RECUMBENT TRIKE and TRAILER 2.0 | JAYOE WORLD TOUR

[@bobcatt2294]

I am impressed you are able to respond to messages a video of 2015.

[@KKhhoorrnniittee]

Admirable. Drowningly mouthwatering. Not a thing to disagree with. Maybe I'm just overimpressed. Very much impressed.

[@LawrenceBroussard]

I like the detail you put your trike together with beside it being fun. How you set up the drone was great.

[@GaryESims]

For every bad situation there are many good things to come of it.... 2.0, you got it down brother. Thanks for all you do to let us travel with you, Ja Yoe!!!

[@JaYoeNation]

+Gary E. Sims your welcome gary... thanks for watching.

[@isaackarjala7916]

For the trailer brakes you should look at automatic trailer brakes. Basically, you have a hydraulic master brake cylinder built into the hitch mechanism, when the hitch gets compressed by the trailer overrunning the tow vehicle the brake cylinder also gets compressed applying the brakes.

[@stephenh.3094]

This was one of the coolest videos I've ever seen. What an ingenious setup. I think you've thought of everything and the quality looks top notch. I especially liked the quick connect hydraulic brakes and the dual sided yolk trailer assembly. I'm currently riding a couple recumbent with standard Co-pilot trailers. I love this lifestyle and I'm getting my 2 boys into it quite a bit too. Subscribed, liked and will be following intently!

[@makkusu_220]

Just wanted to say that you are an inspiration and look forward to the videos of your adventures on your world grand tour.

[@velvetvideo]

Great setup. Thanks for sharing your build. That trailer is FANTASTIC. A small front wheel for use as a grocery cart would make it perfect. I'm currently seriously thinking of ditching my vehicle for a do-it-all bike setup. I'm over 50 and was rendered homeless in part by the 2020 fires and I need something like an e-assist off-road farm utility truck-bike to get groceries and stay fit. I'm undecided about what to choose. I'm looking at quads like TrikExplor and Pony4...... tadpoles like yours, but with fat tires for beachcombing, or a delta like the Hase Kettweisel or Chooch. The options out there are staggering. I'm sick of our expensive, disposable, car-centric culture and want to do my part in changing the world for the bettter. Bicycle RV's are plentiful in places like Germany. I'd love to see more people develop these. For awareness I think everyone should watch "Stroads" by Not Just Bicycles.

[@JaYoeNation]

yea.... america is very auto centric.. thats for sure.

[@velvetvideo]

what is the most bike friendly place you've ridden inside and outside of the US?@@JaYoeNation

[@tyclark8162]

Awesome machine n video sir. I'd say this video of yours should be mandatory for all strikers large n small. Best trike video all time. Thank you Ty

Love your set-up. I reckon that even an old bugger like me could get around on something like what you have put together there - very impressive. If ever you get to Kalgoorlie in Western Australia in your travels - I'd love to catch up.

sure you could.. but you are not a old bugger... its all a mental thing... inside.. im 25... forever.. ;) deal when i am over there.

Awesome video. Miss the trike tour

[@antonanderson3645]

So glad you are posting this. I have an HPV Scorpion plus 20 on order to be shipped to The Bicycle Man this coming week. I had it painted yellow for visibility purposes so I'm glad to see your decision affirming this. Also glad to have your specific comments about components. I will learn more as I ride, but am glad to see you recommend the stand up helpers and that you have the neck rest attached. I opted out of those, but am thinking I need to add them. Much food for thought in your postings and excellent video quality. Thanks. When you get to Cape Cod, let's go for a ride!

What a wondrous adventure on a way-cool piece of machinery! Happy trails my friend.

[@JaYoeNation]

thanks!

[@colinnorthcott9219]

I know its 7 years ago but that trailer would sure make a handy table for camping and living on the road.

[@ericdoberstein8872]

Man that is a complicated set up! I've ridden across the US and through the mountains of California and Oregon and then back to my home in southern California along the west coast. In both tours I road my 2005 Catrike Trail with just a rear rack and some Arkel pannier bags. Even with a simple set up like that I had some problems. Of course the only movie I was making was in my mind.

