Thanks for the video I just purchased two of these e-bikes yesterday and still waiting for them to arrive preparing myself for the assembly by watching your video. Thanks again good video.
Thank you so much for this video!! I didn't know how I was going to put this bike together. But thanks to you I was able to put this bike together all by myself and I am so proud.
Great video. Thank you for taking the time to do it. Your video instructions helped us to make sure we assembled the bike correctly, since the provided instructions were extremely lacking.
I just to leave a comment of appreciation for making this video. I assembled the bike today successfully, thanks to you! Like many other commenters mentioned, you saved me tons of hours. Thank you very very much!
This video definitely helped (and hurt) me. Helped way more than hurt! I did the handlebars 5 times before I realized I had to tighten the 2 screws because in the video you said you were tightening the screws you “loosened earlier”. Also, my front tire mechanism does not have a lever lock, but, it seems to work! Couldn’t have put it together without you!
My front axel on my bike didn’t have a lever lock either. Wonder if they done away with that or something 🤔 . I searched and searched for that piece but never found it.
I would leave that tab on that you cut off for the reflector. It L’Accident place now it’s only depending on the screw tightness. Thanks for the video it got me through the assembly😀
Thank you for the video! I wasn’t able to get the front fender on with the reflector. I worked on that part for over an hour! I will get my son to help me with that part. Otherwise, everything is together.
I just got an ecotric Hammer bike yesterday. There are only two issues so far can you put the seat down? Because if they had a regular seatpost you could are those adjustable seats? When I hit the right brake it makes a funny noise I wonder what that is? It was quite difficult I ordered from u t z y. They just left it outside my door. I had no idea how big a hammer bike would be. It's more like a 125 dirt bike. I did it all with one leg. Then I took off and my handlebars weren't tight I'm the bottom part so I fell down got up went back to my garage and fix this truck off almost hit a car because I did not know how fast this bike is and it's really hard to turn like I used to on my regular GT bike. Did anybody notice how hard it is to turn not like you can turn on a dime? I'd say be really extremely careful the first time you ride one. I did not realize how fast it can go even 20 is fast on a bike to go when you take off that fast. So I almost hit a van but instead of going straight into it cuz I was making a right turn I went to somebody's yard and smashed my the rest of my leg the nub of course nobody helped me but I help myself I went home. And I thought oh no I can't even ride this thing but I got back on it and rode it 12 miles. I am 58 years old and that you're older like me my whole body hurt but my nub I know I broke it and that's the most fun I've had in years. I mean that bike will save my life because I don't want a freaking wheelchair would you? This gives me freedom to do what I want without a driver's license in New York they suck I didn't get a DWI since 1997 but I'm supposed to go to outpatient rehab when I don't even drink anymore. These people really suck in New York if they change these laws I'll move to another state just so I can ride my ebike. I have to get another seat post for the hammer bike because the hammer bike has some weird seatpost and I don't know if you can adjust it but I don't want to try and not be able to ride it to go to the place to get the part. I would say these are just as dangerous or more dangerous then riding a motorcycle. If I had kids I don't think I would ever buy them an electric bicycle because they probably would die. I hope they don't change the laws so I can not legally ride but I would ride anyway and I will tell them if I can ride a wheelchair how come I can't ride a bike? A wheelchair is so much more dangerous I can get an electric wheelchair as a matter of fact I just may get one so I can just go down the street shopping but when you sit in a wheelchair long enough you get holes in your pocket and you die like my friend did or you end up with a colostomy bag I don't want to be like that I want to be free this ecotric Hammer bike made me free!! It's the only bike I ever need to buy the rest of my life and I would sell them if I could and I would know everything about them by the time I do these are the wave of the future and it could save our our planet. Especially if you have a solar charger that is Affordable for the average consumer which they do not right now. As far as I could see you have to make your own. But if you're out camping in the woods or somewhere and you had a charger it would be amazing a solar charger. Or if you had some way to charge it while you're riding that would be even better but too heavy probably. I know I write a lot I don't have anybody to talk to I talk to myself most of the time it's a sad life with kids that don't even care
I assembled mine today using this video as a guide from time to time. It’s all together however the fork seems very stiff and not fluent kind of like it’s sticking and needs lubricant but you didn’t use any. On top of that no matter how tight I attach the fork to the frame it has a slight wiggle to it, very very small but I imagine it’s not supposed to and over time might cause damage. Any suggestions ? Update : returned the bike even with replacement parts bike doesn’t assemble properly
Love our bikes. Could NOT have assembled without this excellent guide! Only problem now is the right hand brake doesn't work--on either bike. Any help out there?
August 2023 I bought one, Ecotric Cheetah 20, used it for almost a month and returned it for full refund. It may be okay for paved roads use but it sucked on gravel roads and smal hills and low difficulty trails. I have 3 other ebikes, all under $1,150 delivered, and this was the worst, at $730 delivered. Brakes are mechanical/cable and are noisy and weak, and wore down fast. Battery rattled too much in its holder and would break connection, causing lag, to total loss, and also sometimes shutting the bike controller off. The light minimally bright for off-road use. I would get 16 miles on a full charge with 95% throttle (very little pedaling, just to get up hills it would not handle). Customer service was helpful enough and didn't argue about the issues. Provided return label and said full refund would be issued. I used it for 3.5 weeks and put 110 miles on it. I would not recommend it, and instead would go with the Ridstar 20ah battery fat tire for $1,100 delivered. I have bought two of these, after testing one for 2 months. Amazon. Happy trails!
Mine has instructions and they were not followed at all… the thick cable goes on the right side of the bike and the 2 smaller cables go on the left side… it is together though
I’m think just sending mines back after assembling the bike road for a few day the only issue is the headset is tight .I loosen the stem nut inside the headset for a bit took my bike to the bike shop they said the bearings are damage and no good for these types of bikes
I am thinking of getting this exact bike. But the thing holding me back is the set up part lmaoo. Is there any way to get it fully assembled? That's why I want to get that lectric xp. But it doesn't ship until July
Could not have done it without you. The assembly manual this bike comes with is for a totally different bike. I would recommend people to just pay the assembly fee. Not worth the hassle at all.
You guys need more hands lol. Thanks for making the video which will help us. Did they provide a good manual with instructions? My new ebike will arrive in couple days.
Anyone on the fence...get the bike. I'm 1100 miles in sing mid July of 2019. Built mine into a commuter. I ride it every single day. Built Luke a tank, good motor, good tires (the back tire barely has any wear on it). Only thing I have replace is the brake shoes and added a lit of aftermarket upgrades (if you are worried about racks and fenders) here you go. photos.app.goo.gl/rMJcaMaYbLh7ft2K8

