- Some of the questions I get most are about my weirdest bikes, so I figured it was time to put together a proper "bike check" video on them.

Yeah, I know you're going to ask about the Tallgoose too, but that thing is no longer in my possession. I'll check up on it the next time I'm in Miami!
Here are the original videos featuring these bikes
Half Bike • Crazy trike with rear ...
Unicycle • New Mountain Cycle day...
Fat Ripper • Behold! The Fat Ripper...
Swing Bike • The Swing Bike
And if you're wondering what the Tallgoose is • Behold! The Tallgoose ...
Mines pretty cool, it's called a "stuck in the highest gear" bike
EDIT: I have gotten a new bike in between when I originally made this comment, and I can happily say that it is light-years ahead of my previous when it comes to build quality
Lol
Aiden Wolcott I mount in 3rd gear cuz I am awful with gear
Mine is stuck above gear 2. No gear 1. It is forbidden
Welcome to the “my bike won’t shift down” club
That’s why you should get a bmx
Quarantine has got me watching seth’s old vids 😁

Imagine the unicycle had a suspension fork
I was just thinking that lol
Downhill unicycle!
And shifter
Honestly (I know you're probably joking) but I think it would be nearly impossible to ride except for the most skilled unicyclists, because it would take away any core stability you have. I'd love to see someone try though!
@@DanteYewToob I've seen a buddy make one and you're right. Downright impossible to pedal and maintain stability.
Back in highschool, I had a teacher teach an elective course on bike maintenance and during that course we would get to ride various bikes like the swing bike, couple of penny-farthings and one or two tall bikes. Loved that class so much I ended up making my own tall bike and got quiet a lot of looks. Definitely conversation pieces but not fun to fall off of.
I have a friend who rides his tall bike all the time. It gets attention every time. Love it
Fat ripper and the swing bike are my favorite from the rest
Unicycling down a quarter pipe!?!?!? What!? This video was awesome!
Budget friendly biking that wasn’t even close to a quarter pipe
Unicycling down a really big kicker!?!? What!?... Either way... What!?!?
Just Seth being Seth.
Pretty wild for a beginner. Seth is crazy!
You need to see my videos mate. My bikes are in the back of the shed now
Starting with the least weird of them all...
**chooses unicycle over fat ripper**
Probably he meant that most people have seen unicycles. I hadn't seen a fat bike until recently.
@@DeterminedDIYer Genius!!
I never seen a mountain unicycle tho
400 th like
Dude yeah the fat ripper isn’t even unusual
Hey Seth, I reckon you should try and get your hands on a reverse steering bike, like the one Destin from Smarter Everyday uses, or the one he sent to Mike Boyd. I think it would be really interesting to see what a dedicated bike TH-camr has to say about he experience.
Stilts S Theres probably a stem you can buy that turns any bike into one, but maybe not
I have built one by welding a second stem on, then the steering is via a lever, not gears as per most reverse steer bikes.
ya that is a very good idea nad would be very interesting
It would depend if Seth felt it was worth all the effort of relearning to ride it and losing the ability to ride a normal bike once your brain reprograms to ride the reverse bike.
@@mr.berlingo8211 Yeah some friends of mine did that too! It works fine but it seems the balance of the bike is off and it's nearly impossible to ride. That could also be the frame or honestly the handlebars they put on it too though.
practical use for the swing bike making your friends think their hallucinating
My idea:
Make your friend consume a white substance, something harmless and after them consuming it tell them that it was a drug.
And after that you two ride in beach cruisers but your bike is a swing bike.
Swing as far and as smooth as you can to make your friend feel like they're tripping balls

"Nobody rides a unicycle for the purpose of traffic safety"
*Ed Pratt has joined the chat*
If you live in the U.K. Then I can tell you s.e bikes are not used by older people who appreciate bmx but by kids trying to do wheelies
+cormac james this is true
U.k. bike life
i just got my se bikes x city grounds blocks flyer delivered, built it and have been riding for 2 days, and can already wheelie it a full block
se is a great company, im sure the fat ripper is nice aswell
IKR
cormac james you know
With the unicycle, would it make sense to move the brake to a hand held setup (with a longer brake line)? That way you keep your arms out for balance?
BCpov I’m wondering that too. Btw love your vids.
in the forest u have almost continuously one hand on the saddle because of bumps
cable tension would probably get rekt
BCpov bad idea because as u ride it u have your hands on the seat so u can jump so the seat is like a handle bar
The brake is removable and is long enough to be hand held. I think it was shown in one Seth's learn to unicycle series.
