I just ordered this bike yesterday and i gotta say u have some EXTREMELY helpful videos about mods and upgrades/technical stuff like replacing battery and controller etc which i really appreciate, being that one of my worries with this bike is something goes wrong and id have to just scrap it and get a new one, but with ur videos im confident i could replace a lot of the stuff in the bike. Thank you!! Im watching a lot of ur videos and definitely subscribed!
This video just saved me $160.00! I remembered it, and my Jetson's brakes needed replacement. The bike shop wanted to charge $20.00 (per pad), and $80 for labor. Buying the pads on Amazon and doing it myself saved me a week's worth of groceries! THANK YOU again.
Thanks for this helpful video. Unfortunately, it seems they changed the tolerance on calipers on newer Bolt Pro models, and made the diameter 1-2mm smaller. No BB5 pads I’ve purchased will fit (not even the Corki ones you pictured at the start of the vid). So when you try to put your first pad in and move it up and out of the way (like what you show at 8:24), it won’t go up - and so the 2nd pad can’t even be slotted in. The only option I’ve seen is to grind about 1-1.5mm off of the backing plate. I’m not sure why there’s a discrepancy between older and newer models, but Jetson won’t respond to any of my support requests.
I have an ancheer 14 inch I love it. I drive a semi truck for a living so it's nice to toss my ebike in the passengers seat and when im done driving for the day I go for a bike ride. I appreciate your channel it's very helpful
I'm new to your videos and having an ebike. My pads we installed wrong and pads weren't the correct one. Thank you so much, now i know how to installed them myself.
Bought 2 of these because of you! Love it. We can’t stop risking it every chance we get! When new, the range was around 10 miles. After breaking in the battery, we are seeing better range now or it could be the warmer weather.. keep up the good work!
Hi Hung, that is awesome. Thank you very much for your support. This bike has been amazing for the last 8 months. Warmer weather definitely helps with the range.
After doing a pad swap and fluid flush on my hydraulic disk brakes (shimano) this brings be back to the simple BMX bike fixes... miss those days. Granted I have stripped down all my bikes to bare frame and built custom built about 5 bikes over time so most repairs seem easy by comparison. Great video!

@@corywilliams3688 Sorry didn't see your earlier comment. Are you talking about the disc? If so, most likely the allen screws are loose. You might have to remove the tires to fully tighten them. Check my video here on how to remove the tires: ua-cam.com/video/9J8PMWywWvE/v-deo.html
Thanks Shiva! I'm definitely gonna try what I've learned because I'm still getting a loud hum from the rear brake - even when I push the bike very slowly. I'm trying not to return/replace the bike because the price went up $50!
Hello, yes the price did go up on this bike unfortunately. Perhaps the brake pads are rubbing against the disk? Try using the adjuster as I showed in my video to loosen the brakes a bit, it might help. If not, you might need new brake pads. Thank you for watching all my videos and supporting my channel.
Great Video... ! Thanks. I've saved several of your videos so that I can refer back to them as I start working on modifications to my newly purchased Jetson Bolt. I think you do a GRAET job explaining stuff..!
Great video, I went to do the replacement and I learned my pads don't have the notch. I just cleaned the old pads and adjusted them for now. Where did you buy the ones with the notch. I can't seem to find them anywhere.
great videos, can you please make one for how to secure the quick stem release, so there is absolutely no way it can fold when that plastic piece breaks and not cause an accident. or how to replace the pin and or that safety piece of plastic
Nice video. Very useful information. I was going to adjust(shorten) the cable to tighten my rear brakes. But it looks like you can tighten brakes by turning the adjuster as needed as the pads wear out. Thanks.
Thank you very much! Yes, try adjusting the pads, it might help. Just make sure the wheels can rotate freely, otherwise the disk will eat up the pads even more.
You have been so helpful to me and you have been very nice about it it hard to find info for my jetson bolt your easy to understand and make it a relief for me to get info that is actually HELPFUL Thank man your the best I'm a big fan now Tim Lopez San Diego Ca.
Hi Tim, thank you very much for your kind words. I really appreciate it. I make these videos to help out as many of my viewers as I can and I am honored to hear feedback like this. THANK YOU!
thank you for this great video. Would it be possible for you to show us how to adjust the brakes when the disc is contact with pads and with the break assembly? My rear brake is still making noise and its coming from the disc. I have already tried the adjuster but there is still noise and I read it maybe the disc rubbing against the break assembly.
