and good morning everyone Eric here from nomadic fanatic I hope you guys are doing well as you can
see blue skies sunshine palm trees in Florida 78 degrees here today well I've just left Daytona
Beach we're going straight west we are going to go to the other coast as I mentioned we got to
get to Tampa I gotta meet up over there followed by another meet up at the Tampa RV Super Show uh
so I got to get my bearing straight and get over there we gotta deal with tater tot I'm gonna be
without my car for about a week or so five days more on that later for right now we got
to do some driving I will be uploading this video with my new Nomad air through Nomad internet here
later Road's a little rough on this Lane I'm gonna move over because there's nobody there
uh and I also want to mention that two videos ago when I did my review for that device speed
test showed and many people pointed out that I was not connected to the Nomad air I was still
connected to my phone's LTE so we're gonna give it a fair and honest second try here
once we get parked in Tampa thanks for joining me guys let's put on some miles [Music] foreign
[Music]
just dropped off tater tot I'm not gonna tell you a whole lot what's going on but I'm gonna
be without the car for a few days I'm very excited stay tuned now we're gonna head to
Tampa all right tater tot is gone even though that car only weighs 1600 pounds uh I can definitely
feel a difference in the RV for sure it it's easier to turn it's just it's just a lot a lot
different without the talk back there I'm gonna check out this Walmart up here and get supplies
before going to Tampa because I won't have the car and I want to be able to have enough barley pops
and TV dinners to last me uh by the time you guys watch this video uh Bethune docking 2.0
will officially have begun over there at red white and bethune's spot over there however
I'm getting there two days early to hang out with some friends and familiarize myself with
everything and also had to drop the car off so that's why I'm getting there early I think this
is Walmart right here looks like a big lot Yep this is what we're gonna do so that's my plans
I'll be talking throughout this week about what's going on and some of my some of my future plans
but not everything right away okay so let me do some shopping all right guys so I got Frida
uh parked here where I'm gonna be for at least a few days we're near where Bethune docking 2.0 is
going to take place but we're on the other side of the property because like I said I'm a little
early but I've been collecting packages got my new logo signage for next week's meet and greet
at the Florida RV Super Show and uh yeah first of all before we go any further I want to show
you what the Nomad air on Nomad internet really does the right way so let's do that first all
right we got the incigo or Nomad air device here uh plugged in and as you can see it's a little
different so rather than the first test where we had a blinking green light all those different
lights mean different things the solid blue light that we have right now means that we are connected
to c-band on the Verizon network the brand new c-band high speed mobile internet so with that
Lit solid blue okay we're actually just going to go off my laptop here as you can see I'm connected
to nomadic fanatic which is that router there and I'm going to redirect over to speedtest.net this
time and we're going to do it the right way and make sure that we're not accidentally connected to
LTE so down here we've got Verizon it's finding an optimal server server there and give it a minute
there we go Tampa Florida which is nearby we are we are basically in Tampa right now so
let's go ahead and do an actual test here hopefully this doesn't mess me up again
give us something good here give us something good I'm gonna go ahead and allow this like that
holy cow yeah that's good that's a lot better you see those feeds guys 200. we're getting 200 down
that's what the new c-band through Nomad internet and Verizon officially 201 down and much better
uploads in the 40s okay so there we go I had it all messed up last time this is a super fast
system here with Nomad air and c-band cool uh it's also it's a 30-day turnaround on my sticker so I
don't have my new stickers yet I will have them literally the day before the meet and greet at
the RV Super Show in Tampa so I will have them with me also I I think I'm actually going to
have a nomad air in my hand to give away we're gonna do that drawing you can enter the drawing
anytime starting after 12 30 there in the meet and greet Pavilion for the Satellite Dish through dish
playmaker dish outdoors and The Nomad air device as well as of course I'm going to give you one of
those free stickers but at about 1 15 we'll do the drawing live and then you can you can take it with
you you can just take it with you from from the RV Show okay I know I've mentioned it in several
videos up till now but if you haven't marked your calendar already and you're in the Tampa Florida
area don't miss the Tampa RV Super Show at the Florida State Fairgrounds meet and greet where you
can come talk to me and hang out and get a picture get a sticker enter some drawings can't wait to
see you guys next week Thursday January 19th 12 30 pm at the Florida State Fairgrounds gosh I love
this beautiful sunshine every day in Florida I am definitely missing my car it feels very strange to
not have a vehicle I think I've done it before I think I'm gonna go check out turo.com I actually
have their app on my phone and let me see if they have any cars I could rent for a few days
let's go check it out actually uh turo had quite a few vehicles to choose from uh I forget
that some you get in these big markets like Tampa is a is a really big area and uh there
are a lot of vehicles a lot of uh interesting vehicles too anything from a 5.0 Mustang to uh
uh Jeep Wrangler to whatever starting at 39 bucks a day so um I'm gonna have
to get a ride tomorrow to go pick up my vehicle my my loaner I guess you'd call it
yeah uh another update to Nomad internet and Nomad air this is fresh hot off the press today minutes
ago I'll post it up here and that is that there is no longer a cap on 4G I think it was 300 gigabytes
or something like that as long as you have a nomad air like I have or the other one the Raptor if
you have those two newer Nomad internet routers everything is now unlimited unthrottled period I'm
