To start street parties with music, ghetto blaster bicycles are used worldwide for this purpose. People bring the party with them wherever they peddle.
From high-powered bass to eye-catching custom designs, people from all different cultures - for all different types of music - are building speaker systems onto their bicycles, bikes, tricycles, and trikes.
If you’ve got low-income like me, so chromed-out customers are out of you budget, then I highly recommend the purchase of one JBL Bluetooth Speaker and one Bicycle Mount.
Installing custom bicycle audio systems onto a bicycle is professional work. Working with electricity on a metal bicycle is dangerous work with risk of injury or death.
Please stay safe.
Electric shock aside, mounting a huge speaker onto your bicycle could make it hard to ride. With clunky speakers causing balance issues and back-tire racks that rattle when the bass hits low.
If you’re not trained to DIY, then seriously consider a JBL speaker and mount.
Good ghetto blaster bicycle riders start street parties responsibly!
