didn't think i'd ever consider an e-bike, but you guys have caused me to reconsider. That looks like a ton of fun and maybe the best way to cover a lot of area but still get the benefit of exercise while exploring.
We really didn't either until we were looking at options for a second vehicle for the van. We were between a smaller motorcycle( like a Ducati Scrambler) and a pair of ebikes. Really happy with our decision on these. It is just too fun and practical also.
“On the side is important to you.” Great part 2. Look forward to more adventures.
Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
We are so happy to find ur Chanel with all the information u share can’t wait to go back , we love San Francisco on our next drive out there hopefully we will have Ebikes buy then. I need to look into a security system for a bikes.
Hey there, appreciate you guys watching! San Francisco was awsome and hope you guys get to experience it with ebikes!
We really enjoyed your SF videos, they brought back many memories for us. If you are still in the SF area check out Point Reyes Station, and the Valley Ford cheese company. Lots of great things to see just north of Marin on the Sonoma Coast. We are taking our AI up to the boundary waters canoe area in northern Minnesota this summer, all the good advice you have given in your videos will help as this will be our fist multi week trip.
We are out of the area now, but thanks for the suggestions for next time. So fun you guys are going to the boundary waters! We haven't really been to them ourselves! Enjoy your trip!
Amazing day. Unsure what your charger set up is like but on longer days I would pack the charger and most restaurants will let you plug it into an outlet if you ask nicely. I may have to visit Sannnnn Frannnncisco (sounding like Chris singing)
That's a good suggestion! We now have rear racks and bags on the bike so we can easily through the charger in on big days like this. It is a slow 2a charger, but probably would have been enough so I wasn't walking up that hill!😂 Great city to visit once you are released! 😂
So much fun watching you both enjoy my hometown! Both of you were fantastic!
It was great visit! Thanks for watching!😀
I felt sorry for Aaron, You may consider putting on a back Bike rack on the back fender, then put a backup battery on it ? For your longer Adventures. I'm guy that ask your thoughts on portable wind Turbines ! I have two E bike myself.
Hey there Joe! We have since put racks and a bag on the back of the bikes and really like it. A back up battery sure would come in handy on the big days like this! The spare batteries are about $549 so that is a big investment to consider. Would be cool to have an on board generator charging by pedal power or a solar panel. Maybe this would be a good application for the wind turbine!
Those bikes are such a game changer. Beautiful you guys. Thank you
They really are! Thanks for watching!
So glad I found you guys
Welcome aboard!!
That did seem to be a fantastic day! The sunset just topped it off.
Running low on battery? Eh! Just adds to the adventure!
All in a days adventure! Thanks for watching!😃
Hi, I can confirm it is German street food, curry wurst mit pommefrites. Especially good with a beer 😁.
Good to know! Thanks! 🍺🍺
You hit Lombard St at the perfect time. Every time I’ve seen it it’s been gridlock of traffic.
The city was surprisingly quite on the first day we were there. I won't complain about about that!😃
I lived Germany five years. Yes that food looks authentic! Also extra battery is not that expensive.
Fun! Glad to know we got the authentic stuff! Thanks for watching!
The Schnitzel looked actually really authentic. However, we Germans eat the potatoes on the side, not "under" our meat LOL! Same goes for fries and the currywurst. It looked really good, though, and now I am missing home and wish I could get on a plane LOL!
Glad to hear we got pretty close to authentic! If we ever get overseas again we would love to visit Germany some day too! Thanks for watching Christine!
Awesome tour guys😃
Thanks!
Hi guys! As you suspected, at least one of your viewers participated in the Summer of Love in the Haight-Ashbury - me! I was born in San Francisco in the 40’s - and spent a number of fun days in the Haight - and down in Aquatic Park (you rode past it when you left the bridge) listening to the beginnings of Santana. You drove past our old house on Marina Boulevard - and also past the St. Francis Yacht Club, with which I still have an affiliation. I would be happy to tell you about what the Haight was really like during the day - but not in a public comment. I left San Francisco for Stanford U and then Stanford Law - but I know every inch of the city. Your videos brought back a lot of memories - I thank you for that. You also went past the Wing Duck store in Chinatown where we used to buy our illegal firecrackers!!! If you want more info, give me an email address to use in a reply. George
Hello! Glad we could spark some memories of the city, sounds like you had some good times! We had a great time visiting and look forward to a visit sometime in the future. We would love to hear more about your early year escapades in SF! IreneIronFitness@gmail.com
Loved the video! We purchased the Blix Vika+ and they are arriving Thursday. Went with foldable and less weight
We are finally getting our Embassy RV MB 4X4 in Jan
Can’t wait to get out there
That's next month! YAY! Those Blix look like like nice compact ebikes..... your going to love your new setup!
