Taiwan, where your BIKE, TRIKE, QUAD was born!

[@JaYoeNation]

Did you see any brands there you know of? are you riding anything with parts from there?

[@tonychen1062]

the JaYoe Nation Good day Matt, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Min_Kao Check this info. related to your another important gadget on your trike. where you might wanna pay a visit as well in Taiwan.

[@OliverWiesner]

I ride a HPV Streetmachine, did not see anything specific for my bike in the video, but I'd assume the frame comes from there as well. :)

[@driewiel]

My ICE QNT was there.

[@tonychen1062]

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Min_Kao Sorry Matt, I forgot to attach the link earlier. I just wanna tell you the design house of Garmin is also very close from you. The co- founder’s home town is just next to Taichung called Nantou where in the same county with sun moon lake.

[@darkenergy9893]

Prozzie hasn't contacted You yet?

[@dyuan3298]

Pacific Cycles is very impressive. Taiwan is famous for their bicycle manufacturing. Thanks for bringing us along to your bicycle manufacturer tour. Ja Yoe!!

[@chrisby777]

That was awesome. Many thanks.

[@hungchihhao2008]

It was so great to have bike-making factory tour.

[@davefogelstrom8940]

Hi. Just subscribed. I’ve ridden recumbent trikes for a number of years & currently own a TerreTrike. I admire your ambition.

[@davidpotter3777]

Your so excited during the tour! Very cool, eye opening. God bless. Aloha

[@scrtyboy]

It was very nice to see your excitement of you learning about where your trike fram was made. That right there makes your blog's. I have a Tera Trike Rover. Once agan great blog!!!!

[@jstravelers4094]

As Matt was touring the factory, he said; "looks like he's done that before". I couldn't help but think, no matter how automated a factory is, it's products are only as good as the people who work there. Great video.

[@antcullimore3550]

Thanks for taking us around Pacific Cycles. You even showed me the two Greenspeeds I ride - Anura and Magnum. What a Museum - I would have been like a lolly shop.

[@CaseyForrest3]

Wow. That was so cool. Very interesting to see how their production line works from start to finish. Much more hands on than I would have guessed. I’ve worked in factories when I was younger so I also find it interesting on how technology has changed the way things are done, so streamlined the processes I guess. It’s funny to think my new ICE Trike will be so well traveled before I get it. Thanx for a great video.

[@cheevaritj]

I have a Carry Me bike which is really cool. Super easy to ride. There was a guy in Thailand ride it 100KM in a roll. Very sturdy.

[@AngieCurl]

I love how the universe put you right there in that moment to meet George! That’s pretty damn cool! 😉

[@fletcher3913]

I enjoyed the tour. Thank you, JaYoe and Pacific Cycles.

[@NariKims]

That was very cool, Matt! Thank you!

[@VanlilfewithDaleandBailey]

Very nice video. I wish there would be a bike store like their showroom. I love seeing all the different bikes together. Your like a kid in a candy store. Nice tour of the factory Matt.

[@NordicAdvRider]

Very interesting video. Awesome to see the factory. I’m sure you enjoyed it 👍

[@mindciller]

I'm pretty sure my Schwinn spoiler chopper was made by pacific. Nice video tour! Appreciate it. It was almost like I was there

[@kramenqc]

Got to see my Ice Trice in the showroom same paint everything...I naively thought that it was all made in England !!! Keep up the good work Matt, I love your vlogs!

[@AnthonyDeBattista]

This was a very good episode, thanks Matt!!

[@paulahavens2764]

This was amazing thanks for sharing.You are one lucky guy to have toured this factory.Have a great day,oops your already are having one.JaYoe.

[@brianlejeune7507]

vary awesome video thank you for sharing you dreams and goals with me

[@tonradar]

Great Ideal to go there. Great Video!

[@WadersInAlaska]

So cool Matt!!! I love factories too. Great Video

[@TheCraich]

Cool! I got to see where my trike was made.

[@montaguable]

I love factories as well.From the oldest hand operated machines to the newest CNC machine centres can be fascinating. Interesting to see that in industry you will find hand jigs and CNC machines producing different aspects of a single product. Even on travel Vlogs I love the scenery in industrial areas.

[@JaYoeNation]

me too!

[@darthvader8433]

You filmed the exact bike I have on order... A yellow Greenspeed Magnum XL!

