    The motor position snail adjuster will need to be rotated down so the motor can be adjusted up (loosen belt). After gently tightening the motor bolts, use the snail adjuster to slowly make very small adjustments until the primary belt (or chain) has the right tension. Tighten the bolts (4).

  • @johny79action

    Too adjust the belt tension there is a silver metal cam that may stop you removing tension, you have to rotate it to allow some movement in the motor :). Great vid man I wouldn't of thought to check brake lever sensor.

    rad man this video is great. I riped that wire sensor for the brake out of the socket when it panic throttled into a pole. THe throttle will not work now. I thought it was the throttle that needed replacing as well as the brake. Now I know it couold possibly just be this sensor wire for the brake. I am guessing if I just unplug the other end of the wire that will fix it? remove all traces of the sensor wire and it will work?

    also one reason for your battery for not charging could be that it's too hot from riding. it won't charge when it hot. wait 30 minutes and try again. always works for me.

    How about my sur ron. Works. Drives but not as power ful? It’s fully unlocked. Just the speed isn’t there. Only does 45mph with the wheel of the floor.

    • @cvick44
      @cvick44 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I’d start by making sure your chain is clean and lubed and not too tight. Spin your wheels off the ground to make sure they spin freely. If they don’t, replace bearings. Basically check everything that moves or spins to make sure there’s no binding, excessive friction. Something like a bent wheel or spoke could cause tire to rub. Think “how can I reduce friction”
      And 45mpr is not that far off from what most people are getting on a stock bike. I’m 185lb and my sur ron’s speedo topped out at 48mpr with stock 48tooth

    • @electricisbetter
      @electricisbetter  ปีที่แล้ว

      I'm not super familiar with the Segways, but I believe the power is all controlled with the app. The x160 dosnt have a high top end speed to begin with. The x260 will have more speed options. If you want to gain more speed without buying a new bike, I'd suggest picking up a Sur-ron X controller for $250 and installing it on your bike. That'd allow the bike to go 40mph+

    After cleaning the belt, let it dry and spray it with belt conditioner. Don't use anything else as many lubricants will eat at the belt and cause failure.
    The battery reset didn't work for me. Tried it hundreds of times. I'm waiting on parts to make a slower/lower amperage charger to try to revive a friends battery.

    So this caused me to wreck in a big way... I was nonchalantly riding downhill near a rock garden when my bike literally just took off, full power out of nowhere. I completely let go of throttle while simultaneously trying to break... still full throttle, finally went end over end from breaking too hard right down a Rocky embankment . Now when I throw it on my dirt bike stand and turn the bike on if I touch the throttle and let go, the throttle goes full torque all on its own.... this is a dangerous problem and I’m assuming it’s due to a short in the throttle cable? I have no clue, I’m just glad my wife or son wasn’t on the bike when it went into full exorcism mode....

    • @electricisbetter
      @electricisbetter  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I would also say that. If you have one of the cable throttles on your bike it might be stuck where the cable wraps around the throttle box. There is a easy way to check this. Just follow the cable down to the throttle box (may have to remove the bash plate) and make sure the circle part that the cable wraps around is returning to its start position after you let go of the throttle. If you have a wire electric throttle, I would look at just getting a whole new one. They run like $30 from Luna cycle. Hope that answer helps 👍

      Sounds like it's still in 'clipped wing mode". On the connector for the battery, (the black communications plug. Not the red and black power plug) there should be a little green and black looped wire sticking out of the heat shrink. You'll have to cut that. It'll unlock your bikes power.
