Tinkering Turtle - Спорт
Your video is by far the best assembly tutorial I've have seen and learned so much. Thank you for taking the time to do this in depth assembly for us that have no clue what we are doing. You're a God send.
You're very welcome!
Enjoy your Christmas Holiday!
Thank you! You too! @@TinkeringTurtle
Thanks for the setup instructions. A lot of reviewers skip over those.
My pleasure!
I just got this bike today and I’m installing it looked at many videos. I wanna let everybody know that this guy is the best at showing you how to put this bike together step-by-step and very clearly. Thank you sir for your help happy writing.👊😎🇺🇸
I’m glad I could help!
Your assembly video is much more thorough than the Magicycle video. Thank you!
Your very welcome, I am glad you liked it!
Great job of explaining how to assemble the bike. Very straightforward. Thanks for all the tips!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you I just unboxed my magic cycle. Love ❤️ your tutorial
My pleasure, enjoy your new bike!
I have great admonishment for the work you do and I rely on your videos to help me with my new Ebike/ Evehicle shop!
You’re the best on Social Media! I love how you reason things out and your patience with presentations make it easier for others to deal with e everything you review! 🎉👍
Wow, thanks!
Just ordered a couple ocelot pros. Have a cruiser but with bad hips it's hard to swing a leg over. You helped me assemble the cruiser and will be helping with the ocelot. 😉 thanks for your videos.
Glad I could help
Thank you for the info about the gears
Your welcome!
Great Job again! Thank you.
My pleasure!
Fantastic Video, Thank you!
You are welcome!
Thanks for the great video. Your video will definitely help me when I get my ebike. I just ordered the Ocelot Pro yesterday. Hope to get it soon.
Hope you enjoy it!
Lots of good info. I don't see very many assembly videos.
I’m glad you liked it!
Excellent content, keep on keeping on my or our Tinkerer.
Thanks, will do!
Thanks so much with your great video. The only thing I didn't do before trying it was make sure the tires were fully inflated. They are a little low but I figured that was OK since there is snow on the ground, kind of like riding on sand 🤷♀️
Your welcome.
Great information. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
@@TinkeringTurtle VERY helpful!
I like that Army color. Thinking of painting my Kepler that color and making it look like an Army bike.
Nice!
Check out these grips I bought for it, they match pretty good!

Tinkering~ Good day~enjoeyd~ that is splendid channel~ farewell-😮
Thank you sir!
Great instructional video. I have 2 Ocelot Pros on order and this video will really help! Little concerned with the 2 issues you found. Hopefully Magicycle has good support and can resolve.
I hope it helps with your bikes!
Support has been great. They responded to my emails within 24hrs. They have already sent a new gear shift out from their CA warehouse, I hope to get it next week. As far as the chain rubbing on the fender, they offered to let me take it to a bike shop to have it fixed and they would pay for it. But I think it will be easier just to notch the fender for clearance. So I may just do that. I’m still deciding on it.
@@TinkeringTurtle Used your video to assemble my 2 new Ocelot Pros today. Man, you sure made it easy with your step by step instructions! Thank you!!!
That’s awesome. I hope you enjoy your new bikes!
Very good video thankyou.very informative .
Your welcome. I am glad it was helpful!
@@TinkeringTurtle very very good.
Nice work, and great Pro-Tips for assembly. Yes, grips and an adjustable stem on the list for you. I feel there is plenty of room for a SunTour suspension post also! I look forward to the contrast vs 26 inch Cruiser bikes that you own. Paricularly handling and manuvering on the bike paths. If derailier was compressed in box, perhaps tweeked the cable pressure on the SIS shifter head and moved the needle? You mentioned guard was bent. That might indicates HEAVY and sustained force on the derailier OR a sudden jolt from droppping the bike/box? Hope support is there for you. Has anyone done a 52T conversion on the Ocelot? Seems 20 inch tires would also Ghost pedal given same 14-28 freewheel gears. Cruiser has 42T-26 tires and Ocelot has 48T-20 tires......?? Maybe 56T is the ultimate ring for Ocelot.
I will definitely transfer my Suntour to the bike, when I ride it, next spring. Grips and adjustable stem are more than likely.
The gear shift was damaged, support has responded and shipped a new one already. The chain against the fender in first gear may be a tougher fix. I can either shift the cassette or crank outwards or trim the fender. I will have to consider that and see what is reasonable. Magicycle has offered to let me take it to a local shop and they would pay for the fix. But I want to consider my options here first.
I have to say they have been exceptionally responsive!
I will have to see how the ghost pedaling is and go from there.
Thanks for the comment!
Used your video to assemble this is the one to watch to assemble. I have had the Ocelot pro for about a week. I have the following issue.
I have been riding my Ocelot Pro for about a week now. The wheel is set at 22" Factory setting. I have ridden according to the bike screen 16.3 miles. I was concerned as I have used 50% of the battery. Then I checked my iPhone Gps Tracking my rides and it says I have gone 32.35 miles. The Screen said I have averages 5.4 MPH. The iPhone says 8.6 MPH. I ride as PAS 1 or 2 seldom use throttle. I am trying to rebuild strength after Cervical Spine fusion on my neck and have complete rehab. Anyone know why the screen doesn't give me accurate Mileage or MPH? Magicycle chat says this normal to use GPS as mileage but screen as MPH. Math says that is wrong. I went 8.2 miles in 55 minutes so the MPH different than the screen. Temperature here is 17 overnite, 36 afternoons. Any ideas???
