Imagine what would happen if he touched the disc brake... 🤔

@@toddsexton4181 you may have to use a blow torch if you cant remove them. Once you do, make sure you use anti cease to prevent rust from building up. Do you ride in the rain often, or does you bike remain outside?

Thanks for the tip, I’ll try that! The bike is only a few months old, only been ridden in summer weather and stored inside, so I think they must have just over tightened the nuts when it was put together

@@toddsexton4181 id be careful not to overheat that axel though, especially since it runs to the motor. Id begin with a torque wrench and ensure you are moving counter clockwise to loosen. Torch should be absolute last option and generally only if rust is preventing movement.

@@robpettay3726 im about 5’8 or 5’9 and its a bit of a reach for me. I think the bike is made for people around 5’11. I have seen taller riders install taller seats though and it appeared like they made it work alrite. Dont get the step thru, i think it’s one inch shorter than the regular xclass. Maybe consider the grizzly since its same height as regular xclass and has the more comfortable and taller handlebars.

@@VietPho i hand tightened them. I didnt go too hard but was firm, probably around 35 psi, but make sure you use the blue lock tight to prevent them from getting loose.

@@victorreyes2967 🤷‍♂️ i didnt buy any for this video, but i am sure there are compatible ones online

@@danielbiermann4794 havent had to do that yet 🤞. May want to look it up on other vids, think i have seen others post.

You need a Planetary Gear remover. And possibly snap ring pliers

There's no way to keep the oil in. The gaskets that are on there are dustproof, not oil proof.

I had the exact same idea and did it. Works well

whatever you read had to be referrring to the chain because no, you dont do it that often. Maybe every 1k miles or unless you hear abnormal noises sooner than that.

It was def diff sound. Next time I will do the same angle lol.

Unfortunately, I think you are correct. I added another 2000 miles on it and it sounds a lot like prior to greasing it. Next time I grease the gears I'll try to get a better idea of when they return to their degreased state; it honesty may have been about 200 miles or so. A previous comment mentioned adding a grease zerk, however, that would likely cause wheel imbalance unless someone came up with a clever way of balancing such a part.

​@@dannyshowsyou should regrease after 1000kms max. The grease is not immortal. The motor needs regular intervals of regreasing. 1000kms tops.

​@@ZapytajRedditPolskaI have 2300 miles ,,,,never touched the motor .....🥲

Had to look him up... lol.

Really the only thing you need is the following link: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BR8PMGMJ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Search on Amazon the following if the link does not work: Mounts Lab motomount R3 for Yamaha YZF R3(2016+) Ram Stem Nut/Mount with 1inch(25mm) TPU Ball- Compatible with Phone/Camera/GPS Mount(Adapter) The rest is just a 17mm and 22mm wrench. I read that online people are saying to apply about 36 to 40 pounds of pressure. However! I forgot to add blue loctite threadlocker. I would apply 40 pounds of pressure with loctite.

I added more links and names on the description of the video. Hopes that help.

I'm at 3,760 or something like that. 14k is gnarly. How long have you had the bike?

@@dannyshows It took me a year to get to 14k, It would have been 15k but the Jumbo came out and I started riding it. Dual batteries are great. I did put dual batteries on my H8, but the battery is on the back. The Jumbo the battery is in the middle so it is balanced better. My plan is to get both bikes to 15k this year if my back holds out 😀

@@papablueshirt Thats amazing. If you have any recommendations on mods you have founds useful please do share. TY!

I would remove the brake caliper. In theory you could leave it on, but then you have to deal with being ridiculously careful when reinserting that heavy wheel. If the rotor strikes the caliper in a weird way you could damage either the rotor or the caliper. You could also damage the pads, thus needing to replace them. Even if you damage the pads just a bit you could end up with odd wear patterns on the brake pad. It's not worth it. Just remove the brake calipers. It does not take that much time to do.

Yes, thank you! Thanks for this video. 2 tires sitting in garage lol

I almost purchased the lucas red and tacky that via Amazon before purchasing the mobile at a local auto zone. I think either would work great.

@@dannyshows thank you. New subscriber. I suspect my planetary gears are dry. Only 300 miles slight noise in hub and year warranty has gone by. Juiced rip racer.

do not use that one, its bad for the gears

@@pauly51 your absolutely right my ar came originally with red tacky

Also, all I need is the 13/16 wrench and stuff it came with to get the wheel out right?

You will need handle bar jacks (about $53), soapy water, and the tire levers as well. When I had the Tannus I never had a flat tire. However when I changed to Kenda Kraze tires I was unable to fit the Tannus. With the new street tires and new tubes I have not had issues either.

If you mean using a battery blender, then you should be ok (with caveats). I would NEVER connect two batteries without a battery blender as that is very dangerous and could cause a fire. Also, make sure your controller is not above the 30 amp rating of the battery blender. The Ariel Rider I have has a 33amp controller (which is above the limit) and I have yet to have issues, but it is definitely pushing its limits.

@@dannyshows Thank You for answering my question. So i should update the controller too.

I mean Change*

@@skybeyondthelights That's going to be your call, but I did not change the controller. I have not had issues but I am careful to always make sure that it's not running hot. I have yet to have any significant heat issues. I usually wait at least 30 minutes after riding to start charging and make sure to switch off the batteries before charging as well. I keep a Google Nest smoke detector in my garage so that my other Nest detectors sound an alarm in case smoke is detected. The last thing I want is a fire in the middle of the night in my home and most of these issues will usually happen when charging the batteries. It appears you may live in hot weather so you will want to make sure its not overheating. Either way these are precautionary steps you will want to take with any other lithium ion batteries. 30 amp hours is quite a beastly battery, I presume its a triangle battery on the regular X-class and not a step thru? Best of luck, it's well worth it in my opinion.

@@dannyshows i have the x class 52 volt Not a stepthru version.

I’ve heard Mobil 28 won’t last 60miles, then noise will return. Let me know please.

@@pauly51 So far its still quiet.. I'm not sure on my mileage. As a car mechanic, I see no reason mobil 28 won't last. It sounds like the person who said this had a bad bearing, and the grease covered the noise up for a little while. That being said there is no official grease, like there would be in a car gear box. I have not put 1000's of miles on the new gears yet, se we will see.

@@northyland1157 sounds good, thanks. I’m curious if I should use Mobil 28, Lucas red and tacky or molykote 44 on my e-bike planetary gears in hub. There was one comment in a forum that Mobil 28 wouldn’t last 60miles.

That would make it way easier

You gonna fill the whole housing with grease then or what? Lol

We need proper bearing seals and we could fill our hubs with ATF.

Next time I will probably use lithium grease, should be soon 👍

@@dannyshows lithium grease is also not compatible as it's petroleum based.

Get mobil grease 28 or super lube synthetic grease. Both are safe for use on plastic and nylon and can be found online.

Ps the mobile one grease used in the video was fully synthetic.

Mobil 28 ftw

I get 33 or 34 on the stock. I believe I doubled that with the extra battery I added; thus I think I could get about 70 miles in range. The longest I have done is 65 miles. I don't think I'll ever do a longer ride though, that's a long day of riding. The additional range will obviously depend on the amount of amp hours you are adding via a secondary battery.

i do food delivery full time on my ebike.@@dannyshows

And you really should't use a brake rotor as a handle....

I have not maxed it yet, but can get about 34 to 38 miles on the stock battery and make it home on the secondary battery with no issue. I have done rides as long as 60 miles with no problem. The secondary battery has a switch; I keep it off until draining the first. I used to run both via the battery blender but I like having more voltage for my ride home.
