Heavy Electric Scooter - Up and Down Stairs - The Right Way!
If you live in a building without an elevator, and want to get a heavy electric scooter, you CAN transport it up and down even steep stairs using the right technique, even if you are not so strong, or the scooter is very heavy. I use a Janobike X-20 electric scooter (copy of X-Tron X-20 / X20 electric scooter) for this video.

    Not sure I understand. Normally the top stitch is what provides the pleasing esthetic quality, but you are putting it on the bobbin. Sorry, but I just don't understand why anyone would do that. Please enlighten me. Thanks. ( I do love the pace and detail of your vids).

    Great video. Very informative. Do you know if anyone makes a flat shank 140/22 needle that has a triangular point or other cutting point. The round needles will just not penetrate the leather well. I modify industrial needles but would rather buy already made up needles. Thanks.

  • @chairmankim9628
    @chairmankim9628 5 місяців тому

    I looked fo 140/22 needles with a flat shank but could not find any. I found them in industrial needles. The shank is round and the needles are longer. Also the point is a triangular point. I used a dremel too to grind the shank and make it flat 1.66 mm and also shortened it. It works perfectly. These are titanium and i was able to sew 1/2 inch leather. Works much better than round point.

      I agree some of them are junk - depends on the manufacturer (there are many). First one I had was garbage. But if you find a decent manufacturer they work just great. There is a reason the design hasn't changed in 150 years!

    For those who are saying its too slow ironically youre wrong. Its actually faster if you have a high speed scooter that can go faster than you getting a lightweight scooter that will take longer to get there Only exception is when youre onlt commuting a few miles at most and you're taking multiple floors upstairs

    Hello. Perhaps you can help. I bought the Chinese shoe patch machine in October of 2022. I spent a month watching videos, etc. For some reason I could not get the machine to pick up the bobbin thread. So frustrated I put in the closet for a year. Pulled it out recently, and finally fixed the bobbin thread issue. Once the bobbin pickup worked, then I had an issue of the upper thread breaking. Watched some more videos, and did some intense sanding of all the bobbin parts. That stopped the breaking. Now, the thread is too loose. Before I just immediately tighten the bobbin spring, can you tell what would be causing the bottom thread to be too loose on my finished tests?
