- Taking out my Fat Bear Cub scooter for a ride. Disconnected the speed governed halfway through and WOW was it a blast to ride! Still need to figure out the clicking from the rear hub when I turn left.

I built my ebike from a Schwinn a few months ago. I've learned a lot since building it. I noticed your Fat Bear seems to bounce up and down a lot. For folks new to the world of ebikes. Here's what's most important. 1. Motor.. Most folks after getting used to the ride want more speed. Stick with a minimum 750 watt and up motor. 2. BATTERY!! Remember, the more Amp Hours the longer the ride it doesn't mean you go faster. I'd say stick with a minimum 20 Amp hour battery. 3. Voltage. Forget anything under 48 volts as they become too weak. 4. Tires, fat tires are great for off roading but lousy for streets. Finally, as a motorcycle rider too, the bigger the tires, the better the ride. They are a lot of fun.
Volts = speed, Ah=range
I LOVED MINE, ENJOY YOURS, CHEERS!
What does the seat feel like on the Cub model? Is it comfortable? Most of their seats look kinda small in the pics on their website.
HOLY SHHHHHHHMAUZER!
If you need a new back engine how do you order another one
I know the speedometer on the fat bear is not accurate have you checked to see how fast it really goes when you un clip that harnes using a app on your phone to get a proper speed reading ?
My handlebars would go on do u have a trick to it??
do you need to have this tagged and registered to ride on the streets?
Hey there I just received my fat scout (After three months of waiting). Had a terrible experience with getting any kind of updates or communication from the company. After having only three days I’ve already gotten a flat rear tire. Calling around local bike shops nobody will touch it so I feel like I’m kind of hosed. Do you have any information on where to get like any replacement parts or service? I’m in the Pacific Northwest. Thanks.
There are better brand companies ( like by PHAT SCOOTERS or SCOOTERSON).
These are not as bad as you think, just not as quality in other parts of the product.
Oh that’s a bummer. I haven’t tried researching replacement tires, but let us know if you find out!
Alibaba has fat tires like 50 bucks
@@CrstnJdiKnight LOL, Scooterson doesn't even have a product released. Stop shilling companies that you haven't tried.
@@-CrampedStyle- Umm , yeah I did but had to get rid of it. Thank you very much. :-)
But Phat Scooters has it going on and has most of it's ducks in a row. ^_^
Anyone else’s battery not fully charge for some reason even tho you charged it all night?
What is the top speed after you disconnect that? I’m thinking about getting one, is it still worth it for you?
I think this fat tires scooter the top speed on full send mode was 50km/h or lower than 47km/h
30 mp/n
Yeah about 30mph. Still a blast and I love it.
what was the clicking noise as you turn?
I was gonna ask the same thing...I kept where a clicking noise and the Bike bounces up and down a lot.
@@Arnell_Long maybe a bearing acting up🤷
@@double-oh7200 He responded to another guy about the issue so here is what he said in quote...
"I figured it out. One of the bolts holding the rear fender was rubbing up on the tire! Each side of the fender has 3 bolts, so I just took that one out and that took care of it!"
@@Arnell_Long ahhhh ok ok
What was that cuh-thunk cuh-thunk noise it kept making?
Something is grinding while turning left; need to figure out what’s causing it.

@@adithyakaushik5611 how is the scooter holding up? I want to get one 😬
@@adithyakaushik5611 this happened to me I went through two tires even bought another one bc I couldn’t fix it
@@stephaniemcnamara1939 how is your scooter holding up
What did you unplug and where is it at and how fast does it make it go?
There is a little harness that goes from the bars down the front fork that has a clip inline that I removed. Goes up to 30MPH I believe, but the speedo doesn’t go that high.
lot of rattling noises ...but surely they can be fixed
Wow! I have a different model from that company. I need to try the same thing as well and disconnect the speed controller. ^_=
Thank you for posting this ride . 😎
Hard figuring it out with no manual LOL
How do you do the speedometer thing the cable unplug it
@@musiclist9605 it's on the lower left on the handlebars and between the speedometer,. connector is pulled apart using medium force. Hope that helps.
@@CrstnJdiKnight yes it did thank you very much
@@musiclist9605 🤠😇
How do I start mine up ??
I had the same issue. They don’t tell you how long to press the key.
You’ve probably already figured this out, but on the key fob, you hit the lightning button
Umm, yeah, the manual that came with it is very minimal at best for figuring it out. 😅
Can they go uphill or downhill well?
@@cartooncottage2024 yes, actually does quite well with the 2000wt motor . Won't get max speed but does get up a good 20°25 degree incline and more if it's already going at moderate speed
CrstJedi, what model do you have? Is the seat comfortable? Any maintenance issues so far?
@@mattr.1887 fat cub one. .
It's comfortable enough but after 30 minutes or longer it does make you a little sore to make yourself want to stand up and ride.
The place inside where the handlebar shaft and the lower fork shaft meet will need something some reinforcement. It's at the place where it moves, about halfway down past the headlight.
I hope helps you.
CrstnJedi, that helps a lot. I may get the Scout model, as that seat looks bigger. But I'll think about it some more first. Thanks so much man, I really do appreciate it.
