No lubrication of the bottom bracket bearings and putting the bottom brackets on too hard or over torquing them. I have a BCA SC29 that I can't get the bottom bracket fixed cup off of now. Bought the right tool and ended up stripping or rounding off the fixed cup and if I have t take it somewhere to have it removed then it's probably going to cost me more then the bike's worth. It started out with some noise and strange movement in the crank when peddling so I figured that I take it apart and see if it needed to be re-lubed and tightened or per-loaded only to find out that it was bone dry in the bottom bracket and bearings.
This is the second time I've seen the inside of the factory the other time was on Kev Central the machine that chews the wheels in a simple sentence just amazing I don't know what the current lineup is but I would consider the BCA 29 I don't think it's in production right now in fact I'm going to check there is a Genesis equivalent that wasn't production as well but it was assembled in China
Thoroughly enjoy my Ebike but customer service sucks. I paid $350 for an extra battery. It wouldn't work and I have been fighting with Kent to get a replacement for 2 months. I took battery to Autozone for recycling (like they told me to) , sent a receipt, photo of battery and serial number plus copy of receipt. I talked to them and they said letter from Autozone manager was not enough. They insisted Batteries Plus would provide receipt. I had went to 3 area Battery Plus and all said they would provide receipt for the battery per se, but not with specific serial number and brand. Customer service insisted they would. Now I am stuck with a $350 non funcioning battery!
Waow. A very impressive factory technology. Why build outdated technology bikes? You’re expecting to take the very low end segment back from Chinese industry. Why not also use those skills to build affordable modern bikes and compete with famous brands that have delocalised?
Have you ever thought that many people like retro bikes. I'm just glad that something is made in the US. So, stop complaining. At least this company is putting Americans to work.
Il est très difficile de "lutter" contre les entreprises chinoises avec un taux horaire très bas. Si ces vélos se vendent tant mieux, mais tous les composants sont chinoix c'est sûr. Par contre il n'y a pas du tout de diversité ethnique dans l'entreprise à part le "cadre dirgigeant" je suppose.
The wheel building machine is wild. But please consider what you're making. You're wasting resources and contributing to pollution to build outdated and weak parts for example the 7 speed free hubs and frames still using V brake post mounts. These garbage bikes meet your bottomline and sell for some profit but if you stop making junk and actually designed modern bikes and parts the profits will come in greater margins. In short, stop short selling these cheap designs and inferior products just to make ends meet and give the consumers a fair and valuable product. You're already making them in the US which is hard, take the next step to set the example for others that you can not only make them here but make them better than anywhere else.
These are department store bikes. This is apparently what their customers want. You can't afford more expensive components when you're competing against other manufacturers in the same segment. Get a clue before throwing shade. They're at least making them in the US and bringing back a dying industry.
Estas fábricas americanas jamás le van a ganar a las fábricas chinas y las mejores fabricaciones de bicicletas eléctricas y bicicletas convencionales son muchos mejores chinos
Really cool video. Nice production line. You guys are doing a great job.

It’s good to see all these people have jobs
people could dig holes with spoons if having a job is all that matters

Actually it's back in production and is on sale at Wally world for $148
Do you not make your ones frames ? Or bought in from the Far East ?
Nice video, thanks :)
BSO's that would make Chinese bike makers blush!
Look keenly all them do is assembling it all those parts must made in china,bycycle is ez to make compare to china

Don't give up or let them get away with it. Keep fighting with them.
@@luigiprovencher I did. I vontacted my state attourney general and thru him got a battery. Sometimes government does work!

Looks ripe for labour saving, looks like a UK car manufacturing plant from the 1970's with 3 people doing 1 job..

Gotta walk before you run. Why is this surprising?
Because some people still prefer a stronger bike to that cheap crap
@@sirjamesjemo3390 Apparently they know their customer and market. So what if it's not for you? Move on.

No proszę. Biały menadżer a reszta do roboty w przeciwnym kolorze 😂😂
Kadro kaynak yerleri bu kadar mı kötü olabilir?!
Diversity ??? ( apart the chinese components ).
Il n'y a pas du tout de diversité ethnique dans l'entreprise à part le "cadre dirgigeant" je suppose.
За минут машинка преустанавил васмерку а я почти час мучилса😅😅😅
why are bicycles still produced with technology from the 70s?
What are you talking about? Those wheelbuilding machines or powder-coating line hardly look like 70s tech.

looks like China bicycle dude

thanks for that. I watched this video again and am even more disgusted by the quality of the products and outdated factory.
