- Looking to get the most out of your new electric mountain bike? Wondering how to maximize your climbing prowess before pointing your eMTB down a sketchy North Shore line? In this truly electric edition of Pick-A-Part, Wade Simmons teams up with fellow North Shore sender Steve Vanderhoek to cover everything from pre-ride e-MTB setup to adapting climbing techniques to staying planted in steep chutes with a bit of extra battery weight on your bike.

Couple of legends just being legends. The climb session is what mountain bicycling is all about!!
I could watch these two all day. Pure joy from start to finish. Steve V. is a treasure.
Good ol' trailer hitch to start! effin beauties!!🤣
😂
Too good! Lol
🤜🏼👋🏻😂
Love the gear shifter!😂
Love to see that Stan got some love. Thank you for the incredible trails you build (and maintain religiously) Stan. A 6 pack on your truck next time I see it. A tax we should all gladly pay to ride your works of art.
So glad to see Steve healed up after that brutal crash!
Nice one. Just got my self an emtb, and i am riding so much more then normal at this time of the year. I dig it.
Favorite series on the interweb! Wade, you made my summer with the tip of dragging the brakes on the skinnies. This winter, I've been ebiking more and keep getting caught using too much torque at the wrong spots on some of the technical climb sections. Would have never thought to drag the brakes while trying to get up and over. Counter intuitive, but makes so much sense. 🍻
Loved this guys! Great chemistry between the two of them. Then again, Wade had chemistry with everyone😉👏🏾👏🏾
You can also say that If you have troubles with The GodFather, well YOU are the problem :D
I’ve been mtbing since the 80s I’m in my 60s and haven’t had this much fun on my new husqavrna ebike since I raced my first kamikaze in 94. I am re-energized. Love it.
We could listen to Wade say 'drag brakes' for hours😂 Rad video!
Man Wade is so rad, he's just joy about mtb with everyone. The two of them had great chemistry throughout. Great vid 🤘
great colab , more please , even fun to watch for an old school analogue rider
LEGEND!!! I ALSO HAVE LOVED RACEFACE since I first saw a handlebar in a shop on lake George as a child that bar started a lifetime of modifications. Currently installing RACEFACE Next R cranks!
So Stoked!!! Thanks Yoda!!!
I feel like I just got to join these guys on a ride. That was awesome. Great video.
Man, Wade still shreds! Awesome vid.
I watch a lot of MTB and EMTB content on here and this is by far my favourite video. These two are great and Wade is a true legend and all around great guy. 😊
2 Legends who always bring the stoke, but this time... together! Great vid!!! ...
... I've got to go and ride.. right Now! 👌🤙
Dude, that was one of the best Pick a parts yet. Not necessarily because of the e-bikes, but because of the fun riding with your buddy and challenging each other it portrayed. Great episode Wade and Steve.
My kind of fun, I felt like I was right there with you. Great video!
Bringing the fun back to riding! E-machines are a party on trails up and down. Having the most fun riding these days myself since got my first one 2 years ago.
Love these vids 🔥 My favorite 🤘
Sooogood. Totally agree w Wade on the benefits. Nice sessioning that drop and big slab. Nice to see the slab is grippy in the wet w the ebike. Done it on the muscle bike. Time for the ebike.
Wade is still the KING!
Joyful riding. Ebikes are perfect in both directions
Fantastic video from fantastic riders 🤙🏽 awesome ebike Wade I’m jealous 🤣
I say Wade Simmons on Into The Gnar 2023..... fun!!!!!!!!!! Awesome Wade! Awesome Steve-o! Yeeeeeew! 🤘
Just mountainbikers! Love you guys!
must be fun! Nice video 👍
Such an awesome video
Thanks Anthony 🙌
Ton of great info!
Totally agree, eMTB used the way they are showing is for experienced riders. And I just love going technical on an eMTB.
btw I could listen to Wade speaking about anything for hours...
You guys were in my backyard! But I’ve always had to do the hike-a-bike up Incline!
