G Word - Better Bike

[MrHobiecat]

If the bike is so easy to ride, WHY do you need an electic motor and batteries?!

3 to 5 THOUSAND DOLLARS?! I can buy a Schwinn diamond frame bike at walmart for $200, do the math, the time you save by going a little bit faster is NOT worth FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS that you spent on the bike.

they see me rollin'

[ThinkStage]

Very cool

a horse would be more fun then that.

[KrunchyJD]

This is a good idea, but probably will not work because Americans are fat and addicted to their stupid cars

[mynameis6785]

first off get your panties out of a bunch it was a joke and this thing keeping up with a gxr600 id love to see that and second batterys are just as bad as gas yea let some batt acid leak out and see how helpfull that is and people are sending jobs to china because a majority of americans are to lazy or dnt want to do jobs they actually have to work at and ill put up because i help protect your ass so you have the right to say this so thank you

[mynameis6785]

kept up with a motorcycle? maybe a fucken moped

[goose2goose2]

@mynameis6785

Quit being so stupid....My TANDEM Recumbent will go 80 MPH ! ( no fucking moped )

and will outrun a Harley off the line....

and I get 40 miles per charge..the batts get recycled and they are made in the USA.

Helping create jobs here, not in CHINA.

NOW >>> show us what YOU have built, anything at all, that will use zero gasoline.

Please just show us now.

Here is my site ...you can see lots of what we have built.

SO ....either put up or shut up......what will it be?

[shawwhtmn]

warning: if you ride one of these bikes you turn in to a faget with just one use

[chadanderik]

these people are retarded. "i can easily out-run a car" what happens when you get past 10 mph and your stupid bubble shield thing starts floppin around and crap? and i like how the guy pulls up all BA in his cheetah helmet. look out hyabusas. theres a new kid in town.

[skiboarder4]

Sweet helmet bro

[bleedthedead]

"I've kept up with motorcycles"

ya and I bet you get laid a lot too

[asswrangler1]

dude looks like he touches kids.

[kobidobidog]

@asswrangler1 So what, humans were meant to be touched. The devil gives guilt.

[Micklol]

JUST RIDE A GODDAMN BICYCLE

[MagicalTaint]

Saves a lot of money on condoms too...

[chvy3]

ever tryed just leaving the bike alone? you'v tamerd enuff with everything else making it "greener" the bike is the most eco friendly thing out there apart from walking, i my self am a biker, and am very pasionate about bikes, altho i do extreme biking this will still effect me in the long run and soon, bikes like mine will be gone and replaced with theese horrible road bikes wich make more carbon footprint than the originals ever did!

[fatqwert200]

2 to 5 id rather drive my vw bug

[bazengao]

in a bicycle the only engine you have to provide you motion, it only dies when you die and its very efficient for the porpuse it was made for.YES IT'S YOUR MUSCLES! and to keep then running and working you only need to feed yourself (something that you already do) theese kind of engines improve themselfs each time you use them and they tend to get more and more efficient each time you use then, its very simple efficient system because IT's NATURE MADE!!

[cdltpx]

Maintence of the ICE car. Oil change every 3-5K miles, every 2 years you are supose to change out your coolant ,refueling regularly, inspection or brake tag,bleed brakes yearly to remove any water. Air filters are to be changed at certian intervals wiper blades every 6 months tires every 25-75K miles. Transmission fluid is to be changed around 75K miles so are the spark plugs and wires. I am sure I am missing some components. Then insurance BLAM that is exspensive. This machine cuts most of this

[cdltpx]

A hundred a year for transportation is almost free. Consider this you are not mandated to insure this by law you save over $1k right there then there is the fuel savings sure it is not as good as a real car but it beats just a bike for those of us that are aging and injured. The batteries can be recycled so it is a green machine also you add a solar panel to the top possibly tow one on a one wheeled trailer and you have a ride that runs on sunshine.

