47:23 Goodbyes - Zábava
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.
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
@@matthewaldrich6455
I’m planning to do this as well. Did you remember to disable the speaker in the tag? Also, I’m going to put the tag inside the plastic controller box out of sight.
Good luck!
@ibnewton8951 Yes, I did. Tbh greatest investment of safety I ever did. I'm also getting a remote alarm as well. I know my bike is safe. I'm fixing to get a fucare Gemini, too, and do the same thing.
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.
Good point every bike , I’ve owned was stolen by any means, not much you can do
Well, if anyone deserves a commission for their suggestions…it’s you! This was the most helpful video I’ve watched, and I’ve purchased several of your recommendations. Thank you so much!
Thanks so much man! Very nice of you to say. Thanks for taking the time to let me know how you feel about me and the video. So glad it helped you!
Agree! This was the most helpful accessories video I've watched. .
Thank you for creating such a helpful video.
Extremely useful and informative video - lots of great ideas here. Thanks!!
You are a perfect example of of normal people . Good video !
Haha! Cool. Thanks! On my phone notification, I only saw “you are a perfect example of” and got a little worried what you were saying to/about me! Haha! Glad it turned out to be a positive comment! Lol.
I concur!
Just to add 2 more accessories to your list...1) ArmyTek Wizard C2 Pro headlamp (4000 max lum)...2)NoxGear Tracer 2 LED riding vest
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.
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.
Very informative and helpful for this 65-year old rookie e-biker. Just getting comfortable after about four weeks and 20 or so miles, and now ready to spend energy and money to dial it in. Thank you for your time and expertise.
Totally! Glad it was helpful. Thanks for taking the time to let me know. Ride safe!
I use the gold standard hip lock black one ,D lock Kryptonite cable and front disk lock with alarm ! E bike $12,000 Custom built ! I lock it in places were their is people and cameras ! Even then not for long !
Yup! Gotta protect your stuff this day and age.
What a refreshingly honest and helpful video, especially for those of us who are toying with the idea of an e-bike. Many, many thanks for this.
Glad it was so helpful! I definitely enjoyed making the video too!
I am 55 years old and I haven't ridden a push bike for about 30 years. But I have started to feel the gentle nudge in the ribs from Health and Finance. So I am getting a bike. 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! I'm sure you will be helping this old man stay safe in the months to come as I adjust to this strange form of transport! My thanks in advance!
Haha, this is my favorite comment. Thanks so much for taking the time to let me know your thoughts! I’ll be in my 50’s myself in 8 short years. Glad you liked the video. More coming. Still editing.
But Sir, I suspect your 50's will be more full of life than mine have been so far. You never know, you may well be instrumental in making my 60's better than my 50's? HaHa. Good luck with your channel!@@Funcentric
I’m 60. I’d suggest a middrive e-bike with pedal assist. I had to build my own cause I’m very picky. The Lectric Xpremium is where I’d start looking. Full disclosure, I’m meeting with them about setting up a dealership bike store because I think they have the best product at the best price.
Great video……Question for you……I ride a Hyper e-bike mountain bike 26 inch…..the forks don’t have mounting holes for fender installation, what do you suggest?…..I just turned 77, can’t drive any more due to eyesight limitations, so the e-bike is my only means of self transport…keep those videos coming. Very likable person. Stay safe.
@@lhunter325 Thabks! I appreciate the kind words! Stay safe out there. My go to place is AliExpress so I’d check that out for fenders that mount to the axle.
Great video! There aren't nearly enough yters who make content about bike commuting. Whenever I watch a mtb channel they always have insanely expensive gear but this is affordable stuff with real use value. Keep it up!
Yup! Accessories for regular people. No $100 pedals but there are $6-20 pairs from AliExpress!
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.
I’ve got an old school telescoping scooter from Sharper Image back in the day. It fits under a coffee table. Yes super convenient for travel.
Thank you for this super long/detailed video. New to e-bike and new to commuting a super long distance for work on it (long to me, anyway, ~16 miles each way), this gives me a ton of ideas for things I hadn't even considered I might need.
Haha. I tried to make it short so it can be bearable to watch. But I felt like I still wanted to be thorough about it. Challenging balance. Haha. Glad you found it helpful.
Thanks You certainly covered a lot of add on's. At the best price!
Being "old school" i.e. previous century I use a hand pump with the C02 cylinders.
