Scotty do some dirt bike videos please
a friend of my grandpa had one like that
What’s the approximate cost? I’d like to have one.
@@melvinlee5684 +1600 USD
This is how every man his age deserves to live. He’s happy with his toys. I hope my hard working dad will get to enjoy life like this some day.
Make him. Be so successful one day u can write him a check so that he won’t have to work another day in his life again
I'm 60, got the exact Himiway ebike and love it 😅
We’re responsible for our choices in life. Our happiness is no one else’s responsibility, so don’t beat yourself up over it.
With a son like you his life is complete.
My grandfather still rode his fixie in his 80's. Then put a chainsaw engine on it.
I told him it was the beginning of the end. He lived to 95.
I can see it now
"If you do this to your electric bike, youre stupid"
Lmao fr

Lol Rev up your electric bikes
🤦♂️😂🤣😜💩💩
Do what
Never in a million years did I think I'd see Scotty on an e-bike......EPIC!
“Mom the neighbors screaming again”
💀
🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
He forgot to take his dementia meda again, Son. Just stay inside, don't go out to play.
😂😂
I can hear it now! "Rev up your EBikes"!!😂😂
HA!!
"Charge up your E-bikes"!
I torque it up at stop signs and lights. Everyone stops to see it in person
Bought my dad an e-bike 4 years ago; loves it- he’s 92.
COOL!!!
I just bought an e bike. My hope is that there will be zero regulations on these. Get to where you are going, no gas. No insurance. No registration fees. This is a great idea, until scumbags in government regulate it.
No follow laws stand up and resist in numbers
TRUTH! 💣💣💥 I built several HUMAN POWERED TRIKES specifically so "GOVERNMENT" can't tell me I need a license! I can generate well over 1,942 HORSEPOWER using flywheels. Gasoline automobiles are a SCAM! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
A lawyer friend told me the future will be interesting regarding ebikes. Bike paths and trails are usually multi-use, walkers, joggers, pets, kids, etc. Most serious riders who go 20+ stay off busy trails. With ebikes, anyone can go 20+, some even 30. What will a lawsuit look like when a 10 year old going 30 on an ebike hits/kills/seriously injures a family of 4 walking their ferret?
@@matthewpedersen5125 They are already regulating rail trails now because of teens cruising at top speed on them. Mostly the bikes with a throttle, not pedal assist.
If they pass laws like that and you comply and register and pay for permit for a bicycle that's on YOU
Hopefully these bikes aren’t built with too much ‘plastic crap’ that goes wrong - and where WILL Scotty plug in his scanning tools???
I bet battery on this is crap. As on pretty much any ebike.
@@matoatlantis I rented a couple for the wife and I in Greece....45mph top speed....80 mile range. I was told they were $1700 USD new.
The newer Li-Po batteries are a game changer for e-bikes/e-motorcycles.
my himiway broke down within 90 days of purchase and they still will not fix it even though its under warranty and that was 2 years ago.
I want an e-bike that I can connect a phone or similar commodity device so it won't draw as much attention to the fact that its an e-bike. Take the phone with me. I like the Bafang conversion kits, the quality and support isn't as good as Bosch and other high quality serviceable brands, but the price is right for me. E bikes draw attention of thieves and vandals and many destinations don't have bike racks. The Fahgettaboudit bike lock weighs 16 pounds, but it can prevent a bike theft - a cordless tool can cut that quickly too. Bring back horse thief and bike thief hanging laws.
@@timothykeith1367 try an escooter out instead
Discovered ebikes 2.5 years ago, that was 15,000 miles ago. My wife says why do you go so many miles. I say it makes me feel 16 again, and that feeling never gets old : )
My neighbor got me into e-bikes. I’m 18 he’s 72. Not only did he influence me now having 4 bikes but also me making my channel. He has like 5k subs and 10 bikes as well speak
@@TheMarklandian Cool, they are a ton of fun 😀
Good for the new ELECTRONIC current generation Scotty..but I will stick with my 60s and 70s now vintage 2 stroke air-cooled on and off road motorcycles..makes me feel like a teenager again..when I too was once young and ambitious.
That's 115 miles a week for 30 months. I find that hard to believe but if it's true then well done on that hard work.
@@brad349miller completely possible. I do about 70 a week just commuting to work.
I got Lectric XPremium. $1600 delivered. Mid engine, 2 batteries, 4inch tires, folding, hydronic breaks. Heavy, but it will pull my 250lb frame and over 6 foot height.
I bet those “brakes” are workin hard
This sounds similar to the Aventon Aventure II, which weighs 78 lbs.
@@username8171Aventure is a full frame 26” tire bike. Doesn’t fold. Most of the bikes Lectric builds fold and have 20” tires. Lectric are more competitively priced. For me… it really depends on if I need the folding part. I haven’t decided yet…
How has the bike held up over the year?
I bought a powerful one on cregslist for like 850$ than spent about $1150 on gadgets…total 2000$ for the bike of my dreams it’s on my UA-cam channal “did I make the best Ebike on earrh” video