I can make a video in the future with that tutorial. I wonder if your brake caliper is bent somehow? When you check your brakes, do you see the clearance? If you can rotate the wheel freely, the problem might be elsewhere. Sometime putting some lubricant on the hub (bearings) solves the noise issue. Thanks for watching my videos.
I need help replacing my hand brake. I recently bought it from another individual and the right hand brake was broken. I bought a new one on Amazon and now I’m having trouble with the emergency choke wiring replacement. Thank you!
Shiva, You truly are one in a million making the time to share your intricate Engineering knowledge and apply it to the many aspects of maintenance and upgrading the Jetson Bolt Pro plus while I cannot speak for others I find all of your videos wonderfully easy to follow and complete !

Thank you so much for providing all these detailed and easy to follow tutorials. I went ahead and bought two of these ebikes because of you! Please continue making videos :) PS: I see some people have upgraded their brakes with hydraulic ones; I would love if you consider doing that mod and making a video with it.
Hi Shiva, can you do a video on how to replace a broken throttle? There is no video on how to replace a broken throttle. My jetson bolt pro broke. I am not sure where to buy a replacement. I do not want to buy a generic one because Im not sure if it is the correct throttle. Jetson's website does not show any throttle replacement part.
Hello, here is a video I did on a thumb throttle. The process would be the same for a twist throttle. Pleas check the wirings through, some Bolt Pro have different wiring than mine. Thanks. ua-cam.com/video/F9nTOhPg-e8/v-deo.html
Shiva, The hex bolts bolts holding the caliper unit probably have a thread lock compound applied at assembly. Application of a hot air heat gun makes removing the bolts very easy as it softens the anaerobic bond of the thread lock compound. Upon reassembly, introduce new thread lock. Bob's your uncle.
Hey i got a question regarding these bikes. How tight should the chain be on these as i have a very similar bike and my chain is extremely tight and I'm concerned about wrecking the back bearing. How tight should the chain be?
thanks for video, in my case wire is slipping, do you have any video for that? back break is working but making sound. front wheel break is slipping, i tried to tighten but it doesn't hold the grip, do i need to change wire?
I have an issue where the front brake is constantly rubbing, but not from the adjustable side. It is rubbing on the pad that is attached to the main brake assembly. Is there a way to adjust that side pad too? I think this may have happened after my daughter hit a curb that was too high so possibly the wheel got shifted or something too. I can’t quite figure out what the issue is but the disc is constantly rubbing on the pad and the wheel does not spin freely. Any tips to check? Thanks
Hello, it could be a few things. My guess would be that the disc bent slightly causing it to rub on the pads. You can certainly remove the brake assembly and check if the disc is bent and you can try to make it straight. If the disc is bent, you can also purchase a new one. However, I would have a bike shop take a look at it since it could be dangerous to ride when the wheel doesn't rotate freely.
Your videos are really helpful, Thanks! My front wheel is rubbing and I've tried adjusting that wide bolt you show in this video, however, the pad that is rubbing against the disc is the other one, the one closer to the black mount. As soon as I mount the black thing (caliper?) to the frame, the pad already touches the disc. Any idea how to adjust that? I've tried losening the brake cables but the pad still touches the disc even without any pression to the cable. Thank you
helpful videos! You have inspired me to do more maintenance on my bike! would this work with the previous jetson bolt model? My brakes just don't work anymore
Nice video. But I purchased the bb5 pads and they don't fit. Like many others they say they don't fit. And you have to grind to make fit. And I can't find anything from jetson to order the proper pads. Bad business. Everything is from online people. That claim they fit the jetson pro. But don't. Very up setting. Do you have any recommendations to get right pads. Thank you.
That was a great episode, Shiva! I never thought about brake pads for all of these vehicles coming with disc brakes. I guess that you have to be careful with the hydraulic disc brakes on more expensive models? I thought that this video was going to be about doing your own brake service on a Tesla Model 3. When you live where they salt the roads, every two years the pads should be removed and the back of the pads need a lubricant and you have to check for rust, because the pads are rarely used and rarely get hot, there can be a lot of rust. The second part of your video was going to be about your electric bike.
Hi Mitchell, hope you are doing well. Thank you very much for watching my video and supporting my channel. My apologies if my title was confusing. Yes, this bike doesn't have hydraulic disc brakes so the repairs are easier. I don't think I will attempt brake service on my Model 3. I would be very scared 🙂 It does make sense to service those brake pads every two years for those places where they salt the roads. Luckily they don't do that out here.