Thank you for your information. I had owned e-bikes for decades and thought I knew everything until you talked about racks and then learned something new. Now I subscribed and will learn more from you!
Glad to hear! I definitely don’t know everything. I’m constantly learning too!
Ty ty ty ty ty!!!! You are funtastic, yo! A plethora of practical info and generous as can be with it as well as your time. You rock! Have fun:)
Great info for E bike riders! Especially new ones. Thanks so much.
You’ré very welcome. Glad it helped.
I just electrified a trek 800 that's been sitting in the garage for ages. Cool to see another one with similar changes
I reccomend the Hövding airbag helmet, on my second. I can't imagine any other helmet beating it for protection, it's like a neck brace and airbag helmet in one. Wasn't high impact when my previous one inflated but after I fell off it was like landing on a pillow.
Sounds nice and cush.
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).
Thanks for the video.
You’ré very welcome. Glad it helped out.
Well done. Informative and worth the time to watch for a non pro. 💪🏻
Thank you so much for this video. Literally saved me a ton of time and you spoke so practically ab everything. Thank you so much!!
Cool! Glad to help. Thanks for taking the time to comment. I never know who's watching these things. I've been thinking about a part 2 video when I have some time.
Yea the analog clock is exactly what I need. 1st time AliExpress buyer $3 shipped. If it is junk I'm only out $3. You have made a lot of great suggestions here. I really enjoyed the video.
Nice! I think you’ll like it. Temu=boo. AliExpress=Yeah!
Arrived in 7 days to Pennsylvania after ordering and it looks great and keeps very accurate time. Going to put a $6 bell on the other side to keep things symmetrical. Not to mention the onboard horn in the headlight is too loud for a bike trail.
This is an awesome video. Loved it and what you featured. Super helpful!
Great! Glad you found it useful.
@@Funcentric were you going to put some links in?
@@brewdub no, they’re all from AliExpress mostly. The deals are constantly cycling through so they become irrelevant very quickly. Check out the $1.99 and SuperDeals sections. There’s no search function on those sections so you just have to look through.
You hit the important issues with all aspects of ebike s ! Good on you!
Great video - Thanks for taking the time to create this. Lot's of awesome info..!
Sure thing, thanks for taking a moment to let me know you liked it.
For a water bottle: I’ve been using a “tactical” water bottle pouch… which had many attachment points. Condor, helikon Tex, maxpedition, etc.
I had/have been considering a pouch like that too.
From an old biker,for putting handlebar grips on, old fashioned spray car, the propellants lube it up to go on easy, the propellants evaporate, the hair lacquer remains then adheres the grip to the tube, yet, a bit of HOT water 💧 🔥, and they come off easily too!
Thanks. Nothing beats the alcohol though. It was a miracle!
My brother, I've been riding ebikes for the last 14 years in Brooklyn NY, starting with a 200w prodeco ebike, boy o boy,times have changed for ebikes..you are super great at explaining things,thank you..
Thanks man! I appreciate the kind words. I think I gotta work on shortening the videos somehow or maybe splitting them up. I realize they can be really long.
@@Funcentric no,your videos are not long,your just making sure that your audience understands what your saying,dont change anything,at 68,im still learning things from guys like you...great day bro..
@@wb7370 Thanks for your support and feedback!
Could you please provide a link (or any info) on that front basket..? Or did it come with the bike..? I'd love to find a good front basket.
I'm so glad I found this video on reddit. It is super informative! I am an experienced bicyclist, but wanted an easier carless commute to work. I am so excited to pimp my ride 😁
Awesome! Glad you found it helpful. I didn’t realize it was on Reddit. Maybe an old post I forgot about or someone reposted.
Great video! Thank you.
There are several items that interest me for my new WIRED Freedom. 😀
Ooo, that's a powerful beast of an ebike. I test rode one and was very impressed. Good price point too. Excellent value.
first time viewer... I actually have that exact model battery powered air pump, lol.... works awesome for small tires but barely better than nothing for car size tires... nice informative video!
Very helpful info! Thank you!
Sure! Glad you found it useful!
Do you have a link to the clock. My husband and I really enjoyed your video. Very informative and we're ordering quite a few of the items.
Thank you bud!
I am new in the ebike space. You've helped me with your solid videos!
Now to binge more.
Edit: This is a wonderfully complete accessory video. well thank you again!
