Eyebahn Spine: AAAAAAHHHH, where’s the Icy Hot 🤣 I’m keeping up with the NYC e-bike law changes as well. I watch other e-bike videos, someone popping a wheelies in traffic, riding the opposite way of traffic or riding on the sidewalk. I’m like damn, ya’ll are making it harder for the rest of us.

@eyebahnrides 4 месяца назад

Thanks for joining us again! Bro, I felt like Iron Mike after that ride. "I broke my back... ... my back is broken... ... spinal... I broke it riding a citibike" Yea man, I'm really worried about all these regulations. Alot of content creators, myself included, have put alot of effort to grow in this particular space. If a sweeping ban hammer comes down, I'm not sure how long it would take the channel to pivot into a new space since the algorithm takes time to put you there. I just hope the community we have here would be willing to stick with me if that change ever comes. The hooligan riding style we're known for as a city and the stupidity of these moped guys are going to screw us over in the long run =(

Thanks for watching this video as well and I really appreciate your input! I completely agree. As much as I love riding my scooter on a daily basis, having the ability to change it up is awesome. I enjoyed riding the citibike more than expected so I think I would really enjoy those more ebikes that are more like proper commuter roadbikes! If I make those videos, I just need to find a way to not sound like I'm out of breathe lol.

@khanrides 4 месяца назад

That e-citi bike is built like a tank. I think it’s the only ebike out there that’s actually water proof. These survived all the rain and snow we got this winter with ease. I would love for all ebike manufacturers take notes and implement similar water resistant standards to their bikes. Btw Loved the cleaning at the end 😮‍💨

@eyebahnrides 4 месяца назад

thanks for joining us again Kahn! 100%. That's exactly what I was thinking while walking to FFR from the dock. I was like "why tf have we not taken what we we learned from citibike and applied it to all pevs". There's absolutely no excuse nowadays to not have a minimum of an IP55 rating for pevs. The only reason I could think of that would prevent them from implementing something like that is they make more by selling more units to people who break their PEV in the rain! hahaha glad you enjoyed it. Next time the scooter gets really bad I'll make that cleaning short!

@eyebahnrides 4 месяца назад

Thanks for joining us on this ride and welcome to the channel Lenny! I never tried the first gen ones before but I was pleasantly surprised by the performance of the new bike. It was zippier and faster than I expected! Would you say the older were slower?

@KadeOh 4 месяца назад

I ended up watching a bunch of your videos in the last 3 weeks and I ended up getting myself a Klima Max after a stolen Segway and I am beyond stoked with it ! It is so fast omg the accidental wheelies I do all the time gives me so much adrenaline 😂

@eyebahnrides 4 месяца назад

Thanks for watching all the videos and welcome to the channel Kade! First, sorry to hear about the stolen scooter. Stuff like that always sucks. Luckily, it lead you to the Klima Max! It’s an incredible piece of machinery, so enjoy the heck out of it 👊🏼. Just make sure you gear up when riding because life changing injuries can occur at the speeds we ride at. Anything that can help get you home to your loved ones will always be worth the investment!

@ortem000 4 месяца назад

Before I moved, during my last month in the city I rode an electric citibike for the first time as well! Mine had better suspension it seems... 😆But I agree that I was impressed and sorry that I didn't do it sooner. And yes, I would be open to seeing a board range of PEVs on the channel. Thanks! Be safe!

@eyebahnrides 4 месяца назад

thanks for joining us for this ride as well! Apologies for the delayed response. Back to back illnesses really wiped me out so I'm finally just getting back to work and finally catching up to RU-vid! That lack of suspension was brutal, I'm glad yours was better than mine because my back was killing me for a few days after this ride lol. Also, thank you for the feedback! I'm glad you're open to seeing a variety of PEVs since things aren't looking too good for us here in NYC. A video that's coming out tomorrow will explain that in more detail but I think it would be a lot of fun to have diverse riding POVS

I used the city bike for about two years it was cool but when i did the math i spent the equivalent of a nami klima with in one year so i ended up getting a klima.

@eyebahnrides 4 месяца назад

thanks for joining us on this ride as well Nigel! I can see how the Citibike costs (membership + rental fee) can add up to a Klima after a year. that's pretty insane when you really think about it because you could travel on your own terms more comfortably for the same price as a service in which you have to spend alot of time hunting down a bike that works!

@marcusbmclean 4 месяца назад

Before I got my PEV from Fluidfreeride, I used the citibikes (1+ years). My favorite was the electric one and I had ALL THE SAME PROBLEMS you had. It was my #1 reason for going PEV. PS. the subscription is the way to go if you use citibike.

@eyebahnrides 4 месяца назад

thanks for watching the video and welcome to the channel MJ! I appreciate you confirming the issues I had is experienced by others. I thought it was an isolated incident and I just didn't know what I was doing lol. I don't think I'd ever sign up for the membership because I can't see my self leaving 30-60 minutes earlier than I would for the train or with my PEV just to go hunt down a working ebike. I can also see finding parking in the city during rush our being a major problem. I can see the problems getting worse once congestion pricing goes live!

However, if i did want to look like I was getting ready to buy a megazord, I would color coordinate with the classic Tommy White Ranger shoulder pads lol hmmm... maybe I'll pick up white Leatt dual axis knee/shin pads for the summer!

I'm glad you enjoyed this video. It was definitely a test to see if a more chill ride would be welcome by the community and everyone seems to have enjoyed it. You should get it back!

I was kind of worried that the bike was falling apart under me because of all the noises coming from it lol

People were already giving me the weird looks with theTSG on, I'm sure they would've called the cops on me if I had the spandex!