Lombard St on ebike , Sweet
👍👍
Nice trip, but I can’t see myself doing any traveling yet I’m in NYC and things are getting worse. As for the bikes you have I brought an extra battery.
Yeah, it is getting worse right now for sure. California is exploding also. We haven't been traveling for the past month or so, trying to keep it low. Extra battery on the ebike would come in handy on big days for sure. Stay safe over there Henry.
My husband & I really enjoy watching your videos. We love seeing all the food. We were wondering when you shot this video in San Fran? It was nice to see all the restaurants open.
Hello, and thank you! Yes, we got lucky to visit before the lockdown started. This was back in early November and seemed to be pretty open. Chris is the big foodie and she has been slowing enhancing my life over the past 15 years with it! 😃
ohhhh fudddgggeeeeeeee.....those darn batteries #$%^#$%^# Close, so close....almost made it. Aaron....you serve as a beacon for the rest of us hehehe As much as there is to see in San Fran, I don't know how one could make the battery last all day.
Powering batteries down.....turning bikes off....hmmmm....this seems pretty similar to making the black and grey tanks last on a week of boondocking hehehe
Safe travels!!
So similar to boondocking! 😂😂😂
Great video to watch on a rainy Sunday in PacNW. You left at the right time.
How are the bikes for ease of balance? My daughter is deaf/hard of hearing and has balance issues.
Safe Travels.
Hello from CA! Hopefully, it doesn't rain all winter long on you guys!🙂 The bikes are really easy to handle for us and full frame and 4 inch fat tires make it a very smooth ride. If your daughter does not have any issues with riding a regular bike I would think she would do good on an ebike as well. They are much heavier of course, but to me, it feels very similar to a regular bike. It's actually easier on take off because of the motor to help assist. Thanks for watching!
@@IreneIronTravels Thanks!
That's so funny - it's embarrassing for my family when I ask the server what they eat... I did that the whole time on our cruise - had the same waiter every night, and after the third night he took it over - the only thing he asked was if I had any allergies.. Got bigger/better servings then hubby LOL💜
That's pretty funny to do it to the same server every night!!😂 When Chris and I first started dating I didn't get it. I thought why do you care what someone else likes to eat......... what if you don't have the same taste in food! But, this was coming from a picky eater (me)... so I get it now!
@@IreneIronTravels My family says I too am a picky eater - I figured that if I didn't at least try I wouldn't ever know anything different - in hindsight I wouldn't have changed a thing - I did do it at the wharf in San Fran as well got some weird seafood dishes for sure but why not. LOL. stay safe
YEAH extra wine!
Woo-hoo!!!
“They’re probably just playing hard to get”...LOL!
😂😂 Still waiting! 😂
Great video!! You do a great job editing 👍
Glad you two were able to make it home and you didn’t have to pedal those 70 pound bikes 😅😅
Thanks, appreciate the nice comment! We made it! 😂
Fantastic!
Fantastic! 😂
So Rad🚴🏼♂️. Yeah locking them up. We take off the batteries. And don’t go far from them. What gears did you use climbing Lombard St.
We walked the up the first extreme incline, so we didn't waste the battery, and then the last part we did gear 1 and PAS 3. I think we used that for most of the hills and then went to PAS1 or off on flat areas to save battery.
Loved the video.
😍 Thanks for watching!
Hi, I can’t find the info on your EBike cover. Can you send me a link? Also, we look forward to your videos and thank you for all the helpful info we’ve been able to use to get started in our travels.
Hello! 👋 Thanks for watching! I think the cover is sold out on amazon, but here is the link to all of our bike accessories. www.amazon.com/shop/ireneironfitness?listId=BQGMNVYJXXGG
I lived in Germany when i was a kid and schnitzel
On a bun with roasted red papers and sauerkraut Yum, great sharing ty. Do u carrie a changed battery on u and how much does batteries cost for those bikes ?
Sounds yummy 😋! The extra batteries are $549 and we don't have any. The 45 miles is pretty good for 99 percent of our day trips, but it would be nice!
Love the videos you’ve shared! It inspired us to purchase two RadRover Step thru’s. Appreciate all your tips. One question I have is the mounting bracket for the Abus 6500 110cm does not fit in the water bracket holes. Did you do any modifications to mount it on your step thru or is that the 85cm? Keep us posted on all your new adventures!
Hello, thanks for watching! Yes we have the 110cm and for some reason the plastic mount does not have the holes for the screw to fit the bottle mount. I had to drill two little holes in the plastic and then it mounted fine with the screws. Really like the extra length of the 110cm and everything is holding up great after 4 months!
@@IreneIronTravels thank you for the quick reply and confirming the solution of mounting the 110cm. Take care and stay safe!
Thank you so much for this great video.
Thank you so much for watching, as always appreciate! 😃
I was the 5th child. Now I know why I'm so screwed up!
😂
I always ask the server for recommendations!
