hahahaha 😱

hey jeff, hope you've been well brotha! Yea man, I love NYC but it freaking pisses me off sometimes lol. You're right though, people are hating on what they don't understand and it's easier to vilify it. hahaha thanks man, the moment I saw that helmet I knew i had to have it. It looks and wears so much better than the TSG 1.0!

thanks for joining us for the s73s return and welcome back to the comments! I'm totally right there with you. I get there are idiots that are doing stupid things and there are the fires, but they don't represent the community as a whole. Just the hatred and push back that we're getting from a particular group of people almost makes it feel like there's a personal agenda or they have a vested interest in the failure of the industry. Anyways lol, I appreciate the support!

thanks for joining us for the S73 group ride and welcome to the channel Lloyd! Happy to hear you enjoyed the video!

thanks for joining us for this S73 ride and welcome to the channel Sid! You're absolutely right. I was just talking with a buddy of mine today and I already knew that the answer was becoming my own boss as a content creator with my own office/ garage and while becoming a home owner outside of NYC. Just gotta stay on the current path and continue to build towards that goal!

i appreciate you sharing your opinion but I disagree. Just because you think it sucks doesn't make a fact for everyone else. There are plenty of us that enjoy S73 bikes and are extremely happy with it. Thankfully there are plenty of options out there so everyone can find something that works for them. So you do you and we'll stay over here and continue to enjoy our Supers

@@eyebahnrides👍🏽true-to each their own🙏🏽💯

@@JerseyStyle7 yup that's what makes the hobby fun

@@eyebahnrides🤙🏽

thanks for joining us for the s73's return! I was so happy that I got the chance to ride it again. It's such a great bike and I have it tuned exactly the way I like it. It might be a pain to get to being in storage, but I'll do my best to continue to make videos with it. I'm also hoping that it's a temporary thing and we'll eventually sort things out.

thanks for joining us for the s73's return to the rotation! Yea man, it's funny that I just spoke about not every PEV needs to be your balls stuck to the wall fast and we got a comment from someone who is like Supers suck because "insert speed value proposition comment here" lol. I hate when people try to force their opinion on you. Just let those of us that love what we love live our lives! Oh man, thats crazy with that ebike ban at your inlaw's building. It's an all to common sight across NYC now. It's interesting because the city itself is taking this more "PEV friendly approach" while the landlords seem to be pushing an agenda.

@@eyebahnrides Your welcome, The only requirements I look for in a e-bike is: -Can it get hills on steep inclines because Mount Vernon is just hills 🤣 -Is it fast enough to keep up with traffic -Does it come with hydraulic brakes I have learned a lot from my first e-bike and my old sit down scooters with horrible battery life 🤣. Battery fires as you already know is the main reason why landlords are not allowing e-bikes in apartments, the class and style of the bike not so much. But your neighbors, OMG he’s bringing a Harley Davidson in the elevator 🤣. When I get my new e-bike I’ll just continue street parking it with multiple locks and removing the battery. Excellent video Ivan.

thanks for joining us for the S73s return to the channel and welcome to the comments section AC! I'm right there with you. I've already had to let go of my Nami Burn E due to landlord issues, I'd rather not have it happen again with the S73!

thanks for joining us for the s73s return! Yeaaaaaaa man.... It's already happened to be with the Nami Burn E and I hoping it doesn't happen with the S73 as well. I don't mind parting with something so that someone else can enjoy it, but being forced to because of a Karen sucks ass lol

One thing landlords don't even know they must fear, it's a disgruntled, bullied tenant. Is heat included? Might want to crank it up & open the windows. Oops,. missed the garbage bin a gain. Who left a roast beef sandwich in the elevator's call-box? Sir, you look cold. How about your stand in our doorway to warm up while you boot black tar heroin? I'd never do these things, but people do push back.

thanks for joining us for the s73's return to the channel! It's pretty insane how much this is happening with Midtown landlords. I'm glad that you guys were able to find that compromise with them. That's the similar compromise we had in our old building. Management would allow us to store a ton of bikes, scooters, EUCs, esk8, edirtbikes etc as long as noone was charging. That building was more afraid of battery fires, but my new building doesn't seem to be as worried about that. They seem to only be interested in avoiding conflict with the building Karens I definitely haven't given up and I hope that putting the bike in our storage unit is just a temporary thing. Maybe a solution will land in all of our laps or maybe the channel will blow up and I'll end up as a full time creator with my garage/office space and a new home! Stranger things have happened!

thanks for joining us for the s73s return to the channel RJ. Yeaa, it's definitely a frustrating feeling especially when it's meant to be a more freeing alternative to taking our crappy MTA system lol! Thanks! I'm starting to feel much better but still recovering even though it's been a week since that bug knocked me out for a few days

thanks for joining us on the S73's return to the channel! Yea man, I'm totally getting that feeling more and more over the past 5 years. A move out of NYC and a possible move into being my own boss. It definitely sucks to put the bike into storage space that I have to pay for, especially because I bought an S73 since it was the closest to legal compared to all the other options. You're right. Making a scene will only hurt my case and probably hurt my standing with my company. Until I'm ready to be my own boss as a content creator, I'm going to need to have a good relationship with the company I work for and the landlord. But yea, it's always a lose lose situation when it involves landlords of NYC lol

thanks for joining us for the s73's return to the channel! Yea man, I totally get what you mean. There's no reasoning with the unreasonable. However, making sure that I provide as much information while making sure I document the process in writing is all I can do right now as someone that's worked on the landlord side of the real estate business. Fortunately, the temporary solution of using our storage unit to house the bike is working. I do hope to have a more permanent solution in the coming year!

