    Helmets are rare in the netherlands because speeds are moderate and the infrastructure is safe. Turns out, it's not bad equipment that kills you, it's bad infrastructure!

      not only bad infrastructure but also the ridiculously large SUV's that have blind spots all over.

    It’s the SUV of bikes! Great car replacement for a lot of people.

    Just finished 2 1/2 weeks riding in Germany using a Bosch Motor, Dutch ebike with Shimano nexus 8 speed internal hub. If you ride in ECO it just sips the juice and shows something like 130km range with a relatively small battery. Obviously if you ride a higher level the range decreases.
    Rode up a mountain a 10% grade for 3 miles non stop. I was hot and sweaty, it was a workout but very doable. Just put in low gear (one) Turbo power level 3 of 4 and just kept pedaling. I’m 72 years old and could not have done this without an ebike.
    Loved this system. It is not a speed demon, but it works great. Did not miss the throttle.
    I highly recommend the Bosch motor with a Nexus 8 speed IGH.
    One other cool thing the brakes Magura hydraulic rim brakes. They rocked no problem on the decline. They are fantastic.
    The tires Schwalbe Marathon Plus. 22 rider no flats.
    I have Schwalbe Big Ben on my own have not had a flat the past 3 years, very good tires.

    Hey Ryan, great review..hope you are enjoying your time there. Our family of 5 spent 2 weeks past July in Haarlem and explored all over from there via public transit and bikes of course! You are correct about Urban Arrows everywhere, it's like they are the Dutch equivalent of North America SUV. That trip was a real eye opener for us, can't wait to get back 🤙

    Urban Arrow vs. Madsen Bike, which would you prefer? This, is a tough choice for us. On the one hand, the Madsen is a lot cheaper, normal chain & derailleur (cheaper and easier to replace). Madsen might be harder to balance. Thoughts?

    • @EbikeEscape
      @EbikeEscape  Рік тому +1

      I wasn't familiar with Madsen before - I guess I'd lean towards having the kiddos in front but on the other hand I'm a sucker for the most affordable thing that will get the job done.

      Search for a "ding-dong fietsbel" , and some shops do ship abroad.

    The dutch people think: "Helmets are for sport. If you don't wear a helmet in your car, why would you on a bike ?"
    Yes, bikes are as safe as cars in the Netherlands.

    A whole minute to cross that street? I’m lucky to get 12 seconds to run across a six lane stroad here in Ohio!
    The infrastructure they built since they decided to move away from a car-centric to a safe for people by design infrastructure is very family and kid friendly. Would be great if we’d move at least a bit in that direction.
    I hope you enjoy your trip!

    • @EbikeEscape
      @EbikeEscape  Рік тому +4

      Yeah, the infrastructure is addicting. It makes it even worse when you experience it first hand and realize what's possible.

      Wonder how this compares to Yuba’s from loader… super cargo

    • @xFD2x

      Those counters are dynamic, so the speed at which they do the countdown might differ.
      A bit like the progress bar on a Windows computer.
      So, you don't get a minute to cross, the counter just starts at 60.

    • @EbikeEscape
      @EbikeEscape  Рік тому +1

      We really enjoyed it there. Not as busy as Amsterdam which is nice. I also really enjoyed Utrecht, a bit more of a quant than Rotterdam.

    Great family, your a lucky man...The price of that bike is just obscene...As someone who welds and does metal fabrication on the regular, couldn't justify the cost...Although the design is very clever...My home made bikes have more battery, more power, more comfort, for a fraction of the cost, but, everyone is not willing to develop the skill sets required to do it yourself...

    Why are these as so expensive? They are between AU$9K and AU$15K here!! I can buy a high powered Vespa for less

    • @EbikeEscape
      @EbikeEscape  Рік тому

      More of a niche market (lower volume) and high quality components used throughout. Still expensive but if it's your car it's easier to justify.

    A little scary riding with a baby & young child (with no helmet). I know you had a disclaimer, but it's low profile is probably a little difficult for people in cars to see. Hmmmm :/

    • @jeffmpvd7689
      @jeffmpvd7689 Рік тому +12

      Notice how they were traveling on protected bike lanes separate from cars? That's the type of infrastructure they have in the Netherlands and why few people wear helmets, they also don't ride bikes particularly fast over there.

    • @rogerwingfield2047

      Hi there this bike looks great perfect for little ones I’d put a helmet on them if it was my family through that’s just me everyone does what they want in this world there’s nothing wrong with that it’s called freedom. When I was younger I rode race bike and I learned the hard way but if it was for my helmet I wouldent be here today.✌️

    • @EbikeEscape
      @EbikeEscape  Рік тому +1

      Jeff pretty much summed it up here. If we had it our way both kiddos would have had helmets on. Unfortunately traveling abroad it just wasn't easy (we only had the bike for a day and we just did a short ride)

    • @lb2791
      @lb2791 Рік тому +3

      Cars don't need to see you because you're not riding on the street together with cars in the netherlands. A helmet won't protect you from cars, good bike infrastructure will.
