- In this episode I am riding a Zero DSR, 2021 model electric bike. It's my first time on an electric bike, and what a totally different experience! No gear, no clutch, no sound, no vibrations, but huge acceleration and riding this quiet bike through a nature reserve was such a great experience!

This young woman brings such joy and happiness to her viewers. What a wonderful personality.
she dose make me have a better day when i watch her videos
Geweldige promotie van Electrisch motorrijden! En inderdaad die boswachter heeft echt de beste job ever!
I'm a Park Ranger here in the Canadian wilderness. Having an electric bike for patrols would be just AMAZING. Such a versatile and efficient way of moving around and be quiet. Great video and beautiful spot, looking forward to going there one day :)
Looking forward to the day Technology makes it so the big adventure bikes can go electric, And the parks begin to install charging locations.
Taking Moose, Bison and Elk by surprise with an electric cycle might not be it's all it's cracked up to be. All three will run when they do detect you, it's just a matter of in which direction.
@@johngaither3830 Lol relying on fear is a common I.C.E. fan theme.
From an old Texan and world traveler 79 yr. old. I really enjoy your videos. I wish more of the world was like you. Hopefully you are contaigous as well as courageous.
Merry Christmas Noraly - and everyone watching.
same to you. and a happy new year of course
Merry Christmas to you too
You too
Merry Christmas to you too, and to Noraly, MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone.
Merry Christmas Talon 6551
Small problem with youtube platform is you can only give one thumbs up. So far in this series I would give it 10 outa 10. Fascinating content and no surprise, you really excel at each discipline. I watch an episode early each day to get my Noraly fix n smile all day 🤗
Morally, I discovered your channel about two weeks ago and is my new welcomed addiction. Watching it in the morning, noon and before sleep. Your laughter, good nature, bravery, humanity and simplicity is contagious. I have read some of the comments too and understandably everyone loves and admires you. You show all of us not only beauty of the world but beauty of people, and different cultures. World needs people like you to remove the borders and bring humanity together. Thank you, I soon should finish your past seasons and then follow you as you post:)
Sorry for auto correct Noraly
One cannot appreciate enough the value of the work this fellow does; kudos to him.
Such an enchanted, Tolkienesque forest in the middle of the Netherlands. Reminds me of a JRR Tolkien quote that could be about you, Noraly:
"Not all who wander are lost."
Spoken like a true city dweller! Comparing the forest to something in aTolkien novel. More like Tolkien’s novel was like that forest.
@@veiledallegory A distinction without a difference... the forest was Tolkienesque. If this confuses you, well, so be it.
check out: Nationaal Park De Loonse en Drunense Duinen, another beautiful place. (it's very near de efteling)
It's the wanderers of the world who show the rest of us where to go and how to live life. Noraly is a most fantastically wonderful wanderer! This Grand Rock we're all spinning around on was MADE for exploring. Time to get out there and find yourself. "Let's go!"
Traveled around the world and still overwhelmed by her own backyard. Merry Christmas to all, with a wish for a corona free 2021.
"How long have you been working here? 18 years." If I did that job, I would never leave it either. What an amazing job he has.
The nature reserve is awesome. So peaceful and green.
I find that too many riders that critise electric bikes have never ridden one. I have ridden quite a few now (and not just Zero's) and they are excellent, especially the higher powered ones. As time progresses, range will increase and charging times will drop. Electric bikes are still in their infancy.
its the range and charging time that withholds me. this hinders you a lot if you want to see the world. [planning to go north. east. south next year. also dutch.]
It all depends on if you are a motorhead or not...a great part of motorcycling is maintaining/service/moding your bike, this is totally lost with electric bikes. Electric bikes too "simple" to entertain a motorhead..I will not get one until I'm forced to.
i too got the oppotinity to testride a electric motorcycle. Its here on TH-cam as well. A BMW C evolution motorscooter. Had a blast that day, and i thought i would miss the sound. But the whole experience is so much different. Hearing the birds singing while you drive. I miss in this video a it how Noraly was thinking about the bike itself. But still : great video!
