How does this compare to the steepest roads around you?
not as steep as my trail to school
The "No Climbing" sign gets a new meaning 😀
Try the ‘ Old Bwlch ‘ outside Ruthin. The hairpin was reputed to be 1 in 3/1/2 . I think the spelling is correct. I haven’t ridden up it since I was 16yrs old.
The road to our other house is like this. I just got my bike and it's a blessing to downhill but hell for uphill, what I do is runup in fast gear then slowly changed to slow before hitting the climb so I still have the force
And both using the wrong bike , heavy as fuck aero
The record was overturned as it was incorrectly measured and has been given back to New Zealand's Baldwin St in Dunedin.

ummm..have they been to my home country, Nepal?
Using an e-bike is cheating.

36°, that's quite some percent (slightly more than 36)
2:14 pretty sure that that's 36 degress, which, from high school maths, is more than 50%.
E-bike ‘taking the record’ no way.
Steepest street in Denmark:

There is a road the goes up Monte Grappa in Italy, from the North East side from memory. It’s steeper than this pimple. So steep you cannot get traction in dry conditions.
White Oak Rd. Charleston, West Virginia, USA
*second steepest
Now go down it
The paso florentino road in Mexico has a grade of 70%…
That’s it, the road I struggle to walk up in my dreams lmaooooo.
2:10 Measuring the steepness on the inside of a bend is cheating.
I want to ride up hills .. ugh
I love the bicycle
It you want steep roads, come to indiana! (Southern Indiana
I've been there twice
50% https://youtu.be/eOlEV_TTUPs?t=381
why are u not using an uphill bike like wide tiers and stuff
Awful and annoying editing.
Couldn't have used a worse wheelset to climb on!😂
Was a little apprehensive when buying this with the few negative reviews on here, but this was exactly the kind of bike I was looking for. https://www.youtube.com/post/Ugkxn_jUDSlprMIeubd9rHdEAnv59nKfjcKv I plan to ride it on paved roadways and trails, and wanted a "Grocery Getter" so to speak. After receiving it (without any damage), I had it out of the box, and fully assembled in about 30 minutes. I did not have to look at the manual, and I'm glad because I did look at it after I got it together, and it looks like it's a manual for several different styles. I did have to adjust the breaks and gear shifters, but that's been my experience with every bike I've owned. There was one review in particular that made me nervous, saying it was not meant for someone 6'4", it was too short. Well I'm 6'5" (230lbs) with a 36" inseam, and can tell you this bike fits perfectly, granted the seat is in it's highest safe position. I've only had it for 3 days so far, and if things change I will update my review, but I put 26 miles on it so far, and it rides like a dream. Very comfortable seating position. The front suspension is good for the occasional rock or bump you hit on asphalt, but this bike is not made to be taken off road, and I'm OK with that. I was particularly happy to see the wheels were trued perfectly. I was expecting to have to take them in and have them trued at a local bike shop, as I've had to do with all my past bike purchases, but in this case they were already in great shape. For the money, this is an awesome bike.
36%??? 😆 🤣 😂
36 degree, you idiots!
