Damn that dude ate it hard, that's a prime example to wear your gear if you're commuting, because dealing with the sweating is a lot better than getting messed up in a fall for sure. The one way you can actually tell if they're a real cop for all the SUV's is that when they're all sold to police departments they will never install the roof rack for luggage. Awesome video man, I've always wondered what it's like in NYC, you definitely have to keep your head on a swivel with that crazy traffic lol.
Thanks for watching and welcome to the channel JD, I appreciate ya. That guy fell so hard that I never saw him on the scooter again. I used to see him almost everyday and he was always reckless when I saw him. I have to do an updated version of this video for summer traffic because it's been getting really bad =/. You're absolutely correct about the head on a swivel. Everything in this city from the roads, to the vehicles, to the people are trying to knock you off your PEV lol
Was recommended this channel. Subscribed since I deleted a ton of ebike channels over the winter, it's Spring and,always good to start fresh with a new NYC point of view.😊
Thanks for watching the video and welcome to the channel! I hope you enjoy the content that I have currently and the content that I plan to make. I appreciate the support 👊🏼🙏🏼
My wife and I love LA! I'm glad that you enjoyed getting to see the craziness of NYC. There's a beauty to the madness that we see and experience every day here lol
Thanks William! I'm glad I can make videos that you can continue to enjoy. These videos are a lot of fun for me to make because I don't have to cover a topic like in the RideVlogs and I can focus on going faster on the ride! As always, thank you for your continued support, I appreciate ya👊🏼
@@Steven-qm1xo thanks man, definitely blessed to have it. It wouldn’t be possible with out the local Fluidfreeride guys. They maintain my pev and have been super helpful with all my questions!
Hey Ian, thanks for watching the video and welcome to the channel. Congrats on your new scooter, I'm excited for you to start riding it! How are the scooter laws in Croatia? Are they as strict as the rest of the EU?
@@ian-wr1hk thanks for the sub! That's great that you can get to ride on the footpath. Hopefully, they allow you on other roads in the future. Safe riding and enjoy that vsett10+! I got to ride it a few times and it was alot of fun.
Nice video, have you ever thought about doing a series on show me the way, people would request a start and destination and you do the ride to show them the best way and the level of difficulties of ride. I live in Yonkers (Midland ave and kimball) and work in Long Island city, I would love to see what the ride would be.
Hi Hubert, thanks for watching the video and thank you for the amazing video idea! I was thinking of something like this in the future. The thing is, my work schedule is actually pretty crazy so almost all of my content is recorded on my way to or from work. If I can reclaim some more of my time, that would be such a fun series to do!
Hey Dayron, thanks for watching the video and welcome to the channel. I'm glad you enjoyed it! I've seen those Yume x11s flying around and its definitely a beast. Ride safe out there man, people are crazy lol. Btw, since you take a similar route. Have you started seeing NYPD stopping big scooters like ours?
Started following you mate im from south side queens i just recently bought a kaabo wolf king and im loving it i came across your content and watch everytime as i eat my lunch keep it up and stay safe.
Hey Jpositive, thanks for watching the video and welcome to the channel! Congrats on your new Wolf King, it's a beast of a scooter so ride safe out there. I literally do the same thing during my lunch break at work, I watch ridevlogs and motovlogs while I'm eating my food. I'm glad you're enjoying the videos, I hope you have fun watching the current catalogue and all the videos that are coming out in the future.
Just got a Burn e2 max and love the sine wave controllers. For an experienced rider, its easy to just jump on and figure out how to ride it. My last scooter was a Weped gt50e which i learned to love, but the throttle was all or nothing all the time lol
Congrats on your new BE2Max! The sine wave controllers are incredible and I hope it becomes an industry standard. The last time I tried a Weped, it was pretty rough to control in the city because it was balls to the wall all the time. The last thing I want is that front end getting away from me on our unpredictable roads.
@@eyebahnrides for sure, where I live there are lots of decent open roads 45 to 50 mph, so getting to speed fast is priority. After waiting 3 years for a RION that never came (I'm one of the suckers that got scammed), it's nice to have a 50 mph scooter again. Coming from a Currus Panther, Wolf 11+.... Cheers!
@@myplaxismodelisbetterthanyours that's pretty awesome. I could see how the open roads would make it easier to get used to the Weped. I almost fell for the RION hype a few years ago. A buddy of mine talked me out of it and I'm glad that he did. The horror stories I hear about all the waiting and the lack of support once you get it is crazy.
@@myplaxismodelisbetterthanyours the thumb throttle is tricky for me but i'm also new to pevs. For me the dead spot on the throttle gives me the all or nothing feel on the NBE2 Max i recently bought.
@@cocoabiscuits this is my first scooter with a thumb throttle. I wish it was a better quality part and located in a slightly different position. It is still tricky to throttle without doing burnouts, but much easier to control than some scooters in the past. I like the dead spot, as it is a bit forgiving if you bump it on accident. I also wouldn't be surprised if there was some performance variability in the throttle from scooter to scooter, as the part is so damn cheaply made
BTW, I forgot to ask what sideview mirrors are those? I can't find them anywhere. I'll keep you posted. The Klima arrives on the 19th. Also, I'll use your code on a jacket.
Hi Daniel Congratulations on your new Klima! Enjoy the heck out of it and stay safe out there. No pressure to do so with the link and codes but it is appreciated🙏🏼. Interestingly enough these are side mirrors I found on amazon. I went through a few of them but this one gave me the balance clarity, width, and quality for the price. They're the Kemimoto Oval Side Mirrors: amzn.to/3iwXKTm.
@@eyebahnrides thanks! I just ordered them. I’ll touch base again soon. Really appreciate your videos they’re fun to watch and very inspiring. Oddly I can’t find the right jacket now. I think it was about$150 and had shoulder, back and elbow guards inside. We definitely should stay in touch. 😊 btw my wife’s from Philippines 🇵🇭 and I think she said she noticed you were filipino.
Hi Rommel, thanks for watching the videos and I’m glad you enjoy it! When my wife and I go back to Manila, I hope I can join one do the group rides 🙏🏼 Salamat ulit bossing!👊🏼🇵🇭
Yo Ivan, nice little respectful ripper to work, brother!!!! I love it when I get to give Herbie some juice, even if it's a short little punch. They need it every once in a while. It's finally perfect scootin weather! Look at you with the executive parking. Bro, the day ride home is a lot more intense than when you showed it at night. I've never been to NY, but mad respect on your skills and handling through all that chaos. Gotta keep that head on a swivel. Loved the adventure Ride That Tasty Wave
Hey Weldonator, thanks for watching the video and I'm glad you enjoyed it. Having this heat and weather is both a godsend and a curse at the same time lol. The heat makes for fun riding but brings out all the folks that have been in hibernation. Wait till yall see the madness of navigating these streets in the summer lol. I hope everyone is ready to be stressed! I appreciate your kind words and support as always, safe riding my good sir!
Thank you for watching this video as well, it’s great to have you on the channel! If you want to see the equipment I use and the accessories on the scooter, it’s generally in the video’s description. Anyways, here’s the link! Kemimoto Oval Side Mirrors: amzn.to/3iwXKTm
Hey Ivan! Absolutely love this kind of videos, I would suggest a few things to make it even more immersive ) 1. Leave signal stops in the video to preserve the flow. Those impatient can skip, this in an immersion video not a thrill one, right? 2. Use 50/60 frame rate, otherwise at your speeds the picture starts to tear a bit ) 3. A one stop(step?) higher level of ambient sound, it would be nice to hear more from the things around. Your trip commentary is perfect in terms of words amount and emotion, keep it steady ) Thanks!
Thanks for the input Vredda. I was actually thinking of keeping the stops like I used to in my original videos. I felt that it broke the immersion for those trying to get that pov riding experience. The x3 is limited with the frame rates we can use at the highest resolution, I do have it scheduled to move up to the max for the videos I’m recording going forward. Now that there’s more light when I’m riding, I can use some cameras HDR abilities so the image isn’t as blown out. As for the sound I’m not sure if I can capture more ambient noise with my current set up. Maybe in the future I’ll be able to capture better sound with a better mic set up. As I do more of these and get better at recording and editing, my goal is to get to a more polished final product! Thanks for coming along on the journey.
@@eyebahnrides as for the demand for these kind of videos, check out ActionKid channel, his scooter ride videos are as much popular as walking ones. Will be looking for your future rides )
@@eyebahnrides yet another idea: I recently searched e-scooter videos on TH-cam using 'e-scooter ride NYC'. None of your videos came up, I found your channel later by watching those NYC huge group rides and picking up your nickname from footage. May be it's worth trying to use 'e-scooter' in video caption instead(with) of too specific 'Nami Burn E'.
during that time it was since we were just starting to get out of all the Pandemic procedures lol. Now its madness again. I'm not looking forward to when the companies eliminate the WFH hybrid schedule and everyone starts flocking back to the offices
thanks for joining us on one of the early versions of the Full Commute Experience videos and welcome to the channel Sammy! Yea man, that was crazy. The sad thing is, that's not even close to some of the crazy things I've encountered of camera. I should really start recording anytime I'm on these things lol
Thanks for watching this video as well! Your kind words and support are truly appreciated 🙏🏼. I really enjoy making (and watching) these "Full Ride" style videos because I gives those watching fun immersive tour of the area the video takes place in. I made a "Full Commute playlist" if you want to check out the other videos as well. Just pardon the older videos in the series because it took some time to dial in the style for the video!
@@eyebahnrides No worries, my family and I sat for hours watching all your trips in NY. I was so inspired that I just purchased the Klima Max last night from Fluidride after having a better understanding of the ins and outs in traffic in your videos. Very educational. My wife panicked a bit when that car cut off the scooter in front of you. You caught that moment on camera at the correct time. Hope he was ok. Also I looked and was wondering if you also have your own review on the TSG helmet. It looks like a good helmet from all the reviews. Seems to have better protection than the Preditor. Would really like to see one of your helmet reviews. Enjoying your channel the most by far. You should let fluid ride know your videos were very helpful for me. Thanks again and stay safe. Daniel drD E on the west coast SoCal.