[82maxim]

You can buy a clunker motorcycle for a couple of hundred dollars and call it recycling if you want....what a joke 5,000 for a hoop'd batt bike

[fairyheli2]

do you no what would be better for the planet? a recumbent bike with a 100 diesel that runs on biofuel

[terry31127]

all the shit on that thing basically makes it an electric moped

[JohanKH]

Do he sell them complete? Was a very convenient position as long as you don't have to actually "cycle" it.

[hawkermustang]

This is a called a Nerdped.

[martingrau98]

I generally agree w/mewfushisdad. however, the manufacture of a car's components (mining, molding, etc) use up around 90 BBl of oil. This can't compete with a normal bike in terms of carbon footprint, but if somebody takes a car off the road and uses this for getting around, the planet is a better place. I'd prefer everyone move to normal bicycles, but I'm okay with these as a 'baby step' toward that goal.

[MewFushisDad]

With all those batteries that have to be produced and then discarded when they finally die, what is the real carbon foot print of this electric, recumbent moped?

Nothing is as efficient as a bicycle.

[ytuber28341]

Yeah, but every time you buy a car, how many hundreds of times larger is your carbon footprint?

Think...

What does 1 bike weigh... Now what does a car weigh?

You do the math!

[MewFushisDad]

Your talking to the wrong person about buying a car.

My primary means of transportation for my two kids and I is a bicycle built for three(Triplet) or a bicycle built for two Tandem depending whether I'm riding with one or both.

My next new "car", due in the next few weeks is a human powered Velomobile Quest. Possible the most efficient means of human powered transportation ever created.

From my perspective this so called "better bike", this electric moped has a huge carbon foot print.

[ytuber28341]

Your right.

But if compared to a car, it's a toothpick.

A car is a dinosaur.

[MewFushisDad]

That's a great way to describe a car but as an old friend of mine use to say, "cars are like a hog on ice" going no where.

By riding a bicycle I figure I save by not driving enough to make 3 to 4 mortgage payments a year.

[ytuber28341]

I agree.

I have a car. It is not new. It is a small car, used, good shape, single owner, & $2,200.

I would never go for new & waste 18 to 100,000 just on a car!

I also have an electric scooter, & a bicycle that I use either or for small trips around town.

[not4resale]

It is possible to recycle batteries. I'm not sure if the U.S. has the facilities but I know its been going on in Europe for a number of years.

[cdltpx]

@MewFushisDad Compared to a car this is far better than anything else. I have an electric bike but sadly I can't even ride it due to my hip hurting post backsuegery. Some one like me might just have to turn to the recumbent bike since it has a traditional seating. IDK what it is with my back I might be forced to get rid of all my bikes. I go riding my pedal asist electric bike and I cant set my left leg down if I do I fall over in pain. Someone like me needs some assistance.

[bikerusl]

@MewFushisDad

"Nothing is as efficient as a bicycle."

Right on!

[gabigowriel]

@MewFushisDad I might add , nothing is as efficient as a VELOMOBILE!

QUEST , MILAN OR WAW !

If you add a 500 or 1000 watt motor+ a 20Ah LiFePo4 battery pack , you won't believe the milleage you get while riding a velomobile!

Nice video!

[steve018574]

lol @ "let's go for a ride" at end... (guy just drives off..)

[ez3usx2]

looks nice and the price doesnt seem too high.i hope u guys make a 3 wheel version too.have fun.

[roadworms]

New batteries once a year and this is called "green"? Just add a crankset and you don't need any batteries at all. :)

[ishouldplayzelda]

i would just get a gas engine for it, electric vehicles are a pain in the ass unless they collect their own electricity like with a solar panel

[2008marian]

these look more like electric scooters than bikes

[moss1transcendant]

i built mine for 500 pounds and its 20ah 43 volt lipo with 650watt cyclone kmx kart. thats everything all in price, second hand where i could. electronics all new.
