These eBikes are REALLY changing people’s lives Propel 2022-10-16 | When I first started selling eBikes, people would always tell me that electric bikes are only for people with disabilities. I never understood this. Now that eBikes are more widely used by everybody, people seem to not be discussing the ways they can help people who need them as much. I just wanted to create this video to share some information that I’ve learned and seen over the years. We’re going to be going over a bunch of the technology in the electric bike space that is helping people get back out and get around more easily.

Another Biking Experiment Gone Wrong Propel 2022-05-20 | As some of you know we have been experimenting with different camera setups to capture and share what it's like to ride a bike on a deeper level. This experiment has had some challenges but I think it's still worth sharing. I hope you'll agree.I met up with some new friends in Jersey City, NJ for a ride. This was August 2021, some things have changed since then, but it was a really good time. I think it's important to remember that biking isn't for only a select few or a special group. It can and should be for everyone. Bike communities are growing around the country and the world, and they give us a greater opportunity to share and connect with others.Timecodes:0:00 Intro sequence 0:15 eBike filming camera set up 1:10 Why does New York hate New Jersey?1:50 New Jersey PATH train eBike ban2:30 Navigating New York City’s streets on ebike3:00 Jersey City bike infrastructure3:54 Bike JC Jersey City 4:50 Biking is for everybody5:40 Building more pedestrian plazas 6:30 importance of connecting with people on bicycles 7:30 Documenting living without a car in urban environments 8:30 Connecting with others on bikes 10:05 View of NYC from Jersey City 10:45 Getting children to ride bikes 12:00 Connecting to more people because of camera set up 12:45 Bikes will save the world 13:45 Trying to get back to Brooklyn at night from NJ14:55 eBikes not allowed on NJ PATH train 15:30 PATH train inaccessible to bikes16:15 eBike stuck in an elevator 17:30 Taking eBIke up escalator18:15 Closing thoughts Sync ID:MB01RK3OXO2DXEJMB01DRSSLUZFXYOMB015OPWP6HNMLWMB01EZPR8BQWD2UMB01ARU6Q8CDZ5Z

Biking in Amsterdam is Intimidating Propel 2021-12-29 | #amsterdam #bikelanes #urbandesign Biking can be a little intimidating in Amsterdam, but overall it’s pretty safe and loads of fun.

We started out at the Ride Out Bike Shop https://rideout.amsterdam on the south side of the city, rode through Vondel Park and through the city center. Ultimately we ended up on the north side of the city and had a great dinner at Hotel de Goudfazant.
