Velotric Nomad 1 and Aventon Aventure hit a MTB trail.
I test out my Velotric Nomad 1 Fat Tire E-bike on a Mountain Bike (MTB) Trail for the first time. I brought a buddy along who had never ridden an e-bike or an MTB trail before, and it didn’t go so well for him.
Video Summary
Introducing the trail and the bikes
- The video starts with the narrator introducing the video and mentioning that it is Thanksgiving morning.
- The narrator is joined by a friend, Greg Voland, who is a high-end realtor in Chicago.
- They are going to test the new Velotrec Nomad 1 and the narrator’s Aventon Aventure on the Soldiers Memorial Field mountain bike trail.
- Greg has never been on an e-bike or ridden on a mountain bike trail before.
“I brought him out here to Soldiers Memorial Field mountain bike trail because it’s a fun trail… He’s never ridden on a mountain bike trail…I know that it’ll do well for him.”
Initial experience on the trail
- Greg has his first fall 10 seconds into the trail ride and breaks the camera mounts.
- They encounter challenging parts of the trail where they have to navigate through trees and over bumps.
- The narrator falls and gets some blood on his pants.
“I had my first fall about 10 seconds in.” “It tore right through there… it worked exactly how I thought it would.”
Assessing the damage and complications
- The narrator evaluates the damage to both bikes after the trail ride.
- The narrator’s Aventon Aventure has a bent fender.
- The camera on the Velotrec Nomad 1 got damaged due to crashes.
- The narrator’s drone also hit a branch and cracked.
“I don’t know if I can get a new one… I like this bike without the fenders.” “You’re only going to get like two drone shots in this video because, well, I crashed it again.”
Greg’s overall experience and conclusion
- Greg reflects on his overall experience, acknowledging that it was a lot of firsts for him.
- After understanding how to use the power assist and handle the technical parts of the trail, Greg found it to be a fun experience.
- He appreciated the invite and would do it again.
“I will say though…once I understood how to finesse the power assist… it really is a fun tool…it was a lot of fun…I would do it again for sure.”
