The stupidest bike I’ve ever wrenched
So you bought a RadPower Radmission ebike, huh? Pleasant little bike you got on clearance for barely more than the cost of the battery? Great!
Oh, you have to change the rear tube? Not so great.
First, we start by removing the nuts holding the wheel on. So we grab our trusty bike wrench that fits almost all screw-type skewers and… oh.
This one takes a 19mm wrench. No worries, you have one of those, right? Oh.
This also requires a size 4 allen wrench because the the rear rack is attached to the skewer for some reason. No matter, you have one of those, too. So now we remove the wheel… oh.
Did you remember the blade to cut the zip tie that keeps the power cable in place? You didn’t?
This is all BEFORE you try to put it back on and realize it’s nearly impossible to get the wheel aligned the same way as before so your brakes rub and you need a new zip tie to keep the power cable to the rear wheel motor from getting caught in the spokes.
This bike is truly a lesson on what NOT to do when building a bike. But my wife loves it, so…
