Area 13 Ebikes - The Podcast

Hey Everybody! Welcome back to another Bolton Ebikes Podcast today. I'm going to share with you some very exciting news. I have something new coming out and no, it's not a bike, but it's a brand new website and a brand new service related to ebikes. So stick around, stay tuned. 

This is the Bolton Ebikes Podcast.

In today’s episode you’ll learn more about: 

• What is the new website and service that we are unrolling and how can you be one of the founding members of it. 
• How will it benefit you if you’re looking for your perfect ebike. 
• How you can sell your ebike or buy an ebike easily and how we’re going to help you do it!
• How to use EbikeSearch and how this can help you to also learn more about the industry. 
• The benefits of using our new site over others. 
• How you can get an exclusive invitation to be one of the first to sell or buy on the site. 
• Are there fees associated with purchasing a bike like on other sites? 
• What can you expect as a seller as far as fees to sell your ebike?
• How to narrow down your search and what categories to expect. 

Thanks again for listening! I'm Kyle, the owner of Bolton Ebikes, and I'm not just trying to sell you a new electric bike, although we're happy to help you with that, If we have something that fits your needs, but I just want to help you learn all about electric bikes. That's the whole point of this podcast. And you’ll get to learn more in the blog area that's going to be on ebike search.com

I think that's going to be a great new resource of even more information. And that's probably something that we'll pull over to the BoltonEbikes.com website as well. So you'll have that in multiple places. If you haven't left me a review, please do. I appreciate those. I try to read every single one, whatever podcasting platform you're using.

Just go on there and leave a review. I want this to be the number one electric bike podcast in the world. If we can make that happen, I need your help to do that. Uh, so leave a review. Share with your friends. And again, e bike search dot com is the new place to go for used electric bikes. 

See you next week!

Hey Everybody! Welcome back to another episode of the Bolton Ebikes Podcast. We've had more guests lately, which is something I'm excited about is meeting other people in the bike industry, talking to people. A lot of times it seems like I'm talking to somebody new. That's just starting something.

You know, whether it's a website or a blog or a YouTube channel. But occasionally we come across somebody who's actually been in the ebike space much longer than we have. So today is one of those days. I've got Jim Turner, the president and founder of OptiBike with us. Once again, you're listening to the Bolton Ebikes Podcast.

In today’s episode you’ll learn more about:

• How Jim’s journey started in 1996 with ebikes, when you were comparing 24 volt systems, lead acid batteries, brushed motors. And how his background as an engineer fueled his passion for figuring things out with ebikes. 
• The health benefits Jim has found that ebikes bring to everyone and why he is so passionate about ebikes. 
• How he came up with OptiBike and why it is different. 
• How Jim’s work has helped so many people get back in shape and have fun doing it. 
• How his education and experience helped fuel a series of redesigns before he got the result he was looking for. 
• And so much more! 

Thank you to everybody listening to this podcast and being here with Jim, from OptiBike.

Of course, if you want to go check out those bikes and see what are they like and see some of these awesome things we're talking about. Opti bike dot com. Those are available there.

Hey Everybody! Welcome back to another episode of the Bolton Ebikes Podcast, a place where you can learn all about electric bicycles, parts, pieces, components, brands, whatever you want to learn about Ebikes. 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.

Thanks again, everybody for listening to the Bolton Ebikes Podcast. If you're not on our newsletter for the podcast emails that go out every week to remind you about new episodes. So make sure to do that. Go to e bike podcast dot com. Once again, that is e bike podcast dot com. You can sign up for our newsletter and get basically just a simple email that says, Hey, here's what our latest episode is about and where you can go listen to it. 

And of course, we're on all of these standard podcasting platforms on Android, Apple, and whatever sort of device you might have for listening to podcasts. 

Thank you for listening. And I will talk to you on another Tuesday.

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!

Submit the contact information and stories about those ebike adventures to the team at [email protected] and let us know you want to be on the show!

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. That's where you can sign up for the email list. We send out an email once a week, every Tuesday, when new episodes come out.

So you know what the topic is, and if it's something you want to check out, That domain is e bike podcast dot com. We wanted something nice and easy to remember. Now, of course, the second thing I mentioned about the membership, if you want to know more about that, you do have to go to the Bolton Ebikes, YouTube Channel.

And of course, if you're ready for an electric bike, you know where to go. Bolton ebikes.com. Thank you so much for listening. Chat with you next Tuesday!

Hey Everybody! Welcome back to another episode of the Bolton Ebikes Podcast. This past week before I recorded this episode, I released a video that is a little bit different.

It was still electric and it was still a lot of fun. So I am happy to say that I not only have a guest, but the owner of a company called Glide Cruisers USA, the founder, the designer, the creator is on here with me today.

• What is The Glide Cycle and who created it?
• What sparked the idea for The Glide Cycle and what he did to bring his ideas to fruition. 
• What was surprising about this vehicle and why you don’t really have to worry that much when going over bumps.

Hey Everybody! Welcome back to another episode of the Bolton Ebikes Podcast. I'm going to talk about something I did Oh, about six years ago and whether or not it was a good idea. And if I would repeat doing that again today. That is buying an electric bike from a crowdfunding campaign. So if you want to hear about the latest ebike that is on Indiegogo right now, stay tuned.

Is it a good deal? Should you buy one? Should you avoid it at all costs? Stick around to get those answers and more.

This is The Bolton Ebikes Podcast. 

In today’s episode you’ll learn more about: 

• What it’s like buying an electric bike from a crowdfunding campaign and what my experience was like. 
• What crowdfunding is and how it can work and what to expect if it doesn’t. 
• Details on my previous experience and what others experience
• What can happen if an item is pushed through to production too quickly. 
• What additional items could be offered as the crowdfunding campaign goes on - as the makers want to sweeten the deal due to the wait. 
• Why it’s important to research the bike you’re looking for, ask questions, and know what you’re getting for your money. 
• Why when we release bikes - we release them in small quantities and why it’s important to not scale too quickly. 
• More details on the bike that I am sharing more information about and how you can get one at a great price. Also, why I do personally know this is a campaign that is worth it. 
• And so much more!
  
  

Thanks again, for listening to the Bolton Ebikes Podcast. I hope that I can bring some value to you with every single episode that we do here.

If you learn something, then make sure to give me a nice five-star review. I do appreciate those. I try and read each and every one. I appreciate everybody who have been listening to this podcast from the beginning, because I know some of you have, and if you haven't, no worries.
