Hitway BK35 Folding e-bike is it any good ?
มุมมอง 623หลายเดือนก่อน
I was sent this folding e-bike by Hitway to pass my thoughts on, this bike in my opinion is more suited to commuters who maybe travel into cities by train or bus then need to commute the last few miles to work. Saying all that it was good fun, stick it in the boot of the car and you have wheels ready for a city explore or whatever takes your fancy. Bike ➡️amzn.eu/d/0u0w5ws ➡️hitway.eu/products/...

After recently doing my first Bikepacking trip on my mountain bike I came back with a few things that needed sorting.

Sounds like it was a great trip, no rain and just sunshine. Just what makes a trip atb Dave.

You can go either all on road or on the off road section thru Kielder forest. I’m hoping to do the reivers route next year 🚲👍

Thanks, hope you get plenty of trips in too atb Dave 🚲🍺⛺️👍
Hi, I have the same bike as you and noticed that you have flat handlebars fitted which is exactly what I want to do as well. Did you make a video on this as I can’t see one on your channel for the ribble. Is it possible to share which shifters and levers you used for the conversion etc as I am in France and would have to order everything online, a local bike shop doesn’t exist here unfortunately. Thanks for the videos on the ribble, Duncan.
I did the same on my ribble as my cannondale the video is here - th-cam.com/video/hLpNqF8eiGM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=dI241IeJN_0FnnLo This has all the details in the description, hope this helps atb Dave 🚲👍
Looking forward to more of your pub crawls in 2025. And your cycle trips as well of course!
A bikepacking trip without a pub visit , that won’t happen on this channel unless there closed 😂 atb Dave 🚲⛺️🍺👍
Nice one Dave, top work. You've put down some decent mileage this year, covered a big chunk of the canal network and done your bit to support the local pubs! Thanks for bringing us along though Dave, I appreciate how much harder it can be to film while on the bike compared to when on foot. It's a great way to travel though and you're videos have made me contemplate going on a longer bikepacking adventure. Happy New Year to you and yours, all the best 👍
Thanks mate , more trips planned for next year and highly probable a canal will be involved. Looking forward to wherever you trusty steed takes you 🚲⛺️👍 And yes we will continue to support the pubs along the way. All the best for 2025 Dave
Great memories. I hope we can go on a trip next year.
Thanks James , yes that would be great if we could ⛺️🚲🍺👍
nice recap Dave a bit of everything 🚴⛺🍺🔥a bit less wind & rain next year would be nice. sorry to hear about Ian's dog been there its sad .
Thanks Geordie , yeah some good weather would be nice. You will know the emotions then 🙏
so pleased you did this compalation ... the sheep fold camps looked perfect ... please give Ian my best. peace pall. ps happy new year
Yeah sheepfold was a good one, I will pass on your regards to Ian 🙏

Thanks mate , looking forward 2025 🚲⛺️👍
Brilliant catch up Dave I remembered it all very enjoyable. See you and Ian in the New Year. Cheers B. K. O by the way how is Ian’s dog doing. ?
Thanks Brian , sadly Ian’s dog was at end of life and passed away yesterday. 🙏 atb Dave
@@davesolobiker5601 so sad
I always say this. I need to get out on my bike more. And make more cycling videos.
2025 New Year’s resolution note to self , I must get out on my bike and make more cycling videos 🚲📸👍 go for it James
@@davesolobiker5601it’s gonna be awkward to get out much as I work nights. And it’s getting unsafe to go out around the town at night, there was another murder last week. A teenager was stabbed to death.
@ I saw that , knife crime is out of control these days. Stay safe down there 👍
The last time i was at these places was in 1968 travelling by train from Melrose to Carlisle!
A lot has changed since then !
@@davesolobiker5601 I had a workmate at 14MU in Carlisle in the 1980's who said that he went shooting foxes in whitrope tunnel. Being an animal lover I didn't agree with doing that!
@ yeah I’m quite fond of foxes and I see plenty on my travels as a driver.
Great video ' what's the light your using on the pannier with the bracket ' it's a belter.
Yes it’s a great light especially in strobe mode 💥👍 - www.amazon.co.uk/MOONLIGHTS-Moon-Nebula-Rear-Light/dp/B07WCQ7B1M/ref=asc_df_B07WCQ7B1M?mcid=e10459a844ae354e812e44e9e6d55f46&tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=697292508373&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=4705003543370254234&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9046734&hvtargid=pla-826213694151&psc=1&gad_source=1
well done got out meself today first spin in a while .look forward to see new baby.
Great stuff, it’s always good to get out for a spin 🚲👍
Another bit of the old RAF Carlisle going under more Wimpey boxes. Great. 🤦♂️
Yes , overpriced boxes at that ! As if they haven’t built enough houses around the town 🤷♂️
