Oh boy!.. Am 100% certain this product will have lots of drag especially with strong gusts of wind from the side, and I've been a bike/e-bike rider half of my life..
You belive, that riding a bicycle should be safe in every weather condition. I'm afraid it is not during windy conditions with that kind of sail, but keep on trying, I wish you much luck ;)
I just use a regular umbrella in one hand and steer the bike with my other so simple. I use a golf umbrella which gives great coverage not just for rain but also for sun, and then I wear a back pack Tommy Bahama chair so if I want to rest from bike riding I just set my chair down next to the bike and lay my umbrella canopy on top of the seat and handle bars and rig it in place with a bungee cord . I have all my food and electronics in my Topeak MTX cargo panier bags. The perfect bike touring set up that doesn't weigh you down.
its so unfortunate this product isn;t around anymore...i was really looking forward to buying a couple of them. not only is this bike umbrella good for unpleasant weather but also it will help the bike go much faster since aerodynamics is increased.
It's a pity that you didn't show more of the bike especially in the rain. From what I can see, the upright joints on the panels would severely restrict viability, and may be divert the rain onto your thighs.
@@svelobikes9049 I wonder how that happened when they were spending so much on making videos and not wasting it on things like riding around in the rain with their product.
You don't like water? In fairness to the inventor, you'll need boots that are waterproof if you want your feet to stay dry once off the bike in the rain. The problem with this design is once you slow down or stop, like in urban traffic, you get poured on. What they should do is make it more of a fairing so it reduces wind drag a lot as well s channeling rain away from you.
This thing is so ugly it actually looks like it was made by Jeremy during some sort of a Top Gear challenge… even the music sounds sarcastic with such a video… Rain = bad weather Bad weather = strong winds You can see where I’m going…
Design, testing and manufacturing look good but wanted to see more of the actual product! - maybe for a second video. Potentialy a great idea.
None of these products will work if you leave the legs unprotected. What's the point if you have to change when you get to your destination anyways.

You're absolutely insane. On a wet road you need both hands on the bike. Did you just start riding last week in the sun?
Looks like it reduces visibility. But away from traffic it might be a great choice. The problem is traffic is pretty much everywhere.
How does wind affect the stability of the bike?
And does this umbrella reduce the aerodrag of the bike?
As long as this does not increase the frontal cross section, it should make you more aerodynamic.
So does this not exist anymore?
Tried to buy they may nolonger be avaliable???
We need recumbents with fairings.
Could you make an umbrella for electric kickscooters? I think the market is much bigger. Imagine all the rental scooters with it.

Excellent. Very useful. It Works very well.
Where can i buy?
Is this video an April Fool? The designers have created a sail to help the wind blow you off your bike.
lo ideal sería ver una imagen subjetiva del sistema en un día de lluvia, no hay videos así lo que me hace dudar de la eficiencia del modelo.
I WANT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
amazing
Woow
Excellent. How can I buy in China?
KONO OUTDOOR leafxpro went out of business 😢

can we by these
This product don't exist. See kAPS on Google for a better one.(very good for electric bikes) and better protection.100$
Attempted website..... dangerous,. return to safety.
What about the feet? Otherwise you come to work with shoes full of water....

You duckers stole my idea, your business shall fall!!!!

Rain = bad weather
Bad weather = strong winds
