    When I had a bike stolen, locked to a stand at the local golf club, the thieves took the stand and the bike and loaded them into the back of a van and drove off. People witnessed the theft, but no one took down the number-plate number of the van, and they were never caught and I never got my bike back. If someone REALLY wants a bike, a lock is of no importance. GOOD VIDEO.

    • @matthewaldrich6455
      @matthewaldrich6455 Před 5 měsíci +6

      I put an airtage underneath the seat in the cover panel hidden away. Ik where my bike is at all times. Also i have 2, 18mm hardened, aluminum alloy, steel thick chains i lock my bike too. I tried cutting it with a cutter the other day to test it out, it took me like literally 10mins to cut halfway through one of the locks. Which is generally enough of time if you're going quickly into somewhere and right back out.
      Even if they had time and could cut through the lock, they'd still have the airtag to worry about

      Sorry about your bike being stolen. Yes, it's true that a lock will not stop every thief, but locks have probably stopped a lot of "potential thieves". I have a Foldy Lock and Three,,, count'em THREE motion sensitive alarms. The alarms will sound at any motion of the bike and finding and eliminating one alarm will leave two more still squalling. I don't plan to leave my bike locked up for more than a few minutes at a time anyway.

      AliExpress has a knockoff version of the vest for $14. Probably not as good but I think better value. As for the headlamp there’s a COB led style one I like for about $8. I should do a part 2 of accessories. Thanks for the idea.

  • @tetsuclaw
    @tetsuclaw Před 2 měsíci +5

    For my seat post I just swapped the quick release to a regular bolt so you need a tool to remove it. From my experience if someone brings a tool for theft they are gonna bring a tool to defeat a lock so they can steal an entire bike, not just the seat off of it. Bolt actually didn't cost me anything so win there for budget value. I also do not carry any weapons/pepper spray for self defense. Technically where I am it is illegal to do so. I do not live in the USA.

Things have changed a lot in 3 decades, so was looking for tips and ideas. I now have added to the list of things I need, and when I choose them I can draw on your advice. I found your video informative yet concise enough, and impartial. More importantly you have an honest and likable presentation so you easily earned a like and a sub!

    My e-bike is a folder. Can take it with me inside where I’m visiting and fold it up close to where I’m setting. In some cases it will fit under the table. One other thing that I like about a folding bike is simply that it’s much easier to hide. In a TSHTF scenario, I can fold it up and hide it under something like a dense group of thickets.

    Hi from NZ.
    Your suggested suspension seat post is helpful. That makes a cloud9 (etc) unnecessary, as most standard seats are fairly comfortable. I already have an alarm, various good locks and a rechargeable air pump. My EBike came with those extended palm-support grips. My wife and I have Sena helmets (because they have inbuilt connected audio coms).

    I'll probably want an ebike sometime, but in the mean time I'll use my Dutch bike. (I really lucked out with that one). These products are cool, but a lot of them aren't super necessary for this kinda bike. I think one way of going about it is a more minimalist way. I've got a rear basket with a rack rated for 80kg and a front basket mounted with a single bungee cord. It works, and I don't have to worry about storage for anything specific like my backpack, lock, water, and lots and lots of groceries. The handlebars are drawn back and upright without much on them. The frame lock, hold on...
    I'm reading this back and it looks like I'm just bragging about my beat up bike. The seat is very much stuck and it weighs like 80 lbs. I guess my original point was that I think about buying accessories differently. No hate on your video.

    Top tip for you for your grips use a flat head screwdriver and some hairspray a wee scoosh and it'll slide right off! And do the same scoosh abit in the grip and on the bar ends and slide it back on to give it a good grip hold to the bars! This what we done as kids in the 90s early 2000s on our bmxs and downhill racing bikes! Works a treat id probably still be doing this if grips weren't lock on now! Best thing ever! Don't use ipa itll remove paint and melt the grips or worse make them brittle! I use it for 3D printing cleaning if it gets on anything rubber or plastics or painted items it ruins the paint and structure of rubber! Don't use it please not for inside a grip! You need this to be safe

    I really like that Juiced ripracer and I was thinking about buying one, but I'm 6'2" and it looked really cramped in length. I did some research and it was a little shorter than my wife's Lectric XP lite which had a shorter wheelbase than the Lectric XP 3.0. I ended up buying the XP 3.0 because of size, but I really wanted that 52V.
    Is it a small as I think it is, or was I right to get the Lectric? Don't get me wrong, I like the Lectric, but that ripracer is a cool bike.

    • @Funcentric
      @Funcentric  Před 5 měsíci

      Rip racer is better made and a much better performer. No contest. We’re talking about a 12 year old company vs one that’s only been in business for a few years. Lectric is a budget brand. Juiced is designed for performance. My friend is 6’-0” and wishes the handlebars were slightly higher but likes the rip racer otherwise.

    For convenience maybe but I don't like repurchasing things and throwing stuff away so I actually really appreciate items with removable batteries especially if there's a way to charge them without taking the batteries out.

      D1000 way too expensive and bulky for me. Maybe the X1 if I were parking in a high theft area often. Current setup is working really well for me in the situation I’m in. I don’t visit or park in high crime areas regularly.
