i made the video with these cheap sun glass video camera. it actually does a really nice job for 20 bucks http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hot-Cam-Sun-Glasses-Camera-DVR-DV-Video-Surveille-Camcorder-Security-/130758298547?pt=US_Security_Cameras&hash=item1e71cd4bb3

A lot cheaper than my $300.00 GoPro and a pretty good video .

ACSPAUL , I wanted to thank you for you idea of mounting the battery in the frame . My Nirve Chopper looks and handles so much better . Rod

that does look great! I love the nerve bikes. glad it worked for you and it looks good to. if you want take the bike to an automotive paint store and they can make you a spray can of paint that will match the bike perfect if you decide to paint the battery and mounts

  Hah , I have an almost 18 year old truck that needs painting first . I bought paint for the mount several weeks ago . I was afraid that I would void my warranty when I turned the charging port around  so I could plug it in . I am still not done with the mount . I pop riveted the mounting plate to the L brackets . I have since bought the flat headed screws and chrome cap nuts . I haven't decided if I want to break out my wire feed welder to tack the flat head screws or not . My wife has taken over my work area with her mosaics . Rod

In the discussion on your YouTube video page we we talking about left hand USA cars driving on the left side of the road. I found red neck solution for you.

Nice video, looks like an awesome place to live. The ride to work looks quick but I bet the ride home isn't so fast, that looked like one loooong hill you were going down.

that was only a short part of the ride. I live on a beach on the north shore of the island and work on the south shores so its up and down mountains. I am impressed though. the Magic Pie 3 does 17mph up the mountains no problem without pedaling however I keep it around 22 mph and get my exercise for the day lol. the ride to work is around 10 miles. nice part is I have put around 3,000 miles or 4,800 km and still have not ridden in the rain. most of our rain is after dark and I don't ride at night. actually the funnest part of the ride is going up the mountain. if their  is other bikers i  fly past them and they have a look like that old man with the beer gut is on a big heavy cruiser flying by me pedaling his tail off and not even sweating  .
