Oh my God! THANK YOU.y daughters e-bike just got a flat on the rear tire. I’ve been watching videos all day, this is by far the best one. Also THANK YOU to the Camera Operator, excellent cinematography.
Yep true❤
Thanks for demonstrating this. I am looking into going on a group ride that requires everyone to carry a tire repair kit . . . I can’t imagine doing this while 50 people wait for me, but at least now I know how it’s done!
So true, I imagined a flat tire on my Aventure would involve a free bike sign taped to it and an Uber. 😂 tonight I walked my bike home three miles with a mystery flat on front. I have Tannus inserts and slime nothing on tread. Tannus says you can ride at 5mph on flat yeah BS. Watching this video I’m all in.
@@ThanksForTheLaughdid you use the walk setting?
@@MarkSmith-js2pu No, on my bike the walking setting is actually a jog setting. Turned out to be a torn tube where valve stem goes in. Must have happened when bike shop installed Tannus inserts
I'll be your Uber if I can have the bike and not charge for the ride 🤔😯🤫🧐😉😎🇺🇲💚🙏🏼✌️
Super Helpful! I have a Hyper E-Bike and 56 page manual fails to address how to detach power. I'd be stuck without your video and probably shelling out cash and waiting weeks for bike shop to do this simple repair. Thank you!!!
Thanks! your instructions were so wonderful even a 60 year old grandma could do it. I feel so empowered!
Fantastic, I already hate changing regular bike tubes, now I'll have a dozen more steps to screw up and several new tools to carry when I'm in the middle of nowhere
I'm with you man 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 just remember not to forget the spare tube or the pump 🙄🤣🤣🤣, pain in the ass if you have all the tools but you don't have the tube or a pump 🤣🤣🤣
thank you! I used this video as a guide, and successfully changed the inner tube of my rear wheel!
FYI,the best bike inner tube I've ever seen is a Fenix thorn-resistant,they're MUCH thicker than regular or even "heavy-duty" inner tubes. they're worth the extra cost.
This video should be the first displayed in search result.Thank you for the help!
Biking is new to me and is now my only form of transportation and I just got my electric bike. I can’t even thank you enough for that help. It would take me an hour in over hundred degree heat to get to work without my bike and I was definitely stressed. 😅 thanks so much for making it understandable.
@@jadegilpatrick4802 bicycles are the best transportation on the planet ! Tell everyone you meet
Thank you SO MUCH! Got my first flat on my Aventon Level2 and I changed it by myself using your video. I used another video for the actual tire changing part. So grateful!!
Great video thank you, very helpful for a first time e-bike owner
Thanks for showing us that. My electric bike rear tyre needs changing , but I didn't realise you could unplug the cable. Now I can do it. Again, thanks.
And just like that, anxiety is gone. Appreciated.
Thank you! I bought a spare tire for my ebike because I'd already had to deal with a flat on my regular and wanted to be prepared. But when I was sitting there looking at everything I realized that I had NO CLUE how to take the wheel off. You made it so simple I was able to have everything all done in a fraction of the time I expected it to take!
Great video, encouraged me to avoid the shop which would not even take a rear wheel bike on board anyway. Bit tricky getting the axels back in - not even sure they are in properly but will not go further, and is a bit nerve wracking after spending a pile of cash on an bike, but seems to have worked. Good old Bumstead!
I appreciate your video. I had a flat and was totally unprepared. I removed the tire and tube from rim and patched it up. I could not do that if do that if the tire needs to be replaced. Thank you. I will practice removing my tire.
Thank you thank you thank you!!! Less than a month into my very first e-bike and my first flat was the back… in a heat wave, in the south. As bicycle are my only form of transportation in the rural area, your video saved me so much extra struggle and made this repair far less intimidating!!
Thank you for this. I'm going to try this on my bike. I was afraid of getting a rear tire puncture because I had no idea of how to get the wheel off; now I know. I must make sure I carry the proper size wrench.
Wow this was extremely helpful I'm working on it myself now. Thank you
I found it very easy with your demonstration! I thought I had to take my ebike to someone who knows about e-bikes.
