I think I would prefer a longer spring, with a softer rate, that would need a spring compressor to get installed. This is how Cadillac suspension is. Ultimately I think there’s too much unsprung weight with hub drive. The ratio (sprung/unsprung) is off the chart. As much as I dislike mid-drive it seems better for a decent ride. Excellent video 👏👏
You seem to know a lot more than I do about those kinds of things, thank you very much for your information! Hope you can come back to enjoy some more content and educate us all some more
Are you in the NYC area. So here is my thing, I live and ride around the city. I am a pretty big guy. The only issue that I am having is that the rear suspension is squeaking every time i hit small bumps. Sort of like a bed rocking squeak. So I am not sure how I should adjust them to reduce squeak. I am assuming it has to do with the rebound being shorter. However, wouldn’t me making the suspension stiffer be a problem if I don’t let it breathe and being a bigger guy, causing the suspension to damage. Any suggestions you have would help. Thanks!
Im not 100% certain that the squeaking is a sign of any damage. If you are heavier then you should definitely tighten it up so you dont bottom out the suspension very much which will definitely cause more wear rather than having them too tight. If it doesnt stop squeaking then take it to a bike shop for a full cleaning of the shocks.
You are confusing sag with compression damping. Sag is set with prelpad and it determines where in its travel the suspension sits. Compression damping determi es the speed of compression and rebound is how fast it returns to its position after a hit.
Thanks for watching homie! I hope both you and your bike stay in one piece for a long time to come! Those are Doc Martin's! Such great boots! They run large but are the best boots for functionality, durability AND looks!
Mike196 wow, not bad man, 30plus miles is good, I get 20miles plus and bike is not that heavy including me it weighs just just under 250 pounds...I use 17.5ah high power 52v pack...
I wish I had an answer for you, but it does have a good amount of movement. Ill be trying to get better angles of me riding so you can see the travel in action
@@thisissewious964 Shes holding up very well and has been a real life changing experience! I hope yours arrives in good condition and lasts for many miles. Thanks for watching! More RX videos on the way

Thanks for giving a good tutorial on the suspension!! gives a good all around understanding :D
Thanks for watching and subscribing man! I appreciate the comment!
Awesome video my S3 brother appreciate you I learned something new ❤
Nice vid bro. I recently received my S73 R and was wondering how to adjust the suspension. The bike is so smooth and fast!
Ride safe man!💪

Thanks for this clarification!!
Awesome video! Very informative. I put about 130 miles on my rhino grey RX. What kind of boots are those btw? I need a pair lol

@@Mike196 thanks! Happy riding fellow RX friend! I have to pick those boots up now! Cheers!
so can give a number on how many miles u would get on highest setting throttle only on a full charge???
Mine says about 37 miles
Same as Jason, I get about 35 good miles on hardly any pedaling at all. In reality you'll want to pedal just to get going a bit faster

What kind of helmet is that?
Thank you!
This is the TSG pass helmet!
How much travel does the rear axle get?
I wish I had an answer for you, but it does have a good amount of movement. Ill be trying to get better angles of me riding so you can see the travel in action
No issues with your hub motor?
SHHHHH!!! dont say that so loud man!!! The motor might hear you :(
315 miles so far!
@@Mike196 nice ordered the same exact bike and was curious how everyones ride was holding up.