@@corecass Yup - range is the issue for me. My normal day on a bike is about 350 miles. 500+ is not unusual. I'd love to have one, but it would be in the toy category and they're a bit expensive for that.
@@mjordan812 500+ miles...800+km? Well my friend, there are many ways you can do traveling. You can blast through everything without seeing nothing else than highways, or you could take it more slowly, stop here and there, even spend extra day or two in some place nice, meet people etc. And this comes from a guy, who have had he's fair share of speedy travelling, with some extreme 1200+miles days. Zero with Charge Tank option is pretty tempting... you could do 250 miles a day at ease using fast chargers. But I must admit, Around The World would be pretty demanding at this stage.
This was one of my favorites episodes. Riding on an Electric motorcycle in Nature
I just purchased 21 DSR Zero. WOW! what an experience riding an electric motorcycle. You really have to watch your etiquette around cars . They move in slow motion , where the DSR is lightening quick, because your not having to feather the clutch , and shift gears which takes time and thought. I need a bicycle 🔔 its so quiet. The horn would be to loud for pedestrians .Thanks for the video of Amsterdam. I love it . Nice clear day.
Quite a privilege to be able to ride an electric bike on a guided tour though this park. Thank you sooo much and a big thanks to the park ranger. Thanks for sharing. Texas
Oh Noraly, you're just fantastic. You have no idea how much I appreciate what you are doing is this season. And this was what I was hoping the most. I had powerfull high cc motorcycles in the past, but now I'm all electric. I have an electric car and an electric bicycle and if I turn to motorcycling again it will be electric too.
Sooner or later, for obvious reasons, we all will turn electric, including you. The future will be silent and powerfull but clean. Steppenwolf will have to rewrite their famous song.
Thanks for showing us this wonderful electric bike and that quiet and beautiful Nature Reserve Park.
In_The_ Desert_ You_ Can't_ Remember_ Your_ Name_... Yes, future is electric. Horses->ICE->Electric->?
@@petrihietanen1102 My nick obviously come from that famous song, but it's funny now that you mention the lyrics, apart the metaphoric thing:
"There were plants and birds and rocks and things
There was sand and hills and rings" ...
"I was looking at a river bed
And the story it told of a river that flowed
Made me sad to think it was dead"
this could describe an episode of Itchy Boots season one. How cool is that, really?
And by the way when Itchy Boots ride in the USA, I hope she ride in... Ventura Highway with Ronin. Ahahaha!!
@@toqtoq3361 You're right, the initial plan was to go back to Peru and drive Dhanno from there to Alaska, but if I got it right from what Noraly said in the last live chat, Dhanno is now in a ship on it's way to the Netherlands and Noraly now prefers Ronin, it isn't clear yet what she's gonna do or how or if she is even gonna end that trip, she seems to be considering several oprions. But it would be funny riding on Ventura Highway listening to that song in the video.
As for the America band yes it is one of my favourit bands and that song Horse With no Name means a lot to me. I miss the 1970's.
For travelling into places with poor infrastructure, it will take a while until we can use electric vehicles... Petrol you can sell in bottles...
It’s so quiet it’s like being in a Library. You want to whisper so not to disturb the wildlife. I would love a job like this.
Like my high school t shirt: "Shhh -it's the library"
After a few day of having to go out looking for someone in freezing whether when you don’t feel would make you realize that it’s just a job! We all hate our jobs until we get another one, then we hate that job too!
This was in the south of Belgium
"You gotta appreciate all the beauty around you, even close by you can find amazing places"
It's amazing how many of us set out on adventures without having explored out own backyards, I'm glad you got to do it!
Amen to that! I grew up in Washington State in the USA...in the Seattle area. Many of the younger people I know are always going on world trips and come back with pictures that don't compare to the beauty that surrounds them, that they've never seen.
As a visitor to your country, I was truly impressed with all of the wonderful sites that I visited while staying and working there. How I missed seeing this wonderful preserve, I cannot imagine. I have always been impressed how The Netherlands makes use of the land.