Yeeeeeaaah Simmons again 💪💪💪💪👍👍👍👍
Great vid thanks,
I just bought an RM Altitude PowerPlay and I have been wondering about technique what suspension tweaks I should make.
BANG ON ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Ebikes are fantastic, I'm very lucky, I've got a few acoustic bikes, & 1 ebb, I love it 💪🏾
This is my 4th season on a e bike and probably end of last season I figured out to lower my seat to climb better after falling down a step ridge when stepping off the bike on the low side of trail then high side of trail! Lol
Might have to try incline tonight.
FWIW some downhill trails become a great challenge riding uphill.
It’s snowy up there now! Good luck😂
It’s E⚡️ddicting ⚡️🤘🏽⚡️
Muscle bike - much better term
Muscle Bike, I like that.
Iceland is such a sick trail
I came from BMX and dirt bikes. 2nd hour on eMTB I was dragging rear brake on uphill switchbacks, like it's a clutch. It's interesting that it takes a conventional MTB rider a while to arrive at that technique.
Yo, Wade... Are you clipping in on your meat bike these days too? Or just riding clips with the motor and flats without? I found the extra control and ability to cheat a little bit with clips super helpful on the E bike, but I keep bouncing back and forth.
The best part of this whole video was when the pair of them were making motorbike noises! 🤘
Hi. what size handle bar and length measurement are on your bikes please.?
Not sure if it was already mentioned but I hear people here on Vancouver island calling them Acoustic bikes. Sounds a litttle better than analog I think.
Acoustic bikes. 😊
I've walked away from Millennium Falcon before. I need a do-over some time...
E-bike haters need to watch this. A couple legends here. Nothing but respect.👍👍
Three years on my Decoy and Altitude Powerplay. I ain't going back no way jose.
I would walk all of that.
WHATs the name of the other EMTB there, I see a rocky MTN
Devinci Troy
I can’t believe neither of you called me. 😊
Acoustic Bikes, sorry for the late comment
Does Wade know he’s allowed to cut his bars?
Wade pick a part hardtail edit??? @raceface?
oooo now thats an idea!
What yellow jacket do you wear ?
That’s a Gorton’s Fisherman. All the oldschool heads rock them.
@@jeremyprovonsil7886 brand? I am not from USA
@@BSE75 that was a joke. I’m guessing being a Raceface video with Raceface riders it’s probably a Raceface jacket. Stash, maybe? Google is your friend!
Someone finally climbed mushroom trail lol
"The good thing about hard tires is you never get good traction"
😂
beauties
I ride an acoustic bike or an Amish bike.
Love these guys. But I'm getting a little tired of the push to get an ebike. Ok, it's awesome. We get it. But most of us can't afford a mortgage, groceries and gas these days, let alone an over-priced ebike. Give it a rest already!
They aren't muscle bikes; they are mountain bikes.
Pay your bills guys.
💩 💩 💩
And clip in pedals, definitely cheating
This video is pure e-bike propaganda. E bikes are fine and well, but this was a bit much and Steve even sounded scripted
Just awkward in front of cameras haha, I’ll try harder next time
Loved it!
@@stevevanderhoek1304 you're good man! I think you're just stoked. I had the same feeling when discovering what the beast can do when let out to feed!👏
Blasphemy. Wade + e-bikes = 👎 What a sad day in mtn bike history…😔
He clearly hates them and is only doing it for the money.
@@SamBurkhardt haha!
Haha - there it is! I knew there would be at least one. Anti-fun police.
Dude Wade is a legend! Fuct right off and leave the Godfather alone. Wade is MTB.
@@robrider838 Wade is my fuckin hero bro! I hold nothing against him. He’s just doin what he’s gotta do for him and his family. Love ya Wade 😎🤙🏼
Unless you're gonna buy me one I wish people would shut the hell up about them,an impossible amount of money. Depressing
Still early in the game. Only gonna get better lighter cheaper .
@@mrdrifty6580 I'm getting older n older though,52 and let's be honest not much hardcore riding left in me
I'm 49 Haven't gave up yet
@@elvislad Rubbish. I'm older and feel like I'm just getting started.
Not analogue bike, Amish bike!!
