YouTube’s favorite philanthropist has now given the gift of transportation. Thanks to a generous donation from Lectric eBikes, Jimmy Donaldson, a.k.a. MrBeast, asked his following (the biggest on YouTube) to send videos explaining why they need an e-bike. After reviewing thousands of submissions, his philanthropy team chose the 600 lucky winners and made the above video to showcase the most moving moments.

In other words, it’s precisely what you’d expect if you’ve seen a video from MrBeast. Given that he has more subscribers than any person on YouTube (248 million), the odds are that you already know what I’m talking about.

If not, here’s your chance to get educated.