You mentioned the number of people living in such a small space and yet I did not feel crowded while I stayed there. Just for comparison; Mississippi, where I live, is approximate 3 time the size with only ~3 million people. Thank you for showing us this awesome part of your culture.
The older lady and her Bicycle so Dutch out enjoying the day.
I'm getting an Electric Bike in the Spring.
I didn't notice her bicycle's enjoyment......
Noraly does more than see and record beauty, she reflects it. An amazing gift she has been given and shares with us.
In North America, the Covid 19 precautions have caused a rise in motorcycle sales. I believe an even larger uptick in worldwide sales may be caused by Itchy Boots.
Noraly is so good at showing the fun to be had with any kind of motorcycle. Just ride it!
And she does a great job at it also............. 👍
COVID has changed peoples travel habits for sure. Used car dealers are also having a boom time.
Oh Hello AgentJayZ!!!!!!!
Went in to a dealer the other month...they had only several bikes in stock..i asked. The salesman said they sold all of what they had. And didn't know when next shipment was coming...a good thing for those that already have a bike..not so much for those who are searching.
Was not expecting this intersection of my youtube subscriptions. Awesome.
Coming back to watch this video again, I don't believe I've ever seen a prettier day of riding, ever. Riding slowly through nature on interesting, empty trails, during a beautiful time of year, experienced on quiet motorcycles (using electric motors instead of engines). 'A nice combination.
After you left he became the Lone Ranger :)
One of the best video’s yet. I love the fact that offroad riding doesn’t nééd to involve a loud bike. Had my first motorcycle lesson today. Inspired by your video’s. Went great!
Veel succes met je lessen.
@@kimbee2604 thx!
Unfortunately, even on these electric ones, this is illegal for normal people in the Netherlands
Good luck!
Good luck with you Motorcylce life. Electric vehicles getting popularity but I can say that it’s not easy to rideban electric motorcycle in the big cities because the drivers just don’t pay attention on you.
Noraly: Lets mount an Akrapovic exhaust, I want noise..
Noraly: And it's so quiet, you can hear the birds, wonderful!
You want noise, but we can hear you and the surrounding way better. :)
I am so glad there is bikes which is cool and quite. May the governments ban all noisy bikes to hell.
Can't you hear birds without ANY motorcycle?
lol, Noraly has been converted 😛.
You are living in a beautiful country, Noraly, surrounded by kind and caring people. Thank you for sharing your videos with us.
YAAAAAS! Electric motorbikes! YAAAAAAAS! Thank you so much for featuring them on your channel! I ♥ EV's!
Wow, Noraly you have continue to deliver quality content that make us all wish to pack up and tour the world. Thank you!
I don't know if you'll see this comment since it is an older video, but I just wanted to say YOU ROCK. Glad you made a safe return. Keep riding. You are very inspiring.
As someone who lives in a Nature Park (Parque Natural) in the mountains of Portugal, I would love to see more electric motorcycles and cars. Here we get so many 50cc 2 stroke mopeds screaming along and even worse, Aixam mini cars, which sound like tractors on full revs. To see these bikes gliding through nature is special. I never really realised how intrusive combustion engines can be to wildlife and tranquility, especially two stroke engines.
This video made me cry. Thank you.
Thank you so much for taking me there. Nothing beats nature.
Stunning nature right around the corner! Shout out to the Netherlands! And thanks to you for showing us around!
A perfect combination of bike, rider, and ride. Loved the photography with the low angles of the sun. It made for a mystical aura. You made me smile for the entire video. Thank you.
In these times of international gloom Noraly brings us, literally, a breath of fresh air and beauty on that bike in that park.
Thanks Noraly and Season's Greetings to you from Australia.
You're right. That was so cool! You're job's not so bad either.
Great job Itchy. This video touches me somehow.. After seeing all the amazing places you've visited around the world, you've managed to give me a sense of proudness for our own little country. Thanks for this!
