To be honest, I think those are excuses for 1 of 2 things. They don’t have the skill or confidence to do it or they’re too cheap to order a 60” roll of film required to tint the glass. The angle of the windshield is not really any different than any other windshield so it isn’t completely horizontal facing the sun. Now days a lot of glass is laminated so I’m not buying that excuse either. The film we use is Llumar and has one of the highest heat reductions on the market. We’re in Northern California and summers we see multiple weeks over 100+ degrees. Sometimes over 110. I guess my question to them would be, what’s the difference on doing a back window on a model 3 then? Most people do dark shades on the back windows which have a higher heat absorption than what would be installed on a front windshield so why is the back window ok but not the windshield?

@@ADayintheLifeofMr23 thank you, I agree it sounds like an excuse of talent..

@laurencel.7980 also, giving them the benefit of the doubt….I don’t want to be out here bashing other tint shops….to some shops the risk might not be worth the reward. The amount of time it takes to do one of those windshields, depending on the skill of the tinters, they could possibly tint 1-2 additional cars. So from a profits standpoint it might not make as much sense to them to do it. Especially because they may only get a handful of those per year so spending time and resources on such a rare thing they might not see as benefitting them. So rather than them just saying “no” they take the route of making an excuse to sorta save face. With that being said….Llumar is very good at communicating known issues to us and all the shops that use their film to make us aware of potential issues like glass breakage or things like that. So far as of now there have been no warnings issued about the possibility of the windshield cracking due to tint being installed. You could always take a road trip out to Norther California. We’d be happy to tint it for you. 😂

We used a 60” for it. It is slightly larger top to bottom than it is side to side. So it has to roll out side to side for a 60”. That’s why we had to rotate the film in the video after we rolled it out.

It was a 50% film that was installed on the glass.

Thank you! No, we are actually in California.

It has! Thanks for still being around. I have a love hate relationship with KZbin. Haha. I love making content just dislike how they do smaller channels sometimes.

Glad I could help! Don’t beat yourself up, I’m sure majority of people think the same. I just couldn’t justify spending the amount BMW wanted for a simple piece of glass/plastic. Thanks for watching! 🙌🏼

Thanks for watching! Glad I could help.

Not initially. The manufacture claimed they were all ready to use. But after they sat for a few weeks without being used they were very squishy and not as responsive. So they did have to be bled then.

Glad I could help! Thanks for watching!

@@ADayintheLifeofMr23 Hah, finally got the core in. Combination of techniques used. WD40, Couple of flat head screw drivers. Plastic tie wraps to one side of the tire and core to keep them together and from slipping out. And a right foot sneaker on the other side pressing down.

@DocMicrowave nice work! It’s funny the irony in it all. The solid tires was the main selling point for me…..and after changing them, when it comes time to change them again I will be selling the scooter. 😂

Sorry for the F up but glad you found the channel so I could help you fix it for cheap! Appreciate you watching and taking time to comment. 🙌🏼

The bike itself is great. It’s still working fine. I just do simple maintenance like grease the chain and service the brakes. Other than that it’s been a very solid bike for me. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed with it. It’s a great entry level bike.

I love it. You do get a slightly more bumpy ride with the solid tires but the shocks on the scooter do a great job at absorbing some of that. I don’t ever feel uncomfortable on the tires. I think you will be very happy with it. Thanks for watching.

@@ADayintheLifeofMr23 What is the real range on 15 miles per hour ? what battery capacity is urs ? i want buy the one of 24 i need for about 40 miles i not need big speed only range

@laurala90 I have the 18ah battery. Mine claims up to 40 miles using single motor and gear 1. Top speed is about 12-14mph in that mode. I believe you could get close to the 40 miles for sure. I did a range test with both motors and gear 3. Top speed of 33-34mph and was able to get about 18 miles….so I think it would be safe to assume using less than half the power of the scooter would get you at least double that range if not more, especially if you’re getting the 24ah battery

@@ADayintheLifeofMr23 i got one and cant tight the handlebar + both weels make noise now when it charge is at 85.6 and still red

@@ADayintheLifeofMr23 after 1 week the brakes died u had this problem?

Glad to hear you found a good alternative. Comfort definitely can be subjective. What’s good for some might not be for others. Thanks for watching, appreciate you!

Hello. I did another video on upgrading the hydraulic brakes. It wasn’t too bad of a process but I do show how I was able to do it all in the video. Hope that helps. Thanks!

Hello. The bike still works great! I’ve gone through a few pairs of brake pads but other than that it’s been a really solid bike. Of course, proper maintenance will make the bike last a lot longer, but for an entry level bike you won’t be disappointed. Thanks for watching!

Hey there. As far as I know that’s all they sell is just the glass. So you would attach it directly to the backing plate you currently have. You’ll have to break away any old broken glass to get a clean surface but yes this should be a good solution for you. Thanks for watching!

Haven’t had a single issue. The last 2 winters where I live have been very wet as well and everything is holding great. Summers get 100+ degrees regularly as well. Not a bad thing to say about them. Appreciate you!

@@ADayintheLifeofMr23 Thanks for the reply. Placing my order today.

The heating function of the mirror works perfectly fine. So sorry to disappoint you.

Thank you! I still have my 8x but I rarely ride it now….unfortunately. It’s such a fun time but I’ve moved to the next town over and there aren’t as many trails here. Thanks for watching!

