Regarding seatpost slippage, either apply some grip/friction/carbon paste, or change "upgrade" the clamp.

@moto434 Ай бұрын

That bike looks amazing with all those upgrades. For the seat post issue, you can have a knurl put on the outside diameter of the seat post. I can do that knurl on a lathe at my workplace. Let me know if you decide to go that route. Nice video on the Ecells e-bike.

Some of my "first-call" accessories/add-ons would be... CC LED-type wheel lights OR ANY motion-activated LED light system Rear turn indicator lights

The third screw is the B tension for the chain wrap on the freewheel. The issue with the seatpost..... look up FiberGrip. It comes in a paste form. Put on the post and a little inside the frame. Works great. You'll be happy.

You need to add a better headlight, winter is coming.. Looks cool overall man! Also as far as adjusting your derailleur, the tourney is not very easy to get set correctly but I’d recommend looking up some how to vids. You want to release your shifter cable tension, set your high and low screws first without the cable connected, plenty of good vids out on the process. I’m throwing an Altus on my 5 star until I switch to a nicer clutched set up as I’ve had much better luck with those and they are cheap.

@ChrisCrossed Ай бұрын

Thx yeah i should prob upgrade the derailleur at some point

Purchased a stock 17" and excited to get it in. Unfortunately, they were out of stock 17" so I have to wait for the next shipment with no ETA. However, on a positive note, I was able to purchase before the $300 tariff with Dave's July 4th $200 off discount for $1795. Thanks for the customizable tips and links.

Maybe trim cutting some small piece of inter tube to put around the seat post. ?

@iblackfeathers Ай бұрын

i would call ecells to get the recommended diameter of their seatposts. the swap it out for a suspension seat posts. some seatpost suspension brands come with shims you can also place with the post.

Your link to the Ergon grips links to the model GC1, which is meant for bikes with swept-back handlebars. The Ergon CP1's would probably work better on the E-Cells bike (with straight handle bars). Let me know if you found different.

@Greg-me8le Ай бұрын

Just got the bike. Where did you turn for guidance on the power settings? I am interested in reducing the power level on PAS level 1. I would like to keep that speed around 9-13 mph for just sightseeing type riding. From the factory my bike wants to hit about 18mph in PAS 1.

@ChrisCrossed Ай бұрын

lower the C5 setting, i put mine down to 6 and now get 16mph on PAS 1, put it down to 2 or 3 maybe and try that

@JohnBabcock-qy1cs Ай бұрын

What about trying another seat post and shim combo? Unless it's the seat post clamping area inside and just can't get it tight enough. You could spray the post with automobile undercoating. 😂

@ChrisCrossed Ай бұрын

Thanks I will try new combo

@AEFisch Ай бұрын

Beyond a test, how comfortable are you at 35mph on the street with knobby tires? (not much contact patch). Gently sand the post and inside the clamp to rough up without removing any material.

@ChrisCrossed Ай бұрын

will try that, im ok at 35 mph going straight, cornering is another story

@rolandgadue4351 Ай бұрын

I heard that you can do a wheelie when you pull the throttle on full. That is powerful. but how long does the battery last and how long does it take to recharger it?

@ChrisCrossed Ай бұрын

I got 38 miles on a real world test with lots of hills but it can go farther on flat ground. About 7 hours

@@ChrisCrossed oh wow thats the way to go for you then. :) I was thinking it was just an on/off throttle. its good to know the throttle can be a gradual thing. I kinda stopped watching as it was just kinda jerky and reminded me of riding with my sister & others that gas n go - then stop - then gas n go - then repeat it again. yeah its a bit hard for us that are along for the ride as our nerves tell us there is danger ahead - stop n check it out - I like to look around and relax, listen to everything. Im a bit distracted by the sporadic things. oops but just a different driving style :) [yup im one of those :( ]
