Bike issues on the trail

• The narrator is at Soldiers Memorial mountain bike trail for a second round with the Manidae bike after fixing it following previous power issues.
• The narrator chooses this trail because they are familiar with it and can quickly get home if there’s another problem.
• The narrator straps up and prepares to test the bike on the trails.

“I figured I’d bring it out to this Trail because I’m familiar with this Trail so if I do end up getting stuck and out in the middle of nowhere well at least I’ll know a quick way on how to get home”

Starting the trail with power issues

• The narrator starts off on the Advan Trail but experiences power issues with the bike.
• The battery keeps popping out and losing power, indicating a problem with the battery connector.

“uhoh and we just lost power again what the hell make sure the battery’s in there all the way all right might have just just had the battery not in there all the way”

Continuation of power issues

• The narrator continues to experience power issues with the bike.
• The battery keeps popping out even after being secured correctly.

“battery why does the battery keep popping out all right I just slammed the battery in is it me or is there something wrong with this uh battery connector let’s see if it all right let’s go let’s try it again”

Conclusion on the bike’s ability to handle the trail

• The narrator expresses frustration and disappointment with the Manidae bike and concludes that it is not suitable for off-road use.
• They mention that people use velcro straps to keep the battery in place, but they believe a bike marketed as off-road should not require such modifications.

“I’m kind of done with with this bike this thing has been nothing but problems I don’t think I’ve had any other bike that I’ve had more issues with than this one right here… no I should not have to do that to be able to ride a bike like this right I know people put velcro straps on their stuff no I’m not doing it which tells me that this bike can’t handle this Trail so that’s fail number two for the Manidae and we’re done with this puppy”

Recap of bike issues and lack of recommendation

• The narrator recaps the various issues they have faced with the Manidae bike, including fork seizing up, controller failure, and battery problems.
• They emphasize that they cannot recommend the bike for off-road use due to the constant issues.

“I can’t recommend this bike if you want to take it Offroad… anytime you feel like you have to put a velcro strap around your battery to keep it from coming out well you know they they kind of Market this thing as an off-road bike but it’s not very off-road if your battery keeps coming out”
