ActBest Pioneer Rear wheel
Posted by coco1155@reddit | ebikes | View on Reddit | 5 comments
I broke my rear wheel and I’m looking for a replacement but I can’t seem to find it. ActBest is all sold out. Any advice on a rear wheel that will work on the ActBest Pioneer?

It’s not broken, all wheels have this it’s just where the two ends are joined. It’s called a rim joint.

This. Aluminum rims are a section of extruded form, bent in a loop and welded together at the ends. The bright metal I'm seeing at the joint are probably just where welding-slag flaked off from under the paint.
If this joint has really failed, the OP should be able to flex the rim to open the gap.
If it is broke, shop for an equivalent rim and have it laced onto the old spokes and hub-motor. Better yet, find a shop that will do the wheel lacing and have them source the rim.

Good news. That's not broken.
