1987, vehicle hit me while i was riding a  motorcycle and I never got on 2 wheels again. Bought an ebike 2 years ago but didn't ride it. Scared..
Until yesterday, and today made mile 3 on the odometer without it or me falling over. Thank you. 💙🚲

Fell off electric bike and now a little fearful. Thankful for this video.

As everyone is aware, there is more than one way to do something.  That doesn’t mean that way is right and or the wrong way.  For instance, I noticed that this gentleman’s ebike has a right handed twist throttle.  From a dead stop, rather than pushing off with the left foot and pressing down on a half cocked peddle on the right, just use the throttle from dead stop and start peddling.  My ebike has a right thumb throttle, so from dead stop I just push the throttle and take off.  It makes no difference what position either peddle is in.  Another, if you do a peddling u-turn make certain you are in the lowest PAS or you will be shocked when you start peddling and you’re in PAS 4.

Our eBikes arrived yesterday, and while we both know how to ride bicycles, these are about 2.5x the weight of our traditional bikes so there is definitely some “relearning” going on.  Thanks for putting this together, great content for new riders!

I am about to turn 73 and am completely out of shape. My doctor wants me to get some activity. I haven’t been on a bike for over 10 years. I used to love to ride.  After reading and watching for over a year, I finally purchased an eBike.  I should have it this week. I have been getting more and more nervous and apprehensive.  Your video was just great. I cannot thank you enough for all of your suggestions, especially, remembering to look at where your going and the squeezing of the brakes. I hope there will be more videos from you.  Thank you! Thank you!

There are a zillion and one videos on you tube about riding e-bikes. Have to say that there was more helpful and common sense advice on this one than on most of the others put tiogether. Thank you for posting.

I'm in my mid 70's and ebike arrived a couple of days ago.  I am very much surprised by the challenge I discovered trying to ride, maneuver, and just starting from a stop.  Video is great for providing info about riding heavy bikes.  It's been 3 years since you've posted.  Hopefully things are going well for you.  Thank you for posting this video.

So helpful - thank you! I am brand new to eBikes and haven’t ridden a bicycle for 40+ years. Such great advice.

I've had my e-bike for 6 months and you assessed my fears right on the button. I thought I was the only one that had those apprehensions. My bike is a 20 AH 1,000 oWh and its a beast it was set at power level 5 with twist throttle and it took off like a rocket totally unlike a regular bicycle where the 4" tires really made it awkward in sharp turns. E-bikes are definitely not for kids I'll guarantee they will have a mishap or serious injury if not without adult supervision. I hope everyone heeds your information before embarking on a e-bike venture.

Great video .I just ordered my first e bike .I haven't been on 2 wheels for a good 45 years so although much of it is common sense and did courses once apon a time it's still great to have a refresher 👍

You’ve more then earned our subscription.  
We appreciate you taking the time to explain these procedures.
We’re new to ownership of e-bikes and felt a little intimidated.  We will certainly take what we’ve learned here and apply it.
Being  of the AARP age, totally agree falling and just bouncing is not an option any longer.
Thank you and know how appreciative we are.

You my friend know EXACTLY what your talking about,,, experience and facts,,, Thank you for explaining WHY on day one I went DOWN,,, First new e bike, very heavy one,, seen a off road hill, tried to go up it,,, slowed down,, BAM  I down,, what in the hell happened? Did not jump off like you did, seat is to high and kept my feet on pedals,, Banged up my leg, foot, shoulder real bad,,, 2 months later still healing, old fart,,, POINT is if slow down to much she will just fall over on you , Period,, So keep ready to put feet down and jump off if must,, The brake info is a bonus,, YEP, easy on them or you will fall, go over the handle bars,,, Love the turns, keep inside pedal UP,, I remembered that from kid riding,, went down in turns , pedal down,, learned hard way,, ha ha ha ,, THANKS again, sure it will help, save MANY injuries to us older folks,,, Riding an e bike is DIFFERENT than a normal bike,,,,, OH, YES, keep looking forward always,,, I laid a motor bike down when looked DOWN to see a flat rear tire, BAM, down ha ha ha

Thanks again SIR, your the safety experience man,,,,

What a great comprehensive review of learning to safely ride an e bike.  76 and just ordered a foldable bike.  Will be listening to your guide more than once!  Thank you so much!  Happy safe riding ✨🌞✨

Nice job. Appreciate you taking the time and effort to put this together. Stay safe.

I bought a new e bike watching your video to learn

Awesome, and thanks for the great info and recommendations. Senior e-bike riders appreciate your effort. I had three serious fails one for not focussing on the path, second grabbing the break too much and third attacked by a dog, hit the front wheel.

For u-turns, I feel safest to be on PAS 0 so the motor does not push me unexpectedly.  If on uneven ground, or incline, I'll use light throttle (on turns and u-turns) while keeping the pedals flat to prevent scraping the ground.  Very helpful videos. Thanks

Wow...was this a super valuable video for ebike riding!  Learned much and thank you!!

Bob says this is a gem of a thoughtful, accurate demo of riding basics. If u ride w a cycling club, cover group riding protocols. Thank you so much!

Thanks for taking the time and effort to put this video together.  I don't have my ebike yet, but hopefully very soon.  Some great tips.  Again thank you.
