Mountain bikes,USA,usually have suspension in the head forks,seat post,mid frame.
In America we say "You get what you pay for."
I've been super keen on folding bikes since they allow me the versatility of commuting on public transportation should I need to go further! My dream bike is a Brompton! 😀
I am hoping the weather will still be nice enough in the first few weeks of December to do some riding along the Rhine near Bingen, when I am there.
your channel is just PERFECT in all aspects.
Just wanted to say good job on the SEO ladies! Anytime I have a question about life here y’all are always on the front page
On the Faster E-Bikes with the Insurance Plate you MUST wear a Helmet!
daamn ive been looking for a bike lately, thanks for this video!!!
Thank you for the video!
Can you please also mention if we can buy cycle on installments? As I'm a new student here and don't have that much money.
Da sollte euch da Stadler ja direkt eine Premie geben 😉
muss ich ihn mal fragen wenn ich ihn wieder mal sehe ..
Great video, but you didnt talk about bike costs :/
thanks guys 🙂
can you guys do a video of buying a car in Germany possibly e-cars .
Can I buy good cycle from abobe shop including accessories for 500 euro?
Your video appeared just at the right time! I have been thinking to start my cycling journey very soon and looking for a suitable bike for a while now. Do you recommend a trekking bike for a complete beginner who has never tried cycling before? And does it support an upright seating position? Which one will you prefer for a complete beginner, a trekking bike, or a comfort/dutch/city bike? Let me know if you have any recommendations. Thanks a lot!
I had one Trek mountain bike for 12 years and was the best bike I have ever had. I moved to Germany in December and left my bike there and my brother still uses it!
I'm considering buying a Cube now because it is a German brand (guess it's cheaper and easier to maintain, reach customer service etc.). I noticed that Jenn has a trek (couldn't see Yvonne's brand). Do you recommend buying a German brand, imported or whatever?
you didnt make mention of Bike Pumps. Thats very essential when your tyres go flat and u need move ASAP
Can you do a video on German libraries? Getting a library card, late fees, etc.?
Hey ladies, can I get the address of the Stadler you featured in the video?
you are together ? are you a relationship ? Are you in love?
Hey you two. Very educational video as always! <3 Do you have any recommendation for rain jackets that cover you from head to toe so that you are not even a little bit went when you bike in pouring rain? Thanks! Also I think a lot of bicyclists in Germany might benefit from a "biking (traffic) rules in Germany" video (apologies if you've already made a video on it).
Achja, der Store ist tatsächlich ganz interessant in Düsseldorf 😀
6:45 Haha… ich habe noch meinen "Mofa-Führerschein" von 1982 herumliegen, der würde wohl reichen… 😀
Thanks for the video….
I have a question, for an international student with no driver license, how do I go about having an ebike with over 250W motor??
First you visit a bicycle forum, find out what is important and what a good deal looks like, then you go to one of those local bicycle stores, preferably the big ones to get the right deal. 🙂
Hey, great video 🙂 may I suggest maybe making a video about e-scooters? I've been learning that having one in Germany is very particular, you need insurance (of course) and all. Love your channel 🙂
Thank you…!
Can me as a Nigerian get a bike??????
I love the way you two look at each other. It's like after all this time being together, you're still mesmerised by each other. Makes my gay heart very happy for you two 🥰❤
Wow you are discussing every bit of Germany that's completely amazing 😍😍😍😍
Very helpful video
Where do I wash my bi cycle ?
Your channel is great. Have answers to all the questions related to Germany. I don't need any other channel. This is the top 1
Hello girls! You are amazing and I really love your channel as you discuss every single detail!!
I have a concern about going to the store and ask them for help. I am afraid that they deceive me to get the most expensive bike or something as they find out I am no expert with the subject. So, would you recommend going to a store like Stadler or any bike store and act normal telling them that I have no idea what I should get? 😀 Would they be helpful and honest with me or should I do a heavy research so that I do not get deceived by the salesman in buying the most expensive one within my budget?
Thanks in advance!
One question, Can I register the 500W and 750W motoros on e bike that goes over 25kmh?
Mamm, I want to buy a bike from Canyon..but it's so Expensive (1,400$)..I am from India 🇮🇳 plzz…tell me how can I buy budget cycle…why cycle is so expensive…??
Have you done a video on Jobrad? I'm currently researching this topic since my company offers it.
That's crazy that the e bikes are limited to 25 kmph over there. I have a dutch e bike that has a bosch motor on it and its goes up to 32 kmph and its the slower class of e bike here.
I have a friend, "Richard, man", who lives in Reutlingen and always has top-end bicycles for sale cheap. He finds them, "finds them", at the train station.
👍 very. Good