@@drde4010 awww, thanks so much! I'm glad the family could enjoy the videos. As a NYer, it takes alot for us to not be cussing every other sentence but I try really hard not to in my videos because I want everyone to be able to enjoy it. It's sad how often the van situation happens in NYC. If you watch my video that says Rush Hour is Dangerous, you'll see a crash happen because a rider got cut off. That's why I always preach ride aggressively but also defensively. I had a bad feeling about the van and I listened to my gut. If I were blasting it, it would've been much worse and the driver and I wouldn't be laughing it off =(. Congratulations on your new Scooter! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. I know it's sounds like overkill, but I always encourage everyone to wear full protection when riding these high performance scooters. At the end of the day, they are performance vehicles and we should be prepared for the worst case scenario. I'm not a fan of looking like a robot ninja, so I wear armored shirts that are lined with kevlar and have CE2 protection on the elbows/forearms, shoulders, and back. The shirt actually saved me from a broken arm today because I crashed while on my Esk8. That's the second time this shirt has protected me in a crash! I have an affiliate link/ discount code that you can use if you'd like to purchase one. Saves you some $$ and helps generate a small commission for the channel! The TSG helmet did protect my face as well during the crash today so I'm glad I was wearing that instead of a regular helmet! linktr.ee/eyebahnrides I haven't done a TSG Pass Pro review yet. I do like the helmet alot (especially the way that it looks) but it does have its pros and cons. Pros: looks cool, light, amazing FOV, warm in the winter, and is rated for higher speeds than most helmets because its a DownHill Skateboard helmet. Cons: Visor is a scratch magnet, not the best airflow so it can hot inside, not DOT certified, and it costs alot. I'll probably do a helmet and gear video in the future. But I hope this helps for now. Again, thank you for your support of the channel. I appreciate you,
@@eyebahnrides No worries on cussing, your videos are from the heart. I’ve done the same in a few of my videos so I know. I appreciate the info and links. I’ll definitely look at the clothing safety aspects and use the code. Still learning what I don’t know about this so your videos have definitely been educational. I appreciate the feedback on the TSG. Many seem to suggest a full face helmet on these unique scooters and the TSG looked attractive because of the weight aspect of it. The link has an unusual layout so if I have any question I’ll just ask you but I’ll go through your link in more detail. When you’re speaking during the rides it’s the most authentic way to do it in my humble opinion plus the scenery is fun too. It would be fun to do an electric bike meet here on the west coast in SoCal but I don’t know anything about that. Fluid has the Klima Max’s on preorder at the moment, so I’ll just wait and watch your videos in the meantime. These riding videos are relaxing to watch. Thanks again and keep up the great work. 👍 Daniel
Thanks for watching the video! Yea, I seem him a lot and he’s always pissed and a little reckless. They were both trying to beat the red light and ir sucks that it happened. It’s crazy how the guy in the car just looked out his window and drove off after seeing the guy on the ground.
Thank you for watching the video and welcome to the channel, I hope you get a chance to ride the Nami in Czech Republic! How are the scooter laws over there? The bike lanes in NYC are not as good as some of the other cities in the world, but they work!
@@eyebahnrides Nami costs a lot of money with us. 😅 If a man drives carefully, does not needlessly provoke the police, is wearing a helmet and is visible, he can ride with impunity. But thanks to many idiots driving under the influence of alcohol, violating traffic laws, or being culpable in traffic accidents, a mandatory driver's license, registration of electric scooters and liability are planned from next year. So, next year, even the good guys won't be riding. 🙈 😕
That crash was so unexpected, thank goodness he had a helmet on. Really sucks that the driver got away which is literally a crime (hit and run) and breaking 2 traffic laws (failure to signal, running a red). I don’t think I’ll ever want to ride a small and slow PEV in traffic after seeing many crashes. A safe PEV is a medium-large PEV with many safety features like hydraulic brakes and even being peppy enough to divert from the path of a car.
Yea man, I didn’t see that coming. To be honest, I always thought it was bound to happen seeing him almost every day. He’s quite aggressive with his maneuvering even tho I feel like he’s in his own world not paying attention. But regardless, it was an ass move for the driver to not even check on the guy after breaking 2 laws 😅 It’s crazy that our safest options are the ones are the most legally gray lol.
@@eyebahnrides yes..the slower scooters are disrespected on the road here in Australia by the road users but they don't mess with my Nami as it rockets🚀 out in front of there view...🛴🛴🛴
@@emilyc1988you’re right. It’s a miss and run since there was no contact but the car still caused the accident. The TH-cam lawyer, Lord Ugo talks about miss and run incidents in his videos if you want to learn more.
@@emilyc1988 yup. Not riding defensively and inexperience knocked him off the scooter. You can tell that he wasn’t prepared to make quick last minute evasive maneuvers. I haven’t seen him since so I hope he’s ok 🙏🏼
Hi ! The ride was really great! Thx... The under index finger throttle seems very well suited and it must help maintain control over the handlebar. Where is it from? Do you have a website or an internet link? I also notice that you have adjusted the controls on the handlebar (turn signal, menu, etc.). Excellent choice, the Nami.👍👍👍 Manuel from France
Thanks for watching the video and welcome to the channel Manuel, I appreciate your support! The throttle I use was nicknamed "Polish Throttle" since it was first used on the Namis in Poland. I bought it from my local scooter shop but you can get them from people in the official Nami Facebook group. Just search the group for "polish throttle" and it should give you some leads for your search. It might also be easier to get in France because you guys have some of the best electric scooter shops! I love my throttle because it allows you to maintain full grip on the handlebars. The harder you accelerate the better your grip becomes because of the throttle style! I like having both of my controls on the left because its more natural for me to operate the buttons with my non throttle hand. I don't want to accidentally accelerate using the turn turn signals in its original position! I love my Nami and it's the best scooter I've ridden! Nami has a huge group in France, are you a member of their group?
As an ex-STROMER ST1 speedbike user, I'm now switching gears for my daily commutes (train+ e-scooter) and opting for a NAMI Burn E, all based on the excellent advice from my local dealer. For me, the scooter is a necessary step. The train company doesn't allow bicycles from 6:00 to 8:00 in the morning (scooters are fine). While I'm not currently a member of the Nami group in France, I'm working closely with my local dealer to potentially form a team for some exciting rides. The purchase of the Nami is scheduled for August 29th, and honestly, I can't wait to be on that "flying carpet." In my opinion, it's truly the perfect compromise, and since I'm not aiming for high speeds, I believe this scooter will more than meet my expectations and fulfill my needs for multi-modal commuting. Thanks again for the info on the Polish throttle!
thanks for watching the video and welcome to the channel! The mirrors are called Kemimoto Ovals. Here is the link Kemimoto Oval Side Mirrors: amzn.to/3iwXKTm
Hey John, thanks for watching the video! You’ve got two great options there for navigating the city! I’ve been meaning to get into eskate because I wanna experience that chill carving that you can only do on a long board!
@@jff757 I tried the EUC and rode for about 1000 miles. It’s definitely an fun but I remember carving on my mini board as a teenager and the sensation is very different and better IMO. I’m excited to try eskate! Just doing my research now on starter boards 🙏🏼
@@eyebahnridesi have a exway x1 max hub. Been using it for around 20 months now. Its great for beginners as it was my first electric board. Ive been riding penny boards my whole life before. Now im going to get a used nami burne2 not the max version that has less than 1000km on it. Im rlly excited to try it out this weekend
Hi Ivan 👋 great video once again 👍🏼 glad to see your hands are warm for a change 😅 I know what you mean about your jacket, mine does that too and all I wanna do is cool down lol I think the man that fell off the scooter could have maybe avoided that crash if he didn’t put his foot down so early. There’s some crazy people on the roads, stay safe man.
Thanks for watching the video, I appreciate ya 🙏🏼! The warmer weather is such a welcome change for all of us riders in NYC, but it also signals busy season on the streets 😭. Going forward, my commute videos are going to get crazier and crazier with traffic lol. About the angry guy that fell, I agree. There are a few times in the video that I noticed he was unstable when slowing down/stopping. I personally wouldn't ride in the city until I was comfortable stopping, dismounting, and can perform defensive maneuvers. For example, I didn't ride the Nami into work until I got about 100 street miles (160km) of experience with it. Absolutely, thank you for your support and safe riding out there!
Can’t tell you how many times I’ve had those close call on queens Blvd but I’ve learned to always be on the defensive with cars. Never roll up in their blind spot at an intersection.
Absolutely. I’ve had those issues on Queens Blvd and Northern Blvd. Even after watching that portion a few times during editing, it still makes me cringe 🫣
@@marcb2raw agreed. I see him quite often and he rides recklessly and with low awareness of what’s around him. I feel bad for what happened to him but that’s what happens when they both try to beat a red light.
Never try passing on far right or far left on a turn. He rode right up next to and into the cars blind spot. Be patient. Wait for the car to make there turn. I see it a lot in videos and they complain about the car. Not the cars fault. You’re supposed to ride with flow of traffic. Behind the vehicle in front of you. Lane split in the middle. Pass on the far sides only when traffic stopped or when there are no turns. Vehicle ahead has the right away. Silly electric ride, riders
Thanks for watching and welcome to the channel! I purchased the mirrors on Amazon. These are it (Kemimoto Oval Side Mirrors: amzn.to/3iwXKTm ). I really like them because the wider shape gives me good visibility. They're a bit pricier but I like that it's got good clarity and the glare isn't as bad as some of the plastic options.
Thanks for watching the video! In addition to the helmet, gloves, and goggles, I generally wear some sort of body armor thats lined with kevlar and have CE1 or CE2 elbow/shoulder/ back pads. Since I don't want to look like the White Ranger, I wear armored shirts/ jackets. For the most part I wear my BeyondRiders Summer Mesh in the Summer/Spring/ Fall. In the Winter, I wear my LazyRolling Reflective Jacket. But I will change into regular winter jackets when it gets too cold. If you want to check out the BeyondRiders Armored clothing, I'm an affiliate of theirs now! You can use this link (beyondriders.com/?ref=wrbae9zj) and use the code EyebahnRides and you'll get $10 off your order while the channel gets a small kickback! I actually plan on buying one of those armored flannels for the Fall. In addition to those, I occasionally wear Leatt Dual Axis Knee/ shin pads. It's rare but I have them for those days I'm trying something new or test testing new settings. I hope this helps!
