eBike Rear View Camera

[@BenLondonN6]

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.

[@mattsmith7987]

I've had this on my ebike for like a year now! I love it.

[@brandonboss6868]

How long does the battery usually last?

[@davidhuggins3892]

I think this is a must for an electric bike. Wish the screen was smaller but having said that love the new tech.

[@sozo_jamma1593]

CANT BELIEVE YOURE IN CARY NC!! That's where I lived my entire life...its changed SO much!

[@letanyabaucom951]

I think I need for my new .Quantum edge power wheelchair and I need a camera to look back when I look back.I think this is a good one for me

[@Saddletramp1200]

Hi, you have gained my trust. Just bought the camera system. My bikes are only that clean when they come out of the truck. I have 4. Thanks

[@kwtay1746]

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.

[@BloonChip]

I actually thought about that a few years ago.

[@richardgooding498]

That's what I was thinking about yesterday. It's amazing

[@jorgea3507]

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

[@garysanchezphotography]

That answers my question, thanks.

[@jennifermcnuttmusic6353]

Thanks for showing this! If I can ask, I know how much you were digging your himi, how are you liking this bike compared to your himi.

[@CitizenCycle925]

Ariel rider x class compared to the himi escape bike is definitely different. They are both fun but the Himiway is more comfortable and I have it set up for cruising and running errands with all the bags and racks. 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.

[@paulhendershott667]

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.

[@CitizenCycle925]

Glad they are working out for you! thanks for commenting!

[@charlieredeemed]

I just bought two side-mirrors and a new set of pedals for about $100. I would've much preferred the awesome camera! Awesome video, Sir!!🙏👍

[@tripletvn]

I also regret paying for the rear mirror!!! When it comes to ebikes, cost is less of a criteria, function is.

[@martledbetter237]

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.

[@markweyant3673]

Do you have a pic on how you mounted it on your Himiway...I have the Cruizer

[@jmb00drg]

Question for Mart Ledbetter; Do you have a link to the GPS 5 in. Navigator sun screen that you reference? That would be great to know.

[@teresaweaver6609]

Yes, I was out riding yesterday, it was kind of difficult to keep turning around to see what's behind me because I don't have any rearview mirrors. That's when I thought To myself, I need a solution. After seeing your video I was convinced that I needed a rearview cam. Buying today, thank you, for the insight. Sincerely, Real^Talk

[@brandonboss6868]

Any updates on how well it lasted? And does it work good at night?

[@hgivhan]

Yes I do have one comment about the rearview camera that is how long does it takes before fully charging the camera.

[@deehines5750]

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

[@ohiotalonss9098]

Have it on my wife's X52. I strapped the camera under the brake light. Works great but the screen does take up a lot of realestate on the bars. Gets crowded when adding other gadgets even with the add on extra bar. Think eventually I will get bmx bars put on both of our X52v's.

[@CitizenCycle925]

If I was going to start utilizing the rear rack I'd probably try to mount it under the tail light as well but this works for now 😁

[@teymac8127]

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

[@leeconnerlconner4008]

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.

[@willalwayssurvive]

Thanks, I've been considering one for my e bike and after watching your video I'm sold. Great tutorial 👌

[@yupsure]

I'm definitely buying one of these for my rad rover. Been on the fence on getting rear view mirrors, I just don't want make my bike any wider. I'm just not sure If I have enough room on my handlebars, I got too many other gadgets 😂🤣👍

[@timdavis7567]

I had used one, but I had a hard time seeing my wife riding behind me. This is fish eye lense. I switched to a USB camera that I connect to my phone that I use as a display.

[@JmieYoutube]

Which one are you using?

[@richardgooding498]

Can I get the details on the camera system you are using. Thank you

[@d.s.5807]

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

[@grouchydude3448]

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]

You'll have to let me know how that super 73 RX runs. I have never tried a super 73 bike but I'm sure I will someday. What other gadgets are you going to add to it?

[@grouchydude3448]

@@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 KZbinrs 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.

[@michaelb4512]

Hows the camera in bright sun light?Thanks!

[@donstokes1395]

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

[@calvintanner7897]

I'll be buying this today for longterm use.

[@romantower]

I purchased this camera and sent it back. The resolution was not good on the unit I purchased. Love the concept.

[@CitizenCycle925]

I noticed mine looked a little bit weird at first, and then I noticed I didn't take the clear plastic sticker off the camera, once I did that it was crystal clear.

