Fixed rear puncture "great" Why does rear tyre bead break and tube blowouts
Make sure your rim is clean and there isn’t any obstruction that prevents a brad from holding. I use some dish soap around the rim of the tire when I pump it up with air. The dish soap will dissipate. Thanks for watching!
This is great. I just recieved mine today snd this was helpful.
Surely making a tire wit more armour in it to deflect a staple or a bit of glass wud make more sense
Also if u have a slide out block battery behind the seat remove before doing any of this
You can never over maintain your running gear, especially tires and lubrication.
A very clear and concise video. Thank you!
Noooooooooooooo
Do you still need a tri pod for king pin box
Yikes, our RV is gong on it's 5th year now and we've never greased anything lol
He’s making a list, he’s checking it twice... he’s gonna find out who’s naughty or nice! If Santa used the Ten Commandments for his standard, how would you do? Let's find out... Have you ever lied? Have you ever stolen anything? (No matter the value.) Ever used God's name in vain? Ever hated anybody? The Bible says “Whoever hates his brother is a murderer” If you are guilty of these things, it shows that in your heart, you are a lying, thieving, blasphemous, murderer-at-heart. Many people don't know that God will use the Ten Commandments to judge the world. Forget about Santa for a moment... how will you do on Judgment Day? If you are found guilty, that means an eternity in Hell... However, there’s GOOD NEWS! God made a way for sinners to be forgiven without violating justice. He took on flesh in the person of Jesus Christ. He lived the sinless life we couldn’t, and then offered Himself on the cross as a sacrifice for sin. Jesus took the wrath of the Father, then rose from the dead… showing the penalty fully paid! God commands you to repent and put your faith in Jesus alone for salvation. Cry out to God, confessing and forsaking your sins. Trust in what Jesus did for salvation, not in your own deeds. God promises eternal life and a new heart that will desire righteousness. Read your Bible daily and obey what you read.
Jesus is coming soon be ready
I tried that slime sealant and it didn’t set, the slime just squirts out of the puncture once I pump it up it’s been five days and the slime has not worked. I do have a slime inner tube to go on though hope that’s better
Will advanced setting 08 allow me to up the 14mph max on the XP trike?
That I do not know how that setting works on the trike. Sorry. All I can suggest is try it, if it has no effect, then return it to it original setting. Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for sharing this video. My wife and i were there this evening to listen to the story for the 9 PM show, however, there was a live band playing behind us and we could not hear the story. So I decided to do a search on RUclips to see if someone had recorded it and thus, I found your video. We were able to enjoy your video and hear the story. You did a great job getting a magnificent closeup of the characters. Thank you again so much for recording and sharing your video. Much appreciated.
Can the musical score!
I'm about to do this for the first time. Recycling the old tube as double protection is a great tip. Thanks!
I cycled through a local woods after they had cut loads of briars from the cycle path I repaired 5 holes in the back tyre and next day it was still flat. I was able to slip the tube out without disconnecting the (shrink wrapped) electrical connection to the back hub motor. I put slime into the new tube and the front tyre and hopefully I won't be repairing any flats for a while!
Is this for real? Why would they ship the product preassembled like this? Oh i see its to force you to learn how to release all the tabs. This is exactly what I need. I looked at getting a window shade for my window and I Realized that the nice thin shade pull-down blind requires the lippert window. Thank you for sharing the installation secrets
You are supposed to go online and order what you want on your bike before you get it! I ordered the comfort seat, step through type😊, and the hydrolic brakes pre installed. I got everything I wanted for the 3.0, plus the long-range battery and accessories!
Will a 3 inch extension work for oil
I nave this system on 3 different trailers for a total of 10 sets of bearings and I have never had one apart yet. I grease them once a year with Lucas red grease while rotating them. I always check the temp on my hubs when traveling and have never had one even get warm, I have owned the two wheeled snowmobile trailer for 12 years now doesn't get many miles but to say this system is worthless is wrong, what other reason was there for having this system if it's not used ? There are probably many assemblies that are damaged by incorrect reassembly and poor bearing packing by novices and then there are the horror stories of taking it to a dealer for a re-pack and all they do is check for end play , rotate it for noise wipe it off and call it good. I guess if something is working for you than stick with it huh ?
