- This short trip started at 7am, after 8 glorious hours at the factory, giving me what felt like a bonus day on the road.
Join me as I test out the new parts on my Ebike with an almost 200km ride over three days. Camping and a surprise cabin stay along with beautiful weather made this little trip a relaxing test of a sleepy old man and his machines….. - บันเทิง
CA is cold，I think youyou can go somewhere warm😅
Love this!
Need this setup for my Full Moon bicycle camping trips this summer.
@tommysimmons5266. I’m curious, full moon bicycle camping trips?
This setup works fine, doing a few modifications for my spring and fall trips!
Cheers, and thanks for checking it out!

Smart trailer
@richie8214 thanks!
Nice video, at 67 I’ve just bought a cheapo eBike ,I enjoy it but even 20 mph scares me. I’m not sure how I’d do doing what your doing, chicken I think I am…. Btw, your attitude is "refreshing" here on TH-cam. Keep it going !
@kamikaze3557, safety first. I’d imagine that your confidence will increase as you put the miles on your bike. A little fear is a good thing, but I hope you can experience the touring thing you if it’s something that interests you.
My “attitude” isn’t contrived, it’s who I am and I smiled at the comment, thanks :)
Cheers from Canada, thanks for checking it out and the comment.
Stay safe!!
Rick
Thank you for this video
Thank you for checking it out
Looked great Rick! Dinner on night 1 looked fab and the little cabin you stayed in looked like a super upgrade from your tent 🤗 That coasting speed was very impressive 👏
A great getaway, you’ve inspired me to start doing shorter trips, honestly!
Only a few weeks left for peaceful trips before the kids get out of school and the campgrounds fill with families and kids, and dogs, and drunks, no summer camping for me :)
@@shakyhandpictures2185 🤦♀️
Excellent video.
I like the silence out in the wild...
I would have avoided the McDonalds tho. lol
Sometime ya gotta have a quarter pounder, it lasted 60 seconds and I was moving again :)
@@shakyhandpictures2185 Those were what I used to eat... last year I did a lot of cycling while I fasted for 4 days, I only drank distilled water.
Nice !!
Hello from Sarnia !!!
Thanks for checking it out, cheers!
Love the content just did my first ebike camping trip about 40km away but my goal is to get to my dads cottage in griffith wich is about 230km away
@iratemadman1683, outstanding, I’d be interested to hear how that trip to your dads goes. 240 kms is a good ride for sure!
Thanks for checking it out, hope you come back in the fall to follow along!
Cheers!
Rick
Cool trip.
Hey brother!!!!!!! Love ya man
Great trip eh! : )
Too bad it rained. Did you pack up everything when it was wet?
No, it only rained for a couple hours, beautiful the rest of the trip
Too sleepy to see .. ❤ watch with coffee da morrow.
You’ll see, I understand
Great ride Rick, I am curious did you rebuild your trailer from an old child bike carrier? Also what brand E-bike are you riding on?
@chochntr, thanks, I appreciate you checking it out
Yes, this was a kid trailer I purchased 20+ years ago, a two kid unit made by Bell. I like the hitch attachment, it’s worked on every bike I’ve owned and it’s super stable, empty or full
The bike is a Rize RX Pro, from Richmond BC.
I’ve done a couple reviews on this if you’re interested in a closer look. I’ve had issues with it, but I continue to love it!
Thanks again, big trip coming up in the fall, I’m getting excited already!
Cheers,
Rick
How is the durability on the Rize bike?
It’s durable, the frame and most of the components, I am on my third motor with another claim going in tomorrow. Gear noise on the first one, controller failure on the second, gear issues on the third, just an fyi, although Rize has been excellent once you provide the documentation and videos.
Hope this helps, thanks for checking it out,,.
I really do love the bike, despite the issues, nothing I’ve seen comes close, in my opinion.
I had enjoyed your video, except volume. I had it full for sound, lol...
@hikeaphoto746, first I’d heard about the volume, sorry.
Thanks for checking it out!
