Between the Navi and CT125/Trail, the main factor is whether you want to go off-road ever, and if the extra 5 or so mph of top speed is worth it. I haven’t actually seen the Super Cub in person, at dealers I have mostly only seen the Navi and Monkey recently.

@@thevideozone thanks

The acceleration feels a little better and it feels like you can exceed 45 mph far more easily on the Trail. The fastest I have had it so far was 56 mph I think, I had been holding off to really test it until after the first service. It’s basically double the price, so the main difference is if you want the off-road capabilities. The Trail being fuel injected and having LED lights is an upgrade as well, and you can control the gears, but I still probably wouldn’t take the Trail on roads that I avoided on the Navi. Sure you can do 55mph+ on flat ground, but that’s completely flat out full throttle, so I wouldn’t want to be on roads with high speed limits on either, as being in the right lane as people whiz by non stop usually isn’t fun. For me it was worth the upgrade, but for lower speed cruising on city roads and streets, they’d both work well, you just get some more updated tech on the Trail. The Trail also has no passenger seat, not that a bike that size is comfortable for two people really.

I will probably not be hitting 10k miles anytime soon, but I do plan to get some serious rides in. The shifter for the bike took me a minute to get used to when I picked it up, to realize that you could hold the shifter up or down to keep the clutch engaged so you could try to match the revs to the shift if needed. Now it’s kind of second nature.

Thanks, I’ll have to explore more then. I didn’t go super far down Taylorsville Rd since the speed limit goes up in parts to 55mph, and the Navi wasn’t quite able to keep up at those speeds. Are there any specific roads to check out?

I still only have around 300 miles on the bike, so I haven’t ridden it a ton yet or gone to any bike events, but it could have been me. These bikes are super fun though, it is interesting now that you can tell the year of the bikes by the color.

I went on a few group rides over the past few years, but it has tapered off a bit in the past year or two. I found that through the Facebook group for electric riders of louisville. I think people have more stuck to just going for rides with friends who have the same kind of e-vehicle (EUCs, onewheels, etc.). Those usually went across the Big 4 to the Ohio River Greenway in Indiana. The Big 4 has signs now saying electric scooters/skateboards/etc. aren’t allowed anymore though.

Yeh, there are some places I’d love to take mine, but I’m not sure if I want to make the super long trip required if you’re not taking highways.

Yeh, when I had the Navi it topped out around 50mph, and was sketchy even on 45mph roads. I think something that can do 55mph consistently would probably be safe enough most places.

The Segway X260 is I think $6,499 now, I got mine for way way less than that a few years ago. It’s the same thing as the Surron, those can be found for I think 3-4 grand now.

Locust Grove is a very cool looking place.

Yeh, the bike is super comfortable to cruise in the 30 and 40 mph range, even if it can do more. I bet it’s a great bike to have around an area with a beach.

I’m really enjoying it a lot. I liked the Navi, but the extra bit of off-road capability is very nice. It just has a 4 speed automatic transmission, so that is the only thing to deal with. I have mostly ended up keeping it in 2nd on most mid-low speed off road trips. It has minimal controls with the auto shifter, front/rear brakes, turn signal indicator, horn, high/low beam headlight button, and kill switch. It’s rather similar to the Navi in that regard aside from the shifter and having the digital speedo. The Trail doesn’t have the parking brake thing the Navi has though, it just has no lever on the left side since there is no clutch.

I was excited to actually find one in stock somewhere

Thanks, the ride was pretty fun and stress free

Yeh, for city cruising and commuting the Navi is great, I just really love having the additional off road capability now

The Navi is 110cc with a cvt transmission and for the street only. The Trail is 125cc and has a 4 speed automatic shifter (no clutch) and it can go off-road. It’s also fuel injected and has modern LED lights and better instrumentation, whereas the Navi has a carb and cheap lights. In terms of all motorcycles, the Trail 125 is more for leisure and fun, you shouldn’t take it on highways as it tops out 55mph-ish.

Since the road to the top is typically closed, there aren’t usually many people at the top at night most days. When recording this, I did run into a person or two, but they were just walking their dogs. I wouldn’t recommend most people go walking alone in parks at night regardless of location, but I wasn’t too concerned since I was on the scooter that could do around 20 mph.

I am incredibly skeptical of anything paranormal or supernatural myself, but I do find it interesting and figured it would be worth it to cover the urban legend related to the park that had been shared for decades.

Yeh, and there are a lot of cool small bikes out now

Yeh, I haven’t actually attended in a long time at the riverfront area, so it was interesting to see what the set up looks like now, and I was somewhat surprised I was allowed to go through everywhere on the bike without issue.

Thanks for watching!

As someone who has visited the park multiple times a week for at least the past decade, is there anything specific from the video you take issue with? Unfortunately some violence has taken place there in more recent times, and I linked to news articles for anything discussed in the video notes in relation to that, nothing was made up. As for the urban legends, I was conveying what I had heard over the years as that kind of stuff can be interesting, but indicated that I didn’t necessarily believe any of the legends. The park is still a beautiful place that I visit at least a few times a week. In any public park that covers a lot of space inside of an urban city, you will have occasional crime and violence, so there’s nothing specific about the park that is unsafe, and really nothing you could do to 100% prevent that from happening. I obviously feel safe enough there to go around and record videos at night. I tried to be as respectful as possible while discussing things, and I don’t think I shared anything that was inaccurate.

Thanks! I do like to be extra careful when out riding, too many distracted drivers out there.

Gotta take advantage when the weather is nice

I remember some of us partying up there in the middle of the night. I never heard, saw, or heard of anything spooky

@TheJaydonone I think in all truth, the only thing scary you might encounter at the top of the park at night is people. I have gone up there a number of times and it has always been fine. I still take precautions though visiting any isolated spot like that at night though.

They are great little commuter bikes, that’s for sure. Regardless of the gas prices, it’s a super cheap fill up.

Thanks, and I’ll have to do that in something upcoming, it’s difficult without briging an extra camera to grab some footage but I can figure something out. I have the original DJI Mic kit that I use for audio, and I just clip one of those onto the chest mount with the windscreen thing on it and record the audio to the internal storage the mics have and then I sync the audio in editing. When I’m on a motorcycle using a full face helmet, I can also clip the DJI Mic inside the helmet to get audio that way as well. I used an Insta360 One R 1” edition for the front camera, and an Insta360 Ace Pro for the rear camera. I had a camera backpack on that I used to house all of the stuff, so I clipped the Ace Pro camera to the back of the backpack.

​@@thevideozone Thank you for the information. I wanted to document my rides. I enjoyed how you narrated your videos. I appreciate your efforts to share your part of the world with us.
