@MartinWhite-i5u Yes, we must keep going.

@VisualthinkingCoZa Yes, it's probably the best e bike that lve owned.

@maureenarnold-hc4sg yes Maureen, l bought it at a reasonable price, so very pleased. It is a heavy bike, but much the same weight as a Mirider when the battery is taken out. Also, it is easy to put in the car.

@davidsutherland3689 Thanks David.

@johnstait483 it's the shame you have to scrap it. If you go for the Brompton electric, it will probably cost you about 2.5K. Have a look at the Volt Metro. It's a bike that's very reliable and comes in at 2K new.

@spencersmith1296 l got a pack of 4 on eBay for £2. Then l got a guy who fixes laptops to solder it for me. I did try to solder myself but made a mess of it.

@red6243 No, l sorted it by renewing the adapter. See my other video on this.

@JamesCookeVlogs it's an easy fix. Just watch my follow-up videos.

@RoadtrekRich thanks for that. When we get to retirement it's important not to give up. I seen plenty of people who do, but we must keep going. I like your channel and have subscribed to you also. All the best from me, Tony.

@Tanstaafl1976 Hi, having 6 speed will make very little difference and will cost you around £400 Just change the front chain ring, and you will see a massive difference for around £20

@@keep-going I recently (i.e., over the past 2 days) had the opportunity to choose between a 3- and 6-speed C line Explore - same British racing green color, relatively new, and in great shape. I chose the 6-speed because the seller was amenable to lowering his price AND threw in a $240 Borough Roll Top Bag (Large) and $210 rear rack, plus the sought-after 44-tooth front chain ring and several additional pairs of various rear rack wheels that I could substitute in if I wished. Another factor for me is my knee, which can cause me some problems. Having the lower gearing of the 6-speed on hills can help mitigate the risk of some pain and troubles on the trail. "Pam" breaks down these differences in this video: th-cam.com/video/GOEWU5l595w/w-d-xo.html I do like the idea of the 3-speed, quite honestly. I've been reading up on the differences, and it seems that the consensus is that the 3-speed is a bullet-proof and reliable performer.

@@Tanstaafl1976 Greetings. I have a M6R with titanium fork and rear triangle since 2012. About 2 years ago I changed the chainring from 50 to 44 teeth. Have never had a transmission problem, and only parts changed were the pedals and the seat post clamp (once). I would alway choose 6 gears because the gear range of 302% vs 177% for 3 speeds. That is because we like to go fairly fast in general and downhill in particular with our BromptonNYC club. (Am 65 years old). New York is not particularly hilly, with some nasty exceptions.

@@oe59 Thanks for this feedback and it's great to know that switching to the 44-tooth up front won't cause any shifting probs. I just had my maiden voyage aboard my M6R yesterday and experimented with its gears while riding to and on the beach path in L.A. The lowest gear was lower than I expected, but in fall 2025 I plan to take it to So. Korea to ride the 633km Four Rivers Ride over a week's time - here's just one of many vids of that ride: th-cam.com/video/C9ZUwmaU0rM/w-d-xo.html I'm packing for wild camping so I'll be a little weighted down. That 6-speed trans, coupled with the 44-tooth up front, will come in handy because there are some climbs on the route. And, right on! I'm 66 and will be 67 when I do this ride! Cheers!

@finncarlbomholtsrensen1188 Hi Hi Finn, The Mirider is shown on many of my videos on my channel. Thanks for your comment's. All the best from Scotland and me Tony.

@@keep-going I have found pictures of the MIRIDER, and it looks smart, but still only fold to a ½ bike, so it isn't an actual competitor to a Brompton. Like the American, former Army type Bike: Montague, which is an Mtb with "normal size" wheels, which also folds ½! I'm sure if needing a bike for their purposes, both are fine in their way, but if needing the Fold, none is better than the Brompton compromize between portability and riding a bike. Finn

@@keep-going Okay, I'm sorry but I haven't noticed those. And before Covid19 I looked at several types assisted folding bikes for an Import from China, and then got my Makita from a Sale here in Denmark. Using two Tool Batteries its efficient riding distance was limited, though I could have brought several batteries in a bag, of course? But riding from my own power feels better and more assuring, at least. Finn

@davidsutherland3689 Thanks for that, David, most appreciated.

