John, I used to sell equipment to the tire industry and was in different tire plants nationwide. the bad smell you are experiencing is called "outgassing". Outgassing is part of the curing process, and depending on where you got your tires from (other than the US) some different chemical compounds could be used, making the curing process different or longer to outgas the chemicals used. So, there is a process called "Sunning" which basically means leaving your tires out in the sun for several days to speed up the outgassing process, (which can make you sick). Once done... After “sunning” the rubber (which the odor should be dramatically less or almost non-existent), use a neutral pH cleaner to spray, let soak, then wipe the rubber surface. Types of neutral pH cleaners: dish soap, odor ban, Zep, etc., and if you want, some fruity scents, use orange glow. hope this helps with the smell.
This outgassing process happens with vinyl products like shower curtain liners, treated wood and synthetic furniture, carpets, treated lumber, even shoes. Used to be STRONG from vinyl toys when I was a kid.
😊 I'm liking the evolution of your riding, also digging the fat tires. Maybe those big chunky dirt tires on the new e mountain bike pro, an all around beefy fast ride. I think that would be the master bomber. You might lose some agility, but would be an overall comfortable Urban shredder.
As beautiful as the beach videos are, this area is just so much more interesting! Where else do you get to see Grandma's burnouts? This heat wave is brutal. Not ready for my ID in the phone yet myself. Thanks for the video!
Who the F#*k dont like wheelies! Takes a special person to watch a bike video and complain about a wheelie. HAHA! Love all your content brother...keep em coming. #wheeliehaterssuck
Hi, I’ve been following you since 2015, and you’ve given me a lot of motivation not to give up cycling. I’ve been into extreme sports since I was 16 as well. I really love your videos; you must be a truly good person based on what you’ve shown of yourself so far. Thank you for doing what you do and for motivating people! Peace!
John it’s been a while since I seen one of your vids, but it just popped up on my feed and haven’t watched in a while. This is what I needed to see, this was like a therapy session for me. Much needed vid, glad it came on my feed.😎🍿🥤😌
your absolutely right... you have to watch out for some of these idiots in the cars.... People in general outside just dont pay attention as much as they should. be safe my G...keep creating awesome content.
My brother told me to check out your videos and they are way cool. I just started the ebike thing with a kit attached to a beach cruiser, but the bike you ride is on another level. I'm in workman's comp last couple years due to injury so it going to take a while but I'm definitely saving up for one of those! Good vids!
19:05 Hicks I'm going to have to stop this video. I have a zero four hundred wake-up for tomorrow morning. So hopefully you'll either get twice the good marks or at least still the good mark I gave you.
I have lived in the south bay for ~8 years now. I am a hs student around there and am friends with a lot of ppl who ride surrons. Things have gotten weird, like my hs is requiring us to have our ebikes certified (which sucks cus mines still illegal) only because sum a couple kids did. I also got slapped with a $250 ticket for a bs reason, and the cop was down there everyday bringing in easy money for the pd last year. It rlly depends on the cop u run into on what happens. The guy I ran into was clueless and an arrogant ass, whereas the cop that caught my friend on his surron told him to js chill and no one should bother him.
Hey hey I'm actually checking out one of the videos you posted yesterday and I'm a huge fan of yours hey I wanted to ask you have you ever tried checking out the video preview of Dead Island 2 do you realize when you went towards the beach it actually looks like part of the you know game I just want to let you know all right I'll check out more of the videos when you post them all right catch you later bye😊
