Hey everybody! Welcome back. It's another episode of the Bolton Ebikes Podcast, and I get to talk about another electric bike company today. Sometimes I have a guest today is just solo. Just me, just you and a company called Snapcycle. This is The Bolton Ebikes podcast. I'm Kyle Chittock, your host and the owner of Bolton Ebikes. And let's jump right into an episode about a brand new bike company, Snapcycle.  In today’s episode you’ll learn more about: Does it have the power they claim? How does it actually ride?  What about the value for the money, is it worth it? What is the investment for The Snapcycle? What is the warranty and shipping costs? Who is this bike best for as far as riding style and height range? What is the battery range? What are the components that were surprising on The Snapcycle?  Ease of setup for The Snapcycle after unboxing. And so much more!   And I still have the R1 that I used in the review, and I haven't decided what I'm going to do with that bike yet, because Snapcycle was kind enough to provide not one but, two ebikes for free. One of them is here at the shop. That's what I'm using for the review. There's a chance I might put that up on ebike search.com, which if you don't know, is our buy and sell website for used electric bikes. Anybody can post their bike. Anybody can hop on the website and check out used ebikes for sale in their area. Once again, that's e bike search dot com. Now the second bike they didn't send to me because that is going to one of you. So whoever is going to win the bike, They're going to get it shipped direct from Snapcycle brand new to you. It’s never touched the dirt at Bolton Ebikes for a review. It’s a hundred percent brand new bike is what you're going to win. So make sure to go check out the show notes for this podcast episode. Follow those links. Enter to win a free bike because who doesn't love a free electric bike. Thanks again to Snapcycle for providing the bikes for this podcast episode and for the live ebike review. I really do appreciate it and I wish you guys the best of luck and the best success with your bikes. They look great. I really love the style and the frame design. And I can't wait to see what happens from here.  Thank you for listening to the Bolton Ebikes Podcast. As always, if you're not on an email list, go to E b ike podcast dot com and sign up.

Bolton Ebikes - The Podcast

Snapcycle Review | EP 80

Hey, Everybody! Welcome back to, you guessed it. Another episode of the Bolton Ebikes Podcast. I appreciate you for coming back and listening to learn more about ebikes today. I want to talk a little bit about accessories. That might be a little weird, at least in my opinion, on a standard bike, but on an ebike it makes a whole lot of sense.  In today’s episode you’ll learn more about:  Why hand signals may not work when riding your ebike with traffic or other vehicles around you. The ebike accessories we recommend to ensure you have a safer riding experience. How easy it can be to add on things like a horn or turn signal lights to your ebike and why it’s not necessary to overcomplicate it or overspend.  Where you can get Bolton Ebikes recommendations for some small but effective items like a horn and lights.  What to look for when getting your own horn, bell, and/or lights.  Thanks again for listening to the Bolton eBikes podcast, I do want to throw a little plug out for e bike search dot com. That's our new buy and sell marketplace for used electric bikes. It was just launched recently, about a month ago and it's growing quickly. It seems like more bikes are being added every single day. So we’re really happy about that. I'm happy to see that people are using it to list their bikes for sale or to purchase bikes. Things are coming and going. So once again, that's, ebike search dot com. It’s great if you happen to be either looking for something used. Or you're looking for a new bike and you want to sell one you already have. When it comes to new bikes, don't forget, of course, to check out Bolton Ebikes dot com. Hopefully we always have a good solution for you. We're working hard to get production sped up on all bike models. We finally have a ridiculous number of shipping containers showing up over the next month, it's going to be just crazy, hectic, just one after another. So congratulations to any customers who have been waiting for the past several months to get their bike. You're going to be getting shipping notifications very soon. And I thank you for your patience. Once again, I'm Kyle, the owner of Bolton Ebikes, and you're listening to the Bolton Ebikes Podcast.

Ebike Accessories | EP 79

Hey Everybody! Welcome back to another episode from The Bolton Ebikes Podcast. I'm glad to have you here. I'm also always, always excited to have guests on the show. And today we've got Aaron Powell from a company called Bunch Bikes. They do something quite a bit different and unique compared to probably a lot of the bikes that I've talked about or that, you know, some of my audience and usual customers are familiar with, but it is a bike that we've been kind of researching and have recently talked to other people about.  So I'm really excited to hear from Aaron Powell, again, The Founder of Bunch Bikes. I'm Kyle, The Owner of Bolton Ebikes, and you're listening to The Bolton Ebikes Podcast. In today’s episode you’ll learn more about:  What are Bunch Bikes and how are they are changing the way people are getting around with their family, running errands, and getting around more efficiently. Why The Bunch Bike is kind of the SUV or minivan replacement of the ebike world. How to easily store these ebikes and ways this style can accommodate your needs as a family.  Why having this type of bike is fantastic if you are looking to take the kids to the park for the afternoon or on a trip where they may not want to ride their own bikes back.  What is coming next for Bunch Bikes and how you can convert any bike you have in about 10 minutes.  What show was Bunch Bikes on that led to more success in their company to share their mission with the world.  Thank you once again for listening to the Bolton Ebikes Podcast.

