    My prayers are with you my friend. I've been riding bikes since about the time I learned to walk. I'm 61 years old now and because of some health challenges myself I could no longer ride. When I found out about e bikes. I began to do research. That's when I discovered your UA-cam channel. I bought a Rad Power Bike after watching your reviews of what was out there. I couldn't be happier. You got this old man doing what makes me happy. Doing what I love. Thanks for that.

      I too have been riding since I could walk. After 3 knee surgeries that end with both being replaced I thought riding was over for me. This channel introduced me e bikes. Had a Himiway that got stolen 3 months ago so now I'm waiting for my new Blix.

    My wife had GBS when my son was about a year old . He is 46 now and my wife is just fine. It took her a year to get her full strength back and she and I have been active and just celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary. We ride our eBikes all over the country and ski and kayak. You will be just fine and will be back to your young self again. Don’t overdo it but do what your PT tells you to do.

    You were the first reviewer of an ebike and greatly influenced me to join the community. I’m 70 and find it so wrong that it’s you not someone like me suffering. On the other hand maybe it’s my mission to tell you that I too have been through similar valleys and have come out stronger for the ordeal. The challenges also make you really aware and even more thankful for those who love and support us. Get better my friend and remember the answer to the old joke, “How do you eat an elephant?” A bite at a time…take your your recovery steps one at a time…one ride at a time.

    Keep on Truckin man !! I too have nerve damage issues. 20 years of it. Need some extra pills right now, cramping, pulling of all limbs. Don’t walk far sans aide. But I am SO thankful bike riding muscles are much better. Can do about 8 miles a day on regular bike, slow speed, flat terrain. E-bikes have opened up a whole new world. I call them hill levelers. Now can do 18, maybe 25 miles early, recharge battery, then maybe 18/25 miles in evening. This is plain radical, also at retired age. Aventon folding bike, low step through. I use half a motorcycle ramp, and roll it into old smaller pickup, or in back of medium sized SUV wagon, both cases, fold the handlebars to lay it flat and fits nicely. If wife and I take a trip in car, fold in half and secure to side. A ramp has been wonderful. I’ll bear in mind this outside ramp. One caveat, salty winter road and hauling bike to trail head, i grimace with outside bike in back catching salty drift or slush flying up. I bundle in layers and bike down to zero degrees, not that awful properly layered. YOU keep on keeping on !! You must, I must, we all must over time. Fight gravity, that’s the real fight. Gravity wants to hold us down, pull us down and we resist. We resist.

    From Roberts Creek BC, Canada. Kyle; your honesty regarding your /gbs is heartening. I recently was observed to have a mils case of Parkinson’s disease, another neurological disorder which seem to becoming almost commonplace. I got a Voltbike Mariner about a year ago. At 73 I have a variety of physical anomalies, as I prefer to call them, the most diebilitating being my inability to walk any distant due to lifelong flat feet. So my e bike is my exercise. Your videos are motivating, especially since your GBS onset. I sincerely hope you make a complete recovery as soon as possible!!

    Kyle, so sorry to hear that your dealing with a debilitating disease. I've never heard of GBS, but that's not unusual, since we only hear about diseases that we ourselves, or someone that we know and care about are dealing with. I feel like you are a friend, I've been following your videos since the beginning and I value the content and the professionalism of your videos and I appreciate all the knowledge that you dispense in your videos. I can truly say that most of what I know about e-bikes I've learned from you and you are the one who got me interested in e-bikes in the first place. I'll be praying for you for a full recovery and I'll keep your wife in my prayers as well. Hope for a quick and complete recovery brother! God bless you and yours!

    Kyle, I had a problem a few month ago. More of a backup infection that went to my legs. Which meant I could barely walk and became very weak in a short period of time. I was lucky Physical Therapy made a huge difference for me. I”m now starting to feel close to 100%.
    My problem is minor compared to yours, but I sure can relate to how scary it can be. I specifically remember riding my ebike just a few blocks the 1st time and being totally whipped out. It is a step, a block, a few blocks at a time. Keep at.
    Glad to see you are doing a little bit better, keep it up and you will be riding soon.

    Wow, I’m not familiar with your condition, but wanted you to know that I’m pulling for you and your recovery journey. I can somewhat relate as I have a permanent spinal cord injury. Fortunately, my recovery has been very good as I can walk and bike again, but I do have reduced strength, endurance, balance issues, and some nerve pain. Anyway, related to the bike rack, I just ordered it. We occasionally travel with two dahon folding bikes that I’d rather leave unfolded to take up less vehicle space and I may pry my wallet open to buy heavier e-bikes in the future. The Destination E rack seems like a great value overall compared to some others like Thule, Yakima, and 1up. Good luck again with your recovery… hang in there.

    I just got the Hollywood Sport Rider from RadPower and used it for the first time last weekend with my RadRunner. My bike weighs a ton with racks, baskets and bags and I messed up my right shoulder lifting that thing into the rack. I wanted a 1Up or Quickr but having fenders on both of my bikes negates that. I wish I'd known about this new one before hand.

    GBS is a horrible disease but I think it has made Kyle's review better. So many ebike riders like me are elderly and I bet this review gives people confidence that they can load up their ebikes and go for an enjoyable ride.

    I hope this is how your attitude is when the camera is off. Gratitude even when things are crappy is important

    I now have the Destination E. Could you recommend a swing-away hitch to go with it. I have the rack on the back of my campervan and sometimes need to fully open the back doors. Thanks! Good to see you up and about.

    Great video! Sorry for your troubles. I just bought that rack yesterday to haul our new Lectric XPremiums and as I was opening the box I noticed that it said for up to a 50inch wheelbase. Hmm. Got out the tape measure and measured the bikes axle to axle, guess what, 51 inches! Assembled it anyway and figured it was worth a shot. It wasn't, it's just too short and the frame clamps are designed to hold the top frame tube or seat tube, not the seat post. No top frame tube on our step through bikes and the seat tube has a battery mount running the length of it. Just will not work safely on an XPremium. Returning today. Anybody have suggestions for an XPremium capable rack?