It would be foolish NOT to ask the server, right?!?! I can see you doing this too!! - Chris

Your video was fantastic!! 😊
Yay! Thank you Shelley!😊
Hi Chris and Aaron
Just wondering why you drive all the time? Enjoying your vlogs all the time. Just a friendly comment. Drive safe always!!
Good question, we get it a lot! Chris really enjoys driving and doesn't do well being a passenger. I don't mind being a passenger so it works out! We talk a bit more about it in the Colorado driving vlog towards the end if you wan to hear more. czcams.com/video/p4mFKKN8hc0/video.html
Thanks for watching!
@@IreneIronTravels thanks!
Same here, I drive all the time and my wife is a passenger. I drove my wife crazy when I’m a passenger. Lol!
Lol, just watched and was wondering about bikes safety. First kids, seating for 4...lol. Nice locks thou....is that a rad option or on your amazon.
🤣🤣
Rad sells the locks and Amazon as well. Abus bordo x 6500 110cm. Great 🔐 👍👌
Aaron, what are your thoughts about the lock for the battery? Secure enough to leave on the bike at all times or do you remove and if so when and why? I have heard that the batteries are a popular item to steal so some carry them with them when they "park' the bike.
I could image that in big cites or certain areas, the batteries could be a high theft item. They are $500 bucks a pop after all. But we don't worry much about it. I don't think the battery would get stolen at lunch or while grocery shopping, which is when we would leave it. Overnight at the campgrounds we also leave the batteries on, but ofcourse the bikes are locked up tight. That being said, it's not a bad idea/habit to always remove it, especially if you had a good charging spot to store them. Not much space in the van!
Fantastic
Fantastic!😁
Good Morning ☕️
What a fantastic video!

You’re cold
You’re hungry
You’re eating outside

I’d be talking with my mouth Full 😵
Take care~Safe Travels
Hi JJ! Chris here. Thanks so much for your ongoing support and nice comments. It was such a fun day! I was super cold and super hungry, lol. But it was definitely a moment worth sharing. We had so much fun there and we really enjoyed sharing this location! Take care.
@@IreneIronTravels
I absolutely love your
Channel. You’re such a good couple together.
Keep doing what your doing and the chanel will grow. *Promise*
I look forward to your videos every Sunday.
I even let them run a second time when I read the comments.
*wink*
Sorry to tell you guys it is scary windy spot where you are so it’s always like that but San Francisco is rarely warm
Not to be mean but native Californians don’t like “Cali or ‘San Fran’ - it’s ‘the city’ and California!
I know because I’m a native Californian fourth generation - you guys will love riding your bikes though we have Rads too!
And you are also fantastic 👏
Chris smiled when I read this to her. 😊
Ha ha ya she deserves that she is a good girl, she gives good company to you, she teaches us good cooking , she keeps us entertained, she does the home.work of the places you visit in advance and also order the right food at the right restaurant when you guys visit there , she sings tooooo❤️
Happy life guys 🎉
Hey, Chris here. Thank you so much for your kind words. You definitely brightened my day. I appreciate you and your support!! ❤
Do your bikes support regenerative braking? That would be super useful in SF.
Our models do not, but I found this article on the models that do.....
Regenerative braking is a feature that recharges the battery when the brakes are applied. All Rad Power Bikes ebikes with a direct drive motor have this feature. The RadCity 4, RadCity Step-Thru 3, and RadWagon 3 have a direct drive motor that allows for regenerative braking.
Regenerative braking only works on the direct drive hubs. Most bikes now have geared hubs which disengage when coasting. Direct drive hubs work well on flat ground, but suck going uphill, so the benefits are really marginal as you have to get up the hill before you can regenerate coming down.
I always wonder why people ask a waiter what they like. You have no idea if they have good taste or would like anything you would enjoy. Maybe what’s most popular.
I (Aaron) didn't get it at first either! Chris likes ALL types of food so what she is really looking for is some excitement from the waiter on the dishes they serve daily and to try new things.
A fantastic video!
Many thanks Joyce!😃
Really enjoyed this video! What part of Wisconsin are you from? I'm far southern off of I-39/I-90.
Much farther East! I (Aaron) grew up in Hudson, WI close to MN and Chris is from Brooklyn Center, MN. I have family in the Rice Lake and Eue Claire area as well. We do love Madison! Thanks for watching!
@@IreneIronTravels Very nice beautiful areas! I have been vacationing in Chetek for 20 years (going there next week)!
Did you add the link to the locks?
We do have them in our Amazon store in the ebike section. www.amazon.com/shop/ireneironfitness
That's not mud on your tires
What? You’re from Wisconsin! I thought I’ve heard you say Minnesota in the past. What part of Wisconsin? We’re near Waukesha.