Enjoy The Ride with Bunch Ebikes Founder Aaron Powell | EP 78

Hello everybody! Welcome back to another episode of the Bolton Ebikes Podcast. I'm your host, Kyle Chittock, owner of Bolton Ebikes and I’m here to educate you on something related to electric bicycles. On today’s episode, I’m sharing more about not just EbikeSearch.Com, but also how you can list there and get the most amount of money possible when you are trying to sell your used electric bike.  If you are listening to this podcast episode, that means we have finally, formally launched ebike search dot com. Recently, I did an episode about why we started it. Basically it's a buy and sell website dedicated to electric bikes. If you didn't listen to that already, go check that out for more information. You’ll learn more about behind the scenes, why I thought we needed it and why I didn't think the existing platforms were a good fit for selling electric bikes.  So now that we have this out and open to the public, it's time to educate people on how to get the most money for their electric bike.  In today’s episode you’ll learn more about:  My top 5 tips for selling your used ebike on Ebikesearch.com  Why Ebike Search is the place to sell your ebike or buy an ebike and why it’s different than other selling sites. What to be cautious of when buying a used ebike online. How a video might be able to set your listing on ebikesearch.com apart from all the others.  Why listing the specs on the ebike and dimensions are important to a buyer. Leaving those out can break your sale.  Thank you for listening to another episode of the Bolton Ebikes Podcast. So if you have an ebike you want to sell, or you know someone who does - set up a free account at ebikesearch.com and invite them! It’s a great way to make some extra cash and help someone find their perfect ebike too. If you have someone in mind that is looking for an electric bike - tell them to navigate to Ebike Search Dot Com  There are ebikes being added daily and they are selling just as soon as they are listed in some cases. This is THE BEST Online Marketplace for buying and selling ebikes ever and we can’t wait for you to join us!  If you're new, just a reminder episodes do come out every single Tuesday. We also have videos that come out on the Bolton Ebikes YouTube Channel every Thursday. And if you want to know more about either of those, you can always go to our website, Bolton ebikes dot com.

Selling Your Ebike Easily | EP 77

Hey everybody! Welcome back to another episode of the Bolton Ebikes Podcast. It's always exciting to have guests on the show. And today I have David from Tucson, Arizona. He has a very unique bike, something that I'm familiar with. I think they're really cool, very practical. Something possibly some of you actually haven't heard of. These bikes are probably more common in Europe than in the US. I hope that changes one day. I think David will give us some more insight on that. So once again, you're listening to the Bolton Ebikes Podcast and we're here with our guest today, David from Tucson, Arizona.   In today’s episode you’ll learn more about:  How David uses his ebike to transport his family around easily.  What he learned living in the UK with a growing family related to getting around.  Why he feels riding an ebike is better than using a car. The bike friendly hotspots he recommends when exploring Tucson. Yes, you will hear about The Loop!  David shares his ideas for making bikes more accessible and what cities can do to accommodate more bike riding vs driving a car. The benefits he has found riding an ebike for his health and his pocketbook.  The health benefits of riding an electric bike and how that PAS helps him get around when needed.  David answers Kyle’s question about what will change someone’s mindset to go from a car to an ebike. Thanks again for listening to another episode of the Bolton Ebikes Podcast.  If anybody is in Tucson, Arizona, I guess watch out for The Bakfiets out there, which if you don't know what that is, it's a giant wooden box in front of a bicycle. You can't miss it. It’s bigger than a normal bicycle. Say hi to David If you happen to see him! I wouldn't be surprised if we have s bunch of Bolton Ebikes customers in the Tucson, Arizona. So if somebody stops you, hopefully they heard you on the podcast or something who knows. We'll see what happens. Thank you everybody for listening to another episode of the Bolton Ebikes Podcast. If you're new, just a reminder episodes do come out every single Tuesday. We also have videos that come out on the Bolton Ebikes YouTube Channel every Thursday.

Ebiking for Families with David Armet | EP 76

Hey Everybody! Welcome back to another episode of the Bolton Ebikes Podcast. I'm Kyle Chittock, your host of Bolton Ebikes Podcast and of course, the owner of Bolton Ebikes. One common question I get is people wanting to know if they can add a second battery to their ebikes. So if you want to know all about parallel batteries, how to connect a second battery to your bike, and what does that mean, then this is the place to be.  This is the Bolton Ebikes Podcast. In today’s episode you’ll learn more about:  How can you get more range with your ebike and is it possible to mount a second battery on your ebike in parallel? What does a parallel battery connector do? How does that parallel connector work and where can you get one? Kyle breaks down the inside info into batteries and how they work on their own and together. When batteries that are equal capacity, equal voltage and in parallel, not in series - how does that affect the range and performance? How to avoid unsafe conditions with using two batteries.  Why it’s a bad idea to wire something yourself if you don’t know what you’re doing, as it can cause batteries to explode and/or catch fire.  Thanks again for listening to another episode of the Bolton Ebikes Podcast.  I appreciate you for listening and being here again. I want to remind you about our new website! Ebikesearch.com. If you haven't signed up already during these initial stages, it is. Only. So you got to go to invite dot ebike search dot com to sign up. We'll send you a special code and then you can see the bikes we have listed online.

