#BikesandBeards
I love the effort and comical value u put in to your videos Sean.
thanks mark
@@BikesandBeards are you aware there is someone messegeing people ablout winning things??? i got my hopes worked up for nothing.....
I agree with you about having gears with electric motors is something manufacturers are missing the point on. I've built a single speed electric pocket bike that could hit 40 mph eventually and now I have a 6 speed ebike that can only go 20 ish without pedaling but being able to change gears doesn't overcome my battery trying to go up hills
@CryptoCrusader33 yes I can, they are both 48v systems that use 18650 lithium ion cells, only difference is my pocket bike is 20 aH and the ebike is 10 aH. I can ride the pocket bike for hours as long as I stay away from the hills which will overload the bms if I don't let off the throttle, if I had a two speed transmission that was good for hills and flat it would be perfect
@@oddojagginsupgrade your bms:)
@@oddojagginsmake sure your cells don’t sag down to much
I've actually worked on one of these motorcycles. Despite all the cells testing fine outside the bike, the BMS refused to allow the controller to activate. Very frustrating to work on when all the dealer tools can't be used anymore. Eventually I had to give it back to the owner, and as far as I know it's still sitting in his garage if anyone else wants to take a crack at it. (In Miami).
I wonder how much they would let it go for.
A mate of mine had one and had a fault where the 12v side was fine but nothing form the HV side. Turned out to be a sticking contactor. No idea if that helps.
@@siraff4461 nope, had error messages on the dash for a cell fault. Contactor tested fine.
@@marsrover001 Thats a shame. I suppose this is one of the problems with tech not many people are used to. Its hard to find many people who have enough in depth knowledge to be able to properly diagnose it.
Same thing happened with fuel injection, emissions devices and most new stuff that isn't just obvious. I just wait until things have had a chance to mature so someone else gets the headaches.
Needs a new controller or BMS most likely, I'd start with the BMS, cheaper...If you could find one, which I doubt, but you could make a different one work, same with the controller...
sean I think this one of your best videos in terms of creatively capturing our attention with funny and engaging activities! Nice one bro. I love your channel and watch it all the time since I started riding
What's up Sean, I literally binge watch your videos, they never get old. The best motorcycle channel out there. You and Craig helped me learn a lot more about bikes that I didn't know. Thank you guys so much and may God bless you today tomorrow and everyday after!
No way really? Omg that's absolutely insane
Thank you so much Sean you are awesome on so many levels
I can't stop smiling😄😄😄😄 I'm sooo incredibly happy. I cannot believe this is happening to me.
That bike actually got my interest, proving your point on how they get it. Videos are getting funnier every episode, love the content.
Comedy style in your videos is unrivalled. 😂
The last two minutes of this video has to be some of the most convoluted material I have EVER seen on this channel... and I loved it!
Awesome. I needed this after the Thanksgiving holiday, My most sincere Thank you.
1:57 man! If “Geek Squad” parks as bad as that, heck no would I want them “fixing” my computer! 😂
Ok, next week he will start a new channel "Bikes and Kittens" 😹
You and Craig have tons of fun!!! What an awesome life!!! yall get to ride whatever bikes you want!! I'm jealous and happy for yall at the same time!!! 🤣🤣
Love the video! The montage was hilarious as always. I actually want one of these. I dont even care about the parts being virtually non existent. I would just fabricate or retrofit whatever I could. This bike is sweet! It's not always about speed! You know this lol. Have a blessed day!
I have been around since just over 100k subs and you guys are almost to 1.5 million!!! Good job fellas.
Sean, you are getting better and better making these videos! I enjoy them!
i know they are starting to put charging stations everywhere but i still choose a gasser over a electric, you dont waite but maybe a couple mins and your on the road again, the only benefit to a electric is lower maintenance at first.. but a gasser 9 times out of 10 can be rebuilt with readily available parts.. most electrics you cant
That montage at the end just brought a huge grin to my face. Awesome content at always ✌
Your humor and editing skills are exceptional. One of my favorite videos so far. Why do you live so darn far away from me? Do you and Craig like Sushi?
it's also great to see how you promote wearing correct motorcycle gear when riding
This is the first time I have seen your videos and have to say that I loved it. Truly amazing stuff man keep the videos coming
Craigs a Phish man?! I always find new reasons to like this guy even more.
Craig likes Phish, this channel just keeps getting better !
I love this channel, it just gets better and funnier & more informative with each upload.......
These playful and joyful videos will put a smile any everyone’s face who watches this video
Lol the bundt cake during the tablecloth test was a nice touch!
I love the amount of comedy in your videos! keep it up guys, thanks for the great content!
What motorcycle should I start out with? The last year has been horrible and need something to get my mind off stuff. It's on a budget too.
If you've never been on a bike or if you HATE them, you'll love this content. Sean and Craig are absolute gold.
That part on the way back was funny! Thanks for the video.
Hahahha. Craig rolls in with a Shoei hoodie, and no helmet😂 you’re killin me!!
Loved the fight screen. Epic!! 😂😂😂
Really enjoy your videos with Craig. Hope you and your family had an great Thanksgiving!!!
