  • Having not ridden a bike for over 40 YEARS! Will it all go wrong?
    We also take you around The Wildlands in beautiful rural central Portugal where we live off the grid for a tour by e bike of the fabulous scenery. We take the Eleglide M1 Plus out for a test drive and we get the drone out. Does it all go wrong AND what do we think?
    THANKS FOR WATCHING! :)

    As a Dutchie not being on a bike for so long is really unthinkable 😂 The longest I have not been on a bike is a month after the birth of our children. Since 5 years I have an e-bike and I love it. Biking to work is 18km one way, so the e-bike is great.

    I think you will soon be contacted by crocs as you can promote their range of "cycling crocs" 😂😂
    I think for those of us who like doing a bit of exercise, but just don't have the legs for cycling, assisted bikes are the way to go.
    A mudguard will also be good if you don't want a mud splattered back!

    • @TheWildlandersOffGrid

      Would love a croc sponsorship 🤣
      And the assisted pedlling is great! Made the hills a breeze 😀🚲

    Great fun on the bike, well done after all the years of not riding. Had to dig up all the lavender plants because they went woody & died, so was wondering how the lavender cuttings were doing & the best way to replant some more, they are a beautiful plant & the insects love them, especially the bees. Have a great week, L&L

    • @TheWildlandersOffGrid
      @TheWildlandersOffGrid  Рік тому +1

      Was surprisingly fun!
      You can try cutting the laveders right back but they really only stay looking nice and full with watering. Sadly not so good on the cuttings 😕 only had 2 that after potting on made it to a decent plant.... I think its just too hot in the greenhouse will retry outside as other softwood cuttibgs have done better.

    Get a trailer - a single wheel trailer would work really well with these bikes, great for the dogs, picnics and shopping and much more stable and big g we than a basket.

      Be lovely to all go for rides especially round the tracks .... Not sure Rosie would be up for it ! But it's great to get to a few friends for a beer and not half to walk home !

    On the plus side, they look like a lot of fun and can get you about quite easily. Then there's also the fact they can be charged up free with solar. The not so plus is that Klaus and Billy will have us all riding them, like it or not if we don't have electric cars.

    • @TheWildlandersOffGrid
      @TheWildlandersOffGrid  Рік тому +2

      Yes quite fun, great for getting to and from a friend for a few beers 🤣 klaus is strangely still using his jet.... Expect he doesn't much like us rebellious types 😅

    Sorry to mention but your shortlink for the ebike gives a 404 error.. I saw another vlogger and she had a Cyrusher Kuatro with bigger tires to put to test, I like it because it seems more stable for me but it's a bit expensive😅 But your bikes look great and you have a lot of fun with it.. enjoy🚴🚴‍♀

    • @TheWildlandersOffGrid

      Thanks for letting us know will fix it, was direct from eleglide. Think for a fairly budget bike it's very nice and the e part is fantastic 🚲

    What a great review! We loved seeing how much fun you both had riding it around, and how easy it was for you both, despite not having ridden a bike in so long. Once we find a property, we are definitely getting e-bikes! 🙌🏽
