@@debdunham6380 First I have a heart problem and just had spine surgery so I do what I can. Second, he was peddling the whole time I followed him and the only way he could have gotten home with that battery is by peddling. Do you own a e-bike?
Bell for trails, bike horn for crosswalks and crowds, and LoudBicycle Horn (simulated dissonant two-tone car horn--midsize sedan) for riding in or with traffic. All three have their pros and cons. The bell receives almost full compliance from pedestrians, but not motorists. The bike horn can get some compliance from pedestrians and motorists, but usually not loud enough. The LoudBicycle car horn is loud enough to grab motorist attention, but oftentimes causes confusion amongst other roadway users (ppl think I'm a midsize sedan as they're looking around for such a vehicle). In most cases, though, people will ignore all three horns as if I don't exist. This is usually the result of today's self-entitlement among people and the hatred/bias towards cyclists in general.
Currently I use a combo of obnoxious music and a 110db horn. I am going to build a throttle cued mp3 based sound generator and see if a motor noise helps with awareness.
I ride trails on my human powered trike. I only have a bell. I usually do a short ding to warn pedestrians but I can also do a longer and louder ring if I am approaching a blind turn. I never have to worry about passing any bikes with my three gears and old legs. :)
@@dancurran8977 Thanks for commenting Dan! Horns are becoming a thing with e-bike manufactures so I wanted to nicely point out what a pain they are for hikers….
I once had a little old lady yell at me for calling out leftt side. She wanted me to use a bell, I felt bad, but I'm not putting a flipping bell on my bike.
Hey Jerry T! Just subscribed; what a beautiful trail. I like the bell, but if I think they know i"m coming-up I usually give a cheerful " Thanks" or "good morning" instead.
It’s good to find a shop with mechanics that do good work and are trustworthy. It can be a rare thing today. I had to smile because most bike shops in the US are small with limited selection. In Nagoya, Japan, for example, they have bike shops small and personal like the one you visited , but they also have stores that are the size of a Walmart. One that comes to mind is Y’s. Mind you they sell regular road and mountain bikes. Almost every brand under the sun with dedicated areas for each. Prepare to spend a good part of your day there. There are some others that are even larger, but I don’t recall the names. Ride safe as our roads are too populated by lunatic drivers. Part of our pre-ride check list here in AZ is to make sure our insurance is paid up to date. It’s still the Wild West out here. Gone from horses to automobiles.
My gosh, I feel so homesick now. I used to bike the towpath when it was only 50 miles long. I left in 2004 and currently live east of Portland OR. There is a path here, but it's nothing compared to the towpath. I miss the people, too, that used the path where courtesy and greetings were the norm. No one seems to know the passing rules-of-the-road here.
Yikes......I ride on sidewalks when necessary, but at slow speeds, and I always stop, pull over, and give the pedestrians the right of way. Watching you scares the hell out of me. No wonder so many communities are beginning to limit E-Bike usage.
I really enjoyed watching this video. I’ve been going back and forth on what e-trike to purchase; RAD trike, Lectric XP trike and this Mooncool model. The Lectric Trike is reported by many owners to have bearing issues. The RAD trike is way overpriced for what you get. This one is perfectly priced and equipped. So far I haven’t heard of any owner complaints. So I’ll bit the bullet and order two for my wife and I. I’ll admit, you have some great areas to ride. Thanks for the video.
The bell is a much nicer to here or the horn. I have several bikes with the horn and it just reminds me of a motorcycle cop coming up behind you and honking at you to pull over. If I have to use the horn I do it from a farther distance out to not startle anyone.
This bike is HEAVY even without the battery. So unless you have a garage or a shed to keep it in then prepare for a constant workout. You WILL need help loading and unloading on vehicles. If you have steps of any kind then this bike is a NO
I've owned 2 E-bikes in the past and 1 currently BUT its because of lowlife the ride motorized vehicles (E-bikes) on bicycle/pedestrian paths and sidewalks that will be the reason for numerous laws that will be coming because of those as*holes. Be like me and only ride in the streets not sidewalks! If you're too frightened to do that take a bus so people aren't taking a risking getting hit by a speeding E-biker on the sidewalk.
They're forever filming in Toronto, making it a real pain to get around in an already congested city. (But it's always cool to see Toronto landmarks in shows like Star Trek and feature films)
😊 I always just worry about my audio and post production I run two mics choose from the best audio then I adjust the audio to it just under clipping the red and then sometimes if the bikes to loud I will throw 45 to 50% isolation of Voice on it. The key is doing it before you start cutting the video up. 😂 But spend much too much time editing.
@@GarysE-BikeAdventures I have gone through 3 editing softwares trying to save time in post production and I would highly recommend this mic. Sound is great and it records so you have a backup. Thanks for watching😀
@@Ebiketips1 my DJI mics also have a back up recording I probably only spend five minutes on the sound so long as I remember to do it before I start cutting it up 🤣
Love those rides that just explore. Pretty cool to see a movie set being built. No if I see the movie I will be looking for Jerry T. in the background.
Wish we had nice long paved trails like that here. I got rough dirt roads and steep mountain trails instead lol. I would love to review one of those Aniioki bikes but no luck yet.
I just recently reached out to that company. I’m impressed with their mileage. I would like to have somebody send me a scooter. I’d like to try it. I probably kill myself but 🤪 I had a heart attack four years ago now I’m 100 pounds lighter and healthier.
Another nice ride Jerry. That is a really nice path to follow. I am hoping for a rode trip this Fall hitting places like Yosemite, Mammoth, Sequoia and maybe some place new Vegas. have a great day and a great ride.
I have a e-trike and have never had a problem with the police. I think the problem occurs when people treat their e-cycles like motorcycles. They are the ones that give the whole e-cycle industry a bad name. Shame on them.