thanks for joining us for the s73's return! hahaha yea,

thanks for joining us for the S73's return Katon. Unfortunately, this isn't something that can be solved with a lawyer. As a person that's worked on the Landlord side of the real estate business, I can tell you they can basically do whatever they want since they'll most likely out spend you in court. It's an all to common sight across NYC at the moment where the loud minority of PEV haters are getting the landlords to side with them by using media's sensationalized misinformation as evidence. For now the storage solution will help me get by but I hope to have a more permanent solution in the coming year.

thanks for joining us on the S73's return! I'm so happy that I got a chance to ride the bike again. I completely forgot how good this damn thing is!

thanks for joining us for the S73 ride and I'm glad you enjoyed it Jimmy!

thanks for joining us on the S73 ride Cory! I'm doing the best I can to be patient while I work towards a temporary resolution at the office and at home. I think the only permanent solution is to really go into the TH-cam business and owning our own home outside of NYC but that's a conversation for another day lol. Yea, I would totally be bummed if I had to let this bike go. It sucks and I hope we never have to get there. The whole storage thing is working out for now so we'll just have to see it on the channel when the schedule permits lol.

thanks for joining us for the S73 ride around Queens! Nah, there's no parking garage in the office building. My old building's landlord had a large pev/bike parking facility about 2 blocks from my job so I could just chain up there and not have to worry about my bike because it was under constant surveillance!

I was actually thinking about that but like you said I don't really want to ride around with additional 20lb strapped on to my back lol. I don't mind the walk if the weather is nice. My only complaint is committing 3-5 hours for a 1-2 hour recording is a bit hard to do when you gotta do things for life lol

@@eyebahnrides I was gonna suggest that. If you're paying for a parking spot, maybe charging the bike then storing it in your vehicle, or like he said, find a place nearby who'd let you pick it up on the way out...easier said than done though I know the reality is usually different. You could disguise it as a car. Cardboard all around, fake car sounds, even a rubber honk-honk horn, umbrella for a roof. Get down the street, fold it up into a briefcase. Or even better, get a Honda with one of those fart-canon exhaust pipes. They want you in a car, they're getting one.

thanks for watching! Yea man, it's an incredible feeling. The bike will just remind you why it's so damn good. You might have to drop off the flex for a little bit to make room for old faithful!

thanks for joining us on the S73 ride! Yea, I'm sure the community feels it. It's an all too common occurrence in the city at the moment. I hope that we can eventually move past stuff like this in the future!

thanks for joining us for the S73 Ride and thank you for sharing. I 100% agree with you. I know I'll probably sound like a conspiracy theorist but I feel that there's some type of illegal collusion between the landlords, the city, MTA, and the car lobby. For a city that desperately needs alternative transportation solutions, the landlords seem to be pushing unusually hard despite NYC's more "PEV Friendly" stances. Like you said, there are plenty of other problems that they should be worried about but PEVs seem to be the easy target for them because it's new and they won't get killed in the court of public opinion