This gentleman really should have his own TV show, 😁👍
We’re watching it now
His reach on here is much further than most shows on cable or OTA
He is already on UA-cam international TV.
Love Scotty, he is so full of life energy and vitality.
He is straight screaming in the streets it literally echoed.
He needs a statue in Detroit or something
Even with my volume turned down, my neighbors think me and my wife are having a full blown argument.
Lol..Disc BRAKES!akes! TOO!oo! Love it
Neighbours seen sound insulating their walls 😂
Nah he needs to sleep
Could you imagine being a neighbor 😂
Skids to a stop…..”it’s even got ABS” ….?
I think it’s just on the front brake so you don’t lock it up and fall
@@henrymallett6847 its an adjuster for the fork it has nothing to do with the brakes.
Abs .. that's simply to control the front suspension ..... example if it's off and you go on the brakes hard the shocks will give/move, if it's on (on) it'll lock the suspension so it won't move if you go hard on the brakes ....
@@lawaynehelmuth6126 again nothing to do with brakes, on a bike the suspension is for bumps, you should have correct positioning when you ride and not be leaning forward when using the front brakes, or else with the shocks dropping you might risk going otb
My 150cc scooter has ABS. it only releases some of the pressure from the brakes to try to prevent lockup for example on wet roads. But it'll still lockup if pushed hard enough.
"...7 speed TRANSMISSION." 🤣
it is in fact a transmission...
@@lincolnsawyer5076 it's just gears, like you would say for a normal cycle
@@hesalovelybuoy5944 yeah, that's what a transmission is for the most part
@@austinhernandez2716 normally, you wouldn't call gears on a bike transmission but it does not matter
@@hesalovelybuoy5944 you also wouldnt call gears on a car a transmission - you would call all the working parts together a transmisison, just like many do with a bike, just not as widely used.