A new level of respect dude. Being a true fan of cycling I enjoyed all of these different types of bikes and see how they put a smile on everyones face. Thanks for showing these again.
Backwards brain bike is easily my favorite freak-bike. It’s a bike that inverts the steering.
Watching in 2021. Few weeks ago, I watched my first video of Seth and Eric Porter on White Line and found it so engaging. Now, I'm hooked on Berm Peak and Berm Peak Express. Excellent content!
Weld them all and ride it ✅
Hey i am your fan from india
Fat biker vaibhav oh hell yes vaibhav is here
Fat biker vaibhav heyyyy wasssupppp
mega tall-bike?
Vaibhav get yourself a swing bike and a tall bike 👍 or try to make it at home it would be great 💗
The Swing bike is the one that I would find tempting to own. It would freak people out on the greenways here for sure.
“Nobody rides a swing bike to train for a triathlon”…. Challenge Accepted
😂 😂 😂 - Now I just need to get a swing bike!
Daily MTB Rider we're holding you to that now 😉
Pls do it :)
Subscribed. Waiting for your video haha
Hold my beer

Aww
5:00 everything I thought I knew about biking is literally gone
I feel like you should get a ski bike... since you have snow now.
Yes!!
Nate Masse Even better, for him to make his own. I've made one with some difficulty, but they're fun. They are also allowed at ski resorts.
PowerBand but he only got 1 day of snow for his winter
I dare you. Put clipless pedals on the unicycle
Isaiah Jacobson i might be trying this soon for one of my videos.
UniMart Subscribed
I rode SPD's on my unicycle for a while because I was training for some events... It's far too sketchy but some people crazier than me do it and love it. The hard part is getting unclipped in the second or so of time between stopping pedalling and falling over!
I might not try it myself right away but my mate said today he will give it a go if that's what the people want 😂
Hell naw
Fat Ripper is at the top of my “next” list.
I can’t tell for how long i’ve been watching Seth’s vids but i cal say one thing... I love your content and i love coming back to old videos even those i already seen a couple times. You inspire me to ride more and achieve more as a rider and as a person. To sum up you are one of the most inspiring and charming youtuber and biker, much love from Poland 🇵🇱🙏💪
This is the first of Seth's videos I ever watched and it makes me happy to watch it again thanks seth
What about your tall bike?? That was my favorite. You should make another one!
Can you wheelie and spend over 700$ on a bike that are used for tricks
@@SumoVTMNS What?
Seth: You don't see unicycles everyday
Me, a unicyclist who has a freestyle unihockeying sister: uh that's where you are wrong
S Ward same about the unicycle
same about the freestyle unihockeying sister
I think I haven't seen a unicycle in at least 3-5 years.
They are rare.
The only "unicycles" I've seen in that time were bicycles with one wheel stolen xD
I own a half bike, it was hard to ride it,but I find it fast and practical. It is small and light,and once you get the balance it's very entertaining.
What's a half bike? Post a video please
Take the unicycle to whistler....
That would easily become one of my favorite videos of yours.
5:12 starts playing Tokyo Drift

*D È J A V U*
Lol
You should try and wheelie the swing bike
Noob GaMeR impossible
That's quitter talk there bud!
Swerve game strong af on the swing bike
Wheelie the unicycle
That backwards riding was life
the fat ripper isnt that weird.. if you are into wheelie bike life almost everyone has a fat ripper and its not a unusual bike.. just check out wheelie rideouts where almost everybody has one..
+Melvxn 666 At a Halfbike meetup, everyone has a Halfbike
Fat rippers aren’t exactly weird, it’s my favourite bike to ride at the moment
Melvxn 666 I agree I got a big ripper Seth should review a big ripper
That 2 Wheel Life he's reviewed it already
Melvxn 666 yeah you see them all the time even in the uk I ride a blocks flyer
“Me wondering why the fat ripper is bulletproof”
Built to bmx. Strong frame. Sealed bearings. Has some sub par parts to most expensive bmx but can be upgraded.
I had a different prospective
Its cause as far as I know its literally bulletproof I think the wheels are solid.
It was conceptualised by Todd Lyons
I got a fat ripper and my cousin has a old Volkswagen and the tires are almost as fat as those tires😂
Wow, blast from the past for me. I first saw the original Swingbike in about 1977 at the Boys and Girls Exhibition, Alexandria Palace London, England. Forever stuck in my childhood memory.
Tubeless tires, carbon frame, suspension fork, and 1x12 drivetrain for the unicycle lol
There actually are geared unicycles, but the gear range is basically pointless at 1.5 to maybe 2x being the best you can do.