Hey it's me hey I happy that you like the game the island too and I'm also hoping that you had a happy 4th of July you know and you know I'll check out more of the videos once you post them all right catch you later bye
Hi John great video as always. Yes it is statistically. Proven that the warmer weather does cause a mood change. I looked it up because I’ve noticed that happening as well. Be safe out there bro. See you soon hopefully.
Were heavily restricted in this country bro too 500 watt was 250 😮 But my ebike is Up graded too 1000 watt but still looks Stock Not fast, But fast enough for me, Plus I live in the Mountains Gets up all the Hills Can cruise everywhere Love it 😊
I live in southbay, in the hermosa / redondo beach area, no e bike ban, was just there. no problems. rode the e-ride to Venice beach on Sunday and rode by multiple sherifs and beach police. if you being cool and ride with respect to others you will be under the radar.
Bro...EVERYWHERE in LA, or hell California in general is a "Gang zone"...I love the content just riding around and seeing what it's really like there but, the zone thing is kinda played out...Like, you step outside, its a gang zone...we already know.
I'm in Glendale and I've never had a cop here or in the rest of LA give me a second look on my moped ebike. Worst I've gotten is Karens on the river path
That's incorrect. They didn't ban ebikes altogether. They banned surrons talarias, basically the illegal off road bikes, however, I have a stealth bomber which has petals and I basically told the cops what's up. I got stopped 3 times in 3 blocks. Each one of them got sent home packing..
Forgive me if I missed it; You mentioned the tires several times but I can't find where you said which tires specifically they were? Shinko 244? It's hard to tell. My E-ride Pro SS has stock tires and I'm trying to decide if i want to buy 244 or 241, but I ride mostly in the city and your review of your tires would help... If I could tell which tires they were! :D
CST tyres are nylon, plastic. More durable and less prone to flats. I prefer them, for road riding. Expensive tyres lose tread more faster. I got a supplier that sells me a set for 68, well worth it
I fucking love bouncy balls. The old skool ones out of the machine. But hey ! Have you rode threw the El Sereno area ? That would be fun to watch. Like I moved here recently from Covina and I am without vehicle so I havd to navigate threw this foreign maze of hills ON FOOT ! (I GET LoST Every SINGLE DaY AND NIGHT ! ) And lemme tell you, I freaking LOVE it ! But I am most definatly scared to take an e-bike out around here.
Here in Florida I don’t think they’re getting banned yet, I feel like they don’t even care about dirt bikes on the road anymore so e-bikes pretty stable at the moment 💯
Love ur video and definitely going to try and win the bike… But if I don’t how do I find where to purchase this bike… Appreciate any help keep the videos coming
if everybody rides the way you ride, then for sure they would ban ebikes. in my city they banned scooters from the sidewalks because people were going too crazy with them.
i also grew up in north long beach - last lived off of 68th and atlantic. north town fahever. my first job was in LA - across from Pershing square in the former Douglas oil building. i entered your bike giveaway as my grandson would love this should i win. i am old and breakable and love my granny ebike…p.s.don’t kill jeremy. or yourself.
Some ebikers are spoiling it for the rest of us. Everything is catching up with you now, and you will be left with your super powerful bikes. You will never be able to ride. I don't mind paying tax and insurance yearly if it means I can keep riding
Chinese rubber that's why the smell. You slippin wearing those orange gloves, lol. Those big tires do look good. Hell to no to digital paying, you saw what happened to us Canadians having our bank accounts frozen right.
Love your videos brother over here in the uk the police stop the kids and take them off them but the people who drive mobility scooters on the highway they don’t do anything about those
That would be missed up to win a then not be able to ship it,right!!! Offer to pay shipping, good luck, from Sacramento, California USA 🇺🇸, peace ✌ out my friend

