The ebikes with a crank based motor, Bosche and Yamaha for example, are easily upgraded with a few cable ties and some tape. They get their speed from the magnet on the wheel and sensor on the frame and measuring the cadence. However, moving the magnet to the pedal arm with some tape and inverting the sensor so it faces the new magnet position means the cadence will now be far far slower and therefore convinces the speed electronics that you're going slower than you actually are. The motor will keep supplying juice up to your ability to keep pedalling via your gear ratio. And yes, I have done this to my own Yamaha bike. The obvious downside is the motor, now producing more power eats through your battery capacity, so unless you have a decent sized battery it's probably not worth the speed improvement.
Also, it might be an illegal modification. E-bikes are limited to a certain speed so that they aren't classified as motorcycles, requiring a motorcycle driver's license, etc. It depends on your local rules.
@@spoonido Any bicycle must be designed to handle going downhill, where you can easily go much much faster. When that's said, disabling the limit makes the bicycle illegal to use in most of EU at least, and around here you'll occasionally get checked by police.

Ha! I was going to post the same thing.. saddles used to have springs. My first bicycle without any was the racing bicycle I bought when I was 13. When that's said, unless I'm riding on cobble stones I don't feel the need. I just lift slightly if I'm crossing something bumpy. As I was a tractor driver for many years I don't for a second buy the comparison to driving a tractor.
@@tohaason Bikes still have saddle springs, in fact I have a bike with saddle that has cushioning and springs - pretty comfy. It is my impression, that in some parts of the world people have forgot how a "normal bicycle" looks like, that it is not just sport or mountain bikes. Anyone who lives in Netherlands or Denmark for example would be very surprised to see this as a new "invention", as they are mostly standard equipment for a bicycle.
That seat spring looks really interesting and Im gonna look into getting me one of them for my 2 bikes! Awesome idea(s) and TY for bringing it to my / our attention!