[@JaYoeNation]

Eric Doberstein the joy I’d travel is making mistakes and going out the way you want too. So many different ways to ride and stories to tell

[@Toby10]

hello, 😉👍 you hear the company in Germany, not the replacement of my trailer. equal to yours. I need the automatic brake fitting. that colega the Trailer to the bike. you show it in the video as well. can you help me find him new!? puk too much mine at the airport year overpaid, at the moment of unloading. 😭

[@SpiderMike]

Matt, your main challenge is not weather, fatigue, or even mud splashing up... it's the thousands of vehicles that not only need to see you but navigate around that beautiful, but WIDE trailer. Your cute little yellow flag and yellow frame are woefully inadequate. You need a BIG yellow and red reflector on the back of that trailer. Something like the Amish put on the back of their buggies.

[@6maxgrinder549]

Mike, the trailer is slightly wider than shoulder width.

[@kokopelli314]

I spend a lot of time on the road with various bikes. The biggest problem is not visibility. In spite of what people SAY about my visibility, the way people ACT is that they see me just fine, but feel entitled to take stupid chances when passing. This applies to about 10% of drivers. In my opinion, ALL automobile operators should be required to pass annual tests and a 1m safe zone around cyclists should be enforceable with heavy fines or loss or driving privileges.

[@dehoedisc7247]

Mike Buettell There are many unfortunate persons of the Amish persuasion who are injured or killed every year, so the use of their substantial red reflective device is No Assurance of safety.

[@bobbending]

We used Arkel 'bent' panniers on our Hase Pino for our 2012 End to End in the UK. Even with waterproof covers, stuff inside still got damp, so I suggest - unless they have improved the design - you wrap crucial content inside plastic bags. Jiayou!

[@JaYoeNation]

Of course. Everything in the panniers will be in dry bags. It's the trailer that I will depends on to keep things really dry

[@cheseenlo]

Matt im glad to see you back on the road ! good luck on your journey ! still waiting for you to swing by nyc to get that cold beer at the end of your journey. well that's if your trip still swings by NYC

[@JaYoeNation]

+William Duong ill be there.... but you may have to wait a while.... about 100 countries in front of the states.

[@daveyJ213]

Brother, I hardly know what to say. My first trip this coming summer will be to a local campsite and back, about 120 miles round trip. I'm so far from all of that technicality my head is spinning. I do really love the trailer. That would be great for mounting a solar panel for battery charging. Have fun and BE CAREFUL out there. God bless.

[@AB-jc3gd]

as a girl with a normal urban rental apartment i envy you all for the place to have such equipment... i cannot let this stay overnight on the sidewalk ...

[@Beatles5]

So nice to see your video! Aidoo trailer is somthing I'm going to look at closer. I have already 4 trailers from different manufacturers. /Sweden

[@JaYoeNation]

they are awesome.. just a bit heavy... thats all

[@Beatles5]

@@JaYoeNation I always use e-bikes so the weight is less important :-)

[@perujoventv]

You must be the most happy man around the world, that machine is awesome!!

[@davidklein1667]

I think it would be too cool for the drone to deploy on the fly! Mebbe in the movies! Just wanted to complement and thank you for your inspiration! I'm getting ready to tour Pa. On a fat ebike. Also I'm 64, handicapped....should be interesting.

[@Gimpdiggity]

The drone box blew my mind. The whole video I was thinking about where I would carry my Phantom with me if I were going on a trek of some type...then you opened that hardshell and there it was. Amazing setup you've got there!!!

[@JaYoeNation]

took me a while to find one that fit to convert it over. Hindsight, i would like to find a box that would allow me the ability to store the drone with the props attached, so i dont have to assemble the drone every time.

[@Gimpdiggity]

I looked long and hard for a storage solution that kept the props on the quad, but ultimately found that most of the options out there in some way, shape, or form ended up putting some pressure on the blades from the egg-shell foam in the top of the case. This pressure, over time, I've been told can cause the props to very slightly warp. Now, I'm not sure if that's actually true or not...and if you're using the quad regularly it probably wouldn't be a problem...but for me it was enough to steer me away from storage with the props on. I'd rather take a few seconds to thread them on then end up with the quad not flying correctly due to some slightly misshaped props.