I have been looking into a few but since this bike is really small, it is hard to find one with enough ground clearance that can be safe. I will keep looking and make a video if I find one. Thanks for watching my video.
Please make sure the brake pads are not rubbing against the rotor disc. You can loosen the pads by using the methods identified in this video. If not, try to listen closely on where the noise is coming from. You might even have a bent brake rotor.
Hi Shiva, I purchased my Jetson Pro Bolt and it was everything you said it was. I am shopping for a back rack and wanted to know if you had any suggestions. A metal rack to put light groceries that are not to heavy. Please advise.
Hello, thanks for watching my video and supporting my channel. Congrats on your new bike! Please check this video out, I do a demo of a rear rack. I have an amazon link to purchase this rack in the description of that video. This rack is easy to install and does a great job: ua-cam.com/video/Vn86coMBN2c/v-deo.html
Can you help me out with an issue I am having and losing power and have a flashing headlight when turn handle bars. Which wire could be causing this. I read it is the power button wires red and black, also power lights are blinking when this happens, maybe I should reroute the wires outside on frame. Once I solve the problem. Have had it year and a half.
@@ShivaSapkota thank you ! Do you mind telling me what the controller upgrade is ? Like the link so I can go ahead and purchase ? And I’ll go and do it along with you ?
@@mahdihamade Let me first get mine to work before I can recommend it. I wouldn't want you to waste resources if I couldn't get mine to work. So, give me some time and I will put out a video with all the details. Thank you!
my new Jetson's front left brake pad is rubbing against the brake rotor, looks like the rotor is bent towards the left and the adjuster on the right adjusts the distance of the left and right brake pads at the same time so I bought a tool to fix the bent rotor
Hi Michael, thanks for watching my video. The outside tread is rubber but I think they use nylon inside. It is hard to tell. I will be taking my tires out to show everyone how to replace the tube/tires in the future and will take a closer look at it.
Hello sir, I have a problem with my Jetson brakes and I'm not sure what it is: When I press the brake lever it starts to brake then goes click and the brakes are gone completely. The hand lever doesn't move ... just the brakes themselves go from working to complete fail. Do you have any idea what is wrong with the brakes? Thanks!
Replaced the entire rear caliper for $18cdn with a TOOPRE branded universal from Amazon was easy also the set for both front and rear and can be purchased for $30cdn wish I'd done that instead as it uses the square pads instead of the BB5's and appears to be of slightly better quality .
I am having problem with my jetson bike. I tighten the rear brake and after there is no throttle and battery shows full. Front light keep flashing. Any solution?
Shiva, Your videos have been amazing and assured me with much of my maintenance for my Jetson Bolt Bolt Pro. You wouldn’t happen to know the bolt type for the brakes that hold it to the frame. I misplaced one
Hi Thomas, thanks for watching my videos. I am sorry to hear about the missing bolt. If you still have the other one intact, perhaps you can take that one to a hardware store/bike shop and find a matching one? Unfortunately, I do not know the exact dimension and type of those bolts.
Hey shiva adding 2nd battery completed ty toggle switch parts purchased but before i do that i have a brake issue the the brake pad is loose some how n my island key isnt helping do u have any tips or advice i cant stop at high speed😭
Shiva, will you ever get a small solar panel? The reason I say this is because while one of the battery dies while riding and you use the external battery. You can easily be charging your battery that has died on you. Is my idea crazy? Or is it something that possibly be done? -- love your videos by the way I find them extremely helpful.
If it starts making noise or if you brakes are really loose. You can tighten the pad distance using the method I show in my video and if the pads are not catching the rotor disc, that would indicate you need new pads. Thanks.
Shiva, can the handle bars be changed, the throttle is the hole handle bar grip. This is different from the other bikes. Thanks for the helpful videos.
Hi James, unfortunately that will require getting a thumb throttle. You can disconnect the power to your existing throttle and get a different one that can operate using a thumb or a switch. Thanks for watching my videos and supporting my channel.
Hello, I am currently testing out one from Amazon. I hope to put out a video in the near future with a detailed installation guide and review. You can check this one out: amzn.to/2XloATh. The size is 14x2.125.
Hi Shiva, the handlebar twist throttle has led to accidental launches with inexperienced riders in my family. Would it be possible to install a switch to disable the twist throttle? Something like a bypass on a particular wire to the control unit.
