They're very careful not to give you a good view from behind or directly in front of the bike & sidecar as it goes through turns; with only one pivot point, the sidecar leans in the opposite direction of the bicycle as they go thru a turn. They either end up leaning toward each other, or away from each other. I'd trust a system with two pivoting connection points (high and low) that allows the sidecar wheel to lean identically to the bicycle much better. It would also put less side-stress on the sidecar's wheel.
@@boddlook language, please, this is a public forum. I wasn't trying to "hate" on anything, and I do think that it is admirable that someone built this sidecar. I realize that this is a stressful time for everyone, but please don't take your frustrations out on others.
@Alfred Wedmore Mine is fixed, no tilt. One connection at the rear axle, one on the saddle clamp, two near the headstock. Leaning with a sidecar as you describe leaves less room for kids or other cargo. The one in the video makes you push and pull the sidecar wheel sideways over the asphalt in turns, very tiresome. Front wheel axle has to be 3/8" diameter. Steel spokes 13 with more tension than a factory laced wheel, NO stainless, the heads snap off with lateral force. No suspention, makes the bike lean the wrong way. Tires 1 1/2" are enough, when carefull I can transport up to 100kg.
@@boddlook It's not constructive urgument tho. Any industrial machines are designed as it is not possible to operate when your hand is on dangerous part of machine. Do they dismis the idea and told the workers not to place their hand in dangerous place? No, because it happens nomatter how people care about it. Thus, his questioning is valid.
@@boddlook This is my second language. My language might be poor but it doesn't restrict me from expressing my own thoght with my second language. Also, wether you were sarcastic or not, your solution/comment for the problem is obviously contradicting the purpose of the product itself( They literally accomodating kids), and, with the reasoning in previous my comment, I conclueded and stated schmunk's question was valid still even with your suggestion.

Bonjour, Il y'a un risque que le bébé ou l'enfant met sa main dans le mécanisme de la roue arrière. C'est manque de sécurité. Mais ça reste une bonne idée à évoluer.
The pivoting is just wrong! The leaning sidecar should've been resolved with a simple parallelogram linkage system which would cause the sidecar to lean in the same direction the bike is leaning! With the flawed solution in this video the sidecar is leaning towards the bike on a right turn - this only allows slow speed turns with little leaning.
if you compare our sidecar with cheap bike trailer from the supermarket made in China then you are right. but I promise you there is more street credit in this sidecar compare to a bike trailer. and we sell many of this sidecars at moment.

@@MondeSerenaWilliams Carbon fiber isn't cheap. Nor is the manufacturing process. And it's definitely not a lot more than a good commuter bike. My bike (though electric) was $2400.
I'd say in case of a sufficiently sudden movement any kid can smash his face right on the top of that "windscreen". That will hurt. As many things it is pretty save until something bad happens ;-)
@@boddlook It can be said but it will be wrong, because in trains you will never experience any comparable acceleration outside an accident, which is extremely rare AND you rarely sit in a train with a windscreen in your face. In a plane/car you dont have any windscreen in your face as well plus you are belted - maybe you even have airbags. And on a horse sudden movements happen but very few horses are as hard as a windscreen. Aside from that riding a horse is relatively dangerous to begin with compared to all the other means of transportation.
@@rainerzufall689 You and that school boy 40 year old virgin must be related! LOL! How the fuck can you say a bicycle is more dangerous than all the modes of transportation that I mentioned! Fucken pussy!
@Maciej Jan Długosz You do YOURSELF harm by not even MAKING NO SENSE! Are you that LONELY you needed to respond to my comment from THREE MONTHS ago so you have someone to talk to! FUCKEN PUSSY! I'm NOT the idiot that thinks a bike is more dangerous than a train, plane or car! BWAHAHAHAHAHHA
THOSE KIDS HEADS were wacking around SIDE TO SIDE and rider never even noticed.
Lol I thought it was a dummy at first I noticed right away! Lol lmao
Those children, shaken... not stirred😇
I just ordered one! So stoked. Can't wait until it arrives! Will be making a video about it. :)
kids can put HAND INTO CHAIN/GEARS

So go and make one then GENIUS! I can't understand the HATE from these comments towards this product!
It has TWO pivot point! What the fuck are you talking about?

@Alfred Wedmore If you have a public e-mail address I can send you some pictures and explainatory drawings of mine, built in 2007 and daily transport.
Muy bueno práctico saludos desde Colombia 🇨🇴
I'll get aside car on my bike too for my dog and shopping
We have many like that in the philippines
Is there something that prevents kids from sticking their fingers in the back wheel spokes? Could the plexi paneling be a bit higher on that side?
Or tell the kid not to stick their fingers there? You could also wait till their smart enough to listen.

Donde puedo comprar uno en México
Cool product. What is the max. height for one child? How tall can the kid be?
Does it have to be with carbon fiber?! Cuz that price is tooooo much
Wondering if the side car can handle a spouse?

lol at 0:11 that kids head is bouncing all over the place ... wouldnt do this to my kids... :D
The video is speeded up ;-) It's absolutely no problem.
But you'd put them in a car that you're driving right? LOL!
Not asingle right turn... I Wonder why 😂

@@TheFyffe23 but we don't think it's worth 1600+ euros. That's a lot more expensive than even a good commuter bike like priority continuum.
