Welcome to our latest episode in our ADVENTURES in our TINY FLOATING HOME.
This bonus episode is sponsored by Eleglide. After finding life shuttling the car between its last parking location and the boat and struggling to get to the shops when we need to we decided to investigate how an electric bike would suit our lifestyle.
In this special episode we partner with Eleglide and find the perfect solution.
Watch us take delivery, build and ride our new electric bike and give you an honest evaluation which now helps with our OFF GRID LIFESTYLE living on our NARROWBOAT.

Looks good but agree with other comments, Helmet’s are a must and mudguards for the wet days will be very useful.
Hi there thanks so much for the comment. Agree on both fronts. We will of course both wear helmets when we are using, this was just a little short test ride. We hope you continue to enjoy our vlogs 😀
Please wear helmets.
Hi Judith thanks so much for your comment 🙏 yes of course we will be wearing helmets when we go out. Safety is so very important to us. This was just a short test ride for the video. We hope you continue to enjoy our channel and tune in this coming Sunday for our next one 💕💕
Helmets!
Hi thanks for the comment and yes f course we’d both wear helmets, it was just a little test ride we did. We are both totally safety conscious 🚴 😀
We have a folding electric bike much easier to store on board and in the car. They are great wish I’d had one years ago. Helmets and mudguards are a must!
Great comment thanks yes we’ll definitely be wearing helmets when we ride for real. Maybe mudguards in winter too 👍👍
Thanks Jackie and Michael. When you mentioned an electric bike, I thought you were going to say you got a Himiway Bike. That looks like so much fun xxx
Hi there 🙏 thanks for the comment it means a lot when you take time to message us. There are so many options now but the Eleglide is such a solid, well built and robust bike it suited our off grid lifestyle so well. 🚴🚴
hi guys, great to see you both.
Hi Julie 💕 thank you so pleased you enjoyed it 😀
Looks fab thanks for the review
Thanks for watching! Loved the bike, such fun to ride.
Looks pretty good except for the missing mud guard's.
Hi Colin. Thanks for your comment and yes we’re really pleased with it, suits our off grid lifestyle so well. Mud guards yes good point. 👍
Great video as always guys. This is perfect for your needs as i always felt a bit sorry for Michael wondering off on his own in search of the car😄 . Would love to see a full video of you going back to pick the car up on it. Have fun and ride safe, atb Dixie🚴🚴♀😁❤
Hi Dixie. Thanks for the lovely comment and worrying about Michael… he’s more than capable of the challenge of retrieving the car 😄😄. We did do an episode where we showed a lot more of his journey. I’ll pop a link here for you to watch it. Hope you enjoy J & M 💕💕

I bought an electric bike but because of arthritis I couldn't get on it. I sold it to a friend. That looks a nice bike.
Hi.
It’s a shame you didn’t get to ride your E bike as the Eliglide is a great bike and loads of fun.
Take care 👍❤️
Hi Jackie and Michael! nice vid! now come over to Holland, no mountains!! :) :)
Hi there wow yes it would be perfect in Holland 🇳🇱 👌. Great comment thank you 🙏
Don't forget, if you are storing it on the boat, make sure to have some real heavy duty security stuff
Chains, Locks etc .. and take the battery off when not in use
I have a Cyclomatic 4.5" Fat Tire MTB E-Bike and it's a beast of a machine
Wait 'til you get on a hill
With the assist it feels like somebody is pushing you up the hill, with hardly any effort on the pedals
Be careful going downhill as well. I left the assist on (big mistake) and ended up in a hedgerow having misjudged my speed and the bend
Hi UKCM 🙏 for commenting. Yes security will be important on the boat, we have that all covered now. You had us both laughing and gasping at your accident downhill, we hope you are ok and no injuries 💕💕. Thanks for the tip 👌. Tune in this coming Sunday when are next episode is out 😀
@@cruisingontheborder Ye was giving it some welly down the hill, just to see how fast I could get to. Forgot the assist was on. Hit top gear, started to take the left bend and noticed the speedo -- 42 MPH -- ended up on wrong side of the road and then in and over the hedge
Cuts and bruises that was all, nothing seriously hurt..... except, maybe, my pride
😃😃😃😃😃
Hi jacquie and Michael, so nice to meet you yesterday. You have some fabulous views coming up xx love you guys! Arlene and Lee on nb lord toulouse xx
Hi both of you.
