This is your best writing yet. I lol'd a few times, so many plot twists.
Thanks Evan!
Evan, time for you to try one 🙂
These are a sad excuse to replace a motorcycle ...NO BALLS GENERATION on children's bikes lol
@4:51, I love that term "Acoustic Bike". I gonna say that next time i'm on the trail.
4:53 That "whatever" was not acting, that was sooo authentic.. like "whatever Bobo, I only do this shit because you somehow earn money on it" 😂😂 We love you Bobo
Lol accurate
The way Bobo's wife said "whatever"... She's over it.
Oh yeah, that performance was a little TOO authentic 😂
People who think e-bikes are for fat and lazy people, well fat and lazy people won’t go mountain biking regardless of an e-bike or not, they will just sit around the house all day. Most people I see on e-bikes are older people who can’t ride a normal bike, but an e-bike allows them to enjoy mountain biking with everyone. I think e-bikes are awesome, and I’m a competitive xc racer. Just as long as everyone is on a bike and everyone is having fun, that’s all that matters
Hellz yeah 🤘
I'm amazed at the number of people just now discovering how fun motorcycles are.
Somehow you managed to make fun of E-bikes and praise them at the same time. I was trying to figure out if I was offended or amused. Laughing the whole time. 😂
Lol 🤘
SOOO much this! LOL!
Lesson learned! E-bikes give you nightmares of going back to normal riding.
And then poor Kurt's family could only afford a cardboard and duct tape tombstone because he blew all his money on e-bikes
😂🤣
I started wearing a tow rope with me when I ride now. "Hey man.....can you give me a tow to the top?"
I’m trying to hit more jumps on this climb. 😂
When everyone gets an e-bike they will just be called bikes.
"I used to bring water now I just bring vodka" 🤣
people in the parking lot when they are trying to kickstart there bike! lol
You must be in Northern Norway, its daylight even at night when you're going to bed.
Kurt stoke the show on this one! Haha. Nailed every scene. 😂
He tends to do that 😂
🥲 thank you
This was great. Great vid and editing, Bobo. Thanks!
🤘😁
Love your creative energy, always a pleasure to see you post..
🤘
I was sold at Vodka and Pizza. The dirtbike sounds made me only want to go straight to the Stark Varg Future and skip pedals all together...Thanks BOBO!!!!
Just came back from work and had a big laugh. Thank you Bobo!!!
glad you liked it! 🤘
eBikes - great fun going up, great fun going down. And that's why i ride, for fun.
🤘
I was ask today what I was riding and he looked and said " oh, you ride a old fashioned bike"
This is by FAR THEE BEST video about e-mtb's!
Hahaha! Your e-bike videos are the best. I’ve definitely been living the dream since I got mine two years ago.
Nice! 🤘
“Remember when we used to have to bring water?” lol
Haha this channel is hilarious seriously can't stop pissing myself. You even make me love ebike
Vodka and ebikes, what could go wrong! 😅😂
The dirt bike kick start, throttle revving and sound effects part were awesome, I might have to mount a speaker to my ebike to crank that out on the trails :)
Lol 🤘
Please don't
My man!!! Keep shredding😂
Absolutely Hilarious! love it, just finished a eMTB ride today and can totally relate... hahaha so much fun
🤘
This was super funny man. I had a full-powered eMTB, power was epic, but I didn't really like how heavy it was in most situations so I got a Specialized Levo SL. The SL is by far the best bike I've ever owned, I freakin' loooooooove it! You're videos just keep getting better man, keep it up!
As someone out of shape who just got into both MTB and got an ebike, I def can attest to the fact that you are still quite out of breath. The "attack stance" or whatever for like 50ft will leave me out of breath, quads/hammies burning, and like 160+ hr. If I didn't have an ebike there's no way I could do any of what I was doing.
Dream within the dream, classic!
Inceptioned y’all’s asses lol
Licking every donut and hoarding pizza.... 😅🤣😂
Love it Buddy, awesome vid
Thanks dude!
I love your ebike videos there all really funny, 😂
One of ur best vids for sure 😂💀
Thanks dude 🤘
Your videos always make me laugh Bobo!
🤘😁
I don’t know who needs to hear this, but e-bikes belong on mountain bike trails as about as much as golf carts belong at Augusta National.
Lol #truth
Awesome video,loved the editing skill on the jump scene !! Keep them coming !!
🤘
4:47 acoustic bike 💀 😂
Freaking rad vid!! As an avid e-biker couldn't agree more with it all, love it guys keep 'em coming!!
🤘
Bobo actually really hates ebikes. This is satire.
