So i ordered this great electric bike. It should have come with a warning:
Some assembly required. Not all parts included. Other parts do not fit properly. Incomplete directions written by Hannibal Lechter.
So, yeah, got it together. . .ish. No front wheel mudguard, no cargo box, not sure if the front wheel is too tight. Instructions said "adjust to torque levels as detailed in this manual". You guessed it, no such information is anywhere in the book. Not that I have a torque wrench to check with anyway. Will charge it up tonight. It SHOULD be running tomorrow.
Update: Adjusted the front wheel and turned the little bugger on. Got it up to 30 in the parking lot. I have gone from frustrated to pretty impressed. Lugged the battery inside to charge, it weighs at least 30 pounds. Looks like I'm deiving to work tomorrow.
