00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:08,360
I'd call the smart ped a scooter but fly cly is calling it a kick assist ebike

2
00:00:05,839 --> 00:00:13,160
the perfect Urban getaway and the Most Wanted piece of Transportation Tech in

3
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:17,600
any City the concept here is simple the smart ped will use its electric motor

4
00:00:14,839 --> 00:00:22,640
not to accelerate but to maintain whatever speed you kick it into up to 16

5
00:00:20,039 --> 00:00:27,480
mph and I must confess that it does sound and look pretty cool but is it

6
00:00:25,119 --> 00:00:38,040
cool and is it worth $1,000 no it's not

7
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:45,320
Intel brings ddr4 to the mainstream with their new core i76700 K and core i56600k

8
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:51,320
processors check out the link in the video description to learn more you're a

9
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:52,640
fly C smart pet wearing this yeah is it

10
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:58,399
funny or not kin you are funny it's too late to

11
00:00:55,680 --> 00:01:02,960
change so originally lonus was going to review the Smart Pad but when we got it

12
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:06,799
both tires were completely deflated which wouldn't have been a problem

13
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:11,960
except that the front wheel has a shraer valve while the back wheel has a Presta

14
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:17,200
Valve what and because the Smart Hub that powers the rear wheel is in the way

15
00:01:14,759 --> 00:01:21,360
there's so little space to insert a pump and it's nearly impossible to inflate

16
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:25,720
this tire this was enough of an inconvenience that lonus never got

17
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:30,560
around to fixing it and told me to figure it out and do the review sure so

18
00:01:28,320 --> 00:01:35,000
I picked up a press a valve conver and after trying about a dozen pumps I

19
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:39,880
finally found one that was low profile enough to fit in here and inflate the

20
00:01:37,479 --> 00:01:45,880
tire right so now let's charge it up shall we except I don't see anywhere to

21
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:48,159
insert the cable H and this thing didn't

22
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:54,280
come with a manual turns out that the charge port is in the axle hidden

23
00:01:50,719 --> 00:01:56,079
underneath this bolt huh okay so now

24
00:01:54,280 --> 00:02:00,799
we're ready to go right we'll connect it with the fly cly app and nope the app

25
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:04,799
doesn't connect at all people sure aren't happy about that more on this

26
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:09,879
later well let's just try it without the app now the smart ped doesn't have a

27
00:02:07,399 --> 00:02:14,080
throttle so you have to push off the ground to get it going and it seems to

28
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:18,360
take several pushes before it will engage the motor even pushing with all

29
00:02:16,319 --> 00:02:23,920
my might I've never been able to get the smart ped to move very fast despite

30
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:29,480
being well under the weight limit and that's just on level ground but going

31
00:02:26,239 --> 00:02:31,599
downhill is also slow because of the

32
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:36,239
regen generative break I wish I could just turn this feature off furthermore

33
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:40,680
even the slightest uphill will slow it down significantly and if it gets any

34
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:45,959
steeper the motor will shut off completely you can try helping it along

35
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:51,640
by pushing with your leg but it's exhausting the best way to get up a hill

36
00:02:48,159 --> 00:02:53,519
with a smart ped is to get off and walk

37
00:02:51,640 --> 00:02:58,879
and sometimes especially if you're going fast the smart ped refuses to lock in

38
00:02:56,400 --> 00:03:03,319
any speed at all so you'll just slow down until you roll to a stop unless you

39
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:07,799
kick off to get the motor going again you see because the smart ped doesn't

40
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:12,159
have a throttle control the smart hub wheel has to guess how fast you want to

41
00:03:10,239 --> 00:03:16,120
go and it has to guess whether you've applied the brakes or not that's

42
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:20,319
probably why it just gives up when you encounter a hill so much for all those

43
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:24,000
fancy sensors and programming so wherever you're going you're going to be

44
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:28,959
pretty sweaty by the time you get there and I'm no lightweight I ride a bike

45
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:33,840
everywhere I have never owned a car in my life so when I say the Smart Pad is

46
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:38,000
slow and exhausting I mean it to quantify this I decided to Benchmark the

47
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:42,200
smart pet and compare it to all the other vehicles we have lying around the

48
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:46,840
office so that's my bicycle my crappy Razor scooter the zboard electric

49
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:51,599
skateboard lines reviewed here and of course the Lamborghini the course I

50
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:57,480
chose for testing begins at the office goes down this long Flat Road then up a

51
00:03:54,640 --> 00:04:03,519
hill down a hill around this roundabout and back the same way to the office that

52
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:05,959
has a total of 2.2 km wow at 10 minutes

53
00:04:03,519 --> 00:04:11,480
for the round trip the smart pet only beat the JD Razer scooter which by the

54
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:15,920
way has no motor and only cost me five bucks at a garage sale to make this

55
00:04:13,799 --> 00:04:20,639
review I've been using the Smart Pad as my daily driver instead of my bike for

56
00:04:18,280 --> 00:04:25,040
all of my errands around town that's the whole point right cruising through the

57
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:30,360
city or commuting to work but it's not clear to me if the smart ped is actually

58
00:04:27,479 --> 00:04:35,120
a vehicle or not it's way way too slow for the street but it's too fast for the

59
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:41,639
sidewalk making it feel dangerous both ways wo wo wo wo wo wo wo hey what the

60
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:45,960
also fly cly says you can take the smart ped on public transportation but it

61
00:04:44,039 --> 00:04:50,280
doesn't fit in a bike holder on the front of a bus and most of the bus

62
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:55,400
drivers I talked to wouldn't even let me bring the smart ped onto the bus even

63
00:04:53,039 --> 00:04:59,800
when fold it up it's just too big this one doesn't even have a joint right here

64
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:03,960
now it rains a lot in the Vancouver area and the smart pet appears to be

65
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:08,880
resistant to rain which is great but this regular version doesn't have a back

66
00:05:06,639 --> 00:05:14,720
Fender and this means that the back of your pants will get absolutely soaked

67
00:05:11,759 --> 00:05:19,280
with water and mud even on short trips unless you mcgyver yourself a solution

68
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:23,280
out of a milk jug like I did works pretty well actually by this point in

69
00:05:21,319 --> 00:05:28,960
the review I realized that I was supposed to be using the bit Ride app

70
00:05:26,039 --> 00:05:33,680
and not the fly cly app which I learned after finally my hands on the

71
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:38,600
pathetically short manual I tried a couple of the different modes settling

72
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:42,080
on turbo mode which seems to help with

73
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:43,759
hill climbing a little bit but not much

74
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:49,479
I'd like to make some recommendations for the Fly cight 2 or whatever but I

75
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:54,600
don't know if there's any point because basically the whole thing is bad and the

76
00:05:52,479 --> 00:05:58,400
final conclusion about this product can pretty much be summed up with one final

77
00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:03,919
story from the two months I've been using it I completed an entire trip with

78
00:06:01,199 --> 00:06:08,599
the fly cly without realizing that a small piece of wire had broken off

79
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:14,160
inside the power connector shorting it out the smarted motor wasn't even

80
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:19,080
working and I couldn't tell the difference that combined with the

81
00:06:16,319 --> 00:06:23,880
rusting body and foldable stem that doesn't even lock in place sometimes

82
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:29,120
makes it impossible for me to recommend the smart ped to anyone and from the

83
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:33,000
looks of the angry feedback from Kickstarter backers both the ones that

84
00:06:31,280 --> 00:06:38,080
did receive products and those who didn't I'm not the only one disappointed

85
00:06:35,639 --> 00:06:41,960
