I’m always impressed with Lewi’s ability to teleport down the trail as needed to capture the best angles. Props to him on the camera

*This bike is amazing! **Latest.Bike** so easy to ride. The pedal assist option is so helpful for my bad knee. It rides so easy. I love it!*

Broke down and bought one this week (AllMtn 6). Literally the best thing I’ve ever bought for myself and easily my favorite possession. Winter is so much better. Arrive at he top fresh and ready to ride, not exhausted and sweaty under your layers. No more freezing waiting for my energy to bounce back. Another thing I notice is that climbing isn’t just easier it’s also fun. You can play with the power and carve around rocks and roots just having fun. I don’t have to be focused on efficient climbing and maintaining momentum, it’s all just play up and down. It’s a complete game changer for me as a middle age man because I get to keep riding and have fun like I’m half my age again.

I love how Sam throws props out to other riders regardless of skill level. He seems humble and understands not everyone wants to, or is not capable to pull off no handed backflips LOL.

Got an E-bike back in May, probably the best thing I have ever bought. As someone who doesn't drive I use it for everything from commuting to shopping to getting out onto the countryside without gassing myself out so I can enjoy shredding the trails more. Love it.

[LeDank]

The main reason I don’t have an e-bike: they are $4200-$6000 locally. I already thought $2000 was an outrageous amount to spend on my regular pedal MTB.

[PiotrstrashcanŚmietnikPiotra]

This is cool and everything, most of us wish we had one of these but to get a decent ebike it's at least 3, 5k gbp I think uhm....

I had to edit this after watching the entire video. A few months ago I had to opportunity to ride a 60km ride with a 65y.o. That 65yo dude was one of the first one's to open a Bike shop where I live in Brazil. He was one the first ones to instigate people to ride, compete and have fun, and the amount of joy coming from him, being able to ride the same trails he was used to 30 years ago was just amazing. I still ride a 2012 Enduro, 26' wheels and nothing fancy, but for now I'm able to have fun with it, and the thing about non-competitive biking is to enjoy the fun with others, and to see the old man riding those trails he wasn't able to ride in the last 10 years or so just made my day. I would like for people who are sorta against Ebs to realize it's something to make your life on a bike longer, and if riding a non Ebs still your thing, by all means, keep on it like I do, even if the reason for it not having enough money to afford one.

Also great for certain disabilities.
I have an incomplete spinal cord injury and my left leg is numb from the hip down.
I am jumping sliding around and everything again.
Even tried a half-assed tuck-no-hander yesterday!
It is the best thing that has happened to me since the accident.

[MrTommyBp]

Just bought an ebike yesterday.. Was just watching videos to get me even more exited to go ride again tomorrow. Then this pops up meant to be, thanks Sam!

[matthewlaw]

I was a huge anti ebiker (thought they were for the old, disabled, unfit etc.) then had a go on one and went straight out and bought one back in May and only ridden my acoustic bike once since! So much fun and 2-3 times more downhills in the same amount of time as my acoustic bike. I am still hitting peak heart rates as you spend more time in the saddle pedalling up more hills. My only criticism I personally find is the weight when riding down tight technical lines where you want to easily pop off little features I find it harder to get the pop but I think that is also down to my technique. Also be prepared to lose some riding buddies and gain new ones as it gets boring riding with people on acoustic bikes :-D

So my 90s cannondale dh4000 weighing 50lbs was the right way to go after all, I knew it! (apart from the uphills...)

This vid is so bang on.I bought a hardtail a few years back and it moved from one side of the garage to the other, think i did a total of 150km total.I bought an Emtb in August and just love it, a big bonus is having a quarry and bike park literally 5 mins away on Turbo.Its just bags off much fun yesterday was -2 here in Trailcross and a merino wool base layer and giggling all the way around the 27km of trails, climbs, puddles, drops. The only downside was the wife having to shower me down in the garden with the hose pipe fully dressed cos she wouldnt let me in the house BIKES ARE A GAME CHANGER.

[kudosbudo]

God wish i had the time and parks near me with good jumps to get my progression up... don't think a bike would fix that for me, having closer places to ride and more time would though.

[worldstallestmidget]

I hate when people say youre cheating. I have a couple of comebacks 1 have you ever used a shuttle truck or a chair lift? And 2 unless you’re on a Gary fisher klunker from the 80s with a coaster brake, then you’re cheating too!

[rapplclon]

Hey Sam, I just got one a few weeks ago... try shreeding them through deep powder snow!! After like decades of MTB riding I never had so much fun with a bike in the snow ❄️❄️❄️

Got my first ebike today, the haibike hardnine 5 and what a beast it is for an entry level bike. Been dreaming of an ebike for ages and now I'll be riding with a smile on my face for miles to come

[HELLRAISERGaming]

Had an ebike for a year now after riding norms forever and I can say I will never be going back. 30mile rides feel like nothing and I can still carry on with the rest of my day😅