@@ADayintheLifeofMr23 hey thanks for replying boss scooter 8x so what about just going to the shops that's what I use mine for mostly. But I still have fun on it the police stopped me and asked me if they could get a ride 😂😂 can you imagine it really causes a buzz where I am. Not many people can afford it here

Yeah, that was crazy how far it went in. The 8x has always had solid tires so it’s all I’ve really known. You can definitely feel the road but it isn’t something that’s super uncomfortable. Even on long rides the solid tires are good.

@@ADayintheLifeofMr23 hey what I have noticed is it with the Solid tire at the back it skids a lot specially in the rain so I can imagine having a solid Tire at the front I'm going to stick with a pneumatic tires for now and I'm looking at the off-road tires

Sorry for the delay. The ventilation works well. When snowboarding you’re usually using a decent amount of energy so you don’t notice the cold as much. But riding the scooter at night sometimes I will also wear a ski mask underneath because the airflow is really good. Thanks for watching

Hello! Nothing major has happened. The bike has been very reliable for me. The freewheel on the rear wheel likely isn’t the highest quality and the cranks aren’t the greatest either, but they absolutely get the job done. The cranks make a little knocking noise and the freewheel just sounds like the bearings aren’t very lubricated. Both easy and relatively inexpensive upgrades as well. But overall I still recommend this bike. Thanks for watching.

My mirrors didn’t have that feature to begin with and I don’t believe I mentioned that in the video. What I mentioned was the heating function for the defroster in the mirror, which will still function with this option. Thanks

@@ADayintheLifeofMr23 I thought the 2 wire was heated and 3rd wire is for auto dim?

@DarkJuggalo86 I didn’t look up the specs from BMW so you may be correct. The wire for mine might just ground out and doesn’t actually do anything. Perhaps that way they wouldn’t have to manufacture multiple wire harnesses for different models that didn’t include dimming mirrors.

@@ADayintheLifeofMr23 the double-sided tape insulates the glass from the heating element, so goodbye heating

@GheorgheTalpaGT it absolutely does not. The tape doesn’t cover the entire glass. The strips provided are extremely thin. My glass has not fogged since this has been applied. Again, I’m very sorry to disappoint you. Sucks being wrong, but you are.

Ruroc has a lot of different lenses to choose from. Changing them takes less than 30 seconds. It’s a really great system. I don’t have a single bad thing to say about this helmet. Thanks for the comment!

@@ADayintheLifeofMr23 yeah but they are very pricy... The 30€ shipping costs is really hard

@pesodesigns731 ok, so I do have one bad thing to say about them. Haha. You are very correct. The prices for them are a little high it seems. They are a quality product tho but I totally understand what you’re saying.

@@ADayintheLifeofMr23 haha thank you man. I Googled about them. I wanted to find them anywhere for much less Money. No Chance

@@ADayintheLifeofMr23 ah yeah one question. How good are they Standard Lens which are include? How good are they on really Sunny days ?

Hello, yes those were the stock bars that it came with.

Thanks so much! Glad to have you on board. I love these helmets. All their designs are so awesome! Let me know how you like yours.

Hell yeah! Glad I could help. I can’t believe how much some of these companies charge for glass. 😤

So glad to hear I was able to help out! The creaking sound is so annoying when you’re riding. Stay safe out there!

Thanks for the suggestion. How do you make them?

@@ADayintheLifeofMr23 i just did my final tests.. I just need a slight adjustment to the shocks and they preform great! 47 mp/h tested. Compared to tires with tubes their take off and slow down is faster. The battery drain is not yet noticable..but i will test that further in a few days. (I gave the front and rear shocks a 180° loosen and they are hitting too hard.. im gonna dial it in though for an exact °

Wow, 47 mph is so fast! That’s really cool. Thanks for the update. I’ll definitely check it out.

Thanks for watching and commenting! 🙌🏼

Nothing that is super noticeable. The suspension arms do have some play in them so it does move somewhat but nothing that feels abnormal. If you’ve removed the wheels I would check the washers to make sure they are locked in. Hopefully it’s something simple like that….

Yes and yes! I actually ordered the wrong size at first, and they were very accommodating with it. Very fast response from customer service. Make sure you measure your mirror first before choosing….there is a restocking fee if you mess up like I did and order the wrong one. Seeing that it was my fault, I can’t be too mad about that but just make sure you get that diagonal measurement of the glass before you order. Thanks for watching!

Hello. The shop I work for has 2 locations in Northern California. One in Elk Grove California and the other in Roseville California.

@@ADayintheLifeofMr23 Ah you’re up north. I’m in LA. Love your work! Keep it up, my guy!

Thank you very much! 🙌🏼

The plastic panel that covers the lights is held in by clips so you just need to give it a good tug and it will release. The brake light has 2 plastic slides that hold it on to the back window. I use a trim removal tool and wedge it between the brake light and the plastic slides and it comes loose. Once both are released the brake light just comes off. Hope that helps!

Thanks for watching and commenting! This is a message from the seller: “I don't have the exact measurements available but the stem clamp diameter is around 26mm and the bar ends are 22.2mm. I suggest getting a more standard stem with 31.8 bar clamp so you can use more handlebars” I’ve thought about getting some drop bars for mine too. Let me know what you end up doing I’m curious to see how it works out for you. Thanks again!
