Another beautiful day in sunny los angeles california riding around on my 2022 sur ron light bee x black edition electric dirtbike! today. iwent down to long beach california to ride the river bed bike path and ran into some park ranger sheriffs with the lapd or lbpd who stopped me to check out my sur ron light b x electric dirt bike which they compared to an emtb or mountain bike, and also ran into some theives who stole and abandoned some cars on the side of the road. fun day! - กีฬา
you should add like a little meter on a corner of the screen of how fast you bike is actually going
Yeah would be pretty cool
They have apps that use overlay permissions to show speed. You can use it on videos or while just riding.
nice
Except then people will start saying they can be dangerous and then try to take e bike rights away
He might not seem as cool when reality is shown of how slow he's going
The police should definitely be using those electric bikes in that area, it's probably what the officer is thinking
yeah more tax money wasted what we need fat lazy cops on e bikes good sugestuon
Yeah they could be fast on road and off road on those things
Heck yeah, the blue should be using these fast and quiet man a druggies worst nightmare
Some are now starting to use eBikes instead of regular bike and have custom nice ones.
If they had four batteries on them then the cops could use them effectively but it seems like they would start to chase someone and go shit I forgot to charge it or shit I been riding it for a while and the battery is dead so I can't chase but if they have extra batteries and practice swapping them they would be good
Gotta love how cops will stop you to shoot the shit yet at the same time low key interrogate you
They were profiling him. And also screwing the pooch obviously
@@CANControlGRAFFITI profile that’s the word I was looking for! Thanks g
Theres no such thing as shooting the shit with cops, they all have an agenda!
Interrogate 🤣🤣
Quit making stuff up “interrogate” btw
Not only does it appear blatantly obvious that you're having a whole heap of fun, you're actually working on neural networks bro. Knowing about where you are & exploring is building on these networks. I highly recommend urban exploration to anyone who struggles with mental health. If you're feeling lost - you just need to find out where you are. Awesome work John. Love it ✌️
First interaction in Long Beach isn’t a surprise it’s surprising that it wasn’t a motorcycle cop😂 LBC cycle cops are ruthless they will give anybody a ticket
Lol man that’s gotta be a CA bike cop thing bro they the same way in Frisco you see them you go the other way 🤣
Even the cops know not to talk to the cops
Thank you for the POV video.
It looked like FUN...and it was quite scenic for an area like that.
If it's a walking trail ,, you should be going way more slowly 🇬🇧
Really enjoyed this one!
I was raised in DelAire Park near El segundo and Aviation Blvd .
Never had the courage to go out into the field near Hawaiian Gardens south of the 110 or 405!
Heard stories of serial killers living in the bushes..
Friends spoke of incredible BMX jumps out there but never had anyone to travel there with everyone was to worried about disappearances..
Thanks for taking us out there past Signal Hill and into the river area it was refreshing to see such a large wilderness area exists in the LA, Orange County area .
Thanks Johnny!
Yo it's been years since I last watched one of your videos, I completely forgot your channel existed🤣. Glad to see you're still making content.
It's amazing how much can change over the years. I'm 59 and my old stomping grounds now belong to someone else much younger than me ~ LOL!! The trails are gone, the gates are locked, the river has changed its course and the land owners have changed. The fishing holes are no longer and everyone is scared of anyone they don't know (for good reason). The first thing I usually hear from someone is: How fast will that bike go? To be honest: I'm afraid to tell them the truth because I know they will freak out.
Yep same for me and my 70 year old husband. So developed" unrecognizable. Now I know how the first nation people feel......
the people who ask that question are the tarded ones
That area looks like a sweet place to setup a tent for sure.
17:45
Daam I'm loving this bike of yours bro, that's a sweet ride. Just found you today and you seem like a great guy so I'm subscribing man. Sick bike man 👍🏼❤️
Always love your exploration videos. Videos got more interesting when you're on your SurRon !! Thanks Hicks for the time on the trails and streets. You ever get any hate from other cyclist or mountain bikers when on the trails / streets ?
"let's chill for a bit"
Proceeds to go up a steep concrete hill
Really enjoy these videos. I'm sold, I gotta buy one of these one day. Once I save up. Looks like a blast. Big Ups
It's a blast and totally worth it!
I told myself the same thing!