6:12
*bold of you to think I would let anyone try it*
"One less car is always a good thing." Well said bud
Guess we'll just put a motor on it
Makes me want to buy a diesel
I have an SE Beast Mode which is a 29"+ BMX cruiser. It big, it's heavy, it stands out. I live in Florida and it's perfect for city rides. I don't ride it often, but people stop their cars to ask questions. I did upgrade the brakes from Tektro mechanical disc brakes to Magura MT4. Now it actually stops.
I speak from experience - the halfbike is a nightmare to learn but fun to ride, on smooth ground only
That notification is the best!!!!
I still love the fat ripper and want to buy one but it pretty hard because I live in Australia
check out district cycle store they are in victoria and supply SE fat rippers. they also do refurbished old 90s bikes too.
jake fazwis vood advice for people who live in victoria
Seth: "Today, we'll take these bikes for a spin and then talk about what makes them different..."
Me, to myself: "...but kinda the same."
If u dint know one of the main uses for the se bike is for wheeling and all that
I have that exact same 40yr Fat Ripper, and I LOVE IT!!!! Monster truck bicycle. I'd love the 7spd rear from the OM-Duro though!!! I may step the front sprocket down a tooth or 2.
I want to see seth try to learn how to ride the backwards bike on SmarterEveryDay. (Turn handlebar left= right and vice versa)
+willmoua1 if you guys can convince him to let me try!
Seth's Bike Hacks haha. If only I had that kind of swaying power! A collab would benefit both channels Immensely!
Seth's Bike Hacks I hope you would actually try it!! Can't wait!!
I would pay to try the SmarterEveryDayBike... heck, I have had most everything to Build One for years...
Unicycles aren’t weird, they’re a way of life. 🤙
Agree!
I was saying. All my bikes are in the back of the shed now. He needs to find other unicyclist to ride with.
UniMart get over to the USA dude. 🤘
If i could afford to i would in a flash.
Pipe down, hippy! 😂
"I would call the swing bike a red blooded beach cruiser." - Seth 2018 🤣
Gamer The Noah would’ve loved to see the swing bike at the beach, he was riding it in my cities beach.
Fat ripper, just seeing PK Ripper on the frame brought back great memories of the old bmx days.
That swing king looks like a lot of fun! The coolest lowrider bike I have ever seen was built from a vintage swing bike, with the front tube all stretched out like melted mozzarella cheese. It was Fantastic 4 themed, but this was waaayyy before the modern glut in super hero movies and shows, it was in 1995 I think.
Video idea: mountain biking training with training wheels!
watched this video while eating a ice cream sandwich as a break from midterm studies. thanks for the laugh :D
Seth: my weirdest bikes!!
Me: looks at unicycle hhhhmmmm
this was the first seths bike hacks video i saw. Its what sent me into the MTB rabbit hole. Just wanna say thanks for introducing me to this sick hobby :D
Thank you so much for including a serious little piece on unicycling !
1:36 he hit the dab
Do a video about you learning how to do a wheelie on the swing bike
One less car is still good
**angry car guy noises**
I was thinking the same I was angry too
Great video! The icing on the cake was the appearance of the Newfie at 6:06 - 6:07.
I have a 1990 Trek that I've converted into a singlespeed and put on an 80mm front suspension fork even though it was never designed for it. It gets all the weird looks at the mountain bike rides. It's good to know there's someone else out there like me!
the pk ripper is a wheelie bike
Take the unicycle to Windrock
Nick Hepler i would do
I need a swing bike now...
I have 3 pretty decent little bikes, 2 Giants and 1 Motobecane as a Road, Touring Trail, and full suspension mountain bike. Love all 3 of them as 'Real' Bikes you can commute on in their own ways... Then I picked up a used Mongoose Beast single speed fat tire bike that weights 56 POUNDS as a joke, figured I would ride it once with my friends for laughs. Weird thing is we got lost that day and I road it 46 miles! That bike won me the nickname the BEAST for riding it that far, and now it's in my fleet permanent as a just fun bike to throw around from time to time. Of note it's actually a hoot to ride over curbs and really anything else that gets in my way ;-)
I saw this video two years ago and just now started to get back into biking. I just now realized that Seth did this video
What is the song in the swing-bike section? Love it.
Peyton Cox Shazam

In the uk you see kids on se bike to wheelie not using them as beach cruisers
snapclaw4321.TT.V little Harry’s crew back in 2018
se bikes are used more in the us then uk to wheelie most of the people wheeling in uk are on mtb or se but in the us its almost all se
THATS HOLLYWOOF BEACH FLORIDA WHERE HE WAS ON THE SWING BIKE THATS WHERE I LIVEEEE YOO A CELEBRITY WAS AT MY BEACHHH
Hell yer, I rode a swing bike in the early 90’s. Dam right, I had a hard time letting the guy that owned it have it back as I was whipping around the school yard.