@@Clynikal i fell for it then haha! but every "satirical point' in this video is actually absolutely correct. Ive put 1400 miles in 3 months on my e-bike since i've got it (took a year on my acoustic bike for that) and since the e-bike my skills, endurance, style and overall enjoyment of the sport has gone through the roof.
Satire or not e-bikes are the present and future of MTB, and they freaking rock!!
Pov: out with the old in with the new and telling people to upgrade
Masterpiece! 😊
I’m apart of the EBike community now! I got this now great job on the video it was so Funny 🤣 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Master Bobo ⚡️🤘🏽⚡️
Ya got me with the "now I just bring vodka"
lol, gotta stay hydrated!
Love the rock climbing gear in the back ground 🧗♂️👍
🤘
That might be you’re best one so far 😂
thanks!
EPIICCC TABLETOP CONVOY!!
🤘
Who needs an ebike when you can just get towed by your buddies ebike?!
Awesome!!!
I always said ebikes are perfect for the whole weekend enduro culture.
You guys hit the nail on the head, bloody fantastic episode 🙏🇦🇺
This so funny and so accurate good vid
Can you guys hurry up I want to hit some more jumps on the way up!!
One of your best for sure 😁
🤘
Ya gotta get me one of those. But already got a surron with fox shocks Guess I'm all set. LOL great video guys have fun....
🤘
RIP Kurt 🤣 I bought an "acoustic bike" almost solely because of your and Berm Peaks' videos. I would have made a great lackie in this video, bc it's been decades since I rode like you all do 💪 Fantastic work!!
It's not a guitar ya lunatic
i swear that grey cardboard box with "kurt" on it had me dying 😆
😁🤘
I enjoy comedy and you have all kinds of it in this video! The countdown and 2 stroke sounds were great and the various uphill comments too. I see you can do some pretty good-sized jumps on them, videos often minimize heights and distance...
Oh for sure! I hit way bigger jumps on my e bike than my Amish bike 🤘
Your a LEGEND BOBO!!🤣🤣🍺🍺
🤘😁🍻
Always enjoy your videos. I don't own an e-bike and not really looking to get one yet. Maybe someday. Only 62, so there is time. Also, I just bought a new Esker a couple years ago and love it and don't really have the money to spend on an expensive new e-bike. I know there are probably some good deals to be found on a used one, but if I ever get one, it will probably be new and something like the new Transition coming out or another smaller, lighter bike. All I really care about is that I am able to keep pedaling! Thanks for the entertainment!
Amen
Buy one yesterday, you could drop dead tomorrow!
Switched over to an e-bike. Don't worry I'm taking spin classes to make up for it. 😁
Nice 🤘
Are you brave enough to send it over to Pinkbike. Surely they'll all find it funny too ... right?
And smoking the cigarette riding uphill - awesome. lol
Hilarious video!! 😂
🤘
I love the e-bike lore
Great vid man, maybe your best yet. Someone get this man a TV show!
thanks dude! I'm super proud of it 🤘
Class video Guys and so funny
🤘😁
What I'd give to just hang out!😂
Laughs in single speed
Dude is a riot
Corvette muscle T is back!
💪😁
I don't bike, have no experience with mountain biking in any way, and yet am endlessly entertained by your work. 👍
best thing I've heard all day! 😁
Time to get a mountain bike and join the party
Love It!
🤘
Good job on this one
🤘😁
Now we just need more trails!
True dat
Christmas story….!Hmmmmm. I triple dog dare ya. 😂😂😂
Me when I start thinking about riding a non ebike "what are you trying to be a peasant!?"
lol
I spit coffee at acoustic bike
That’ll be the day when my youth XC league has a e-bike race
The winner of our last XC E-Bike race was a 14-year-old NICA racer. The dude is fast and has some serious skills.
The pros could not stay with him.
Love my ebike. Being disabled its opened up a whole new world of mountain biking. Plus its become my main commuter not a car, save the $$$$
Nice! 🤘
@@BIKINGWITHBOBO yup, used to kill my fractured back to climb, now Im up and down the hills all day
HILARIOUS!!!!!
What about dentists on ebikes? Just checking with the laws of BOBO so I know how to proceed moving forward 😂
lol, that would be a good one!
World peace. That is what would happen if all had an E-Bike.
Bobo does it again.
😁
LOL Great video.
i love you guys
Waited until today, Friday, to watch. Figured I'd save it for an appropriate day! That jumping segment at 2 minutes was a thing of beauty! Your humor is so refreshing. The cigarette was damn funny - and I absolutely HATE smoking! Well done on the comedic part.
