These videos are so clearly made by an experienced, professional video and motion graphics editor. They're so much better than your typical product review, and Scott (I presume the aforementioned editor) is having so much fun it's infectious. I bought my first e-bike, the Packer 1, in part based on his review, and I just bought my second, this Go 1, almost entirely based on his review. Love seeing Chicago captured so beautifully in these videos. Thank you, Scott! And if you're working in After Effects, perhaps someday you can include a tutorial on some of those titles you've created? I love that one with the red circle I saw in another video, great stuff.

@scotthardesty 7 месяцев назад

Hi Derek. Thank you so much for the kind words. Yes, currently I am a one man show. I haven't been using graphics that long, about a year now, so thank you. Far from an experienced motion graphics editor, I use MotionVfx for the graphics and I use Final Cut Pro to edit my videos. If it was wasn't for Motion VFX, I think my videos would still be as rough as they were over a year. I know you are loving your Packer 1 (I use mine all the time for big grocery runs) and the Go1 is very capable utility bike (gotta get those baskets to haul stuff around). Once again, I appreciate your comment and thanks for the support!

@NRP1991 Год назад

Hey Scott I’m almost ready to pull the trigger on the abound however I’m having a hard time with that new lectric xpedition. 🤔. Thanks again for all of your videos

@scotthardesty Год назад

I have seen the Lectric xpedition but have been unable to ride one. I think they look good. Come on Lectric! Send me one so I can review it!

@bigpapanacho4033 Год назад

Love my Xpedition. Have an Aventon 500.3, two Jetsons and an Xpedition for my wife/kids it’s great. If you have any questions let me know. Just took it out yesterday for 20 miles around the lake.

@NRP1991 Год назад

@@bigpapanacho4033 haha I like your display name , I ordered an xp 2.0 (hasn’t shipped yet) but I did just get my free “comfort package “. Boy that’s really cheap feeling. I’m glad it was free because if I paid $99 for it ☹️. But I really like the aventon bikes and that torque sensor. I test rode a few at blimp city bike shop. Very smooth. But the price for the xp 2.0 for $799 I guess we’ll see

Love your videos man. I am between the nomad and this. I live in Chicago as well! Horner park area. Which do you prefer? I am probably the same size as you.

@scotthardesty Год назад

Hmmmmmm.... I have more testing to do with the Go 1. The baskets have come in so I need to get them on and start using it like I use my RadRunner 3 Plus. The Nomad is my 3rd favorite cadence fat tire bike, and I haven't ridden the Go 1 long enough to compare. It's also comparing a utility bike to a bigger fat tire bike. With that said, I use a utility bike way more than I use my big fat tire bikes.

@lisalalita Год назад

Thanks for the informative info. Question: I want a low step folding bike due to space but need something I can carry groceries on. In Greenland it is gravel & loose rocks & holes in roads. Can you/others recommend a folding bike, fat/gravel/snow-usable tyres that handles 15-20%+ hill climbs (easy pedal assist ok) for distances 500m-900meters at a time or a normal sized bike with low step & light? One that can evt. be "locked" at 15mph? as I will need a bike that can later be used in Europe. I will risk using a throttle. In GL, they don't sell folding bikes over 8.2ah/250w (20"x4" tyres. On a lady's e-bike with that power I find it can be a real struggle the last 400m even with pedal assist & the tyres are too thin so I glide a lot- dangerous with the hills & needing to brake. Anyone with recommendations- please comment. :)

@scotthardesty Год назад

Hopefully one of my viewers can answer that question for you. Since I live in the US, I wouldn't know EU specs, nor the bikes that are available over there.

@odysseypontotoc Месяц назад

Good review. Did the stem mirror come with it? Did you have to cut the grip to mount it? Thanks

@scotthardesty Месяц назад

The mirror did not come with it. Yes, you will have to drill out the hole, or just use a knife and cut it out.

@yornoc318 11 месяцев назад

I had a bad controller unit with my Velotric, they sent a replacement part within 2 weeks. Unfortunately there was no service help so I had to use you-tube videos to show me what to do. I would buy a BLIX bike next time as they actually have service people you can speak with.