It's actually both! I (Aaron) was born in WI and Chris was born in MN. We spent most of our youth and early adulthood in Hudson WI , right on the border of MN, so all of our tv and radio channels were from the Twin Cities! We sold our house in 2014 and then moved to Minneapolis before this adventure. I don't think we've been to Waukesha, but Chris has friends in Madison and Janesville not too far away!
@@IreneIronTravels We just got e-bikes and I think I remember you saying you were going to give some information regarding how you coach batteries handle charging the bikes. Any info would be appreciated.
Fun, congrats on the ebikes! We are really loving ours. We have been mostly in RV parks since getting the bikes so we haven't had to charge them off the coach batteries yet. We have 400 amps of lithium, so it won't be a problem, but I do need to do some testing to see how much they actually drain. It might take about 100 amps to charge two batteries because of the voltage difference of them. 48 volt vs 12volt.
They won't make money but the mischief factor in taking a seat might be irresistible.
Well hopefully that doesn't happen to us! 😳
I hope the same you vids are great plus keeping Then in eye sight I think reduces that chance considerably. I have a light weight foldable so even when I go shopping I can put it in my shopping cart. I also carry an extra battery in my backpack. Still I admit I don't get the mileage you guys get off the one battery.
It is hard to let them out of our sight for long, but we've only had them for a couple months and I'm sure we will loosen up a bit. It is too bad that bikes are such high theft items for sure! Thanks for watching!
Luckily the seat and Post are standard easily replaceable and light. There's no real money to be made stealing seats however so little to no practical incentive. If one of you were to wear a backpack.... THE GUY you could take the seats with. Put them in the pack seat first. Still the only reason to take them is to be an ass. So it's not all that likely. I enjoy your vids thank you.
Rewatching the 2020 airstream walkthroughs. We have an interstate. Guarantee the van could pull 20(ish) feet. What’s the max weight you’ve towed?
I think I read the Interstate can pull any of the single axle airstreams up to the 22 foot 5,000lb Caravel. We haven't towed anything in our Interstate, but it sure does go up the mountains with ease at close to 11,000 lbs GVW.
you dont like german beer? Didn't the germans pretty much Invent beer?
Not our favorite....but the Germans sure know how to drink!
So, are you guys plugging in the chargers as you drive RV on the road?
We have been at a lot of RV parks lately so it has not been necessary. But, yes I could see us charging while driving for sure. We plan do get back to some boondocking here soon, so we will see what charging options works best for us.
Do you happen to know if your bike locks are the 110cm version or the 85cm version?
Hello, yes they are the larger 110cm. We are glad as well because it still can be difficult to have enough room to lock up the bikes in certain situations. I think the step through also makes it a bit more difficult. Recommend the locks for sure!
Do you suggest an extra battery?
I think the average rider would be fine with the 40 plus mile range on a single battery. Plus, they are about $549 for an extra battery so you have to consider that. Bringing your charger with you to charge up at lunch might be a good option too. So far we have been good with just the one battery!
is it possible to buy an extra battery to carry for back up?
Yes you can! But, they are kinda pricey at $549!😳
@@IreneIronTravels ohh wow
Can you charge the bikes on the down hills?
Hello. There a couple of ebike brands that can do that, but these do not.
It looks like these models of Rad Power Bikes have that capability.
Regenerative braking is a feature that recharges the battery when the brakes are applied. All Rad Power Bikes ebikes with a direct drive motor have this feature. The RadCity 4, RadCity Step-Thru 3, and RadWagon 3 have a direct drive motor that allows for regenerative braking.
Mechanical doping
😂 Haven't heard this one yet!
Wait what? You can't ride these dead bikes up a hill. No gearing? WTF? That =a big fail in my opinion. Thanks for the review of the pos e bikes.
I'm curious why you didn't mention the incredible amount of deranged homeless population in SF? Maybe you forgot to mention how incredibly dirty and run down everything is in that town? Yeah I get it you want to keep the image of being positive loving people but lets be honest to your viewers. Come on be honest now stop lying to everyone. Yes SF is a beautiful city but with some very serious issues that need to be addressed by it's irresponsible politicians running that town into the ground. Honest opinions not some made up fairytale story made for youtube views please.
why don't you make a channel talking about all the homelessness? Why don't you invest the time and money to create videos that align with your position in life?
Good morning. The ebikes have a 7 speed derailleur. That was me in the lowest gear on a 70lb fat tire bike at the end of a 50 mile bike ride.
The reason we didn't mention the homelessness in SF is because we really didn't see that much of it. Maybe we were in the wrong areas, but we covered about 90 miles of the city. SF is far from cities like NYC, LA, and Seattle. I am not saying there isn't a homeless problem, but I am saying we are "not lying to everyone" . Maybe there are other SF CZcams videos out there if you want to search for them to find what you are looking for. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for watching Remy, appreciate it. 😃