You dont know how lucky u are. I was missing one of my torque washers. I left off that guard. Never liked it. But when I dropped my wheel down it aked a 1/4 inch of fitting snug. I wailed on that thing with my 21oz carpenter hammer. I started at 8 am. I would get the brake side in, then the other side was off. This went all morning. Finallly I was about to give up and drive up to Richmond and swallow my pride. Im 73 wgat thehell. Well I got it all tgether. Its raining and Im glad. I m kind of afraid. Thepeople at lectric were NO GD HLP at all. They said take a pic of what you have and we will see about getting u the missing paarts. THEY SENT ME A MESSAGE....Go to a bike shop. Thanx a lot. I was one of the first people to believe in these people. I have a Version #1.0. It had been flat free for sevveral yrs. I got lucky on front. BTW My inner tube, had a patch on it! Imagine that. Lectric was so cheap they sold mr a used innertube. Im gonna buy another Ebike and ley my son have this. Guess who I wont buy from. Duhh
If I’m taking the wheel off, I’m replacing the tube completely. I’ll use patches for trailside emergencies to get me back to the car
Does it look like your leaf springs are flat? I also have 4 leaf and they look the same. Thinking about replacing them and going with more leafs.
I just got this system a couple of days ago. Fortunately, the travel trailer I bought was already prepped for it. Yes, it is an expensive system, but the more "eyes" the better. PS. That was a really good idea to pair the rear camera before you installed it. Thank you!
I like pulling my wheels then inspect the bearings as well as the brakes every fall. Not to mention repack and replace if the bearing shows wear. Or dry bearings making sure there is grease.
It’s always a great idea to perform an inspection at least annually. That way you can see the state they are in and won’t be surprised when you’re on the road where it’s least convenient. Thanks for watching!
I had a rapid leak. It was flat within a minute of filling it. I removed the valve stem and put 8 oz Flat Out in tube, filled it with air and it has held without losing pressure for over a month so far.
Hey Dan, I did my wheel bearings the other day. We are getting ready to take a cross country trip in our RV in the next couple weeks. I couldn't believe how nasty the old grease was that I pumped out. It was almost like 40 weight oil coming out. Very thin. I'm glad I did this. I could see a wheel bearing going out on our trip if I hadn't pumped in new grease. I did this about 2 years ago and drove the RV perhaps 5,000 miles. Again, couldn't believe how thin the old grease was coming out. So far doing this, I have never blown out a rear seal. I take my time pumping the grease in and keep spinning the wheel! Thanks for the video, Dan!!!
I’m glad the video helped. I found it gave me peace of mind when I changed it. Good luck on your travels. Thanks for watching!

None of those tools are required ! 😁 Leave the tire on, remove the all the air, break the bead, pull the tube out at the puncture point, sand the puncture point, apply glue, waiting 1 min. then apply patch. Add air, all done.😊
True. That is another way, and easier way if it is a simple pin hole in the tube. Thanks for watching!
Looks like you have a Ram 3500. What do you set the brake gain at? I have mine at 2.5.
So if it's not available via retail, why the review?
I still find a bunch of these patio smokers online for sale. Was hoping they would gain popularity and bring back another model that is compact. Thanks for Watching!!!
I do mine that way but I don’t start rotation till I see all new grease coming out all around the bearings and wiped out all the old , then rotate for several more pumps , also Dexter and the manual says not to use a power or air actuated grease gun to much pressure,that will blow out the seal manually is ok ! Good video.
I make sure I squeeze the trigger slowly and not rush things but I like to rotate as soon as possible to distribute the grease as much as possible. Thanks for watching!
