Is a $3500 ELECTRIC Dirt Bike better than a Gas Dirt Bike

so in the world of two wheels there's only two categories you've got bicycles for girls with little baskets little pink baskets on the front and then you have motorcycles for men with beards that eat meat well and then you also have roller two-wheeled rollerblades which that doesn't really count this is not a rollerblade through a series of tests we're gonna find which side the segway dirty bike is on and then challenge it with one of these bikes and if it loses the test then we send it back to hell from where it came i guess you have hand trucks i guess that that that's got two wheels too nah that doesn't get it's not a hand truck but if it wins the competition well you're gonna want to see that too so we got this segway a few weeks ago from amazon that came in a box and it claimed to have a range of 40 miles at a top speed of 31 miles per hour and what they did not tell us you need to download an app and put it on your phone to connect to the bike and then watch a safety video to unlock its full potential which it's like they're trying to keep me from hurting myself segway i already got a mom and she left years ago if you see her tell her i love her back to the bike and that 40 mile range was actually more like 12 miles and even with a generator charging the battery while i was riding it it still wasn't even close to 40 miles now the red bike also came in a box and i had to put this thing together which only took about a half an hour so the only thing we can do is race them three two one go but then we realized something anytime there are two motorcycles together they are gonna be racing but that's not the case with cyclists they don't compete by drag racing they compete in other ways how much yours cost 1500 bucks how much did yours cost 3 500 bucks so we decided to do another competition the average american commute is 14 miles so we did a 14 mile race first one who gets there wins but i couldn't help but take some [Music] detours [Music] david [Music] [Music] hey and to be honest with you that was the only cycling thing that i was willing to do i was not gonna roll up one of my pant legs grow a mustache wear flannel wear a stupid little beanie on my head drink craft beer live in an abandoned warehouse make my own soap own a small dog or live in portland you see the thing is there's a problem because the legal definition of a bicycle is this a human-powered vehicle with two wheels in tandem designed to transport by act of pedaling one or more persons blah blah blah for it to be a bicycle it's got to have pedals this does not have pedals it must be a dirt bike let's compare it with a dirt bike we chose this awesome little fifteen hundred dollar pit bike so normally craig would be here testing this motorcycle with me but craig got in a motorcycle accident and he has kind of put up for a little bit so i brought my um texas cousin well hey y'all thanks for having me here i'm sorry to hear about your friend your friend craig i hope he gets better real soon well it's real nice i'm sure craig would really appreciate that you know what they say there's only two types of riders out there and i'll tell you what i met craig before and he ain't no steer if you know what i mean well that's kind of that's kind of rude well this is texas this is actually pennsylvania let's just ride man let's just go for a ride i'm gonna whip y'all let's go race let's do it so sean's texas cousin won the drag race with the gasoline-powered motorcycle let's see what happens at the hill climb hey sean i just want to say that uh you know whatever happens today win or lose my mom had told me that your papa was adopted so you're not really part of the family why would you say it to me right now [Music] well to be honest with you i'm from texas and we don't really have hills in texas [Music] so we decided to take this challenge to the woods with a good old-fashioned time trial through the woods [Applause] [Music] [Music] so this it was a pretty horrible bicycle a pretty horrible dirt bike but an awesome phone charger doing a great job of charging my phone when you try to put it into those individual categories it just doesn't fit but whatever i was doing with it i had a blast doing so while i was able to spend some time on this bike i realized that all the things i didn't like about it had nothing to do with the bike but how segway rolled the bike out paying people for positive reviews without ever letting them ride it over exaggerating the range on the bike making me download the app to unlock all the full features of it and then charging me 500 more by selling it on amazon then they sell it for on their own website so in order for us to not throw out the baby with the bathwater we gotta get rid of the name segway this is the gary [Music] and the reason this did so poorly when it competed with the e-bike and the dirt bike was because it was neither of those things it's a gary and it should be judged as a gary so do you guys remember this bike the fan the stupid the fast and furious electric bike we bought on amazon for like nine thousand dollars you've seen the video go back to that video it's great video but this bike sucked because it didn't know what it was it was an electric bike it's got a decepticon sticker on the side it says end fast furious on the other side it says furious and fast it just doesn't know what it is and it's trying to be something that it's not and when reality this is actually a electric scooter although it has not ran since the second day we got it and that's why gary is different it requires its own category that's why we're gonna and we're gonna call that category the gary bike and as you can see even though i didn't win those all these obstacles i had a blast driving it it was light and technical i could really whip it around and even though i couldn't make it up that hill climb i was able to do what no other motorcycle could do i was able to push it up the hill climb the gary bike was able to get me almost anywhere and it was just plain easy and almost anyone could ride it and unlike the fierce rivalry between the bicycles and the motorcycles the gary is a gateway bike a gateway to fun a gateway to the next step of motorcycles and a gateway to drugs probably not drugs don't do any drugs and in true gary bike fashion there's only one thing to do with this thing let's modify it if you guys remember in the last video a question that i had was can you just put a bigger battery in this thing to make it faster and give it a longer range well i tracked one down i got a bigger battery it's about a thousand bucks it's kind of expensive but we're gonna throw it in here and we're gonna see if we can modify this thing to make it better than it ever was new top speed 41 miles an hour bam max 41 miles an hour so i think this thing has a lot of potential you can see what other modifications we can do make this thing awesome subscribe we'll see you guys next time so while we were finishing up editing this video and hey check it out look who's back kind of back show me your bag my pain bag yeah we got a package check it out let's see what it could be oh range extender so apparently this gets strapped onto the top somehow you plug this in this should get this thing like 55 mile range we'll check that in the next video see you guys later