I have actually been getting this question a lot lately. So, I am currently in a process of taking apart all wirings on this bike so I will be able to answer your question soon. I think you can just run a new wire from the controller and do a separate thumb throttle and disconnect the power to your main throttle. Again, give me a little bit of time and I will be back with a video possibly with wiring diagram for this bike and ideas on how to add a secondary switch to the throttle. Thanks for watching my video.
Hello, I just posted a video on how to add a thumb throttle for added security. Please check that video out. This method will disable your twist throttle.
Thank you so much for your Jetson videos! Your warm delivery and information packed videos are great! I just got this bike recently and there is a click, click coming from the back.l also I noticed the indicator/cruise control gets warm. Are these normal ? Or should I be concerned? Remember you are awesome! Nanaste
Hello, thank you for your kind words and support. I really appreciate it. The click noise could be caused by many things. If it was a "humm" noise, then it would be normal. The click could mean there is a loose part in your motor or the chain is loose. It is normal for the battery indicator to get a little warm as it is getting power from the battery but it shouldn't really be noticeable. Do you have an ability to return and get a new one? If not, I would recommend getting in touch with Jetson. If you need to get in touch with Jetson, first pinpoint where the click is coming from. Put the bike on its stand and rotate the wheel to listen. Sorry you are having issues, hope this all gets resolved soon. Namaste!
@@ShivaSapkota I bought two bikes both have click noise coming from rear wheel. I also experience similar problems on both bikes including front wheel not freely rotating on both bikes. I'm going to try the brake adjustment on the video much appreciated. In addition, on both bikes I have experienced rear tire being substantially under-inflated from the tire spec.. It seems that these bikes are being put together too quickly and attention and lack of QA process is occurring.
i'm looking for brake pads for a jetson haze. Any help on a part number would be huge. I bought the pads from this video and they were wrong for a jetson haze.
Hellp Shiva I have been runing into lots of weird noises from my Jetson bolt and I was just wondering if you have run into any problems and if you bike makes some funny noises too thank you!!!
Hi Kaden, yes the bike does make some "humming" noise from the rear wheel. This is coming from the motor, if that is what you meant. Listen to it closely and if it is coming from the brakes, try to adjust them by turning the adjuster as I showed in my video. Finally, make sure the chain is not touching anything, sometime that could be making the noise as well. Hope this helps, thanks for watching my video.
I just bought this scooter from someone. But the breaks don't work at all and it's kinda shaky where it folds I tried to tightn it as much as possible but ita still kinda shaky.. can u help me with these issues please
Hi again buddy. I've just swapped out my jetson bolt 6ah battery for a 12.8ah thanks to your videos. I was getting about 7 miles on the 6ah one which made me think it was faulty as most people get much more. I've just tested it and got 12 miles with the new battery. But it was windy and I was on roads and slight hills. Also I'm about 12 stone. I was still going and the bolt had just dropped to one bar of power . My bolt is the one without the pedals. My question is does it use more battery at 19 mph setting than the 15 mph setting ? Mine is the old one you can speed up with the app. I'm after trying to get 20 miles without adding 2 batteries that's all. Thanks in advance. Keep your videos coming you are a number one star man
Hi my friend, hope you are doing well. 7 miles seem very low on the Jetson Battery, was it always like that since the beginning? To answer your question, yes you will get more range by going 15mph compared to 19mph. Higher the speed, lower range you will get. This is because the bike needs more power to function with higher speeds, more energy is lost in heat and the bike is working harder to propel you faster against the winds. However, decreasing 4 mph might only get you an extra mile or two...what if you keep the extra jetson battery and do dual batteries? That should get you 20 miles.
@@ShivaSapkota Thanks for fast reply buddy. I bought the jetson second hand and it looks brand new but they haven't used it for a year so that's why I thought the battery may be no good. But judging by today the battery at 7 miles is ok as the double 12.8 ah Looks like it will only do 14 . I'll test properly at weekend When wind drops. It was struggling against wind. I nearly stopped. It still had 2 bars when I stopped running it. It's still way better than it wap with new battery. I don't want to add 2 batteries really. I've also bought a 4 amp charger to speed up charging. Just testing that now. Thanks for your help. I would be interested in knowing what range difference is at set at 19 mph compared with set at 15 mph though he you get chance some time. 😁
@@skycamvideo I will test that once I figure out my controller upgrade to make my Bolt Pro go 19mph 😊 I bet you will get much higher range if you ride on a less windy day. Wind really affects the performance of your bike. Did you see my response on your question about the cruise control? The cruise control wires are yellow and white on the throttle harness. I am going to be posting a video this afternoon showing how to add a thumb throttle and I have close-up view of the throttle harness. Also, you gotta teach me how to fly those drones 😁 I have got the original Mavic Pro but haven't really flown much.
