I would use it for hauling water, and to get to work if I still had a job, but I kinda feel like using a regular bicycle is more sensible because of the cost. Still, it's good to have the power if you're going longer distances.
Engwe: a leopard or fox. I would love to get an E-bike but I'd need a basket for my little dog.😄 It's something I've been thinking about. I see folks riding them in my area and they look like fun. Love the idea of 2 batteries. 👍 Thanks, Grey.
Thanks, JT. I was wondering what that meant, lol 😆 the wife has a basket on hers, and I do plan on modifying this one to my liking. I'll update then. 😉 I'll see you tonight on the live. Until then, God bless! 💛🙏
I bought one for my son then ended up buying another for my wife. I like this one Grey. I think they do make a great backup transportation for emergencies and then some.
Anything is possible. People get car jacked all the time. This is why I would prefer to use something like this in the woods and back roads. I think regardless from walking to driving, you are vulnerable, so being hyper aware would be key in shtf scenario.
LOVE, LOVE it!!! I NEED it in a trike style though with a BIG basket. Still, I am eyeballing this one just the same. I really like it. I am wondering if a cart I have could be hooked up to it.
Thanks for the feedback, Rhondah. I'd like a trike as well. More stability and options. The wife said that they make carsts to pull behind 2-wheeled bikes kinda like the ones you see parents pulling their kids with. Anyways thanks so much for watching and leaving a comment. Truly means a lot. 😊🙏
Would have LOVED that bike when I was younger! This made me think that I should probably look into a trike for toting water. Kudos to Mrs. Grey for putting it together! 😊
Use the frame from one of the pull behind kids wagons that attach to bicycles to make a carry platform or wagon to carry supplies, water or wood after SHTF.
My neighbor has a pair of these for him and his wife they love them. they cruise up to the market all the time. with gas prices being what they are these may make a great alternative. Definitely food for thought, thanks Grey also love the intro with the deer very beautiful! ❤
You know I didn't even think about that. Gas prices are ridiculous, and using this form of transportation to supplement is a great idea. Thanks for sharing, Mildred 😊🙏💛
I was thinking that in case of a natural disaster, an e-bike would be able to drive around abandoned cars in the roads, which might be impassable otherwise. Additionally in a chaotic situation an e-bike would be able to travel quietly
@@GreyManPrepping In your review of e-bikes, did you come across a bike that has a 12 volt DC outlet or an outlet for charging mobile phones? That could be really helpful as a backup option
@GeorgeOrwell-yz6zx that is a great idea! On my wife's ebike, I have a special light that's extremely bright, but at its base is a battery pack that charges small USB electronics like phones and so on.
Very cool! I honestly think having a tool like this has the ability to add options for emergency transportation, as well as stealth traveling, and as Rudy had said making it a mule to haul things like water, firewood, as well as other supplies.
These are great options for coordinated people ... that's not me 🤣 I'd be laying it down frequently. Thanks Grey for the review. Remember y'all to Pray, Plan, Prep
Early on, my wife had laid hers down a couple of times, especially in the woods, heck me too. Buy know I'm a semi experienced lol 😆 I do want a trike, though.
I love mine… it’s definitely an option for when roads are impassable to cars.. they are also REALLY fun to ride. Mine gets up to 20mph and I am on the very low end of what’s available.
I like the idea for sure and if they have a trike version of this i could see several ideas for this on a homestead like myself. Even just running into town for odd and ends. ❤
Very nifty as they say, to the question you posed I'd say if its in your wheel house of finances absolutely. My brother and his cohorts use these for hunting off this small mountain trial very quite and you can outfit them with some gear. also would be great addition to emergency transportation. Great review brother!
I'd definitely need the trike kind of e bike. I like the duel batteries. It definitely could be used for whatever you need to get done. Shopping if anything would be open 😂 to hauling water better than walking. With my old back if it took a normal person 5 minutes to walk a mile it would take me at least a half hour. Just wish these were not so darn expensive. Now I'm rambling 😂 any ways happy trails Grey. Would like to see the modification's you do to your bike. God Bless 🙏❤️🙏
Yea, I knew about those but wasn’t sure about compatibility with your high tech gadget. I really love that bike!! I’m a larger soul like you so I would need one like it. Pinball reviewed on that hauled him around and he was a little over 300 pounds then. They are expensive.
Afternoon Grey. I am of two minds on an ebike. First, yes because of being able to expend less energy getting of Dodge. Second, no because of having to charge battery time with solar in grid down. My true question about any ebike, does it have any kind of towing capacity? Would it be worth it in energy expenditure of towing a small trailer with water or such? If it can pull something, does any of these have enough power to pull a small hand manual tiller or plow for gardening? Anyway, just my thoughts when seeing ebike reviews.
I miss riding my bike with confidence since I had septic and lost my knee and some bone in my leg I haven't rode it much, Imhappy I still have a leg but I often look at the electric bikes and think if I ran out of steam I would still be able to make a trip on it. Although it be for small cargo in a basket or a backpack perhaps. It could help you out if you needed a way to get around. Thanks Grey.
Oh boy…I’d love one of those. But I’m afraid that I’d get knocked off my bike. I live “in a good neighborhood”. But in a SHTF….id be easy pickings!! A skinny old lady? Haha….But I’m getting one anyways. I think it’s worth the risk bc I’d never be able to outrun anyone, and or walk miles and miles ( that’s when I’d get knocked off my bike!). I’d get it to go to the store, or sisters 12 miles away…great video Grey…👏🏼👏🏼👍♥️
Looks like fun. Could see using it if I had an acre or so to care for. Another use maybe in small communities like senior citizens or small town to ride to a store close by to grab a couple things. For bug out - might help in the beginning, but probably have to abandon at some point? Good review. Thanks.👍
yeah that's what I was thinking about spare parts , extra chain/ master link, even an extra set of spare tires somewhere, but I do have a question does it have inner tubes
Yes, it does 26x4.0. I have on order do Armour tires. They have a run flat liner. I have a bike repair kit, but I've also ordered an advance set as well. They do offer spare parts on their site, but I've found them cheaper elsewhere.
Sorry I missed this watching replay 🕊️ the E Bike looks great and really haven’t considered this thank you for an important plus to have and thank you for looking out for community 🕊️
Thanks Grey. I've wanted an ebike since they first came out. Unfortunately my finances won't allow it. My hope is to find one at a pawn shop at a price I can afford. I'm saving up for it in case that actually happens. I'm wondering how long it takes to charge one using solar. Maybe you could do a video on it. Much Love ❤
My pleasure Jan, I've seen a few at the local pawn shop I frequent anywhere between 400-800 bucks. That would be a great video. I'll definitely revisit this idea this summer. We are using ours more often than I ever thought, to be honest. Have a blessed day 😊🙏💛
Yes, I see many riding them. In a true grid down, NO. People would snatch you off in a heartbeat unless you had a pow pow and I'm sure they will as well.
Sounds good. But everytime I would need it the batteries would be gone. My son would have robbed them. Don't know how many times he took batteries out of my remote for his.
You know, funny you mention this, my battery storage is now in my armory. 😆 My daughter would always make my stockpile deplete like we were in the apocalypse, lol
I think these are great unless it’s an EMP. Keep a little fold out solar panel and an extra battery on it. We don’t plan to leave so I won’t spend the money on one personally but these would be invaluable for say a college student to book it home if needed. Or if cars are working toss it in the car and drive as far as the car will go then switch to the bike.
My wife folds in half she keeps it in her vehicle as a backup form of transportation. She has more of a van style vehicle, so in the rear, it fits well. This one will fold, but it's a pain from my perspective. Also, great points Stacie, thank you 😊
Over the past 3 months of riding it for hours on end, I haven't had any issues. My wife's has had hers for over a year or so, and battery placement is in the same place and going into town during the summer. There are no issues there either. If I ever run into that, I'd surely do a follow-up video. I know this bike is especially geared for the outdoors, but it is a valid question. 😁👍
Is there anyway to add a trailer? If not, any way to Redneck Engineer a trailer hook up? This would go a long way towards hauling water, wood, or supplies. Loved the review. See about a discount code for those of us that are interested. Thanks for the vid, Grey!! Good job.
Thanks, Big Country! My wife said they do make trailers for 2 wheeled bikes she was like, "Haven't you seen those folks that haul their kids around behind them?" I was like, ohhh yeah 😆

