The next time you whack a finger, grab it and squeeze it on and off for a couple minutes (do this right away). If it is a fingernail- it will not darken, this works on small burns also. I think the forced blood flow to the injured area helps greatly. My grand dad told me of this about 65 years ago and I pass it on. Mike

I actually found a manual that explains the rest of those settings(also a kit from Andy). Most are not very useful from a riders perspective, but some do allow you to change the amount of power assist, regen braking strength etc.

Haven’t noticed if you have done a genuine commuter bike conversion yet. But I suspect you would get LOADS of views if you did a conversion on something like a Genesis commuter bike with pannier racks and mudguards. With the cost of fuel and insane traffic, people want commuter bikes!!! Great content thanks 🙏

if you ever round out a brake rotor bolt again, in my experiance the best way to get it out is to use a grinder with a slim cutting wheel and cut a slit in the head of the bolt, then use a flathead to get it out.Most of the times works like a charm.Also i liked the build keep it up.

Very awesome DIY E BIKE BUILD. If you plan on making another one, can I suggest using a bike frame with DUAL SHOCKS./? I have 2 e bikes, 1 factory made MTB with just front shocks and other is CKit Build using Next Power Climber DUAL Shocks. There is extreme difference when riding, the 1 shock bike is rough after the front forks and always have to lift up butt when coming across obstacles of bumps, pot holes, ect. With Dual shock bike it is extremely awesome to ride over obstacles going fast and having bike adapt to conditions of road. It is the 2 piece Dual Shock bike frames I believe is the best perfect frame to handle suspension. Believe why them 3000watt and up e bikes using them Enduro frames BASED ON THEM FRAME DESIGNS as there are many bike brands that sell them for cheaper price to use for e bike build. BIG DIFFERENCE OF COMFORT.

Yeah I'm left with a small gap I can't push it no more in the dropouts either side. Obviously alot of the shafts in just a small bit that ain't. Used 2 torque arms so hopefully nothing will ever come of it. Seen your builds and thought I never see you do it and yours seem sweet on the rides you take em. FYI same specialised as this video is the bike with the dropouts too small. Just trying to get it bang on mate
