As a fellow PNW resident, an avid cyclist, rain is part of the equation. One point that you touched on that could be reinforced is to be sure to allow more distance for stopping. Wet conditions really impact stopping distance. Adjusting riding habits to conditions is a crucial I commented before on your channel as having purchased both the Graffiti X and the Cycleworks Brute. So I'll have a side by sid comparison. By intent is to use the Brute as a work vehicle, parts and material runs. Living in a small rural with lot's of hills, the Brute is well suited fir that task. I'm on the third pre-order for both bikes. I'll likely receive the Brute 1st. Even though I ordered the Graffiti X 1st.
yea gonna be hard to beat this bike one issue I'm seeing on Facebook is it failing to make it up a steep hill..they need a boost button for hills or reprogram the controller to give more power from a start... everything else seems good tho i changed the handle bars and it made everything way better more stable at high speed seems more nimble aswell don't feel like I need to stretch or have full arm extension either
I have not tried a steep hill from a dead stop yet. As far as the handlebars, my rides have been short distances so far so I have had no issues but on a long ride I will see how comfortable my ride is.
😩🤔😂😂😂yeah u Riding in Wet leaves, and them White lines cause me to Wipe Out here in Washdc, happened when i was courier Too, its all Risky,🤷🏿♂️🙄😇just be Smart??? & cautious, Great video👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽😀
Never met a dog that doesn't love to chase a bike. Never met one personally that actually wanted to catch one either, which I know they certainly could have. One time a German shepherd jumped a fenced yard and came after me, I just stopped, he stopped, I moved a step, he moved a step. It was comical. Just got my studded tires on my bikes up here in Spokane ready for slick and icy roads to come. I run 45 NRTH gravdal's on my creo and, at only 38 mil, they're fantastic on ice and light snow. When it gets too deep or messy, I got my acoustic fatty with 4.5 inch studded tires or my cutthroat with 2.3 inch studded tires. I'm actually looking forward to seeing if la Nina brings some interesting challenges this year.
@oregonebikermark8953 oh ok that's nice man. I ride my ebike alone I don't know anyone with one & Never had the experience with someone else so I wish I lived in Oregon to ride with y'all 🤣🤣 u guys are cool
Scram doggy... we're talking lyric graffiti X here
Outstanding!
It’s cool having an electric bike that is water resistant. Here in north Texas it can be sunny and start pouring rain out of nowhere.
I have yet to have issues with any ebike riding in the rain.

Let us know your thoughts on the 2 bikes. Be interested to know.
You could get the voodoo and have the whole Lyric lineup that would be awesome
I sense your joy in this video, one awesome bike!
It's a fun ride!

Sounds like you're ready for whatever mother nature throws your way.
We get torrential downpours. 11 months out of the year where I am from in the lower mainland of BC, sometimes a rain suit is required to stay dry.
It sounds like you need some serious rain gear.
Hey buddy I've seen older videos I was wondering if Keith still has that Rad Rover he had before the Ariel rider grizzly and if he'd still ride it
Yes, he does.