@@eyebahnrides Thanks. I'll check them out. I'm planning to use my scooter to commute from Woodside to FiDi, so I'm looking to see what the options are.
@@mansingw you’re welcome! Thats a bit of a ride to FiDi so it helps to have it. There are cheaper options but I don’t like the look of having the pads on exposed. I prefer being able to throw the padded shirts on top of my suit jacket or dress shirt. On hotter days I just keep my jacket in my backpack and I wear the mesh padding on top of my shirt and tie. Good luck with the research!
Wow never seen footage like this before i`m waay out of the loop would love to do this one day looks like a lot of fun and it`s a very convenient mode of transport to work too. That`s a sub from me thanks ivan 🤙
Thanks for watching the video and welcome to the channel! I'm glad you enjoyed the POV riding footage, its definitely a faster and more enjoyable way of getting around this crazy city lol. I hope you enjoy the other videos in the catalog!
Hey buddy...big fan...I have a question...what's the best settings do you have your Insta360 camera on...for great video quality and not drain your battery so fast??? I ride a Dualtron Thunder here in the City..
Hey Prine Floyd, thank you for your kind words. I appreciate ya. Lately I’ve been shooting in Log color and I do all the color correction during the editing. I have sharpness on high and everything else is on auto. I’m not very savvy with camera settings so I let it do all the work lol. On the x3 I shoot in 5.7k and on the One RS I shoot in 4k. I have about an hour and 15 minutes to record per battery. On long rides like the group ride, I have the battery bases attached to an external battery pack so they charge while I ride. I know that hook up the battery pack directly their GoPro but I can’t do it because it shows up in the shot. Hope this helps! Safe riding out there man 👊🏼👊🏼
@@eyebahnrides thanks for getting back to me..I appreciate you and thanks for the Camera info...I'm still trying to learn my insta360 x3👍..have a great weekend...God Bless 🙏..
Hi Ivan, thanks for watching the video and welcome to the channel. I did the upgrade to the steel steering column about 2000 miles in. However, in this video I still had the original steering aluminum steering column. At 2000 miles, I also upgraded a few things on the scooter. The first time I had all the upgrades installed was on this ride ( th-cam.com/video/42_TnVtJ-Cw/w-d-xo.html )
I live in Brooklyn and was thinking about this scooter. I have an inokim ox now which can go 30ish and has a good range. The one thing about the burn e holding me back is the weight. If it starts pouring, there’s no way to carry this down the stairs to get on a train.
Thanks for watching the video and welcome to the channel Synapse2k! I completely agree with you about the weight. Loading it into my small sedan or lifting it on to a stool at home so I can make adjustments is a pain! The good news is the IP rating is something you can really believe and you can just ride in the rain. I've ridden through light rain and really wet roads, but I try to avoid downpours. I know people have said they've basically ridden through "hurricane conditions" in the forums, but I personally think it's a miserable experience riding in heavier rain lol. I did it once on my EUC and never again!
@@eyebahnrides I tried once in light rain and got soaked. If it starts raining, I hop on the subway but not many have elevators. I’m trying to find something that can do 40mph with a real world range of 30-36 miles and under 60 lbs. do you know of anything ?
@@uria702 To be honest I can't think of anything that I would trust. I'm sure there are options "on paper" but I'm pretty picky when it comes to trusting these things in my home. The only one close that I've ridden is the Nami Klima. Its 40+, you'll get 30-40 miles of range with highspeed city riding, and you'll get an IP rated scooter. The only catch is its 70something lbs. If you have time, I recommend checking out my long range video on the Klima. Just keep in mind I'm over 200lb in the video. If you're lighter than me your performance will be better. th-cam.com/video/kPP0DZRMJA0/w-d-xo.html I rode it in beautiful warm weather, however, my commute home was wet as hell in true NYC fashion lol. I believe I did a 20 mile round trip commute on that one. It would've been around 30 miles if it the roads weren't crazy wet.
@@uria702 you're welcome. The 10+ is cool too. If you have time, go check out the Klima at FFR Brooklyn. They have a demo model that you can take out for a test ride. Ask for Chuck or Greg and they'll take care of you. They're good people over there!
Thanks for watching the video and welcome to the channel! I've done it for decades commuting in NYC, so at this point it's out of habit. Originally, I used to do it so that I can filter my way past the cars and past the pedestrians if the roads are quieter. If it's really heavy congested rush hour, I'll filter my way as far up as I can and stop there.
Thanks for watching this video too @ChargedWheels, I appreciate ya. The Namis are in a legal grey area. Since it's a stand up electric scooter technically it is, however, it's also not because its 1 lb over the weight limit. As long as you're not being a total ass and menace to society, the cops tend to leave you alone. They actually are more curious than anything else. I heard from one of my other subscribers that it's a political mess there for the scooters, I hope they legalize them soon. On the other hand, we're at a tipping point in NYC. I'm not worried about their legality. I'm more worried about the landlords banning them from the homes because of the fires caused by irresponsible owners.
@@eyebahnrides ah nice one thanks for that I was been nosey and wondered as your on the other side of the world haha … thanks for replying I really appreciate it
Thanks for watching and welcome to the channel Jay! The thing with the Burn E is it requires a balanced riding posture to minimize the wobble. I used to get it quite a bit in the first 300 miles. By the time I got to 2000+ miles, I was riding at full speed without a damper. Full disclosure, the damper was on there but it was broken and leaked out all its fluid lol. I was riding most of my miles with a non functioning damper.
@@eyebahnrides Oh I see, I’ve only had the Nami for about 80 miles now. I have tried to ride it in different positions and I guess your are right because twice I was able to get up to 45mph before the wobble kicked in. I even swapped tires for PMT which it did make a major difference in the ride so that’s a plus. It would be nice to know what is the correct way to position myself because seriously these wobbles are extremely scary.
man, im new to the PEV world and love mine. But man, riding on a left side bike lane would freak me out. the left turning vehicle crash risk is so high!
Thanks for watching this one as well! That's why I always call our bike lanes here "death traps". Anything from vehicles to pedestrians will try to kill you there 😢
oh wait so he has a real job and rides his scooter for commute? thats LUXURIOUS. I have to do uber eats on my Ninebot G30LP lol. Ah NYC. the haves and have nots in the same bowl.
Thanks for watching and welcome to the channel Warren! I've seen some videos about riding in the UK and it seems as crazy, if not crazier, than NYC. I think the thing that adds to my confusion is the design of the roads lol. It also looks like the pedestrians are much more unaware over there than they are here lol
Hi TreeBark, I learned about the throttle in the Nami FB group. The group called it the “Polish Throttle”. My contact at the local FluidFreeRide shot knew someone in NYC that sold them, and I bought it from that person. I think there’s. Guy that sells them in the FB group. I hope this helps!
@@gvillanueva5317 Yes, an acquaintance of mine had it installed on his Nami Klima. Just note that you have to solder the throttle to the existing setup. I had mine done by my technician at FluidFreeRide
If I had to count how many times I got side swiped buy a car, truck and bus. I'd run out of space to write. My only advice is to try and follow the cars movement, by that I mean if that situation happens make that turn with him that way the driver will see you.
Hey Nick, thanks for watching and chiming in. I agree with you. Defensive riding and assuming that the driver is an ass is the best way to ride. Folks have told me I should be more aggressively because of the scooter that I have, however, I don’t because I don’t want to put myself in unnecessary danger.
@@eyebahnrides For me I have the Wolf King GT and even though I have the power, the drivers around me out weight me by a lot.The only good advice I can give, is to use the torque to create a space gap between the rider and the driver and lane filter where applicable. I always assume that the driver cannot see me and act accordingly. Ride safe
@@DT-Nicky great advice for everyone, thank you! You’re absolutely right, that’s why I always say torque/acceleration is the most important thing in city riding. Great scooter by the way, ride safe 👊🏼👊🏼
Hey Alex, I use a throttle that’s been nicknamed “polish throttle” by the Nami community. Check with chuck at FFR BK to see if he knows anyone that’s selling it. If not, check with the Nami group on FB!
Hey TopWitness, thanks for watching the video and welcome to the channel! Unfortunately, I didn't do the Relive app on this one. The commute is about 6 miles each way.
@@topwitness1416 it’s quite a short commute on the scooter. I can generally cover the distance in under 20 minutes despite the traffic. My longest commute route is around 15 miles one way and it’s not that bad. It depends on the 25 miles. 25 miles through NYC sounds like a pain in the 🍑. 25 miles through less congested roads on nature, sounds amazing. The only thing you may want to consider for that type of commute is getting a seat installed to give your legs a rest. Scootering is quite taxing on your legs.
NGL, I get a little tense sometimes watching you ride in that madness. It doesn't help that we can't see into the distance through that camera as well as you can in person, or that I watch all YT content at 2x speed, but you still have enough close calls at speed that it's not a matter of "if", but more likely "when". Be safe out there brother...
Thanks for watching and chiming in, i appreciate it! Though not as much of a 💩show as the subway system the commute can get really sketchy. Thats exactly what I tell people. “Ride defensively and assume everything is trying to hit you. It’s just a matter of when not if.” I had my accident last year (doored by a cab and broke my hand) even though I’m quite a safe rider. You too, stay safe out there 👊🏼👊🏼
Thanks for watching the video and welcome to the channel, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I generally don't use my horn as much because its quite loud as a "motorcycle grade horn". I especially avoid it around pedestrians and riders in the bike lanes because their reactions can be quite unpredictable. I do use it quite a bit when riding in with traffic since it requires more to get the attention of drivers!
Thinking of getting this or the Teverun Blade GT 2 plus. They cost nearly the same price, blade top speed is 85km/hr and bigger 11" wheels. Not sure wgich 1 to get...thoughts anyone?
thanks for watching this video Jace. I don't know much about Teverun but I hear that they deliver great performance for their price. The scooter I'm riding in this video was my old Nami Burn E and would have a similar 11 inch tire set up as the GT2Plus. Based on what I've read online, the biggest differences are the Burn E runs on a 72v system, has a higher top speed, and higher IP rating than the GT2+. I've never ridden a Teverun before but I can confidently say that the Burn E has one of the best power delivery, ride comfort, and reliablilty in all conditions. That Burn E was with me for years and I wouldn't have given it up if I didn't have issues with my building.
