@@jwesby65I was gonna say an adjustable wrench multi tool, Allen key set, and tire patches are light, reasonably priced, and can take you from broken down to restored in minutes.
In regards to the Bluetooth speaker. One is basically better off by installing a bottle holder on the handlebar, and keeping a round speaker like the JBL Flip 6 in this. No straps to deal with, and it's very quick and easy to bring it into stores and such. I tend to secure it using the tethering that comes in the package, and looping this around the computer or bell on my ebike. Just in case the speaker should fall out of the bottle holder, I have an extra security.
You can get that bike alarm from a different seller with a bike mounting bracket for $2 more. A car will not really hear that little honky sound, for the electronic bell, don't rely on it. Get a car horn/alarm combo for street riding.
I mainly use it to alert people when I'm on the road as the regular bell gets washed out by traffic. Never seen the mounting bracket alarm one as I bought this years ago but I'll take a look thank you
No, you slow down for pedestrians. Louder is not better, it may scare them. Just think.... if you are going fast, sounding your loud horn and they still walk on as normal, you rush past them at frightening speed and they are surprised as you rush past them....because they are deaf! Think of others, not yourself.@@XiaolinDraconis
Yeah its basically automatic. I can never go back to my old Ryobi inflator with the analog gauge on it that you have to squint to see and get an idea where you are. These are definitely so much easier and don't require you watching the gauge
It just automatically shuts off after some time of not being used. When you want to use it again, you just click it and it automatically wakes up and connects shortly after. I typically get about 6-8 months out of a single battery
I'll get that added to the list but we both use this helmet linked below. It has a rechargeable light on back of it and even includes a magnetic sunshade attachment. You can use it like sunglasses or for me as a glasses wearer, it came most in handy to keep the water off my lenses so I can ride home and still see fine. amzn.to/3f3DmHi
Good stuff. I don't know why they didn't push any marketing toward these little controllers. I had to see 10+ other junk controllers before I even came across these. They're definitely the best option out.
Most lights on Amazon grossly exaggerate the lumen output. Basically gotta take off a 0 when reading the description but then again they sell some lights with 1 billion lumen outputs so really there's no telling how bright a light actually is unless it's from a reputable brand. That light does seem fairly bright but it is not 5,000 lumens. A 5,000 lumen light would be much bigger and much more expensive. Even budget beast brands like sofirn, wurkkos and convoy would charge $50+ for a 5,000 lumen flashlight where as brands like olight, nitecore, lumintop would charge upwards of $150. Last time I bought a bike light from Amazon they claimed it was 1,000 lumens and when I compared it to some of my other lights it's seems closer to 300.
Yeah thats understandable. Too many items including speakers, TVs and other things always highly over exaggerate specs while there are only a few reputable companies in each category that you know are reliable and honest about their specs. With that being said, it may not actually be 5,000 lumens, but its pretty bright and has a great throw distance for the price so I'm happy with it. If I was riding out in the middle of no where or in pitch dark woods often, I'd definitely want something better..but for regular night riding and visibility it does the job and then some.
I have a 1080 P GPS camera wireless, colorful, Bluetooth speaker, and the phone mount and I have a smart, USB air pump my 🏍️ is the sailnova y pearl white 20.6 mph. I drive it to work back and forth I also have The mini Kryptonite lock, which cost 85 bucks. I have it wrapped around underneath my seat, which is perfect. Nobody can break or cut it. You get what you pay for I would advise that lock on Amazon
Kryptonite definitely makes great quality locks! I looked at them at first but didn't need something as heavy or as heavy duty as those. I don't ride to work or anything like that but for someone that parks and locks up the bike often, spending good money on a lock is definitely worth it! It's a bit silly that some people spend 1k+ on a bike but then complain about spending decent money on a lock to protect it.
@@EricReviews If you want quality you had to pay for it that lot can’t be cut. So the 100 bucks was worth it Exactly and then they wonder why it’s like driving a car with no insurance?
Good stuff! Its a great speaker and is better than any other speaker I own of a comparable size. The Micro 2 is supposed to be a lot better but also cost more. I've been more than happy with my Micro 1 so I haven't felt the need to upgrade
Forgot there even was a diamond level lock. The trade off is those are typically not as portable and around 5lbs and up, but definitely the better option when higher security is needed. Truly as long as you don't have a cheap cable lock, any lock that looks even remotely intimidating should make a drastic difference in reducing the chances of your bike being stolen.
Wasn't as popular of a thing back when I made this video but definitely a good thing to get, especially if you do the modification to turn off the beeping.
I use everything shown here on almost every ride I go on, but I know we all see things differently so to each their own! As long as you aren't doing anything inconsiderate, I say just enjoy your ride however you see fit.
It's no different from a car playing music while driving by you. I really don't understand why theres so much negativity around speakers on bikes.. hearing someones music for 2 seconds while they pass shouldn't people as much as it does.
What are YOUR "Must have" accessories you have on your ebike? I'd love to hear em!
A bag with an extra tube and tools to replace tires if needed.

