A small point but worth doing is to mark which way the outcoming

It’s a STURMEY ARCHER drum brake at bottom of macpherson strut. The newer ones are 90mm, before that they are 70mm. Dr. Earl Macpherson a engineer at chevrolet in early 50’s gave us the macpherson strut.

thanks Eric. I changed my front tires and tubes without removing the wheel. It was quite easy, the first one took about 10 minutes and the second one about 5 minutes. The only reason I'd remove the wheel is to inspect or replace the brake pads.

I have enjoye watching all your videos about the PEBL and they have helped me to decide to eventually get one of these.Thanks... DAVE

When rotating front tadpole tires for even wear you can retain the rolling direction by letting the inner side become the outer side on the other wheel. It is generally advised to maintain the rolling direction of broken in tires for retaining the best ply bond retention and delamination prevention. That is more important than trying to display the tire decals for show!

Eric - every day I easily lift one of my front tires to demonstrate the light weight of the ELF, only one hand is needed to push up on the top of the door opening. I made a simple wood stand from an 8 inch square base of plywood and a 2x3 stud scrap about 12 inches long. I can't see any need for a jack unless your body shell is too delicate to push up on the door opening to tilt the front to one side or the other. My stand is just high enough to hold a tire one inch off the ground. I lean the stand against the frame and tilt the ELF enough to let the stand level itself under a frame member. For raising the rear tire I lean the stand up against one of the frame arms and lift the rear wheel just enough for the stand to fall into place under it. Maybe your rear end is too heavy for that but a simple lever and fulcrum could do the job of lifting it 2 inches. My simple stand is light and easy to carry in the trunk. An even lighter stand could be made from PVC pipe and flange. I also carry a linear tube so I can change a rear tube without removing the wheel. Never needed it so far.... For an on the road repair a front tube it can be replaced without lifting the wheel by careful rolling it a ways after prying off one side of the tire. If the puncture point is known you could try a patch with the puncture on the high side, wheel still on the ground.

I am from Brazil and I really liked your videos, I am very interested in ecological transport like this, sorry to be very expensive to import PEBL, to my country ....

HI Eric. NICE to see another one of your videos. Good tip on bouncing tires. Hope you make more. Enjoyed it. :-)

Did anyone else notice at

Hi Eric! I'm thinking of going carless and I started researching the PEBL. Your videos are really informative! I'm also in Eugene and I'd love to pick your brain if you have time.

Hi Eric. Haven't seen a video from you in a while. Wanted to reach out. Hope you and the family are ok. Take care.

..glad to see another vid from you Eric~

I wonder how well the PEBL would stay upright, unencumbered, without one of the front wheels in order to change it. I can vouch for AAA as I used it two days ago, but unless it's nasty I'd rather spend 20 minutes to replace the tube than an hour-and-a-half to wait for the tow truck.

Thanks for these videos. I wondering what kind of frame and/or collision protection the pebl has...any chance you can show us?

Thanks for the video; it was quite helpful. Did you get a look at how the brake shoes were wearing?

No grease?
