If I am going to ride a trike around the world, I want to make sure I know the inner workings of how it’s put together. So I returned to Kriftel, Germany to assemble my trike under the guidance of the knowledgeable and talented HP Velotechnik staff.
Anny came along with me on this trip, and was my camera-woman, while I got to work building my trike from the ground up. The whole process took about 3 days, and was well worth it.
HP Velotechnik is a company specialized in manufacturing recumbent bikes and trikes, and lead the industry. Find them at www.hpvelotechnik.com.
All the points in this video are mapped out on the JaYoe Map page, so if you are interested to go exploring yourself… you will know where to go. Check out the map page at: jayoe.com/map/#
The JaYoe Travelogues follow Matt as he rides his trike from China to USA. Thru 100 countries he ventures, seeing, doing and meeting along the way.

The thing about watching this again is I have been watching you for 5 years now, WoW how time has gone by, and now I am a trike owner. Thanks, Matt I have enjoyed it all. I still have the smile on my face from the first time I went out with my trike till this day I enjoy the time I have to ride. JaYoe.

You have motivated me to to take charge of my life!!!! ...and thank you HPV for building such an incredible bike!!!! Can't wait to follow your journey again!!!

The crash at the end made sense: black bike, not yellow: pretty bloody scarey. The build process was fascinating. After watching your videos I bought a Catrike Dumont, good, but not a beast like that scorpion but enough to get me around. I hope, when you get back to the USA that I can finally meet you and share a conversation over a Starbuck's.

I came from 23 yrs of bicycle road racing where I logged over 750,000 miles. I have ridden across the USA by mountain bike and had a Windcheetah Hypersport in the past and loved it until it broke in two at the cruciform joint. I have been barefoot ultra distance running for 10 yrs now and logged another 68,000 miles. You've reawakened my dream of riding all over the world :-) The trailer hitch: What trailer will you use? The USB charger port: Can I get the same thing through Velotechnik? If possible I would like to know all the specs of what you had customized for yourself including accessories so I can decide how much to replicate what you did? I will now begin from your first video and watch all of them. Thanks and I look forward to collaborating with you and perhaps meeting up out there one day in the near future.

Nice ride, Matt. Impressive quality control too. Velotech always was top of the line. I started out with a Trident Stowaway II. Currently have a Catrike 5.5.9 with an infinite gear ratio NuVinci N380 hub in the rear and a Bafang BBS-02 48v 750w electric pedal assist on the front. I ride it mostly in manual mode. Electric is for those five mile long mountain grades or an emergency instantaneous boost. 30 mph uphill on demand is a nice feature to have. The 750 watt BBS02 is barely street legal BTW but can be reprogrammed to perform like the BBS03 1000 watt which is not street legal... 50 mph. My guess, they are the exact same motor. If you ever decide to go that way its easily adaptable to your trike; just make sure you get the beefier mosfet controller that can take the higher current draw. Only regret, I didn't wait for the new Cat with the main rear shock absorber like yours.

Hi man, I like bicycles, I love mine, I'm jealous of yours, which of the different Scorpion models you chose and why? which was the specification that made you decide yours over the other models? If you could choose again and assuming you would again choose a scorpion which one would you choose this time? or if not a totally different model which specification you would change if you could? or what are you missing on your trike if anything? Peace and good luck.

Very well done, and I'm excited to catch up on the previous 31... You show your thinking process, and that is refreshing... Is there a beginning that I can start with? Is there a vlog labeled chapter 1? I saw a PBS program about a guy who quit his job, moved to Alaska, and built a cabin by hand... He took video's and explained the process...

JaYoe.. what led you to the 406 rear wheel instead of the 559..?

@JaYoeNation 7 жыл бұрын

i just chose the ones recommended by HP... apologize for being ignorant.. what is the difference?

@rdkuless 7 жыл бұрын

ETRTO 406 (20") is a stiffer wheel, more agile in cornering. but you loose gear inches over the 26". ETRTO 559 (26") looses lateral stiffness, wider turning radius, but has much smoother ride (don't feel the potholes as much) HP may have suggested the 406 to avoid trailer jackknife. I have always rode the 559 because I like the smoothness. You have to be having the time of your life. I'm living vicariously thru you right now. My trike was totaled last week when a driver ran the red light and collided with the boom. Trike frame was bent. Boom, motor and cranks are bent. Total loss. I got a concussion. I'm lucky that I wasn't a few seconds sooner into the intersection or I would have been run over. I'm on the mend. Hopefully, back on a new trike soon. It is so important to video tape every ride, I got the whole collision, EMT and police officer interaction on video. She admitted to running the red light. Video tape every moment of your rides. Insurance companies cannot debate facts. Ride Safely and always wear your helmet. My Smith Forefront helped reduce my injuries. Great helmet. Not to split hairs, Ignorance means that you know the facts and choose to ignore the facts. It is an old Latin word derived from "Ignore" That is why the phrase, "ignorance of the law is not an excuse" It shows intent to brake the law.. It is confused with the word Nescient, Nescience which means that you just didn't know because you lack knowledge on a particular subject. We are all nescient in one way or another because we are human. Stupid means that the person does not have the capacity to learn. It is a medical condition. The English language has been so bastardized. LOL The beauty is that if we have capacity to learn, we can grow. Life is good. I want to meet you when you return to Portland, I will have a new trike soon. :) PEACE my friend.

@jamesneilsongrahamloveinth1301 4 жыл бұрын

There is a safety issue with recumbents - they are low on the road and difficult for other road users to see. The silly little flags that people use are ineffective. A normal bike rider can wear a bright yellow high visibility jacket or tabard - very effective - but this does not work with a recumbent because the seat back gets in the way. Keeping the lights on all the time helps but there need to be design solutions. The back of the seat could be of high viz material or there could be bolt on high viz placards. Lorries have it after all - by law a lorry has to have 'conspicuity markings' on the back. Manufacturers need to get to grips with the this issue . . .
