Mini bio
How it started.
Rob Hancill’s route into filming began with photography and family holiday videos. In an August 2018 forum post, he said he had worked at Apple for seven years until May that year. His YouTube channel dates to January 2018, and he also created EMTB Forums as a place for riders to meet and share their experiences.
Finding an audience.
His work grew to include detailed bike tests, motor technology and conversations with the people building the bikes. Short videos also brought a much wider audience: on LinkedIn, Rob reported that a short made with Cube Bikes reached 51.6 million Instagram views in two weeks.
More ways to talk bikes.
In October 2019, Rob announced an audio-focused Rob Recharged channel alongside his main videos, which he said were approaching 24,000 subscribers. In 2024, The ReCHRGD Podcast featured Rob, Adam and Will discussing bikes, motors and industry news. His recent YouTube work includes a Mondraker factory tour and an interview with Reece Wilson about the Nicolai R20.
