Repacking My Crosstrek for New Adventures
Thx for this tip. I just ordered.
Nice! It’s worth it.
Congrats on getting the bonus!
Thanks!
Nice update. Put in the work hours, and you’ll be debt free in no time!
I hope so!
20 degrees, that’s warm. Here in winter it can get -9
Yeah, I’m glad it doesn’t get that cold around here.
are all your belongings in storage
Yes. They were anyways. I found a cheap unit in the middle of nowhere and used that for years.
Oдин piздёж
Good to see you back, Colin. Hope all is well. I’m going to refer back to so many of your videos when I get a bike. Your reviews are so thorough!
Thanks! It will be interesting to see what bike you get!
🙂✌
😎
have you already tested the maximum autonomy with electric motors only, what was the distance obtained?
I did not attempt that with this bike. I sold it since I did this review but I can tell you the range wouldn’t be very much.
Throwing your car in nuetral with the heat on blowing is no problem at all so long as your gas is full and your emergency brake on done. I have done it 1000's of times in winter in CHICAGO
Exactly! I maintain my ebrake so it’s no big deal.
Thanks for the review. Might pick one up
Nice!
i bought this bike after seeing your video should i call them for your affilate fee,,,,,but cant set speed past 5 & dont see any instructions or videos,,only goes 25mph
Chang the settings
Sorry about the late reply. Don’t worry about the affiliate fee. I probably got it if you clicked the link. Sounds like a programming issue. You can use either the app or the control pad to change the settings. If you email Burchda they can probably help you out. I’ve had good luck communicating with them that way. I do think that 28 is the actual top speed of my bike even with the speed limit removed. It doesn’t have enough power to go much faster. Depending on the weight you’re trying to carry and weather conditions, it could be that 25 is the top speed for you. I’d send a message to Burchda though and see what they say about the programming.
Can i charge the battery by taiking out of the bicycle?
Yes!
Your videos about the R5 are very informative. I’m looking for a commuter bike (14 miles round trip) and I’m leaning towards this. Are you still enjoying the bike and is it holding up well?
Nice! This bike has been great for my commute. I have close to 600miles on it now and it has just needed routine maintenance. I’ll probably need new brake pads soon but I have a hilly commute so that’s not surprising. The mirrors aren’t great but they’re also no worse than when they were new.
lov this bike!! looks great sporty & frkn folds in half!!! great TOUR video too!! Where were you rideing brother
Thanks! That mostly in the green river valley just south of Seattle.
Hi! I love car camping, and this is the first video of yours that I've come across. I really enjoy videos like these, so I subbed. I'm on summer break, and I'm going to enjoy the rest of your videos now. Thank you for sharing how you make everything work for you!
Thanks!
I just got one of these and I cannot figure out how the mirrors go on solid. It keeps drooping and moving without me touching it 😂😢
If you tighten all the screws and bolts, it will stay in place for a few rides. I’m tired of it too though so I’m replacing them.
This 80 year old adventurer has been road tripping like you for 15 years now. Recently someone rear ended my faithful Vibe. I just got a Crosstrek and I have returned from a short road trip, Vancouver B C to Boise, Idaho. The seats are very comfortable . I really appreciate the adaptive cruise control and 35 mpg. Maybe my Subastian del Camino, is the perfect RV. Bon voage Colin. George Paget
That’s great! I really liked the Vibe/Matrix. I had a roommate with one and it was similar to the Crosstrek in a lot of ways. Aren’t too many left that haven’t been driven into the ground.
good video Colin when i get out on mine i'll have to do a similar video and hope i'm not killed :P having the spare battery is the way to go i will also buy a spare 41 miles is good going
I care about the light might come in handy at night lol good vid as usual man
Thanks! It seems like everything has a light and USB charger these days. I guess it could be useful in an emergency.
I enjoyed it. Thank you.
Is that your own music? Nice drive , sorry you couldn’t get through.
Yes! It’s Ravel’s Le Tombeau de Couperin. It’s from an album I put out years ago.
Would like to see summer camping gadgets to beat the heat thanks otherwise great review
About the only thing I can afford right now might be a fan. If someone wanted to send me an EcoFlow WAVE 2, I would definitely review that!
Nice, would love to see more vlogs.
I’ll have another vlog coming out sometime later this week.
Couldn't you just turn the mirrors to the underside of the handlebar? I guess if they're not articulating mirrors than it wouldn't be feasible, but it' worth a try.
I suppose that’s possible…not sure how visible they would be down there but I might look into that.
Colin where did you buy the basket? and the mirrors? do you have a link
The mirrors came with the bike. I bought the basket from Burchda with the bike. www.burchdabikes.com/products/rear-storage-basket?ref=colinadventures
ok thanks for that! i will have to order those
хотел спросить вас не подскажете эта батарея от burchda R5PRO подойдёт ли к электровелосипеду Ridstar H26pro???они вроде полностью одинаковые,спасибо за ответ и желаю вам безопасные поездки
Most likely, yes! This exact bike is sold under a few different names and that looks like the exact same bike with the same specs. Obviously there is some risk they might not be the same but I bet the battery and other accessories from Burchda would work.
