    I use videos to watch while I ride my exercise bike. So I rode around with Darren, too. I enjoyed the scenery. Doesn’t look like too much traffic. Good to see the helmet in use.

    You could do with a cycle being sent for Elaine to try, and also a trailer for Max. Then you can all go on a cycling trip together.

    Darren seems like you've got a friend 😂 A bike friend. Great ride out, so glad Eleglide gave you a bike to check out. Just stay safe.Hope Elaine was OK with you out on bike ❤ maybe Eleglide will gift one for Elaine, then you can ride out together. 😊

      I'm hoping too Shelia!! I've been using it today and apart from the thin seat that doesn't work with my big butt!!! It's great 🤗

    • @sheilajoseph9953
      @sheilajoseph9953 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      You could always change the seat for a ladies bottom.🤣

    I have really enjoyed the bike adventures and scenery. It sounds as though you are going to enjoy riding again.

    • @PensionersinPortugal
      @PensionersinPortugal  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yes Virginia, Darren is loving having a bike again. He used to ride alot when he was at university, got him out and about rather than sitting in lectures and sitting at home!!
      Lots to see here and quiet roads to explore 🤗

    What a great idea to tour with your new EBike around the surrounding villages where you live. There is so much to see. We see Ebikes in our future. Hope Your day went well . Sending you much love and Affection 😍😍😍 from Richmond, Va. Harriet, Jim and Yuki

      Hi Lovely People, Darren is out and about most days for period of time. Good exercise for him too, the battery gives a good boost on the uphill so he can go further!!

    That was really interesting seeing the area around your home, had no idea what it was like. Eleglide need to use cardboard packing instead of all the polystyrene, dreadful stuff. Like the bike, looks very useful.
    Thank you for the video.

    Thanks for showing us assembly Darren, you looked like you enjoyed that as much as riding it. Thanks for the gear change info too.

  • @maureenlowther7621
    @maureenlowther7621 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Darren you have certainly enjoy the Eleglide bike and we have been able to see the countryside around where you live. Perhaps you can buy Elaine one as well so she can enjoy a ride.😁😁

    • @PensionersinPortugal
      @PensionersinPortugal  ปีที่แล้ว +5

      We'll see!! Don't see anything in our budget, but if they would like me to review a better one, I'm up for it 😁🚲🤘

    Wonderful video! We've thought about getting some e-bikes. Thanks for sharing!

    • @PensionersinPortugal
      @PensionersinPortugal  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      A great addition, I think and we're charging it easily from our solar!!

  • @jeanrichardson2044
    @jeanrichardson2044 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Less travelled roads, Darren, we saw two moving cars, lol. That is my ideal road traffic.

    • @PensionersinPortugal
      @PensionersinPortugal  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Jean, I know, in the UK you sometimes end up cycling the footpath because it's not safe on the roads. Here there are no footpaths, but little road traffic either. I did feel odd being overtaken by a tractor though!!!

      Darren was really into cycling a few years ago. He would be out for hours!! Kept him sane while he was at university!!

  • @patrickstarnes2355
    @patrickstarnes2355 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Great to see the surrounding area .Small country lanes .I would like to see more !
    I think the seat should be raised a little, your leg should be nearly straight with the pedal at the bottom making it easier to pedal. Give it a go 👍

    • @PensionersinPortugal
      @PensionersinPortugal  ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I'm sure Darren will be out and about now he's got this. He loved cycling a few years ago 🥰

  • @creativelauri
    @creativelauri ปีที่แล้ว

    That's a really cool bike. I really enjoyed the scenery, especially seeing the villages. I hope you continue taking us along. I'll definitely check out your other channel and maybe you can post your future adventures there. 👍🚴

    I very much enjoyed going from village to village & seeing the countryside- I hope in the future you will have an E-Bike too Elaine. So much fun!!! The church was awesome & made for great pictures! 💜

    • @PensionersinPortugal
      @PensionersinPortugal  ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Thanks Marilyn, Darren is loving the bike and enjoy his photos!!
      I was riding it today, so easy 🥰

    If i was a bit younger I'd have gotten a bike like that.

    • @PensionersinPortugal
      @PensionersinPortugal  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      It's quite different being on a bike again, good that this one helps you up the hills 🤗

  • @asc3184
    @asc3184 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Thanks for sharing another video. Nice bike. But i suspect Elaine does not approve fully. She sounded afraid u might get into an accident. Stay safe and well both of u.

    • @PensionersinPortugal
      @PensionersinPortugal  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Not really, just my odd sense of humour. I enjoy riding it too, especially on these quiet roads!! Thanks for watching 🤗

    Hi Elaine & Darren, have you had the rain that a lot of your friends have had this week seems to be in the Castello Branco area?❤️❤️

    • @PensionersinPortugal
      @PensionersinPortugal  ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Absolutely, we're filling IBC's from the garden house roof!!

  • @Mandysfarm

    Omg I need one lol 😂 most probably won’t have a car after July so will be bike only and my poor legs will suffer up these bugs hills from town lol 😂

  • @RuralSpanishRetirement
    @RuralSpanishRetirement ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Goodness that looks fun. I assume that you could lower the pedal assist as you get fitter 😊 nice countryside, I liked this alot. ❤

    • @PensionersinPortugal
      @PensionersinPortugal  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Thanks Jane, yes the electric side works independently on a gear lever 🚲
      Loved your out and about video yesterday, thank you 💕

  • @joanbroadway759

    You could use the bike to go over to the next village to pick up a few things and save petrol in your car.

    Boa tarde meu caro senhor a sua biciclete é fantástica agora pode dar uns belos passeios. Gostei muito do vidio foi excelente. Muito obrigado por nos mostrar aonde mora é um sitio muito calmo gosto do sino da igreja. God bless you🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧👍👍👏

    I was just wondering if they were going to send you an Eleglide bike. Lots of other Portugal TH-cam content creators I follow have gotten them. I would have loved that when I was younger, but now my balance is too poor to get on a bike.

    • @PensionersinPortugal
      @PensionersinPortugal  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Oh I'm sure you manage Joan!
      I was using it today, to the land and back several times!! Never rode an e-bike, it was so easy getting that assist and not having to peddle so much, especially ip hill 😆

    Very interesting to see you in your local villages. You did not tell us how many km the battery runs for?😊❤

    • @PensionersinPortugal
      @PensionersinPortugal  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Darren thought he added that in near the end, but it's a 100kms from a full charge.
      Hope you Guys are well, when will you be back here?

  • @carielswick9091

    What’s the status of the ruin next to your house? Didn’t you say way back you were interested in buying it?

  • @strawberries1411
    @strawberries1411 ปีที่แล้ว

    Nice bike..too bad they don't have a luggage carrier orso.. I hope you can film from a slightly different angle when you are biking, especially the roads with the stones.. getting nauseous😅

  • @henosaraia4207
    @henosaraia4207 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hello sir does this bike has full electric mode ? I mean can I ride with out pedaling? If yes for how long can stay the battery in this mode ?

    • @PensionersinPortugal
      @PensionersinPortugal  ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes it has a throttle and no pedalling needed. Difficult to say how long the battery will last, as depends on terrain, speed, riders weight etc.. but average about 30mins...

      It's quite a statement in such a small village!
