A request to the EBR review process

[Jsaint]

I think it's important to be specific that the on-camera reviewer riding has a bio card at the top of the review detailing weight, inseam, arm length, and height.
All are important for understanding how the viewer might size the bike being reviewed or the performance of the drivetrain.
So, that's it. What do you think?
Even the entire existing reviews could easily be edited in a shift.

This is a fantastic idea, thanks for the suggestion!

Copying in @Court and @mitchhackleman so they see this, we'll chat about incorporating it. I try to always mention my height verbally when on-camera... but it's never at a consistent spot in the video. I can definitely see how having this data show in an overlay near the beginning would be useful!

It's not a bad idea, but the review page also lists much of the key geometry, and I'd be looking at the company page for more details before pulling the trigger.

As long as we're making suggestions, one thing I'd like to see in every review is an initial "how does it pedal with no power" when the ride test starts. Either on-camera, or done beforehand and just mentioned at the beginning of the ride test.

I've seen it on a couple of reviews, but they're few and far between.

Glad I shared, you make another good point. I was only contributing my idea on what seemed like a glaring ommision. Your addition would have added important metrics leading to new questions. I had to consider my inseam and called the company with a list of questions. Sadly EBR never reviewed the Juiced Scrambler. But there was adequate coverage elsewhere. I consider EBR at least 1/3 of my research tools.

Noted! This is something I've done in a few of mine, will be sure to include it in all of them from now on

We're still hoping to get our hands on some Juiced bikes but have had some difficulty working with Juiced to get review models, I think they've been super busy keeping up with demand. Their new HyperScorpion that is on preorder... I would love to review that one
