Thanks Scott, I just received my scoria on 12/12 , Mokwheel has made some more improvements, they no longer come with the center kickstand, mine came with a nice side kick stand, and also the tires are improved also. the chain guard is only on outer side and is solid not bendable great improvement , i think the early versions came with one on both sides which cause chain derail. this bike is really powerful I got the holiday $148 package of accessories well worth it especially the padded seat. keep on making great videos, anyone ordering now will get the new version of the scoria. thanks
Thanks for the input! It's good to see that they keep improving their products.
@@scotthardestyScott I didn’t see all your videos…at least not yet…(lol) but did you by chance review the Mokwheel Obsidian?
I recently purchased a bike from Velotric and I used your discount code. 😀
I’m really interested in the Mokwheel Fat tire Obsidian because it meets my needs.
• a dual-suspension
• a 400lb total weight capacity
• a brushless 1000w hub mtr.
• a quality torque sensor
• a quality color display
• a 48v 19.6 amp hour UL 🔋
• a high lumen quality light
Unfortunately they decided against including integrated break lights…that’s okay I have just the fix for that.
Yes, I agree with you it’s good to see that most e-bike manufacturers seem to always improve on their products.
I’m a semi-retired Chicagoan still in my 50’s looking to get his out of shape body on a reliable and sturdy e-bike.
I’m absolutely determined to lose weight and get fit…
…so thanks to TH-cam and thanks to good people like you I’ve been motivated to get back on my horse and get physically moving again.
Get busy living or get busy dying…
Praying works…
…just look at the Chicago Bears 🐻 at least now with a dynasty quarterback (Caleb Williams) there’s hope…
Let’s go Cubs let’s go Bears!
Scott, has Mokwheel offered to provide you with their fat tire full suspension (Obsidian)
e-bike for review?
I’m sorry I know people ask you these dumb questions all the time, we’re all like a bunch of kids who just got their first big wheel. 🛞
Thanks for the information, however I'm a noob at mechanical stuff so I wish you had shown us all the steps with the tools needed. I was looking at this bike but the ghost pedaling turned me off to it, but if the fix is something that even I could do then maybe I'll reconsider it again. Right now, I like the solution, just not sure if I'm capable of doing it.
Sorry Richard. It is super easy. I don't know the allen wrench size as I just keep trying different sizes until I find the one that fits. But it really is as simple as unbolting those 4 bolts, removing the stock chain ring and guard, then putting the new ones on. You can always buy the parts and have your local bike shop switch them out for you.
So you don't have to remove the pedals? I guess I'm not envisioning how it comes off. I'll go look at my current bike and see if i can figure out how it might work.
@richarddkearney Crank has to be removed to get the 4th bolt out.
This guy probably doesn't work on his own bike.
Omg dude! Changed to 48 t Ty so much my basalt is now perfect. Great fix tytytyty
Happy to help!
Love the fixes. I read the specs and looks like a great bike!
It quickly became my favorite Utility bike. Especially after this addition.
Your video randomly popped up when I was searching ghost pedalling. Was NOT expecting to see the 606! I miss Chicago.
It's awesome you are familiar with it. 90% of my reviews start on the 606 and most take me down the Lakeshore Trail.
Hi thank you for your video. I put a chainring woth 52T on and it works great. But i have an issue i cannot find out what diameter the rear axle has? It is not m12x1.25 or m12.1.75. do you knwo the right nut size?
After 7 mails with mokwheel support they where not able to say what diameter it is or where i can buy a replacement nut :(. They have to check back with the engineers... It is unbelievable for me that their are no technical drawings or something...
Maybe you can help me?
Thank you and best regards from Germany
Oh man. I don't know the answer to this question. I just reviewed a bike with a 52T chainring and its awesome. I do not know the right nut size. I don't think I even know how to find out.
Thank you Scott for the great video , I am gona change it on my Basalt St.
Glad it helped
I'm finally glad to see someone on the Chicago streets! I'm planning to buy an E bike or an E kick scooter for next spring so Thanks for all the info on this particular e-bike. I live in Albany Park in Chicago near Foster and Kedzie. I was looking at that same Mokwheel last weekend at Electric movement on North ave. and Orleans but i couldn't decide between a bike or scooter.. Again Thanks I will be leaning towards the same bike. Q: How does the bike handle the colder weather?
