I bought one of these E-Bikes. When installing front wheel make sure to take off disc pad holder shim before assembling. Save this when ever front wheel is removed to hold in disc.👍

@4:00. Those are two springs. One for each side of the Wheel
@Garga07 ай бұрын
That is right and their direction (of the spring) is also important. Plus if the wheel is not aligned it will make some sound in moving. By some hit and trial it can be set right. Battery: when I called them they told with assisted driving, the battery distance is 36 miles (if I remember correctly.)

Just picked one up tonight. I'm in eastern NC so to get one from GOTRAX would have required paying shipping from TX. I found one locally at Kohl's oddly enough. It was 599.99 plus tax and no shipping. Too, I got 120.00 in Kohl's cash to shop at kohl's. I used my Apple Card and got cash back from that...score. If I put it together tomorrow I'll post an update here.

When I got mine I had to completely remove and adjust the front and rear brakes so I basically had to become a disk brake repair man while taking the bike out of the box... The front brake was completely bound and the rear was not as bad I thought it was ok but when I rode it it wasn't it was constantly grinding so I had to take it all apart and learn to adjust that one as well... Luckily I worked on car electronics for 7 years so I had a good bit of mechanical knowledge to help me out lol

I am having an issue now I bought it in August 2021 and tried to assemble I installed per instructions and charged the battery... I did not ride it because I had to diagnose and solve the breaking issues I live in Boston Massachusetts so over time winter became an issue, (also I had not got on a bike in 20 years so anxiety was an issue lol) anyway I did not ride it untill a month ago when it started to get warmer I have only had it out a hand full of times and I'm having a blast but now I charged it last August and it essentially sat all winter just with some tinkering and cosmetic add-ons, now the battery will not charge all the way up... I don't know if it's the battery gauge on the battery itself? The green lights don't all light green but the gauge on the handle bars show 4 full power LEDs... I'm going to try to contact gotrax but now that it's out of the six month warranty they won't fix anything but I just want my freakin battery to charge all the way if anyone has any ideas please comment back thanks!

Please do some reviews on bike trainers for indoor bike exercise using the real bicycle a person already owns. Try the magnetic resistance trainers and the oil or fluid resistance kinetic trainers and the bike roller trainers that have the three wide rollers that you ride on.
@Mosely20073 жыл бұрын
I've used trainers since 80s indoors. Rollers, turbos ,magnetics all of them. Settled on a Wahoo smart trainer. It can I pick my outdoor routes and it works with popular apps like Zwift. Currently riding the Wahoo and Zwift. Makes indoors a real virtual experience. Best money spent on a bike in many decades. I ride every day. Indoors from Dec to March. Finally have a great setup . Mine uses any of my bikes .