Illegal in most places, be careful
Nice to see my hometown. Beautiful blue sky! Nice bike!
Good to see the cops being interested in the SurRon and you and not just ticketing you. So far that’s been my experience also.
Wow, that was an exciting ride, felt like it was me riding, great camera view.
This video brought back a lot of memories. I grew up in Lakewood in 1970’s early 80’s. I would ride my bike west on Del Amo Boulevard, jump on the path along the LA River and take it all the way to Seal beach. Good times!!!
"It's really a walking trail." Yet here you are zipping along at high speed.
Who cares Karen
Walkers just jealous
Agreed. This will alienate people towards electric cyclists. Not like they need the help..
Cannot see anyone walking there
its john hicks dude can do whatever he wants G
those cops lined up a perfect conversation for the video
haha chopping it up
What we hear him sayin to peds as they move over:
"Thanks!"
What the peds hear at 30mph:
**muffled** "thhhhahh"
There are so many spots for body dumps in that city it's mind-blowing
You do a great job narrating your videos. I'm hooked! 👍
They allow class 3 bikes on that trail?
Ps I love the bike
Damn that bike is legit! Makes me want to get one oh wait I don’t got 4500 to cough up. Enjoy that beast and stay safe out there man
Good to see you still pushing limits John! In UK police take these if it goes over 15.5 mph most Ebikes are limited due to the law
That's why when you talk to a cop you quietly flip it to the lowest mode you have so they can ride it and be convinced it only goes at a fast walk...
Uk is a dump
Bro no one in uk is buying a restricted e bike that’s the biggest waste of money ever, all my man have Sur Ron’s and electrics going 40mph+
@@TalariaDawg sure bro 3 grand is not a waste of money at all and we all have that money to spend with gas prices so high yep..
@@TalariaDawg Lmao fr man fuk those popo who says restrict, e-bike goes bbrrrr 🤣
That e-bike just shreds
I like the way you were cool to the people on the trail . Being courteous to the folks as you scream by on that very cool bike.
Being courteous to people on the trail would mean not riding an electric bike at all on a trail designed (or re-designed) for foot traffic. Especially not "screaming by them", as you put it. That's incredibly dangerous for everyone. But this guy doesn't actually care about the people on the trail, so he does it anyway.
@@justinreynolds6318 think he was being sarcastic. And the uploader of the vid is trying to deflect with his endorsement.
the cops love it 🤣 priceless
That looked super fun!
Just so you know, that graffiti was just characters from the Among Us video game. Its basically a joke because if you are caught going into a "vent" then you are the imposter. The graffiti is basically showing that the storm grate is a vent from Among Us as a joke.
Great ride HICKS!
John you gotta get out by the Whittier narrows/ Rio Hondo/San Gabriel river trail, bike paths,dirt paths,you can even go down into the river area for off-road...
Great video man!
the pump track you were talking about I think is a little farther down, I used to ride my bike but coming from the opposite way a few months back
and idk if they were jumps or a pump track but I remember seeing kids on their d-bikes there
augh man. You should have kept going south & you would have hit up a nice dirt section with mellow Burms & inclines. I would have been interested to see you ride that stuff too. Great Vids!!
It’s crazy how much our environment has changed. You go back to places with trees you remember from like the 2000s and it’s all gone
I’ve rode that way many of times coming from west LA to Long Beach and I must say the sketchy parts are more north on opposite side of river but all in all it’s still a good ride. Next time try Rio Hondo they have some real sites and dirt trails to hit. 🔥
All I'm thinking about when you come to an intersecting trail is my two year old darting around that corner and you taking him out at 30 mph when we are just out on a walk. You are going to hurt someone. At least an ICE dirtbike would make enough noise that I'd be able to take caution but that thing... get off those trails dude. This is bullshit.
You'd be surprised at how much noise a surron can make. I don't have one but I ride mountain bikes and the tires on dirt make more than enough noise to alert someone around a corner.
Great video per ush John! One video you should have a counter number of your speed! Always wanting to know how fast you’re always going! Anyways can’t wait for the next electronic dirt bike adventure 🔥
Love these exploration videos
Glad ur back
Very cool man that’s my Birth place actually 1958, And I still ride dirt bikes but not electric yet! I love the concept , great video
I'm 70 now and my ebike is an Addmotor trike. it has 40 mile range and 7 speeds for peddling, so unless you're in the mountains, they claim up to 80 mile range on a charge. got the biggest bike I can get into my apartment but it's fun as hell with speeds up to 20 miles an hour on electric only.
