This channel is hilarious-- it's the complete opposite of 99% of product review channels that basically just use their videos to advertise products and shower them with praise while leaving out the inevitable cons/long term issues. Good on you for being so blunt!
Great video! There are many videos trying to sell them and list stats. This is the information I was looking for, and helped my to decide on the underglow lights
Yeah, I found that annoying myself too and didn't want to jump on that bandwagon. Since the release of this video, Shredlights has upgraded their firmware and app which allows the bluetooth to be turned off automatically after 20 minutes for storage. This is a bit of a gamechanger b/c now we dont' have to worry about the batteries draining on standby. Particularly important on the underglow lights that I suspect have a smaller battery than the other headlights/tail lights.
@@extraHERO haha, that comment should probably be in an Ebike video. I have heard of the Heybike Hauler but have not seen one in person and have never ridden one. I’m not a fan of the brand.
Your door light under your pint is cool, but just in case you're not aware, having a red and blue light flashing on the road is illegal in a lot of places. You also may freak some people out where they think you're a cop and start driving erratically because they think they're being pulled over.
@@hose3462 I thought so too but only on cars. I verified with a cop friend of mine who I ride e-bikes with. You can legally have it on your person or a non car, meaning PEV’s are fine. The lighting color and patterns do change but I think the default light are the police lights unless you change it manually. Good if motorists think they’re being pulled over. They’ll slow down hopefully.
I’d argue that front headlights illuminate rocks and uneven terrain at night -especially important for one wheels and esk8s. And if you have front headlights, for all intents and purposes of being seen from the rear, they are effective as well. So to me, rear lights on esk8s and one wheels are not as necessary as front lights
@@Miguel_Molina I hear ya. It’s nice to be able to see the shadows and therefore depth of uneven terrain at night. I feel like they’re even more visible than in the daytime. However, maybe it’s my board or the mounting height but I’m not able to get the distance of strong illumination to ride comfortably without my helmet lights. My city also does have crazy terrain. Not very well kept. It doesn’t help that there’s also nutty drivers and cyclists to worry about. Ride safe!

@@MerchantsOfMisery It’s what we’re all thinking right? Gotta call it out as it is. The last thing we need is more ads disguised as reviews.

To me you're an ebike guy so I have a question. Have you seen the Heybike Hauler?
