Awesome mirror for recumbents!
This is the third mirror I've tried for my recumbent trike (eCat Villager), and it's the best by far! I couldn't get a clear view with the others because they were too low and short, so the back of the control was always in the frame. I took a chance on this because my handles are vertical vs. horizontal, so I wasn't sure if I could install it. It solved the view interference problem because the stem is long and the mirror is large and has a great shape. It was easy to install and has three joints for many adjustable angles. It seems well-made, and the mirror gives crystal clear, wide-angle visibility. My first ride with it was a real treat--no more mirror frustrations!

GREAT RIGHT AND LEFT MIRRORS! DECENT SIZE AND LENGTH!
The media could not be loaded. This has pretty Good reviews. So I thought I would take a chance and buy a pair; right and left. They come in a very hard well-structured cardboard box but instructions are minimal on the back. One of the main concerns I had about buying the mirrors is that many types were too short on the neck . The design in some of these types of mirrors do not extend even past the handlebars. However, these mirrors are about 13" from base to the tip of the farthest upper corner of the mirrors. This worked out fine for me and gave me plenty of visibility past my shoulders.The the pair of mirrors come with a wrench and two plastic inner sizing rings that fit into the mount if needed. The inner rings are premolded to split in half. So you have a choice of using the full ring or a half ring or no ring. This makes the mount adaptable to various handlebar diameters. In my case on a Lectric e-trike I only needed to use half of one of the rings for each mount. It would have been nicer to not see the screw joint from the pilot position but it still looks fair. Not a big deal once you get out riding.The back joint of the mount seems a little weak. The joint is held together by a little pin. I suspect that would break down sooner than the front joint screw but only time will tell. If I had to complain that would be the one thing that really concerns me in the future. I have pictures to show how tiny that pin is that's holding joint mount together. I suppose many of them are made this way.You can angle the necks at the base of the mount and you can swivel the mirror at the base of the head where it attaches to the neck up and down. So along either axis you can easily get the mirror to face the angle you want. Keep in mind that the elevation (height) of your handle bars also determine what you will see in the mirrors. Very low handle bars way below your eye level will determine what you will be capable of seeing through these mirrors. The swivel of the mirrors where they connect to the neck have a ball swivel and this allows for nearly a full rotation. The swivel of the neck at the base is horizontal only and swings in or out. I was able to get the angle I needed perfectly.Someone online complained that all they see is their shoulder and not the street. This is easily fixed by angling the neck away from you as the pilot and working with the mirror swivel. They have a few joints that can be tightened or loosened by the wrench that comes with it. These mirrors seem well thought out and whether tall or short they will work!The mirrors are a decent size. They are flat and not curved so you will not get any distortion. Everything is molded out of hard plastic. Perhaps nylon plastic?? Anyway, they seem pretty solid. I have a video that shows a little bit more.I took them for a spin and the angles were great, no complaints. Since I am mostly riding on paved bike pads or occasional quiet neighborhood streets, I did not get any problems with these wobbling or coming with loose.I saved a couple of bucks by just buying a pair instead of buying them separate. I think it's worth it to get the set and it gives me a little bit of added security.I do recommend them!

I like
These are pretty cool. They give a nice look on my ebike as well as function really well. The wider mirrors give you a better range of view especially if you are limited on placement on your handlebars. Easy to install and adjust. I was surprised with the clarity and distance the visibility is with them. Im happy with this product and feel much safer riding around now being able to see what's coming up behind me. The movement is a bit limited but that's were the wider mirrors come nicely into play and really help.

Exactly what I needed for road safety
Sturdy; excellent reflection and easy to install. For road biking, you need one of these. Great quality; nice looking piece of equipment. Highly recommend

Excellent Quality and Visibility
Excellent quality and visibility. Shipping was quick. The arms are long and have enough movable joints that it makes it easy to adjust. The problem I had with other mirrors was that all I could see was my shoulder. With this mirror I get just a small amount of shoulder and the rest is open road. If I spent a bit more time adjusting, I could probably get rid the shoulder completely. The quality of the arms are good and the reflectiveness of the mirror is excellent. I would highly recommend.

Great mirror.
This mirror works great. Once I found the right spot I tightened more otherwise it moved going over bumps. It is still movea me but stays where I put it. Provides a great view of the road behind you.

Quality and stability while riding. Zero vibration
Got this mirror for my ebike. The prices for mirrors for ebike manufactures are extremely high price. This mirror actually extends out a little further past my shoulder so your rear view is not obstructed. The big plus for me is the stability, even on dirt roads. The rear view is very stable, easy to make out objects, such as cars, trucks, etc, very well made and no vibration while riding.

Fits my handle bars unlike other mirror competitors.
On Amazon, so many mirrors have negative reviews because of the mirror being blocked by shoulder and arm. This mirror was hard to find on reviews since there's such a confusing plethora of mirrors being offered. What was the most negative aspect of most mirrors is that my outside diameter was 24.25 mm and most seller's mirrors fell short of that in mounting the handlebar bracket. In this case of this mirror, it accepts up to 26 mm in outside diameter. This mirror is super flexible with its inner spacer so you can use the whole spacer, half the spacer or no spacer at all. My installation was super easy in that I was able to use the entire spacer without cutting it in half, making the fit tighter and easier to install. The arm of this mirror extends up to 13" on a diagonal from the bracket mount. This allowed me to see everything behind me because my arm or shoulder wasn't blocking the view. So many other mirrors on Amazon have shorter arms and complaints abound with view blockage. Not with this mirror. It's fantastic ! The build quality of this mirror is also great. All parts seem to be able to "take a licking and keep on ticking" !