Awesome! Glad you enjoyed it. A bit long I know. Lots to go through though and I didn't want to miss anything out.
@@Funcentric Bud, I sincerely appreciate the amount of information you deliver here. I dig the length, because you stay concise whilst giving a tonne of insights.
@@karyldavidkidd7111 Thanks for taking the time to let me know!
I’m new to the e-bike industry I’ve seen your videos plus I belong to a group on facebook thru Lectric bike and you have posted informative links there thank for guiding me on what accessories to buy…
Thanks for taking the time to let me know. I get hassled a lot there so it’s nice to see some appreciation every now and then.
That basket looks cool!
Just the stock one.
Thank you, very interesting and helpful.
Cool, glad you found it helpful. Made the hours of filming and editing worth it. Haha.
Very informative video! Thanks 😊
Cool, glad you found it useful.
Thank you , I learned a lot and will use your advice, suggestions,,,
Cool! Glad it helped.
That was a awesome video !!! Thank you for sharing it with us...:):):)
Certainly, glad you enjoyed it.
Dude. Great video. Thank you!
Awesome! Thanks for letting me know. What's your next accessory going to be?
Hi, Good video. With my E-Bike I have it custom with a side mirror, Fedog™ horn/alarm, INWA™blue tooth speaker for music, bottle holder with a Thermal bottle, a flat key steel bike U-Lock, front and rear turn signals (it already came with front and rear lights with break lights) and a HOMCOM™Trunk, and finally a personalized 'JOE' bicycle license plate. Oh, my e-bike has handlebars like yours.😎
Cool! Sounds like it’s well equipped.
Great video. Thank you. Was the alarm part of the garage door remote?
Glad it was helpful. No, the alarm is part of the other remote - the one with exposed buttons.
Your front light i have the 5 led one if you hold the power button you get a daytime running strip of LEDS across thr bottom! Brilliant light front and rear on deal for £21.99 just now! Got mine last week
Omg I'm so happy to see another aliexpress shopper! I have so many of the same things you do! I did the same with the blinkers. I've saved so much money, especially on my rechargable air pump and then I got an easy attachment that is life the car tire ones so you don't have to twist it on. It also has air release.
Yeah, not a lot of AliExpress talk on CZcams because they don’t sponsor anyone. CZcamsrs are big on commissions with Banggood.
I was always weird about Aliexp. But I'm definitely gonna buy there now. Ty!!
Thank You for a great video! 🙂- Did that mounting bracket come with the Master Lock Cuffs? I just looked them up on Amazon, and it doesn't show/say anything about a bracket, so just wondering...
14 years ago it did but not anymore. I’ve been having a hard time finding another one too. Maybe consider the Foldylock Forever. On sale now on Amazon for $97 shipped.
@@Funcentric I'll check it out!
I use Milwaukee safety glasses as my clear or sunglasses ride wear. They are less than $10 and fit me well. They are better at blocking out wind than my regular glasses.
I like you man, i'm exactly like this
Everything is on the bike bcz of the reason i liked all the things that you showed in this video, probably buy couple of things, i watch so many videos like this but i think this is the video i needed thanku
Awesome! Thanks for the kind words.
Great episode. I think you will save me way over $200 over the next year. Liked and subscribed.
Haha! Yeah I won’t be surprised. I think I’ve saved thousands since I started shopping on AliExpress before Amazon sold more than just books.
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.
I love Ali on most staff I had even e-bike EKX-X20 2000W / 48V /35ah still waiting for it to arrive in couple week 🤞🤞✌
Great video. Can you please link the motorcycle footpegs? Thx
Motorcycle Foot Pegs,1Pair... www.amazon.com/dp/B08QHD81Y7?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
Amazing video. Thanks.
Glad you liked it. Hope it wasn’t too long. Haha. I will be producing a night time accessory video some time.
Can someone look into rear tail lights when we apply the brakes, (not all Ebikes have these, or if they do have them, many Ebike brands don't have
them set up so they can be seen easily by cars if there is cargo on a rear rack blocking the red light shinning outwards. )
I would like to see one that is ''oversized if possible like almost the size of a red brake light you see on a car'' (I plan on doing a lot of night time city riding)
MY E-CELLS e-mtb ACCESSORIES-> 1.) Velosurance 2.) LiteLock U lock (diamond level security rated)
My Super Monarch Crown came with a big front basket (mounted to the head tube) and a rechargeable e-air pump which works great with settable PSI .
great video!!! Thank you!
