That new mantis bike for 3k is 😧 crazy... Could you build it for that as consumer? And its known brand... Maybe this will force other companies to compete... I would love to build my own but that rrar mantis is tempting... It will get police attention tho... Love your content 👍

@@burnthedead13 I am 5'8 and I am barely flat-footed (both feet flat at a stop ) when it sags from the weight of sitting on it. try a mountain bike with an extra large frame and you'll get an idea. You can ride it it's just that when you stop you're probably going to lean over a little and use one leg to hold it up.

Hey Man I'm curious in the manual "UsersGuide_EHLS500_EN.pdf" it looks like at 1080p the max refresh rate is 60hz (which has a pixel clock of 148.5 Mhz). But they also support resolutions like 2560x1080 @ 60hz (which has a pixel clock of 198.0 Mhz), and 3840x2160 @ 60hz (which has a pixel clock of 594.0 Mhz). Given it's obvious based on the fact it can play 3d blurays the LCD's function at 120hz, do you have any idea why it doesn't support 1080p 120hz? Is the HDMI front end just not designed to accept anything above 60hz? For gaming have you managed to get it to do 1080p @ 120hz using CRT (custom resolution tool) or anything like that?

@samjohnson5172 ай бұрын
Absolutely so long as the cable is long enough, it should be zip tied to the swing arm,you have to cut the zip ties that should give you enough cable, just remove the rim and lay it down next to the bike and change the tire from the non-wire side.

The frames are all pretty much the same they don't seem to come in different sizes. I'm 5'8 but my seat post is all the way down and then I'm barely flat-footed. I would say get whatever frame you like and then adjust all the other parts, for example get a longer rear shock instead of 190 mm get a 220 or 230. And maybe longer front forks.

How do you take the rear wheel on and off? Heard I need to disconnect some of the electric cables, got no idea what I'm doing when it comes to electronics. Never seen you do this in the video so missed the most important bit. It's nice to know if the Hub motor broke I would know how to replace it or a basic tier change.
@samjohnson5174 ай бұрын
Well if you're just doing a tire change you do not have to disconnect the wiring you can remove the tire from the side of the rim that does not have wiring. If you are changing the hub motor then yes you will need to disconnect the wires that run to the controller, there will be three large wires and usually two plugs.

Ok, so i know it cost more to diy mod my aluminium Mongoose MTB frame, but at least it don't look off-the-shelf. And 28 tamper resistant Torx screws, on each side, does make bike thieves think twice. They want one easy to snatch, like yours.😁 Remove any key switch, and install a keyless remote/alarm system. Mount the speaker, in such a way, that it can't be seen or cut. Then listen to bike thieves when they say, Yo, that a U-lock! Buy the fattest U-lock you can find.
