Hi just to let everyone know the standard stock rear shock on the m20 is 230mm anything shorter like this one is 190mm you will loos hight of the seat so bare this in mind when ordering one try and buy one that’s 230mm 👌🏻

[@baconbuttties]

I'm sure My original didn't measure 230mm

[@Ratsinthereticles]

Mine measured 230mm mate I bought the 190mm DNM I’m 6ft and my m20 turned into a child’s bike 😂 so measured the stock one and it’s 230mm Mate! Engwe used the cheapest passed to keep the cost down cheap suspension cheap breaks etc but all easily upgraded mate. Hope this helps your viewers have a great day mate 👌🏻

[@baconbuttties]

@@Ratsinthereticles I still have my original Engwe shock and I just measured it, 190mm is the measurement. Is your purchase recent as they might of changed sizes at some point

[@kaizenmobility]

As always great video. I had put my M20 up for sale but watching your videos I thought I'd give it another chance because it causes me severe back pain. I changed the seat padding and things are much better. I think it's also useless, as in some American videos, to raise the saddle with 3D printing to make pedaling smoother, by changing the padding of the saddle I also solved this problem by raising the center of gravity and I have much more cushioning in the rear. Advice received from various craftsmen who modify motorcycle saddles. I look forward to the new and next rear shock you install, because that's the next change I'd like to make. Can't you anticipate the name/model? 😀 Sometimes I have the thought of changing the front lights with a larger fixed one, but I don't know which one to buy and if it doesn't create problems for the control unit.

[@baconbuttties]

I was thinking of a single front light also. The wiring to the headlight is 48v will have to look for something suitable 👍

[@jonny.campbell]

Can I ask how you added more padding to the seat to increase the height?

[@howardridge1153]

If you want comfort get a coil over oil shock with rebound and compression adjustment😊

[@baconbuttties]

Yes I prefer coil shocks 👍

[@howardridge1153]

Btw what do you do with all the bikes you test! keep them or sell them on🙂

[@baconbuttties]

@@howardridge1153 I would like to keep them but have no room to store them all.

That 750wat motor semms quite mine is very noisy bought a bike of amazon I made a video on upgrade saddle so my legs are not going to high next job is the krank arms they come in all sizes so I'm redusing but one and half ins and the upgrade is 3ins so that's four inch less to rase my leg hopefully I putting hinge on back end to keep it tight later and see what the peddle is I'm upgrade this 750wat to 1000wat 52v 20amp battery I think controller 22amp it dhou reach 35mph

[@baconbuttties]

Yes motor is quiet on the emgwe M20

[@RideyRodney]

Have you set the collar just tight enough to remove the play from the spring? It's hard to tell if you have wound some preload to it.

[@baconbuttties]

I used the preload that it came with

[@RideyRodney]

@@baconbuttties wind it all the way out, just enough to remove the play in the spring. More preload means more force required to initially move the spring, so lots of preload means small bumps feel rough.

What i dislike about 20x4" fat tyre bikes is punctures (I ride 2 of them) getting that tyre off the rim is as hard as motorcycle wheels (also ride motorcycles) my other e-bikes have 26,27.5 and 29" wheels and i can fix a puncture on them in a matter of minutes, not so on the 20x4" wheels, so next time you are out in the back blocks have a plan in place when you get a puncture, great video cheers.

[@baconbuttties]

I do worry about punctures. My back up plan is to push the bike home 😃

[@shaun-juniorbishop2314]

Slime is your friend!!! My GF has had a super73 for over a year and the first week she got a puncture. I repaired it with a kit and filled each tyre with a full bottle of slime and she hasn't had any issues. Regularly rides over stoney ground and gravel and other sharp objects. She's even heard a puncture and within seconds the slime sealed it and she only lost like 2 psi

hi there im looking to change my brakes to hydraulics could you please tell me what adapter to get i have a engwe ep2 pro

[@shaun-juniorbishop2314]

@BACONBUTTTIES did you need to buy new hardware to install the shock? Only as I noticed you had your bolts attached to the stock one. If possible would you be able to tell me the thickness of the bolt that runs through the shock? I'm got 2 rockshox ready to pop on it but they both have eyelets of 15mm and wasn't sure if I needed to order any custom hardware to get it installed.

[@baconbuttties]

The hole where the bolts go through is 8mm, the bushings are 24mm wide

[@shaun-juniorbishop2314]

@@baconbuttties thank you so much. If I could be cheeky and ask one last question. What is the length of the pin that the bolt goes through? Is it the same length on each end? And when you say bushings do you mean the pin or like the bushings that go over it?

[@baconbuttties]

@@shaun-juniorbishop2314 click the link and they are bushings .

[@AsifAlexander]

Love your vids! What shock length did you end up going with? I’ve been trying to find the shock specs online with no luck. Would love to purchase an upgrade before the bike arrives.

[@baconbuttties]

The original is 190mm and I bought a 190mm replacement which wasn't much better. I have now ordered a 200mm dnm shock so will do a video in that soon. A few people have said they have fitted a 210mm dnm shock and has raised seat height slightly.

[@DebbyWalker-wx9on]

Im hoping to reduce the size what shock would you recommend to lower the bike for me?