@xcythgaming2069 oh yeah
spoke lights.
The bike alarm on my e bike
Wow, an actual human being reviewing accessories. I just commented to say that for the benefit of the algorithm. Thanks

Ended up ordering a few items. Thanks for the video Eric!
Happy to help and thanks for watching!
Good video! I ordered that JBL controller to use in my 1993 Jeep that doesn't have steering wheel controls. It looks great
Great use for it!

Horns aren't for cars, they're for alerting pedestrians. But yeah louder is better, let em know sooner specially if you ride fast.
No, you slow down for pedestrians. Louder is not better, it may scare them.

@@MrDomestical if they're deaf then they ain't gonna hear me at the last second and do something stupid, win win.
Thank you for the info, great video
Thank you and thanks for watching!
I also ordered the tire inflator which should make it very easy for my wife to use on her vehicle. I appreciate the effort you put into this!
Yeah its basically automatic. I can never go back to my old Ryobi inflator with the analog gauge on it that you have to squint to see and get an idea where you are. These are definitely so much easier and don't require you watching the gauge
I have the tribit speaker and electronic horn you have there, good stuff
Definitely. Both are still going strong after almost 5 years now
Orderd A Few Products! Thank's So Much!
Happy to help! Enjoy your ride!
Good video!
Thank you!
I wasn't expecting the headband 😂😂
How do you use the foldylock ???
I am going to order a couple items from your video. Thanks great vid.
Thank you and happy to help!
I bough the jbl click. How do you turn it off ?? Is it stay always on ? I found no answer in the manual 🤷♂️?
It just automatically shuts off after some time of not being used. When you want to use it again, you just click it and it automatically wakes up and connects shortly after. I typically get about 6-8 months out of a single battery
Does anyone know if there is an ahooga horn out there for bicycles?
Lol probably so, I just don't know how you would search for that or even what's their called..lol
Just zip tie an air horn to your handlebars
@@xylynthian753 wouldn't want a air horn on my bars but to each their own!
@@EricReviews I was just kidding lmao
@Xylynthian I've seen quite a few awful "bike mods" in facebook groups..so these days you really don't know..lol
What bike helmets do you recommend for both you and your wife?
I'll get that added to the list but we both use this helmet linked below. It has a rechargeable light on back of it and even includes a magnetic sunshade attachment.

It's a good thing 99% of the population can't pick like the lockpick laywer..lol.
I am ordering Everything thanks
Awesome, happy to help and merry christmas!
@@EricReviews you too happy new year
Bought that JBL controller for my motorcycle. Thank you!
Good stuff. I don't know why they didn't push any marketing toward these little controllers. I had to see 10+ other junk controllers before I even came across these. They're definitely the best option out.
I have the same mirror and bike alarm.
Usually i use two bike alarms and 4 bike locks one club lock on each tire two on the frame 🔒🔐
I like the big clicky button! 🤣👌🤓
It's definitely an awesome little device..I need my tunes and I never ride without it!

@@KAYTONE1 Absolutely! Unfortunately not everyone has common sense and many end up buying some cheap $10 Walmart cable lock
The second bell sound sounds like a school bell 🔔😂
I have the alarm I love it
Good to hear! Going on 5+ years with mine as well and no issues
waterproof phone mount is a must on mine
Add:
Bluetooth sunglasses
I just ordered the little speaker after seeing it was on sale for $40.. Thank you!

Diamond locks are better than gold locks.

Air tag!

AirTag holder bicycle bell.Remove speakers on AirTag and thieves will have a hard time finding the AirTag
Wym remove speakers on AirTag? Is there a product I can buy or is AirTag the way to go? Was thinking to put under the front bumper plastic?
I understand the lights, but the rest just seems like overkill. Skip the junk and just ride!
I use everything shown here on almost every ride I go on, but I know we all see things differently so to each their own! As long as you aren't doing anything inconsiderate, I say just enjoy your ride however you see fit.
You mean you don’t wanna hear me blasting 2 Chains down the trails?
crap, i just spent the last of my money on the bike and didnt have enough for the Naruto headband!!!! gosh its all pointless now -_-
Lol man..return it all! You're sure to get bullied without it!
Just what I needed to hear, somebody's else's music. Not 🤪
Hear someone's music within the 2 seconds of passing..How awful!
Trycia Walk
Probably the wee rechargable light is what I'd take most as for people with speakers on their bike sorry but no should even be alaw against it😂