Great video. I love the Dutch countryside - it's a revelation - and I'm from rural Australia. We have wildlife corridors in some places here, but never enough. Make sure you get down here some time. You'll find lots of people who admire and follow you so you'll never be short of an adventure or somewhere to stay.
I think she worked in Australia wen she was younger. :)
You have been all over the world riding, and yet, there is sooooo much to see, in your own back yard, as we say here in the USA.
@@toqtoq3361 Isn't whole planet our back yard ?
@@toqtoq3361 my smile for today!
@@toqtoq3361 Don't blame virus, but our corrupt politicians and corrupt WHO for the restrictions.... If you think they care about your health - they wouldn't create Wars.....
Viruses have always existed and always will - but the destruction of economy is the name of a game.
@@toqtoq3361 Of course - didn't need to say anything - you will experience it for yourself as you already are.
This was in the south of Belgium
YOUR COUNTRY IS AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL. KEEP ON GOIN GIRL. LUV IT.
It was nice to see the good weather while you were riding off road. I also understand how valuable the preserved land must be to everyone. If feel so fortunate to live in Canada where we have so much crown land and National Park's like Banff, Jasper and Yoho. This was a very interesting video and I enjoyed. I agree it is so different and quiet riding an electric bike.
Well Noraly, as much as I love my noisy machine, I do realise how distubing it is for nature, wildlife and the people who are out enjoying the likes, and my hearing loss is evident, but I still love my noisy old two wheeled tractor 😁 Thank you for sharing your ever entertaining experiences. Cheers, all the best and enjoy
So you’re telling me this guy gets paid to ride his bike around the forest all day? Shouldn’t people be paying to do that? Dream job!
I have a friend who gets paid to give people food.
A park ranger job is also to deal with any issues they notice in the park
if something happened and they missed it, they bear the consequences
@@zazugee what kind of issue?
@@shantanupant7724 poaching, dumping of waste etc
Noraly what a beautiful outstanding place what a perfect job Rob has got thanks for showing us how the Zero bikes perform it's the future but for now l am afraid l will stick to my petrol engine noise is part of the ride as you know it part of the sole the smell of the engine but l do get the point of zero bikes for clean noise free for nature beautiful surroundings in the Netherlands we have the same in the west Midlands cannock chase forest once again Noraly a amazing vid thanks for taking the opportunity to share very much appreciated 🥰🏍👍💪
Yes me too ..... ! As well millions too
.............here are some periods, please use them so I can understand your post. ............
Loved this video...what a dream job. Beautiful reserve and all the critters. And a dog that didn’t chase you 😉 Keep up the fun and Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones. 🏍🇺🇸
As a rider of an electric moped (Niu N1S) I am always happy to see the reactions of a rider of conventional internal combustion engine bikes if they try an electrical one. But you had an extra nice experience in this wonderful nature environment. You learned about the joy of silent driving better than on the road. :) It was great to see all that beautiful scenery.
Even though I have been riding for many years, I have very little knowledge of electric bikes. Your video was eye opening for me to see the range and just the overall usefulness of these bikes. Thanks Noraly, for once again making a video that is so informative.
Amazing what you find when you look around closer to home. Beautiful video and you always manage to find music which fits the video perfectly.
Noraly, I discovered you in Season 7 (youtube's suggestion) where I am now, like 1.7 million others, waiting for your next episode. I am addicted and watching your other seasons while I wait for S7 - Ep Next. You are really amazing!!!!
Made me homesick for the time I lived in The Netherlands. Zo leuk. Dankje Itchy Boots.
Ha, I’m retired now for a couple of years but was a Park Ranger for 35 years, a totally awesome dream job. There were good times and bad times. But most of the time I couldn’t believe I was actually getting paid to do my job. Your Dutch Ranger brings back memories of what I did on patrol. Although we mostly used 4x4 trucks. We had dirt bikes but they were Honda XR250’s. Those electric bikes were not around in my time. Cool vid Noraly.
