Hello My Name is wilspeak

[wilspeak]

Thank you for letting me join this form I just a a Drift Slide 1500w E-Bike. It's on its way. It should be here in the next couple days. I would just like to have some advice on how to take care of it and how to make sure I use it correctly. Thank you

I would like to have some advice on how to take care of it.

Wilspeak —

Keep these in prime condition:

• tyres
• chain
• brakes

And to take of yourself, add:

• saddle

Enjoy that powerful beauty (should I have said ‘beast’?) when it arrives.

Looks like the Jansno that someone else here just bought except it has spokes instead of cast wheels, . While the style doesn't appeal to me,these bikes are pretty inexpensive at under $700 and appear to run as fast as advertised based on youtube reviews.

I wonder if that swing arm is going to last though.

Well,have fun and don't crash!

Wilspeak, please do.

And now I'll be thoroughly negative and bring up the subject of punctures. My solution is to carry a CO₂ + sealing foam gadget (around US$10?) that inflates and seals the problem tube.

There'll be others who will sing the praises of tubeless tyres; but let's not break the bank too soon!

Thank You for The advice. I got the bike today. But I'm getting a message saying that the photo is too large for the server to process. I do have one small problem. The left hand brake seems to have an issue with the wire coming out of it. I'm going to post the picture. Do you think you can tell me what I can do about it? Because I think it's slowing the back tire up

Brake cable. If you notice the ferrule and the lock ring both have a slot. If you rotate them, might need a pliers, so the slots line up with the slot in the lever, you can work the cable inside the brake lever. THen you retension the cable.

How do I retension the cable? And thank you for your help