That said, I kinda have to take issue with your premise. And don't get me wrong, I LOVE your videos. They're a riot and so spot-on (usually).
But not this one. Right when we really need kids & Americans to embrace the bicycle as a healthy alternative to the motor vehicle, we introduce electric bikes to the masses. I feel this is a big mistake. We're only encouraging more sloth and less exercise. And I'm sure when many kids jump on the newest e-bike, they'll ask, "Why do these things even have pedals?" Why go half way?
And the "kick starting your pretend motorcycles & twisting the throttles" only sends the message that, "Gee, we sure wish our bikes were REAL motorcycles!" Sorry, I can't agree with this. Nope, wrong message. BIG swing and a miss, BOBO. The moto and bicycle crowds have always been pretty distinct. The former tends to be on the anti-environmental side of the aisle, whereas cyclists have generally been on the side of the planet. That's a place I've always liked being on, despite the antipathy groups like the Sierra Club show towards mountain biking.
Whenever I see a kid in one of those cool motorized toy cars (I would have LOVED one), I get sad. Here's a kid, full of vitality, energy and enthusiasm, being moved around by an electric motor. It's doing every kid a disservice to put them in ANY motorized contraption!
Kids gotta ride! And adults probably even more so!
I am SO GLAD my parents forbade me to get a mini-bike, then a go-cart, and then a motorcycle. I KNOW they're fun. I KNOW they're awesome. But they have their place. Let kids first fully experience the fun, challenge, reward, hardship, exercise, adventure, and everything else on a PEDAL BICYCLE FIRST! Strong, healthy legs are built by bike! I credit my youthful cycling throughout childhood for having INJURY-FREE KNEES for the ten years I played soccer. And now at 57, my knees are still injury-free and happy as clams! Cycling did this.
So this cyclist wants to take a stand against the further widening of our children's collective waistlines and NO ELECTRIC BIKES!!!! And I'm not an anti-e-bike either. I get it. I really do. Especially at my age when all-day mountain excursions are much harder to do. But when you put kids straight onto e-bikes, they miss a really important part of cycling. We'll pay dearly in the future.
That said, I do embrace the electric bike for its POTENTIAL to re-make our transportation landscape. I think of all of the truly hellish commutes that could be eliminated by e-bikes. The poor soul-crushing bumper-to-bumper traffic in LA, Seattle, Atlanta and about a hundred other American cities. The backups to the beach in the Bay Area, and oh so many other examples of how we could devote roads to e-bikes and really make urban and highway congestion a thing of the past.
Wishful thinking, I know.
PS I want to add that I am NOT anti-motorcycle or car. I've had my moto endorsement for over 15 years - BUT I still haven't taken the plunge yet. AND I'm a sports car enthusiast. I LOVE riding and driving fast. It's an amazing experience and challenge. So although I post a LOT of anti-driver rants, I'm not anti-car or motorcycle. I'm anti "motor vehicle addiction." And cycling in Europe and the Netherlands last May further opened my eyes to the United States' insane auto addiction. (I spent a summer working and riding in Europe 30 years ago, as well as have bicycle toured there, so it's not new to me.)
Sweet baby Jesus what a great video
Banger
🤘
RIP Kurt
...seriously the smoking made me spit out my coffee
He will be missed 😢
Yup always getting passed by e-bikers on climbs now. They kind of sneak up on me sometimes. 😄
Great vid!
🤘
had a bad dream that i had to padel up the mountain, then i woke up and remembered that we have so many lifts in europe.
I’d love to get one if I could ride it legally in Pisgah. Could have some epic long days. 🤷🏻♂️ sticking to acoustic for now.
for sure! you can also ride them at fire mountain 🤘
Where all are you allowed to ride an eMTB around Asheville? I'm aware of Kanuga in Hendersonville and Fire Mountain Cherokee. Any legal single track? Thanks!
those two places and the new bike park: Ride Rock Creek, are all that I know o0f for now. Tennessee is pretty much any trail you ride, e-bikes are allowed!
@@BIKINGWITHBOBO thanks! Looks like South Carolina is pretty much open too as far as I can tell? I hope so, cause I’ll be riding them. Shhhh!
Yeah, now I just bring vodka.😂
RIP corner @1:40
lol, I see u
Oh man, I miss my e-bike ever since I moved to Canada. No e-bike now :( man too bad they are so expensive..
U don’t need one dude! Just go ride ur mountain bike! Regular mountain bikes are way more capable in the hands of the right user than any e-bike. Just practice and get better on a regular mountain bike. No one needs this electric assistance. Just bring snacks and a couple doobers and u can ride just as far if not further than the e-bikers.
Hell yeah
🤘💩