Thanks for watching the video and welcome to the channel! I think you may have the Burn E and Burn E2 mixed up. The scooter in the video is the original Burn E which has a top speed of 60. It’s equivalent to the E2 Max. The new Burn E2 has the smaller motors/ controllers so it tops out at 45. Hope this helps!
@@eyebahnridesOh ok I get now thanks for telling me,sorry for the late reply🙁,could you do a video of how to ride e scooters on the streets without getting hit by car it would be helpful to us
Thanks for watching and welcome to the channel! Lol, I was waiting for someone to catch that 🤣😂😅. I couldn’t tell from the video but I just assumed that it’s one of the DOT guys working on the bridge taking a break 😅
thanks for watching the video and welcome to the channel! I'll never forget my first ride on the Burn E. It was terrifying and exhilarating at the same time! It left such an impression on me that I ended up buying it 2 weeks after the test ride even though I already owned a Mantis 10 lol. I sold my Mantis as soon as this came in!
It’s crazy how the guy just drove off and didn’t even check in on the guy he hit. Freaking sickening… I get they’re both in the wrong and running the red light but damn…
Hey Bruno, thanks for watching the video and welcome back! You're 100% correct. I tell this to anyone that I meet that's new to commuting with a PEV. Always assume that they don't see you, always assume that something is going to jump out at you, always assume someone is going to do dumb stuff, and always stay 1000% focused so that you can react defensively to any of the situations. Unfortunately, despite all that, there are times you won't be able to avoid it. However, that guy that crashed in the video could've totally avoided that if he wasn't so reckless.
Hey Kyle, thanks for watching the video and welcome to the channel. He was shook up but he looked like he was ok. That’s why there was a cut in the footage. It was because I checked with the people that helped him to see if he was ok. I haven’t seen him on the road since that day so I hope he gets back to riding, but less reckless this time🙏🏼
It didn’t look like the car actually made contact with that rider. I think they just fell, and based on their general presentation and lack riding skill it was bound to happen sooner or later.
You’re right. I’ve seen him for weeks being quite reckless despite being quite unstable on the scooter. Since they were both running the red, they were both unprepared for that encounter and the scooter guy doesn’t have enough experience to make a proper defensive maneuver. I hope going forward he learns don’t ride in someone’s blind spot and to be more cautious. People tell me I should be more aggressive all the time because of my scooter but I like that I make home in one piece most of the time lol
@@eyebahnrides and you made the right choice, tailgating cars like the segway guy is not a good way to start your day commuting to work. The car driver probably didn't even hear or see the rider crashing in his blind spot because of no contact. The segway rider had time to manoeuvre, but instead he put his foot down and tumbled. He also rode on the sidewalk just 10 seconds before, cause he didn't want to wait for 5 seconds to pass. Those acts in traffic will only gain you a few seconds, which will be lost in the next red light. People should be cautious in traffic jams, no matter if on a nami or a simple scooter. By the way, correct me if i am wrong, your average speed was about 19 mph which isn't a lot faster than a typical scooter would do, (mostly because of the traffic jam). People should consider that.
@@vagker2550 You're correct. My average speed on the Nami is usually around 18-20 mph because of traffic and speed restrictions. I could, technically, get that average up way higher by riding recklessly (running reds at full speeds and blasting through congested bike lanes) but I don't think saving a few minutes on my commute is worth getting hurt/ hurting someone in the process. I do wish that some of these people would ride more defensively and assume that no one sees or hears you. I
Lol, ya I'm glad I don't have to navigate that kind of madness. The worst thing I usually have to deal with is tons of roundabouts. I wish that guy who got side swiped a quick recovery. NYPD should give rewards for dashcam footage like that, like they do for parking violations. The collision aside, I absolutely hate people who don't signal. It is fundamental to traffic safety and car transportation would collapse if everyone just stopped doing it. In my opinion if someone's brain can't comprehend that, they shouldn't be driving. Anyways stay safe, and may you be blessed with much good weather.
Hey Paradyme, thanks for watching and chiming in! Roundabouts sound like a welcome change to the craziness of NYC 😅. I hope so too. There were people that rushed him off to the side but he seemed ok and made his way over under his own power. Just a completely ass move on the drivers part for not even stopping to check on him. I get their both “in the wrong” for trying to blast through the changing light, but you gotta pull over and sort that out. I agree. It pisses me off when I see it on my PEV or when I’m driving. It just seems more and more people don’t care to learn the rules of the road 😓 Thanks! I hope y’all weather is finally clearing up as well! 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼
Hey Biscuits, thanks for watching. You're absolutely right, some people's confidence far exceeds their abilities lol. When it was newer and I was a lighter fellow I used to hit 60 more often. Now that its been almost 2 years of owning the Nami and I'm a few pounds heavier, the fastest I've done is 57-58. I've also recorded a 60mph on the GPS via the relive app about a month ago but it's not consistent.
I've never been to east coast, but for all I've seen, it's just pointless go there. West coast is so much better for pretty much everything. Maybe Florida for holidays
Hey Pedro, thanks for watching the video. I mean to each their own man. I love the East Coast as much as I love the West Coast. Each one has its benefits and each one has its drawbacks. As a longtime NYer, I can say that it's a love hate relationship with the city. However, thats how I felt in LA and DC when I used to go there often for work.
Hey Seb, thanks for watching the video and welcome to the channel! Yea, you can tell hes new based on how he rode. I saw this guy riding almost everyday because we commute at the same time and he's gotten more and more reckless despite still being quite unstable on the road. 100% agree you have to be completely aware at all times especially in a city like NYC where everything is trying to kill you lol.
@@eyebahnrides Hey ..right,The Traffic looks a kind of adventurous😅 People are allways in a hurry or dont pay attention.Stay safe and ride with Brain.Cheers✌🏻
Hello EVEYBAN ITS UR BOY NOTORIOUS IRBY IN NEWARK NEW JERSEY BRO 👍 WHAT YOU MEAN WEN YOU SAY THE POLICE WEN YOU WAS COMMING OVER THE BRIDGE 🌉 CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT YOU MENT OK THANK U 👈👍AND BE SAFE WHERE EVER YOU GO ILL🙏 👈FOR YOU TO THANK YOU 🤞✌️💯🛴👈
Police tend to wait at the end of the bridge in order to try an catch any of the illegal mopeds and edirtbikes that are operating in the bike lane. They're trying to crack down on those things on our streets
thanks for joining us on one of the OG full commute videos! That guy definitely needed more practice. I saw him everyday for almost 3 weeks riding recklessly beyond his skill level. He was cutting vehicles off and flying on the sideway that whole time. Honestly, it was only a matter of time before anything happened to him. I get that we all have places to go, but don't be a jerk about it
People or no people, don't do 30 in a bike lane. Others don't know what you're doing and it gives scooter riders a bad name. And you don't know if someone is about to suddenly step into it from nowhere.

Damn that dude ate it hard, that's a prime example to wear your gear if you're commuting, because dealing with the sweating is a lot better than getting messed up in a fall for sure. The one way you can actually tell if they're a real cop for all the SUV's is that when they're all sold to police departments they will never install the roof rack for luggage. Awesome video man, I've always wondered what it's like in NYC, you definitely have to keep your head on a swivel with that crazy traffic lol.
Thanks for watching and welcome to the channel JD, I appreciate ya. That guy fell so hard that I never saw him on the scooter again. I used to see him almost everyday and he was always reckless when I saw him. I have to do an updated version of this video for summer traffic because it's been getting really bad =/. You're absolutely correct about the head on a swivel. Everything in this city from the roads, to the vehicles, to the people are trying to knock you off your PEV lol
Was recommended this channel.
Subscribed since I deleted a ton of ebike channels over the winter, it's Spring and,always good to start fresh with a new NYC point of view.😊
Thanks for watching the video and welcome to the channel! I hope you enjoy the content that I have currently and the content that I plan to make. I appreciate the support 👊🏼🙏🏼
Nice tour. Now I know the way. Thanks.
Thanks for watching the video, I’m glad you enjoyed it. Safe riding out there 👊🏼
WOW …. Just keep doing u my brother, I agree with the family love the video
Hi Christopher, thanks for watching the video! I appreciate your kind words and I look forward to your continued support. Safe riding out there!
I’m in Los Angeles,never been to nyc but your ride through the city was really cool
My wife and I love LA! I'm glad that you enjoyed getting to see the craziness of NYC. There's a beauty to the madness that we see and experience every day here lol
I enjoy your videos! Keep them coming be safe.👍🏾
Thanks William! I'm glad I can make videos that you can continue to enjoy. These videos are a lot of fun for me to make because I don't have to cover a topic like in the RideVlogs and I can focus on going faster on the ride! As always, thank you for your continued support, I appreciate ya👊🏼
That a cool looking scooter you have...very stealthy..❤
Thank you! One of my favorite things about it is how stealthy it was.
@@eyebahnrides oh..man you are so fortunate to have the fastest , coolest , toughest, stealthest looking PEV on the planet...
@@Steven-qm1xo thanks man, definitely blessed to have it. It wouldn’t be possible with out the local Fluidfreeride guys. They maintain my pev and have been super helpful with all my questions!

Thanks for watching the video and welcome to the channel Allen! I’m glad you enjoyed it because this was a crazy one 🙏🏼😂
bro the speeds yoy're averaging. sucha dream. I gotta get a rig like this one day. I've had 3 scooters already might as well get a Burn E
Yea I sold 2 of my scooters and saved up for a little to pick up the Nami back then. It was totally worth it 👊🏼
nami is a great ride. currently i ride vsett 10+ and i cant wait to get nami. really nice video. greetings from Croatia
Hey Ian, thanks for watching the video and welcome to the channel. Congrats on your new scooter, I'm excited for you to start riding it! How are the scooter laws in Croatia? Are they as strict as the rest of the EU?