When I first moved up to Chicago, I had an adorable apartment in Albany park, next to the Kedzie brown line on Spaulding Ave. Now I live in Logan Square. So I am always on the 606 trail and riding thru Chicago. Maybe we will run into each other someday! I will be testing the bike this winter. Thanks for watching!
@@scotthardesty Lol I live on Spaulding near NPU College. Hopefully we cross paths this summer, can't wait to catch your next bike video!!
Happy Holidays
Great video that solves a real downside to this bike. I found the chainring, but struggling to find the matching guard. You would not happen to have a link would you?
I put all the links to everything in the description.
@@scotthardesty thanks. That ...more click got me... :-). Looks like they do not offer the 48T guard anymore from that vendor. I will keep searching.
found some on ebay using this search - "Chainring Guard 104 BCD 48T"
Works alot better. THX!!!
Glad to help!
Scott I really enjoy your reviews and suggestions! Do you think this will work my my Aventure version bikes?
Thanks for the support! Hmmmm... I have never wanted to change mine. It does have the same setup so it should work. If not, it's amazon, you can always return it!
Do you believe this mod will save battery life? And how much if so? Very helpful info here you have provided.
thats a good question. I have done a battery distance with this bike BEFORE the improvements. I might have to do another one to see if it matters.
Scott, Thanks for producing Great Videos! Have you given the fix information to Mokwheel so they can make the Scoria better? I see the Scoria has a new Tire. On the Web Site picture it looks like a Tan Sidewall, but on your picture in the Video it looks like a Whitewall? Which is it?
Thank you! I did send this video to Mokwheel. When it comes to the tires, they did update them to the tan versions that have a more street tread than the mtb ones that came with mine. I upgraded the tires to these white walled ones. If I had the tans ones that come with the bikes now, I probably wouldn't have switched them out. Just filmed a video on the Scoria upgrades I have made but still need to edit it. Here is the info on the tires. amzn.to/46QDRtp
The Scoria now comes with a tan sidewall, I had an earlier model. I send each of my videos to Mokwheel after they are public so they can receive the same info as everyone else. I do not know if they made any more changes to the Scoria besides the tan tires.
Thank you!!
You're welcome!
Just wondering if this upgraded chainring voids the warranty. I purchased the Scoria based on your review as well as a positive test ride. At the age of 70, I am re-enjoying biking as I did in my 20's. The only way I have been able to beat the ghost pedaling is to turn off the PAS and pedal away. Not the best solution.
I have had to do warranty work on several of these bikes I tested. Not once has any of them asked what modifications I have made.
@@scotthardesty Originally use a 48T chainring. Just upgraded to a 50T chainring. Pedals nicely through 20mph.
Hi Scott, It appears I need to take of the pedal arm to get to Allen screw behind it , so I need a pedal arm extractor tool , do you know the size extractor I need to to take off arm, do you have a Amazon link. Any help appreciated thanks
Hmmmmm... This is the one I use. amzn.to/481wfG0
thanks Scott , I found the Park Tool CCP-22 that work easy also. for square hole cranks. @@scotthardesty
Scott
Do you think the same parts would work on the Gen 1 Sinch?
Most likely yes. If not, it's Amazon, you can just return the parts.
Bravo video, Scott. We would like to talk about an air pump review with you via email. Look forward to hearing from you
i appreciate the support.
Will that work with the first Aventon Adventure? I'm always ghost peddling when I'm trying to cruise at 25 mph on level 5.
If the sproket on your Aventure 1 is a 4 bolt, it will work. If not, you will need a 5 bolt version.
48t chainring guard nowhere to be found on amazon
Must be popular. I even checked my link in the description and it is not available.
All the ghost peddling problems I read about are at higher speeds. I just got the Scoria and feel even in PAS 1 I have a clunk peddling cadence. I peddle but never feel a smooth resistance. Will a new chainring help this too, or am I dealing with something different?
Hmmmmm.... it might fix it. Have you checked to see if your derailleur is adjusted? Maybe you are just not hitting those higher gears.
What I don’t like is spending thousands of dollars and having no customer support. Not only do they not answer their phone. They now have paused their Facebook page.
I was not aware. I had an issue when I first got the bike (my right hand grip fell apart) but was able to get ahold of customer support and they sent me new ones quickly. That was a while back.
Send an Email their phone customer service is horrible.
