His setup is on a splined hub which holds the gears. If for some reason there is a locknut inside the hub holding the collar on then it is not going to budge. That would mean something on the other side must come off to slide the axle out.

Maybe there is a tool to hold the outer hub and the collar and axle unscrew as a unit?

left or right hand thread?

There's a youtube channel of a guy who rides a sur ron or similar through the streets of LA that brought this to mind. He is not concerned about the law as they have plenty of other things to do. There's going to be plenty of really nice bike paths available when the gasoline runs out. I...

I look at the ebike market as similar to the automobile. In it's infancy. Somewhere, somehow, hot rodding ebikes for more power, speed, whatever, I would expect to take place. And maybe it already is, I just don't see it. I think bigger hub motors as replacements would be a start.

Probably same year, como 5. Also have a vado 5 though no issues with it and no adjustments made.

On mine, there was lately a random shutting off, a couple times. Where the battery connects with the bike, the male and female portion, I adjusted the female portion so it would connect with the male portion in a better fitting manner. No more quitting. When installing the battery, it is kind...

Yeah, that's what I suspected, aligns with my thoughts. Thanks.

My brother dug a motorcycle half helmet out of the dumpster. Is that budget enough?

Anybody find the need or desire to change the brake fluid? Believe mine uses mineral oil. Any degradation or what not? The oil is cheap, the parts not so much.

Really liking this kickstand. Well worth the $24 usd.

Re my above posts about the battery, I have not had any problems after I looked at it. I believe expanding the female contacts in the battery that contact the male on the bike have resolved the blackout issue. I did replace the kickstands on the Vado and Como 5. One had the plastic portion...

My como kickstand took a dump. Hauling groceries, guess it couldn't take the heat. The info on this thread helped me find one and order through amazon. Here is a pick of the original and broke piece. If Spec is going to charge top notch prices, they need to use top notch pieces. Hollow...

I've done it. I'd say noticeable to lots.

“Never put into your body that which is harmful, which you know is harmful. Anything that causes the lack of oxygen flow to your brain causes the cells to perish in great numbers and they will never be again, for the brain lacks the ability to reproduce its cells. When your brain cells are...

I think I bought mine from someone in the US, and don't remember any issues with breaking. The one issue I had was the extender with the left hand threads, the die was wearing to the point the spacer was difficult to thread into the crank arm. Figured the machinist didn't want to trade it out...

I opened the battery up to take a look. Inside was clean and dry. Nothing out of the ordinary. Whoever takes on the job of fixing ebike batteries could probably write their own ticket. The only thing I could see was the contacts, the female portion might have relaxed so I attempted to move...

Possibly, though the display was working just fine. With electric, anything is possible:)

Well, got to experience a blackout on the Como 5 a couple times. About a week ago the power cut out although the display was still operable. Today, another power outage, the display was normal except the percentage of the battery was blank and the blocks on the right side to indicate level...

All my bikes have pedal spacers. I was hitting my heel on the chain stay on one of the bikes, size 13 shoe and I ride with the balls of my feet on the pedals, and the spacers put the pedals in a more normal place for my feet. I have a pretty athletic build and was a sprinter. With the pedals...
