Taking logos/stickers off...

[ki11a]

Anybody try taking the logo stickers off the bike? I am trying to get a cleaner look on the bike if anyone has any tips on getting the stickers off please let me know!

Heatgun, peel. Clean residue with prepsol. Wax.

Sondors owners have a successful method on their stickers. WD-40 and Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. I can't personally vouch for the method, never tried it.

Hair dryer or clothes steamer.

None of those will work...the decal is under the clear coat. Just get automotive wrap and cover the decals.You can't tell without looking closely. I only covered the Lectric on the forks and side of frame and a little on top. Warning the Chinese wrap is thicker and harder to work with. The 3m brand is self repairing and easier to use.

Did you get glossy black or matte black?

Gloss black, just like the paint on the bike.

I noticed you changed out the tires. Do the tires have a separate tire protection liner like Mr. tuffy liners? Also was it easy to change out the tires? Can you verify that the tube is indeed 20x4? I saw a video review that was saying that the tires are actually 22's and not 20's.

The tires are 20x4 the tubes are 20x4.
It took less than ten minutes to install the tires. You must make sure the bead is seated on the rim properly. I have a set of tire spoons that I use which helps..Not sure why someone would say there 22". They are slightly wider than the original tire as I notice they are snuger in my bike rack. They don't have liners and neither did the originals. Than being said I did get 2300 km with our ever a problem or flat with the originals.

Excellent, Thanks for the information. Did you notice a difference in ride with the new tires?

Yes I think they are a little quieter and may ride slightly better. That being said the ones I took off we're almost bald. I would certainly recommend them

Just finished blacking her out with 3M vinyl. I think it looks 100% better.

Looks great. I'm planning on doing the same. I will probably get rid of all the graphics and just go all black. Don't really care for branding or text. Did you do the main bar as one piece or did you do it in sections?

 

[ki11a]

I did the main bar as one piece but be sure to cut holes out for the charging port.

I thought about blacking it all out but I am going to leave the grey pinstripes for now and see how I like it.

Did you make a template or did you eyeball it with a big piece and just cut where needed?

 

[ki11a]

Just marked it with a pencil on the other side of the vinyl before I put it on, then poked a small hole so I knew where to cut it out along.

Thanks for the recommendation on the 3M vinyl! I got a 2" strip and did some de-branding on the sides & top of the frame, but left some of the grey striping.

I simply used some 400 paper and some satin black Rust-Oleum on my Ecotric Fatty. I mean it looks much better. Ecotric spent little time designing their logo. It was horrid. I left the website decal on the chainstays out of deference to a good bike and company.
