That is a different,unique kind of video than you usually do but I like it. My wife and I both have trikes but they are a delta style of trikes. I purchased them from a company called Addmotor. They are e trikes,one is a recumbent and the other is a full suspension sit up riding trike,both with cargo baskets in the back.Addmotor is based out of elmonte California and they have been kicking off a massive advertising campiane on line for a long while now. Good quality bikes and trikes that they build. I have been watching your channel for a little while lately and I enjoy your videos. God bless.
Thanks for watching the channel Scott! I just checked out Addmotor, and their Arisetan Series 2024 really caught my eye as one tough trike. Looks like the company has you well covered. www.addmotor.com/products/m-360 steve
We have busy streets and quiet streets around here in this rural area, and only a couple of very short, old, and inadequate bike/pedestrian pathways (and those paths are plagued with large roots under the asphalt, and have steep ups and downs, not at all what big city riders envision when thinking about bike paths). On our bike paths, even Ebikes could not blow by me because if they did so, they would crash in short order. steve
Great video, Steve! I especially like your camera location. Can you fill us in on the details, like what camera you are using and where you've mounted it, etc.?
I have a couple of cameras Mike, a Nikon and a FujiFilm, both older models, but they still get the job done. The FujiFilm is waterproof, although I've never tested it. It is smaller and lighter than the Nikon, making it easier by far to put on extension sticks for the off-trike shots. The filming behind my head was done with the FujiFilm attached via a expandable pole device to my rear rack. The ride-by shots from a tripod were taken with my Nikon (I would not trust the Nikon on an extension arm on the rear rack while riding due to its weight). Neither camera has any ability to utilize a remote mic, which is unfortunately why my sound is sometimes not very good. steve
I can only speculate George, but I would think that trikers are probably struck a lot less than bikers, for two reasons: 1) There are far fewer trikers out there in the first place to get hit, and 2) Drivers perceive us as disabled, using some sort of a mobility device, and afford us much more attention most of the time than they do for bikers, who are everywhere all the time (familiarity breeds contempt). Since trikes remove the balance issue from the equation, my contention is that trikers stand a fair chance of steering under some semblance of control once struck, hopefully remaining on the trike, instead of being violently ejected as riders of bikes usually are, leading to injury or death. steve

Our neighborhood steets are quiet compared to the American River bike trail. Ebikes and electric scooters blow by me. Cool video, thanks!

Hi Steve, Any idea of how riding tadpole trikes compair to riding two wheel bikes with accidents and injuries? Do they get hit more by cars ?
