An Electric BMX Bike?

December 1, 2016

With the popularity of Electric Bikes or “eBikes” as some people like to call them, it was bound to start spreading into other styles of bicycles. We just spotted this video over on Can You Dig It of this electric BMX bike that a company called Life EV is making… And of course it turned out looking like a bike straight out of Wally World. Mag wheels, full aluminum frame, massive sprocket, railed seat, quick release seat post clamp, 1.95″ tires (which make sense if you’re trying to go fast). Hit play for a little example of this unit. Apparently it comes in two styles, one that goes 12 MPH and one that goes 20 MPH. No freecoaster on this one.

Hit play and get a behind the scenes look at what went into working on his new Monster Energy video that drops tomorrow! Get stoked, tomorrow is going to be a good day!

“I spent five days cruising (and shooting photos) around in the back of Dakota Roche’s truck while he and Calvin Kosovich stacked clips for his new video, “Bay Roam.” On the last day, I brought out the camera and proceeded to have a casual conversation about spots, the project, and more as we cruised through the cuts of SF in search of spots…

Look for Dak’s new video “Bay Roam” from Monster Energy to drop 12/1 at 9am PST!” – Ryan Fudger / Ride BMX

Here’s a video Woodward East released with a bunch of footage from camp, along with some insight into how he got into coffee and the coffee business. Hit play and take it all in! It’s pretty awesome seeing how stoked Ronnie is on where he is in life now.