​@@eyebahnrides Hey, this is likely TLDR, so no offense taken if you don't get to read this, seriously, I've been worried about this overregulation for some time, and I can't even begin to share how much money, time & maintenance I've saved by not using my car for 4 months more than maybe three times. My Subaru WRX gets pretty bad mileage. I'm usually grossed out by conspiracy theories too - but the absolute one single conspiracy theory I ever believed in was the active contempt petroleum PACs have over the EV industry in North Amerca. When the first Tesla S came out, you'll remember, 16yr olds were beating every noisy car on the 1/4mile track, in silence, I knew there would be massive change. We watched petro influence do everything they could to block the industry. I really, really dislike Elon, but the people he hired to create those cars are geniuses. You'll recall when they first came out, the media junkets that happened whenever a Tesla caught fire - which was far, far less than ICE cars, but the media couldn't wait to make it front page. A piece of metal on the highway comes up & pierces the battery, that is bad news. Battery fires are very humbling. Fact was, Teslas were not bursting into flames spontaneously, in fact they were far less likely to immolate than ICE cars, but how does that saying go - a lie will make it around the world ten times before the truth even gets its pants on? Elon's impossible to like, so "elon's exploding cars" worked its way into the public psyche. Just watch my hero Pete Buttigieg being grilled on EV tech in Congress, those rubes are relentless & FOX only play the loaded questions, not the debunking replies. But what is it about landlords & easily-annoyed tenants? I think most of it's jealousy, ignorance and the catharsis of lonely people being involved in something. IMO, landlords fear 5 things, in descending order of their own priorities: 1. COST: If electricity is included, I could see why they'd be more apt to upcharge for electricity. Can't ask them to play THEIR part in environmental efforts if it costs anything. 2. EFFORT: Do they have to reach out to every tenant with a PEV to filter out the dodgy PEVs? Are PEV's littering the halls or blocking entrances? Is enforcement costing them extra time? 3. SPACE: How many PEV's per tenant is too many? Are you only taking as much as your allotted space? Assuming the space & noise of not having a vehicle constantly coming & going isn't taken into account. 4. LEGAL: Will a landlord or their management have to spend time in court to evict someone on the basis of EV laws? What duty of care does building management owe everyone? What's the lowest common denominator - what behavior patterns are being noticed that are an actual danger/inconvenience? If some guy with a discount battery ends up toasting their entire floor, is it really the industry to blame or is it just the company that provided the battery? What do insurance companies REALLY know about this supposed increased risk? If it was just a few isolated incidents from shoddy batteries no longer sold, how would we even know? Would insurance companies reduce their rates on account of reduced risks & industry standards, or would they continue to use isolated, historical incidents to keep their rates up? Who stands up for the consumer here? *What are the PEV makers doing to lobby on their own behalf? Can we add our names to their legal petitions? Why don't they ask us?* 5. SAFETY: What certifications truly define 'safe'? Should PEV owners be required to inform the landlord of the battery certifications to their landlord to at least maintain a dialogue? I'm not anti-gun, I own guns (legally of course) myself here in Canada - but if a person can legally purchase & store firearms in their apartment without their insurance going up, how much more at risk ARE people? A CO2 fire extinguisher, regularly inspected, is a reasonable compromise, IMO, as a gesture of forbearance & again, an active dialogue. Extinguisher powder is corrosive. If you use a powdered extinguisher in your apt, you need to cover all your electronics, including TV's, scooters, computers, even cellphones immediately. It cannot be vacuumed. So CO2 is the best option that I know of. I think you're right about people when they've made up their minds - they dig their heels in. It sounds like people simply need to be more informed. Landlords could really mend fences by sending out a newsletter to tenants - or a sign in the elevator - in the spirit of "let's all have a meeting or an open dialogue about the riding of, and storage of, PEV's [as it pertains to the property ONLY]". Like, how have you been at risk or your lifestyle affected specifically on the premises only, not some kid on a rental scooter almost running into them elsewhere. PEV manufacturers should be working as one, to pay for ad space or even a commercial, to dispel rumors. Not glossing over the negative events, but instead focusing on how federal standards must now be met, so as to not have them happen again. The real stats are far lower than the assumptions. The enviro-angle as well - how much gas have you not burned, how much space have you not taken up in traffic, how much noise have you not caused? I told the tenants in my building in the elevators when they saw me with the scooter, that it's a Canadian product that has all the certifications for safety, and is no riskier than a cellphone. They might not have cared, but they're still less likely to complain. I told my landlord as well. But the lowest common denominator has to be considered, I know - thing is, it's not hard to single them out. Even a passive-aggressive sign - "SCOOTERS / E-BIKES: We are a PEV-friendly property, but please help us by WALKING your scooter, powered off, when on premises. Please also wipe your wheels before coming in. Thank you, -Mgmt".

thanks for joining us on this wet weather test for the X4! Glad you enjoyed it because I wasn't really going to post this video since the audio needs a little tweaking. Reducing power to the front in wet conditions is a must. I wish the Namis had the "traction control" feature that the Wolf King GTRs have. I avoid turning on the paint as well. The painted cycle ways can be slick despite the city claiming that it's not any different than the regular roads lol. I'll check out the video a bit later when I finish catching up with youtube stuff. Thanks for sharing!

blast max for the change of pace. I'd rather own the E2 max than the E2

@@eyebahnrides I think I saw your other video you said you would probably pick the E2 over the E2 Max because it was more comfortable

thanks for watching one of the original full commute experience videos on the channel. I definitely live in NYC but I dont really have connections with batteries like that since it's extremely difficult to get not UL Certified batteries in the city because of all the battery fires. I don't think companies can ship non certified batteries into NYC without running the risk of fines, closure, and even arrest. With that in mind, I only have one battery producer that I would trust in the tristate area. You can reach out to Powerful Lithium in Jersey city. They've done everything from complete new builds and repairs. They're definitely going to cost a bit more than dangerous chop shops but you'll have the peace of mind that your home isn't going to burn down. I hope this helps!

Space was never really the issue. It's more like an annoying by product of living in NYC. If I didn't have any issues with my building management and I had space, I would honestly have both the Burn E and the Klima Max. Each one represents a different riding experience. The Klima would be my daily commuter while the Burn E would be the long range/ group ride scooter.

thanks for joining us for one of the long range overview videos on the channel. This was a base Nami Klima that belonged to a buddy of mine. I got my personal Klima Max about 8 months ago and I have 1500 miles on it so far.

@@eyebahnrides how long have you had it & any problems when you got it vs now?

thanks for joining us on this review of the Handlworks controller and welcome to the channel Carlo. I'm running the stock battery alongside the gen1 chi battery ranger in this video. It does require you to download a separate settings from the the Handlworks members page so that the BAC855 can take advantage of the additional power