@@eyebahnrides we can only ride on foot path and must have a helmet. i think that is it for now. keep on with the vids, new sub here.. stay safe 🤙
@@ian-wr1hk thanks for the sub! That's great that you can get to ride on the footpath. Hopefully, they allow you on other roads in the future. Safe riding and enjoy that vsett10+! I got to ride it a few times and it was alot of fun.
Nice video, have you ever thought about doing a series on show me the way, people would request a start and destination and you do the ride to show them the best way and the level of difficulties of ride. I live in Yonkers (Midland ave and kimball) and work in Long Island city, I would love to see what the ride would be.
Hi Hubert, thanks for watching the video and thank you for the amazing video idea! I was thinking of something like this in the future. The thing is, my work schedule is actually pretty crazy so almost all of my content is recorded on my way to or from work. If I can reclaim some more of my time, that would be such a fun series to do!
That’s a cool run I just bought a yume x11 it’s a beast and I do a similar route cool video
Hey Dayron, thanks for watching the video and welcome to the channel. I'm glad you enjoyed it! I've seen those Yume x11s flying around and its definitely a beast. Ride safe out there man, people are crazy lol.
Btw, since you take a similar route. Have you started seeing NYPD stopping big scooters like ours?
Started following you mate im from south side queens i just recently bought a kaabo wolf king and im loving it i came across your content and watch everytime as i eat my lunch keep it up and stay safe.
Hey Jpositive, thanks for watching the video and welcome to the channel! Congrats on your new Wolf King, it's a beast of a scooter so ride safe out there. I literally do the same thing during my lunch break at work, I watch ridevlogs and motovlogs while I'm eating my food. I'm glad you're enjoying the videos, I hope you have fun watching the current catalogue and all the videos that are coming out in the future.
finaly, guy who kows how to mount mirrors correctly
Thanks for watching the video! I've always liked it this way because I can see better and it doesn't clip anything because traffic gets so tight!
Why underneath?
I like very much your videos - commute with Nami ! Keep that way ;) 😉
Thanks for watching the video, I’m glad you enjoy the Nami rides! They’re a lot of fun to make despite all of the craziness on the streets of NYC 👊🏼
Just got a Burn e2 max and love the sine wave controllers. For an experienced rider, its easy to just jump on and figure out how to ride it. My last scooter was a Weped gt50e which i learned to love, but the throttle was all or nothing all the time lol
Congrats on your new BE2Max! The sine wave controllers are incredible and I hope it becomes an industry standard. The last time I tried a Weped, it was pretty rough to control in the city because it was balls to the wall all the time. The last thing I want is that front end getting away from me on our unpredictable roads.
@@eyebahnrides for sure, where I live there are lots of decent open roads 45 to 50 mph, so getting to speed fast is priority. After waiting 3 years for a RION that never came (I'm one of the suckers that got scammed), it's nice to have a 50 mph scooter again. Coming from a Currus Panther, Wolf 11+.... Cheers!
@@myplaxismodelisbetterthanyours that's pretty awesome. I could see how the open roads would make it easier to get used to the Weped.
I almost fell for the RION hype a few years ago. A buddy of mine talked me out of it and I'm glad that he did. The horror stories I hear about all the waiting and the lack of support once you get it is crazy.
@@myplaxismodelisbetterthanyours the thumb throttle is tricky for me but i'm also new to pevs. For me the dead spot on the throttle gives me the all or nothing feel on the NBE2 Max i recently bought.
@@cocoabiscuits this is my first scooter with a thumb throttle. I wish it was a better quality part and located in a slightly different position. It is still tricky to throttle without doing burnouts, but much easier to control than some scooters in the past. I like the dead spot, as it is a bit forgiving if you bump it on accident. I also wouldn't be surprised if there was some performance variability in the throttle from scooter to scooter, as the part is so damn cheaply made
BTW, I forgot to ask what sideview mirrors are those? I can't find them anywhere. I'll keep you posted. The Klima arrives on the 19th. Also, I'll use your code on a jacket.
Hi Daniel Congratulations on your new Klima! Enjoy the heck out of it and stay safe out there. No pressure to do so with the link and codes but it is appreciated🙏🏼. Interestingly enough these are side mirrors I found on amazon. I went through a few of them but this one gave me the balance clarity, width, and quality for the price. They're the Kemimoto Oval Side Mirrors: amzn.to/3iwXKTm.
@@eyebahnrides thanks! I just ordered them. I’ll touch base again soon. Really appreciate your videos they’re fun to watch and very inspiring. Oddly I can’t find the right jacket now. I think it was about$150 and had shoulder, back and elbow guards inside. We definitely should stay in touch. 😊 btw my wife’s from Philippines 🇵🇭 and I think she said she noticed you were filipino.
Those Nami scooters look real tough....😮
Yup! I love their scooters 👊🏼👊🏼
Nice eks vids....eks rider here too..Manila Philippines 🇵🇭
Hi Rommel, thanks for watching the videos and I’m glad you enjoy it! When my wife and I go back to Manila, I hope I can join one do the group rides 🙏🏼

Great video
Hi Fred, thank you for watching the video and welcome to the channel! I'm glad that you enjoyed the video!
Yo Ivan, nice little respectful ripper to work, brother!!!! I love it when I get to give Herbie some juice, even if it's a short little punch. They need it every once in a while. It's finally perfect scootin weather! Look at you with the executive parking. Bro, the day ride home is a lot more intense than when you showed it at night. I've never been to NY, but mad respect on your skills and handling through all that chaos. Gotta keep that head on a swivel. Loved the adventure
Ride That Tasty Wave
Hey Weldonator, thanks for watching the video and I'm glad you enjoyed it. Having this heat and weather is both a godsend and a curse at the same time lol. The heat makes for fun riding but brings out all the folks that have been in hibernation. Wait till yall see the madness of navigating these streets in the summer lol. I hope everyone is ready to be stressed! I appreciate your kind words and support as always, safe riding my good sir!
Nice channel keep it up ❤ I also have the Burn e 2 Max. Do you have a link for the mirrors you are using?
Thank you for watching this video as well, it’s great to have you on the channel! If you want to see the equipment I use and the accessories on the scooter, it’s generally in the video’s description.
Anyways, here’s the link!
Kemimoto Oval Side Mirrors: amzn.to/3iwXKTm
Hey Ivan! Absolutely love this kind of videos, I would suggest a few things to make it even more immersive )
1. Leave signal stops in the video to preserve the flow. Those impatient can skip, this in an immersion video not a thrill one, right?
2. Use 50/60 frame rate, otherwise at your speeds the picture starts to tear a bit )
3. A one stop(step?) higher level of ambient sound, it would be nice to hear more from the things around.
Your trip commentary is perfect in terms of words amount and emotion, keep it steady )
Thanks!
Thanks for the input Vredda. I was actually thinking of keeping the stops like I used to in my original videos. I felt that it broke the immersion for those trying to get that pov riding experience. The x3 is limited with the frame rates we can use at the highest resolution, I do have it scheduled to move up to the max for the videos I’m recording going forward. Now that there’s more light when I’m riding, I can use some cameras HDR abilities so the image isn’t as blown out. As for the sound I’m not sure if I can capture more ambient noise with my current set up. Maybe in the future I’ll be able to capture better sound with a better mic set up.
As I do more of these and get better at recording and editing, my goal is to get to a more polished final product! Thanks for coming along on the journey.
@@eyebahnrides as for the demand for these kind of videos, check out ActionKid channel, his scooter ride videos are as much popular as walking ones.
Will be looking for your future rides )
@@vredda1 I'll check out ActionKid. I'm always looking for fun "ride channels" to watch!
@@eyebahnrides yet another idea: I recently searched e-scooter videos on TH-cam using 'e-scooter ride NYC'. None of your videos came up, I found your channel later by watching those NYC huge group rides and picking up your nickname from footage. May be it's worth trying to use 'e-scooter' in video caption instead(with) of too specific 'Nami Burn E'.
Traffic better than London though!!
during that time it was since we were just starting to get out of all the Pandemic procedures lol. Now its madness again. I'm not looking forward to when the companies eliminate the WFH hybrid schedule and everyone starts flocking back to the offices
The girl riding the kick scooter in heels is on a totally different level.
thanks for joining us on one of the early versions of the Full Commute Experience videos and welcome to the channel Sammy! Yea man, that was crazy. The sad thing is, that's not even close to some of the crazy things I've encountered of camera. I should really start recording anytime I'm on these things lol
I really like the way you do these videos! Great job! 👍
Thanks for watching this video as well! Your kind words and support are truly appreciated 🙏🏼. I really enjoy making (and watching) these "Full Ride" style videos because I gives those watching fun immersive tour of the area the video takes place in. I made a "Full Commute playlist" if you want to check out the other videos as well. Just pardon the older videos in the series because it took some time to dial in the style for the video!
@@eyebahnrides No worries, my family and I sat for hours watching all your trips in NY. I was so inspired that I just purchased the Klima Max last night from Fluidride after having a better understanding of the ins and outs in traffic in your videos. Very educational. My wife panicked a bit when that car cut off the scooter in front of you. You caught that moment on camera at the correct time. Hope he was ok. Also I looked and was wondering if you also have your own review on the TSG helmet. It looks like a good helmet from all the reviews. Seems to have better protection than the Preditor. Would really like to see one of your helmet reviews. Enjoying your channel the most by far. You should let fluid ride know your videos were very helpful for me. Thanks again and stay safe. Daniel drD E on the west coast SoCal.
@@drde4010 awww, thanks so much! I'm glad the family could enjoy the videos. As a NYer, it takes alot for us to not be cussing every other sentence but I try really hard not to in my videos because I want everyone to be able to enjoy it. It's sad how often the van situation happens in NYC. If you watch my video that says Rush Hour is Dangerous, you'll see a crash happen because a rider got cut off. That's why I always preach ride aggressively but also defensively. I had a bad feeling about the van and I listened to my gut. If I were blasting it, it would've been much worse and the driver and I wouldn't be laughing it off =(.
