Can we see more reviews like this one?

[Mr. Coffee]

I always like to see a review that rides a bike hard. In fact, they should ride them much harder than they are meant to be in real life.

Literal teardowns of the battery, controller, and charger are also good. It would be even better if the person doing the teardown had worked on e-bike design and engineering and was up-to-date on the what was what.

Some of his commentary on what people are buying an e-bike for is also thought-provoking. Even though I find it depressing.

Harder than that bike should ever be ridden. He got lucky lol.

Seth also went through that bike with a lot of experience before getting on it. He ain't no enginerd, but he rides & builds a LOT of bikes. He does this for a living. 99% of people who get these will do the final assembly on a cheap 6-pack, skill level 1.4 with the toolkit Uncle Andy gifted last Christmas, and send it.

I guess if it gets more folks on bikes, then meh. These suck though & will continue to litter apartment balconies across the country for years to come. Thanks Berm Peak

Thats rly good bike review! I agree.

Having seen the position of his knee relative to the BB, I wasn't surprised that he said it pedaled well. Having seen the relatively shallow angle from his shoulders down to the hand grips, I wasn't surprised that he said it handled bumps okay with no-name shocks.

Before ordering one, I estimated his height: maybe 5 feet, as we were in 6th grade when we could still ride 20" bikes made for 1st graders.

At 18, I still fit the 26" Raleigh that I'd ridden at 7, although I was now 2/3 taller. Raleigh made one size fit all by leaning the seat tube back 30 degree, which meant raising the seat 1 inch moved it back 1/2 inch. Naturally, handlebar height was adjustable.

If that cheap mountain bike had similar adjustments and a long enough wheelbase, I'd be tempted to buy one.

Good channel

 

[Gionnirocket]

What a tool.
The fact that he dissected the battery first and not at the end of his test tells me that he's clueless... but thinks he's entertaining.
And maybe he dumbed it down but he also comes across as not having full grasp of the technology and just knows some keywords.
Sorry but I find wanna be youtube stars not very useful and I'm just baffled by what people find entertaining and informative these days.
ymmv

He's got over a million subscribers and has the most successful mountain biking channel on youtube. So I dunno about "wannabe".

That may impresses many but that only confirms the sad state of affairs.

He certainly knows it all about pedal MTBs.
Although I could see him riding an e-MTB before, I don't think he is an e-bike expert. Compare to Electric Mountain Bike Network. (In one of a few videos of trying a very cheap "e-bike" the battery fell off on a jump; the EMBN guys rarely ride junk, and they have never ridden a throttle e-bike).
Yes, EMBN has ten times less subscribers but the channel has been dedicated to the e-MTBs from the very beginning, they have 2,100 videos (Berm Peak has 500 of them), and their parent channel Global Cycling Network has 3.35 M subscribers.

Compare the professionalism of this video compared to Seth's one.

Now, mid-drive vs hub-drive.

The highest mountain in Wales.

 

[Chargeride]

Ha, hats off to Steve for getting that hub drive up Snowdon.
Berm Peak is a stylised channel, I watch it, hes an old school pedal guy and doesnt ride ebikes.
He makes the Casey Niestat type videos, lots of over analysing irrelevence , but he has made some great videos and theres a hidden nostalgia in them which bubbles you along.
Some of his best are just riding with his mates around US cities.

Sam Pilgrims brother tests various chinese bikes to the limit.

Indeed. He does a review of a (non-e) Brompton while bouncing hard up a set of steps.

IIRC, he often gets hurt badly enough to require medical attention. That's not for me. (I've read that per mile, men are 5 times more likely than women to get killed on a bicycle, and being over 65 is a much bigger factor than gender.)

He did a great review on the Buffalo, but the seat looked too far forward for him to pedal well.
