You had a lot more freedom than I did in school. We could not leave and they watch for us to leave. my senior year I only had a half day but had to take study hall so I could give my sister a ride home.
In Florida we are allowed on the sidewalks so that is where I prefer to ride. Viewers criticize me often for it. I just ignore them and keep riding.
We are planning on moving to Florida in The Villages, Top of the world or someplace similar, if the house insurance rates stop going up if not maybe Georgia or South Carolina
The first bike I got for Christmas was a 24” huffy. Never forget it
😊
Hi Russ. It was beautiful here today. 73 degrees and sunny. I got to ride 14 miles. I use the right arm to indicate a right turn. Seems to make more sense on a bicycle. I had a 2 way stop and the right of way but I saw a pickup truck barreling up to the stop. I was afraid he would not stop and maybe did not see me. So I stopped and let him go. Better safe than sorry. I did give him the stink eye when he went by. LOL.
That E-Bike, looks very very very very Cool 😎 Russ😎😊👍
😊
Good advise Russ, you really have to be aware of the actions of others while on the roads! I always ride on the country roads, with a reflective vest, headlights, tail lights on, front and rear flashing lights and my flashing Xnito helment but was still forced off of the road into the ditch by a driver that was in my lane, as she was looking down at her phone! Thanks for more great videos.
Drivers get distracted!
I live in the country too. There are more wrecks in the straight aways than in the curves. It's hard to understand.
Very much so!
Being a cyclist and driver as well, when I am driving I always give cyclists the right of way cause it is a lot easier for me to stop and get going again than it is on a bike.
Hey Russ, starting my 4-day weekend the right way, watching and listening to you hitting the streets and talking about lots of stuff👍Nice to have dual batteries on the Engwe, wished MC would come out with this feature, no range anxiety on this bike. Just get out there and ride today as you would say.
I ride as cold as 30s F or maybe even 20s if I’m really itching to go. But, I have cold weather wear specifically for it that cuts right thru the wind and the chill.
Good Morning Russ. Yesterday I watched your video on my phone while I was getting my 2nd bone marrow transfusion, I rode my e-bike to my appointment it was 11°C (51.8°F). You know that person calling you a F-n C-wrd, obviously never watched any of your videos, coz you got a flat riding with traffic. About turning with hand gestures or turn signals, I realized last night riding with my son on our e-bikes, it doesn't matter if you have turn signals or not, drivers are not looking for bicycles/e-bikes. Always Be on the Look Out, if I didn't have a horn, my son would have gotten hit by a truck speeding & running a red light and almost hitting Mike, I was recording and put it on Facebook because I had my radio playing and couldn't post it on TH-cam. I don't think manufacturers care if you keep them or not, they only care about you making a good review for each bikes. Thank you for another good video. 😎
Hope your transfusion went well.
Thank you, yes it went well. 👍
You got it right on the hand signals, the old way is based on being in a car where they wouldn’t see your right arm. I do wonder how old that system is, it’s gotta be so long ago that cars didn’t have turn signals built in. I have never seen anybody hand signal a turn in a car. I do hand signal when riding, but I point with the applicable arm, which makes more sense. I’m a big believer in turn signaling, I wish police would go on a scorched earth campaign of “education” on the non-signalers. It makes people hesitate around at intersections not knowing what people are going to do, and of course causes lots of accidents and near misses with unsignaled lane changes.
😊
If you get hit by an errand golf shot, causing you to lose control of the bike, fall and hurt yourself, can you sue? If so i will start riding near the Trump Doral golf place. The red car appeared to be a mid 60's Plymouth convertible. Those cars with vinyl roof thingies tended to get rusty underneath.
Thanks for the video
I stick my right arm out to turn right. I don't trust newer/younger drivers to know what the left arm up signal means.
I don't wear normal pants so I don't have to tie down my right pant leg. I wear cycling tights that are tapered to avoid chain problems.
Be aware of every car, some cars can turn without using turn signals do be careful always expect danger 💯
I turn with my arms and indicate with my finger on the hand out that I’m turning
😂Russ is cheap ! You're too funny 😁 😅
I have an X26. I cannot decide if I love it or hate it.
