Thanks for the comment! It was a great day, last Friday afternoon. The Camera is a Akaso Brave 4 Pro, not real expensive but does a pretty good job. My other go to camera, usually mounted forward is a Akaso EK7000. I posted several of these rear mounted videos hopefully to give riders a better perspective of traffic conditions. I have met many new/potential riders that are more concerned about traffic coming up from behind rather than the traffic they see, I hope this helps. The continuation of this video, to the Sacramento Valley Station should be up tonight or tomorrow morning. Please like, subscribe and ring the notification be for future videos! I plan to upload many cycling videos covering Metro Sacramento and beyond this summer.

Thanks! I am going to contact the seller to see if additional seat post portion of the hitch are available so that I won't have to remove when I want to use the trailer on my other bikes.

Thanks for the question! Still holding up well, no problems. One thing that I did upgrade was to get a little longer bolt that holds the hitch to the trailer rail, tightens up better. Enjoy your trailer!

Looks fine to me.

I've had no problems with it, why is it the "worst possible trailer for a bike"?

Hi, Thanks for your comment! I have posted descriptions of the additions that I made to my Totguard E Bike, on the video description. All additions were purchased on Amazon. One change that I recently made was to replace the wireless computer shown in the video with an inexpensive wired unit. The wireless unit seemed to produce inconsistent readings. I'm not sure if the electronics on the bike were interfering with it, it is accurate on my other bikes. One other addition has been a rear taillight which I attached to the rear storage pack, (Ultra Bright Bike Light,USB Rechargeable Waterproof Sport LED Red Fits On Any Road Bicycles Helmets 6 Light Mode Options For Safe Cycling) The bike does not come with a rear light, only a reflector. Thanks for your questions, I hope that I helped, safe cycling!

@@cyclingoptions9007 thanx for the info.

Many, many, many, many , many bumps, thanks for asking!

Can I lay down on the ground on my back and have you run over my stomach with your bicycle

Thanks for your comment! I don't live in West Sacramento and rarely visit, but I have been impressed over the past few years by how they have cleaned it up and all the new development taking place. I think that with it's proximity to Downtown Sacramento it has a lot of potential as kind of a extension of the downtown area much as the development of the Railyards. There seems to be a lot of new condos/ apts. going in around Sutter Health Park, a good option for those working downtown. There is also talk of a new bridge connecting Jefferson Blvd. with Sutterville Rd. The West Capitol Ave. is cleaner, many of the old rundown motels are gone. Riding West Capitol in the day is clean and peaceful, but at night they are some sketchy people hanging out at the remaining motels.

Thanks for watching the video and for commenting! You will find West Sac's bike lanes very well marked, wide and clean. Davis has a national reputation for it's cycling infrastructure. The Causeway itself was in pretty good shape when this video was shot last spring. I will be riding it again in the next couple of weeks to see if anything has changed after the heavy storms that we had this winter. I can't recall any safety issues on the Causeway. It is well used by UCD students and staff living in the Sacramento area along with State workers living in Davis. You'll have plenty of company! Safe cycling, watch for my Causeway update in a couple of weeks.

Thanks for your comment! This is a section of he Sacramento River Trail is along Riverside Blvd south of Seamas Ave. The trail connects with the Greenhaven Parks and residential areas. It has been closed since 2020 just beyond where the video ends due to work on the levee. It is due to reopen this spring, in the meantime cyclist have to contend with cars on Riverside Blvd. which is narrow and sketchy in that area.

A lot of the riverbank encampments normally hidden by vegetation have been forced to higher ground and have become more visible due to the fast rising rivers. Many have become stranded and needed to be rescued over the past few weeks. People have no respect for the power of nature! One genius thought it was a good idea to go kayaking in the American River Rapids during heavy rain and 35 mph winds . He was recued and needed to be hospitalized.

The only way to roll! In this case the trip was also shorter by bike. Using the bike trail and pedestrian bridge Cordova High is 7.6 miles from my house if I would have drove it's 12.6 miles. Major shortcut, cheaper and more fun!