Great to see you both. Maybe we will catch you up as we are going the same way. We’ll look out for you.
Take care 👍❤️
@@cruisingontheborder that would be great fun x
What's Eliglide going to think about your review of Cyrusher 😅 which one did you keep? I like Cyrusher! Have fun.
Hi we love them both, very different but amazing e-bikes. Hope you enjoyed our reviews of them.
We have the Engwe c20 , folds down so easy to store , epic bike
Hi 👋 thanks for dropping us a comment. There are so many other e-bikes out there it’s good to hear about options. We spent a lot of time evaluating others and felt the Eleglide M1 Plus so suited us. Hope you get lots of use of yours 😄
@@cruisingontheborder hi , thanks for the reply , yes it’s definitely a perfect solution , I usually ride about 10miles back then move car 10 miles forward ish ..
There are loads of elecric mountain bikes, the best motors are bosch and also what ever the motor they are best if on the pedals not the wheel.
Hi.
Thanks for leaving us a comment.
We reskin like the bike and it’s super quick and very helpful on inclines which is great.
Thank you, lovely vlog. As others have already said you will need mud guards especially on the tow path and maybe a carrier. have you thought about how it will fit in the car and the dirty wheels?
Hi David
We have ordered mud guards for the bike so just waiting for those.
The bike fits in our estate car easily and we have a protective sheet in the boot area so all good. Thanks for your thoughts and advice.
Take care 👍❤️
Nice ready for tour de Yorkshire 😅
Hi David now there is a thought… who should we send to compete, me or Michael?? 🤔🤔 We’ll let you decide 😄
@cruisingontheborder after watching the try out in the lane I think you have the wining edge 👍
We thought we saw you attending Billy Joel at Hyde Park. Or your doubles
Oh Mark 😂 love the comment… definitely not us… maybe we do have doubles and just don’t know it 👍 you should of taken a cheeky photo.
Ha ha, we couldn’t be sure as the guy was wearing a hat. I’m glad we didn’t say ‘how’s the border?’ The lady was wearing a canal based t shirt (Panama Canal) 😂
❤️❤️❤️
Looks like a great bike, I have been thinking of getting one recently, will consider that one. Agree with other comments, must wear a helmet, a d mudguards are essential in wet weather.
Hi John
We really like the bike. It does come with mudguards but we hadn’t fitted them at the time of filming. We do have a helmet but as the test ride was only a few metres we didn’t use it but we should have done and do so now.
We can recommend the bike and there is a decent discount with our code.
Watch our for another e bike review coming up on our channel soon.
👍❤️
Hi you 2 wow what a bike I hope you enjoyed your chicken tikka last week tell the truth Michael was it home made or takeaway show us your wok jaq all the best to my fav boaters and jaq down the launderette on ya bike 😊
Hi John.
The chicken tandoori is every inch my (Michael ) own creation from the marinade to the cooking. It’s Jaq’s fave so I try to do it regularly. It’s a bit of a faff as there’s a lot of prep but it tastes
great and I make a curry sauce from scratch to go with it.
Brownie points for me John!
Always need those pal as you no doubt know 🤣🤣🤣
No mud Guards🤔
Hi Nick thanks for the comment. Yes good point, will defo need in winter ❄️ 😀
Good Day Jackie & Michael.
wherever you may be on the canals.
Like your new bike, no stopping you now between locks, from my experience with electric bikes they are usually quite heavy ?
Will that be a problem getting it on & off The boat?
Keep videoing love your show.
Phil .
Hi Phil thanks so much for the comments 🙏🙏. We’re heading north slowly and working our way around canal closures 🤔🤔. It’s ok getting it on and off the boat thanks for asking. So pleased you love the videos. More fun and games to come 😂
Hi Both. Have you had any problems with your new bike.
Hi.
