Reaction to FortNine “How E-Bikes Are KILLING Motorcycles” | CycleCruza
I just got done watching Fort9’s video called How ebikes are killing motorcycles. And you know, I got a lot to say about that in this video. And I’m going to keep it real with you. And also, I want to give you an update on my Bugout Moto Van trip that I’m getting ready to take. I got some exciting news on that. And I got a new bike. Let’s go for a ride. Subscribe today. First off, if you’re going to ride a motorcycle, ebike, e- motorcycle, whatever, make sure you’re wearing the gear to stay safe. And I have links to all of my awesome gear like this airbag vest that I never leave home without my ultra lightweight carbon fiber helmet that comes with an automatic 10 shield shorty gloves. Links to all my gear is in the description and comment section of this video. Look, if you haven’t subscribed already, make sure you hit the subscribe button. My channel is about anything and everything on two wheels, hence the name Cycle Cruiser. It’s not just motorcycle cruiser, it’s psycho cruiser. I started this channel on a 178cc BMS Chinese scooter. Okay. And I’ve been on tons of motorcycles and all kinds of uh ebikes, e- scooters, and trike and bugout moto van and bugout land and everything. Uh in this video, I’ve pretty much shared my life with you guys uh on my YouTube channel since 2012. Man, my look how my garage is getting overrun by ebikes. You know, I got what two motorcycles left and I got I got more ebikes than I got motorcycles, guys. Okay. Uh Fort9, he said he was talking about, you know, how ebikes are taking over. He said this new generation are not buying motorcycles. And that’s evident, guys. When I went to the dealership the other day, I did a video uh going shopping for a motorcycle. That place was loaded with motorcycles. I never seen that place with so many motorcycles in my life. I mean, that was a fire hazard in there cuz a lot of those lanes were closed off because they had motorcycles going all the way to the very end. You couldn’t even squeeze through on the sides or anything, man. You had to go in the middle of the aisle loaded with motorcycles and nobody there to buy motorcycles. Just look. But the prices are so high. Uh, and that’s a big hurdle is a lot of people right now. It’s tough times, man. It’s high inflation. Everything’s so expensive. People aren’t getting jobs. are losing jobs, everything else, man. And they just can’t afford to pay, you know, thousands of big thousands and thousands of dollars when they can get a ebike for $1,000, $2,000, man. And have fun, get a cardio workout, no insurance, no license required. Um, freaking you can ride anywhere. Cops don’t bother you. You can ride in the woods, you can dual sport on them with these nice big fat tires on there. uh commute to work. You can you can do any and then of course you can charge them in the sun via solar system like I do in my bugout moto van. So you get free energy. You don’t have to fill it up with gas. It’s no low maintenance. You don’t have to do any maintenance really on them, man. Just clean and lube the chain on on a rare occasion. That’s it. You know what I’m saying? Uh and don’t get me wrong, guys. I’m motorcycles are number one to me. Always will be. My wise is my favorite. uh thing on two wheels, man. My MTL7 is number two. Um, and number three to me is ebikes. I love these ebikes, man. I’m telling you guys, I’m I’ve been repping them. I’ve been telling you guys since 2022 when I first bought a a ebike that uh Siron X Black Edition. I paid $4,000 for it. It wasn’t given to me. I paid for that to test it out. I’ve been talking smack about ebikes before that. And some of my viewers challenged me to actually try an ebike before I talk smack like I was in the past before I got them. And lo and behold, now look at my garage is full of ebikes. I even got a trike here. Look at that. Two ebikes over there. Erike here. Another ebike here. Another ebike there. Another ebike there. Another ebike here. I got one in my van, the G100 Pro. That 50 mph ebike, which is sick. That’s my official e uh ebike/e motorcycle uh for my Bugout Moto van I’m taking on the trip with me. I’m telling you, I love them, man. And for those of you guys that hate on the ebikes, 90 I’d say probably about 95% of you never even rode an ebike, man. That’s a sad thing about it is you’re you are ignorant like I used to be. Just talking smacking. You never even tried it, man. I I looked at the demographics on my channel and I get like a lot of guys 30s, 40s, you know, a lot of older guys and a lot of you guys are old heads stuck in the old ways. You don’t want to change. You don’t want to come to terms with the way things are changing, man. And that’s fine. You know, Sometimes I wish I can click my heels and go back to a time before I was even born, before computers and little house on the prairie times. You know what I’m saying? We don’t realize how good we had it back then. People, you know, humans had it back then compared to now. This technology and everything, our world’s getting our food’s getting messed up. Every everything seems to be getting bad. But I’m telling you, life on two wheels right now has gotten better cuz it’s a whole lot cheaper now with these ebikes are fun, guys. You don’t have to have a uh you know like motorcycle to do 200 plus miles an hour to have fun. Doing high speeds on motorcycles just put you closer to