35 years💚🙂
Wish you long & Healthy Life
But I'm curious about your work your Country😁🤔
Greetings from
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia🌴🌴
Another original video : not only do you blag a Zero for the day, you also find somewhere scenic to visit where motorcycles are not allowed ! I expect that you could sell icecream to eskimos !! So looking forward to your next video - hope you stay safe and have a happy Christmas.
Why would eskimos not like icecream? It is awesome.
@@daviddewolf1982 Agreed - but the phrase dates from a time when it was totally unnatural to them and would have taken some skill to persuade them to try it ! In a similar manner, Noraly has managed to persuade many organizations to allow her to showcase them on her channel.
@@johnwatson5473 Historically, that isn't really true.
I'm in an Inuit territory and ALL of the stores have ice cream. I have not seen anyone by any for weeks, but I'm sure it happens.
@@annoyed707 -Hey Guys - it was a light hearted figure of speech that I have heard and was used to compliment Noraly not cause dissent !
I have been following you. I have not thought much of your adventures. Some of those were really tough I know.
But when I saw this video, I really did envy you for the experience you had on this day. 🙏🏼😊
The girl goes around the world and the first time she is lost is in her own backyard! What a laugh, you are always funny. Very fine episode once more, waiting for more.
Amazing what you can find, in your own backyard
Hi Noraly, I really enjoyed riding with you, your first time on an electric bike, and you handled it really well through some difficult terrain. I was a bit concerned when you lost our guide! You live in such a beautiful country, and thank you for sharing it with us.
Thanks Noraly for the ride 👍🏻😎
Wat wonen wij toch in een mooie omgeving. Genoten van deze aflevering.
Hey Noraly,
Thanks for taking us along on such a beautiful day.
Excellent, in the 80's I was a part time New York State Park Police Officer, and road a small 100cc trail bike in the parks. I sure wish back then they would have electric bikes. It would be so much easier to get around. Riding the Parks was one of the best jobs I ever had. Now really looking forward to your next with Law Enforcement Motor Officers that I have friends doing here in the states.
Really appreciate what your country does for nature. Hats off
Your laugh is infectious, and brightens my day ,your videos are great!!! Keep up the amazing work 👍🏻🏴👍🏻
the electric bike is the future. i have an electric car and i love it. Instant torsion is what feels like power.
This episode of this series till now is the most loved video of mine. Thank you Noraly. I really loved his job.
Thank you for sharing your day in the beautiful park with us.
Thanks for posting this experience! I had the opportunity to ride a friend’s Zero in 2021. Not having a clutch or shifter, nor engine/exhaust noises felt quite odd. Yet the ride was fun and comfortable and that linear power-band impressive! 👍🏼
Hello Noraly, what an impressive experience to see you riding on a electic bike thru a nature reservate. Beautyfull weather and wonderfull nature views. The videos from your own country do impress me more and more, you are living i an small but beautyfull country. As always stay save and healthy and keep the rubber to the road. Greetings from Germany
My first time watching one of your videos. I thoroughly enjoyed it. As a motorcyclist and family that traces back the Netherlands, this was great!!!!! Thank you.
Fairytale episode for sure. Love the Zero bike!
Brilliant. A place for every bike and a bike for every place.
The two Zero's sounded more like a swarm of bees going thru the preserve. It's nice to see your popularity and good nature is opening up special opportunities like this.
I'm still binge-watching trying to catch up to current videos.
The Netherlands looks very nice and clean.
@@toqtoq3361 I’m in Texas and people litter. There it looks immaculate.
Het is heel leuk om je de hele wereld over te zien reizen, maar toch extra leuk om je door ‘mijn achtertuin’ te zien rijden. Beterschap met je schouder en long.
I am so impressed with the no noise Motor bike. a wonderful experience to be able to float throuh the land without disturbing any one, not even a bird. Sigh. heart be still.
Noraly, I'm not sure YOU can say that HE has the coolest job in the world - he's got you as competition. Also the dozen or so people who have managed to use TH-cam to turn long distance hiking into a paying gig.