No we have had no probs at all with the Eliglide bike. We love it! 👍❤️
Great idea 👍you could however sell the car and buy a tandem one double the power😂😂 love the video as always 😁👍👍👍
Hi Gaz
A tandem E bike.. I’ll get onto Eliglide and ask them if they can supply one.. 🤣
Can you imagine both of us on one of those!! An accident waiting to happen! 🤣🤣👍❤️
😂😂
Don't forget, you are limited to pedal assist up to 16mph in uk. (Legally). 😊
Absolutely 👍 always legal. Thanks for the comment 😀
Just be careful when charging overnight when on the boat, they have been known to catch fire. Also you need helmets. Take care.
Hi Caroline 🙏 so much for dropping us a comment. Definitely helmets will be worn when we’re out and about. We’d never leave the charger on when we’re not in attendance and certainly not at night. Thank you for drawing our attention to it. Hope you continue to watch our boating adventures 😀
Interested but can’t see what the delivery timeline is. How long did yours take?
Hi James.
The delivery of the bike was really good. We think it took 5 days from order to delivery and it was very well packaged. You can also get mudguards with it if you require.
Good luck.. it’s a quick one!!
👍❤️
Please get a good helmet. It’s a must for an ebike. I have one and wrecked last year; went over the handlebars and cracked my helmet , but was okay. Enjoy.
Hi.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a comment.
We are so sorry to hear about your bike accident. We would of course wear helmets when we ride the bike. The short ride you saw in that video was for demo purposes only. We already have helmets from our previous bikes. 👍❤️
It looks great. But please, please, please wear helmets! I don't remember what type of car you have (did you ever tell us?) but does the bike fit into it? Just asking!
Hi. Thank you for your comment.
We have a big estate car so no probs fitting the bike in the back
We would of course wear helmets when we ride the bike. The short ride you saw in that video was for demo purposes only. We already have helmets from our previous bikes. 👍❤️
@@cruisingontheborder Happy to hear. I was so worried when I saw you cycling there with no helmets!
Thank you so much for thinking of us both. 👍❤️
The first link you gave takes you where you need to go BUT, it does not recognise or ship to the address I’ve entered. Unfortunately I know what my address is and where I live (UK). Can you check this out with them for me please….
Hi James.
We will of check the link with Eliglide and get straight back to you.
We are using the link we were sent by them. We will sort it for sure.
Can you drop us an e mail to our add on our UA-cam home page and we can sort this directly with you.
I will of course also add a valid link as a reply to this post as soon as we get it.
👍👍
Hi James,
Before inputting the address, please choose Ship to UK on the product page.
Thanks & Regards
Without helmets and mudguards make sure you are wearing brown - dual purpose ! - brown trousers :>)
Hi Roy, great comment 🙏 we will of course wear helmets when we’re out riding for real. This was just a small test ride 😀. Hope you continue to enjoy the channel.
hi can you give me the full details of your Ariel as when I went onto the website there was lots :) if you could tell me exactly what the code or full item description as I would like to order one , PS your you tube is our look forward to each week
Hi Chris
The Ariel is a game changer! Really great piece of kit with a very high gain.
Here is exactly what we have
MIMO MAG ANTENNA
Product ID:
MIMOCOLMAG TS
It is from Badland uk.
Good luck and do let us know how you get on with it
👍❤️
@@cruisingontheborder thank you will go order it now
I don't like the fact there isn't a mud guard over the back wheel to stop mud/water ending up your back
Hi
Thank you cut your comment.
Eliglide do supply mudguards for the bike. They are on the way to us and we will then fit them. 👍❤️
Love the videos but guys come on imagine coming off with out a helmet
Hi Lilly fear not we just had a tiny ride that day for the video… thank you for your concern we’d always wear a helmet 😀😀💕
How tall are u will it fit me at 6ft
Yes definitely it’s a great bike give it a whirl !!
Nice legs for pedalling
Thanks Rugrat.
Michaels legs are very nice as you say 🤣🤣🤣
@@cruisingontheborder not as good as yours. I will take another look at Michaels
🤣🤣🤣👍❤️