“Better than my old celica” 😂😂
😂👍
Why is he yelling though 😂
Hey Scotty! I like your bike! I bought 2 Ecotric folding ebikes two years ago for me and my wife. They are great for going up hills. Yesterday we passed a couple decked out (bike suits, helmets, etc.) bikers going uphill on legacy bikes. It felt so good to pass them!
This is way better than Tesla
Anything is better than Tesla honestly
Scotttttyyyyy on a ebikeeeee! :O I ride my escooter for a living. Delivering food, lemme tell ya in the heat wave of NY my break pads are melting my regenerative breaks aren't working very well and my tires and balding XD alot of torque got mine up to 51mph with just me no bag or gear. 35 to40mph comfortable cruising with enough room to burst some amps and do what I need Todo. Be careful wear a helmet!
He said '32' miles an hour because he's a freemason that shills for NWO electric crap.
Don't need no stinkin' helmet.
then u don't need a brain either@@PROFESSOR-I.C.
In Europe these are classified PEDELEC and require a moped licence and a CE motorcycle helmet. The bike must also registers as a moped and have a licence plate 😅. Otherwise we can ride electric bicycles that output less than 0,25 kW and motor will sets itself in passive mode when over 25 km/h (15 mph)
Sounds like you need to vote for being allowed to ride decent bikes. Europe must be horrible to live in with all those rules
@@BioluminescenceOfTheSpiritLobbyists want their vechicle insurance money. Prob 90% of people in 90% of cases, especially city folk, could just commute on ebikes going 40kmh. But then, gov and friends inc would loose a lot of money. Roadbikes can go 40kmh+ for the last decades, but you dont have to register or insure them.
Scotty, they’re a lot of fun to ride , I’m glad you have one 😊
Scotty is living the life, live on brotha!!!! Have fun 🙏
BRO YOU ARE A GENIUS. A BEAST AT WHAT YOU DO AS A MECHANIC, JUST A KNOWLEDGEABLE TRUSTWORTHY INDIVIDUAL. WELL APPRECIATED...
🤣
Next up Scotty on an electric unicycle "no steering wheel, no brakes, no cables, no chain, no oil dipstick, no nuthin....just hop on and go.
I bought an Ariel Rider D-class, and it's one of the best purchases of my entire life. Two-wheel-drive, 4 inch wide tires, 30+ miles per hour, 0-30 in 4 seconds, and goes friggin ANYWHERE. It's literally the electric bike version of a Rokon. $2,500. Some guys have put two extra batteries on it, which increases the top speed to 40+ MPH, even faster acceleration, an 100+ mile range.
Glad to see Scotty finally embracing EV’s. ;-)
So, as with your recent electric car video, when the battery eventually fails you won't be able to find a replacement, not only because the lithium based batteries are in short supply, but because "customer support" from the vast majority of Chinese companies is non-existent?
i mean sure ... in 8 years when the battery is depleted to around 85 - 70% of it's capacity .. i think you made your money's worth compared to something like taking an uber in the big cities around the world. plus .. because batteries are in short supply, it can always keep a resedual amount because they started recycling those batteries now. it seems to me like a good deal right? especially in high density big cities. what do you think?
I don't care. If Scotty says, it's a buy. I buy it!
@@meenki347 gotta have some critical thinking on your own as well
@@NewKingBrandon I trust Scotty's opinion. If you don't? It's ridiculous to watch his videos!
at the very least it can still function as a regular bike
Way to go Scotty, I hope you enjoy it as much as I've enjoyed mine this year.
It's also great exercise as well. Consider getting a small cargo trailer for it so you can use it for trips to the store.

I feel like Scotty talks like that all the time, even at the dinner table... "HONEY CAN YOU PASS THE SALT AND PEPPER"
I'm 54 yr old cardiac patient. Bought a Ridstar Q20 and I'm rocking tricks thru town and cranking up hills!!!!! Last week we start racing on the local bike trails. Ease into recovery!!!!!!!!!
As a matter of fact, I'm thinking of switching to electric bikes bc of the high gas and the pain of being cautious of saving money when going to work and back
E bikes are more dangerous than gas bikes cause they don't hear you coming.
@@catsbyondrepair little ninja bikes 😁
Saving gas wasn't my original intent. Charge mine with solar panels. Commute is free. On high traffic days I save about a gallon of gas. Travel time is more predictable. Traffic accidents, construction & whatever else doesn't effect the bike lane, side streets & trails. Would recommend. Averaged 80 miles/wk last summer into fall. Running it less this year, but still enjoy it. Was taking it to the grocery store once in a while when only needed a few things.
I love my Razor and my KnowPed for the same reason! It's quite a ride carrying a backpack full of groceries on a kick scooter, though! X3
That's it! Scotty has finally gone electric! LOL

***One, two, three, four......**** Scotty: "Rev up your electric bikes!"
A friend of mine uses one of these to get to work, they're great for short trips.
Before you buy one, make sure there's someone in your area to service them when needed. Most servicing can be done yourself, but if you have a motor or battery problem, you might need help. A lost of these bikes come from China and there are not many service centers here yet. Check around before you buy one. It's on my list of next purchases!
Granny here & I just bought an electric bike to flatten the hills in western NC! YIPPEE!!
I am glad to see you having fun Scotty, but non electric and gas powered bicycles or not as good as human powered ones. They pollute a lot less, and, once you make a quick check, you can get on them and go. There is no need to think about if it is charged enough, has enough fuel, or is the engine working.
Scotty needs to rev up Scotty.
This reminds me of those old harleys from the 1910s
It kinda does.
@@browngreen933 but electric 😂😂
My neighbor bought one of these for the sole purpose of messing with it and seeing how much better he can make it than factory…it rips, drives comfortably, and brakes reliably every time…wasn’t much for him to fix except that sticker on the frame