You literally hit all my concerns w certain accessories. I won a ebike and just got it 🎉😊 however it came with a comfort seat and suspension post which i was super excited about ...however I am 5'1 lol. Can I just change the post back to normal so i am able to get on my bike and lower my seat? Thanks sooo much
Thanks! As far as the seat post, yes you can get a standard seat post and gain probably 2" back.
ver informative thanks
Glad you found it useful.
You wear the bike lock??? Lol! Nice video and thx for the tips!
hi, how did you manage to config the turn signal front/rear in just one remote? ride safe
Detailed in my turn signals video with instructions and demo.
I bought a bell with a hidden AirTag holder. Cool
Shhhh, don’t tell anyone. Heh.
@@Funcentric true dat!
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
Some very nice accessories you have found. Do you know if a set of turn signals could be set up to operate as a string of 6? So 2 for the front, 2 for the back & 2 for a trailer? Since they are cordless, I am wondering if the signal from the handlebar control would reach to the set on the trailer? Thank you.
I’m pretty sure it would. I don’t think there is a limit of how many turn signals can connect to the remote. I ha e a separate video on the demonstration of the turn signals that might interest you.
Te felicito por el video! Gracias!
gracias. me alegra que lo hayas disfrutado
Great video not all of us have hundreds to spend
Yup and AliExpress is having their 11/11 sale still going on. $1.99 products still available too.
i thought it was stop the fomo there for a minute😂 for your security a chastity belt and some handcuffs
Hi great video. Regarding the alarm. How did you manage to pair one remote to two devices? Please help as i cannot find a way to do it. Thanks in advance.
I go over it in detail in one of my other videos. I have a demo specific for the turn signals. The short answer is that you engage the turn signal on the remote and then hold the on button on the turn signal that you want to pair.
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.
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.
Hi Hiplok D1000 is a great lock but have you seen the Litelok range specifically the X1 and X3 anti angle grinder locks. X1 is an ideal Ebike lock and cheaper than D1000/X3 SIZE, X3 is bigger more a motorcycle lock
Yeah I came across that. 3.4K for the x1 which isn’t bad at all.
@@Funcentric I’m retired and on a budget and £150 for X1 compared to £250 for X3/D1000 at the moment in the UK was a no brainier for the increased anti angle grinder security over my previous heavy U lock with chain New York Forgettaboutit, no idea of cost or availability elsewhere in the world though.
I got them Hex locks for my allen bolt heads should get them for your seat post it locks the allen key port
Having said the below comments I had to chuckle when you said you didn't like too much attached to your handlebars!!!
My minimum is quite overwhelming, isn’t it? I do like my single gear bike a bit more partly because there is less clutter.
Bell !VR3 super chin removable ! MIPS rotational !
The best thing in this review for sure is the electric air compressor.
Btw could you put a link to the front basket ??? pleeease cheers mate .
It's just the stock one, www.juicedbikes.com/products/ripracer-front-basket-carrier?variant=39364477943872
Overall, at the end, great video thanks for the recommendations you probably should get some sponsorship
Thanks man, but it’s really not worth it. The accessories are so cheap I’d be getting pennies. I’d rather keep the channel non monetized to continue reducing the number of annoying ads.
What size screws did you use to mount those “hand cuffs” lol. I’m trying to mount a water bottle holder
It uses the standard bottle boss screws.
@@Funcentric bottle boss??
@@Funcentric do you have a link?
@@darrenmerrill6799 Yeah, I just used regular screws that go into the mount. Most bikes come with them. If not, any bike shop will have extras to sell you.
@@darrenmerrill6799 No, they're just a standard part. If your bike doesn't have the screws already, any local bike shop will have the bottle cage boss screws.
Master Lock Street Cuff, What mount is that on your bike for them?
Man if I could locate one, I’d buy it. I saw a shop claim they have it but they’re charging $65 for that thing before tax and shipping. Mine is 14 years old. Discontinued I bet.
@@Funcentric thank you
what front basket are you using? i didnt catch it but i love it
The OEM one
You almost have as much stuff as me ... I also have the coolest windshield you've ever seen, wasn't cheap,but my ebike stands out, it has two alarms and tags, but I also never park it where I can't see it,..