Thanks for watching the video and commenting!

Hi Chris, Good luck with your bike! From my experience I definitely think I received value for what I spent. I received my bike Feb 15th and since have put about 1900 miles on it. I purchased my bike primarily as a commuter and it has worked out well. This is my first e-bike and I really didn't know what to expect. As mentioned I replaced the seat, and had the brakes replaced. The front brake started to lose grip after about 1,000 miles. I had both replaced, the mechanic found a piece had broken inside the caliper which wouldn't allow it to contract. The tires and tubes that come with the bike are also a little light for a 45 pound bike and I am planning on replacing them this fall. Overall a great urban commuter bike, it should be well suited for Door Dash, Uber Eats deliveries. Let us know how it turns out and stay tuned, I will be making a 2,000 mile review of the bike soon.

@@cyclingoptions9007 Your response made me even more excited to start! Thank you so much, I’m looking forward to your future update. As again, very much appreciated sir. Edit: have you ever considered possibly removing the speed limiter to go faster than the 19.8 MPH?

Thanks for your question. I haven't had any issues with the fork. I haven't used the bike off road and normally have the fork in suspension mode which works well. I will be making a full video and overview of the bike soon when I get to 2,000 miles.

OK, since the brake issues I have had no further problems. Bike has 1,700 + miles on it so far, I will do a 2,000 mile review video. Good luck and have fun with your bike!

Thanks for watching the video and your question. Yes the glasses are still working and I use them often. I haven't noticed any fall off from the batteries, still good for about 60-90 minutes per charge.

Thanks for watching the video, I'm glad you enjoyed it, more to come!

Thanks for watching the video, I'm glad that you enjoyed it, more to come! Many good childhood memories of Sacramento Executive (Municipal) pre Sac International when it was our commercial airport, it was an exciting place! I learned to fly at the Rio Linda Airport in the early 1970s, one of the highlights of my early flying career was to land at Sac Exec, I thought I had made the big time.! I think that the restaurant is still in business, I haven't been inside the airport in many years. Hopefully I can get down there this summer and do a video inside the terminal.

@@cyclingoptions9007 Wow! I now live in Rio Linda just down the street from the airport. I'm disabled but watch with nostalgia the air traffic coming and going.

@@thomaspeters5889 Thanks for the input! I haven't been to Rio Linda Airport in years. From the google maps it has changed a lot. When I started in the early 1970s it was pretty simple,. The planes were tied down along the fence bordering the road, airport office a single wide trailer and an old barn near the NW corner for repairs. I plan to cruise by there and shoot some videos, I also want to include the quarter midget race track to the west were Jeff Gordon had his first race when he as 7!

@@cyclingoptions9007 did you know it is the only Quarter Midget Racing track left in California? I used to watch a classmate race on that track when I was in elementary school, I can't believe it's still there. I think this makes us "homies".

That bird was there most of the day, walking on the track then flying over the fence to the grass for a couple of minutes before returning. Seemed pretty comfortable around people., I think I have a clip of it, if I do I will post it.

@@cyclingoptions9007 yo where is the bird???

😍😍😍

Sorry I didn't.

I currently have 1,700 + miles on my bike. When I get to 2,000 miles I will post an complete and honest evaluation of the bike, pluses and minuses.

Most places have gotten much worse the last 15 years. Much, much worse the last 5 years.

What years did you live there cause I grew up there as well

@@williamhulbert5981 I lived in Carmichael from 1986 to 2020. Our family moved around the town alot and lived on Garfield and Marconi from 1992 to 1996.

Thanks for watching the video, I'm glad that you enjoyed it, more to come! I will be doing a series of cycling videos featuring Sacramento Area Neighborhoods this summer. If there are any areas you would like me to explore, let me know.

Who pays for that? Need a lot more prisons. Just for minor offenses while real criminals are not locked up. A non solution fiscally.
