That's a pretty cool looking shop
1st Gen Tern GSD s10. Only problem I've had (other than a recent flat tire) was the chain guide getting "sticky" and not rolling well. Luckily that was an easy fix, even for an absolute novice at bike repair like myself.
I live in nc too
Nice Video, I have a Tern P7i (acoustic, similar to the current D7i) with Nexus 7. Never had a chain problem.
Nice bike and what about these footrests??
What motor is this one? My Cargo Line doesn't move the chain when backpedaling..

This is a Bosch Performance Sport. I believe all newer Bosch motors have the clutch in the motor to move the chain/belt backwards.
But ....what are bushings? 😭 If you're looking for video ideas, would consider doing a series on just bike parts and explain it like you're explaining it to a 6 year old.

Bushings are the hollow metal cylinders that cover the chain pins ( I think she actually means the rollers ? ) . These are between the inner plates ( the ones closer together) . They are loose and can be rotated by hand when the chain links are held still. When in contact with the cassette sprockets ( gears on the back wheel) and chainrings ( big rings near the pedals ) they are held static by friction. Just for Bike Shop Girl, I am one of those ' waxing nerds ' who from the Shifter vid you sent a clear message to !