Those caps were awesome we need more like them
Man things have changed, I graduated from Jordan in 92. Lived at Lousie st and Pacific ave. Anytime the cops showed up, we hit the riverbed. It looks a lot different now.
Love the sound of that thing when you punched it at 1:25 👍🏻
A MC Cop pulled alongside me and my buddy on the road at a light asking: "Are those legal?" I answered "Yeah It's an electric bike, and had some cheesy pedals that broke, and I just took them off" Works EVERY TIME.
Dug this video and reminiscent days growing up in Long Beach California in the 60s and 70. Had traveled a lot of the same places although on my BULTACO dirt bike with my friends growing up.
Dope video bro… there used to be some dirt jumps near Greenleaf in Compton behind the Home Depot… I don’t know if it’s still there but we used to ride BMX there back in the day
There used to be horse trails up there back in the 70s. I used to go riding there all the time. It looks a lot different now. The city has cleaned it up a lot. I haven't seen any homeless camps yet.
I love how when you slow down it sounds like you're being chased by a bunch of wild turkeys!
LMAO
this is how it always is for me on my board. cops seem to just be interested in having fun too lol
Cool bike 💯, enjoyed the commentary and history...👌
Great to see cool cop's.
Very cool. Enjoyed watching your ride
Good work, caught two cops goofing off yakking with a guy on an electric dirt bike.
That place you were looking for was further down. The little side area to play around and to jump with the bike.
Oh that thing moves a little👌🏼
I’m just amazed by the amount of tents everywhere
That is called extreme poverty. You shouldn't be amazed by it. California has a huge poverty issue.
Lol the cop was going to ask if he could have a go until He see your camera
20:53 This place is sus 👀
This area reminds me somewhat of Hawk Hill in San Francisco.
Crime in Long Beach ? Never would have believed.. it’s so wholesome and clean
There are dirt trails everywhere down the LA River. The one in Wardlow is huge. They are building River Trail Park in Long Beach. There is a group of ebikers, you'll see me going down with my EUC.
Man be telling his life story.
❤️Love my boy
Glad the tent wasn't aggressive 🤣
i live out in long beach back in the 90s while i was in the Navy stationed out the then i stayed a few more years while i went to dive school. i left in late 97 it was a lot nicer out there while the Navy base was there, i went back out twice around 2018 /2019 places i remember going were just trashed out. Now the duplex we lived in on 4th street looked like it had a lot of money put into i did notice that. it was funny to see the old toys r us building i worked at on cherry ave had been turned into a best buy.
Nice I will have to look at getting one that wold be fun and helpful for me. Hope I can find it here in Idaho
If you keep riding towards the 405 freeway there is a sweet little dirt section you can ride.
dope adventure... good to know cops are cool in cali, i always feel like they gonna say something to me lol
Dude. I grew up right there, a block away. In the late 80s and 90s.
I remember it being completely covered by trees. A little pond with turtles at the entrance. But I’ve had a couple bikes stolen from there and a few fights… 😂
Cool testimony Brother
Really good vid just wanted to say I still got a pair of HF grips and I might never use em they're basically a collector's item at this point 👍🏾
Damn,I love that that thing (the electric bike) 🙄
i was wonder when id come across you on a sur ron. i need to get my hands on one. fk yeah!
I just hit 4k miles on my Sur-Ron :)
To ride one of those bikes in Britain on roads or public land you need a helmet, insurance, a driving license, an MOT (ministry of transport annual inspection) road fund license (road tax, though usually free for electric vehicles). They are classed as electric motorbikes so have the same regs as gas ones
I liveed in Long Beach around that time you're talking about
That bike is sick!
gotta bring back the official john hicks signature hoodies !!🙏🙏🙏
Slime those tires or go tubeless with Stan’s No Flat Sealant. Drought is devastating everything. Group rides on the E bikes be fun!
Flat out is the best tire sealant I've used. Expensive, but worth it.
Man you were right in my back yard! I live off of del amo. Cool video
You are lucky ,the Suron ebike is completely illegal in CA but most cops just love the look and are not educated on ebike laws
Great video It was an awesome ride.
