Actually, the easier option is to put a Bodyguard on now. While the wheel is already scratched, the Bodyguard will cover up all that pain and make everything look like new again - and in colour even. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post The Brahan Seer Posted July 18, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 18, 2021 Thanks for the comments guys, I love this machine so much. Good idea to get one of those buffers, I do use T-Cut by hand to get rid of the dirt but the the buffer would work better and take out most scratches . I did think of getting new side panels one day as they are cheap and easy to fit but it would be scratched up again in no time. Fortunately I don't mind the scratches, part of her character. In the 3 months I have had her I probably do 10 miles a day average for say 1.5-2 hrs. 50% Road (Streets, Gravel, pot holes), 50% off road (Trails/Fields/Forests/Beach). So lucky I have all these on my door step. I am also learning tricks and going backwards which is why it gets dropped so much too. Who knew EUC's could be so much fun. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should have added a to my post. Sorry. We joke around here at times. A buffer will not work on plastic to remove your battle scars. It will only melt the plastic. Jason at Ewheels has S18 replacement side panels and molded pads. Or purchase a Bodyguard from them. Good luck. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may even save you some time from having to keep ordering parts. My beat up mten all a sudden looked better than new once I covered it. Covers soften impact a hair as well. OR.. you could start collecting and applying stickers. I reccomend bumper stickers and band-aids Edited July 18, 2021 by ShanesPlanet 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At 1720 miles now. If I had been aware of MTB frame protector tape I would probably have put some on the more vulnerable area's. Cons At 100-70% battery the wheel feels zippy but below this it does start to feel a little underpowered and slightly more sluggish when doing pendulums and tighter work. If you only need to travel say 10-20 miles a trip then its fine but any more than this and you will notice it. If you do a lot of mtb trails, jumps and steep inclines etc then its possibly a little fragile. I haven't had a major crash on it yet but could easily see it losing its rear end Pros Its very manageable, fast enough to learn on, very versatile, great for tricks and keeps you occupied. I'm never bored of it. Great off road, on road, all terrains. Went on some nice blue and orange mtb tracks during Christmas it was a blast. I have never felt like I was losing control of it over harsh surfaces, potholes etc the suspension just soaks it up. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
