While testing my new bike that I’ve been sent from crazybird, I decided to try and educate some drivers on why cyclists do what they do.

Just saw the community post. Packages should have a return address. Unles this address is the address of the seller of the package, you should report this to the police immediately! This creepy stalker behaviour will only escalate!
Hi Ashley interesting video god to watch but surprised the bike costs £1,499.00 my car only cost me £500 9 years ago and sailed through its mot and is ulez compliant think i'll stick with the car 😀
If you keep riding the way you do you’re going to be injured. Perhaps severely. Would also recommend you stop riding these subpar e-bikes.
Love how you park on the pavement at the beginning of the video 😂
You overtook to 'show the motorist'. What a righteous pr**k.
This guy seems a bit slow in the head. Slow in the head and a massive ego.
A piece of reflective tape in front and back of the helmet would be a nice touch, if you ride at night that is. 😜👍
I've been on the road since I was 8, not driving obviously, but cycling and i learn something every time I'm out. The biggest issue I see is stupidity, mainly from drivers up here, but cyclists during the summer are also very stupid. These videos that you put out are excellent, and i'd pay £1500 for a bike with those tyres, my idea of heaven whilst cycling, as well as a comfy seat. And I've always changed my cycle brakes to something better
The throttle cutoff speed should be programmable separate to the pedal assist max speed…
The kit I bought to upgrade my mountain bike was the same deal – suposed to be fully legal, but the throttle wasn't programmed right.
Programming manuals for most ebike controllers are fairly easy to find online, then it's just a matter of interpreting the chinglish content.
Hi,be safe,.me I have Accident on the street,I was going to work by push bike, 17 September Friday 2021, Hospital whipps cross, they said I hit the pillar,I been in coma 5 weeks
To many bonds broke on my body
Motorists don't know they're terrible? Yeah ok what about cyclists who go out their way to aggravate drivers by blocking them from making a safe pass, not using provided cycle paths and what's even worse are the food delivery cyclists who continually jump lights and weave through traffic without looking or making signals. I drive a bus for a living and have my passengers to consider and don't want to slam my brakes on because a cyclist has decided to weave into my path. I don't have the luxury of 1.5 meters either
11:46 Did your glove make contact with their side mirror
@11:44 – a bit of a tight squeeze to get to the ASL, an in my experience that just p's off the motards.
As for your jolt on when the power kicks in, usually with E-bikes they have hidden settings to adjust this to your preferance.
You have a bafang motor so you can reprogram the throttle to comply with the 6kmh rule.
Assuming the gloves are for protection, but you wear shorts
Ash you mentioned about the brakes could be better, but just a thought, was the bike new out of the box? If so, did the brakes need bedding in first?
I love that each mode of transport be it lorry, bicycle, car and motorbike displays unique challenges of each and requires different behaviour approaches. Love the versatility on your channel.
32:39 Shocking that the driver of the car with the license BG18 AFN would pull such a dangerous illegal manoeuvre right next to a police car. Just shows how little people care.
What Karen told him to wear gloves in good weather? Ridiculous Karens.
The one thing I really like about eBikes is that when my ankles started to fail and I could barely walk I was still able to go cycling, people don't realise that they are excellent disability aids 🙂
How is that eBike with the assist OFF? and how is it on FULL assist for battery life?
A throttle that goes all the way up to 15.5 mph is illegal unless it's got grandfather rights (which it doesn't) or It's only throttling up to 6mph without pedalling but can assist up to full speed when pedalling (which may be the case) or it's type approved (which it doesn't appear to be and they shouldn't have sold you the throttle in the UK is it's none of the above).
11:40 I'm sure people will complain that you got too close to that car, HOWEVER the actual issue was that the car was blocking the SOLID WHITE ASL entry lane and should have been way over, so the driver was the real issue.
32:35 – BG18 AFN (BG18AFN) should not have close passed you and is supposed to be a Professional Taxi Driver for Delta Taxis Liverpool.
39:15 – PN72 YJV (PN72YJV) that was a funny looking bicycle in the cycle lane and one of the reasons people hate using cycle lanes!
I cycle but if I ever got an ebike I'd get one that didn't look cool to thieves. A bike like this would be way too attractive to a scally and I wouldn't feel safe either riding in secluded places like the loop line or if I was stopped near people at traffic lights.
8:17 – "that's not 1.5 meters but for me it's totally safe, totally fine"
This isn't the message you should be putting out Ashley. The driver could easily have given more space because there's nothing coming on the other side of the road. If we're telling drivers that it's fine to not give 1.5 meters and give whatever distance THEY think is okay then we're in trouble.
42:30 – that's one of my least favourite roads in Liverpool. It's 30mph but everyone just does 40 down there.
What is the issue with the throttle? Excess speed? I looked into it a while back and as long as the motor is sub 250W and 14.6mph? Throttle usage without pedal assist was legal in the UK although not legal all over the EU. That was before we left the EU also.
Shame they don't have an electric scooter 30/40mph with insurance and special plates/insurance. Bikes like that are sold already and illegally in use.
Why are you not wereing high visibility clothing?
I'd love it if you could cover cycling on roundabouts in more detail. The options in regards to chosing lanes cyclists have.
Interesting video Ash – catching up !
A lot of very useful points that need continual mentioning.
I'm glad you mentioned the "optional" "throttle" ! The maker advertises the Crazy E-Bird Jumper as having full throttle control up to 25kph, not just E-Assist, without mentioning that that then is no longer a Pedal Cycle, but requires (aiui) the full moped package.
Brave man going down the vale on a bike. Absolutely harrowing experience. It’s bad enough in a car.