Since I have chronic lower back pain, I would have to use a chair.
Thank you again 👍 now I just have to rewatch it again just to make sure ❤️
I had very bad lower back pain and in my calves; I could hardly walk when I moved to this house. Fancy special arches helped only a little. One day I found out, after having gone up and down these steep, tall basement stairs for a while, that the inserts were making my feet hurt so I took them out of my shoes. I don't need them anymore, also, walking barefoot feels wonderful! Even if it's the only exercise I do, I'm strengthening the muscles in my back.
Maybe a stair-stepper would help you?😶🌫️
Thank you for taking the time to show us how to change a rear hub drive flat. I think, for me, it would be a good Idea to take the wheel off a few times to get the hang of it.
I was catching hell trying to get my back rim off my ebike and your video helped me tremendously. Thanks a lot now I ride with new tires thanks to you.
Thank you for showing me how to take this thing off. I honestly wouldn't have thought about the derailer to do it like that. Saved me a lot of time and a headache!
Thanks for the slow, simple explanation. Mechanical breaks always make me anxious and now I have the wheel off to get fixed! stupid nail!!
I really enjoyed how you took time to focus on and explain each step and some of the troubleshooting. I appreciate you posting this video. I have subscribed and I look forward to more.
Thank you I was worried about the wire part . I didn't know I could plug it out lol 😂😂😂 thank you so much tyre done I'm on the roaddd 🎉🎉🎉🎉😢😮😅😅😢
Great detail and video. Yes, Aventon does have that special washer that has to be in position before the wheel axle will drop into the frame. The derailer looks more intimidating and complex than it appears. I found it was actually the easy part. Thank you so much for the advice.
Thanks so much, I'm not good at fixing anything but you made it simple and loved the boxes that helped me. Is
Just got a flat on my lvl 2 aventon yesterday, this was the answer. I appreciate this video to the fullest for making a difficult situation manageable, thank you!
Thank you! I was able to change the rear tire with your help on an electric bike! I did it as I would on a regular bike until I got to putting those washers on I made a mistake by putting them on the outside instead of the inside of the axel Thank you very much!!
Helpful, thanks. Wasn't sure about flipping the bike over and the handle bar controls 🙏
This video was OUTSTANDING! So much better than other videos.
Very nice detailed video. I just had a flat on the rear wheel of my Velotric D2. Would not have been able to repair the tube without your help. Thanks!
This was terrific. Thanks for the video it made my difficult day an easier night
Great detail. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Easier than I thought! In just need the tools and exact tire tube required, thanks!
The washers and their exact placement are critical to keeping your rear tire aligned and not rubbing the frame - if they're lost or forgotten about which order they go you're in for a bad time.
Yea for you! First I spent an hour removing and patching tube, then two hours trying to put the wheel back on without much luck. The "slotted washers" were the problem. Thanks so much for that bit of detailed information. Just one other thing - had a terrible time getting those slotted washers to line up until I put a small wrence on the axle and turned it a bit while lining up to the dropouts. I'm an old geezer and should have learned by now to read the instructions (watch RUclips vids) FIRST. 🙂
I still have to remember to have the 10mm wrench in my hand when installing ! It does help
Absolutely brilliant tutorial, gotta do mine and didn’t have the first arse clue how to do it! Many thanks 👍
Thanks you! that was very well done - my new e-bike is the same as in the video even the same color. Out for a ride this morning / 30 miles made it home. came out to the garage to fined a rear flat. So the video is spot on, 😊thanks again .
Thank you so much, this was awesome and simple!! 🎉
Thank you - your video took the fear out of this for me, and your comments about the derailleur made me laugh, because I'd been thinking exactly that...OMG what's going to happen to the derailleur lol. thank you!
failing a ziptie use a bit of plastic insulation tape, excellent, thankyou
Thank you very much. The job looked formidable but you made it seem possible. Great work
I'm almost 66, my co-worker will do it for me, he's a mechanic. I'm not. I just want to ride my fat tire bike. I pay him cash to do it for me. Or I'm taking it to my bike shop. Yes, I've done it myself. Pain in the rear job, and aligning the tire. Without a bike stand it blows.
