It seems like your channel is re-returning to being focused primarily on travel and trike related activities, which is awesome! I wasn't too into the politicization of your channel as there's enough/too much of that content out there, and I primarily watch content like this to decompress and get away from all that stuff. Good to see you on the trike and good to see you happy.
Great to see the first ride on the new trike … its looking great. I’m going to consider a 26 inch wheel set for my next trike. Glad to know your trike was found.
Great video Matt! There is definitely a TiFly X in my future. I’m glad that AZUB has partnered with you. I’m sure it will increase awareness and sales of their excellent products here in the U.S. That’s a good thing for everyone!
Hello Matt. I'm a big fan of your tours and your trike, and have seen all the tour reviews while I have been bedridden 24/7 in more than 2,5 years after an allergic reaction of a vaccine. It's a lifelong injury, but now I'm able to use my indoor wheelchair for one hour until 3 times a day, to walk just a few steps with crutches when I'm rested. Specialists in my injury have found and tested that I'm in a laid back position like on a recumbent trike can make untill 30 % of my normal pedaling strength for untill 15 and maybe up to 30 minutes with high electric assist. I have to use a cushy ride with good suspension and balloon tires, but if/when the nerves in neck are strained, my legs stop working, and I have to go all electric home for treatment and good resting of my disabled body. In Norway and Europe we have a regulation where disabled people can gef aprowel for electric wheelchairs and el-scooters at max 15 km/h. Most people with such disabilities use a wheelchair or scooter, but with the possibility for electric drive at untill 15 km/h on a trike with wheelchair mode more people could choose a trike which is better for their helth. I have been active in sports, biking,running and kayaking all my life, and for most people like me a trike is better than all electric wheelchair. And for me the trikes from Azub has the best and needed suspension, and the people at the factory are looking like nice people. I think a good advice from you to your good friends at Azub would do them a great faviour as the best trike for disabled people with some pedaling for their helth when they were able to this in such a wheelchair- or scooter mode. Thanks Matt and Best Regards from Arne in Norway
I am working on saving money for my Ti-Fly X, and I hope to have as much fun riding as you appear to be having. Bright Blessings to you and your family.
Man, you are really killin' it with your editing skills, musical choices, and all the camera and drone shots you work into a video! Really, the beginning of this video was so incredibly cinematic. You really have a flair for producing extremely enjoyable videos. I like your mix of riding and the social aspects and your commentary about the trike, travel, and even musing upon the lives of the people whose houses you're passing by. You're a great visual, storyteller and I immensely enjoy watching your videos and appreciate you sharing your journey.
Nice trike! I wonder if 24” rims would be a nice compromise. Also, what sizes are your two front chainrings? I rode a Ty Fly about four or five years ago just when they were coming out. It’s a great trike but I opted for a Catrike Road because of the price. Now I wish I had purchased the Azub! I’m looking and the pricing is $2000 higher! Wow! Hindsight really is 20/20! Enjoy your new ride. I can’t imagine the price that yours was if you include your Rolloff and all the goodies!
@@JaYoeNation I flipped my levers back to the standard recumbent positions.. And i did order/add the HP wrist rest on my AZUB.. I just put a 52v24ah30a Samsung 50E battery on my T-Tris.. I now have a 120 mile range. :) that makes me really happy..my BBSHD works well with a small chainring to keep the motor spinning fast and cool. And with the Rohloff hub i have really good range and power/speed. I wish it had been dry when you visited so you could see for yourself.. Rain is not my favorite.. :) R
The pics of your TiFlyX seems to show the bottom bracket she'll is a bit thinner walled than my Catrike Expedition. That could be it. I haven't found your explanation video yet. Keep up the good work. Your video production quality is excellent & I enjoy the way you intersperse drone video.
I have missed that recumbent smile you always had when doing these types of vids , love the shots and the editing and the trike looks better then version 1.0 . How does HP feel about the brand change although the staff at AZUB are like family but that is the effect you have on people Matt . Jayoe
Considering dexterity of the hand and original design of shifters and brake levers, those on AZUB trikes are right side up. All other trikes have their controls upside down just to facilitate simpler cable routing.
You are very nice. You are a good person. I love what he does. Congratulations. I hope to see you one day in Uruguay. I am about to invest in a business of tourist trips in trike and I plan to do it with Azub. So you are invited
@@rickblaine5429 what I like about Choina is the inefficient market hypothesis... the CCP sets the price of things and everyone lives happily-never-after... if the marginal cost of grain is 100 RMB... the farmer should sell it for 80 RMB... that way the farmer enjoys suffering for a living.
@@JaYoeNation I meant that it would've been cooler if everyone was on recumbents, whether it be a trike or bike. Because afaik, Azub doesn't make upright bikes, and most were riding those instead of recumbent bikes or trikes.
Bro, what happened to your CCP promotion propoganda videos, did they kick you out from China even after doing so much CCP welfare dance and propoganda 😢, SAD

The Azub website says there are no bicycle dealers in the entire US who sell Azub.
I think their website has problems.
I will check again next week.
There are plenty of dealers on the usa. I’ll let them know.