I use a velcro strap to keep my pants out of the chain.
My brother had a Chevy shove it. We had to shove it several times.
Hahaha! Mine had a fire in the back hatchback. We guess it was from the muffler being installed too close and caused the fire.
@@RussIsRightWow, that is worse than shoving it. That's scary. Only car fire I had was in a 68 mustang (my first car). Mom was teaching me to drive and asked if I smelled gas. I did not. We pulled up in the driveway and the engine went in flames. I learned from that to trust others sense of smell, and I never got to drive the mustang solo. An Aspen ended up my first true car.
Luckily it caught fire when nobody was in it.
Prolly the stupidest question you ever got but would you consider getting a storage unit for your bikes that you wanted to keep ? Great channel Russ !
I'd bet I know his answer to this question. Russ is Right but Russ is also...
Russ is cheap!
@@RussIsRight Russ is the Scotty Kilmer of e bikes. Helpful, very well informed, entertaining, likable and CHEAP.
@pedrofernandez8729 😊
Yeah cheap was my first thought lol
Have you thought about wearing your regular glasses with clip on non polarized sun glasses?
I stopped wearing clip on sunglasses after college!
Hey Russ, my Juiced charger has a RED/Charging and a GREEN/Full indicator light. So when its done, it done. I can also verify that it is noticeably warm while RED/charging, and immediately cools when its GREEN, which I assume to mean it is no longer hitting battery with major amps. Perhaps there are some other chargers that are not automatically managed, or maybe I'm mistaken about mine. Also, have you ever thought about reviewing / trying a Juiced e-bike?
Many of my chargers for the various companies do the same thing, but I don't trust it. I prefer to pull the plug immediately. Better safe than sorry. As for other brands, I only review bikes that are offered to me and I have never heard from Juiced.
Technically, what the green light means is it’s hit whatever threshold voltage they’ve designed the charger to stop providing full current so as not to not overcharge the pack. It’s not “done” per se. It’s good practice with lithium packs to leave them on for a while once the charger switches over to it’s trickle charge state (green). The reason that is, is because your battery pack contains dozens of individual battery cells wired up in parallel groups then series wired together to make the pack the desired voltage. The individual cells do not necessarily drain exactly evenly when you use the bike. When you leave it on green, that has a small current going into the pack that benefits individual cells which might have fallen slightly behind the others on voltage. If you don’t fully charge the battery regularly or take it off right when the light changes, those lower cells can get further and further behind the others over a bunch of charge cycles where they are below the safe minimum voltage for the cell, and they are effectively dead. Once that starts happening to enough cells in the pack, you’ll start getting bad performance, and worst case it starts getting dangerous because the threshold voltage where the charger turns green is actually overcharging the cells that are not dead and increases fire risk.
@Nemonurwingy Rad Power Bikes at one time recommended deep charging for 12 hours every now and then for this reason. I wonder if they still recommend this given the battery fires being reported.
@@RussIsRight I’m not sure with Rad, but it’s good practice to leave it on green for an hour or two or more once you hit green (as long as you plan to ride it soon) because that trickle charge disproportionately benefits the cells that are slightly under voltage and in a well designed system poses very, very little risk. It’s a shame with the fire reporting that we don’t get specifics. Id be curious how many Rad (or other big, reputable manufacturers) bikes have ever caught on fire. I’d bet it’s a very low number. Most of the stuff I’ve seen where you can tell are hand built or modified stuff or very low quality no-name manufacturer stuff.
@Nemonurwingy Yes, many are bikes and batteries that aren’t the best.
Russ, the good thing, if you had an accident with the truck, you had proof with your camera. Of course, you wouldn't want that to happen. This bike looks like it might be what I am looking for. Did they offer any discount under your account?
Not this time. Sorry!
I have a feeling you will be selling the Engwe X24 soon. You don’t seem to like the way it rides stock and you don’t seem to want to change how it rides. Why would you keep a bike you do not like how it rides when you have “to many bikes”.
You might want to change the stem for a video and show the difference in how it rides before the change and after. Plus what is involved in changing the stem. That would be interesting.
Thanks
I made that video when I changed the stem on the Zebra.