@allanb2906 Thanks for that, Allan. There is nothing wrong with the Brompton electric. I just didn't like the bag on the front and the cost factor also. Hope you have fun and my happy years on them.

May I ask what car you drive please?myself and girlfriend are thinking about getting a mirider each and have the same thinking as yourself about taking them away on holiday,we have a Volkswagen t roc,we are hoping it will be big enough for 2 miriders,hopefully we’re heading to Wigan next week to hopefully try them out

@blaagoku l have a Honda Jazz. It's great as it has what they call magic seats. I can put the mirider in the back seat well, without unfolding.

@@keep-going thanks mate

@deldewar5893 you won't notice the difference with the titanium when pedalling. Perhaps trade the two for an electric Brompton. Another suggestion - Lower the gearing on your current Brompton, and you be amazed at the difference. A 42 tooth ring is very cheap to buy.

I have much modified my 2019 SuperlightM6LXBrompton, with mudguards, as a "Rainy Dane", to now below 9 kilo and very close to the weight of a T-line, also with added mudguards of course! Most loose parts are now titanium and carbon, even the "Heavy Metal" clamps on my mudguards, with titanium stays, and my front axle! And no problems from the starnge holes by the hinges! Finn. Denmark

@TR4zest you are welcome, thank you.

@davidsutherland3689 Thanks, David.

I've had a lot of cameras over the years, but this one is by far the best. I would recommend it to anyone, John.

@@eprohoda thankyou.

@maureenarnold-hc4sg should be ok as there is no power coming from these wires. The power goes in from the charger only. But you are right, Maureen safety first. I've now sent for the correct adapter, they are a £1 each and will just attatch the wires when it arrives. Mirider should supply these instead of forcing a new battery on us.

@johnarmstrong626 think lve found the right size charger port, so lve sent off for it £3 for 5 of them. Then l will just solder the negative and positive wires to it, and that should be that. Mirider should be selling these things instead of forcing a new battery on us.

I think l can repair it. Ebay sells charging ports. So l just have to take it apart and fit a new one. It's a bit awkward to do, but l will buy one and have a go. Only a fiver, so worth trying. I will do a video on this when l get the part.

Good u hv been researching. :)

lm wishing l hadn't bought one now. I thought l had blown a fuse in the battery, so l opened it up and guess what. There is no fuse. I think that's illegal. It's basically a junk battery that costs £300 to replace. Most reputable e bike batteries all have fuses in them and are easy to replace, but all you can do with the Mirider is buy a new battery. It's outrageous. Did you manage to buy a good bike in the end, Maureen?

@@keep-going Yes - I bought a 3 speed internal hub Batribike Dart 3 E. I couldn’t afford a Brompton but it goes on the Bus, Trains and the back of my Hyundai i10. 500 miles in 4 months and no issues. Interest free from Allen’s E-bikes in Leighton Buzzard. Came by Courier, fully assembled and I have never had any range anxiety. 30 plus miles with 50% left. I do pedal a bit though !

@maureenarnold-hc4sg Yes, l think you made a good choice there. Mirider is great when it's going, but it's very unreliable. I would never buy one again.

You can do something like l did or look at Man on the Outside channel. But as it has a low roof height, it is limited as to what you can do. You could also do a full conversion to open the roof up. There is a garage in Newcastle that does this to Ford Tourneo.

Thanks, David. I'm trying my best.

Thanks for that, John. I had my Brompton for 12 years, but it was time for a change. Mirider is better because you can go on most types of trails and can put chunky tyres on it. Everything is integrated, with the battery in the main tube. It's also not a bad fold, and if you have a Honda Jazz, like me, you can put it in the back seating area without folding. I would say go for one if you fancy a change. Overall, l think it's better.

I'm finding at £17.50 to go on a bit much. Especially if you have family with you. But it's unique and a once in a life time thing.

John, l deleted the "Witches of Boness" video by misstake and l think you commented . I've re uploaded it, can you comment again so l can reply. Thanks Tony.

Thanks David

I think l did John in one video, but it was ages ago. I will be going there in a week or so. Hopefully, it's a good day, and l can do a new video there. Hope you get to the Kelpies soon, John and thanks for always supporting my channel.

Thanks Dave.