@@ShivaSapkota wow brilliant. I still fly my old Mavic pro. Best ever drone. Nice to see you checked out my channel. Gtd been flying for about 8 years now. The reason I want to get the 20 miles is to take my drones up into the hills. Etc. I used to ride a powered skateboard but nearly died when I came off at 30mph and hit a lamp post so now I'm riding a much safer transport. Nothing to flying the Mavic pro. Nice drone. I've been out to sea 3 miles with mine to record a ship. Scary but worth it. Anyway can't wait for your next video buddy.
@@skycamvideo I subscribed to your channel bro, good stuff. Do you have a 107 license or do you just fly recreational? I took my drone back home to Nepal a few years ago and other than airport securities giving me trouble, it was fun to fly around the mountains over there.
Dude thank you thank you thank you so much I just got my e bike and had a blow out 😂 had to change the brake pads took me like 2 days the brakes keep rubbing up against the road mettel plate but now it's fix thanks again buddy
When i pull breaks sometimes it pings, and the breaks go completly void. I have to reset the breaks. After a short while they go completly void again so yet again they have to br reset......kind regards from the U.K❤

thanks for video, in my case wire is slipping, do you have any video for that? back break is working but making sound. front wheel break is slipping, i tried to tighten but it doesn't hold the grip, do i need to change wire?
I have an issue where the front brake is constantly rubbing, but not from the adjustable side. It is rubbing on the pad that is attached to the main brake assembly. Is there a way to adjust that side pad too? I think this may have happened after my daughter hit a curb that was too high so possibly the wheel got shifted or something too. I can’t quite figure out what the issue is but the disc is constantly rubbing on the pad and the wheel does not spin freely. Any tips to check? Thanks
Hello, it could be a few things. My guess would be that the disc bent slightly causing it to rub on the pads. You can certainly remove the brake assembly and check if the disc is bent and you can try to make it straight. If the disc is bent, you can also purchase a new one. However, I would have a bike shop take a look at it since it could be dangerous to ride when the wheel doesn't rotate freely.
Your videos are really helpful, Thanks! My front wheel is rubbing and I've tried adjusting that wide bolt you show in this video, however, the pad that is rubbing against the disc is the other one, the one closer to the black mount. As soon as I mount the black thing (caliper?) to the frame, the pad already touches the disc. Any idea how to adjust that? I've tried losening the brake cables but the pad still touches the disc even without any pression to the cable. Thank you
Can U show how to install a suspension on the seat pole THX
helpful videos! You have inspired me to do more maintenance on my bike! would this work with the previous jetson bolt model? My brakes just don't work anymore
Nice video. But I purchased the bb5 pads and they don't fit. Like many others they say they don't fit. And you have to grind to make fit. And I can't find anything from jetson to order the proper pads. Bad business. Everything is from online people. That claim they fit the jetson pro. But don't. Very up setting. Do you have any recommendations to get right pads. Thank you.
Thank you so much for all of the awesome info and tutorials on your channel. I have really enjoyed them and have done some of them. Thanks again!
Thank you very much for your support.
That was a great episode, Shiva! I never thought about brake pads for all of these vehicles coming with disc brakes. I guess that you have to be careful with the hydraulic disc brakes on more expensive models?
I thought that this video was going to be about doing your own brake service on a Tesla Model 3. When you live where they salt the roads, every two years the pads should be removed and the back of the pads need a lubricant and you have to check for rust, because the pads are rarely used and rarely get hot, there can be a lot of rust.
The second part of your video was going to be about your electric bike.
Hi Mitchell, hope you are doing well. Thank you very much for watching my video and supporting my channel. My apologies if my title was confusing. Yes, this bike doesn't have hydraulic disc brakes so the repairs are easier.
I don't think I will attempt brake service on my Model 3. I would be very scared 🙂 It does make sense to service those brake pads every two years for those places where they salt the roads. Luckily they don't do that out here.
could you put bike cargo trailer on this bike ? thanks man
I have been looking into a few but since this bike is really small, it is hard to find one with enough ground clearance that can be safe. I will keep looking and make a video if I find one. Thanks for watching my video.
My Jetson bolt pro’s front wheel makes very loud noise, not only when riding but also when I spin the wheel. How can I fix it? Thank you.