[@thexardas8395]

I wonna try every bike on display. Not like I wonna buy or own anything there but ride every bike for few hours would be alot of fun. Thanks

[@zawest2011MoBiLe]

This video was awesome I enjoyed riding my HPVelotecnik Gekko during the time I had it. But, two years ago now I got broadsided by a minivan, so the Gekko is no longer. But, that recumbent tadpole trike saved me from getting seriously injured. I only received a severe hematoma bruise around my right calf. But, because of how I was hit the front wheels where folded over themselves and the rear frame was bent to the right. But, I still have to give kudos to anyone that work on or ride recumbents. Because of the permagrin that you get once you start riding recumbent. I have a new trike with 1,500 miles on it in one years time.

[@JaYoeNation]

Yea. The trike is a safe frame. If you do get hit there is much more metal around you to keep you safe

[@choppersrule1]

What an awesome place to visit matt. Have a great day Mark

[@elizabethhamilton1166]

Interesting video. I enjoyed it.

[@clayc124]

This was awesome. Thanks.

[@ReecePowell]

That's awesome! So cool to meet the guy at the end.. when destiny calls. It's nice how things line up, sometimes :)

[@werewolf195]

This was one of most interesting video's I have watched for awhile. Love watching the way the frames are made. Fantastic machines 🤩😍

[@beyondfossil]

Loved it!

[@darkenergy9893]

I love that 4-wheels quad trike.

[@adrianovergara1784]

Great stuff!

[@yewnammak750]

Matt thanks for this video. Very enlightening. What interest me most were the type of workers working in the factory. They looked quite a diverse lot. Please if u can, do more of these vids on bike factories in Taiwan. Maybe try to do one on giant bike factory, that would be interesting.

[@JaYoeNation]

I’d love to go to giant. But have not been able to make contact.

[@richglaser4566]

Very interesting video

[@TilmanBaumann]

Those folgable bikes are fantastic. Didn't know you could roll them around so easily when collapsed.

[@StayConnectedEV]

This company should sponsor you Matt. Great exposure for them and huge PR. Surprised they don’t.

[@TheNeaL777]

Best. Episode. Ever! If I ever want a tandem, I'd like two, or three, or more Anuras.

[@LogNotching]

Sorta like watching open-heart-surgery! Spent most of my life in and around machine shops & engineering departments but have always thrived on 'improvement'. Thanks for the 'ride'. (Canopy Guy)

[@ltilkens3198]

I love my Catrike 559. Unlike Schwinn, Trek, Cannondale that use to be made in the U.S. Catrike is still made here and make a great bike

[@bonilla2022]

Great video , Thanks! JaYoe! 8-)

[@mokateer]

Thanks for this insight!💗🙏🍀

[@OliverWiesner]

What an interesting factory I was totally surprised about the sheer broadness of product, which they make, looks to me like they really have all the major brands in their portfolio. I'm also quite surprised how deep their production is, from an operational standpoint, they had most of the steps insourced. Well, come to think of it, it probably makes ton of sense, because some of the single production steps are quite small so it might not be feasible to send the frames away, for example to get them powdercoated.

[@nickjury5198]

Very interesting👍

[@karolinalindqvist4351]

My catrike is not manufactured there, but in Florida. A quite rare trike in Europe. Hope you can make a tour in the catrike factory too, when you come to the US. Then we can hear your comparison between the two factories.

[@JaYoeNation]

That would be very cool

[@gmaneis]

Just curious about the origin of the raw material for Catrikes. I know they are shaped and painted in Orlando, Florida, but does the tubing come from there, too? Or Taiwan? Or some other place?

[@marksommers6764]

THANKS , This was fine !

[@svendphimdi5999]

Hi Great video.

[@dorianbelen]

Many times, we treat bicycles or machines that come from Asia with contempt. But we lack humility to understand the great infrastructure that they have. We only have the money. sometimes I like to invent my own bike prototypes. I can understand the difficulty in each component. Now with this video. I will have more respect for a bicycle from Asia. Not just get carried away by derogatory comments from materialistic and consuming people.

[@kathbowers8257]

Interesting! Still wondering if you'll run into any of the old Lucky bikes. Taiwan is cycle central! JaYoe!

[@va3ks]

Nice to see where my Birdy folder comes from...

[@audio6652]

Man that was cool video I like that a lot 👍👍👍👍

[@zamleejoel]

Oh how I miss Taoyuan

[@黃注]

Very hi-tech the factory is.

[@InappropriateReefer]

Very cool!