This video make my day, thank you so much for this!
That chocolate bar scene killed me!💀🤣🤣
Great video. Very fun to watch you two goofing around.
Getting killed by an angry mob of small children, classic Craig.
Consistently one of the best, most fun UA-cam channels. You guys are killing it
@bikesandbeards Polaris sold the Brammo Empulse assets to Cummins, and is now called Cummins Battery Systems of Talent OR. This is why you wont find Empulse parts at Victory and Indian dealers, techically you'd have to message Cummins directly.
Favorite UA-cam channel of all time. I watch every vid. Thanks for the awesome content!
I don't watch all of your videos but when I do, I am always entertained. I don't even own a bike anymore. Well, I converted an old steel trail Huffy into an e-bike decades ago and it still runs. Does about 20mph. Love the looks people give me when I'm riding uphill without pedaling. My favorite bike I owned was my 85 Honda Interceptor. I lived in Florida then so that may have contributed to all the great memories, but it was a great bike. Thanks for all the effort you guys put into your art.
I really enjoy the goofy fights and taking the declaration lol
We all do when ever we ride
You guys really changed my life with your videos, you guys brought me to believing in God and out of depression. I love you guys
best videos of youtube, thanks sean! greetings from finland!
I live in Southern Oregon not very far from Ashland, Talent areas, so when I heard the name Brammo I got a little excited. They started their bike thing in Talent, Oregon and have sadly turned their manufacturing equipment over to Cummins. I don’t know if this means they went out of business, or if they’re sharing tech. Either way, it’s good to see entrepreneurs putting little places on the map too.
I read in 2021, they're working with PACAR (Peterbilt/Kenworth) on a Hybrid to compete with Daimler/Benz, and of course Volvo.
Grew up in Oregon City, i love hearing stuff like this! thanks for that info
hey random thing here, My family used to own Big Al's in Ashland back in the late 90s. Think its still there with the same menu and everything. you should check it out if you haven't already lol.
They ran out of Talent.
Eureka CA here…
This bike actually makes sense. More people should sell e bikes with transmissions
Got to love the instant "torque" on the thunder fed motorcycle...
Oh wait. That's the baby seal killer pulling away. The one you can get parts for.
That montage was hilarious!😂😂
Finally Craig is riding the faster bike
Personally I’m always looking for this exact bike… I think it’s one of the best looking in the world. I might get the Brammo branded one.
Man, I just really enjoyed this video.
The way that ring light your glasses at about 9:18 lol, you looked like a possum!
Great video man!
Watching these videos makes me miss my bike.
I actually got to work on one of these exact bikes a few months ago from auction. Someone at the auction house unplugged the motor temperature sensor that was bad and throwing a code, causing the water pump to run constantly but no longer showing a code (bike just assumed the motor temp was like 500 degrees Fahrenheit). I looked up a new motor temp sensor on the parts diagram, and you have to replace the entire motor assembly, it is not available as a separate component. We were worried the ESC (or motor controller, whatever you want to call it) would not be able to limit motor current based on temperature even if the cooling system was running, and decided it was in our best interest to send the bike back to auction with issues disclosed. Maybe the bike would have been ok to ride but I didn't know.
Thank you guys for the laughs and overall entertainment
We need more CR KX RM YZ ENGINE SWAPS, everyone loves a two stroke powerhouse crammed into an old slow 4 banger.
9:02 tablecloth test:
1. find a very slippery and lightweight tablecloth
2. don't let the far end hang of the tables edge
3. use heavier tableware
4. polish the contact surfaces of the tableware
BMW will definitely have used some of the those improvements to get as close to the perfect physics as possible.
Great video as always! Hope and pray all of you guys and your families had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Craig finally won a race!
Comedic natural, awesome duo and in general a good entertaining channel👏
SO COOL SO FUN. LIFE SHOULD BE THIS WAY ALWAYS.
I use to have a pair of gloves exactly like the ones you have on. LOL, Lots of love...well, LOL, Lots of laughs too. People hate it when... Never mind, Nice bike!
One of your best videos, and the bike was really interesting, keep it up!
Great video as always boys. I had no idea Victory made an electric bike. I'm a huge Indian fan - currently ride a Challenger - and now I kinda feel like it's a law that I find one of these. Good stuff!
love to see you and craig having the usual fun! Much love❤
I rode one of these at a victory demo day in erie pa. I was super disappointed by the acceleration, but your right, they did near the fact that it had a clutch and gear box was great. Overall I think they missed the fun factor on the bike. I had an FJ-09 at the time, and the yamaha triple motor was just so much more fun for half the price.
You could probably pay someone to build you a new battery for that with better, modern cells for cheaper than the (not actually stocked) replacement battery that will also give you more range and possibly more power.
This is the first video I've watched on this channel. FREAKIN HILARIOUS! Informative and funny!! Loved it!!!
10:30 Completely predictable, yet I still laughed.