[@jeeprubicon6650]

I love it. I just purchased my first trike and can’t wait to start using it. It’s a used recumbent trike and needs some work, but I can’t wait to dig into it. It’s all aluminum from americruiser, had dual disk brakes and 20-inch wheels all around. It was $300 so it obviously a fixer upper. Can’t wait!

[@kiririel7181]

...♥the trike & trailer, how much to get all that as it is, regular seat be 👌,no drone, yes storage ... do you make a 🐴 run with your violin... thanks great video.

[@jimhuskins8506]

I see that this video is six years old. Hope the tour went well. I love the trailer. Is anyone producing it? I love the idea of recumbent trikes, but I’ve never ridden one. Your approach to touring is radically different than mine, but I’m glad it works for you. That level of expense and gadgetry would oppress me. I wish you all the best.

[@curbowman]

Right now, in July 2022, Matt has built a brand new trike, a custom made AZUB with a lot of cool stuff: full suspension, 26" tires all around, and no trailer! It turns out that current technology allows him to have smaller equipment for his videos. kzbin.info/www/bejne/j6XUZ3eKm5mpbck

[@shepatown]

I love this setup! If you haven't thought of it yet, you might want to consider mounting an AIRZound horn just below the brake handle so you can alert cars of your presence just by pressing down the ball of your hand on the trigger. I have had one on my trike and can brake and blast the horn simultaneously. It's so loud that I was able to alert cars behind me approaching from around a blind curve while riding in Yosemite - they slowed down and gave me the clearance I needed.

[@KKhhoorrnniittee]

Absolutely necessary bit of kit. I second that.

[@MaryMac199]

That is incredible, found the tour of the trike I asked for. Well thought out, especially the hydraulic trailer breaks!

[@StellarFella]

The Scorpion Plus gives you a higher sitting posture that allows you to be seen easier and SOONER. LONG DOUBLE WHIPS in the rear will let you connect the parallel whips to each other to keep them from scissoring. It will also give you a convenient place to put a super bright flashing light pointed backwards at the 6 ft. high or higher level. This gives ALL stacked up and impatient drivers behind you a super early opportunity to see you OVER the tops of the preceding vehicles. One of the most dangerous traffic scenarios involves stacked up vehicles quickly coming up behind you and during a rushed time of day. Morning, end of lunch hour, and late afternoon.

[@allenscantland4283]

A very sweet pimped out Tricycle, so many practical applications.

[@MrPemabenza10]

I love the setup of your trailer and regarding scorpion FS 20, its probably the best touring trike. Wish you a successful tour .

[@jamespahl6401]

jayoe- did adding the disc brakes make the width a bit wider???? Thinking of adding brakes to my Burley, as it seems to me ,going now steep mountain passes could push rear trike wheel sideways....etc

[@aikiwolfie]

Did you have brakes on all three wheels on the trike? Could have been done with a second cable splitter.

[@JaYoeNation]

+Kevin Lynch I have brakes on the trailer, and the two front tires. the rear wheel has a parking brake.

[@flpirate45]

Super set up,I love it.

[@lblive]

Can I get similar equipment(including trike and other parts) from Chinese local companies?

[@wright67]

Awesome whip Sir, very nicely thought out.

[@rossbrumby1957]

I especially like the side bags within reach while riding. Are they insulated enough for ice and drinks for a full day trip or do they have a version that caters for that?

[@GavTatu]

1:40 i live on a small island, with small roads.... i ride a few recumbent bikes, but this is why i would be reluctant to ride a trike. i know they not much more than shoulder width, and drivers should be giving me a wide berth anyway.... but in reality, they often don't.

[@williefaison3200]

Wow! I'm gotten nothing done today.... I'm just mesmerized over everything I've watched concerning you, and your HP Trike experiences. I'm just getting into trikes, and wanted to go after the Pedelec but after seeing how you're doing it I'm having some second thoughts. I'm ready to order my Scorpion 26 fs now but I'm really thinking about spending the extra money to electrify it in a different way now. Your Videos Have Been Game Changers 4 Me.... Keep up the great work. I'm Subscribing.

