A:Answeri put on a sidepull brake but you need to replace the front rim because the stock rim is rounded and the brake pad has no breaking surface to make contact with. ordered the rim from porkchop bmx, it was probably around 50-60 bucks plus shipping.
A:AnswerHello!
At this time SWFT does not sell accessories for our bikes however we hope to soon! If you would like a purchase an aftermarket rear rack, you will need to measure the space and to see if the product you are interested in will fit. We have seen many customers attach aftermarket rack, baskets, and other accessories to our bikes so there are definitely some compatible ones out there.
A:AnswerIt only has 1 gear, like a standard BMX and can be easily pedaled. You can ride it normally, or turn on the motor to assist with the pedaling, which makes it amazingly easy on hills. I can see no reason why it would take longer than a regular bike since it goes up to about 20 mph with the motor and as fast as you would normally pedal a bike.
A:AnswerI would say probably not. I am over 50 and was part of the old school movement in the early 80s. I ride it to work work (round trip about 7 miles). It takes me about 20 mins each way. I generally use bike assist 1 only, with a few relaxing segments of using the throttle.
A:AnswerThe max supported weight of the BMX is 265lbs. Please note that this is the maximum weight supported by the frame, but if you are near the top end of the weight limit, you may not get as much response from your throttle. Hope this helps!
A:AnswerThe battery price may change over time, and I don't know what it is currently as it's not on the manufacturer's website. So no one can answer the price question. BMX probably can if you call them: 833-747-4631