Please make sure the brake pads are not rubbing against the rotor disc. You can loosen the pads by using the methods identified in this video. If not, try to listen closely on where the noise is coming from. You might even have a bent brake rotor.
Hi Shiva, I purchased my Jetson Pro Bolt and it was everything you said it was. I am shopping for a back rack and wanted to know if you had any suggestions. A metal rack to put light groceries that are not to heavy. Please advise.
Hello, thanks for watching my video and supporting my channel. Congrats on your new bike! Please check this video out, I do a demo of a rear rack. I have an amazon link to purchase this rack in the description of that video. This rack is easy to install and does a great job: ua-cam.com/video/Vn86coMBN2c/v-deo.html
Can you help me out with an issue I am having and losing power and have a flashing headlight when turn handle bars. Which wire could be causing this. I read it is the power button wires red and black, also power lights are blinking when this happens, maybe I should reroute the wires outside on frame. Once I solve the problem. Have had it year and a half.
Great video Shiva! Thanks for explaining in such great detail. Very informative!
Thank you very much 🙏
For the rear wheel is it supposed to spin freely?
You are so great to share your videos! I am in Texas
Hola soy de Puerto Rico. Donde puedo comprar los brake pad de la jetson bike?
Gracias
Hey I don't have the bolt pro are the pads different from just the bolt I've tried to get some and can't get a straight answer
Thanks Shiva.
Thanks for watching my video and supporting my channel. Much appreciated.
Hey ! Big big fan ! Can you make a video explaining on how to make it faster and what would be needed ??
Hi Mahdi, thanks for your support! I am working on a controller upgrade, stay tuned for that video. Hopefully, it will make the bike faster.
@@ShivaSapkota thank you ! Do you mind telling me what the controller upgrade is ? Like the link so I can go ahead and purchase ? And I’ll go and do it along with you ?
@@mahdihamade Let me first get mine to work before I can recommend it. I wouldn't want you to waste resources if I couldn't get mine to work. So, give me some time and I will put out a video with all the details. Thank you!
Great video man and good tips too, is this the same process for the Jetson Warren Ebike to replace brakes?
Can foot brakes be added in addition with hand brakes?
You make all this so easy. I thank you so much
Is the non bolt pro have the same brake pads
Yes, that bike has the same pads. Thanks for watching my video.
Hi Shiva,
Thank you very much for your videos are very informative and helpful.
my new Jetson's front left brake pad is rubbing against the brake rotor, looks like the rotor is bent towards the left and the adjuster on the right adjusts the distance of the left and right brake pads at the same time so I bought a tool to fix the bent rotor
Would you mind putting a link for the tool you purchased? Thank you!

Hello, Thank you for another informative and helpful video. My question is do you know if the tires are made of rubber or are they nylon material?
Hi Michael, thanks for watching my video. The outside tread is rubber but I think they use nylon inside. It is hard to tell. I will be taking my tires out to show everyone how to replace the tube/tires in the future and will take a closer look at it.
Hello sir, I have a problem with my Jetson brakes and I'm not sure what it is: When I press the brake lever it starts to brake then goes click and the brakes are gone completely. The hand lever doesn't move ... just the brakes themselves go from working to complete fail. Do you have any idea what is wrong with the brakes? Thanks!
Hi there is that the same pad for the dyu d3f BB5 thanks
thank you so much！ this video save me hundreds of bucks!
Replaced the entire rear caliper for $18cdn with a TOOPRE branded universal from Amazon was easy also the set for both front and rear and can be purchased for $30cdn wish I'd done that instead as it uses the square pads instead of the BB5's and appears to be of slightly better quality .
I am having problem with my jetson bike. I tighten the rear brake and after there is no throttle and battery shows full. Front light keep flashing. Any solution?
Shiva, Your videos have been amazing and assured me with much of my maintenance for my Jetson Bolt Bolt Pro. You wouldn’t happen to know the bolt type for the brakes that hold it to the frame. I misplaced one
Hi Thomas, thanks for watching my videos. I am sorry to hear about the missing bolt. If you still have the other one intact, perhaps you can take that one to a hardware store/bike shop and find a matching one? Unfortunately, I do not know the exact dimension and type of those bolts.
Hey shiva adding 2nd battery completed ty toggle switch parts purchased but before i do that i have a brake issue the the brake pad is loose some how n my island key isnt helping do u have any tips or advice i cant stop at high speed😭
Shiva, will you ever get a small solar panel? The reason I say this is because while one of the battery dies while riding and you use the external battery. You can easily be charging your battery that has died on you. Is my idea crazy? Or is it something that possibly be done? -- love your videos by the way I find them extremely helpful.