Congratulations on your new Scooter! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. I know it's sounds like overkill, but I always encourage everyone to wear full protection when riding these high performance scooters. At the end of the day, they are performance vehicles and we should be prepared for the worst case scenario. I'm not a fan of looking like a robot ninja, so I wear armored shirts that are lined with kevlar and have CE2 protection on the elbows/forearms, shoulders, and back. The shirt actually saved me from a broken arm today because I crashed while on my Esk8. That's the second time this shirt has protected me in a crash! I have an affiliate link/ discount code that you can use if you'd like to purchase one. Saves you some $$ and helps generate a small commission for the channel! The TSG helmet did protect my face as well during the crash today so I'm glad I was wearing that instead of a regular helmet!
linktr.ee/eyebahnrides
I haven't done a TSG Pass Pro review yet. I do like the helmet alot (especially the way that it looks) but it does have its pros and cons.
Pros: looks cool, light, amazing FOV, warm in the winter, and is rated for higher speeds than most helmets because its a DownHill Skateboard helmet.
Cons: Visor is a scratch magnet, not the best airflow so it can hot inside, not DOT certified, and it costs alot.
I'll probably do a helmet and gear video in the future. But I hope this helps for now.
Again, thank you for your support of the channel. I appreciate you,
@@eyebahnrides No worries on cussing, your videos are from the heart. I’ve done the same in a few of my videos so I know. I appreciate the info and links. I’ll definitely look at the clothing safety aspects and use the code. Still learning what I don’t know about this so your videos have definitely been educational. I appreciate the feedback on the TSG. Many seem to suggest a full face helmet on these unique scooters and the TSG looked attractive because of the weight aspect of it. The link has an unusual layout so if I have any question I’ll just ask you but I’ll go through your link in more detail. When you’re speaking during the rides it’s the most authentic way to do it in my humble opinion plus the scenery is fun too. It would be fun to do an electric bike meet here on the west coast in SoCal but I don’t know anything about that. Fluid has the Klima Max’s on preorder at the moment, so I’ll just wait and watch your videos in the meantime. These riding videos are relaxing to watch. Thanks again and keep up the great work. 👍 Daniel
I’ve been enjoying my new nanrobot rs5 such a joy even at 40mph
Congrats on the new scooter! 40 is plenty for most situations, especially in the city. Safe riding man 👊🏼👊🏼
14:21 - that poor fella. he were pissed seconds before, I saw it on his face
Thanks for watching the video! Yea, I seem him a lot and he’s always pissed and a little reckless. They were both trying to beat the red light and ir sucks that it happened. It’s crazy how the guy in the car just looked out his window and drove off after seeing the guy on the ground.
I envy the bike lanes around town. Nami is my dream. 🙏♥️ Greetings from the Czech Republic. 🤝
Thank you for watching the video and welcome to the channel, I hope you get a chance to ride the Nami in Czech Republic! How are the scooter laws over there?
The bike lanes in NYC are not as good as some of the other cities in the world, but they work!
@@eyebahnrides Nami costs a lot of money with us. 😅
If a man drives carefully, does not needlessly provoke the police, is wearing a helmet and is visible, he can ride with impunity. But thanks to many idiots driving under the influence of alcohol, violating traffic laws, or being culpable in traffic accidents, a mandatory driver's license, registration of electric scooters and liability are planned from next year. So, next year, even the good guys won't be riding. 🙈 😕
That crash was so unexpected, thank goodness he had a helmet on. Really sucks that the driver got away which is literally a crime (hit and run) and breaking 2 traffic laws (failure to signal, running a red). I don’t think I’ll ever want to ride a small and slow PEV in traffic after seeing many crashes. A safe PEV is a medium-large PEV with many safety features like hydraulic brakes and even being peppy enough to divert from the path of a car.
Yea man, I didn’t see that coming. To be honest, I always thought it was bound to happen seeing him almost every day. He’s quite aggressive with his maneuvering even tho I feel like he’s in his own world not paying attention. But regardless, it was an ass move for the driver to not even check on the guy after breaking 2 laws 😅
It’s crazy that our safest options are the ones are the most legally gray lol.
@@eyebahnrides yes..the slower scooters are disrespected on the road here in Australia by the road users but they don't mess with my Nami as it rockets🚀 out in front of there view...🛴🛴🛴
The car didn't even hit him. watch the video again.
@@emilyc1988you’re right. It’s a miss and run since there was no contact but the car still caused the accident. The TH-cam lawyer, Lord Ugo talks about miss and run incidents in his videos if you want to learn more.
@@emilyc1988 yup. Not riding defensively and inexperience knocked him off the scooter. You can tell that he wasn’t prepared to make quick last minute evasive maneuvers. I haven’t seen him since so I hope he’s ok 🙏🏼
Hi !
The ride was really great! Thx...
The under index finger throttle seems very well suited and it must help maintain control over the handlebar. Where is it from? Do you have a website or an internet link?
I also notice that you have adjusted the controls on the handlebar (turn signal, menu, etc.).
Excellent choice, the Nami.👍👍👍
Manuel from France
Thanks for watching the video and welcome to the channel Manuel, I appreciate your support!
The throttle I use was nicknamed "Polish Throttle" since it was first used on the Namis in Poland. I bought it from my local scooter shop but you can get them from people in the official Nami Facebook group. Just search the group for "polish throttle" and it should give you some leads for your search. It might also be easier to get in France because you guys have some of the best electric scooter shops! I love my throttle because it allows you to maintain full grip on the handlebars. The harder you accelerate the better your grip becomes because of the throttle style!
I like having both of my controls on the left because its more natural for me to operate the buttons with my non throttle hand. I don't want to accidentally accelerate using the turn turn signals in its original position!
I love my Nami and it's the best scooter I've ridden! Nami has a huge group in France, are you a member of their group?
As an ex-STROMER ST1 speedbike user, I'm now switching gears for my daily commutes (train+ e-scooter) and opting for a NAMI Burn E, all based on the excellent advice from my local dealer.
For me, the scooter is a necessary step. The train company doesn't allow bicycles from 6:00 to 8:00 in the morning (scooters are fine).
While I'm not currently a member of the Nami group in France, I'm working closely with my local dealer to potentially form a team for some exciting rides.
The purchase of the Nami is scheduled for August 29th, and honestly, I can't wait to be on that "flying carpet." In my opinion, it's truly the perfect compromise, and since I'm not aiming for high speeds, I believe this scooter will more than meet my expectations and fulfill my needs for multi-modal commuting. Thanks again for the info on the Polish throttle!
Please tell me the model of the mirror🙏
thanks for watching the video and welcome to the channel! The mirrors are called Kemimoto Ovals. Here is the link Kemimoto Oval Side Mirrors: amzn.to/3iwXKTm
I have a Wolf X and a Meepo Voyager (escoot and esk8). The PEV diversity really levels up the ways you can get around your city without a car.
Hey John, thanks for watching the video! You’ve got two great options there for navigating the city! I’ve been meaning to get into eskate because I wanna experience that chill carving that you can only do on a long board!
@@eyebahnrides I know people who would say, "heck no! EUC baby!" But I've always been a board guy.
@@jff757 I tried the EUC and rode for about 1000 miles. It’s definitely an fun but I remember carving on my mini board as a teenager and the sensation is very different and better IMO. I’m excited to try eskate! Just doing my research now on starter boards 🙏🏼
@@eyebahnrides Enjoy friend! Ride safe!
@@eyebahnridesi have a exway x1 max hub. Been using it for around 20 months now. Its great for beginners as it was my first electric board. Ive been riding penny boards my whole life before. Now im going to get a used nami burne2 not the max version that has less than 1000km on it. Im rlly excited to try it out this weekend
8:37 your talking? lol but great video though i love watching your videos
Thanks for watching! 🙏🏼
Hi Ivan 👋 great video once again 👍🏼 glad to see your hands are warm for a change 😅 I know what you mean about your jacket, mine does that too and all I wanna do is cool down lol I think the man that fell off the scooter could have maybe avoided that crash if he didn’t put his foot down so early. There’s some crazy people on the roads, stay safe man.
Thanks for watching the video, I appreciate ya 🙏🏼! The warmer weather is such a welcome change for all of us riders in NYC, but it also signals busy season on the streets 😭. Going forward, my commute videos are going to get crazier and crazier with traffic lol. About the angry guy that fell, I agree. There are a few times in the video that I noticed he was unstable when slowing down/stopping. I personally wouldn't ride in the city until I was comfortable stopping, dismounting, and can perform defensive maneuvers. For example, I didn't ride the Nami into work until I got about 100 street miles (160km) of experience with it.
Absolutely, thank you for your support and safe riding out there!
Can’t tell you how many times I’ve had those close call on queens Blvd but I’ve learned to always be on the defensive with cars. Never roll up in their blind spot at an intersection.
Absolutely. I’ve had those issues on Queens Blvd and Northern Blvd. Even after watching that portion a few times during editing, it still makes me cringe 🫣
@@eyebahnrides dude was being reckless from the jump. If you don’t respect the road then you can expect the same to be shown to you.
@@marcb2raw agreed. I see him quite often and he rides recklessly and with low awareness of what’s around him. I feel bad for what happened to him but that’s what happens when they both try to beat a red light.
Never try passing on far right or far left on a turn. He rode right up next to and into the cars blind spot. Be patient. Wait for the car to make there turn. I see it a lot in videos and they complain about the car. Not the cars fault. You’re supposed to ride with flow of traffic. Behind the vehicle in front of you. Lane split in the middle. Pass on the far sides only when traffic stopped or when there are no turns. Vehicle ahead has the right away. Silly electric ride, riders
Where did you buy those side mirrors bro? and do they work well?
Thanks for watching and welcome to the channel! I purchased the mirrors on Amazon. These are it (Kemimoto Oval Side Mirrors: amzn.to/3iwXKTm ). I really like them because the wider shape gives me good visibility. They're a bit pricier but I like that it's got good clarity and the glare isn't as bad as some of the plastic options.
What protective gear do you ride with? Other than the helmet, gloves and goggles.
Thanks for watching the video! In addition to the helmet, gloves, and goggles, I generally wear some sort of body armor thats lined with kevlar and have CE1 or CE2 elbow/shoulder/ back pads. Since I don't want to look like the White Ranger, I wear armored shirts/ jackets. For the most part I wear my BeyondRiders Summer Mesh in the Summer/Spring/ Fall. In the Winter, I wear my LazyRolling Reflective Jacket. But I will change into regular winter jackets when it gets too cold.
