@IDEA curious what are you using for the rods through the main heim joint? Just had a catastrophic failure on my 8mm threaded rod after hitting a pothole. Wheel sheered off , high carbon steel but not strong enough.

How do you lock this up?

Then the front wheel, the batteries, the seat, and pedals are probably gone in 7 minutes

I haven’t had to lock it up, I usually keep it in the garage unless I am riding it. If I had to I would probably use a few cable locks and take the front wheel off because it’s a quick release. The batteries and mounts are all glued to the frame with the same adhesive that is used for car windshields

What is the name of this elusive compound?
I’ve heard it called betaseal but it feels just like a rubbery urethane glue. Closest thing I’ve ever felt to it is trampoline or heavy duty inflatable repair glues. I have a bounce house and a paddleboard you weirdos. Oh and that @BillGordon inflatable.

No I haven’t, cops don’t seem to even look at the bike when I’m riding it. I stay under 30 mph too which helps

I believe it was this. It comes out kind of thick and is pretty messy. But dries high durometer and seems to be a way more permanent and solid bond then silicone. Its a one time use thing from my experience, once you open the tube it’ll be a solid block in a day or so. That beta seal @Venom121212 brought up looks to be very similar.
