Bikes: genesis 20' folder, giant 27.5 atx ebike

more about genesis 20' folder

more pics...

the image with a close up on the hinge are the ones that i would like to give a heads up for genesis owner. the lock ring is not permanent and will possibly pops out during a long period of folding and unfolding. what i did is soldering it from the outside to permanently hold it, only from the outside portion so that the spring will still function. that way the lock ring will not pop out from the bolt. also the bolt from the handlepost, make sure you protect the base that holds it. any small dent will deformed the base and stop the bolt from moving and you can't close the handlepost anymore. the image with the trolley bag cover is good only for bus travel and i wrapped it with a car sun visor to protect it. if you look closely on the image that the bike was folded with the tire facing front, you can see a plastic that covers the nut. that plastic is from the first time you unbox the bike, save it and it will serve as a clickfix like the one from dahon. it's just to cover the metal nut that scratches your handlebar or fork when you fold it.

hope this could help.

2 speed front coming up this week!
