    Something to consider purchasing is better tent staves. I have been using these for decades. I used to be involved in a medieval reenactment and had a huge tall canvas "circus tent" One storm most of them went down, mine didn't because of the stakes they look like these...seems to be harder to find. My first set were clearly made by hand but put in at a 45' angle, these guys hold real well. I use 2 at each corner of my awning they hold very well and to pull them out without killing yourself, pull them out at the angle, not straight up :) I am almost done with my 2010 Transit Connect Build, I have a 2020 Montague Paratrooper mountain bike that was designed for paratroopers because it folds. I designed my van build so the bike will fit nicely between the couch and galley while driving. I bought a Bafang 1000 watt mid drive motor (with an extended 2 year warranty off of Amazon, so at least if it dies I will get the money back to buy a new one) and a 52v 23.1 amp battery that will go on the back rack. I do leather work, so will build a nice bag that the battery can fit into and also carry some tools, just need to design how it will stay in place. I had a back injury at my last job and I am now disabled(still waiting for the Fed Govt to approve it, takes years sadly). I loved camping and exploring in nature so that's why I am doing what I do. Happy Travel's

    Thanks, Steve. You gave me a great idea with this video to just do day trips into remote areas near my home just for a few hours! I could have a picnic, take a hike, ride my bike, read a book or whatever, in peace and solitude. Then, I'd be home later so my family wouldn't worry. I definitely need to do that. Thanks for the video and idea!

  • @scanalyst492
    @scanalyst492 3 роки тому

    Great video as always. At this time in the development of electric bikes I think it’s better to build the bike yourself from a kit. That way you’ll know how to service the bike. Also, most pedal assists bikes are getting upgrades every year but still lack real power. I have a Specialized Enduro twenty niner with the EGO kit which produces 2,400 watts of power and uses a throttle rather than pedal assist. Most pedal assist bikes only have 250 watts of power. I think you would be better served with a more powerful, more rugged and more capable electric bike given then environment we live and play in. For the desert surrounding Las Vegas you need more power, more suspension travel, and more range.

Bike tracks were found in the sand with Coyote tracks in hot pursuit. We just hope his battery lasts longer than the Coyotes in pursuit! Good luck Xplorer Steve! 🐺

    Love your e-bike. If you ever use the CO2 inflator, remember that the gas cartridge will become frostbite cold. Use a glove or other insulator to protect your hand. And, CO2 will leak from a bike inner tube faster than air. When convenient bleed the CO2 from your tire and inflate the tire with air.

    I've put over 1500 miles on my RadCity ST and I would recommend mine to almost any one. It's affordable and good quality. They were in so high demand I had to try several times to get the order in back in 2018. I've modded mine to haul lots of groceries and it gets me in and out of downtown faster than a car during rushhour. I really couldn't ask for anything more.

      @@XplorerSteveDIY Really? I never really looked at anything else besides the sur ron but because of the full suspension on it they didn't have any rear baskets available and I knew I wanted to use it for hauling. If I were in your shoes I would look at something like the sur ron because you can legally get more power for offroad use while 750 watts is the legal limit for on road use.

    Just a suggestion to look into (depends on the rims) setting your cycle tires up as “tubeless”.
    It would make your tires less prone to flats and would actually lighten the bike up a bit.

    Since the government in British Columbia is offering a $2000 rebate on street legal electric motorcycles I'm discovering a lot of these products are of questionable quality and often their range claims are highly inflated. I'd assume the marketplace would find one manufacturer who could eventually be a product leader in this category.

    Steve I always questioned the tires on these E-bikes because they kind of reminded me of like the Go-Cart tires that would go flat a lot and the ply was thin so easy to slice on a sharp rock. As far as the wilderness out on my own one good open knife and of course one 9mm and I don't have to worry about too many coyotes and crazy-ass humans. And today your chance is better that it will be a crazy-ass human than a coyote.