The Road Home montage was also one of the cleverest and funniest yet. The only way it could’ve been more entertaining would’ve been if @Bikes and Beards @SRKcycles did it on the *DESTROYYYERRR* 🏍 🚓💨
The cool thing about the e-Bike community & group rides is that there's SUCH A RANGE of fighting different walks of life, from every race, educational background & financial status, but we're all brought together for our passion of e-Bikes, even all ages kicking it together, it's a WHOLE VIBE!! 💯👍
Love your videos. Keep up the great work.
Buy the all new Ultraviolette 77 from India. It'll blow your mind.
So Sean, please do a comparison of mileage in one gear (2nd or 3rd for example) to see if shifting through the gears costs you total mileage. I’ve always wondered why their wasn’t an overall final gear overdrive ratio adjustment like the old Austin Healy cars had… so did my little Dodge Colt (Mitsubishi) twin stick… thanks for the video
Electric not for me... the bike Craig was riding.. heck yeah!!!
👍🐾🍻
electric bike having a traditional gearbox attached to it's motor is something that I would like to see in future on basic electric cars. When the time comes that I have to give up the combustion engine car just because just owning it becomes so expensive thanks to taxes and tree huggers, I do want a traditional manual transmission for my electric car too
Awesome, hilarious video! What jacket was Sean wearing?
I’d definitely buy one of those! Just lost my motorcycle unfortunately, not sure what it’ll be to fix 😢😢😢
The clutch and gearbox make the electric motor more efficient that's great!
I don't think it does, it may actually create a loss for efficiency BUT it's more fun and that's what matters
@@justauser Electric motors like low load and high RPM's, so a gear box does make is more efficient. The fun is a total bonus
As an EE that works with electric drives I can say the biggest reason you don't see many EV's with gear box's is because if you aren't very careful you can easily destroy the thing with instantaneous torque or burn the clutch. Its much easier to fix the motor to the wheels and limit the continuous torque then try to control the motor speed as your changing gears. Also electric motors have much better torque/power curves then ICE making them perfectly suited to direct drive. I do hope to see improvements in this as it makes no sense to equip every car on the street with oversized motors/inverters when a gearbox can allow a smaller motor to do the same job, honestly most people don't need 4 second cars.
Can you get bigger battery and better motors for it?
Sticking with the candy theme, take a ride to Altoona and get a Clark bar or a Mallow cup. You can check out our local Harley shop while in town and see what deals they have on some trade ins.
PHISH!!! Yeah Craig🤜
Your videos always lift my spirits and make me laugh more than a bag of weed and a six pack of beer ever could!
This video was funnier than usual!!
great work guys. This video was a really good laugh. thoroughly enjoyed it.
Sidenote- I bought thr sane color Snap-On KRL cabinet..ya know, cuz you have the best taste...in life/general lol. All the love from Fox Chaoel,PA. Happy belated Thanksgiving fellas + ladies
I was wondering what happened to those I was interested because you could shift it but they vanished. 690 Duke is a favorite of mine alway wanted one. 390’s are fun too
Guys, that was one damned fine fun video, love your work!
Thanks
Happy Thanksgiving Seany Rivers, Family and Crew! This video was funner than I thought it would be! Got me chucklin" coupla times🤣 God Bless!🙏🙏🙏
BEST VIDEO TO DATE!!! SO MANY..LOLZ.. THANKS GUYS!
I bet the Damon would be a good contender for the tablecloth test
Thanks guys another informative video. That bar of chocolate, My granddaughter bought me a Cadburys bar that size a couple of years ago, took me ages to finish it, how long did yours last lol. Also do you ship your T/shirts to the UK.
Horwin in the UK been making geared electric motorcycles since 2019 and Ovao bikes in Europe been making them long time also 🤷🏾♂️
I'm not going to lie. All I am thinking about is the Destroyer. What was this video about again? Lol. Nice pig drawing btw.
cool u got a great camera man📷
BTW - Victory revised their 10 year support to 10 years of the model year. In 2019, I couldn't find some needed parts for my 2006 Vegas.
Ohhhh
Speaking of Jay Leno, very sad what happened to him recently.
🙏 Preying for a speedy recovery..
I think you should try the table cloth test again with one modification to the attachment. Rather than tying the table cloth at one point in the middle, try adding a dowel the width of the table cloth. That would more evenly distribute the pull under the dishes. Tie it like a water skiing rope handle. That'd do it.
Even with that modification it is impossible to do, mythbusters took their take on the ad and found out, that BMW faked it using sheets of plastic on which the dishes were placed.
He's being goofy, it's just for fun.
I'm guessing the battery is shot on that Brammo.
You could always get the battery rebuilt, tested first and then rebuilt by a battery builder, pretty much making it almost like brand new, even updating the cells to something better, which might give better speed and will give better range.
14:26 so cool i love when adult people have fun like smal kids!! You made my sunday morning! When you have a Solar Station on the roof from your home, where you can load the e-bike for "nothing" and the way to your work is not more like 50km.away from you,its a perfect idea, you drive for free to your work,you can load in your job over the day,you have in the evening a full load bike, for the great fun on weekend, i need to drive a Yamaha R1!! Sorry for my bad english best wish Reiner from Germany
This is very educational, I've always wondered where babies were made.
Yep the kissing tower
