Buying and Maintaining a Safe E-Assist for your Trike!

  • Summary

  • We take the show on the road to Colorado to visit Electric Bike Outfitters in Denver. CEO Jason Livingston gives a tour of his facility then begins a detailed tear down of a hub and a mid-drive motor. We get to see what's inside each type of e-assist and Jason shows us how to properly lubricate and maintain each for long term use. With e-assist safety high on everyone's mind right now he shows us how EBO's batteries and motors are triple checked and gives us advice on how to make sure your buying experience is a sound one.