Hey Colin, I stumbled on your videos looking for some parts for my Subaru and browsed around your channel and I have just got a glimpse of your life and what's going on and what your doing, I just want to pray for you man. I love what you're doing and I love your heart. Father I pray for Colin, Lord give him the desires of his heart, I can see that he wants to change his life dramatically and better his life and that he wants to be financially free. I pray that Colin would have more than enough finances to keep his Subaru Crosstrek, Let money come into his hands unexpectedly, Checks in the mail, Gifts and Surprises that ALL of his dept would be paid off. I pray that the struggle to survive would be gone . That he is not alone! I also pray for his dad that he would be completely healed from whatever he is going through. I pray that Colins life would go the way he wants it and that opportunities would arise! God you see his humble working heart. Do not give up man, You have a heart that is so resilient. I pray God that you would bless the boat projects that Colin is working on. That all is work and effort is going somewhere! that it is not Void! I pray that anything that is trying to stop you will go! and would be made low! so that you can get through this dept so you can be free to do what you need to do! I pray all of this in Jesus name. I'm excited for you man! and I'm rooting for you!
Thanks! I really appreciate it!
I am choosing between a 33qt and 42qt dual zone alpicool. Am I buying a fridge that is too big for one person?
Just depends on how often you want to go grocery shopping! The fridge I have is barely enough for one person. If you have the room, the ones you’re looking at are probably a better option.
We’ve looked into getting a meal plan before but weren’t sure how worth it it would be. Looked like some really good stuff in there. I love watching your videos and seeing all the improvements you make to your life!
Thanks! Yeah, I’ve done produce boxes and CSAs in the past but this is my first meal kit. I think it’s worth it if you‘re really short on time. I have to say, I’ve definitely lost some weight as well. Not sure what the grocery stores around you are like but the food is definitely higher quality and more reasonably priced than what most stores have. If you actually have time to cook, I think CSAs are by far the best option.
My husband is taking his hazmat test too. Any suggestions? Is it easy?
It’s not difficult. Once you’ve taken the required course, it’s just a matter of finding all the practice tests you can. The background check took about 4 months for me so trying to remember everything after waiting so long was the biggest challenge.
Thank you. He took many practice tests. Nice computer set up too.
Thanks for the real world data
No problem. Thanks for watching!
Been seeing this on amazon finally i have an idea of the size of it
A solution for the USB to stop it being damaged would be to use a short USB extension cable, so it only ever gets plugged in once.
Great idea! I should have done that.
Great video! Thanks so much for sharing. That was a gorgeous view of the sunrise by the way!
Thanks! And thanks for the installation! I use that receiver every weekend!
Thanks for the review! Loving your content!
Thanks!
This company should sponsor you! What a thorough review. Also, this video was sooooo relaxing. The beautiful music with the beautiful sceneries put me at ease.
Thanks! I’ve actually had a couple companies reach out recently. We’ll see if anything happens with it but it’s a positive sign.
That’s crazy!!!!
Indeed!
Wow 1st time seeing this bike, looks great like the range. Great video!! Beautiful route
Made a mini explosion inside of mine trying to many times 💀
I could definitely see how that might happen. Not the easiest thing to light.
thanks for sharing I use my ebike for everything 1400 miles in the first year looking to upgrade to one with fat tires and a 500 watt motor.
Nice! They’re very handy and I fat tires help a lot more than I thought they would.
Hello Colin I checked out your UA-cam channel and found your content very nice and thumbnail construction perfect. But the problem is that you have not SEO your video properly due to which your video is not getting more views. If you do video SEO your video will be on the top of the search list and your audience will increase. I also noticed that your video tag is not using SEO keywords, the title-description-tag is not SEO friendly, and the channel tag is not being used correctly. I can fix these if you want. And I will SEO your videos to reach your real audience.
I also liked the headlight on it that was a standout for me makes it look like a klnd of motorcycle from the 50's
Yes! Love that headlight!
I bought the bike at Christmas but have not even assembled it yet still in the box it came in
Starting to warm up outside… might be time…
That’s Inspiring! Have a lovely weekend!
Thanks! You too!
How does a car cost almost $1,000 a month?? Unless you bought or leased a $80k+ car
Good question! I shortened the length of financing as much as possible. Also, the financing only accounts for $700 of $1000. The remainder is other operating expenses like fuel, insurance, and maintenance.
You have cool projects you work on. I wish I was your neighbor and seeing all the cool stuff first hand. You're a good guy Colin. A diamond in the ruff so to speak. I still think this channel will grow big. You have a great personality and need keep being consistent and you will get to that million sub count
Thanks! I really appreciate that!
Hope you are doing well Colin. I like your videos. Always have. Believe it or not sometimes a boring bike ride is what people want to see. Remember not all landscapes of the world look the same and climate can be very different. The Pacific Northwest here is blessed being we get so much rain and everything is so green. Truth is sometimes I look for the boring city bike ride just to see what the town looks like and how people behave on the roads
True! I’ll have another chance to film that video next week. I think it should be interesting.
@@ColinAdventures awesome. Even if after you are done recording it and when you review the video. If you think it needs more just do a little voice over explaining the location every sees and maybe a little history of that part of the state. But you do hood bideos. Even if you think they might be a bit boring. I think many will still be entertained and find it interesting
Colin, CONGRATS ON 1K SUBSCRIBERS!!!! Woohoo!!! Get that monetization!
Thanks! Not quite there with the watch hours. I’ll probably have to post more to get there but I’m close!
Thanks