So if you happen to hop on randomly and you see a bike listed for $1 from Bolton Ebikes, buy it because that is not a joke. That is real. We are going to use that as a method to give away some of the bikes we are reviewing over the next month or two. Once again, do you want to sign up to that?

I hope it's something that I can cover right here. So if that's something you want to know about, you are in the right place. Now for those that don't know, there is something special I've been doing with these podcasts, so you can get early access to them. I will get back to that in just a moment. My name is Kyle Chittock. I'm the owner of Bolton Ebikes, and you are listening to the Bolton Ebikes Podcast.  In today’s episode you’ll learn more about:  How to not have that clunking sound when shifting through gears How gearing works on a mid-drive and how to get the most torque. When coming up a hill, when should you shift? How to get more range from your mid-drive ebike. Why pushing the bike too hard can make it struggle, not perform better. Why there isn’t one gear that is best for hills and the factors that can affect climbing capabilities.  The benefits of the shift sensor and why that provides a smoother riding experience. What the brake switch does and how that works on these ebikes.  How to make your mid-drive bike last for years to come.  If you have a mid-drive or if you are waiting on one or you're buying one, just get familiar with your bike. I think that's one of the most important things to take out of this. Know what all of the components do. If you do that, you're going to have a better experience overall.

How To Use A Mid Drive | EP 69

Hey Everybody! Welcome back to another episode of the Bolton Ebikes Podcast. Excited to have a guest on the show today. It's been a little harder to get guests. I feel like everybody's trapped in doors, but, uh, who knows for some reason that makes a difference. Anyway, besides that. I always love sharing information about ebikes and sometimes we get to learn specifics about motors or breaks or batteries or something else. And sometimes we get to learn from someone else about their experience with ebikes, what they love about them. So excited to have Dan on the show today. He started his own YouTube Channel and is just having fun, He’s the Grey Bearded Ebiker. So, if you want to hear all about his story and what he's doing on his ebike, then stick around once again, I’m Kyle and this is the Bolton Ebikes Podcast. In today’s episode you’ll learn more about:  Where he likes to ride his ebike and how having an ebike has helped him get out there and get more exercise.  How he got started in cycling and how his son, who rode for The US Olympic Team, inspired him to keep riding. What he shares on his YouTube Channel and how he takes you along with him.  Where he is able to take his bike that others may not be able to take their cars - to simply enjoy his retirement.  How the different terrain experiences in San Diego have added to his experience and his increasing exercise levels. Why he feels that riding an ebike helps him alleviate stress. And so much more!  Thanks again for listening to the Bolton Ebikes Podcast, a podcast, all about ebikes that comes up every single Tuesday. I appreciate all of you for listening.

Get Your Exercise with Dan Bronk | EP 68

Hey, Everybody. Welcome back to the Bolton Ebikes Podcast, A place where you can learn about electric bikes. Every Tuesday, I release a new episode and it's always something about electric bikes, guaranteed. Absolutely nothing else is talked about in this podcast. Sometimes I have guests from other ebike companies on the show. I don't have one today, but I saw a comment online from someone that I wanted to address and it was about ebike charging rates. So if you want to learn about ebike charge rates, how fast can you charge an ebike? Why do they take so long to charge? Or why are they relatively quick to charge? How should you charge them? If you want to know answers to those things, then stick around once again. I'm Kyle, Chittock, the owner of Bolton Ebikes, and this is the Bolton Ebikes Podcast. In today’s episode you’ll learn more about:  How fast can you charge an ebike? How should you care for your battery? Why do ebike batteries take so long to charge?  The science behind batteries and charge cycles and why unrealistic charge cycle claims may need to be investigated further.  Kyle shares specific examples of batteries and the charging rate information behind the performance outcome most are striving for.  What is a C rate and how does that impact your battery charge rate.  What is next within the EV market when it comes to the potential of these batteries and where are people taking it? Now, before I wrap up this podcast episode, there's something really important I want to share. If you are listening to this podcast recorded on a usual Tuesday, I do record these ahead of time and release later. Release date that is usually a week or sometimes two, three weeks, maybe even a month ahead of schedule. Now, if you are one of the members of the Bolton Labs community, that's the nickname we give to our membership community on YouTube. That's nine 99 cents a month. You can actually get access to some of these podcast episodes earlier. That's something we're just kinda starting out kind of beta testing if you will. So it's not going to be every episode, but I'm gonna try and do as many as we can, but I've actually been doing these videos live for the members as an example, they are watching me right now live on YouTube.  And as you know, sometimes I reveal new products or new things that we are working on in some of these podcast episodes. So that's just another way to get ahead of the game and know what's coming before everyone else. And I will try to leave some time at the end of these podcast episodes that are running live to even answer some questions live. Right now I've got a few people that are chatting live on the YouTube channel as this is being recorded, So they can ask questions. The more questions I can answer for you guys, the better.  Thank you so much for listening to the Bolton Ebikes Podcast. If you're new, make sure to go to e bike podcast dot com.