"With very little practice you cam learn to get reckless on the swing bike" as he rides over the log.. you badass!
A unicycle is by definition not a bike (bicycle)
facts
That depends on whether the unicycle identifies as a bike or not.
I got a bike rode it and popped both inner tubes
Punctured*
That's normal.
Sounds like someone put the tubes in wrong...
I would really like to meet you...Anyone else...
Connor Tidman - same here
Me
Yeah
I’ve met him
Not me
Between my tall bike, recumbent, the left hand drive fixie ,and my 20-in trials bike, I think I got you beat on freak bikes. Zero competition on your unicycle skills though. I can't even mount one LOL. great videos 👍
Starting with the last wierd of them all
Everyone:waiting for fat ripper
Perm Beak:unicycle
I have a unicycle
PancakesFTW me too. Use it every day
Bruh that’s a three wheeled scooter
I pray who ever reads this becomes successful.
Thank You Bless you
Thank you bro
Seth is the reason I got a unicycle and now I ride it all the time. Thanks😜
You inspired my housemate to make a swing bike,
for context,
We have a collection of homemade bicycles
Most notably
:
The tandem with under-glow (cycling through multiple colours),
The down pointing bike (small thick wheel in front and normal wheel in the back),
The low bicycle with car handbrake (which was stolen recently T-T).
We are also planing to make a Tandem trailer trailer,
Because one trailer wasn't unsafe enough. ;-b
And plans to make a tall bike (with LEDs of course)
And a circus bike (Big wheel in front tiny wheel in the back)
Are on our backup list since we don't have enough people to do everything.
We do however have a pretty steady supply of parts,
Because we steal bicycles hours before they are scheduled to go to the dump,
This is actually a loophole that, according to the landlord, isn't illegal,
Because we're technically stealing trash that is disowned.
Our landlord's company even gave us permission to do this,
Providing us with a proper storage space so people won't complain.
(to be fair the graveyard we had at first was a real eye soar.)
3:16 this mans really lifted up that easily without standing??
How is bmx fat ripper weird it is 1000 dollars
There's better bikes cheaper
0:25 I never knew that Seth was a clown
You got my vote on the swing bike. I can see myself trying that and having fun.
For some reason my favorite video from seth
The SE fat ripper has to be my favorite one out of all of these bikes
I don't know anyone that rides a bike aside from those who can't afford cars. I don't know anyone who like bikes or skateboards for a hobby where I live. I just go around town, up and down stairs with a fat bike. I love it. I can haul ass with it too down the crappy sidewalks that are buckling and making little jumps on my way to the store for my lunch break. It's faster to get around than my skateboard and I use it in the afternoons mostly to bring me to my skatespots. It's odd to my friends who live out of state and ride bikes. one is a BMX guy and the other rides trails and camps out in AZ.
I half seen this 16 times and I can say most of it word for word
in my opinion, SE BIKES WILL ALWAYS BE THE KING OF THE STREETS
unicycle with two wheels. definitely a freak bike
Muscle bikes from the 60-70’s have to be my favourite freak bikes !
I have a unicycle, but can't really ride it yet. I would LOVE one of those giant BMX´s! And I've already started planning to build a swing bike!
Odditys are cool! And fun!
Love the grisly manor music in the beginning xd
i can vouch for not forgetting how to ride a uni i just picked mine up yesterday for the first time in 10 years and was straight back to being able to ride it
For me, the best was the halfbike. Its really making me interested on it (nope, not buying for I'm not rich heheh)
It's kind of a nice innovation for a very portable means of transport. And I think it also deserves a seat.
the one with fat tires isnt weird its actually kinda dope! it reminds me of the drag cars especially in the gear jammers class (youll understand what im talking about if your into drag racing) the fat and thicker tires go for better burnouts and last alot longer
My brother inlaw and I have unicycles and he has learned to ride it one footed. He lives and town and rides it to work when it is nice out. It's hilarious
My Raleigh shopper, it's old, slightly pitted and rusted and squeaks like hell but I don't care what people think, I love cruising around and the best part, I can leave outside unchained when I stop for a beer, ain't no one stealing a Raleigh shopper 😂
You need full foot petal support for the half bike, bike petals are not meant to be stood on! I had to mod my petals with 2x4 wood...
I always forget how great of a rider Seth is. Then I see these videos and I'm like holy shit this dude rips.
