According to all the Kingsong user manuals I've read, nobody over 50 should be riding its EUCs. I mean, if Kingsong's EUCs turn to crap for anyone > 50 then, as a 58 year old, I do not want one of those.

Hey Jerry, this is Gary from OKC. Not sure how your fix is supposed to work. Is the bearing sliding on the axle shaft on the right hand side? Are you securing the bearing by affixing it to the outer hub cover using Loctite? Loctite in lieu of spacers? Very interested in this fix. Thanks for posting.
Turned out it wasn't sliding on the shaft. It was spinning in the hub instead. This will turn a slip fit into a press fit for the sleeve. Another way is to make a spacer to go in the hub between it and the outer race of the bearing to take up any slack.
I linked a few time stamps where you can hear it knocking. ruclips.net/video/DYAGoI6CLHk/видео.htmlsi=PQuNejTvH5JEv8ah&t=524 ruclips.net/video/DYAGoI6CLHk/видео.htmlsi=jV0PcYfo4KgfKRVl&t=1100 ruclips.net/video/DYAGoI6CLHk/видео.htmlsi=1qb5y_tjZKU257eb&t=1145

Hey Jerry loving the videos man! I’ve been patiently waiting for your Lynx update as I’ve been having the exact same problem also:( Have they been able to confirm exactly what the issue is 100%? I was almost wondering if it’s possibly the fender jostling about maybe? Idk..Anyways hope you get it back soon!
Nice work but very dissappinting you had to fix this using Permatex Bearing Retaining Compund. The bearing should be a press fit into the wheel cover and onto the axle shaft. But a better option than making up a thin aluminum shim spacer, they almost never work..as they work loose over time and make it very hard to press the bearing in place without buggering up the shim.
Yeah, I realized later that I should've done it to both sides while I had the wheel apart too. I'm going to leave it be, unless it starts making noise again. Thanks!
Update: I ended up sending this back to ewheels, so they could add the spacers behind the bearings.
Great company to buy from.
I'm gonna have to send mine back too. Man I love riding this wheel.
Great video, thanks for this
i still get a kick out of how many of us older riders there are on euc's
Me too.

58 and 3 months in! Loving it! 💪
My Lynx made that noise also, I just kept riding it and it's gone. Haven't heard it again in over 300 miles. Crunchy power button went away also.

Well I bet e-wheels ended up putting a new hub and bearing after that locktite job.
Did you get the knocking only while riding or did it happen if you spun the wheel by hand too?
I currently have a knocking while riding only.
Only while riding. Mainly on turns, and breaking.
I could get a faint hint of it pushing it across the floor.
I could also feel it in my feet.
Did you have a video of the symptoms of the issue?

Would have been nice to hear what the knocking sounds like.

@@oueuc2 perfect. I have this exact same issue.
@matthewearl9824 they'll need the spacers, just doing what I did here was not enough.
@@oueuc2 Trent just fixed my wheel. it is perfect now.
Its nice to see how batch 1 and newer batches progress. You cant plan everything.

So what is different 2nd+ batch?
edit: found the reddit thread where you answer, thanks
They've added a spacer on the shaft before pressing on the bearing to take up the slack.