If you want to check out the BeyondRiders Armored clothing, I'm an affiliate of theirs now! You can use this link (beyondriders.com/?ref=wrbae9zj) and use the code EyebahnRides and you'll get $10 off your order while the channel gets a small kickback! I actually plan on buying one of those armored flannels for the Fall.
In addition to those, I occasionally wear Leatt Dual Axis Knee/ shin pads. It's rare but I have them for those days I'm trying something new or test testing new settings.
I hope this helps!
@@eyebahnrides Thanks. I'll check them out. I'm planning to use my scooter to commute from Woodside to FiDi, so I'm looking to see what the options are.
@@mansingw you’re welcome! Thats a bit of a ride to FiDi so it helps to have it. There are cheaper options but I don’t like the look of having the pads on exposed. I prefer being able to throw the padded shirts on top of my suit jacket or dress shirt. On hotter days I just keep my jacket in my backpack and I wear the mesh padding on top of my shirt and tie. Good luck with the research!
Wow never seen footage like this before i`m waay out of the loop would love to do this one day looks like a lot of fun and it`s a very convenient mode of transport to work too. That`s a sub from me thanks ivan 🤙
Thanks for watching the video and welcome to the channel! I'm glad you enjoyed the POV riding footage, its definitely a faster and more enjoyable way of getting around this crazy city lol. I hope you enjoy the other videos in the catalog!
@eyebahnrides Your welcome Ivan, Would love to visit New York one day looks like such a diverse city and so much to do as well 🤙
Hey buddy...big fan...I have a question...what's the best settings do you have your Insta360 camera on...for great video quality and not drain your battery so fast???
I ride a Dualtron Thunder here in the City..
Hey Prine Floyd, thank you for your kind words. I appreciate ya. Lately I’ve been shooting in Log color and I do all the color correction during the editing. I have sharpness on high and everything else is on auto. I’m not very savvy with camera settings so I let it do all the work lol. On the x3 I shoot in 5.7k and on the One RS I shoot in 4k. I have about an hour and 15 minutes to record per battery. On long rides like the group ride, I have the battery bases attached to an external battery pack so they charge while I ride. I know that hook up the battery pack directly their GoPro but I can’t do it because it shows up in the shot.
Hope this helps! Safe riding out there man 👊🏼👊🏼
@@eyebahnrides thanks for getting back to me..I appreciate you and thanks for the Camera info...I'm still trying to learn my insta360 x3👍..have a great weekend...God Bless 🙏..
Did u upgrade your steering aluminim stem? to steal one? or its still original?
Hi Ivan, thanks for watching the video and welcome to the channel. I did the upgrade to the steel steering column about 2000 miles in. However, in this video I still had the original steering aluminum steering column. At 2000 miles, I also upgraded a few things on the scooter. The first time I had all the upgrades installed was on this ride ( th-cam.com/video/42_TnVtJ-Cw/w-d-xo.html )
I live in Brooklyn and was thinking about this scooter. I have an inokim ox now which can go 30ish and has a good range. The one thing about the burn e holding me back is the weight. If it starts pouring, there’s no way to carry this down the stairs to get on a train.
Thanks for watching the video and welcome to the channel Synapse2k! I completely agree with you about the weight. Loading it into my small sedan or lifting it on to a stool at home so I can make adjustments is a pain! The good news is the IP rating is something you can really believe and you can just ride in the rain. I've ridden through light rain and really wet roads, but I try to avoid downpours. I know people have said they've basically ridden through "hurricane conditions" in the forums, but I personally think it's a miserable experience riding in heavier rain lol. I did it once on my EUC and never again!
@@eyebahnrides I tried once in light rain and got soaked. If it starts raining, I hop on the subway but not many have elevators. I’m trying to find something that can do 40mph with a real world range of 30-36 miles and under 60 lbs. do you know of anything ?
@@uria702 To be honest I can't think of anything that I would trust. I'm sure there are options "on paper" but I'm pretty picky when it comes to trusting these things in my home. The only one close that I've ridden is the Nami Klima. Its 40+, you'll get 30-40 miles of range with highspeed city riding, and you'll get an IP rated scooter. The only catch is its 70something lbs. If you have time, I recommend checking out my long range video on the Klima. Just keep in mind I'm over 200lb in the video. If you're lighter than me your performance will be better.
th-cam.com/video/kPP0DZRMJA0/w-d-xo.html
I rode it in beautiful warm weather, however, my commute home was wet as hell in true NYC fashion lol. I believe I did a 20 mile round trip commute on that one. It would've been around 30 miles if it the roads weren't crazy wet.
@@eyebahnrides thanks a lot. I’m going to look into it. I’m right now leaning towards the vsett 10+
@@uria702 you're welcome. The 10+ is cool too. If you have time, go check out the Klima at FFR Brooklyn. They have a demo model that you can take out for a test ride. Ask for Chuck or Greg and they'll take care of you. They're good people over there!
Why do you stop on the crosswalks instead of behind them?
Thanks for watching the video and welcome to the channel! I've done it for decades commuting in NYC, so at this point it's out of habit. Originally, I used to do it so that I can filter my way past the cars and past the pedestrians if the roads are quieter. If it's really heavy congested rush hour, I'll filter my way as far up as I can and stop there.
Is it legal to ride these over there ?? Here in the uk we ain't allowed BUT in the city's you can hire them lol
Thanks for watching this video too @ChargedWheels, I appreciate ya. The Namis are in a legal grey area. Since it's a stand up electric scooter technically it is, however, it's also not because its 1 lb over the weight limit. As long as you're not being a total ass and menace to society, the cops tend to leave you alone. They actually are more curious than anything else. I heard from one of my other subscribers that it's a political mess there for the scooters, I hope they legalize them soon. On the other hand, we're at a tipping point in NYC. I'm not worried about their legality. I'm more worried about the landlords banning them from the homes because of the fires caused by irresponsible owners.
@@eyebahnrides ah nice one thanks for that I was been nosey and wondered as your on the other side of the world haha … thanks for replying I really appreciate it
@@ChargedWheels anytime!
@@eyebahnrides 👊💥👊
Good video. I see you go past 50 with no wobbles, for me I can’t pass 42mph without getting wobble. Have you ever experienced this?
Thanks for watching and welcome to the channel Jay! The thing with the Burn E is it requires a balanced riding posture to minimize the wobble. I used to get it quite a bit in the first 300 miles. By the time I got to 2000+ miles, I was riding at full speed without a damper. Full disclosure, the damper was on there but it was broken and leaked out all its fluid lol. I was riding most of my miles with a non functioning damper.
@@eyebahnrides Oh I see, I’ve only had the Nami for about 80 miles now. I have tried to ride it in different positions and I guess your are right because twice I was able to get up to 45mph before the wobble kicked in. I even swapped tires for PMT which it did make a major difference in the ride so that’s a plus. It would be nice to know what is the correct way to position myself because seriously these wobbles are extremely scary.
Where'd you get the mirror?
Hi Daniel, thanks for watching. I got the mirrors from Amazon. The link is in the description of the video if you want to check them out 🙏🏼
man, im new to the PEV world and love mine. But man, riding on a left side bike lane would freak me out. the left turning vehicle crash risk is so high!
Thanks for watching this one as well! That's why I always call our bike lanes here "death traps". Anything from vehicles to pedestrians will try to kill you there 😢
oh wait so he has a real job and rides his scooter for commute? thats LUXURIOUS. I have to do uber eats on my Ninebot G30LP lol. Ah NYC. the haves and have nots in the same bowl.
Lol regardless of what we do these damn bills come for us all since this city is mad expensive for no reason 😓
Frack that! In England people drift in bike lanes! Without looking! You’d defo hit someone in uk!
Thanks for watching and welcome to the channel Warren! I've seen some videos about riding in the UK and it seems as crazy, if not crazier, than NYC. I think the thing that adds to my confusion is the design of the roads lol. It also looks like the pedestrians are much more unaware over there than they are here lol
Yeah people are like zombies mate! I got an air horn attached to my scooter! That seems to get people to move! Or I shout I GOT NO BRAKES
can I ask where did you get your finger throttle from? thx
Hi TreeBark, I learned about the throttle in the Nami FB group. The group called it the “Polish Throttle”. My contact at the local FluidFreeRide shot knew someone in NYC that sold them, and I bought it from that person. I think there’s. Guy that sells them in the FB group.
I hope this helps!
@@eyebahnrides would this work with the nami klima ?
@@gvillanueva5317 Yes, an acquaintance of mine had it installed on his Nami Klima. Just note that you have to solder the throttle to the existing setup. I had mine done by my technician at FluidFreeRide
Nice bro
Thanks teddy 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼!
If I had to count how many times I got side swiped buy a car, truck and bus. I'd run out of space to write. My only advice is to try and follow the cars movement, by that I mean if that situation happens make that turn with him that way the driver will see you.
Hey Nick, thanks for watching and chiming in. I agree with you. Defensive riding and assuming that the driver is an ass is the best way to ride. Folks have told me I should be more aggressively because of the scooter that I have, however, I don’t because I don’t want to put myself in unnecessary danger.
@@eyebahnrides For me I have the Wolf King GT and even though I have the power, the drivers around me out weight me by a lot.The only good advice I can give, is to use the torque to create a space gap between the rider and the driver and lane filter where applicable. I always assume that the driver cannot see me and act accordingly. Ride safe
@@DT-Nicky great advice for everyone, thank you! You’re absolutely right, that’s why I always say torque/acceleration is the most important thing in city riding.
Great scooter by the way, ride safe 👊🏼👊🏼
Hey eyebahn what throttle are you using?
Hey Alex, I use a throttle that’s been nicknamed “polish throttle” by the Nami community. Check with chuck at FFR BK to see if he knows anyone that’s selling it. If not, check with the Nami group on FB!
Hey man, did you mention how long the ride was? Thanks…
Hey TopWitness, thanks for watching the video and welcome to the channel! Unfortunately, I didn't do the Relive app on this one. The commute is about 6 miles each way.