Can you please post the link for your mirrors? Thx
Super sale now. Cheaper than what I got it for,

I always use motorcycle rated helmets because it's better to be overkill than underkill and destroy your face. Also I have heard that non full-face helmets do not affect survivability.
I just don’t like the weight and limited visibility. Most bike injuries actually do not involve the head at all. Just a precaution.
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. It also helps with just having a couple extra sets of batteries charged so you have redundancy and don't have to go without a light if you don't ride at night all the time and your light happens to be dead when you decide to go out
True. I’m glad the lights last through my night rides though. The lithium batteries are denser than alkaline so they can be packaged quite small.
Hello...can you tell me where you bought the front basket? i'm trying to find a good one for me ebike. Thanks.
From the respective companies. Juiced for the yellow bike and Lectric for the white one. You’ll need both the rack and the basket.
awesome thanks@@Funcentric
@@theyteam1432 To clarify, the Juiced bike does not require a rack. The front basket just mounts onto the stem. One piece. The Lectric one is a two piece setup. There’s an L-shaped rack that mounts to the stem and then the basket gets mounted on top and it comes in two sizes. What you see in the video is the large size.
@@Funcentric thank you for the clarification. This helped.
Re: super stealthy phone mount - does it hold the phone pretty well or is it likely to fall off when riding over a big bump? i have a regular phone mount but its really bulky and takes up a lot of handlebar space.
It’s more secure than you’d think. Because I have bmx style handlebars, the handlebars themselves will keep it in place if it were to ever slide over. I haven’t had that problem though.
Note that stealthy mount will not work for larger phones. Also there’s a new version out that spins into portrait mode. AliExpress.
What happened to the sunglasses link? Great video, btw!

You just got yourself +1 subs
Cool, I hope you find the content useful. I plan to make a night time accessories video as a follow up.
My lock takes three grinding disks to cut a link or the lock. So yes, you can cut through it with a grinder. But it takes a whole lot of seconds. Not just a few.
You must have the X1 or D1000.
Huge fan of fairer prices of some of the Ali stuff, . Not sure how the MTB glasses would look on a non-asian face but thanks for sharing these! How have you been able to keep the Trek frame in this shape?
Haha. Thanks. Honestly, I do not ride the Trek that often but when I do, I wipe bit down and every now and then.
Link for those fancy sun glasses?
You won't believe the price and will think it's a scam. But here it is anyway. haha, the links change all the time, so you may have to do your own search if this doesn't come up. The best deals aren't searchable, so if you keep looking at their $1.99 or $1.79 section, this might come up. www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805022998057.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.main.3.15df24a0T1shGW&algo_pvid=1245a300-7513-4241-827e-a418142bc829&algo_exp_id=1245a300-7513-4241-827e-a418142bc829-1&pdp_npi=4%40dis%21USD%218.72%213.58%21%21%218.72%21%21%402103241d16935793012236360e846e%2112000032183481109%21sea%21US%21117472434%21&curPageLogUid=9F5bKwlMwV7H
@@FuncentricYour link worked :) .99 cents ... Thanks 👍 (welcome deal)
@@effluent4u even better!
@@effluent4u I’ve seen a company try to sell a variation of these on Facebook for $56.
where did buy the rear rack from for the ripracer
Stock OEM item.
Where’s the link to those glasses
If you search the $1.99 or $1.79 section of AliExpress, I’m sure you can find these for that price.

ABC (any bottle cage) by Bikase. Hands down, the best bottle holder. Amazon $28.
I’ll keep that in mind. Thanks!
Is that an i3 I see? I sold mine a few years ago.
Yes, it is! You probably got a great deal back then when you sold.
To be able to reflect is never a gimmick when it comes to biking...
There is a bolt missing under the seat 35:29
The Front Basket can you tell me where to get
They’re stock from Juiced and Lectric respectively.
your awesome thank you for the fast reply@@Funcentric
No links to them?
No, because they change all the time. Pricing too. Not sponsored.
I didn't see the link for the glasses. Can you give it to me PLEASE
Sure, www.aliexpress.us/item/3256804684732435.html
Hillock d1000 or litelockx1/x3
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.
35 years ago I worked at Rhode Gear in the Providence, Rhode Island factory on Allens Ave...making water bottles , the holders & rakes.. other bicycling.. it's gone now bcz all that production went to China
