I borrowed the world's worst eBike, the Reevo, on the condition that I would fix it and return it in better condition than when I picked it up. It turned into a massive project of jailbreaking the computer, printing parts, and more!

SethsBikeHacks comes full circle.
bless whatever engineer left all of those console prints enabled🙏
The Bluetooth key was 696969?? My god, I've gotta change the combo on my luggage!
Some former Reevo Engineer is spinning in their chair, watching this video, and seeing all that could have been. Seth, you are a masterful storyteller. Thank you
Looking at those well labelled innards, the whole thing reeks of genuine passion ruined by management and deadlines
A deadman's switch in the handlebars could eliminate the runaway problem.
The electrical engineer on that seems to be a really nice guy. Meaningful logging, labeled PCB, labeled connectors.. Very nice.
those "Headlights" being the single most cheapest low LED density having strips tells enough about their actualy quality at that company. they had some very passionate people working towords some unrealistic expectations.
Companies that brick their devices by tying functions to app and servers deserve all the failure and bankruptcy they can get. Im seriously impressed you jail broke it Seth!
Seth be _properly_ hacking this bike now.
The noisy break pads are great. Sounds like the reevo is drifting.
I don't know why, but the high pitched whine coming from the illuminated logo is funny as hell to me.
hilarious that they likely nerfed the brakes because of noise but then added that transformer for literally no reason!
11:28 - that light panel is peak Juicero energy
im seriously impressed by seth's genius lmao
The brake sound is hilarious and I'd totally leave it. Surely worth the safety benefits!
Maybe a weight sensor could help prevent runaway?
I actually approve of the word hacked in the title...It's not clickbait in this instance. Well done!
Finally: Seth's Bike Hacks
Seth, this was one of your most impressive rehab projects ever. I'm a loyal fan and am in awe of your storytelling abilities. I used to watch a ton of MTB channels on YouTube over the years. You are the only one I still watch on the regular, and that is a testament to your creativity and ingenuity. Keep up the amazing work!
