 What is up my friends, I'm here at Sky Park at Santa's Village. I'm in Southern California, far away from Boulder. Why am I here? I'm not here to see Santa. Oh. I'm here to ride bikes. And I'm here to ride e-bikes, specifically. Oh yeah. This is Bosch's five year anniversary of being in the United States. And you're probably thinking, well, Bosch has been here a lot longer than that. I have power tools with the Bosch name on it. This is the Bosch e-bike systems five year anniversary. And we're going to rock these e-bikes all over this park. I've never been here before. I'm really excited. When I refer to a Bosch e-bike system, what does that mean? There's three components to it. The first is the display on the handlebar. We have a variety of displays that we develop. This one in particular is a kiosk. Then the next part is the battery. In this example, this is using our power tube battery, so it's discreetly hidden in the down tube. And then the final piece of the system is the drive unit, which is where all of the power comes to amplify your pedal power. So you guys all know how I feel about e-bikes. I love them. I got my mom an e-bike. It totally changed her life. She can now hang with me on bike rides. She goes grocery shopping on her bike. And now today, I'm going to try out e-mountain bikes, something I've never done before. Just to give you a quick rundown of how this works. This little computer right here is like your best friend. You push this thing to go up and down in the speeds. And there's no throttle. Bosch doesn't make anything with the throttle. And throttles are like motorcycles where you just rev it up and you fly. This is all pedal assist. And today, I've only used Eco and EMTB. I mean, then you go up to turbo and I haven't needed that yet. I mean, I imagine that's for like, maybe at the end of the day and you're just tired and you want to go up a steep hill or something like that. But so far, being in the two lowest zones have been a-okay. I've also been riding for about two hours and I still have about 81% of my battery left. So easily on one battery, you could rage this thing all day. Yeah, what's up? This guy here is one of my mountain biking heroes when I was getting into the sport back into the mid-90s. This guy was the man, Hans Noe Ray, one of the best trials riders ever. And now he's rocking e-bikes, buddy. That's right, man. Tell me why you love e-bikes. E-bikes are a good thing. They come at the right time and they're an awesome way to ride bikes and have fun and I tell you, I've been riding e-bikes for, the first time I ever rode an e-bike was actually in 1996 with President George Bush. We showed him an early-swin e-bike. Talking about pioneer stuff. No, but I had an e-bike 10 years ago and I've been riding them on and off and lately more and more. But I still ride my regular bike more than an e-bike actually. But I like the new challenges e-bikes bring. They're fun, they, you know, I can climb up stuff that I could never do before. Sometimes you feel like you wanna do an easier ride or sometimes you feel like you wanna do this epic in the back country where you take two batteries and it's just a, it's a good thing. It's a good thing. All right, and so some people call it cheating. What do you say to that? Cheating? You only cheat if you race somebody with it who doesn't have one. Then it's cheating, but anything else. It's like, is a guy with a titanium frame cheating a guy with a steel frame? No, it's like, it's just like a different thing. It's not, it's not cheating. And I tell you, most of the times when I come back from an e-bike ride, I'm soaked in sweat, I get a workout and different, I work out different muscles and some of them are in my faith because I'm smiling so much. My bicycle's always been part of my life, but I don't know, I'm just older, I'm getting, I get a little more injuries and a little more screws in my body. And I'm just, I'm just having a blast. I mean, I just, it's my church, man. I go ride my bicycle before I go to work and it's what I love. I love getting out in the wilderness and going to work and working hard, but definitely it's, every morning I try to get on my bike and go for a two or three hour ride. Yeah, I have like four or five e-bikes in my garage all the time and usually every day I'm riding with my friends or family, my kids, my wife. It just kind of makes it a level playing field out there for us and, you know, just have a blast, get to talk and communicate and, you know, otherwise they go off and jump on their cell phones, but when on a bicycle, man, they're just, we're all talking and having a blast together. So getting to work out, as you can tell, I'm breathing a little bit hard, not as hard as I would be if I didn't have a boost, but the great thing about this is you can just session these hills over and over and over and over because you're not completely exhausting yourself. Oh, mama. Do you see the smile on my face? This is quite amazing. I am loving this. I am deep in the woods of Sky Park and I run across these guys with cameras and I'm like, what are you doing? So why don't you just tell them what you guys do? We are an electric bike shop based out of Southern California and we also just kind of broken to doing some e-bike packing videos and lifestyle tips for people, trying to help people just understand e-bikes and learn about them a little bit more. So we're called FlyRides and we're just out here collabing with Deuzer. I wanna know why I'm really excited to be here besides being able to ride my bike all day with all these cool people. It's snowing in Boulder and it's about 85 degrees here and that makes me happy. I don't know if I'm going home, not for a while at least. I'm sold, ladies and gentlemen. I'm not so sure that I'm gonna go out and buy an e-bike, but maybe someday and I can see how these things are only gonna grow in popularity. It just allows you to ride more essentially and you know, you hear people say things like e-bikes are cheating. It's like, well, who are you cheating? Yourself? I mean, as long as you're having fun, having a great time outside, breathing fresh air, you're doing it right. This is really cool. I found Santa's house. He lives right here in Southern California. Who knew? Check it out. And look, Santa rides a bike. Of course Santa rides a bike.
