Snowstorm - Riding an eBike in Freezing Temperatures

- The northeast finally got its first snowstorm of the season. Join as we ride our ebikes in freezing temperatures and off-road in the snow.
The onyx rcr has slick street tires and was having problems riding in these winter conditions.
My custom 72 volt ebike has super moto tires and faired a lot better in the snowy weather.

I rode in a snow blizzard 2 miles in Chicago, I had to get home and my storage was closed, I rode slow and with my feet down so I had better balance and didn’t fall I mainly rode in the middle of the street where the tire racks were plus I got a wider tire on a 27.5 inch front tire that got good traction and my rear huh motor is 1200 watt I made it in about 25 minutes
Man if i lived in the snow again I would definitely get some studded tires and just have some fun
Had some fun last winter riding my BBSHD full suspension bike in the snow ❄️. Crashed it in a ditch earlier in the summer breaking my collarbone pretty bad. Still healing ❤️🩹 so taking a pass on snow riding this winter. Stay safe!
Sent in upload of my bike and the progression of each upgrade I’ve made to it. 👍
Looks like fun, and commiting to doing this w my 1500w DIY. Nice to meet y'all, I recently posted my bike on my channel if you are still doing reviews. Thanks!
I've definitely found your videos enjoyable man. Keep it up
Glad you like them!
@@NPLVentures absolutely! I'm gonna upload my work in progress to maybe get some info for you... im working with an odd frame so its a challenge, but thinking of shunting my controller to get a better accel. Its a 48v 1kw
Great idea with the custom build reviews!
Fat Tires for bikes are like Snow tires for cars. Fat Tires are made for the snow and have awesome control in those conditions.
Great 😊 aha that is awesome 👍👍👍 another great video buddy
Just uploaded my ebike in the submission form aha
Thanks 👍
@@NPLVentures uploaded my ebike in to submission form hopefully comes out okay buddy 😆 thanks for brining us amazing ebike content
Great video.. hopefully get to try my fat tire bike in the snow! Looked a little hairy.. lol cool idea on builds.. mine is close...cant wait for summer! Have some fat tires like to try in snow.. but we get ice.. lol God bless
Everyone is saying you need awd, but specifically, you gotta have front wheel throttle separate from rear throttle like how citizen cycle does on his custom ebike. Then you can use like 80% rear throttle 20% front throttle or whatever. And since hub motors w no gears, leave the electronic shifter for the front throttle at PAS 1 and the right throttle on PAS 2 hold them both down and youll be crusing w a good front to rear throttle ratio without thinking too hard?
Been thinking about this myself!
Interesting how many accidental advantages these ramshackle DIY bikes have over the flash looking premade ones. The heavier frame probably was causing the Onyx to give out.
I've realized how much of an advantage a light weight bike is
Did you ever make a video or anything about other people's builds or is it still open to adding builds for you to do it? I love your content and hope you continue to share and make videos.
May I ask what was the coldest you've been able to run in?
I’m late on the upload of my bike lol😂
Yes get a sur ron,
Onyx Lower tire pressure
If you get a Suron save some cash because you'll have to upgrade everything.I like them but l would only buy the frame and motor.
Front hub motor would have came in handy
Front hub and peddling would have gave you all wheel drive 😉
Front hub is just about unusable in the snow, all wheel drive pretty useless too, good rear wheel fat tyre bike is the way to go (lower psi try 25% lower to start). For extra traction wrapping nylon rope around drive wheel (or front and rear) will try to add link to show how good this is.

how much does your ebike weigh?
Tyre width? front? rear?
what tyre pressure did you run at?
Would love to know this
about 75 pounds, 2.8 inch wide tires
That's becase your buddy isn't pedaling.
4:30 Когда вы уже перейдёте на нормальные метрические единицы. Которые приняты во всём мире. Какие к чёрту мили. Морские?
WTF IS WRONG W/ YOU¿! 😱😭🥶
😂
There's no way I'd ride in the snow, you're just asking to slide out and low end on every turn.... LoL
Edit: That's a cool idea to get us in on your videos.... That's awesome and I was thinking about starting a CZcams channel and shooting a bunch of videos on my Razor Mx650 as I go from 48v 2000w to 72v 6000w, you might be getting a submission from me some time this spring. 😁
Can't wait to feature it 👍🏻
@@NPLVentures - Can't wait to save up enough and buy it.... I'm hoping to be able to get it registered in PA as a "small displacement" moped but that might be a little bit of a hassle but totally worth it. 😁
Need all wheel drive