Actually, when the wheel was first invented it was square. It was back nearly to caveman times. But, of course, it had a problem as it turned going bump ... bump ... bump ... bump ... ... ... bump ... bump ... bump ... bump ... and so forth. So, then the first improvement to the wheel was made. It was turned into a triangle. Eliminated one of the bumps.
Lol. That drifter bike at 3:52 can be made cheaply on any bike by just have a spiked weel in front and a normal rear weel. Doesn't have to be expensive weels at all 😉
Interesting stuff, if for nothing other than the ideas. I've watched quite a few of theTechZone videos and have to ask; Being that most of the inventions featured come from countries who use the metric system, and the entire world (less a few countries) use the metric system, why are all the measurements and capacities given in feet, gallons and ounces? Maybe put up a super of the metric equivalent when these are mentioned. Thanks,.
You all have to understand that you only buy shapes, not another type of technology in the field of mechanics. These exterior or interior shapes you call them design, but the mechanical technique, you also use the one that was conceived 150 years ago, only with small innovative transformations.
Not some if the ones I've seen, most Nice electric bikes are closer to 5 grand than 1. I get what you're saying though, compared to that bike sure, but put that device on someones already 4 grand mountain bike and I think its worth it.
Interesting concepts, the square front chain wheel, was most interesting, however, it appears that the real cluster was modified to make up for only one front gear, I gather the square design made it unsuitable for using multiple front gears shifting…
Am I the only one that thought it was outrageous to hear that mentioned in the second topic about "speed box 3.0" at 1:20 they state it lets you bypass the speed limiter so you can go "37 miles per hour".... on a bicycle!!?😳 😮
at 0:30 that was the princip of the Vélosolex it showed up 1946 in France so not such a brand new invention. Back then they used a 49 cm³ 2 stroke engine.
those loopwheels have been around for almost 10 years the only snag with them is they weigh quite a bit almost 2kg per wheel and the wheelchair versions cost over $600 each wheel and thats without tyres
To it's credit, the loopwheels do work and provide one of the best rides that I have ever been on, the smoothness will spoil you. How do I know this? because I have one, unfortunatly it sits quitely in my basement because the bike wheels seem to have a flaw with the carbon fiber loops and the mounting system to the rim, it fractures apart after about six months, however, the kind folks at Jelly Products did replace my wheels after the inital failure and they do still sell them for wheelchairs, however it looks like they are using different materials and mounting hardware for those. Shame... 😭😭😭
Logically, like all suspension on bikes, they will increase the energy expenditure required to move the bike forward. I guess that's not an issue for everyone but if you rely on your bike a lot and live in an area with plenty of hills I think you would regret it.
In California if your e-bike can exceed 20 MPH you are required to register the bike, have a license and license plate. So using a chip to exceed the built in speed limiter is probably going to get you a ticket if caught. Basically modifying your e-bike in this way will move it into the same category as a motorcycle.
The best way to improve a bike is to make it lighter - which means virtually nothing extra is ever going to help. I'd buy a gadget to stop ASDA carrierbags swinging into the front wheel though.
Trenux, the folding bike trailer, is nothing but vaporware. There are multiple crowdfunding pages, and the "official page" does not exist. Would be nice if it did exist, but you really need to research the products you present before you make a video advertising them.
The Polar Plugs seem…dubious. It’s got to generate enough heat to be felt through your grips, which are generally some sort of rubber or foam, materials that are pretty good thermal insulators. But not so much heat that it starts to break down the grips. And in most cases the bars are aluminum, a really effective conductor, the rest of which are exposed to the air. So I would expect them to suck a lot of the heat out into the air, rather than into your hand, unless the bars were dangerously hot. And they’re not going to do anything to protect your hands from windchill, so you still need gloves that at least block the wind. Not to mention brake levers can get _cold_ in winter. Seems to me that if you want to be able to wear lighter gloves in winter, pogies are a more effective solution , and don’t require recharging.
They've had heated grips for motorcycles for years. Never had a problem with them, and they work pretty well. I imagine heated bicycle grips are a very similar technology.
I have one similar to #2 on my ebike. I bought it because I wanted to move my seat back farther. The shock absorbing action is an added perk. It's a little bouncy but it's not a deal breaker.
Overriding the chip on an e-bike will more than likely void the warranty. If the loop wheels are heavier then why are they "better" for folding bikes that get carried about or wheelchairs where the extra weight will cause the user to tire faster? Last on isn't a bike so much as it is a maths exercise.
Void the warranty and possibly break the law. A powered bicycle that can go above a certain speed (depends on your locality) is considered a motorcycle, requiring extra lights, driver's license, etc. Loop wheels might be better for comfort. Same reason mountain bikes and fat-tire bikes became popular for city use. Definitely not for efficiency.
Because they are only bought by idiots? I only use a bike to commute but I regularly hit 23mph on an ordinary push bike so why pay far more money but get less performance from it? In some places it isn't road safe not to be able to excede 16mph (try it on a busy roundabout).
At what point are square wheels actually useful, need special paths (that no one will ever install) just to ride it, that is just people with too much time on there hands
I'm a pretty sharp guy gear on the front if that works why not Square gears on the back wouldn't that be the same effect anybody correct me if I'm wrong it just seems like Common Sense throwing it out there for the public consensus
These aren't high volume features. You pay more when they're made in a batch of 500 or 1,000 instead of 100K at a time. When they get competitors on Amazon or whatever, then the prices will go down, but not before.
They’re for people who: like to get exercise, have had their license suspended, have a medical condition that prevents them from driving a car, are too young to drive, students who aren’t rich but need to get around while in school, or for people who to prevent pollution, or would just rather no spend the money on a car.
Looks interesting and has some useful applications, but... isn't bicycling supposed to be a form of recreation (sport) where you do it to be self-empowered and perform actual physical exercise (use your body)? It's like renting a segway to go mall shopping, i.e. just another way to become increasingly lazy and self-entitled. Just hope it has cup holders for your Starbucks Grande Frappuccino! Zzzzzzzz.....
$1k for the first one? And that doesn't include. The bike! The idea of an electric bike, in itself defeated the purpose of riding a bike. Good, cheap exercise or cheap, short commute. You could just get a used Vespa for you cheap commute, but with the speed, at least in the US, you're putting your life at risk in traffic. I road a Honda bike as a kid and lucky I'm alive.
That square drivetrain as far as I understand was an April's fools joke and this is the second video I see that takes it seriously.

It might get a bit dicey to juice up a bicycle whose tires and brakes aren't designed for such speeds.

The seat isn’t a shock absorber it’s a spring. Shock absorbers have dampening. There is no dampening there.

That's not called a chain ring. It's called a sprocket
:"Chain ring" is a common term used in the bicycle industry and among cyclists (I once raced bicycles). It refers to the front sprocket(s).
Seriously??? A 34$ for the best bike seat suspension? IT'S A BARGAIN!..... Oh wait!!!!! 35$ for a piece of wire?!?!?! 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

Doubt anyones gonna inspect the bike for a chip unless ur literally racing infront of police or your really stupid

The speed Box is just stupid ! E Bikes can only reach 16 mph for a reason
Because they are only bought by idiots? I only use a bike to commute but I regularly hit 23mph on an ordinary push bike so why pay far more money but get less performance from it? In some places it isn't road safe not to be able to excede 16mph (try it on a busy roundabout).
