@@behrbuildsbikes Hi! I managed to get my bike together but the front wheel is not spinning (at least not smoothly). Ive watched your video dozens of times. Would you be able to share any possible causes for this problem? Thank you in advance.
I'm going to assume that the disc brake is going to be the issue, as it can be difficult to adjust. As long as the wheel is centered in the frame/fork, I would shine a flashlight up through the brake caliper and look to see if the disc rotor is making contact with the brake pads in the caliper. You can loosen the two bolts that hold the caliper to the frame/fork and adjust the caliper position to allow clearance of the rotor while the wheel is spinning without activating the brake lever. You may also want to check that the hub of the wheel is not over tight or binding by spinning the wheel when it is not installed on the bike. Just a note, be very careful when working around the rotor on the wheel. It has very sharp edges and can easily cut your hands if your not vigilant as to where you grab the wheel. I hope this helps. Hopefully you are able to make the necessary adjustments to allow your wheel to spin freely. If problems continue, I would seek an authorised service center to assess the issue and hopefully it is a simple fix, rather than a defective part. Thanks for watching.😁👍
When I’m trying to tighten my top hex screw to tighten my handlebars, it’s just rotating and rotating and not locking in or connecting with anything. I don’t know what to do at this point
It sounds like the wedge bolt at the bottom of the stem....inside the headtube...has fallen down inside the headtube/steertube....or it has become stripped. Take the stem back out of the headtube and see if the wedge is still attached. If not, it probably fell down inside the tube. You may have to remove the front wheel and push the wedge bolt back up through the steertube with a long slender object, like a long screwdriver or other similar tool. Once you get it out, reattach it to the bottom of the hex bolt and try again to install it. If the wedge or bolt have damaged/stripped threads, then you will need to get replacement parts from a local bike shop or from the dealer that sold you the bike. I hope this helps. Thanks for watching 😎👍
Check all the connections and that that battery is fully charged. It may be as simple as a loose connection, although you may want to contact the seller to let them know that there may be an issue, and hopefully they can help you get the problem resolved. Thanks for watching.👍😁
It was a Palmetto bug....a relative of the cockroach. It went out with the cardboard box, which is where they prefer to live, and my exterminator service sprays the whole house monthly for such things....as most of my fellow South Florida neighbors do too. My garage is separate from the main house anyway, and I don't worry about these things getting inside my home. Thanks for your concern though.😁👍
Depending upon how much effort you want to assist by pedaling along with the motor, will determine the range and how well it climbs bridges. Rider weight will also be a factor in how well this bike performs. These have a 350 watt motor. They also make a 500 watt and a 750 watt as well.
Good looking ebike, but with the rider and the battery in the back there are too much weight in the back. Ide preferred relocation of the battery in the mid section.
Most of the newer models have the battery integrated into the down tube of the frame. I think it will protect the battery better and help distribute the weight better on the bikes.😁👍
I have 2 of the ones in the video. I am waiting on a shipment of more and some other models as well. I will post the other models once I have them here.
I'm not sure if Bonnie Rae Dahl rode this particular model, but it would have been a shame to leave such a nice bike abandoned at the edge of Deerfield Park. ( No, I did not read the novel ) Lol.👍😁
I cannot express enough how helpful this is, I opened up the box and was dumbfounded, Thanks for the easy to learn explanation 💪
You're very welcome 😊👍
Building this bike right now, I'm so happy I found this video 🫂
This video is super timely! I just purchased this exact model.
Thank you😊
You're very welcome. I am trying to get as many different models onto the channel as possible. Thank you for watching. 😃

@@behrbuildsbikes thank you so much!
No problem. I hope you were able to fix the issue.😁👍

This is way better than the instructions provided!!! Unfortunately the one my wife got wont turn on amd we have no idea why.

2:59 The size of that cockroach! That doesn’t concern you?

Florida moment
how does it ride Climb bridges, range? Thanks

Can you assemble my bike? I got a Beaumont plus and the instructions from retrospect are not very good
Are you in Florida?
Do you have any at the store now? 500W or 350W color?
I have 2 of the ones in the video. I am waiting on a shipment of more and some other models as well. I will post the other models once I have them here.
this is Bonnie's bike from Stephen King's latest novel?

Lol.👍😁
