That’s good 👍. I was just wondering can I do animal flow in the morning after waking up like a morning routine. Maybe it will help to correct my posture and help me to connect with my body
@@Matak1991 yeah for sure! I still flow at least once a week and it’s usually early morning after waking. Gets everything moving nicely and sets a nice tone for the day ahead 👌
Wonder if the motor is more powerful than 250w but limited by electronics to 250w, it would make things easier for manufacturers who supply to different countries 🤔
Been practicing AF for a few weeks and I gotta say, perhaps my favourite aspect of it is getting my hands dirty. You feel this connection to the ground which to you is, unless you're a gardener, pretty much completely foreign. You're 'touching grass' if you will. :)
Nice one. 49 here. Been doing AF for 6.5 years. Fell in love with it after weekend seminar learning. It’s the core of my entire fitness balanced with GMB calesthenics, rings, rucking and concept 2 rower. I spent 25 years in the gym, I don’t think I’ll ever go back.
Wow thats amazing! I am still using a lot of AF techniques as part of my warm ups and training sessions. You've inspired me to dust my rings off and give them a go too!
Almost 50 year old getting ready to embark on a 30 day animal flow challenge after 35 years of weight lifting. I'm interested to see if I can actually relax into the movement vs tensing up like I'm lifting.
Amazing! I think you’ll learn to ease into the movements pretty quickly if you’re coming from a good level of fitness. Might feel clunky to start though 😄 Let me know how you get on.
Awesome vid! I started practicing AF last year. I have no athletic background so I experienced huge physical and coordination improvement after 10-20 occasions. You've given me inspiration to continue my AF outdoors.
Hey! Thanks for the kind words. I edited the descitption with videos in three categories. I would follow along the first flow and learn some crawling techniques and just practise those for a while until you get used to the movements. Then progress through the rest. Good luck and happy flowing!
The trouble is there must be a roughly equal number of lunatics on ebikes or regular cycles as there are lunatics on four petrol or diesel fueled vehicles. People think they own the road no matter what mode of transport they are on these days.
befire the road traffic act,1834 or something, they separated people from carts and sheep by creating the pavement. People on tbe road transpiort got a licence. Would look awkward if people needed a licence to cross the road. The cats and carriages that caused wear and tear ti the riad, the reoaurs came from tbe fees raused. Walking or cycling on a road causes no wear. In a roundabout way, a licence was permission granted to travel on the road and a repair fee
Its allwrong o have a 250 watt motor its a lot faster than 15.5 mph and its wrong im power terms my 250 watt tops out at 10001 amps so how do you explain that and thats how it works someone who rides ebikes should write the rules
Throttle yes, increase speed to 20mph, yes. I don’t think a license or registration should be required but I think it would be good to have some sort of equivalent to a CBT to go for a 20 vs 15.5mph bike. After all, you can drive a 255cc motorbike on a provisional without passing your test which goes much faster and is heavier. I believe the pedals are from legacy law but throttles used to be legal without the need to pedal. I think it’s crazy that we’re all being pushed to buy full size EVs when small electric vehicles can be a much better option.
I agree with you 100%. I have had many ebikes now and started in 2017, when my local council let me borrow one for a month. I'm 62 years old and now have a full suspension EMTB. I ride it on the shared access pavements in my city and have done 3,200 miles in 2 years. When I ride on the shared pavements, I give way to pedestrians and behave responsibly. I also ride a huge amount of off road. Both my E-bikes are de restricted and I have never been stopped by the police or created an issue. However, I do see lots of hooligans riding Surons, with no regard for anyone else. 20 mph legal would be my sweet spot.
Not to mention if anyone knows the history of motorcycle they started with bike cycles so by imposing these draconian laws your preventing innovation and also a possible future for electrical motorcycle, As well if a bike must also has the standard road and cycling laws if you wish to run them on the road at road speed a license show be required let alone the little insure cost and if this hit anything it no different than a motorcycle even more so it lighter in weight the bike is either less cost than most vehicles so others insurance it a no brainer, also allows people to be greener and if the business start making these compatible with fast charging for gas stations and etc, your moving your city greener not really a bad thing, like it should be stated if you go on a bike path don't be douche and go speeds over 30km there could be kids and that's like driving a car and kids comes into the be diligent also allows cops to fine bikers if they catch people on bikes not following traffic rules if you follow traffic rules for your area your comply as if you were driving a car goes on boths side of the view on ebikes I stand with the entire ebikes community as these laws need to be fair but I also stand with the law when I see people hooning in area where it's unwarranted be respectful to your community but have fun.
I reckon the assistance limit is just fine where it is, if you want to go faster, pedal harder. As for allowing throttles, why not just remove the pedals and call it a motorcycle at that point? There's this weird dichotomy of people who want to ride a "bicycle" but really want that bicycle to actually be a moped. There's already a class of vehicles that cater to your desires, but it requires a CBT/VED/Insurance and that's too much bother apparently...