Awesome video! I no longer fear taking the tire off on my Aventon!
Great instructions but I'm worried about putting the tire back on and getting everything lined up in order for it to slip back in. Wish me luck and thank you.
Good luck 🍀 you can do it just take your time
This is a great video!!! Thank you so much for creating it! I’m not a bike pro and normally I would have had someone else do this for me, but your video gave me the confidence to do it myself and I DID IT!!! TY!!!
to fix a flat while on the road,you need the tools,a patch kit with tire levers,and an inflator. Tire Pump or CO2 inflator. a spare good tube is handy,if you can't find the puncture.
I missed the part about how to remove a rear wheel that has no connector. Can a connector be installed? hopefully DIY?
and don't forget to check the inside of the tire before putting a patched or good tube inside it,make sure there's no nail,screw or wire bit remaining to repuncture your tube.(it's happened to me...)
and having a small pliers to pull out a tiny wire bit really helps.
Thanks for taking my anxiety away. Also found out my bike is a POS lol they crammed that fat wheel in there and it was so tough getting it back in without warping my disc break. Soon as I popped wheel out it shot my disc straight to the frame 😅
@@dead_man_sleez we deal with this problem all the time at the shop changing flats on every brand , some are horrible to work on !
@@BumsteadsBicycles that's terrible. Cheers
This was extremely helpful!
Good teaching.👍 I have to remove the rear wheel on my Panama Jack to tighten the bumper screws. You made me feel like I can do it. Bravo! Praise God!👏😶🌫️
Great video! Thank you
Just a tip if you run into the same problem I ran into:
If the tire is not lifting out easily and it looks like the frame is still holding it in place near where the nuts were removed, remove the bolts connecting the rear rack to the frame. For some reason some bikes have a mechanism that will hold the tire in place even after the nuts are removed, so you must remove extra bolts and flex the frame slightly.
(Found this issue on the Emmo Ewild)
Thanks for the video.. the bike I have now has a plug like your demonstrating.. the one I had before that I couldn't figure out how to detach the cable.. so I had to do it on the bike like you said.. thanks again man..
Thank you! This was very helpful with me trying to replace my brakes!
Great, thank you, so so good
I like your video. You make it look relatively painless. It has encouraged me to try to fix my tire myself. If I mess up my bike, I'm coming back to unlike the video!😅
I noticed you placed the brake rotor on the chain. It is easy to contaminate the brake pads with oil from the chain. If this happens, the brakes can squeel and not work as good
I’m not so quick to learn but I am a good slow learner lol
This video helps a lot
Thank you!
This video was very fitting for just got a Level2 (slightly different model - the step through variety) and managed to get a flat riding less than 50 miles 😕. Thanks to the author of this video for the info. for the owners manual offers no information how to do this 🤨.
GREAT info.thanks
Closed my bike shop before buying an Ebike so have changed a few tires but this would not have been a good experience if I had not seen this video first. THANKS
Thank you so much for the video I had no idea how to do this.. I was actually scared at first I was like I don't know what to do🙄🤣🤣🤣
This was such a great help - thanks for posting.
Today I changed rear tire on a Ridstar q20. It was easy. The tires come off and on the rim very easy. I had a tire that must have been leaking from the seam over 36hrs.
In the tire I installed a double layer of cheap Amazon tire puncture film.
BTW, if the bike sits on its back for 4 weeks like mine did, the brakes may not work unless ya pump them, a lot. Be cautious.
And the cheap liners ($20) did not self-adhesive like I presumed they did. I had to use double-sided tape to hold them in place. I think any kind of fast drying rubber glue would also work.
The distance between the frame and the wheel is sufficient enough for an on-bike puncture repair, it depends on the size of the wheel, but is a lot more rapid.
Thank You.needed this good job.Sir😂
Great video.
