Thank you for showing great gadgets! Awesome video.

Just can't believe why it took so long for companies to come out with rear view bike camera. It is such a old matured and cheap technology. Should be easily to have tiny camera clip to the back of helmet, seat, etc.

Thanks, bought one to put on my Fiido L 3 that's coming to me Friday.

Awesome dude !! Liked and subscribed and purchased this camera , winner winner 👍👍🙂

I bought one for my Bee Cool Explorer and put it on the rear rack and bought a handlebar extender. I really like it.

I’d be curious how it holds up off-road. Nice for the ride TO the trail, definitely. Will it still work for the ride home FROM the trail? Thanks for another great vid. Strongly considering one of these b/c I just don’t like the mirrors.

This is really interesting. I would probably use this only when biking downtown where it's really busy. Hard to say until you try it out.

Nice camera and review man. I personally use folding mirrors, although I have thought about something like this, and I would need that crossbar too. That Aerial Rider is beautiful by the way. Thank you sir.

I got one for my Rad Rover 5 and my wife's Rad City. She's a nervous rider and I noticed she wasn't checking her mirrors because she said she didn't want to look to the sides. Now she's much more aware of her surroundings when we ride. I got my camera because my shoulders are super wide being 6'4" and 325lbs and I would still have contort myself to see around me in the mirrors, and that's with both mirrors on the handlebar ends and fully extended out.

definitely gonna check this out. almost a requirement for a bike like the HS2 lol.

Wow this is pretty cool. Thanks for posting.

I'll be buying this today for longterm use.

I use the camera also on my Himiway with the extra bar. I also got the GPS 5 in. Navigator sun screen and it fits like a glove. It clips on and looks like it came with it. Misses all buttons and really helps with sun glare.

What a coincidence! I just got my Super 73 RX delivered last night along with this same exact camera. Took it out for a test this morning and I love it. You are right though....objects appear closer than they seem....and faster. I was busy looking at the camera at an approaching car, and he zipped past me faster than I expected. Maybe I was doing what you were doing...just staring at the screen (I was probably mesmerized at the technology too), when the car came zooming and startled me, even though I knew he was coming. Too bad I bought it before I saw your vid...I would have bought it with your affiliate link. 😢

@@CitizenCycle925 It runs smooth as butter with the dual shocks and it runs pretty fast at 31 mph on a straigh-away. It does lack torque on the low end, as other KZreadrs pointed out. I have a hill near my house, and when I took my Bolton Avenger 500 watt/800-900w peak bike up the hill, I had it on the lowest gear, max throttle + maximum leg power, but it was still hard to pedal. It felt like I was wearing cement shoes and I was only going 5-6 mph. With a running start, I took my RX up the hill WITH pedalling at about 18 mph and it was a breeze. I tested it again at the bottom of the hill, no running start, no pedalling, and it couldn't make it. Torque only kicks in past 10 mph...more after 20 mph. Still, it conquered the hill that I always avoided with my Bolton bike. I think it can conquer most hills, the one caveat is that one needs a running start. Truthfully, after watching your review on the Ariel Rider, I really wanted that bike. After your video showing your shorter wife and niece mount the bike, I was excited to pre-order it, because I'm a short dude. But, I was worried about the higher seat being uncomfortable, and with Super 73 mentioning a torque update in the near future (how near can it be when it's been over a year already), I bought the RX.

I have this for my Magicycle and I bought a 3D printed kit to attach it to the Magicycle, just about to install it.

Thanks for the info. I'm gonna put one on my new ebike. It is a bit disappointing that you made the video 2 yrs ago and in the meantime, no manufacturer seems to have had the foresight to integrate an SD card system into it, to record at the same time. The hardware is already in place and an encoder chip and card slot would be simple additions - one would think.

Yea it's not a bad price eather. Thanks for the info. I like that bike you put it on also.

Thanks for the review, I never knew this existed, I already added the bar so I'm gonna try this.

What do you think about mounting the backup camera under the taillight? It should be fairly straight forward to make a bracket.

Awesome idea!

Got one on order. Now I'll be able to see the cars ride my tail light crystal clearly 😂

I've gone through three mirrors from bike static falls. I like this camera 'cause it can be mounted to be less vulnerable. Three mirrors: fitty bux. 😎

that is great idea for ebike and e scooter more safer than look back ty

Pretty nice camera

That's pretty cool way better than mirrors probably little more aerodynamic to

$147.65 for that camera in Canada. Ouch. Great video ! BTW, how do you charge the battery ? do you remove it ? or do you charge it while it is on the bike with a charger with long cable that connects to it ?

What a cool bike!

I own a Rion and i def need more mods for PEV’s without seats.

I think it would be nice if it had a loop recording in case anything was to happen..