How do you know when to replace the pads?
If it starts making noise or if you brakes are really loose. You can tighten the pad distance using the method I show in my video and if the pads are not catching the rotor disc, that would indicate you need new pads. Thanks.
Thank You So Much posting this Great Video.
Thank you for watching and support my channel.
I have just bought a Bolt Pro refurbished and the brakes are too noisy. Is that normal?
Where are you from India or Nepal ?
From Nepal. Thanks!
Good video can you do a video on how to replace a brake cable on a Jetson PRO with pegs only 1 brake(back), with 2 cable's on handle left side.
Shiva, can the handle bars be changed, the throttle is the hole handle bar grip. This is different from the other bikes. Thanks for the helpful videos.
Hi James, unfortunately that will require getting a thumb throttle. You can disconnect the power to your existing throttle and get a different one that can operate using a thumb or a switch. Thanks for watching my videos and supporting my channel.
@@ShivaSapkota Thanks for the info 👍
Hi James, I just posted a video on adding a thumb throttle. This will disable the twist throttle. Please check that video out.
hi boos, could you please help me up to find caliper pads the correct one for dyu electric bike disc brake pads please and thanks
Hi shiva, you don’t know we’re I. Can’t find. Tire and inner tube for my pro bolt I can’t find place to order I live in Canada tnx
Hello, I am currently testing out one from Amazon. I hope to put out a video in the near future with a detailed installation guide and review. You can check this one out: amzn.to/2XloATh. The size is 14x2.125.
Tnx soooo much always helping
So it's normal to scrape a little?
Hey bro, do you know where to get the cable anchor bolt for the brakes?I messed up mine thats due to over tightening.
Hi Shiva, the handlebar twist throttle has led to accidental launches with inexperienced riders in my family. Would it be possible to install a switch to disable the twist throttle? Something like a bypass on a particular wire to the control unit.
I have actually been getting this question a lot lately. So, I am currently in a process of taking apart all wirings on this bike so I will be able to answer your question soon. I think you can just run a new wire from the controller and do a separate thumb throttle and disconnect the power to your main throttle. Again, give me a little bit of time and I will be back with a video possibly with wiring diagram for this bike and ideas on how to add a secondary switch to the throttle. Thanks for watching my video.
Hello, I just posted a video on how to add a thumb throttle for added security. Please check that video out. This method will disable your twist throttle.
Do the jetson pro brake Caliper work on the front brake and rear brake on the ancheer 14" wheel 500 watts model ?
Can you explain to me why my power switch won’t turn on when I push on it. It feels locked couldn’t be. The battery was totally drained.
Thank you so much for your Jetson videos! Your warm delivery and information packed videos are great! I just got this bike recently and there is a click, click coming from the back.l also I noticed the indicator/cruise control gets warm. Are these normal ? Or should I be concerned? Remember you are awesome! Nanaste
Hello, thank you for your kind words and support. I really appreciate it. The click noise could be caused by many things. If it was a "humm" noise, then it would be normal. The click could mean there is a loose part in your motor or the chain is loose. It is normal for the battery indicator to get a little warm as it is getting power from the battery but it shouldn't really be noticeable. Do you have an ability to return and get a new one? If not, I would recommend getting in touch with Jetson. If you need to get in touch with Jetson, first pinpoint where the click is coming from. Put the bike on its stand and rotate the wheel to listen. Sorry you are having issues, hope this all gets resolved soon. Namaste!
@@ShivaSapkota I bought two bikes both have click noise coming from rear wheel. I also experience similar problems on both bikes including front wheel not freely rotating on both bikes. I'm going to try the brake adjustment on the video much appreciated. In addition, on both bikes I have experienced rear tire being substantially under-inflated from the tire spec.. It seems that these bikes are being put together too quickly and attention and lack of QA process is occurring.
i'm looking for brake pads for a jetson haze. Any help on a part number would be huge. I bought the pads from this video and they were wrong for a jetson haze.
Random but what is the dropout measurement like length of rear axle
Keep up with the great content!!
Are those aftermarket tires?? What are the dimensions
What’s the difference between organic pads and metal pads?
Never mind I see you explained further in the video thanks!! Keep up the amazing content bro.
Thank you very much bro! I really appreciate the support.
