Generic MD 1000 and HD 750 ebike model discussion

[WhitzATL]

I know right, I want to add more and was thinking of adding puncture sealant after watching some YT videos as it seemed to work really well, however now I am not sure if I can or if its wise as I believe these tires came with a tube as it felt like it when I pumped them up, not sure can someone confirm this?

I always feel awkward asking this, but whatever. How tall are you? I'm 5'-9" and I kinda worry if this is going to be too big.

I just ordered the Tannus Armour Bundle, got the Handlebar Jack today in the mail. I want to add some grips, suspension seat, and not sure what else yet.

Just received my Tannus bundle today. Don't have the bike yet but the tannus inserts are thick! Great protection im sure.

Haha, you made me laugh...I changed into a man at birth, it was really weird.

Does anyone know pros/cons of the thudbuster vs suntour? Of the 2 which has less impact of on adding additional height to the bike?

 

[thenorm]

Hey @Shurikman, here the straight links from amazon, this will get you on your way if you want to customize like mine. The mudguard I cannot find on amazon as it is not exactly the one I got as mine has longer straps and made for big battery ebikes, the brand is sks mudguard from Germany. The Rambo bike looked cool until I saw the md1000 with dual batteries, it was all over after that and I am so glad I picked this model and so you will you, I guarantee it or send me your ebike back.

Hey guys, how goes it? I have been following this thread ever since I bought my generic md1000 from flower at leili. Well as everyone here knows it has been an experience to say the least, however I have been ordering from china since early 2000's and becoming patient is definitely a trait of mine now, lol. Anyways, I received my bike today and WOW, FAHQing awesome boys, just like Terry777 said its HUGE. I quickly customized my bike a bit and now I will order a suspension seat and am leaning towards the new thudbuster. Anyway just wanted to say a quick hi to you guys and here are a few pics inside my house and not in the wild. (

Awesome brother. Get it charged up and get some miles on it! Enjoy!

Yes they have tubes. I fitted tuffy tyre liners off rip, I didn’t even take the back wheel off, they slid right in. I’d change the tape if I was changing to tubeless. Personally I’ll stay the way I have it as the ride is comfy enough and no punctures so all good. I’m actually down to 10 PSI right now as it’s icy as hell in Scotland right now. Bike is handling it fine and I’m not really riding like an old man so we’ll happy! Just wish it had a heater fitted!!

I bought the Handlebar Jack 6 or 7 months ago. Ingenious design and good for on the road/trail flat repair. I used them once to test them out at home but not since that time. I bought a bike stand that I use for regular bike maintenance.

Both the same height wise bro! You’ll save a few quid getting the Suntour though and I have found it to be very easy to set for my weight and does it’s job well. Your call but I’d say get the Suntour. You won’t be disappointed. Mind and get the 350mm in length one. RMK got the 400mm but he’ll get away with it cause he’s tall. There’s cables and the back side of the battery connector at the bottom of the tube hence the 350mm will be better for you as you’ll need it low like me.
