    Great idea. These boxes from Toughbuilt out of ALL the similar companies are the most attractive slickest ones. They are practically a piece of tech furniture. I'd love to say they have the best latching but I think after studying everything in this product category from different companies, they don't seem to have the worst latching mechanism. Probably somewhere in the middle, plus points for convenience. I think some of the addons might be great for camping too, probably some hacks could provide good attachment cook process improvements. I see after finishing you did the paper towel roll. Fantastic.

    Video on how to grease the motor, please?

    • @SwervinAround
      @SwervinAround Місяць тому

      @@jthecrew It’s pretty straightforward. First remove the battery (put a rag down on the ground to protect the display) and flip the bike upside down on the handlebars. Then take a picture of the orientation of each wheel, specifically the lock washers (it’s the closest piece to the hub) to reference later. Disconnect the cables that go to each motor. Then take a wheel off and unscrew the bolts to the cover plate of the hub motor. For the front wheel, the cover plate is on the opposite side of the brake rotor. The back wheel, the cover plate is on the same side as the rotor so you’ll need a longer Allen wrench. Once you have a wheel off and the bolts to the cover plate removed, bang the axel on the opposite side of the cover plate with a mallet (you can also pick up the wheel and bang the axel on the ground too) until the motor starts sliding out of the housing. Once removed, rub a good amount of automotive grease inside the drum of the empty housing then wipe grease with your finger around the planetary gears (there’s 3) and axle. Then put it back together, screw the bolts back in and put the wheel back on. That’s all there is to it. Start with the front wheel since it’s easier and you’ll know what the motor looks like. The back wheel is trickier because you have to weave the axel and derailleur through the bike chain to get the wheel off. The derailleur is connected to the rear hub motor so it will come off with the wheel and stay connected. If using the ground instead of a mallet, pick up the rear wheel and bang the derailleur side of the axel onto the ground until the cover plate and break rotor comes off revealing the motor. Then grease it like you did the front. Once you put the wheel back on reconnect the wires and you’re all done. I’ll try and film a video of the process in the near future.

    What transmission issues? If DIYers use inreliable sources to do repairs then things may go south and not because of bad engineering, but because of stupid advices. There are numerous toyota cert techies on YT warning people about trans flash on high mileage cars. This applies to all brands and not only toyota. I have 2010 with 108k miles on it. The trans fluid was never flashed, so I had followed TheCarCareNut advice and just drain/fill the fluid. The trans shifts are butter smooth. BTW, I suggest you don't wait for the valley coolant leak to show its signs. Replace the coolant immediately and do it every 30k. There is no such thing as lifetime coolant. When fluid gets older its lime particules start to cristilize. Those cristals form in tight spaces and are responsible for sealant degradation. Most likely old fluid is also responsible for recent blown head gaskets on UR engines. The gasket is coated with soft black liner which causes all the mess. It always fails in the same spot around the coolant channel between cylinders. If cristals build up in that area as well then the liner stands no chance and looses the seal.

    Thanks for the review! I'm shocked to hear about the rear shocks- I've been researching this purchase for several months and this is the first I'm hearing about it. Also sad to hear about the customer service and the motor grease issue, but I appreciate the in-depth details! Overall, would you recommend buying this bike, or, would you suggest waiting a year or two to see if they do another refresh to fix some of the problems you mentioned? Also, how do you feel about the add-ons that they sell, like the baskets and racks? They seem incredibly expensive (their metal basket is listed for $250) and they don't seem worth it at all IMO

      @@mgsv_morbidslinky The customer service seems to be the case for a lot of big manufacturers. I see people complaining about super 73 and ride1up customer support all the time in their Reddit subs. It’s just frustrating to deal with. It’s more so for those that aren’t the hands on type. Personally, I don’t think waiting a year will change much in that regard. Maybe they’ll upgrade the suspension but you can always get aftermarket with a spacer. They’ve been around long enough to have a few generations of bikes by now so the lack customer support is probably not going anywhere. Overall the bike is a blast so if you’re into the e-moped style of bike and are comfortable doing your own maintenance (motor greasing, tightening spokes, cleaning drive train and chain etc) then I’d say it’s worth it. I will say this though if you plan on getting a second e-bike for a partner, I’d get a different brand. That way you’re not dealing with Pedals customer support on two bikes. I plan on doing that for my gf. I can’t speak for the other eco system parts but I do like the in frame basket. I keep one of those heavy kryptonite chains in it as well as a water bottle when riding. I’ve also stashed a hoodie in it when it’s hot so it’s definitely useful. The in frame is nice because you don’t ruin the aesthetics by loading up the cargo rack in the back or strapping a bag to it.

    Just bought a 2011 GX in the same color. Thanks for the inspiration, looking forward to a build as sick as yours!