Hellp Shiva I have been runing into lots of weird noises from my Jetson bolt and I was just wondering if you have run into any problems and if you bike makes some funny noises too thank you!!!
Hi Kaden, yes the bike does make some "humming" noise from the rear wheel. This is coming from the motor, if that is what you meant. Listen to it closely and if it is coming from the brakes, try to adjust them by turning the adjuster as I showed in my video. Finally, make sure the chain is not touching anything, sometime that could be making the noise as well. Hope this helps, thanks for watching my video.
@@ShivaSapkota oh wow yeah thanks ill have to try it
Are the brakes the same as the bolt? No pedals
Hey shiva! How does this bike handle on gravels road?
Hi Xou, it does well for a short distance. This bike is not really made for gravel roads, I wouldn't recommend it. Thanks for watching my video.
I just bought this scooter from someone. But the breaks don't work at all and it's kinda shaky where it folds I tried to tightn it as much as possible but ita still kinda shaky.. can u help me with these issues please
Very good thank you...your time and care is appreciated
Hi again buddy. I've just swapped out my jetson bolt 6ah battery for a 12.8ah thanks to your videos. I was getting about 7 miles on the 6ah one which made me think it was faulty as most people get much more. I've just tested it and got 12 miles with the new battery. But it was windy and I was on roads and slight hills. Also I'm about 12 stone. I was still going and the bolt had just dropped to one bar of power . My bolt is the one without the pedals. My question is does it use more battery at 19 mph setting than the 15 mph setting ? Mine is the old one you can speed up with the app. I'm after trying to get 20 miles without adding 2 batteries that's all. Thanks in advance. Keep your videos coming you are a number one star man
Hi my friend, hope you are doing well. 7 miles seem very low on the Jetson Battery, was it always like that since the beginning? To answer your question, yes you will get more range by going 15mph compared to 19mph. Higher the speed, lower range you will get. This is because the bike needs more power to function with higher speeds, more energy is lost in heat and the bike is working harder to propel you faster against the winds. However, decreasing 4 mph might only get you an extra mile or two...what if you keep the extra jetson battery and do dual batteries? That should get you 20 miles.
@@ShivaSapkota Thanks for fast reply buddy. I bought the jetson second hand and it looks brand new but they haven't used it for a year so that's why I thought the battery may be no good. But judging by today the battery at 7 miles is ok as the double 12.8 ah Looks like it will only do 14 . I'll test properly at weekend When wind drops. It was struggling against wind. I nearly stopped. It still had 2 bars when I stopped running it. It's still way better than it wap with new battery. I don't want to add 2 batteries really. I've also bought a 4 amp charger to speed up charging. Just testing that now. Thanks for your help. I would be interested in knowing what range difference is at set at 19 mph compared with set at 15 mph though he you get chance some time. 😁
@@skycamvideo I will test that once I figure out my controller upgrade to make my Bolt Pro go 19mph 😊 I bet you will get much higher range if you ride on a less windy day. Wind really affects the performance of your bike.
Did you see my response on your question about the cruise control? The cruise control wires are yellow and white on the throttle harness. I am going to be posting a video this afternoon showing how to add a thumb throttle and I have close-up view of the throttle harness. Also, you gotta teach me how to fly those drones 😁 I have got the original Mavic Pro but haven't really flown much.
@@ShivaSapkota wow brilliant. I still fly my old Mavic pro. Best ever drone. Nice to see you checked out my channel. Gtd been flying for about 8 years now. The reason I want to get the 20 miles is to take my drones up into the hills. Etc. I used to ride a powered skateboard but nearly died when I came off at 30mph and hit a lamp post so now I'm riding a much safer transport. Nothing to flying the Mavic pro. Nice drone. I've been out to sea 3 miles with mine to record a ship. Scary but worth it. Anyway can't wait for your next video buddy.
@@skycamvideo I subscribed to your channel bro, good stuff. Do you have a 107 license or do you just fly recreational? I took my drone back home to Nepal a few years ago and other than airport securities giving me trouble, it was fun to fly around the mountains over there.
Dude thank you thank you thank you so much I just got my e bike and had a blow out 😂 had to change the brake pads took me like 2 days the brakes keep rubbing up against the road mettel plate but now it's fix thanks again buddy
good job men keep up the good work...don't forget the tire and iner tube 👍...hello from Anaheim California close to Disneyland
Hi Frank, thank you for watching my video. Yes, I will be doing a tube and tire replacement video in the near future.
Thank you I’m going to try it
