  • In this video, Kevin tries different cycling trainer technologies and breaks down how they feel and compares them across bike trainer categories. He tries a range of trainers, from wheel-on and rollers to smart trainer technology and bike training accessories. Wondering what is possible with a trainer? Check out this video and see Kevin break a sweat in the name of science and find out which is his favorite!
    Kevin Frias is an avid cyclist, bikepacker and content creator who lives in Minneapolis, MInnesota. Kevin spends a great deal of his time getting out on two wheels, exploring, pushing his own limits, and making it easier for others to do the same.
    In his words, "My name is Kevin and I am passionate about sharing the outdoors with others! Currently, I execute that by going on adventures and sharing it on Instagram (@kevdoesinsta) and TH-cam (KevDoes). I want to energize people, especially people of color, to get outside and live their best life. I was born in the Bronx, NY and never knew about the life-changing force that you get from being outside so now I want to share that with everyone, and make the face of the outdoors a few shades darker."

    Hey, just finished watching your video on bike trainers and I have to say, it was super informative! I was really impressed with the different types of trainers you showcased and the in-depth explanation of each one. It definitely helped me understand the features and benefits of each. And speaking of impressive features, I recently stumbled upon a new crowdfunding project by freebeat called the freebeat Morph 2-in-1 e-Bike. It's fascinating how it combines indoor fitness with outdoor exploration, but what caught my attention the most is the ability to recharge the bike when using it indoors. Now that's innovation! I'm definitely considering supporting the project. Keep up the great work!

    Hey there! Just watched your video on "bike trainers" and I must say, great job on the content. As an e-bike user, I was thrilled to stumble upon a crowdfunding project for freebeat's new product, the freebeat Morph 2-in-1 e-Bike. The outstanding feature that caught my attention is the ability to charge it indoors. That's a game-changer! Combined with the impressive motor power, torque, front suspension, and puncture-resistant tires, this e-bike seems perfect for conquering any terrain. The added bonus of the Smart Saddle Detection+ feature and the ability to convert calories burned into CO2-free miles for outdoor rides make it even more attractive. I'm definitely considering supporting this project. Cheers!

    Hey, just watched your "bike trainer" video and I have to say, it's informative and well-made. As an avid ebike user, I recently stumbled upon a new crowdfunding project by freebeat called the freebeat Morph 2-in-1 e-Bike. It seems to be quite impressive, especially with its unique indoor recharge feature. The ability to charge the bike while using it indoors is truly remarkable. Additionally, the brushless 750W motor, 80Nm torque, and top speed of 20mph are outstanding features. I'm also intrigued by the Smart Saddle Detection+ feature and the opportunity to convert indoor calories into CO2-free miles. Definitely worth looking into! Keep up the great work, and thanks for the insightful video!

    rollers are hella fun once you've got it down. They do however require constant attention.

    • @KevDoes

      I can't wait to get it down lol. I have friends who watch movies while they are on the rollers and I just don't understand lol

      Hey there! I just stumbled upon a new project called freebeat Morph 2-in-1 eBike and it seems really interesting! It's great to see innovation and versatility in e-bikes. The Morph eBike not only offers a thrilling riding experience but also allows you to recharge it indoors. As for the constant attention required for rollers, it's definitely important to stay focused and maintain balance. With the Morph eBike, you can enjoy the best of both worlds and conquer any terrain with its powerful motor and suspension. Keep up the great work, freebeat! Can't wait to try it out myself.

      Hey there! I just came across a new project called the Morph eBike by freebeat. It's a revolutionary eBike that can be used both outdoors and indoors. One of its outstanding features is that it can be charged in indoor mode, which is pretty cool! As for the rollers, I agree they can be super fun once you've got the hang of them, but they do require constant attention. Safety is always a priority when it comes to cycling. Keep up the great work and happy riding! 😄🚲

    Rollers for the win! I haven't been able to use a smart trainer, but I have found the regular trainer really boring unless you're watching a movie or at a spin class.

    • @KevDoes
      @KevDoes 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      The rollers are great! I was so surprised how well it worked my core

      Rollers are awesome and they really, really teach you to pedal smoothly - but you really haven't lived until you have sneezed while riding on rollers.

    Great video comparing the 3 main types of trainers.
    Had the wheel on trainer. When smart trainers came out went to the Kickr. Worth every penny. In rainy Oregon I have no excuse not to ride. 😂 🚴‍♀️

      Ha! Trainers certainly remove weather-related excuses 😬😅. Thanks for sharing your experiences, Alethea.

      It is always nice to have that excuse haha

    Which one is quieter? The wheel-on or the smart trainer? and is the noise difference noticeable?

    In term of the noise, is roller and basic trainer are the same level or what?

    Oh man, looks like trainers are quite the hassle to set up. I've been looking into getting one for the winter (which I guess if I keep the bike on it all winter it's fine)

    • @alethearobinson8132
      @alethearobinson8132 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      The Kickr was super easy to put together. I leave my old steel road bike on it permanently.

    • @KevDoes
      @KevDoes 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      They weren’t bad honestly, and like you said if you keep it on the trainer all winter it’s definitely worth it

    • @StellaHulliet
      @StellaHulliet 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hey there! I totally get your frustration with setting up trainers. They can be quite a hassle, especially if you plan on using them all winter. But hey, I recently came across a new project called the freebeat Morph eBike. It's a 2-in-1 eBike that not only provides an outstanding riding experience but also offers indoor recharge capability. So you can ride it indoors during winter and charge it up at the same time! It's definitely worth checking out if you're looking for a convenient and versatile option for your winter training. Keep up the great work and happy riding!