[@JaYoeNation]

+Willie Faison haha.. thanks willie... glad you enjoyed. I am actually considering some type of electrical assist as well. let me know what you decide on. and make sure when you get your HP you let the person you buy it from know you learned a lot about them from my videos. :)

[@williefaison3200]

I'm going to consult with Brian Goocher, he works at Jack's Bike Shop in Dearborn, MI. I'm going to build it and set it up to tour the trails around the City, and film the 2016 Dream & Gratiot Cruises. So yes I'm taking notes form you. Brian told me that they use a different brand than the Go Swiss, so I'll fill you in on all the details of the set up they do use when I see him next week. Maybe I can get a senior citizen discount for using your name lol, as for we 're all following you, as your continue to do your thing. I just sit back and imagine the possibilities! It's a leap of faith for me to go out there and buy that Trike but I'm going to roll it everywhere I go. Godspeed and safe travels my friend.

Love your video! Small question - why not using fat tiers?? Thank you!

[@JaYoeNation]

hey thanks... first the tires will not work on my trike frame setup... second fat tires have a lot more weight and friction on the road.

[@gerdontheboat]

You are going to give us all a serious case of GAS (gear acquisition syndrome) with your video... As a fellow trike traveller on a much smaller scale I do have an idea of the weight and windage penalty you are giving yourself, and it is really good to see you look so fit and healthy ;-) Get going, we will follow you every mile!

Wow! Just watching for the first time, and it’s Sept 2nd, 2018! Safe travels

[@jimisan2011]

A better equipped trike for your 2nd world tour. But my only concern with the trailer behind you is whether it's reflective enough when you're triking at night. Those heavy vehicles in the highways are driving fast and avoid being hit the 2nd time..

[@StellarFella]

Those were the days! Before your accident and before your knees suffered deterioration. Many lessons learned and many adventures consummated.

[@xyzxyx1299]

I think since it's a trike with dedicated suspension, and even weight distribution... There's no need for air tyres. U can use a pager thinner tyre with solid tyre like tannus tyre. It will stay puncture free so that it's perfect for tours without fear of puncture

Definitely a cool setup. 👍🏼 A mobile movie studio on 3 wheels! I would like to try a recumbent trike for touring someday. But right now for me a regular 2 wheeled bike works better for me. Just more mobile easier to transport via plane. Plus I like being able to bring my bike into hotel rooms when touring. I would imagine a trike set up like that requires some extra care. I’d be nervous to leave it outside while sleeping in my room. Anyway, i really enjoy your channel. And I know i will try a trike someday down the road. Cheers.

Not sure if this site gets monitored anymore and perhaps it's been asked/answered before but just curious, not counting any freebies or discounts provided by manufacturers what is the total cost do you think of your trike and trailer (not the drone) for your 2.0 trip? Also with all the high end components did you have any issues with replacement parts or repair availability along the way?

[@JaYoeNation]

I ditched the trailer after a few thousand km due to my knee tearing up on me. Most of the other components were great. I did upgrade the gearing somewhat. You can search my videos for schlumpf and see the most current ones. As for cost.... I keep that to myself. You can find most of that info with a few calls. It was not cheap.

[@seanmelvin5115]

Hello all. Former road now ultra runner. Looking into trike. I know this setup is not for speed but with so many viewing hoped someone would be able to tell me on a trike such as an ice vtx what type of average speed could you hold? Could you keep up with a road bike group ride?

So do you lean forward and press the front gear button whilst in motion on trike

[@JaYoeNation]

No need or lean forward. Just shift any time. Just better to take a split second to stop rotation to take some resistance off the gear.

[@chrisridethatbloodything2044]

I think you can operate it by foot. While rolling.

[@russellmoore1533]

How much does the entire vehicle weigh with all that gear? It looks very heavy, and must be slow up hills, downhill, watch out!

[@JaYoeNation]

downhill is FUN AS HELL! uphill less though.. haha. I think my riding trike and gear weight was 280 lbs... not including me.
