Welcome Adam! Really looking forward to seeing what you guys get up to in future – and the behind the desk format [of the weekly show] works so much better when there are two of you to banter and judge the bike-vault bikes etc. Onward!
Awesome job Adam!!!For us People that live where winters are cold and where removing the ebike battery for storage is a must in -30c…What are the manufacturers of ebikes with non removeable batterys thinking???
You’re all missing a trick by not going to Ainsa in Northern Spain. I’ve been there 7 times already this year. (I only live 2hrs away!)
so much for diversification … 😏
Great job Adam! Looks like good chemistry between You two. Looking forward to some good laughs.
Welcome e board, have fun
Welcome Adam !
I can show you the loam Adam 😉 yep I live in Squamish
Welcome, Adam! You seem to have some great experience, good perspectives, and a good dynamic with Steve.
@6:35I had a gary fisher bike from about 25 years ago that had "body geometry" on it
Oh brilliant, Adam looked after myself and my mates on a yt demo out of the mill a few months ago. His passion and knowledge is fantastic and you can tell talking to him that he’s genuinely passionate about bikes in general. Great guy
Welcome Adam! Off to great start man 🙂
A MX Decoys rider can only be a good guy. Welcome Adam 🎉
If you shut your eyes 👀 it sounds like chris lol 😂 no honest I hope he settles in very quickly look forward to future vids keep it up guys
In my short research, Hybridizer seems to be a Chinese company using some type of Korean flavor as differentiater for their marketing. These days parts are sourced world wide and can't really pinpoint the origin of a company but if their contact us page is anything to go by it is a Chinese phone number. And the owner's last name is definitely chinese. Second guy listed on their Kickstarter page as designer seems to be Korean but him posing as third party reviewer on their youtube channel and talking about their bike is also kind of questionable. 🤔 hmmm
Uploaded my first pic to you guys. Think I forgot some info haha. Anyways love the show from San Diego California.
welcome Adam 👍
Great chemistry guys
Happy to have you Adam. Nice beginning, keep it coming!
What happened to the Korean Ebike you mentioned at the beginning of the video?
Welcome Adam.
My question to you is: Will we see you also performing grazy stuff on bikes, steep climbs, long jumps and fast rides and so on?
Time will tell if he starts the appreciative nods and OTT hand and arm actions of your previous sidekick…. Oh no the hands are going already.
He’s not Chris though is he
Welcome to the channel and EMBN community Adam 😄
wow, he almost has the same voice, and as i'm half blind, i don't see the difference !
Adam is an absolute legend, at YT he was the guy you go to if you wanted to know anything about two wheels vehicles. He's a great edition to the EMBN team.
My bike is bolt on kit. Sickest bike I've ever riden. 2004 scott nitrous bafang mid drive
Good work Adam, amazing to see you on here looking so natural already.
Welcome Adam I’m loving my decoy, I’ll be posting constant requests to do features on them 💯👌
Wearing a hat indoors makes no sense!
Best of luck Adam, I met you at the Mill setting me up a Capra. Lovely bloke and has all the knowledge. 👊🏻
Welcome Adam! Great addition to EMBN!
FULL POWER…. ALL THE TIME !!!!!!!
Congrats, Adam! 🤟
We met only once at YT event, but from the first minute seeing you around it was obvious that you are a talented presenter and MTB-stoke ambassador.
Seems like even more people will be getting into e-bikes from now on 😁
Congrats on the new role Adam! Gutted you’ve left the Mill, was a pleasure!
I agree that may sound and feel strange to do a conversion from a analog XC bike to emtb, but it's possible and if are a DIY person and have the resources, meaning for example, using a 3D printer to make your own nice boxes to hide everything, pick a fantastic frame like my Cannondale RZ 120 with a Lefty (on the Bike Vault), I can tell you all that with a Bafang BBS02B 500W tweaking the original parameters, 12 speed SRAM drive train, it's the perfect combination have a smooth and powerful machine to get to places that I was not able to go before. And in the end It looks amazing. So, it's a Win-Win situation, spending a fraction of the price of a branded emtb and also having total knowledge and control of this machine.
You have a new subscriber, can't wait to see more content from Adam. What a great fit!
Good luck and congratulations on the new job nice to see a new presenter looking forward to more videos.
That Adam bloke is bloody handsome
Oh no! Now that i've got my first real problems with my Decoy the GUYin person left 😅
But beautiful to have you on this channel 🤙
Cant't wait to get more of your knowledges.
@Jonsy you're of course a LEGEND too. Keep shredding!
Welcome aboard adam.🤟
Good seeing you on the big screen, Adam. Can't wait for all the shenanigans you're getting into. Much love from Germany 😘
Welcome Adam! Have fun at new role! Looking forward new episodes!
Welcome Adam 👍🙂. Is Chris Smith still working for EMBN
Adam, what bike company did you work for while you lived in New Zealand.
Wellcome Adam!!🤙