death. That’s why if you look on the news, go type on Google right now. Type motorcycle, you will see loads of them just recently of people died and 98% of them is because they’re speeding on a motorcycle. You know what I’m saying? That’s why I got rid of my superbikes and I went to the smaller bikes. the torquy bikes, the YZ450 FX custom super mode, that’s a torque machine. The MTL7’s a torque machine. Um, I learned to embrace torque. And then when I started riding the ebikes, uh, I fell in love with the electric torque. Starting with that Seron X Black Edition, I the first time I rode it, I looped the wheelie on it cuz it had I didn’t realize it had that much power. Man, the torque was absolutely so fun and addictive. It’s funny. You see, Fortnite did a video on, you know, talking about how ebikes are killing motorcycles and everything. Got a ton of views, everything. And I’ve been telling you this since 2022, and all I’ve been getting is just hate. I keep trying to tell you in the comments, have you try it? Ebike, try it. Okay? He even showed Fortnite showed in the video, man, all the benefits that you have with it. you know, with motorcycle which you you know, you have to go to you have to go to motorcycle school or go to an MSF class. Uh you got to go you got to get a license. You got to get insurance. And it’s it’s a it’s a process that a lot of people in this new generation, they they don’t want to learn to shift gears. They don’t want to get a motorcycle license. They just want to get on two wheels and have fun. Crank the throttle and have fun. And ain’t nothing wrong with that, man. I don’t blame them, but they’re missing out though, cuz motorcycles are absolutely awesome and amazing. Uh, I’m telling you, that’s number one to me, okay? I’m not saying that I’m totally turning it over to ebikes only. Um, I’m I’m trying to get you guys motivated to get motorcycles, this new generation. I’ve been trying. It’s hard. It’s a tough sale to them, man. Cuz we’re we’re in tough times right now. It’s so expensive to buy a motorcycle. And and like I said, this new generation’s really not keen on shifting gears. They don’t even sell manual transmission in cars any much anymore in cars, man. Here and there, but mostly they don’t really do it anymore. But I’m telling you guys that I I ask you, I beg of you to just try one. Try one. Go rent one. Try it. And don’t just knock on them, man, because they are fun. the e scooters. I got a couple of e scooters. Those are fun, man. Uh anything on two. To me, I love We all started on bicycles, guys. All of us. That’s what gave us our passion for and love of two wheels. It started with our bicycle when we were kids. That our bicycle was everything to us, man. Everything. And we graduated to motorcycles. And how can you hate on what we came from? We came from bicycles right here. I got one right here, man. Rode it in a long time. Bicycles. We came from bicycles, you know. And the beautiful thing about these ebikes is that if you run out of power, you got pedals here, man. Pedals are going to get you home. Uh, you know, a motorcycle you you run out of gas, you you know, you you gota you got to find a way to get you a toe or something. Get you a a way home. Walk it home. Ebike, you’re pedaling. You’re going home. It’s just like a normal day on a bicycle when the power goes out. Big deal. So, that’s one of the big reasons why I really love ebikes. One of the many reasons, man. Electric torque, not never getting stranded. the big fat tires, ride over, you could pretty much basically dual sport on it. Go ride it on trails in the woods. Uh ride it every I even rode it in a creek, man. Uh it’s good times, but I don’t know. Leave a comment below, guys. I want to hear what you guys have to say. I don’t know if you’ve seen that video or not, but I I want to know how share how you feel. Tell me, why do you hate ebikes? So, why do you clown on me about these ebikes, man? Um, and by the way, I got a new bike that I’m going to be revealing to you guys soon, so stay tuned for that. And, you know, this one’s going to be a fun one. Also, I just wanted to say there’s some land available in North Carolina in the mountains, and they got a sick deal on it. I’m going to check it out, guys. So, I’m I’m frantically preparing my van, getting it together, man. updating it, putting some new mods, updated the solar system, everything. So, I’m going to take you guys on the trip with me down there in my Bugout Moto van to look at the land, look at some prefab uh modern houses, some tiny homes that I’m I may put a tiny home or prefab home on there. They got some amazing prefab homes now. It’s not like the old ones now. These these ones are better than built built and stick homes. So, it’s going to be a fun trip. I’m all about alternative cheap living. And I think that’s where a lot of the uh this new generation is headed to because housing is so freaking expensive, man. You know, middle class, it’s it’s hard to afford a house these days, man. And I I feel you. And there you guys are looking for cheaper solutions. And I’m all about that as well, man. But make sure to stay tuned. I appreciate all you guys. Make sure to hit thumbs up, hit the subscribe button, hit that bell symbol so you get notified when my new videos released. But I release new videos every Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday at 11:30 a.m. Eastern Standard Time. Till next time.