Thank you for the video!! The instruction manual was so confusing but your video helped a lot!!!
Im telling u this guy deserves a medal or something, ive looked and looked for help putting my bike together, this guy rocks

The front fender extended brackets are not meant to be spread-out, like you did. They go INSIDE the fork! Then the Reflector bracket fits :)
Obviously you have not assembled this brand of bike. NW do the brackets go inside the fork.
I have this exact bike ;)
They are angled so that they fit outside the fork. Just assembled mine!
I would leave that tab on that you cut off for the reflector. It L’Accident place now it’s only depending on the screw tightness. Thanks for the video it got me through the assembly😀
I am only halfway thru this video and already happy it exists. Thanks for making sense out of a bike that arrived with no instructions. :)
Thank you for the video! I wasn’t able to get the front fender on with the reflector. I worked on that part for over an hour! I will get my son to help me with that part. Otherwise, everything is together.
Thanks for the video, I just ordered one in black and your video should make it a little easier to assemble when it arrives.
Thank you for your video! I bought a Starfish but assembling the handlebars was not included anywhere. You showed me just what I needed! Many thanks!
Just put mine together in the basement. Seems the front brake / caliper rubs. Did yours do that? Thanks, Rick
awesome! Thanks for making this video. It helped me put the bike together.

The part on installing the front tire saved my ass in the middle of the night.
This video saved me ... HOURS!! Thank you VERY much!!
Glad it helped ! Enjoy the bike
Great video , all the instructions were not in the box, thank you very much for this. Your the best .
yknotrc how do you adjust the brakes ?
Thanks so much for the instructions. I'm buying one today.
You are very welcome ,enjoy have fun
Well done and thank you! Your efforts remove the "fear factor".

sticking because steering stem bearings too tight. slight wiggle due to front axle.. make sure dust cap for stem is in place, both bottom and top

Great video
Thank you for the video! I just assembled mine
Thank you I was struggling with the bike
Reflector how do you adjust brakes I’m hearing a bit of rubbing any advise or video would help thank you
Thank you!
front Fender on backwards. long channel should be over tire and short channel should be behind steering yoke
Can u make a video of u riding it lol
Outstanding!
Mine has instructions and they were not followed at all… the thick cable goes on the right side of the bike and the 2 smaller cables go on the left side… it is together though
How are you so good at assembling This bike? You do it 1000 times or something? Thank you!
I’m think just sending mines back after assembling the bike road for a few day the only issue is the headset is tight .I loosen the stem nut inside the headset for a bit took my bike to the bike shop they said the bearings are damage and no good for these types of bikes
Thanks. good vid. Mine arrives next week.
I cant turn the key to the on position, I got it unlocked but when I tried to turn it to the on position it won't turn, please help
Looks like the moon car.
One question, I bought the same bike to assemble it, do you need grease and oil for the bearings or not?
Does the key have be on the on position to charge?
I am thinking of getting this exact bike. But the thing holding me back is the set up part lmaoo. Is there any way to get it fully assembled? That's why I want to get that lectric xp. But it doesn't ship until July
Thanks; wouldn't have gotten this thing together otherwise.
Could not have done it without you. The assembly manual this bike comes with is for a totally different bike. I would recommend people to just pay the assembly fee. Not worth the hassle at all.
Hey do you have any remedies for the charging cable is stuck in the battery 🔋 😕????
Awesome video!! Cute grandpa!!! Lol
You guys need more hands lol.
Thanks for making the video which will help us.
Did they provide a good manual with instructions? My new ebike will arrive in couple days.
What I do not like is having no rack and they tell you it is free but they bump up the price. $795.00 with free rack $819.00
What the name of the battery charger
Is that 36 or 48v
Does key have to be in to charge ?..should it be in ..on or off position ?
Month late but no, I charge mine without the key in.
That’s a 26 inch one like the one I got bro
My bike didn't come with any tools..just a plastic bag with a picture n it
My bag never mind
Are there any bearings on the fork tube to keep it centered or is it only the plastic cones ?
Paul Harding yes to your question.

@@daquan99999 it isn't the same, I have the 26 inch fat bike. I meant to say buy the bike you have. They make good bikes.
Uhgggg...assembly. Shit. I just ride ‘em I don’t like to work on ‘em
Why on Earth should I pay$700 -$800 for something and then I have to put it together without instruction. ,No thanks
2 much work
Lol 30 min u baby
