Did You Know There Were Ebikes For Tweens & Shorter Adults too?

While walking the show, I noticed one ebike seemed smaller than others I've looked at, so I ask about it. The answer is in the video we shot about The Healy Ridge mountain ebike from Schwinn. Here are details from the company: Go the extra mile and discover new adventures with the Healy Ridge mountain electric bike by Schwinn. Great for trails and riding around town, the Healy ridge features a durable alloy frame with a coil sprung suspension fork to smooth out bumps on the trail. The 250-watt pedal assist hub motor amplifies the effort you put into pedaling, up to 20 mph. Choose between several levels of assistance, or ride without it completely – you’re always in control. The battery is semi-integrated into the downtube for a low center of gravity and a more stable ride. The battery lasts for approximately 25 miles on a single charge, depending on conditions. Easily recharge in 4 hours with a standard household outlet and included charging cable. MSRP $1099, but it was on Amazon for $949.99 of a 8/4/22,

Vinyl Continues to Sell Big!

Vinyl is still out selling CDs, so Victoria is introducing The Re-Spin. The company says it offers superior sound quality, as well as reduced weight and size. The Re-Spin includes a built-in custom-tuned Bluetooth speaker and powerful bass radiator for updated sound quality that goes beyond what is found in a traditional suitcase record player. The ruby stylus helps produce the best-sounding turntable with three times more bass when compared to other record players in its class. A patent-pending anti-vibration speaker enclosure lets listeners turn up the volume without worrying about vibrations causing skips and scratches. Stream music from any Bluetooth-enabled device– or by Vinyl Stream, a technology that allows records to be streamed from Re-Spin to any external Bluetooth speaker. For wired connections, Victrola has a headphone jack and RCA ports. And yes, it comes with a 45 RPM adapter and internal pre-amp for home stereo listening. The dust cover from the record player can display up to five albums during their listening sessions. Coming September 1^st, available in four colors, MSRP $99.99.

Meet The Pilot Frixion, the erasable ballpoint pen!

I never knew there was an 'erasable ballpoint pen'! But there were a lot of Pilot Frixion Erasable Pens at the New Products Show. I tried and was impressed with the way they work. Some more info from the company: FriXion is the first erasable fine point marker pen. Its unique thermo-sensitive ink formula lets you erase and rewrite repeatedly with ease without ruining the page. The FriXion gel ink pen writes smooth & erases clean. (I was amazed at how it erases and there are no shavings to dust away.) Frixion is the 1st and only pen authenticated by the nation’s leading STEM accreditation and education organization. Over at Amazon you'll find a huge assortment of styles in the FriXion line. They can cost as little as $1.06 when bought in packages. ($ as of 8/4/22)

Chad's Crappy Corner and his new 'cheap gadget' theme for August.

Chad's cheap them for August as picked by our loyal Patreons is "Gadget As Seen on TV".

And Chad's 1^st cheap "as seen on TV" gadget is the Doohickey Cameraman Rotating 360° Smart Phone Holder with Face and Object Tracking Recognition. From Amazon: Our smart phone holder rotates 360 degrees tracking your movements, face, and objects. It automatically rotates steadily with your movements allowing you to free your hands. Doohickey App Integrated that allows you to interact with your cameraman. It supports vertically or horizontally modes. Doohickey Cameraman phone holder is compatible with most smartphones iPhones and Android. It also comes with a standard screw thread at the bottom that can be mounted on a tripod.y and Parker turntables.

And Chad's take: Chad thought the Doohickey Cameraman itself was so-so, but that the app was really crap. What's really strange is that the price showed $39.95 on Walmart, but when Chad put it in his basket, it dropped to $11. That's good, because I found it for $10 on Amazon. For that price a kid might have fun with it, with all it flaws. You'll see Chad do a full demo on this week's show.

************************************

Dick’s Gadget Warehouse & How To Submit Your Video To Win An Autographed Copy of MAD Magazine.

We’d love to include your video in an upcoming Giz Wiz Show! Here's what we're looking for! Your home shot video – 2 to 3 minutes long, in any of the following categories:
I bought a piece of crap: Did you buy something you ended up hating? We won't get you a refund, but we might be able to give a platform to vent your disappointment. Remember, "family friendly" language applies.
-
I invented this! Did you invent something? (Or did a friend or relative invent something.) We can't market it for you, but we can help get the word out. Show us what it is, and how it works. Even if it's a prototype, you can get our (and the audience) reactions. No professional ads please.
-
My Gadget Warehouse: Okay, so you don't have a warehouse. It doesn't matter. Just tell us about your favorite old gadget(s). When and where you bought it, and why you're still hanging on to it.
-
My Favorite Gadget (favorite old, or favorite new): Show us what it is, tell us what it does and why you love, or loved it! It can be a new gadget you just bought too.
-
Post them on YouTube and send us the link! We'll do the rest. (Or possibly nothing, but that's unlikely.) Remember, videos should be just 2 to 3 minutes long! Low production value is fine, but we should be able to hear you and see you! If we select and show your video on The Giz Wiz you’ll earn a tiny amount of fame (hopefully). And if you live in the US, you'll also get an autographed 38+ year old Alfred E. Neuman picture and a MAD surprise (most likely the current issue of MAD.) But no matter where you live outside of US, I can autograph an Alfred E. Neuman photo to you, scan it & email you a high res copy if we show your video. Just print it out, frame it, or just hang it up and no one will know it's a copy. We've tested it out and fans say they look terrific! If you submitting warehouse videos for a second, third time, etc., you'll get the current issue of MAD as a thank you.

All show submissions go to mail@gizwiz.tv