In my area you are required to have side mirrors if you ride ebike on the roads.

Love it 😊
Wtf is the reason for ppl not wanting you to wheelie? It’s your life do what makes you happy brotha
I ate a paper plate today
How was it?
I ate a shoe

I live in southbay, in the hermosa / redondo beach area, no e bike ban, was just there. no problems. rode the e-ride to Venice beach on Sunday and rode by multiple sherifs and beach police. if you being cool and ride with respect to others you will be under the radar.
We've had ID on our phones in Sweden for a good while now :) and it's actually very convenient :D
You look like Your on A Grand Theft Auto Map 😂
Hollywood had a ride out the other day it was wild!!! Also check out zoo path it’s such a cool ride 👀

Who’s against wheelies?
Get your bars up!!!! 👊🏾🎤🏁🚲
21:08 it’s like Fallout New Vegas… you’re leaving Freeside and now entering the Strip.
LA will call it the "John Hicks BAN". Worked so hard to get it done.
those tires are CHONKY. the bike looks so good!
Babe, wake up, John Hicks just dropped an absolute banger!!!

Hey John, I just like watching a UA-cam videos I like when you ride in downtown LA even I like when you ride in Santa Monica
This has so much of a GTA San Andreas feel,i keep expecting CJ to appear,and carjack someone...😂
Seriously
Have you looked into getting the Insta360 X4 camera? It might be better for you to use instead of the GoPro.
When does Trevor come in on this level??? Or is this just a Michael/Franklin level??
Forgive me if I missed it;
You mentioned the tires several times but I can't find where you said which tires specifically they were? Shinko 244? It's hard to tell.

Get the 241's if you mostly ride in the skreets
the ban is kinda crazy because ebikes are the future of environmental friendly commuting. Plus you could do a rolling burnout on a engine motorcycle.
Some people depend on these ebikes to get to the store for their groceries. Maybe they should ban cars because they get in accidents every year.
It was so hot this past weekend, it was 91 degrees last Saturday in Pennsylvania

Hey what happened to that black guy you use to ride bmx with? I think he was from Long Beach.
He wanted it right there 🤣
What year of Surron u got as well as mods that’s a sweet bike
Hey, so when do you think you’re drawing the bike?
I hope you've stocked up on gopros. You know how much they hate that sun 🌞
What does LA spend the people’s tax on? Homelessness shouldn’t be that of a problem… What a failed goverment.
There's just a bunch of low lives that don't want to conform to a normal life style, it's not just California it's every where
Oh it’s California they just give it away
Bouncy castle right next to the crazy tagged up traphouse
I fucking love bouncy balls. The old skool ones out of the machine.
But hey ! Have you rode threw the El Sereno area ?
That would be fun to watch.
Like I moved here recently from Covina and I am without vehicle so I havd to navigate threw this foreign maze of hills ON FOOT ! (I GET LoST Every SINGLE DaY AND NIGHT ! )
And lemme tell you, I freaking LOVE it !

Take the bike to Glen Helen with those tires 😂.
make it two wheel drive yes no maybe all i ask is 2% share on all part number generated.
IT'S ALWAYS A BUTT WHOLE TO MESS IT UP FOR EVERYONE!!!!
u gotta get shinko 241s or 244s, perfect trials tire
34:12 yooo what’s the secret and what’s burning 😳 😂
Bro are you on a stock surron??
I wish you did more downtown Long Beach
Love ur video and definitely going to try and win the bike… But if I don’t how do I find where to purchase this bike… Appreciate any help keep the videos coming
Billy idol said it’s hot in the city tonight
Born and raised in the South Bay those kids are nuisance. They need to be going after the parents for buying these $5000 motorcycles for their kids.
Thanks for sharing your quality content.
I left the City of Industry area for Big Bear. I'd love / hate to see it now.
Can you do a San Diego ride. The hoods and the beaches?
Old guy here. What's the problem with wheelies?
Is the gauge on your left reading mph??
Are you going to check out the Xgames this year?
Don't be a menace to South Central while riding your bike in the hood
if everybody rides the way you ride, then for sure they would ban ebikes. in my city they banned scooters from the sidewalks because people were going too crazy with them.
Because people die on scooters a lot look at the stats
Where can I buy an e-bike like this? I'm from Europe. Greetings
You could probably make some cash selling huffs of your tires in South Central 😵💫😵💫😵💫😝
I need to know where the girls are from the thumbnail lol
I'm curious why the campervans and trailers aren't towed away?
Man, I think that all the time, right!!
They are
HOPES!!!!

Not the best choice for tarmac, dirt bike tire`s are likely to drift in corners at speed and have almost no traction when wet, less contact, less grip
Chinese rubber that's why the smell. You slippin wearing those orange gloves, lol. Those big tires do look good. Hell to no to digital paying, you saw what happened to us Canadians having our bank accounts frozen right.
Yeah I would do the ID on phone and all I do is Apple Pay too.😎
In Sweden they have never been allowed on the roads.
What did you put on the paper plate did you put cardboard 😂
Love your videos brother over here in the uk the police stop the kids and take them off them but the people who drive mobility scooters on the highway they don’t do anything about those
Hello John how are your day going
What tires are you running?
Классное видео, броу;)
Where do you get your tires from.
w video

Are you ever going to go back to a bmx bike ?!
What kind of tires are they ?
Check out the stealth bomber E bikes
How dangerous, you riding in our cities on the side walk. I pray you don’t hurt anyone.
Hi john wig racing tires 🤔
I live down in SD so not too far and ofc they would be banned 🤦♂️
if i spend 1,200$ do i get 1,200 chances?