@kathleenmaddox2346 Great points. It definitely would make great for long distances or if you need to get somewhere at a much faster pace.
2 batteries is a plus. I haven’t been on a bike for several years, but it looks fun.

Great features. I like how quiet it is and that it handled rough terrain well.
Yes indeed! I was very happy how well it handled out thier on the trails. 😁
I bought one for my son then ended up buying another for my wife. I like this one Grey. I think they do make a great backup transportation for emergencies and then some.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this, brother. Blessings to you and the family! 🙏
I mean, I really do love these things, but I feel like in a chaotic situation. Somebody could just knock me off the bike and take my bike

Could definitely be good for bugging out or hauling water or game out of the woods.
Absolutely, brother!
Would have LOVED that bike when I was younger! This made me think that I should probably look into a trike for toting water. Kudos to Mrs. Grey for putting it together! 😊
I'd love to have a trike as well, water, wood, and other heavier material 😁

I have an Etrike, had a Ebike before my accident but balance is an issue..the etrike has increase my independence and autonomy.
Early on, my wife had laid hers down a couple of times, especially in the woods, heck me too. Buy know I'm a semi experienced lol 😆 I do want a trike, though.
I think an Ebike is a great addition to a preppers arsenal.
Thanks for sharing your opinion, Forest 😁

Engwe are doing things in this market and we can even get them here in the UK at good prices
That's great to hear! 😁👍
Looks like a nice well built bike. For me I would like it to go faster.
There are some software hacks to get it up a bit faster 😉👍

Check out green motion E bikes
Will do!
I have a question about the batteries.
Wouldn’t they be more apt to overheat where they are located on this bike? @greymanprepping

If in the city it would be a option. Otherwise unless free no
Definitely suburbs or city to get out when all the jammed up vehicles clogging the highways.

Fair enough! Thanks so much for taking the time to still watch. The support means a lot. 😊🙏