Thanks for your comment. Unfortunately I haven’t spent enough time with the bike to figure out the intricacies of all that. And with the early snow this year it will be spring before I get a chance to go thru all of it.
I will say that if you measure from the ground to the top of the tire it is closer to 24”. Also if you take a ride and then turn off the bike when you get home, the next day the battery tends to be fuller than it said during the ride. One more thing as you charge and discharge the battery the internal cells will balance giving you better performance. Maybe give it a half a dozen charge cycles before testing it further.
Hope this helps!
@@TinkeringTurtle reset factory setting and it took care of it. Thanks
Hi Sir, new to your channel awsome review thank you 👍👍
Your welcome, it’s my pleasure!
Did you ever find a fix for the chain rubbing the fender? I was thinking maybe a spacer inserted in the chainring might help, but I'm not sure how much play there is in the wheel hub to do that.
I ended up loosening the front attachment for the fender and slightly bending it. That biased the fender away from the chain. I think you are right you may be able to shift the chainring too.
@@TinkeringTurtle Do you think is this a design flaw (common with the Ocelot) or a problem just with your particular bike?
@Myron West I think it’s normal for the chain to run close to the tire/fender on fat tire bikes. In this case the fender attachment was biased to the right and had an interference with the fender in first gear. Once the fender was biased to the left the interference was alleviated.
@@TinkeringTurtle Thank you Tim. I value your expertise and enjoy learning through your videos. Please keep up the great work!
I’m going to reiterate what the last poster said. Your explanation when putting this thing together is awesome. I never indexed the gears yet and after watching your video, it took me literally, two minutes to properly index them. I do have a question about brake travel. The rear brake travel seems like it is further than the front brake travel . The front brake stops the wheel, almost as soon as I touch it, whereas I have to press on the rear brake much more is this normal? I live in the Northeast, so unfortunately, I can’t take it out for a ride just yet.
Thank you for your kind comment. I am glad the video was helpful.
As far as the lever throw on your hydraulic brakes… I haven’t done a video on this. But you should be able to adjust how far the lever pulls back before the brakes engage. I believe this video shows that process generically. Let me know if it works for you!

Is there enough play in the various cables to swap the stem clamp out for an adjustable one? I’m a taller guy and would likely want to swing those bars up a couple inches.
Yes, on my Ocelot I added a riser and an adjustable stem. I had to lower the handle bars slightly by shifting some spacers, but I did raise it up.
I showed the upgrade/adjustment for the stem and riser on the Ocelot in this video:
ua-cam.com/video/5BU8zVAfzIc/v-deo.html
Yea, I saw that video after. Some of those cables really seem to be stretched to about their limit. I’m wondering if just a taller adjustable clamp wouldn’t be better than the stem and clamp.
I tend to like the stem and riser combo because of the adjustability of the combined washers. It allows me to move the stem up and down for the cable length. You can also, for a little extra cost and time, lengthen the cables and hydraulic brake lines.
Have you noticed your left heal hitting the kickstand while riding? Just got it put together and took a little test drive. It's 32 degrees and snow on the road so didn't go far but my heal hit the kickstand while peddling a couple times.
Being a larger guy that tends to happen with me on most of my fat tire bikes. I don’t recall that happening anymore or less than the others.
@@TinkeringTurtle when looking at the ocelot next to the cruiser the cruiser kick stand is farther back. Probably because the difference in tire sizes. That's my guess.
Good job Turtle.I guess you'll be adding a riser?
Your big toe says you have a 🐴
I haven’t ridden it yet, but I think it is a safe bet I will add an adjustable stem and/or a riser. They say the bike accommodates a rider up to 6’ 2”, and I am 6’ 3”.
I also prefer thumb throttles and full size lock-on grips. Maybe I will do them all at once.
Got my ocelot pro yesterday. Going to start putting it together. The other one is supposed to be delivered today. Why make two trips? I'm not really sure. 🤷♀️
Right off the bat the stand to hold the forks is broken
I think that the shippers (fedex and ups) tend to split up shipments so they don’t overwhelm the drivers with really heavy loads. I think they split it up to spread out the weight day to day.
Sorry to hear about the stand, are the forks damaged?
@@TinkeringTurtle the forks are not damaged. Set them on a piece of Styrofoam while putting it together.
Sir my ocolet pro just came in its all together BUT WHATS THE TRICK TO TURN THE BIKE ON I CANT SEEM TO FIGURE IT OUT???
As long as the battery is charged and installed, you simply click and hold the power button for a couple seconds. The screen should light up.
@@TinkeringTurtle ok now how do you turn on the headlight on the ocolet pro magicycle whats the trick.???
@123windyron click and hold the “+” button for a couple seconds. Repeat to turn it off.
@123windyron Just an fyi, they talk about this stuff on page 10 of the manual. Let me know if you have any other questions and I will do my best to help!
@@TinkeringTurtle hey great now I have a headlight whow thankyou
Now if I can figure out all the other settings ill be in good shape.could you sometime do a vid on the settimg screen for a basic ride going up hills?lots of them around here..
I ordered mines like October 7 th and still haven’t got it yet, i was told by the end of this month, now the early November. Magicycle having issues with custom clearance 🤦♂️
I hope you get it soon!
@@TinkeringTurtle thanks for your video very helpful 😊
