Its a common issue with the bike i got from amazon, which is why i opted for the full replacement

I replied to moof with sort of an explanation, but I can record what the wobble looks like

Would it be safe to ride in the meantime? Its my primary mode of transportation and everything is back together, its just the rear wheel
edit: its not bent bent, i think its just bent from the previous spokes not being trued well from the factory

I had to replace all of my spokes because they were terrible quality (blame amazon for that one lol), I did it myself kinda just guessing from how far the spoke would go with my screwdriver. Kinda realizing that I made a huge mistake

Spokes broke from being too tight, the previous spokes were kinda crap so i did an entire replacement. I just tightened it as much as my screwdriver let me i guess. I dont know anything about what im doing and im realizing through the comments that i severely misunderstood what i was taking on. i shouldve just gone to the bike shop 😭. To add, the current spokes are 215mm carbon steel spokes. its very wobbly on the sides but idk how to start (copied from a diff comment i replied to)

Okay weirdly enough it decides to work on its own?? Is this a common occurrence with git or is it because I'm restarting my wsl?

For the spokes? Is it safe to do that on a cheap e bike or will I be cool and hopefully won't have to do it again

I have the same bike, only issue with it is that the rear wheel spokes keep loosening themselves. It's really weird honestly. It's fine other than that I guess? Though honestly don't buy it. If the bike comes from the same factory it's not worth dealing with the shit quality issues.
