Small but useful. - Bike mirror

Amazing view from such a small mirror. Being able to hide it inside you for protection is a plus. Many different angles and positions are possible to position it just right. A downside is the ease with which it's hit out of position. I found a tiny screw on one side of the pivot and when you tighten it it stays in place nicely. It easily fits in my wide palm without having to slide it into the crossbar. Well done, great invention.

Pros
  • The best in its niche
Cons
  • Negative is present

Too small. Too expensive, too weak

They are so small that they are completely useless. If you see a vehicle behind you, it is already overhead. I bought two of these mirrors, the first one had stains on the mirror that couldn't be removed. The second had a broken screw so you couldn't tighten the pivoting part of the mirror. For the price, QC should be much better. I really wanted to like them but they make it hard to work with such poor workmanship. There are many other options, I suggest you look for other software for your…

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • Band

Update: short-lived, but initially "just right, not tasteless. "

Small but effective for off-road driving, naturally with a low profile. Saves space on the steering wheel. I think seeing closer drivers or pedestrians in the mirror is enough, close enough to start worrying about your ride. Update: After 3 1/2 months this mirror no longer holds onto the handlebar end. It just spins no matter how hard I tighten or reset it. I'm behind a back window so now I'm stuck with a useless mirror. Everything was fine while it lasted. I just ordered a bar from Hafni to…

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Unnecessary features

Overpriced little convex mirror

Works well (mostly) it would be nice to increase the zoom on it to see better otherwise only spots that look like something are visible while driving but so far are a lot nah, you can't tell what it really is or how it moves. The mirror tends to move with every hit (loose position), not strong enough for some roads, definitely not for trails. Also, just a mirror for that much money? Overpriced!. Compare the technology and materials invested in some rebuilt bike light brands and you can get them

Pros
  • Dope 🔥
Cons
  • Hard to say

Great product to keep you safe on the road.

This product was exactly what I was looking for. I didn't want a large bulky mirror sticking out on the handlebars or the side as I often carry my bike in the back of my SUV rather than on a bike rack. Much better to have this compact mirror, it doesn't get in the way and doesn't risk breaking when transporting my bike. It does what it was designed to do and lets you know VERY clearly and accurately if something is happening on your end. I liked it so much that I immediately ordered one for the

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Some flaws

Wanted to please but too small for my needs

I really wanted this mirror - it seemed comfortable, the price was right and it was very discreet on my bike. The problem was that it was too small for my needs. The image in the mirror was tiny and I couldn't see the cars coming up behind me until they were too close to see them in the mirror. This was especially true when I was on a street with cars parked along the curb - it was almost impossible to tell a moving car from a parked car as the overall picture was very small. The idea of a…

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.

But it works. - Accessory

Don't get me wrong, it works as advertised. There are no complaints. I have an e-bike, so a lot is happening on the handlebars. I didn't want the rearview mirrors to look like the insect antennae on my e-bike handlebars or dangling from the handlebars, so I went for something more minimalistic. Then why 3 stars? Quality .. it's just not there. Didn't expect better quality but for $35 for plastic and pc mirror. I think it will survive a fall. After a fall, when the body of the e-bike took most…

Pros
  • Easy install
Cons
  • Not sure

Great little mirror for electric scooter

I've been looking for a mirror to fit my electric scooter and this seems to be the one. The other options either didn't go over the edge far enough to see past my hands, rumbled too much from road vibrations, or were flimsy and would likely break when the scooter was folded and transported. Corky Urban seems to be handling most of these issues well. Pros: The rubber seal allows for use with a variety of grips, even those that don't end up having holes for side mirrors. Let's get to the other…
