That bike looks amazing with all those upgrades. For the seat post issue, you can have a knurl put on the outside diameter of the seat post. I can do that knurl on a lathe at my workplace. Let me know if you decide to go that route. Nice video on the Ecells e-bike.
I did that with my last electric bike orange pedals orange grips. I just like the color by the way you can get all orange petals, and all orange grips on the Radrover site.
Hi thanks for the video. I just received my 5 Star today. Can you share the display settings so I can unlock the top speed and other settings that are related to the top speed. If you know of a video that’s already posted can you share a link to the video. Thank you
Thanks , look forward to that and I’m sure it will help out alot of subscribers. I found out that the settings have to be tailored to which motor is on the bike.
The third screw is the B tension for the chain wrap on the freewheel. The issue with the seatpost..... look up FiberGrip. It comes in a paste form. Put on the post and a little inside the frame. Works great. You'll be happy.
You need to add a better headlight, winter is coming.. Looks cool overall man! Also as far as adjusting your derailleur, the tourney is not very easy to get set correctly but I’d recommend looking up some how to vids. You want to release your shifter cable tension, set your high and low screws first without the cable connected, plenty of good vids out on the process. I’m throwing an Altus on my 5 star until I switch to a nicer clutched set up as I’ve had much better luck with those and they are cheap.
Your link to the Ergon grips links to the model GC1, which is meant for bikes with swept-back handlebars. The Ergon CP1's would probably work better on the E-Cells bike (with straight handle bars). Let me know if you found different.
i would call ecells to get the recommended diameter of their seatposts. the swap it out for a suspension seat posts. some seatpost suspension brands come with shims you can also place with the post.
Beyond a test, how comfortable are you at 35mph on the street with knobby tires? (not much contact patch). Gently sand the post and inside the clamp to rough up without removing any material.
Purchased a stock 17" and excited to get it in. Unfortunately, they were out of stock 17" so I have to wait for the next shipment with no ETA. However, on a positive note, I was able to purchase before the $300 tariff with Dave's July 4th $200 off discount for $1795. Thanks for the customizable tips and links.
Wow what a great deal! Or at least when it arrives 😊. I’m considering the dual star step over, but need to get rid of other e-bike and sit down scooter first. Did you order yours with a torque sensor by chance?
Thanks for the accessory links; however I didn't see one for that nifty chainstay protector you are using. I like the looks better than the typical Lizard Skins that most folks are using. Do you have a link for it?
@@ChrisCrossed well said :) I do argree, but thought you had built it as it was mighty fine & I hadnt seen that design before. thank you for the link - I see some types Ida not see before. :)
Just got the bike. Where did you turn for guidance on the power settings? I am interested in reducing the power level on PAS level 1. I would like to keep that speed around 9-13 mph for just sightseeing type riding. From the factory my bike wants to hit about 18mph in PAS 1.
What about trying another seat post and shim combo? Unless it's the seat post clamping area inside and just can't get it tight enough. You could spray the post with automobile undercoating. 😂
@@ChrisCrossedWhy is that? I tried their bikes at an Expo recently and one with the torque sensor and one without. Even though I could only ride up to 20 mph but I felt it was slightly more natural with the torque sensor. Gator had mentioned I would start to notice ghost pedaling after 28 mph.
I heard that you can do a wheelie when you pull the throttle on full. That is powerful. but how long does the battery last and how long does it take to recharger it?
Seat post use finish line carbon paste! How did the shop not tell you that is unreal?!?! Careful with those pedals they look cheap AF! Dont skimp on pedals!
I'd be wearing gloves and a full face helmet. And I have a loud bicycle horn and daytime running safety lights. You can also wear a motorcycle body airbag,that protects vital organs in the event of a crash. Never can be too safe..
@@ChrisCrossed oh wow thats the way to go for you then. :) I was thinking it was just an on/off throttle. its good to know the throttle can be a gradual thing. I kinda stopped watching as it was just kinda jerky and reminded me of riding with my sister & others that gas n go - then stop - then gas n go - then repeat it again. yeah its a bit hard for us that are along for the ride as our nerves tell us there is danger ahead - stop n check it out - I like to look around and relax, listen to everything. Im a bit distracted by the sporadic things. oops but just a different driving style :) [yup im one of those :( ]
Regarding seatpost slippage, either apply some grip/friction/carbon paste, or change "upgrade" the clamp.
Try some talcum powder on the seat tube. Works great to keep rifle scopes from slipping in the scope rings. 😉👍
I've had those same Ergon grips on my bike for over 15 years,they are amazing & give you more control.
I guess they last long!

I'd also install a bigger saddle seat and a Thud Buster on the seat post. 😊

Some of my "first-call" accessories/add-ons would be...
CC LED-type wheel lights OR ANY motion-activated LED light system
Rear turn indicator lights

Maybe trim cutting some small piece of inter tube to put around the seat post. ?

Thx yeah i should prob upgrade the derailleur at some point
I'vc wondered why people don't use two headlights. A widespread pattern for the first 30 feet and then a more focused beam for distance.
Great mods, looks sharp!!
Thx for watching
Beautiful! Nice job.
Hi, love your video and all the mods you’ve done on your bike. Could you please tell me what size is your West Biking rear rack bag? Thank you. 😊

lower the C5 setting, i put mine down to 6 and now get 16mph on PAS 1, put it down to 2 or 3 maybe and try that
Where did you get the mirror from I'm getting the same bike but the size I'm getting is 17 inch

Thanks I will try new combo
One More question where did you get the pedals from
here you go amzn.to/4gAkmeP
The stickers on the Battery were did you get These Done
I just uploaded their logo to StickeMule and had them made with a clear background
Thanks for the ebike selling tips 👍
I used hair spray on my seatpost to stop it from slipping and it worked
Interesting hack
Does your bike run a cadence sensor or torque sensor?
cadence, i dont belive fast ebikes should have a torque sensor

I got 38 miles on a real world test with lots of hills but it can go farther on flat ground. About 7 hours

In lieu of airbags, checkout moto-x dirt bikers chest protector "body armor"
The orange accents look nice, but the orange disc bolts look rusted. 😅
They are a light orange not s dark as I wanted
How long did it take to get your bike?
Someone canceled heir order so I got theirs fast
@@ChrisCrossed my wifes bike had to be ordered so we got another month maybe
How do you get it to throttle past the 20 mph? I've been playing with the settings
Mine came unlocked 🔓
Check the Ecells TH-cam channel for instructions
is your throttle just an on - off?
What do you mean?
@@ChrisCrossed you operate the throttle full on or full off, that is why I ask if it is an on - off throttle?
Ah so yeah on and off, I mostly pedal so the throttle I use mainly for a burst of speed crossing the street, getting started etc
@@bellyacres7846 it’s always on, there whenever indeed it

Are the Ergon Grips the same length as the stock grips you replaced on th 5 Star?
yes i think so
Installed the Ergon Grips. Big Improvement over stock Grips! Thanks for sharing.
Great video
Whats the seat post diameter?
33.9 I think
Let me ask you a question not to get too personal but how tall are you and how much do you weigh being at 41 mph is a lot
six foot 175
Who’s the manufacturer of your mirror
Meachow
Thank you
17 or 19 frame on your Ecells General?
17
40 mph....nice
you want to change those tyres.you'll get a puncher for sure.