[@Schmavie]

Very interesting! Hum...Ice, HP, etc. same manufacturer... maybe, decide what you need, find the best price, go for it!

[@JaYoeNation]

Might be the same manufacturer of the frame... but the brand still has the proprietary designs that they follow.

[@thondupandrugtsang]

The unicycle bike at 3:25 was actually built by a guy here in the US. I saw a video many years ago and it was called RYNO motors( There's a nice story behind how he invented that). This company probably bought the rights.

[@rdkuless]

This is one of my favorite vlogs so far. Thank you..! My dad is in the Rotational Molding industry were they build all the aluminum molds for irrigation devices. kbox.com is my dad. :) . I really enjoyed seeing how these bikes are constructed. Thank you Thank you.. :)

[@SFCRambo60]

I think and believe my Catrike Dumont is built in the USA. I paid a lot but love it.

[@ohwiseowl9163]

Wish I could afford one of those trikes

[@suecc1234]

Totally amazing. How about a new flag pole then Matt?

[@JaYoeNation]

they didnt have any there

[@russellcoble9480]

Very interesting. So I've been telling everyone my HP Velotechnik Scorpion was German made....wondering if I should now start saying it Taiwanese made. :-)

[@JaYoeNation]

Well, the design is for sure German. Parts from all over. Just like pretty much anything these days.

[@thorjoseph]

Currently building my own out of cheap Walmart bikes no welding

[@unboxing101]

I hope he would notice that he is talking to a taiwanese but most skilled hands that built, make, and crafted the best bike or trike he rides are filipino hands. Who are one of the best skilled personnel in you could have. Mabuhay ang pinoy!!!

[@sebassanchezc-1379]

I LOVE BIKES SO MUCH...THAT'S LIKE THE PILARS OF CREATION FOR BICYCLES! THANKS SO MUCH 😍😍😍👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@jeremybackhouse1028]

I'm not a pushie ( Aussie slang for bike) person but that was so cool.

[@rolfpoelman3486]

Not Aussie actually, originally it is just British: push-bike (Australia, New Zealand, UK) a pedal bicycle -- distinguished from a motor bicycle www.yourdictionary.com/push-bike

Hi I have a question when you fly your diji drone do you use a cable to connect your phone to the remote? I have a diji spark I am 58 years old and love your trike travels. I too have a recumbent and lovd it.

[@JaYoeNation]

there is a controller.. it has a small cable that connect my phone to the remote.

[@ellie06100]

Can you do a blog on your trip on your drone and from hookup flight to video

[@brianjohnson9105]

Thanks Matt. Good to see that shop. A lot of bikes come from Taiwan. Maybe that is why China wants the island.

[@ricosaquariums7992]

[@wikiteli]

Is the showroom open to public?

[@JaYoeNation]

Yup

[@rialaine6182]

Can i buy a recumbent trike here?

[@airtripko]

I was wondering why you did not with trike, now i know.

[@DippySippy]

Whats the factory called?

[@McJaews]

I'm currently riding a Kota bicycle. I've had a few issues with the gearing and brakes due to it being second hand, but I couldn't beat the price with anything else of similar quality on the market. I've been interested in recumbent trikes for a while for longer touring. They seem so comfy and sturdy at the same time. How would one go about finding a decent quality recumbent trike without having to break the bank? Like, what should one look for to recognize a good value second hand or on-sale recumbent trike?

Do u make lightweight Foldable electric wheelchair?

My Catrike made in USA parts made in Germany, Switzerland.

Yes it is where 'real' European and American built bikes and trikes come from. While they import our high technology products like eh.....beer and eh....cheese.

[@vitalijletko2828]

So take a bunch of bike parts made in Taiwan , import them to Germany ,assemble them by a bunch of young kids, and then charge 5 times as much for the finished product. Great business model. I’d rather just buy a bike assembled by a company in Taiwan.

[@Sniffowasabi]

The woman was sooo pregnant with probably a 15-lb baby. (0:32)

[@fengz-x7z]

@ 0:42, her belly is so big, is it a sign of being pregnant with twins?

[@SFCRambo60]

i see no safety codes, would not work there, no eye protection, or hearing.

[@dumpsterstu4474]

Yeah the welding station had poor air Quality as well I bet. That's how profits are made though. Still Tiawan is allot better than China as far as payment of their employees. Note the lack of suicide nets like FoxConn has in their IPhone factory..

holy hell that women behind you where you start talking for the first time looks like she is 11 months pregnant.
