Hey folks this is Peter from Bikes and Life. Now I'm
here in beautiful Manhattan, my hometown,
show you the difference between two
bikes that I've come to really love this
year we have the fair day Porter over
here and the fair day Porter ass over
here so these two bucks both operate in
running the same way they've got an
electric motor in the front wheel the
battery is here in the down to and to
turn it on and off you have one button
to turn it on a charge port and you just
flipped the switch for power lines down
no power when it's up to these devices
are very similar in the way they give
you a comfortable relaxed good-looking
and discreet electric bike ride but how
do you know which one you want to get
basically the difference here is the
porter s has a little bit less fancy
features it has a change your eyes and
said of the belt drive belt chime is
just a little bit clearer quite a
low-maintenance reporter s has cable
actuated disc brakes which are very
strong but they actually have an inner
cable which can wear down so you know
again versus a hydraulic disc brakes on
the porter the oil reservoir in there
does not need maintenance it doesn't
need to be replaced eventually but as
you can see it's totally sealed you're
not going to leak anything and that
makes it very clean very looming in San
actually adjusts itself as it wears
that's pretty darn cool I always like
hydraulic disc brakes finally got a bike
with them is here last thing is going to
be the internal
on the 30 Porter you have this twist
shifter and where you just twist your
wrists to shift the gears from low to
high and you have five speeds compared
to on the very day Porter you have a
trigger shifter where you're just gonna
click these little levers so easy here's
the bigger faster here's a small ever
and I kind of like that because when
you're changing between all the years of
having the trigger shifters like click
click click click click really easy to
shift is also easy but sometimes I
overshoot the game trying to shift to
maybe you can just be more careful I am
and you won't have that problem
but the other thing about the shifting
on the bikes as this one on the porter
has an eight-speed hope versus the five
speed hub that you have a reporter s so
on 8 vs five it's not the hugest deal
the world and you could certainly get
away with either one
I kind of felt like the shifting was a
little bit smoother and I like the gear
range better from easy year too fast
you're on the quarter compared to the
porter s but I also did find that no
matter where I wrote in the city I
always had enough during either bike so
again a sign from the aesthetic bits
like metal fenders vs would fenders
leather grips vs cork grips the bikes
are very similar and I think it comes
down to the drivetrain belt force change
the gearing 8465 and the brakes
hydraulic versus cable that's really
making a difference between these two
bicycles so again the ferry porter at
the fair day Porter and you know we have
more in depth reviews on these bikes you
can click read up here to watch my video
on the thirty Porter I had a lot of fun
filming that when we go into much more
detail about the sex of the bike then I
have another video the fair deport her
ass and that was a quick one at night
and the snowstorm if you can believe it
riding right over there over the bridge
and we did that on the fair day Porter
St you can click here to watch my video
on the thirty Porter s and then you know
if you want to come back for more videos
that I hope you will be happy to have
you subscribe by clicking right here in
the middle that will you get an
automatic update each and every time I
upload a new video and headlights in
life we ship these fleeting and
assembled ready to ride we have the
protest riding in our atlanta Georgia no
excuse me
Johns Creek Georgia store as well as our
western Massachusetts torque so visit
bikes and life dot com to check that out
as always thank you so much we're gonna
have a great year this year 2016 is
shaping up to be beautiful we're here in
March and it's all sunny I'm loving it
