I wanted to buy this unique e-bike due to it’s small size and weight. It was a good Costco Find for $299. It was cheaper than importing one from China. I had bought other bicycles from Costco such as the NorthRock XC00 and some fast e-bikes from Amazon like the Vilano Atom folding e-bike and created reviews and mod for them on my channel.

I initially bought this bike at Costco be was not able to fit it in my car so i had to return it 15 minutes after i bought it. I came back today to find it was sold out, but they one that just appeared on their inventory. My guess was that it was my 15 minute unopened return.

Unboxing and assembling took less than 10 minutes as 90% of the folded e-bike was assembled. Just add the seat and peddles and tighten all the quick releases and bolts and you can ride. Tuning the brakes may be needed as the disc are not true and need adjustment. Wheels are one piece so no work is needed for them. I plan to make a tuning video to show viewers how to make adjustments before the first ride this weekend.

This bike is a 36 volt 6 amp hour battery running a 350 watt hub motor with 14 inch tires. The battery power with a range of about 15 miles and a max speed of 15.5 miles per hour. Charge time is about 4 hours for the 36v 6 AH battery. It has pedal assist mode unlike the previous Jetson Bolt without pedals. It comes with front and rear LED lights and reflectors.

Bicycle Disc Brake Rotor Truing /alignment by hand (Vilano Atom setup Part 3)

Quick dyi on aligning bicycle disc brakes by hand on my 2017 Vilano Atom( http://amzn.to/2fV0dX0 ) electric bike. The brakes needed to be trued so i wont scrap. *** BRAKES ARE IMPORTANT. PLEASE BRING IT TO A BICYCLE MECHANIC to have it checked out and set up properly with the right tools*** Btw, my Youtube vlogs and reviews may also have associated affiliate links to products that may earn from qualifying purchases.

After upgrading the original 2017 Vilano Atom( http://amzn.to/2fV0dX0 ) 24 mph cheap ebike freewheel from 14-30 to 11-30 ( http://amzn.to/2fW2r8i ) , i am taking it on my first test ride. there is significantly more pedal control over 25-35 kph speeds over the standard freewheel. i also upgraded the pedals to fold. The brakes needed to be trued so i wont scrap.

This video applies to pretty much any hub motor ebike that has a cable coming out of the hub motor. The stock Shimano 7 speed free had 14-30 teeth which on 20 inch tires had a top pedal speed of 13-15 MPH (20 kph). Swaping to a 11-30 teeth DNP Epoch Freewheel allows the top pedal speed to go to about 18 mph (30 kph).

This helps as with the pedal assist is up to 24 mph (40 kph). This will allow for more control over the bike at the higher speeds. This bike is governed to assist to 24 mph, I am not changing that, i am just upgrading the freewheels so it better matches the higher speeds of this bike.
