2024 Wired Cruiser - Night Ride

[@oregonebikermark8953]

Stumbled upon your channel, New subscriber. Good video and I like the green color on your Wired Cruiser.

[@EnergizedZonie]

Thank you Mark! I am a fan of your videos and admire the amount of content you create.

@@EnergizedZonie Thanks!

​@@EnergizedZonieI just looked it up. This green color is literally the most visible color to humans. I ride with a headlamp flashlight on my forehead so it's always lit towards what I'm looking at, since headlights can't look around dark corners at night. I also use a red strobe on the rear. Most cars change lanes way in advance when they see the red strobe. Your lighted pedals look pretty cool though.

Really nice video. Love the pedals! Thanks!

[@EnergizedZonie]

Glad you like them! Thanks for watching.

Great nighttime video Zonie!

[@EnergizedZonie]

I’m glad you liked it! Thanks for leaving a comment!

a reflective vest and relective tape on our helmets [ white front, red rear ] kept my friends and i alive for many years on our night rides.

[@EnergizedZonie]

Great idea! Any precautions we can take to be seen day or night is beneficial.

[@justabiker1958]

good night time video

[@EnergizedZonie]

I appreciate the response, thanks!

[@luigiprovencher]

I just ordered and received two chain guards for the front of mine and I haven't even got mine,yet. I guess they're going to wait until the last minute to send them out which would be Monday.

[@EnergizedZonie]

Would mind sharing your link? I looked on Amazon last night and could only find high end single sided guards for around $70-$80 each.

[@luigiprovencher]

@@EnergizedZonie I've tried sharing it multiple times but KZbin must keep on deleting it.

[@EnergizedZonie]

That’s ok. Thanks for trying.

[@orvillecooper8334]

And by the way that is a good video I Like It safety first thank you very much

[@EnergizedZonie]

Glad you liked it.

[@hottamalekid3502]

Thank you for the video! Love those pedals, but $150 is too rich for my blood. Don't do enough night riding to justify. Hopefully they'll come way down in price.

[@EnergizedZonie]

I'm glad you liked it. Those pedals are very pricey. It took me a while to pull the trigger.

[@jodyclarke7481]

Im curious, that clicking noise seems pretty loud on the video. I’m wondering if all the wired e bikes make that noise?

[@EnergizedZonie]

I hope not. It was a very distracting front brake rotor misalignment noise. Luckily I was able to fix it or at least hope I did. 🤞

[@justinwhite2951]

What is the noise? The rear battery

[@EnergizedZonie]

Thanks for the question. The front brake caliper was misaligned with the rotor.

[@luigiprovencher]

What's that clicking sound?

[@EnergizedZonie]

It was a brake rotor rub on the caliper.

[@orvillecooper8334]

Do you know after you turn the headlight on and you press the button again the rear light blinks

[@EnergizedZonie]

I was not aware. Thanks for the heads up.

[@raybailey4831]

Flashing pedals looks like the police. lol

[@wahru3357]

that clicking noise might be a rock lodged in your tire tread.

[@EnergizedZonie]

It turned out to be a front brake rotor rub.

[@90-minutebookvideo77]

What's the clicking noise?

[@EnergizedZonie]

The front brake rotor was slightly out of alignment with caliper and brake pads. I was able to repair it myself with some slight tweaking of the caliper. It was very annoying though.

[@swolaver1]

How does that constant knocking or clicking noise not drive you crazy.

[@EnergizedZonie]

I fixed it or at least I fixed it for now. Believe me, it drove me crazy. I may look calm in the video, but I was super pissed on the inside. The front brake caliper was hitting the brake rotor in one location during the rotation. The fix was micro adjustments on the brake caliper and pads. KZbin's endless "How to" videos provided the answer.

[@davemacintyre2069]

you need more body light

[@EnergizedZonie]

Thanks for the comment. You are right. I had something rigged up, but I didn’t like the way it looked in the video.

[@rickalta2770]

Sorry bud😂. But I can't even see the video... We want info and close-ups on the bike not blackness

[@EnergizedZonie]

Thanks for the feedback. You have a good point.

[@rickalta2770]

But I still liked your video.

[@powerguymark]

​@@EnergizedZonieI think it's appropriate to be in a dark area when you are trying to demonstrate lighting or lack thereof...