@ErockRodz 4 месяца назад

Neat video idea! I was always curious about these bikes and how they hold up. I assume they are single speeds with no suspension? No pedal assist level control? Nice video! I am scared that ebike regulation is coming very soon. 😬

@eyebahnrides 4 месяца назад

thanks for watching Erock! I was going to take a cab that day but I completely changed my mind the moment I stepped outside. Since they got rid of the Revel Mopeds, I figured that it was time to do the CitiBike thing. It was actually alot more fun than I thought lol. The ride is stupid harsh because theres no suspension and the tires are overly inflated. No controls over Pedal Assist though it was a nice balance between a regular ebike PAS and the S73 PAS. Honestly, I'm terrified of these regulations since we've spent so much time and effort building our channels around it lol. The one thing I learned on the citibike was I had as much fun riding at 22 mph as I did at 60+ on the Nami. While the community is racing to see who can have the fastest ebike, I'm moving towards finding more enjoyment at the lower speeds lol. That's all thanks to esk8 and s73!

I just got my Apollo pro earlier this month and am thinking about getting the eclipse bike New York City needs to get this electric vehicle things on control they need rules and have those rules in writing so people know exactly what to do and what they have to register

@eyebahnrides 4 месяца назад

thanks for joining us for the ride and welcome to the channel J! First, congrats on the Apollo Pro. It looks like a heck of a scooter and would handle the city well. I 100% agree with you that they need to get their 💩 together. In classic NYC fashion though, you can tell its a bunch of idiots that don't know what their doing just throwing random policies and regulations against the wall to see what sticks. They then promote it as a political stunt to make it seem like they did something, but in actuality, nothing ever really gets done lol. I love my PEVs but I've always been searching for a sleeper ebike since I feel that the city could change its stance on it at any moment

@JohnnyPrimeCC 4 месяца назад

You know... I have still never used a citibike

@eyebahnrides 4 месяца назад

hahaha all good homie, you're not missing out on much! Though I did enjoy it more than I thought I would lol. I confirmed that no matter what I ride, I'll have fun on it as long as its got a bit of zip to it and I'm on the road! While everyone is racing to see who can build a pev that will hit a pothole at 90mph, I'm heading in the opposite direction

@zuluwalker181 4 месяца назад

I don't mind the ebike content since it's the lead-up to the escoot lol. Looking for stations and broken rides doesn't sound like my thing though. Talking about side mirrors - what do you have on your Klima?

@eyebahnrides 4 месяца назад

thanks for joining us for this ride as well! Apologize for the delayed response. Back to back illness really took me out of commission so I'm finally getting back to work and I'm finally catching up with RU-vid! lol thats good to know, I appreciate your input. Yea, the whole searching for a docking station and the messed up bikes we're really a turn off. I don't see how people can say that it's less stress to have a Citibike pass instead of buying your own PEV. The mirrors I'm using on the Klima are actually generic aluminum ones on Amazon. Btw, I have a list of all the accessories in the description of every video just incase you need to check them in the future. But here's the link to the mirrors I'm using now. Klima Mirrors: amzn.to/3GoxZwN . I used to use the Kemimoto mirrors on the Burn E but I opted for these on the Klima since the handle bars are lower and didn't want the side mirrors dangling too far down. These actually look incredible and compact. They also have reasonable FOV and clarity, but they don't have the tint that helps with headlight glare like the kemimotos.

@zuluwalker181 4 месяца назад

@eyebahnrides 4 месяца назад

@@zuluwalker181 yea, it was really tough to try and not work on things for my job and for the channel. I tried to rush back to work after barely getting over the first thing that I had and ended up in worse condition over the next couple of days. I had to rest/ recover even though the algorithm is gonna punish me for the next couple of months for taking the time off. Good news is a video is scheduled uploading for tomorrow since I missed last week and I'm going to try and have one up for the weekend. I'm hoping to be back on schedule by next week and in the good graces of the algorithm in the next couple of months lol

@eyebahnrides 4 месяца назад

thanks for joining us for this ride Shaun! I don't really have any secret tricks to cleaning the Klima. It's literally as I showed at the end off the video lol. Just make sure that you use a "lighter setting" on your hose. Using a high pressure hose could potentially send water through the gaskets of the motor and flood it!

How many miles do you put on your brake pads before changing them?

@eyebahnrides 4 месяца назад

thanks for joining us for this ride as well! I made it to 600 miles before I brought it into the shop. Ed, my mechanic, told me that I probably had another 150 miles on the pads but I was already there so I had him swap them out anyway. I also needed him to look over the scooter since I've been riding on heavily salted roads.

@lachlanbrown3112 4 месяца назад

I thought you couldn't wash the Namis with a hose. Is that not going to cause water damage???

@eyebahnrides 4 месяца назад

Thanks for joining us on this ride as well Lachlan! You can definitely wash the scooter as long as you keep the water pressure low and the spray wide. If you spray the motor and controller box with high pressure water, it can break through the gasket and you’ll get water damage.

@user-zr4df2kn9x 4 месяца назад

Now, why would I want to see a slow uncomfortable e-scooter or e-bike? No, stick to high performance scooters. As you say yourself it’s a time commitment to watch the videos and I don’t mind as long as it’s a scooter worth watching. I tried the scooters that litters our town and boy it was uncomfortable, no suspension and a 350w motor. Not only that, it was also expensive. Public transport a lot cheaper and heaps more comfortable.

@eyebahnrides 4 месяца назад
