Its still an electric motor, putting it under water may never be a good idea. I agree it should not be bothered by water its an off road bike, my dirtbike can go thru 3.5 feet of water no problem.
The first summer I had my Canyon found me taking the wrong path and into a part of the SW Coastal Path definitely not suited, unless you're a trials rider. Amazing views and some very sympathetic walkers, and a fair amount of sitting atop large boulders figuring out the best way down/up. Lovely day mostly though...
Recently fitted them to my bike, just got back from a ride and found 2 thorns embedded in the front tyre that would have been 2 punctures, it was a devil off a job to instal them though.
Another thing with boost mode, if you are going flat out in boost pedaling as hard as you can? And you do a pedal strike on a rock, you can be thrown SO far over the handlebars..................pedal strikes are different on E bikes.
Good video Chris. Having just had to get my Cube Stereo Hybrid fitted with a new motor, I can second the water one. I can understand what you're saying about no deeper than your BB, but I don't think I waded very deep, certainly not that deep. What about secondary water damage like splashes through shallower water, or from being on the back of your car through heavy rain for long periods? Be interested to hear your opinion
Only a squid would do this. We do local road rides and some 80 year old women will show up with their E roadbikes. And yup a motor beats no motor. Not a huge accomplishment .
4:22 the e-cycling equivalent of locking yourself out of your own house or car 🙂. Not that I have ever ever done something as foolish as locked myself out of my own car, (cough) never 😊.
i am about to purchase my first e bike and was planning on just turning the motor on when i come to a very steep hill or climb. my thinking was i can still ride most terrain but is it harmful to the motor riding it in the off position? for me the assist would be used only when i needed it and not all the time. does it cause excessive wear on the motor or drive train?
Pedaling a 50+ lb bike with out the motor, is like riding with both brakes dragging, it doesnt work real well. ECO mode on my shimano motor'd bike is a great workout, I can go 85 miles that way with the 900WH battery.
Ebike advice- "use eco mode". No, because it's as dull as shit and I bought my bike to have fun. I'll tell all the mx'ers to get their bikes power restricted by 75%, sure that'll catch on. Great channel btw.
THIS is the deal. It is extremely poor form to make a big deal out of going faster with a motor. Of course a bike with a motor beats a bike with no motor up a steep hill. Its not a skill.
Exactly, all this clap trap about "my e bike is so fast". With what 1/2 HP? My last 300 KTM singletrack bike was the normal 46 HP and would wheelie at 65 mph. There is fast, and then there is fast.

Agree with most everything you say Chris , but the water issue really should be sorted by now with the price of these bikes being what it is.
100% agree with that.

Good product and appears well made. Easy to use.

Thanks for the reminder to turn bike off lifting over a fence.
Would love to see EMTB review the Tannus Armour Tire Inserts
Recently fitted them to my bike, just got back from a ride and found 2 thorns embedded in the front tyre that would have been 2 punctures, it was a devil off a job to instal them though.
That was great advice!! Thanks!!

No1 Nah - you de-restrict.
I have past many roadies going 30+ mph on my Levo. Always a good time
The ultimate flake move. "I can beat you because I have a motor, and you dont" Wow.
One thing I avoid is showing off with stupid stunt riding..
We've all been there when you mess up in front of people! 😂

love the content keep it up
Thank you for the support! 👊
"They say the only real mistake is one from which we learn nothing that's from"
lol
I've got a long big hill near where I live, with a left turn into the woods, it's great to over take roadies on they can't follow you, 🤘
Good advice, thanks!!
Thanks for the support, John! Glad you enjoyed the video!
!00% agree with all that you have said in the video, great advice.
That's great, Jon! Thanks for the support!
When will an ebike battery explode/catch fire with regards to water?
Instead of "Hike a bike" can't u use "Pedal/Walk Assist"? Thx
I ride a Turbo Levo and want to carry a spare battery, before I make that expensive purchase how do I best carry one? Cheers
I thought that Husqvarna ebike would have a walk mode?
And sounds like we just need Turbo +
Bugger the first one, every time a roady tells me im cheating. I go one handed and push the motor too 500w and blast bast them at 28mph.
Haha! 😂
Again, your perpetuating the "dumb mt biker" scenario.
I rather have a yamaha EF2000 inverter at the other end to come back, prob it will take 2/3hours fully charge it
I have a hill about a mile and a half long near me varying between 6 to 16 % incline, it gives me the greatest pleasure to race roadies up it.

Riding around all day w/a battery on your back (for no reason) would suck 😡

It's not motor drag, it's weight
@@pubcollab the extra weight i am not worried about i am use to it with the extra gear i carry. thanks

You mean carry $1000 on your back. That what it cost specialized 700mwh battery.

Oonly or Only 🤣
I think its polite etiquette for ebikes not to overtake roadies. Its a bit like jumping a line. Unless your riding with them, dont do it.
Don't agree with this. They should move over