Tire on the the wheel first then the inner tube make sure to position the valve on the hole and then the nut if there is no nut that’s okay just make sure the valve is thru the valve hole first and then insert the rest of the tube at least that’s what I always do. Enjoy ur e-bike their fun riding
Thanks for that great tip and thanks for watching!!
Just Wrong on So many levels. The Chain was never wrapped around the cassette before he took a Hammer to the Axle, which is why the axle wasn't fully seated into the Dropouts. The correction Wasn't Shown ! It's obvious he'd not done this before which makes this a Gr8 lesson on haw NOT to change a Fat Bike Tire. Too many mistakes.
I don't understand kilometers I'm American and only know miles per hour like every patriotic American should.
We have the same rig and so your video was very helpful during our installment since as you pointed out the MorRyde video sure made it look much easier ;) I agree it's a great product to cut down on movement and overall easy to install and works as advertised! Thanks again!
ENYBODY wanna buy mine it's got a flat back tire you can play to the video with 😆
We have 2 e-bikes and had been riding them for the last 7 years. Flat Out tire sealant has worked 100% better for us than Slime. I used Slime for a few years and still got leaks. Never ever had a lead with Flat Out sealant. Nice work on changed the rear tire. It's a real pain to pull the wheel off the rear. I just deflate, pull the tube out, fix or replace and back in business in under 20 minutes. Great video.
Thanks for that information. We definitely heard about Flat Out after we posted this video. Although we already used slime in our tires, we will try Flat Out from here on in. Thanks for watching!
It’s a nice experience to know how to change your own tube know how to use the tools and everything
@Laogai001 it can save time and money 💰. Thanks for watching!
Any one else cringing here?
As an Auto Mechanic, we use locktite with seal installation. This will keep it from blowing out.
Great tip! Thanks for watching.
That is a very good idea. Thank you for sharing your tip!
@garyp9906 thanks for watching!
Dexter recommends using this also.
What does the advanced settings do?
Dont do your bearing the lazy way, pull them apart, clean, inspect, grease and put back together. Check RUclips for Dexter Axle bearing video for the proper way to do it. If you pump in to much grease and bypass the rear seal you will contaminate the shoes and have no brakes.
So true. But that is the whole reason for the EZ Lube system, to make it easier for the non-mechanically inclined. Thanks for watching!
Why set wheel size to 22 when your tires are 20 inch. I think your stats would not be correct.
You’ll need to change it if you put on a different tire size on. Thanks for watching!
what no show of meat going in or out ?? Your video sucks
Great video
Thanks for watching!
Is there a reason why my throttle don't have any power?
I’m not sure. Has it always been like that since you got it?
It's brand new.I took it for a spin and tried the throttle and nothing.
@Yooper915 hmmm. That doesn’t sound right. I only have an 2.0. Not sure what model you have but you may need to go to Lectric’s website and download the manual for your model. You’ll want to keep that for future use anyway. If it doesn’t explain something there, then call customer support and they are really helpful if you can describe what’s going on. Sorry I don’t have a good answer for you. Let us know if you or they were able to figure it out.
Thank you for taking the mystery out of changing the back tire. I really appreciate your help!!!
Of course the back tire is the hardest one to fix. I hope my future punctures are in the front if I do have to have one. Thanks for watching!!
I'm a 70 year old new XP 3.0 owner... I'll never grow up. Excellent "real time" video presentation. Great info and enjoyed your presentation style, Thanks so much for sharing your time and expertise... very helpful! My best.

At 30:08 the derailleur on the drive side was not put back on chain...then went to other side to put retaining nut on non-driveside axle... WHEN WAS THE CHAIN PUT BACK ON LOVE CASSETTE ? NEXT...he moves back to DRIVE side and the chain is back on the cassette... Mysteriously...then a minute later after he BEATS THE fastening nut with a HAMMER (never use a hammer on any bike part .or a screw driver on a tire needing removal.
