    Spark Mini Unboxing and Assembly

    It's really not the difficult at all to assemble. Any sort of lubricant on the pedal threads can be used, it just helps the mating surfaces mesh as your threading steel into aluminum and it will help to prevent galling. The most important ones after the initial assembly are the crank arms as...

    Spark Mini Unboxing and Assembly

    Thanks for the pointers and advice, really appreciate the feedback. I'm hoping to do more video about the Mini in the future and finish editing the travel videos that I have accumulating on my server. With a foot of snow currently on the ground, it may be awhile before I get more video of the...

    Spark X - side mirror installation

    You will probably have to change your grips in order to put bar end mirrors on, The grips on the mini are the stitched pleather style with open ends and a set screw to hold them on, located where the palm of your hand is sits. I do like the bar end mirror though and may try the Mirrycle mirror...

    Spark X - side mirror installation

    I've got the spark mini and just installed a bar end mirror. The Sparkbikes webpage says: * Not compatible with Spark, Spark X, and Spark RX * Compatible with open ended grips. (Previous models of Spark and Spark X may have open ended grip) Your bike is fairly new, are your grips open on the...

    I got mine today. I'm in love with it. I may sleep with it tonight.

    I finally got the video edited and started another thread in order to not clutter this thread with an alternate topic. The thread is here: https://electricbikereview.com/forum/threads/spark-mini-unboxing-and-assembly.30979/

    Spark Mini Unboxing and Assembly

    We purchased a couple of Sparkbikes Mini's for my DW and myself and I was so impressed, I thought that I would take a shot at an unboxing and assembly video. This is my first attempt at something like this and the editing is a little brutal in places so be gentle folks. I hope you enjoy my...

    I got mine today. I'm in love with it. I may sleep with it tonight.

    I'm very pleased with our purchase of 2 spark Mini's. The frame appears to be well made and the ancillary parts are of good quality, not top of the line but good enough for my expectation and the type of riding that we do. I'm just finishing the editing of short unboxing and assembly video and...

    Sparkbike 2019 Review

    I'm wondering if a neoprene cover and a couple of pocket warmers would help. I'm in Prince George and will be trying a few different ideas to see if anything helps with battery life. I fly radio control AC and a few guys at the field use the pocket warmers in there battery vaults while at the...

    Sparkbike 2019 Review

    I did an unboxing and assembly video on Sunday and should have it edited in the next few days, I'll post a link here when it's posted to youtube. I've never done a video of this nature so it will be pretty basic but shows what you will get and how easy it is to get the bike going.

    Sparkbike 2019 Review

    Great write up, I bought 2 of the Mini's during the sale. I've finished assembly and adjustments on one and the other will be done today. I'm very happy with these, after much research I think I made the right choice.

    Any Black Friday ebike sales?

    Sparkbikes has started their sale! I just purchased 2 white spark mini's for the loving wife and myself. They are the base model because I didn't want the hydraulic brakes. I would've liked the 17ah battery but I can live without it. Cheers Daryl B.