Surely the fact that you have to actually pedal the thing in order to propel it forward is the BIG give away !!! It's still a pedal bike (in your case), the motor size is a different argument altogether !!!
Where do you draw the line between an E-bike and it becoming an electric motorbike? There's got to some point in terms of speed, power and controls (pedal v throttle) where it's classed as a vehicle that requires a licence and insurance to use. Maybe there needs to be some intermediate category?
Whats stopping you buying an 800w version and gettinga 250w UK compliant plate made up. Afterall they are unregistered and unaccountable... Hence the numbers of them flying thru red traffic lights and riding the wrong way on one way streets.
We are encouraged to drive 5 miles less ect ect, we have a great technology thats cleaner than e cars, we should take advantage, enforce speed limits on cycle tracks, pedestrian areas and roads, and impose liability if accidents result in loss, cycling dangerously needs to be a criminal offence as is dangerous driving and only enforce insurance if it genuinely becomes a problem and government will start a net 0 insurance program i.e. all ebike users pay the distributed cost of accidents last year (covered by government) riders found riding dangerously can’t be insured for a year, or something of the sort, bikes should be checked across a spectrum of users to determine a comfortable/sensible max speed for that bike and it’s intended use/market before sale, but other than that I don’t see what the problem is, e cars don’t pay road tax, bicycles don’t have to be insured, traditional motor bikes tend to be bigger more expensive and more imposing than ebikes if it looks and weighs like a motorbike call it one, if it looks like a push bike with a battery n motor call it one, motor bikes already have insurance requirements, let the insurers determine risk/cost as is normal already long winded but I think we all agree the solutions are fairly common sensical and more should be done to encourage their use 15.5 with peddle assist or the police will confiscate and only give it back when its registered taxed and insured (which can not be done) is impractical and embarrassingly anal, the end result will be highly modified bikes posing as compliant, people will not respect the law when the law disrespect sense and liberty.
I only agree with your points if there-bike is subject to the same Road conditions as for small motorised bikes formerly mopeds. I’m all for en-bikes but there is a significant danger in the more powerful an fast versions setting back the cause. Whats wrong with making a clearer distinction between those that are genuinely peddle assist and those that are let’s face it -really the modern equivalent of a moped?
The solution is obvious, there should be ebikes of higher speed and output with registration plates, tax and insurance requirements which people with a valid licence can ride. That way ebikers are contributing in the same way as car drivers and everything is fair. They can't just knock into other vehicles or people and ride off, stolen bikes will be easier to find, and those who don't want to pay can still ride ordinary bikes. We have electric cars which are treated like this, why should electric bikes be different? If they are able to be developed perhaps they could be a green alternative to motorbikes.
Ok two things the only reason why we're allowed electric bicycles in uk is because the it was an EU directive and UK had to adopt at the time . This is why it's 25kph and 250w , you are allowed a throttle on ebikes made up to 2017 I think but after that throttle can only help to 3mph
Firstly, may I state that I am a cyclist, motor cyclist, car and lorry driver. I am appalled at how many people now wiz around our roads and pavements without a care. I’m sure some of them are using the 750 versions because I judge the to be doing at least 25 to 30 mph without peddling. Oh, I notice you are riding using a selfie stick. Whist this is not illegal, it is riding without due care and attention.
Ok I kinda agree with you about speed limits on the bikes but I also think to unlock the faster and throttle you should at minimum have some forum of identifier on the bike even if this is some sort of free registration number and most importantly some sort of liability insurance so for when someone dose cause damaged to a person or property you are traceable and are covered
Almost all are illegal. ie. Twist grips working above 6kph. Motors that have a maximum output above 250 watts. ie. All of those trailers etc. When questions they claim that the average power is 250watts, which means the max is above. Then you see them going way over 25 kph with no sign of pedalling. So they are motorbikes. They need to be siezed and destroyed because they are unlicesed. 10,000 in fines. More for no helmets, more than one up, ... Lots of money to be had.
The restrictions weren't pulled out of the air, research was done into accidents in places they're unregulated. Inexperienced riders tend to have lots of accidents using throttle control, it was one of the primary reasons compulsory basic training was introduced for mopeds. Leaving aside the very real safety aspect though, it's also to encourage "active transport", even just spinning the pedals with no real effort turns out to be good exercise & is a deliberate strategy to help reduce obesity & sedentary lifestyles. 20mph wasn't chosen, & almost certainly never will be as it's way too fast to turn loose the untrained & inexperienced on shared use paths mixed with pedestrians, children, pets, baby buggies etc.
it says 250 watt output. it does not say it has to be 250 watt motor, just 250 watt out put, and cuts off at 15.5 mph, and no throttle. there is no regulation on battery volts.
