Why in the world does this bike not have a breakaway portion in the cable routing, that would alleviate all of this nonsense? Does it just come down to being a security issue? That you have to go through this entire process to remove your rear wheel, is a really big PITA. Will the second generation of the Revv 1, fix this design oversight?
I was thinking the same exact thing when I questioned why he was removing the controller until I realized there was no breakaway portion near the motor. That would have made life much easier.
Quick release is a terrible idea for security reasons. However, I do agree, this is quite a lot of work. I’ve had to change my flat tire twice and it is a nightmare. I do understand why it is done this way though. By having all the connections housed inside the controller box, everything is protected from the elements.
I own 2 RadPower bikes both with quick release motor cables and never had any security issues in the three years of ownership. It is definitely much more convenient than my Revv1.
I don’t get it why would you remove your rear wheel for? If there is a flat tire you cannot just fix it the same way you fix a puncture in a wheels car?
This is a terrible design...pretty much need to take apart the whole bike to change a flat. Crazy.
I have the rift and I am not exaggerating when I say if I knew it was this much work to change the tire I never would have bought it.

All that to change a tire cmon guys I hope I don’t get a flat. It’s easier to buy a new bike. Update with a quick release this is crazy.

I was able to take off my rear wheel, without removing the tensioner, or disconnecting the entire controller. You guys should update this video
can you describe your process? thank you!
I think all you gotta do is remove main cable wire and just loose it up the tension but not unscrew it @rickbman6367 ?

Because it has an inner tube and cars don't
