Another great video. I haven't watched the whole thing (I can't watch a video that long from work) but from what I've seen so far it's awesome.
The scenery out there is just amazing. I would love to go riding there. And your bike seems to be doing great.
Did you make this before ebikes were banned? I'm guessing they probably don't enforce that ban too much...
I can't argue with performance. It's just unbeleivable to me that you are doing this with a home made motor on a Huffy! Excellent work man.

I already took my asthma medications this morning, but thanks for your concern anyway.
My mountain bike videos are right here.
That boring, tame, slow riding on a smooth dirt roads does not prove that "a center mounted motor ebike can take as much abuse as any other bicycle on dirt roads or trails as long as the batteries are mounted securly(sic)."
You obviously aren't at all familiar with how much abuse other bikes can take nor with what kinds of trails mountain bikes can be ridden on.
Not to mention the additional loads that a motor and batteries would place on the frame if it was ridden on some challenging mountain bike trails.

That rockville video is pretty good. I only had time to watch that and the ride through Fort Bragg. Fort Bragg looks like a nice quiet enjoyable run too, though some of those switchbacks and narrow entries could be deceptive. Nice videos!
I'll hopefully be able to borrow some kind of recording device this winter, as we've got a plan lined up for some winter riding in December.

Its been explained to him before, but he's not interested in listening and either doesn't seem to understand for himself or doesn't care. I've given up providing fact and explanation to him, as he's only here to troll.

There's obviously only one way to settle this... I call for an ebike-off!

All Randy/Randall (or whatever this guy's name is) has to do is make his frankenheap available to someone who will take it on an actual mountain bike ride in Poli Poli, or a Skyline/Poli Poli combination and his crazy claim about it being able to "take as much abuse as any other bicycle on dirt roads or trails" will be disproved quite easily.

LOL!
Pay close attention to this part:
"his frankenheap available to someone who will take it on an actual mountain bike ride"
Putzing around on dirt roads does not count, nor does it substantiate your ridiculous claim.
Comments from your lame video like "no bike could go beyond this point" and "I come up this but there are too may rocks to skid on" (both paraphrased) only prove that your "mountain biking" experience is incredibly limited.
If your frankenheap was actually ridden on real mountain bike trails, at normal (not grandma) speeds, it would be in pieces.

Non sequitur.
You have provided ample proof that your claim that your frankenheap will "take as much abuse as any other bicycle on dirt roads or trails" is utterly fallacious.

You have claimed that your frankenheap will "take as much abuse as any other bicycle on dirt roads or trails."
That is utter crap, as I and others, have irrefutably demonstrated.
You have also refuted your own claim (via that boring, tame, slow riding on a smooth dirt roads video where you talk to yourself incessantly) and additional demonstrated that your definition of "mountain biking" is a grandma's definition of mountain biking.
What an odd thing to post. First, I am not mad at you. I pity you. There's a big difference.
Secondly, you have a frankenheap, I point out that your claims are mere fantasies so that somehow means that I have a "piece of crap bike"?
How exactly did you arrive at that conclusion?

No, I came to my conclusion by understanding that adding tens of pounds to a mountain bike frame (even one that isn't a POS Walmart bike) makes that bike less resistant to abuse. Then I saw the video of what you think "mountain biking" is and I understand that what you describe as "mountain biking" does not even come close to being representative of the forces that mountain bikes encounter when they are ridden on real mountain biking terrain.
So yes, your claim that your frankenheap can "take as much abuse as any other bicycle on dirt roads or trails" is absurd.
How exactly did you come to the conclusion that my very durable bike that has actually been ridden on very diverse, very challenging terrain in a number of different states and countries over a number of years is a "piece of crap" again?

I gave up racing for pleasure and riding safley and the cheap Huffy fulfills my needs to go anywhere and faster on round trips up the hills and back.I do NOT rely on pedaling at all. Your jabbering pure nonsense about something that does NOT apply to ebike riding..Your application is purely downhill bicycle foolishness.Even though a Huffy with good wheels will handel the same abuse.Show me a video where your expensive pedal power mountainbike is going up hill on a good grade at 10 mph yet at 20 mph the Huffy does fine if you don't mind your kidneys getting jared.Of corse a expensive bike will work better but who needs it when the motor and batteries coast enough? All you really need on a ebike is a strong frame ,wheels and strong lightweight efficient motor system with reliable brakes.

I am not referring to downhill racing. I'm referring to actually riding your frankenheap at mountain biking speeds (not granny speeds) on mountain bike trails.
After all, you're the crazy guy that claimed that your frankenheap can "take as much abuse as any other bicycle on dirt roads or trails."
Mountain bike trails can be quite different than the smooth dirt roads that you offered up as "proof" of your frankenheap's durability.
What does that have to do with your silly claim?
Furthermore, that is pure conjecture on your part. I would take that bet in a heartbeat on many trails. This one for example:
Not only would you be walking your frankennheap up it while I would be riding, you would be walking your frankenheap down it (assuming it was still in one piece of course, which is a big, big assumption).
So you frankenheap can take you "anywhere" now?
Again, as your silly video demonstrates, that is a lie.
How is pointing out your silly assumptions ""talking nonsense"?
You forgot to answer this question:

From someone who lives in Vancouver, this is what I call mountain biking: https://nsmb.com/
Randy rides on dirt trails that even a road bike would have no problems with. Perhaps that is 'mountain biking' on his little island.

You can always only try to accomplish what I have done by YOURSELF and YOU can go to jail all by YOURSELF too.. But I still hold the worlds EV record to climb 10.005 ft in elevation that YOU SAY you can do. hahahaha. Lo Well cant even do a 2600 ft elevation climb on the dirt or otherwise.. Either can Mrs mountainbiker in 20 minutes. on her $2000. bicycle that will never get 25,000 miles out of... Two girlscouts of a feather that flock together...

I'm not seeing this anywhere. No guiness record, no wikipedia article, no sports sanctioning body article. Nothing!
The only hint of an EV world record in a hillclimb was the Pikes Peak climb.

Just to confirm, can you quote a source other than yourself for the "world's EV record climb to 10,000ft" ?

Its a documented fact that was published.It's not my falt that you can not find it.Let Lo Well try and she will fail what ever I have accomplished on a ebike and end up in Jail for her attempt .She can't even do a 2600 ft elevation climb on her motorcycle in 20 minutes.Nor can YOU on a human powered mountainbike.Try it in a gas moped lol. Pikes Peak was NOT a worlds record elevation climb for a EV.Go back to your bicycle or girlscout forum.

Ok... so I can't find it. Since you know it so well, how about YOU tell where this document fact is?
I'm just curious which sanctioning body reconnizes this world record?

Why are you avoiding the question?
Your "record" is official isn't it? So point me to the "official" recognition of the record so I may enjoy it as well.
Or is your "record" just a bunch of B.S. ?
Personally, I think it's real. After all, why would someone go around bolstering about such a claim in this day and age? You'd have to be quite stupid to go around claiming to have a world record which can't be proven. Right?
But I really have to wonder why you keep avoiding the question? Why can't you show me which sanctioning body reconnizes your record? And there's surely a nice article to go with it that I'd think is worth reading.