Thanks so much for this video! Got my first flat on the aventon and looked at my tire like "welp..." and the repair shop near me doesn't do ebikes! 😂 Thabks again
very helpful
Dude, you ROCK!!! Got me out of a jam! Thanx!!!
great video
Would have liked to see the washer direction on camera at the end
Thank you so much! simple and practical. Bravo ❤
Very helpful. Thank you for the information.
Thank you , short and right to the point .
Thanks for this very helpful video
Excellent thanks for explaining passively, with explanations!!
Very helpful thank you
Perfect answer w/ a homieTouch
TY! Really helpful.
Great video. It's a huge help. Thanks for making it.
Bless you..
Ingesting, but I just watched a tech show how to patch a rear tube puncture while leaving the wheel on the bike in a real world scenario with literally just a handful of tools. 😊
That is an option. Patching does take some patients and practice
I have to run sealant, as I live in the desert, lots of goat head stickers. And liners, until I get street tires. 😮
Thank you!!!
Great video! What size wrench did you use?
On this bike it is an 18mm. Some use a 19mm
I watched another video and it was brought up about the hydrolic brakes when turning the bike upside down you could have spongy or no brakes at all, just saying!
😁Yes, super helpful 🙏
If you can see the tyre penetration point from the outside,then there is no need to remove the wheel,just flip off the tyre and pull out the innertube and repair!
My NIU BQI C3 Pro is different enough that I would like to see a video specific to that bike. It has a gearless rubber belt drive and other differences.
It can’t be this easy there’s no way. Everytime a repair video on a car looks this easy it’s a nightmare. Might be different since it’s just a bike but we’ll see.
Good luck 🍀
@@BumsteadsBicycles thank you, youre video helps me have less anxiety about it, thank you
Thanks, Lloyd great video.
I have a Aventon Level 2. I was thinking about changing the tires on the bike, I have 27.5 2.1. I would like to put 27.5 2.5. With some more of a aggressive tires,will that fit on the bike? If it will do I need to change the tubes? Thanks.
I haven’t tried that big of a tire, it might fit if you remove the fenders.
@@BumsteadsBicycles thanks for the info. Take care.
After I put the wheel back on I am hearing a clicking or scraping sound that was not there before and it doesn't seem like the wheel is moving as easily. Did I do something wrong? The bike works but it seems a little more sluggish now for some reason. Like the rear wheel is not moving as freely. Everything seems to be installed properly. Is it possible to tighten the wheel too much? Any ideas? Thanks.
@@jeffreydavid6794 the most common reason is that the brake rotor is rubbing on the pads. There are 2 5mm Allen screws that can be loosened and the caliper moved slightly so that the brake pads are centered around the disc. I sometimes have to use a flashlight to get a better look
@BumsteadsBicycles Did me removing the wheel cause this? Or was it an existing issue?
I Cannot get the power plug to disconnect. Do you have unscrew instead?
Some bikes do have to be unscrewed, look for silver rings that turn. If there aren’t metal rings the plug is just very tight
I want to learn how to remove the inner tube because the tire stuck to the rim
I will do a video on removing the tire and tube next. Sometimes they can be difficult
Hey.. Would you know why my motor connection keeps coming loose when I press the throttle after changing tire I'm having a motor fail issue and it snaps off whenever I do that 🤔🤔??
I have a gyroor c3
Thank you. On my Level 2. Reinstall the rear wheel. No rubbing on disk rotor or brakes. Seems to roll ok. Test ride. Could barely pedal bike without assist. Felt like it was dragging. Reviewed all washers put in place with pictures I took. Took bike to LBS. Told the hub needed adjustment. Now rides like it did. LBS wouldn't tell me what a hub adjustment is. What is a hub adjustment? I did notice when wheel was off. Inner nut on axel was loose and told to never touch it.
There is a nut on the disc side that could have been over tightened but vary rare on this hub. Sorry they wouldn’t explain what they found needing to adjust, it would have been useful for the next time you have to remove the wheel.
@@BumsteadsBicycles Thank you. Your videos are very helpful.
Hey they was helpful