The shifter is actually right side up because it fits in the gripping part of your hand just as it would on an upright bikes horizontal bar.
Yea…but my last one was on the bottom.
The web of the thumb.
@@JaYoeNation Can you make a video about what is going on in China with the Uigurs or did the CCP buy your soul
That looks like a blast to ride. Cadillac of trikes. Doesn’t get much better than that. Always loved the scorpion too.
Beautiful trike !!
Hope all is well Matt !!
Can’t wait to see ya out there . You have my support 110% .

This was awesome Matt you stayed out front in front of the upright riders too most of the time seemed like.
haha yea.. im a beast on that thing... apparently
I wouldn't trade my Hase Lepus for any trike made, but this AZUB would make my trike eat dust. It would be nice to have both!
Great video thanks . They need to have some brighter colors on .
I think I would enjoy a trike that tall . I won't have one but I woild like to
I just priced The X ....$12k ...yikes
*The JayYoe Nation feeling good appreciate your videos Listening 🌟 from Mass USA TYVM 💙 JaYoe*
Looks so fresh drink
As background music Madonna's " Like a virgin" would have been apt.
Cycling together with a group of stranger from Czech looks fun. By the way great scenery.
Congrats, enjoyed!
Everyone is going on about German beer but the Czech can beat it. The same goes for Trikes.
Scotland has great cycling.
I love Azub and one day I'll have an Azub tricon 26. Great job on your vid 👏 very encouraging and f as f heehee.
Hey Matt, how's it going..? you did a video of the TiFLYX with the assist.. does your new AZUB have assist..? RobPDX
No power on the new ride. I enjoy sweating.
When are you going to show off your Carbon Performer Trike you where having custom built in Tiawan
Matt, I feel like I'm watching a video of you once in Hokkaido, Japan🤗 Greeting from Hokkaido Japan 🤗
Hmmm, how many beer stops? Seemed to be a little melancholy there at the end.
Smooth ride!👍👏👌
Thanks for the really fun video.😀

Nice first trip on your trike.
How do those ergonomic levers feel.?. they are flipped from your old trike's levers..
They took a little getting used to but I like them. Less stuff hangin under the trike. I do like the HP wrist rests. Miss them.
@@JaYoeNation I flipped my levers back to the standard recumbent positions.. And i did order/add the HP wrist rest on my AZUB.. I just put a 52v24ah30a Samsung 50E battery on my T-Tris..

I love a good apple juice !!🍻
What happened to the Schlumpf Mtn Drive? I thought you were going to use it along with the Rohloff Speedhub.
AZUB recommended against it. I talked about it a few episodes back.
The pics of your TiFlyX seems to show the bottom bracket she'll is a bit thinner walled than my Catrike Expedition. That could be it. I haven't found your explanation video yet. Keep up the good work. Your video production quality is excellent & I enjoy the way you intersperse drone video.
What do you think of the automatic shift would you own that known the miles you put on
i would love an electric trike to be honest... but there are weight considerations... the shifting was smooth
You went pub crawling, Euro style.
I have missed that recumbent smile you always had when doing these types of vids , love the shots and the editing and the trike looks better then version 1.0 . How does HP feel about the brand change although the staff at AZUB are like family but that is the effect you have on people Matt . Jayoe
HP was sad to see me go.. but i wanted to try something new.
@@JaYoeNation What is sad is the fact that the CCP is not sponsoring your channel and you sold your soul for a fistful of yuan
So what are doing since your trike was delivered in US?😎🐸
Riding around the neighborhood a lot. Settling my family here.
I added a hub motor and throttle on the right transferring my Rohloff to the left. Which means it's upside down. Quick transition!
Which wheel?
Hey Matt I missed the live stream chat…how are your knees any improvements since the injections?
At 10:25 what are those saddlebags on your trike? They look big and very nice.
next to my seat? or the rear? the rear are discontinued Ortlieb Recumbent Panniers..
@@JaYoeNation was talking about the Recumbent Panniers. I need something like that.
@@brlowe1 they are awesome. But hard to find. The yellow ones are all but impossible.
How are those for potholes ? I imagine they are hard to fully dodge
I went full offroad in Slovakia... you will see that and answer...
Why don't you have a front derailleur?
What pedals are you using? Did you specify those?
красота
beauty
I'm curious as to why the shifter 3:38 had to be positioned upside-down. [Edit-Got the answer from the comments.]

Great ride,great video, great trike. I pick up my Ti-FLY X next week. Thanks.

Why would you not have a detailer?
Missed the live stream
What kind of motor you use for your bike I’m trying to get the same bike please
Livestream! Livestream! ✌ ☮
You can't fall with a trike after a couple of beers!
🤞
Just remember, that's China out there!
Give him a little f'ckin break!
@@rickblaine5429 everyone deserves those little breaks. Those 50 and 60 year olds fighting for Russia have no breaks...

Nice to see you on a trike again. Is this one better on the knees?
A bit better
"Might not be American opulence."
😅 I love the sarcasm. Very funny. Yup, they must be happy with universal healthcare instead of guns.
Lol
Thumbs up! but a but boring Matt since you left China
Kinda lame that not all the guys at Azub rode recumbents at least for the video.
Azub makes way more than just trikes.