@@eyebahnrides oh wow, sounds mild distance. I’m struggling with my intention of daily commute. Do you think 25 miles to each way is toooooo long?
@@topwitness1416 it’s quite a short commute on the scooter. I can generally cover the distance in under 20 minutes despite the traffic. My longest commute route is around 15 miles one way and it’s not that bad.
It depends on the 25 miles. 25 miles through NYC sounds like a pain in the 🍑. 25 miles through less congested roads on nature, sounds amazing. The only thing you may want to consider for that type of commute is getting a seat installed to give your legs a rest. Scootering is quite taxing on your legs.
NGL, I get a little tense sometimes watching you ride in that madness. It doesn't help that we can't see into the distance through that camera as well as you can in person, or that I watch all YT content at 2x speed, but you still have enough close calls at speed that it's not a matter of "if", but more likely "when".
Be safe out there brother...
Thanks for watching and chiming in, i appreciate it! Though not as much of a 💩show as the subway system the commute can get really sketchy. Thats exactly what I tell people. “Ride defensively and assume everything is trying to hit you. It’s just a matter of when not if.”
I had my accident last year (doored by a cab and broke my hand) even though I’m quite a safe rider.
You too, stay safe out there 👊🏼👊🏼
Awesome video, but you should use your horn regularly for your safety.
Thanks for watching the video and welcome to the channel, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I generally don't use my horn as much because its quite loud as a "motorcycle grade horn". I especially avoid it around pedestrians and riders in the bike lanes because their reactions can be quite unpredictable. I do use it quite a bit when riding in with traffic since it requires more to get the attention of drivers!
Thinking of getting this or the Teverun Blade GT 2 plus. They cost nearly the same price, blade top speed is 85km/hr and bigger 11" wheels. Not sure wgich 1 to get...thoughts anyone?
thanks for watching this video Jace. I don't know much about Teverun but I hear that they deliver great performance for their price. The scooter I'm riding in this video was my old Nami Burn E and would have a similar 11 inch tire set up as the GT2Plus. Based on what I've read online, the biggest differences are the Burn E runs on a 72v system, has a higher top speed, and higher IP rating than the GT2+. I've never ridden a Teverun before but I can confidently say that the Burn E has one of the best power delivery, ride comfort, and reliablilty in all conditions. That Burn E was with me for years and I wouldn't have given it up if I didn't have issues with my building.
How can it go 52 mph?i thought the Nami burn E goes only 45 mph
Thanks for watching the video and welcome to the channel! I think you may have the Burn E and Burn E2 mixed up. The scooter in the video is the original Burn E which has a top speed of 60. It’s equivalent to the E2 Max. The new Burn E2 has the smaller motors/ controllers so it tops out at 45.
Hope this helps!
@@eyebahnridesOh ok I get now thanks for telling me,sorry for the late reply🙁,could you do a video of how to ride e scooters on the streets without getting hit by car it would be helpful to us
7:01 tf is that guy doing there lmao
Thanks for watching and welcome to the channel! Lol, I was waiting for someone to catch that 🤣😂😅. I couldn’t tell from the video but I just assumed that it’s one of the DOT guys working on the bridge taking a break 😅
How was the first drive on the Nami Burn e?
thanks for watching the video and welcome to the channel! I'll never forget my first ride on the Burn E. It was terrifying and exhilarating at the same time! It left such an impression on me that I ended up buying it 2 weeks after the test ride even though I already owned a Mantis 10 lol. I sold my Mantis as soon as this came in!
@@eyebahnrides
I wish i could buy one, it looks very cool to ride along the streets so fast like a motorbike.
that crash wow , what type of pev the nyc police looking for to give tickets.
The NYPD only target you if you are obnoxious. Don’t be an asshole
It’s crazy how the guy just drove off and didn’t even check in on the guy he hit. Freaking sickening… I get they’re both in the wrong and running the red light but damn…
weeee weee🙂
ayeeeeeeee! thanks for watching!
Nice video @@eyebahnrides
You gotta always assume that drivers in cars dont see you
Hey Bruno, thanks for watching the video and welcome back! You're 100% correct. I tell this to anyone that I meet that's new to commuting with a PEV. Always assume that they don't see you, always assume that something is going to jump out at you, always assume someone is going to do dumb stuff, and always stay 1000% focused so that you can react defensively to any of the situations. Unfortunately, despite all that, there are times you won't be able to avoid it. However, that guy that crashed in the video could've totally avoided that if he wasn't so reckless.
Was the guy ok? Damn
Hey Kyle, thanks for watching the video and welcome to the channel. He was shook up but he looked like he was ok. That’s why there was a cut in the footage. It was because I checked with the people that helped him to see if he was ok.
I haven’t seen him on the road since that day so I hope he gets back to riding, but less reckless this time🙏🏼
It didn’t look like the car actually made contact with that rider. I think they just fell, and based on their general presentation and lack riding skill it was bound to happen sooner or later.
You’re right. I’ve seen him for weeks being quite reckless despite being quite unstable on the scooter. Since they were both running the red, they were both unprepared for that encounter and the scooter guy doesn’t have enough experience to make a proper defensive maneuver.
I hope going forward he learns don’t ride in someone’s blind spot and to be more cautious. People tell me I should be more aggressive all the time because of my scooter but I like that I make home in one piece most of the time lol
@@eyebahnrides and you made the right choice, tailgating cars like the segway guy is not a good way to start your day commuting to work. The car driver probably didn't even hear or see the rider crashing in his blind spot because of no contact. The segway rider had time to manoeuvre, but instead he put his foot down and tumbled. He also rode on the sidewalk just 10 seconds before, cause he didn't want to wait for 5 seconds to pass. Those acts in traffic will only gain you a few seconds, which will be lost in the next red light. People should be cautious in traffic jams, no matter if on a nami or a simple scooter. By the way, correct me if i am wrong, your average speed was about 19 mph which isn't a lot faster than a typical scooter would do, (mostly because of the traffic jam). People should consider that.
@@vagker2550 You're correct. My average speed on the Nami is usually around 18-20 mph because of traffic and speed restrictions. I could, technically, get that average up way higher by riding recklessly (running reds at full speeds and blasting through congested bike lanes) but I don't think saving a few minutes on my commute is worth getting hurt/ hurting someone in the process.
I do wish that some of these people would ride more defensively and assume that no one sees or hears you. I
Lol, ya I'm glad I don't have to navigate that kind of madness. The worst thing I usually have to deal with is tons of roundabouts.
I wish that guy who got side swiped a quick recovery. NYPD should give rewards for dashcam footage like that, like they do for parking violations.
The collision aside, I absolutely hate people who don't signal. It is fundamental to traffic safety and car transportation would collapse if everyone just stopped doing it. In my opinion if someone's brain can't comprehend that, they shouldn't be driving.
Anyways stay safe, and may you be blessed with much good weather.
Hey Paradyme, thanks for watching and chiming in! Roundabouts sound like a welcome change to the craziness of NYC 😅.
I hope so too. There were people that rushed him off to the side but he seemed ok and made his way over under his own power. Just a completely ass move on the drivers part for not even stopping to check on him. I get their both “in the wrong” for trying to blast through the changing light, but you gotta pull over and sort that out.
I agree. It pisses me off when I see it on my PEV or when I’m driving. It just seems more and more people don’t care to learn the rules of the road 😓
Thanks! I hope y’all weather is finally clearing up as well! 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼
Nice👍🏿
Thanks for joining us on this ride and welcome to the channel!
Some people can’t ride for shit and does that scooter really hit 60 mph?
Hey Biscuits, thanks for watching. You're absolutely right, some people's confidence far exceeds their abilities lol. When it was newer and I was a lighter fellow I used to hit 60 more often. Now that its been almost 2 years of owning the Nami and I'm a few pounds heavier, the fastest I've done is 57-58. I've also recorded a 60mph on the GPS via the relive app about a month ago but it's not consistent.
I've never been to east coast, but for all I've seen, it's just pointless go there. West coast is so much better for pretty much everything. Maybe Florida for holidays
Hey Pedro, thanks for watching the video. I mean to each their own man. I love the East Coast as much as I love the West Coast. Each one has its benefits and each one has its drawbacks. As a longtime NYer, I can say that it's a love hate relationship with the city. However, thats how I felt in LA and DC when I used to go there often for work.
The Dude on the Scooter who crashed,must be a newbie.he was riding completely uncomfortable.On a Scooter you have to think and watch for all others
Hey Seb, thanks for watching the video and welcome to the channel! Yea, you can tell hes new based on how he rode. I saw this guy riding almost everyday because we commute at the same time and he's gotten more and more reckless despite still being quite unstable on the road. 100% agree you have to be completely aware at all times especially in a city like NYC where everything is trying to kill you lol.
@@eyebahnrides Hey
..right,The Traffic looks a kind of adventurous😅 People are allways in a hurry or dont pay attention.Stay safe and ride with Brain.Cheers✌🏻
Hello EVEYBAN ITS UR BOY NOTORIOUS IRBY IN NEWARK NEW JERSEY BRO 👍 WHAT YOU MEAN WEN YOU SAY THE POLICE WEN YOU WAS COMMING OVER THE BRIDGE 🌉 CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT YOU MENT OK THANK U 👈👍AND BE SAFE WHERE EVER YOU GO ILL🙏 👈FOR YOU TO THANK YOU 🤞✌️💯🛴👈
Police tend to wait at the end of the bridge in order to try an catch any of the illegal mopeds and edirtbikes that are operating in the bike lane. They're trying to crack down on those things on our streets
That guy was riding too shaky for that kind of environment, he needs more practice 😅
thanks for joining us on one of the OG full commute videos! That guy definitely needed more practice. I saw him everyday for almost 3 weeks riding recklessly beyond his skill level. He was cutting vehicles off and flying on the sideway that whole time. Honestly, it was only a matter of time before anything happened to him. I get that we all have places to go, but don't be a jerk about it
People or no people, don't do 30 in a bike lane. Others don't know what you're doing and it gives scooter riders a bad name. And you don't know if someone is about to suddenly step into it from nowhere.
True it’s called a bike lane for a reason not scooter lane lol
