  • @lindawoody8501
    @lindawoody8501 2 роки тому +1

    I am so happy for your about your nifty bike carrier! Also the idea of the Bluetti mini battery to take on the back of your e-bike is a great one. The Grand Canyon is beautiful as is the surrounding forest. I have been in the same area you feature a few times. Thanks for sharing the fun and beauty. I also noticed you did not have any trouble going over the cattle grate in the roadway on the e-bike.

    I agree with you. That looks like a great spot. Thanks for the heads up. I didn’t know of that area. I have had to stay at 10x and the ridiculous Bedrock campground (don’t know if it’s even there anymore) in the past during the crowded summer season. Not a fan of Mather but I do like Desert View. The only thing I like about Mather is it’s so convenient. Look forward to seeing more from the S Rim. I’ve taken a dozen people across to the north rim and back by foot including my wife. But I haven’t been past the first tunnel on Bright Angle for quite some time. Hopefully next year that will all change.

    Russ, that was my idea about the 2nd battery charger to take with you while on your electric bike. When electric bikes first came out, that way you always have power. You're the first person get it. :)

    Very cool video Russ, love the setup on the XP, I did the same but I mounted a small gas generator to my XP, it's like 1800 watts and only added 42lbs more to the bike. If I keep my speeds under 18 mph, the generator keeps the battery topped off. With this setup I can ride almost 200 miles before I have to refuel the generator.

    Glad to see you really rode the bike. You'll likely never need to take small Bluetti battery box. Just recharge with it when done riding.

    @alejack12001 2 роки тому

    I am glad your new bike works out for you for short trips. The portable Bluetti seems like a good addition for recharging your bike and portable hand held devices such as the phone. I don’t know if you have heard that the new electric bikes in some of the states are being regulated as a motorcycle requiring the user to have a motorcycle license. I guess it has to do with the speed that the bike can attain. I noticed you rode yours on the sidewalk as opposed to the street except for the unpaved road where you were staying. You weren't going that fast so there was no problem noticed. Be careful and god bless.