going to continue to test this theory on the road so feel free to uh listen to me do more experience
experiments on the road but uh awesome really good news um they kind of just listen to everybody we
need unlimited we need unthrottled flat all the time 4G 5gc band so good to go also now I've had
plenty of experiences with e-bikes I've liked a couple I've neh a couple and I flat out I can't
even make this video guys I'm gonna send the bike back to you it's so bad type of situations
um I got one no obligation I'm just gonna share it with you and have some fun we're gonna go
a little ride here but I I do want to share it with you because so far first impressions
I really like this bike guys this is a monster mountain bike with four inch puncture resistant
fat tires by troxus trixus Traxxas yeah 26 inch e-bike here with a 750 watt motor in the back
and uh guys this is uh this is an e-bike this is one of the most impressive built e-bikes I've ever
seen it's called the vulcanus 26 inch by troxus hope I'm pronouncing that right it's got the
fenders all around it's got integrated headlight with a tail light and the tail light flashes and
blinks when you actually hit the brakes uh it's got five settings for pedal assist it'll
go 25 miles on throttle only this little thumb dial right there push that it'll go 25 miles
you just sit there then just use it as a you know electric bike without pedaling if you want to but
um I the seat the seat needs Improvement uh other than that it's very comfortable it does have front
fork shocks for suspension no rear suspension but it's a comfortable bike let me get my GoPro
go for a ride yeah so right now I'm just uh coasting here with one hand because the thumb
throttle is right there so I can just apply that and then it just takes off down the road on its
own that I can still apply the front brake here but the display is easy enough to read there you
can see I'm going 11 miles an hour you might not be able to see what the LED flicker but we're in
pedal assist one which means if I come to a stop and just kind of start pedaling now it's going
to kick in right there there's pedal assist one and it's super easy to Pedal this thing
around the corner if I bump this up to five two three four five now luckily I've got it in the
right gear on the other side but we are sipping guys flat out flying on this e-bike right now
22 miles an hour okay hold on hit the brakes here you could put it in zero and just pedal it just
like a normal bicycle but I got it in pedal assist five which means when I start pedaling here it's
going to kick in right there it takes off it is a very comfy ride I feel like even though it doesn't
have rear suspension the fat tires really absorb a lot of it of course we're on concrete right now
how well does it do off-road I tested that too and I will say that the fenders although they're
probably functional for mud and dirt and rain and water and stuff my feeling is I'm probably
going to take them off because they make a lot of noise on off-road defend even though they're tight
man this thing just flies it's fun yeah I got uh five days here as we get into Bethune Dock
and I like this one guys I'm Gonna Keep riding it and give the company my feedback and uh you
never know by time I leave uh I may be taking it with me it did come this is just from the shipping
it came with some scratches and stuff which sucks but like I said I may take these off especially
the front one it just rattles and it's not going to do it now but it makes a lot of noise when
you're not on solid surface I may just take the fenders off I don't know yet and the battery is
removable it's got a low key right there so you know it's a typical e-bike yeah you guys know but
yeah I dig it I definitely rode worse e-bikes in my life got Steve here from uh RBC travels
we're on the cruise with me uh before I put this camera away though I want to mention something
real quick because again I'm using my GoPro right now and people always say on my channel that they
prefer this one because it has better focus is the term a lot like I think I feel like a lot
of people don't know how to say it but that just has better focus well the GoPro actually doesn't
have any Focus that's why I'm in Focus Steve's in Focus everything in the shot around me is
always in focus with with a GoPro uh it's funny to me that a lot of my viewers prefer this look
and I'm just pointing that out because you know I got this camera you know and if I went back and
told my photography teacher that my viewers don't want this they don't want blurred background they
don't want me in focus and everything they want this GoPro shot they actually prefer this shot
doesn't make sense but you know it kind of is what it is you guys have told me over and
over that you like the GoPro better you like the audio better you like the look of everything so um
okay oops all right now we're back to my Sony Alpha 7 mirrorless full frame uh mark IV with that
buttery smooth 1.8 F background you know makes me look crispy background I like this because if I
have something out that I don't want you to see or if it's messy or something you can't see as easily
in the background but um it's just interesting to me maybe there's a good and bad time to use this
camera and maybe for the majority of my shots I should listen to my viewers and use my GoPro so
you can see everything going on outside and then when it's low light or other situations I can go
to this I guess is tricky for me uh trying to interpret what people think they want or say
they want or what they prefer over what you know because he I can't use all the terminology because
I'll just confuse people anyway I like this camera but apparently many of my viewers don't
and and I'm okay with that I guess it is what it's YouTube It's YouTube Eric we're not making
a feature film okay okay yep nice kind of chilly night here in Florida Steve and I are enjoying the
the fake fire here the propane fire there with this amazing view off in the distance the sun
just set about 15 minutes ago and you got orange and blues and a star peeking through up there
and just a really nice night in Florida we'll go ahead and close her out guys go spend some
time with the kitties and then I'll be back and in my next video I'll uh I'll show you what car
or vehicle I'm gonna go pick up excited you guys be well we'll see you next time bye-bye foreign