@scotthardesty 11 месяцев назад

Sorry to hear that. Luckily, switching out the controller is relatively simple job. I have the Blix Ultra, which Blix would you get next time?

@EbikeReviews Год назад

Great video, enjoyed it very much. Thanks.

@robertd9850 14 дней назад

Are the stock tires suitable for a finely crushed and packed gravel trail? No mountain biking, just a ride through the woods in the state parks and rails to trails. Most of those are pretty smooth.

@scotthardesty 14 дней назад

Yeah, no problem there.

@waveriderz2687 Год назад

Don't think it's gonna' do hills very well fully loaded. Have some hills on my way home. Any observations?...Thanks for sharing!

@scotthardesty Год назад

Once I get the baskets for it, I plan to put it head to head with my Rad Power Bikes Rad Runner 3 Plus. Part of that will be a hill climb with weight on them.

@davidpaisley9949 3 месяца назад

Curious as to your height and if your position on the bike was upright or a bit of a lean forward? Is there enough room with the wiring to put a stem extender? Anyone try a child seat with this?

@scotthardesty 3 месяца назад

I am 5'9" with a 32" inseam. I sit pretty upright with this bike. With the BMX handlebars, you can put back towards you making you sit more upright if needed. I don't see this biking needing a stem extender but if you put one on it, it would have be a shorter one.

I need the same lawn that Scott has.

@scotthardesty Год назад

We put that in when we had 4 dogs that constantly destroyed the yard. Best decision we could have made for the backyard. Now it's always green.

@lisalalita Год назад

@@scotthardesty I was thinking what a nice little backyard you had. That lawn is so practical. Back when I had dogs...there was no such thing as a lawn & unfortunately no fake turf either. :/ Showing my age. LOL

@scotthardesty Год назад

@@lisalalita I also didn't have these options growing up as well. So glad they invented this synthetic grass. They even have a version made specifically for dogs (better drainage) so that is what we had installed.

@stephenstetler3324 Год назад

Didn't see the Go1 coming, so when Velotric dropped it I was stunned. Cargo doesn't have to mean long tail. The forest color especially is striking. I guess I should test ride this new cadence system to see if it makes me accept that it's not a torque system.

@scotthardesty Год назад

It's a different kind of cadence sensor technology for sure.

@bigpapanacho4033 Год назад

Lectric Xpedition seems like a way better deal

@scotthardesty Год назад

Could be! Maybe someday I will get a chance to review one.

@paulcoinc Год назад

I'm already out at the Apple Find My. If they are ony doing Apple there's no way I'd be a go. They need to realize overall Android has more users. So obviously they should have a system for both.

@scotthardesty Год назад

You can always add an aftermarket tracker to it.

@paulcoinc Год назад

@scotthardesty I don't see them giving a discount because I am not using the built in one. That's where they lose me forcing me to pay for something I don't want.

@scotthardesty Год назад

@@paulcoinc Well, it's built into the bike and there is no extra fee to have it working (or not working). I do hope you find one that gives you all the features you want and none of the ones you don't want.

@paulcoinc Год назад

@scotthardesty I'd still be out. There would be a cost that goes with it. Others may be fine but I wouldn't buy it unless I was ether given an Android compatible device or compensated for the cost of one.

@OMAOILRIAN 10 месяцев назад

You see, there’s a unique trend that’s been remarkably consistent over the past few years: Android holds a huge market share lead over iOS around the world. iOS holds a solid market share lead over Android in the U.S. According to the latest stats from Statcounter, the global market share looks like this: Android: 67.56% iOS: 31.6% But in the U.S., that market share looks like this: iOS: 62.13% Android: 37.47% So here in America, if you have an Android phone YOU are the minority. So them putting an Apple Find My feature into their bike makes sense. The only way you’re right is if you live outside of the US.

If you are doing 20 mph on a path with pedestrians, it is not only dangerous but irresponsible.

It's Chicago. I will never find a path with no one else on it. you should see when I hit 28 mph on trails with people.