Wow, love to see you on a bike! Even if I am a motor head, I ride my bike everyday to go to work. Lots of love Scotty!
Isn't ebike a motor?
@@fbyi2940 you're right! Should I have said "engine head"? :p
Do you know what bike is that?
They say electric bike is cheaper but if you charging battery for let say 5h which is quick 20penny/hour is 1pound per charge that if you using for about 4-5days a week is 4-5pound a week 20 a month ...I paid 7pound (15pound a full tank) 2weeks on my honda cb125 (real around 130mpg) to fill petrol...(only mot and insurance is more expensive)...
My first ebike was a 1000w build that someone else built to sell.
Having that for a year taught me how to maintain it and how to build one. They're very simple to build.
When that one was stolen, I saved up and built my own.
I now have a bicycle with a ridiculously comfortable saddle, which goes up to 45mph without any trouble, and will ride for 24 miles without any pedalling from me.
If I pedal aswell, it'll do over 85 miles.
It has a 52v battery, 1500w motor, double suspension, a windscreen, indicators, and mirrors, and it gets me to and from work every day in complete serenity. Its a huge improvement from driving in a highly congested city.
How fast?
If you leave it out in the rain it malfunctions and keeps taking off on it's own. It's not water tight.
Not true
I’ve as a couple of mine out in downpours and even dropped mine (fully submerged) into a creek. Zero problems

I built something similar last year, that did 40-50 mph with a regulator. Cost me 300-400 to make, & I sold it for 600. These electric bikes are cheap, & effective hometown transportation

Dont let it get wet from the elements. It will power on by itself.
Water is a killer of e bike motors.
Most e bikes are water resistant
I’d have to disagree. Literally had mine submerged before in water. In multiple downpours outside and through basically anything you could think of off-road wise. Rock climbing mud higher than your waist.

I think that rather than testing bikes he should be testing hearing aids, I haven’t heard anyone shout that loud that wasn’t seriously injured.
For heavy duty shopping with big baskets for cargo, the tricycle electric bike can't be beat! With the tricycle configuration you get a feeling of stability (it's hard to tip over) and you can really load it up with stuff
Just make sure you get a bigger battery especially if you are over 250 pounds and you can haul up to about 500 pounds (Your weight plus cargo).
Keep on mind that power consumption on hills is higher than level ground. The tricycle also conserves power going downhill.
They are fun! Remember to wear a helmet...They have lightweight versions available that feel almost as if they are not there.
Yep, and if you have one with dual batteries, or a honking big single battery (about a kilowatt) you can travel 80 to 120 miles before charging. That’s a lot more than the average urban dweller travels daily.
Scotty for president! I've learned so much from him and he tells you the truth all the time. He speaks from experience and knows his stuff a real old school master mechanic!
In Ireland, anything with over 250W motor, that doesn't cut out at 25kmh (15.5 mph) pedal assist and throttle(over 6kmh), is considered e-moped and requires insurance, registration, road tax, AM license, helmet, is not allowed to use in cycle and bus lanes, and motorways
This would be so cool to have. Imagine hiking with it and a big hill comes up, you can just cruise your way to the top 😂
Are you really going to hike with an ebike that weighs close to a hundred pounds ? That ebike is not made for hilly offroad use like a dedicated Mountain ebike is.
@@michaelhungerford2454 they go fine uphill
It goes 3 and a half times slower than this dirt bike… and has 1 6th the range and when it’s low it takes 4-6 hours to refill the tank.
The abs on that fork stands for something other than the brakes if I’m not mistaken. I believe its an acronym for a system that adjusts the soft/hardness of the forks
It's not your father bicycle it's your grandpa's 😂
lol, calling the derailer a transmission.. bless his heart
Being mechanically-inclined like Scotty, I converted a single-speed beach cruiser to a mid-engine ebike with enviolo's continuously variable transmission (CVT). With lawn mower batteries available at hardware stores.
These things are under rated. My neighbors use e-bikes and scooters to go to work downtown and save a ton of money in gas and parking.