[@romantower]

@@CitizenCycle925 I DID THAT AND THE RESOLUTION WAS STILL GRAINY. I DONT KNOW IF I JUST GOT A BAD ONE AND SHOULD TRY IT AGAIN OR IF ALL OF THEM ARE THAT WAY.

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 just ordered a mirror for my Raev Bullet X v2. If that doesn't work out I may have to try one of these.

[@frostythebeerman6324]

$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 ?

[@DBRealEstatePhotography]

Glad I came across your video. I purchased this for my escooter and works very well!

[@CitizenCycle925]

Glad you found the video helpful. Cheers!

[@stormywinds6497]

I have a bad neck so looking back for traffic is very hard for me. So I think I’m going to try this. Thanks.

[@CitizenCycle925]

That is one thing I didn't think of but an excellent point, if you have poor neck mobility this might be helpful

[@zakka4real]

Interesting my Ariel Rider X-class came with pre-cut grips with caps on the end - Then again I also got the thumb throttle.

[@TheChrist11]

Great product. Getting one because of your review. Question: I live in NYC, and I'd like to know your opinion on wearing a full face motorcycle helmet, if I ride with the Lectric XPress commuter eBike, do you think I'd look stupid, or should I use the helmet regardless?? Thank 6 for all your hard work ethic on your channel. You're answering brother 💪🙏

[@dethsightgaming]

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

[@lonniepee9804]

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. 😎

[@RajinderYadav]

I am in the same situation as you, need to cut the grips to mount the mirror. I got an escooter so not sure how I would mount it. I love the idea, my own other question is having to take the screen on and off if I decide to run into a store.

[@hidossaji]

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

[@littleripper312]

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.

[@frontier9142]

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

[@altondillon9464]

I'm not sure if you like full face helmets, but I find the GoPro chin mount to be the best mounting position to capture a first person view

[@CitizenCycle925]

I don't like using head mounts because my head is always on the swivel watching for danger. So it makes for a bad camera shot,It's never steady

[@altondillon9464]

@@CitizenCycle925 haha, fair enough 👍

[@patomahony9747]

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.

[@kumyuenchoy5428]

Does it has any other functions? Like front camera or gps or other apps? Is it waterproof?

[@zacharyrivera566]

I've got mirrors on my bike but I'm going to buy one of those rear view cameras any way because you can never have enough safety precautions on the streets.

[@stevetaylor8446]

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

[@rickyn1135]

Very good review. May consider. I want top purchase a camera re camera,since I almost get hit once a day in a Total of 2.5 miles round trip. Mostly ppl that don’t want to use the STOP sign and also the limit line. Too many ppl driving that shouldn’t be.

[@williamalexander5024]

If your commute is that dangerous maybe consider taking a bus.

[@rightpassage]

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!

[@abdelhamiddzpsg837]

Sorry dont uderstand all but candidat you screen the display? Picturale or vidéo

[@khronin]

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.

[@bp6877]

I live in high crime city; the camera would disappear quickly; how easy is it to remove screen from bike? Also, this could potentially be repurposed for affordable night vision for a rifle, presuming targets are at close range. I'll research the camera in search of answers. Thanks for sharing.

[@dukiemoto8676]

👍 because of some neck issues it’s hard getting a good over the shoulder check so I’m currently looking for the best camera and monitor rearview system for my motorcycle(HD, Image stabilizing, wide angle lens, works very good at night, etc.) I’ve subscribed and will keep a lookout for your videos in the hopes you might reviews some more. Thank you for these informative videos they really help🙏

You may have already ordered something but as I was checking out these which I had no idea they made I realized that they do have dual cameras for motorcycles that are ACC.

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"?

[@chadjs74]

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

[@ChuckMastersonHQ]

I'm only interested if it records. I'd make my own glare shield since they didn't use anti-reflective screen. Does the bike make coffee? Cause it sounds like it is grinding coffee beans.

[@TheBelldiver]

Do they make one with record and store capability. The monitor is handy if it recorded as well. I might want to record scenery or some nitwit tailgating or hitting me.

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.

[@DanhRichardson]

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.

[@lucadya]

Great idea because I’m suffering from a bit of vision loss so my e bike is now my shopper and ride around everywhere so how good would that screen do in a bit of rain and how easy is it to take off if I went into a store during the winter?

I'm not sure how water resistant the screen is but it does have a quick release so you can remove it easily from the mounting bracket

[@box.10]

"mirrors" not "mirror's"

[@trwashere5906]

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.