The display is so clear. I like the sound of your ebike running. Sir why is the bench curve in the display when in fact the bench is straight 2:06? Thanks for sharing.

Wow! It works great! I would get one but I don't think I'd have room on my Radrover 5. If anyone has any suggestions for how I could make it work, please let me know. P. S. I have a rear rack.

I have the same camera on my ebike. I just wish it had an sd card slot and would function as a dashcam.

I have this and a mirror, mirror is so much better for viewing cars coming up from behind me. And after 2 months, it only charges to 2 bars. I wouldn’t it again for an ebike. Maybe good as a peephole for the front door.

Thanks!

Been thinking about putting one on my Himiway

The mirros do not work unless you get the real big ones.I had to take my mirrors off because they would never adjust right and it had no magnification like a car mirror.Thanks for this might get one--but sadly i avoid the street at all costs and use the sidewalk.My area the sidewalk is vey sparsely used and we have no bike lanes.

Same as you. I don't want to have to drill holes for the mirrors. Plus I have a twist throttle. W/ Sunlite hard box. I have to lift my arm every time I want to look behind me. I live in Alaska, so I normally have my hood on which makes it hard to see what's beside me. I had no idea these existed! Happened to pop up as I was surfing online store. They only offer two one with a 130 wide angle and one with a 145. Some reason I think the 130 may be better less fisheye? If anyone knows let me know please!

Bought this however routing wire for a step thru bike is cumbersome. Nice cam if you have a regular bike an no step thru, had to send back. Looking for a wireless bluetooth cam

Speaking of accessories....AR released a Tank Bag....after I made a diy with their patches, they do a pro version. Yeh, bought 2. Gives it a better than super 73 look, Check'm out

Ariel rider x class compared to the himi escape bike is definitely different.

The Ariel Rider is more high-speed fun, feels like a little motorcycle, keeps up in traffic no problem. I like them both just depends what you plan on using the bike for I guess.

Good video, but for me, it's way too big. Once I've added the phone for mapping, there isn't much room left for the big screen. I'm still looking for a right handed end bar mirror for mine, as I'm in the UK and we ride on the left

I just Installed the Same camera on my wolf king gt scooter. I couldn't use the mount and did the same just zip tied the camera into the frame.

bro mount the camera underneath the back rack or on the fender or on top of rear light! This def needs some re engineering so you can use the rack...a smart person would market a rack with the camera built into the rack, also be cool if it had a front camera for recording/gps/speedo "all in one"?

yea, i have one of these on my addmotor Ebike trike and i love it ok hehe

Good idea, similar to having a rear view mirror in a car.

Hi! I got this for Father’s Day and I find that the picture is too wide angle thus making the picture kind of small. Btw you have a good amount of space on your handlebars, I spent countless hours finagling the placement of the display and the camera. I have an Lectric XP.

Use likes of cross tour 20 mp action camera( go pro clone I think) comes with diving camera case and still gets fairly good audio quality. Had a pair of this type of camera mounted front and rear on a bike with a modded diving case to power both from an usb power bank while also keeping the cameras shower proof. Only con is have to press record each time you power up system. Some of these cameras have wifi so the rear can be displayed on a phone on handlebars. Great plus to this system is traffic behind can clearly see the camera and most times keeps their distance etc. For racks used to carry bags mount at end over the tail light. That way bags don’t obscure cameras view. Parking bike clip off cameras from mount and put in pocket. I can’t currently make/ upload videos to yt but if you want to get an idea of quality look at Michael kinsella MX02s or Lo26 videos on here. Cheers.

Hey citizen I just got a hyperscrambler 2 about 3weeks ago and I got a go pro and started a channel too looking to join up with a few people to ride

I bought the Feisike, which is more or less the same thing and ended up throwing it in the trash. Visibility with these bike monitors under sun glare is terrible. Colors are so washed-out that it's hard to distinguish the car coming up on you from the background. Distant approaching cars you can't make out at all. I went back to using a mirror. The only safe camera-monitor is the one you can rely on 100% of the time. I might try using a real photography camera monitor like a Portkeys PT6 paired with a cheap action camera.

I have a step thru and need to find an extension cable for this unit. Do you know what type of cable is needed? Is it an audio 3.5 cable? Really would like to buy and install but with the step thru, there's not enough cable to reach from Camera to the Monitor.

Interesting. But I dont think they sell any for Amazon Canada. * Update * Actually they do. But for 146$... 2.3x the US price.

That's cool.

My bike has a USB charger in the phone holder can you keep this connected to charge an use it at the same time

I am big on tech but this is a no-go for me.

Most definitely it's much better you don't have to be looking at mirrors or looking back is the perfect way to ride a bike.
