I’m Nicole Elise — host of Know How TV.
What started as a passion for cars and motorcycles turned into something more when I realized the real story was never just the machine.
It’s the people behind it.
Where they came from, what they’ve been through, and what it took to build something that actually means something.
Real Stories. Real Builds. Real People.
Know How TV is where machines meet real life.
From Daytona Bike Week to street builds and custom bikes, I uncover the stories behind the machines—through real conversations with the people who build, ride, and live them.
This isn’t just about horsepower or parts.
It’s about identity, passion, and the moments that shape who someone becomes.
Because sometimes the loudest engines come from the quietest battles.
I’m not just behind the camera—I’m in the garage too.
From pulling my own 5.4L Triton 3v engine as a single mom because I had to, to learning through every mistake, I know what it means to build something with your own hands.
That’s what makes these stories different.
At Know How TV, this isn’t about showing off builds—it’s about understanding the journey behind them.
The machines are just the entry point. The story is the reason we stay.

Watch the full series on Know How TV (YouTube) where Gucci Greg, owner of the internet's most controversial Build tells us the real reason behind the Gucci Chopper creation. It's a MUST SEE and internet sensation. These are the channel's most watch videos. When you commit to watch the whole playlist, you'll also hear about Dan, the Marine Aviator who survived a helicopter crash, suffered from severe PTSD and wanted to take his life. This suicide prevention video was created to share this message to others who might be struggling as well. Strat a business owner from Chicago closes the doors to his well established business after 37 years and speaks of his love for cars and shares his stories of his restaurant being the mecca and central meeting point for all cars, exotics, custom builds and wild car shows. And all the memories he shares over the last 37 years of closing his doors and starting a new chapter in life.

Coming up: One of the best auto painters and artists in the world, Ryan Evans from Counting Cars and Count's Customs - I got to speak with Ryan for 40 minutes and found out some really surprising facts about his life and his love for painting custom cars. Ryan is by far the best artist I've ever met in my whole life. Plus more stories behind the builds of very dedicated local car enthusiasts and custom builders.

Currently seeking a partnership through sponsorships to join our journey with helping Dan, a father who's son was shot and killed. Dan's late father set up a life insurance policy before passing in the event any family members passed away. Dan used his 14 year old son's insurance payment to invest in a car that would serve as a memoir to his son since they could't afford a nice car before his son passed. Shortly after purchasing the car from the previous owner, the notorious and infamous S-Tronic B8 transmission started slipping and failed. It now sits in his backyard untouched and undriveable. Dan just had a new baby boy which is a miracle and a blessing but let's face it, babies cost money. This is where I attempt to help Dan as he is the type of guy who helps anyone who needs help. Now it's his turn. I will perform the full transmission swap, solo female and document and publish on my YouTube Channel. Stay Tuned!