Man i been thinking of getting one everyday since I saw your vids ..I can pre order from Luna cycles which says I’ll get by mid June to end of June .. in total like 4500$ I heard u say prices is going up..I mtb and been thinking of getting one since price is going up..keep riding
Love how you communicate with the cops.... please give me the address to the trail and park in long Beach. It look like a nice trial
I loved this video thanks for sharing 👍
I wanted to see how fast them things were and you showed me. I like how this bike you have goes. Thing really scoots, wonder how fast and Siron?
Glad you enjoyed it!
Did you ever go to azusa bmx race track ..im talking 30 years ago..correction 45 years ago ..this is when bmx was just starting out ..the 1st thing you could buy was grips ..the 1st bikes were Yamaha and huffy then it was on ..frames handle bars peddles tires ..
When we going to see you start pulling that front wheel up 😉😉 enjoyed the video John 🙏🏻
Yup pull that wheel up and hit someone going to fast and out of control good call
@@orreongman it's called practice buddy don't worry yourself to much.🙌🏻
@@jonathanjr1894 Yeah NO sorry that don't work there Buuuuddddddyyyy (there out cooled you ha)Did that old guy walking down the path that had to step off the path practice with him? Who do you think would be at fault if the old guy tripped on a stick and fell back into that path at the wrong time. KID learn before you speak. Anyone that has practiced enough to safely go down those trails at that speed wouldn't even dream of doing that. They have enough experience to know just how dumb that is. See anyone good at something also wouldn't tell someone to not worry themselves over a obviously dangerous thing to be doing, should be quite because they aren't practiced enough to speak on it.
E dirtbikes are the smoothest, sleekest types of bikes. Can go ultra fast in silence. So stealthy. Nothing annoys me more the reving and noise of regular dirtbikes.
They certainly don't sound silent. Nothing more annoying than that high pitched whine of a e-motor. Like fingernails on a chalkboard.
@@corail53 your comment gives off the same vibes.
John, I literally built Deforest Trails about 11 years ago.
Too bad you can’t take that Surron to Sapwi BP. Looks like you may need to build a set of trails or pump track for some good content. Maybe buy a kicker ramp and find some good hills to send.
Try the Velo Solutions PT in Temecula.
Would love it if you gave a battery update as you ride.
"you recording?" They totally wanted a go
I don't know what's more shocking a 4k dollar electric bike, or zipping by on a walking trail at25+ mph with people "walking.
This is how and why a agencies like to post no bike or motorized vehicle allowed.
it’s also illegal. E bikes have a max legal motor rating of 750 watts The Sur ron has a 3000/6000 watt electric motor classifying them as an electric motorcycle. You could only legally ride them where motorcycles are allowed to be ridden.
Same thing I was thinking.. doesn't seem very worried about others though.. hopefully he stays lucky and doesn't plow someone over..
@@raytschudy8643 woah oh no it’s illegal lol who gives a shit
Sur Ron's and super 76 bikes are a menace to the work the e bike community has done to gain access to trails and paths.
Common sense homie. This shit ain't cool.
@@Panda-ws7cp actually you can’t. The motor power doesn’t go that low, only down to 3000 on Eco mode. The law is that the motor cannot be RATED at more than 750watts. Tuning in down using the controller does not change the rating. Also even if you could limit the power that low then it wouldn’t even be as good as a normal class three bike since it weighs a lot more and the pedal kits are crap with only one gear.
Lots of people have gotten citations riding them in CA and some have had them towed and impounded.
Pull your head out of your ass.
FYI if I wanted a Surron I’d have one. Every one of my E bikes (I’ve got 3) cost more than a crappy Surron.
The city i live in in the uk has nature trails/woods surrounding it. you cant go more than 200 meters without seeing a new burned out car, there are literally 100s of them i think they drive them so deep in to the woods or fields that the tow trucks just cant get to them so there are ones still there from 30 years ago.
I haven't seen a video from you since before the pandemic. Glad to see you out riding and no drama about im moving im being evicted im moving im being evicted shit i viewed for a year. Mabe i will re sub.
Damn This SUR RON is slick ebike!
I rode my 12 speed triathlon bike down that path back in 1986-90 I would hop on at Firestone Boulevard at the edge of Downey ca. right by
golf and stuff
At the end you were at
Seal Beach