He is no competition! Noraly can write books about the world travel, people cultures and so much more. Who was the happiest here always full of enjoyment! The other guy never even smiled! Noraly is the coolest!
Obviously the guys from Grand Tour have the best job in the world.
Wow! what a great place and beautiful scenery it was like you were back on one of your epic tours again.
I live in the US - my wife is Dutch and her parents live in Ulvenhout. As soon as we can travel again I will be the Netherlands. I always wanted to bring my bike. I like your videos - it is helping me brush up on my Dutch while watching motorcycle videos!
Thank you for bringing to our homes a day in the life of a Dutch Park Ranger. They are silent workers who sacrifice a lot to preserve the environment for the next generation. I was also happy to see the Dutch Government's efforts to preserve its local forests. Wish you, your family and everyone watching. Got inspired by your videos. Failed my motorcycle test twice. On training wheels again for the third test. Hope to get it right this time.
That was an excellent introduction into electric motorcycles for me. Perfect for commuting around the towns and cities or day trips into the forests.
Beautiful! When reading that they expect the Netherlands to have 20 million people by 2050 I'm really worried we will lose all nature and the country will turn into one big city. We really need to stop the growing population to preserve our nature.
So peaceful! Some places you can only truly experience on a motorcycle if it's electric. Thanks for sharing!
❤❤❤ for the first time I saw electric bike so nice and quiet
One of my bikes is the DCT (Honda). It took a little while to get used to not switching gears, but now it's second nature. That was a most fascinating ride-along. Thanks.
Hi Noraly, great video as usual ! Merry Christmas in advance ;)
Beautifal countryside and very maintained. I was loaned an electric bike for about six weeks and it was so much fun (in different way). Once you got used to it not having gears or a clutch it's brilliant for urban riding and short journeys. Certainly would get one when a decent distance is available.
I.B, I love your character, attitude, and outlook of you forum on your channel. Also love you bringing Holland back into my life by you ventures - I lived there (Albasserdam, Amsterdam, Rotterdam) 10 years after the war. I had a fantastic childhood there, but was shanghaid to America.! I live here in Newport Beach, California. Danke, Art Hartman
This was in the south of Belgium
He has the second coolest job, after yours!
For once, a dog is doing something besides chasing you. Don’t flip your visor up, he may recognize you. This vid was mesmerizing, I thought it was too short before I realized it was 24 minutes long. Your videography and nature’s wonders, super!
Its Christmas eve and I'm english but in quarantine in Switzerland for 10 days now and I'd just like to say I always look forward to your videos and this was one of the best. Thankyou for entertaining me x
Hey Noraly, you are the best and i really appreciate your channel. Always something new and giving our housbound peeps the opportunity to experience nature and riding with you. But i must say our nature reserves in South Africa got more to fascinate. 👍👍💟💟
That was such a peaceful and cool 25 mins from the madness of covid....great stuff Itchy Boots so well timed... First time I ever heard of a nature bridge !
Yes, videos like this make me proud to live in this tiny country...
Very nice programming - maybe the title for this series should be "In lockdown, but not locked up."
I love this video. So peaceful with the sunny winter sky, cows, sheep, and electric bikes. Hello from the US. 🇺🇸 Stay safe.
Your two sets of lessons of off-road riding paid off! Such fantastic scenery! Such a fantastic place! Would love to have that job! Taking care of a wonderful park AND getting paid to ride for the day! Fantastic!
Wat interessant..en in zo'n mooi gebied.
Geweldig.
You’re absolutely awesome Itchy Boots, you have done all types of riding skills now, only left Wheelie School❤️
Until I saw Noralee in this TH-cam video, I was never interested in the notion, much less the riding, of an electric motorcycle: Too quiet, too sterile.
Yet... Watch this report and marvel at the beauty of both the season and the girl as she and a park ranger ride their silent wheels through an autumn forest. You too will believe in magic.
If you ever get a chance to see a herd of sheep again, take a drone video. It’s the coolest thing to see from the air. You might not understand it until you witness it! It’s such a cool video to make! Thanks for the video!
