[@nathan22ds]

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!

[@ShivaSapkota]

Thank you very much for your kind words! I really appreciate all the support.

[@ICYUNVM3]

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!

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!

Thank you for watching and support my channel.

[@pcapcapca]

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

[@gimpman1357]

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.

[@ShivaSapkota]

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.

[@ShivaSapkota]

Thanks for watching my video and supporting my channel. Much appreciated.

[@seann7279]

Thanks boss!

[@rociomsamayoamazariegos1604]

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.

[@ShivaSapkota]

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.

[@cmerkyurky]

I have a bolt pro and may need to do this

[@ShivaSapkota]

Thank you for watching my video. Yes, overtime this will be necessary.

[@rahularora9868]

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.

[@jonathanrios4475]

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!

[@TheGracieVshow]

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!

[@ShivaSapkota]

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.

[@ejplzysgt7]

Same it annoying

[@PREPEDVL12]

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

[@ShivaSapkota]

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.

[@mattg2949]

Hi there is that the same pad for the dyu d3f BB5 thanks

[@riasomers642]

How about the rear, w/all the stuff around it? Your demo was so much more detailed than others I've watched.

[@juncantorna9766]

Hey bro, do you know where to get the cable anchor bolt for the brakes?I messed up mine thats due to over tightening.

[@medusajrjr]

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.

[@martymason2318]

Thankyou!

[@mitchellbarnow1709]

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.

[@ShivaSapkota]

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.

[@chrishemsworth5150]

Do the jetson pro brake Caliper work on the front brake and rear brake on the ancheer 14" wheel 500 watts model ?

[@thaifroggy69]

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?

[@ShivaSapkota]

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.

[@skycamvideo]

Hi again buddy. I have the jetson bolt without the pedals . Which disc pads do I need please

[@ShivaSapkota]

Hi my friend, looks like your bolt uses the exact same pads. So, those BB5 brake pads will work for your bike.

[@MV-df8jl]

For the rear wheel is it supposed to spin freely?

[@lindapreece9500]

How do you change the back tire if you get a flat?

[@squeky78]

Can foot brakes be added in addition with hand brakes?

[@michaelhays2158]

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.

[@johnhrichak3451]

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.

[@ulidiaz9157]

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.

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.

[@shanksworthy]

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.
