The Hidden Glendoe Eagle: Bike & Hike on a Folding eBike!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 жов 2024
- Join me for a solo bike & hike on a folding city ebike up a wild mountain on the western fringes of the Monadhliath, near Loch Ness. I use my little Estarli e20.7 bike to take me most of the way up the hydro track, on my return I show you to a rarely visited site where a stunning Golden Eagle statue awaits!
⛰ Mountain climbed: Càrn a' Chuilinn (816m).

Nice bike colour 😁
😎 🚴
Beautiful statue. We'd love to see a review of your bike, our local shop has them for sale so it would be very interesting thank you, as are all of your reviews.
Cheers and will definitely do a review, once I put a few more miles on it. 😁 👍🏼
Have a guess where I went today on my emtb! 👍. What a fantastic statue and a great location too! It’s a LOT easier coming back down! 😂
Haha, nice one mate. Worth a visit isn't it. 🦅 By the way the ride out on a folding bike was interesting. 😂
Yeah, I bet that was an interesting ride on that bike! 😂 Especially coming back down. It was after I watched your video that I decided to ride up. 👍 So glad I did. The closer to the top you get the steeper it gets. Spectacular views too! 👍. Cheers.
@@A.S.R.68 I remember that last section was really steep. Easy with an ebike. Chuffed you enjoyed it. 😁 👍🏼
Absolutely brilliant thumbnail bud, this upload is amazing! 🔥🔥
Thank you. 🦅 🚲
Thanks a great video and the eagle sculpture is amazing 🤩👏👏
Thank you, cheers. 🦅 😁
So much easier with epower , I like rounded hills as you know.
Impressive looking statue Robin well worth the visit 🚲👍
These hills have a bit of character if you ignore the turbines, rounder ones are easier to pitch on. 😁
GREAT VIDEO.I don’t watch UA-cam much now,it’s full of wildcampers cooking steak and drinking craft beer in stormy conditions.This though was a great watch.The view over the shoulders of the eagle were breathtaking . Appreciate the effort 👍🐶interesting story behind the erection of the statue.
Cheers mate, appreciate it and it's these sort of vids that don't get noticed. Heyho it is what it is. 🙃
Awesome Eagle. Nice views as well.
Thanks mate, cheers. 🦅 😁
Smashing wee bike Robin, there's nothing better than a hike with a bike and that Eagle was indeed spectacular, ATB mate.
Cheers mate, I've been wanting to visit that eagle for a long time now. 😎
Would love to visit that statue, looks amazing. Good spot for photos that, under a night sky. I’ve left my bike a few times in Northumberland, no problem, deffo a game changer. Cheers Robin, Atb mate 👍
Cheers Davie, it's a cracking sculpture. 👌🏼 Aye, usually fine, always lock the wheel to the frame though, heard a few stories of bikes being pinched.
Wow Rob that Eagle is beautiful!! Great video love the bike...and a nice remote Mountain 😊
ATB bud Andy and The ROCK STAR ⭐
Cheers Andy. 🦅 😁 👍🏼
Hi enjoyed the video ! I have the 16.7 grey version it's brilliant .
Going on your username. How does it compare with a Brompton?
@WalkWithWallace Hi its just as much fun, still light enough but obviously heavier than the brompton not by much, it's a more comfortable ride because of the fat (ish) tyres, more of a bulkier fold and more suited to lumps and bumps that the brompton so glad I have both, bought an additional battery as well kind of future proofing, well happy !
@@bromptinowner763 excellent, is it just a regular Brompton or an ebike? It's bonkers the former is the same price as an electric Estarli.
@WalkWithWallace it's the B75 definitely would not pay all that money for an electric brompton
@@bromptinowner763 me neither.
Great stuff as always Robin👍
Thank you! Cheers! 😎 👍🏼
Blue and Orange suit ya. 😉 Nice wee bike likesay. Looked a good wee day trip mucker. Apart fae yur 2nd Corbett. We've nae options in the East now. That's probably your furthest East yins eh. Muppet features. 😂 Loving the statue like 🦅
What you trying to say likesy? 😜
Second Corbett was brutal mate. 😂 Plenty Grahams left in the East. 😉
Great stuff Robin the wee bike looks a handy bit of kit no doubt we will be seeing a lot more of it. And of course that was a great statue pat on the back to whoever made that beautiful thing hope it survives up there for many years to come👍 How is the hoose mate all good?
Cheers Pete, aye its a guid wee bike gets me down to the bus stop in Jiff time. 😁 The eagle is a peach, should last the test of time. 🤞🏻 Loving the house mate, was a bit unsettled at first but we both wouldn't go back now. 🏡
Nice little machine you've got there, Robin. Pity about the bloody road signs up mountain tracks though - they'll be opening drive-thru Costas, next! Does the eagle statue keep other birds (including real eagles) away, I wonder?
It's quite a nifty wee thing, handy I can lob it on the bus too. There was a lot of heavy plant and vans going up and down all day, I thought they might have stopped me going up. Got friendly waves from most of them. That's a valid point actually, you see people with fake owls to share pigeons away.
Good stuff again Robin,but an Ebike, have you no shame 😅😅
Haha, don't knock it until you've tried it. 🤣
@@WalkWithWallace I couldn't possibly, I'm a purist 🤣🤣
@@williamduncan6676 😜
Is that a different ebike than the one I tried Robin?
It is yes. 😊
Hi ive just watched your video of your 20.7 estarli. You say you have knobbly tyres. What sort of tyres are they? I have schwalbe big apple. Pamela
Hi Pamela, I think mine might be the same as yours. I paid Estarli for the upgrade.
OK thanks.
Yours look more knobbly than mine
Just checked , it’s the Black Jack tyres by Schwalbe.
Thanks I'll have a look at them.
The newer estrali has more torque
Nice one 💪
