    Loose Spokes on Pedego Element

    From what he told me he wasn't just tightening the spoke. I can just tighten a spoke. He tuned it a trued it.

    Loose Spokes on Pedego Element

    I'm not sure what you mean by "wheel building". I got the bike from a dealer who I assume put the wheels on. Then I've had velofix tighten, true, align. If it means this Pedego Element is poorly made then I'd rather sell it and buy a bike that is made well.

    Loose Spokes on Pedego Element

    Thanks. I can try but I'm in Canada and often they tell me to Call Pedego Canada and they never pick up their phone.

    Loose Spokes on Pedego Element

    The came loose after I got the bike a month after having it and then again in December. Both times I've had them all tightened, re-aligned, trued.

    Loose Spokes on Pedego Element

    Hi everyone, I've had my Element since September. I had to get the spokes tightened and aligned mostly on the back wheel in October. I figured this was just a manufacturing issue. Then again a bunch of spokes were loose on the back and front of my Element recently so here it is January and I...

    Pedego Element Brakes

    Thanks for that. I suspect some of it is the type of brake pads that get hard spots. Wasn’t as noisy today but will probably need to align the back brakes. I’m getting a Tannus liner tomorrow that I’m going to install with their smaller tube so will perhaps do that at the same time (maybe...

    Pedego Element Brakes

    Yeah I was thinking about using alcohol on the rotors. I ride mostly trails as well so my bike is always getting dirty/dusty/muddy.

    Pedego Element Brakes

    Hey all, I’ve been riding my new Element almost every day since I got it about a week ago and I notice that there is some strange sounds from the brakes. First a squeaking which I think was the rear brake pad running on the disc. Next there is the front brakes that sound like crunching when I...

    Element Throttle & Grip Question

    Update for anyone that finds this thread in the future trying to solve the same problem....the part number is 52022 for the half twist throttle and it has the same connector just like 6zfshdb mentions in the thread above. If you're American I think it's a $20 part. If you're Canadian, it's a $50...

    Element Throttle & Grip Question

    Ok called Pedego support & they gave me the part number then called to get it shipped from Pedego Canada because the US couldn't ship to me. Canada never answers the phone when I call for support or sales so I called a store that I know is open and hour away from me. They have them in stock so...

    Element Throttle & Grip Question

    Thanks for all that & yes I did get the shifter Ergon grips. I buy the shifter ones not the rohloff nexus ones because it's harder to find those and I like the extra room the shorter left hand grip gives me on the handlebars for my other junk. Just waiting for Pedego to open for the day so I can...

    Element Throttle & Grip Question

    Yes I got the ones that will work with throttles but my issue is that the Pedego grip is attached to the throttle on the right site. Remove the grip, remove the throttle. My hope is Pedego has another independent throttle that I can replace this one with so I can use my grips.

    Element Throttle & Grip Question

    Hi everyone, I just got the Pedego Element and ordered my usual Ergon grips to replace the very painful grips that come with the bike. To my dismay, I noticed that the right grip on the bike is integrated with the twist throttle. Does this mean that in order to replace the grips on the bike...

    Got Called a "Cheater" by Another Cyclist

    Though now you do give me the idea of just saying “that’s not only arrogant but also socially intrusive”. They’d be completely baffled at the accurate description of the situation.

    Got Called a "Cheater" by Another Cyclist

    A good slogan could be “I’m not cheating, you’re cheating” on a shirt or helmet.

    Difficulty Selling an eBike

    I've seen some folders sitting for a long time on FB Marketplace. For what it's worth, I would totally have been interested in a bike like yours but I'm perhaps different than others. I want a folder for sure. I think the perception with folders is that they are cheap or something. Your bike has...

    Interesting Use Case. Need Advice.

    That looks great! My dad is currently riding the bike I bought, and had assembled by, ToysRUs back in the 90s & it's held up extremely well.
