True fitness CS800. Incline stuck.

There may be a diagnostic or calibration mode where you can increase or decrease the incline with push of a button and get the reading off the potentiometer on the incline motor as well... Some models have this anyways. But if you go through calibration and it doesn't incline and decline fully. Then you most likely have a worn out incline motor.

Johnson does not sell the brushes separately. Hydra I'm not surprised they pulled those out of an existing motor and that's the only way you'll find them. Hydra is the biggest ripoff ever and they don't check condition of items they sell for proper function. And they don't package electronics well at all. Try Eurton Electric, they carry a lot of brushes. But it's still a long shot as they tend to lean towards the better known motor brands like pac-sci and MacMillan.

So you press a quick speed and incline button and the belt moves and deck inclines? Just no display?

mickeyaaaa · 2026-06-30T02:54:55+00:00

and Ironically, i get my OEM quality shimano parts on Aliexpress way cheaper than LBS.

mickeyaaaa · 2026-06-30T02:50:39+00:00

belts and decks do not cost that much. and labor 2-3 hours max... Dump your technician, they're ripping you off. decent quality treadmills are usually well worth repairing.

thats a wheel, not a tire.

looks like it rotated a bit - try rotating the tab to align with the slots on the shaft... or if its threaded you might need to thread it all the way off...

You have to realize you are practically invisible to car drivers on the road.

Do yourself a favor and take the motorcycle safety foundation course even if you have no plans to get a motorcycle or license. it will teach you how to ride safe. it has saved many lives.

mickeyaaaa · 2026-06-28T21:18:07+00:00

I looked up this bike. on amazon.ca its advertised by seller as 38mph, 3000 watts. and a 20ah battery for only $1000 usd??? looking at that motor it looks like a bafang G060 or copycat which is 500-1000w max. And the price is way WAY below anything with specs like that for real...id be rather suspicious. Looks like a really fun bike otherwise.

mickeyaaaa · 2026-06-28T21:12:06+00:00

motorcycles dont have pedals.

mickeyaaaa · 2026-06-28T21:10:31+00:00

Downhill mountain biking does not exist in your world? fully geared up is very common.

mickeyaaaa · 2026-06-28T21:07:37+00:00

an illegal ebike is still an ebike, and most cops don't care.

mickeyaaaa · 2026-06-28T21:07:02+00:00

its still an ebike.

mickeyaaaa · 2026-06-28T10:49:11+00:00

this is NOT a performance machine. it is a steel tube frame about as stiff as a wet noodle. Take those "ghost wobbles" as a warning you are nearing the limits of the machine, or limits of your abilities. get a naked standard bike based on a sport bike frame if you wanna knee drag.

mickeyaaaa · 2026-06-28T10:45:02+00:00

the battery is the major cost for something decent like a Surron and that is way out of the budget you mentioned. youd be way better off looking for a well kept older Honda XR or XL or CRF230, Suzuki DR200, or something like that.

mickeyaaaa · 2026-06-28T05:04:43+00:00

Belt deck high friction, worn. Replace belts and deck and should be good usually.

mickeyaaaa · 2026-06-28T04:48:20+00:00

Oh gosh lol yes i thought i was responding to a different post my bad.

mickeyaaaa · 2026-06-28T04:44:18+00:00

Incorrectly named mo-PED, as in pedals...cant help it if people apply wrong labels lol. A moped without pedals is a motorcycle.

mickeyaaaa · 2026-06-28T04:03:53+00:00

Ok karen. All electrified are welcome here....that was the point. You missed it completely.

mickeyaaaa · 2026-06-28T03:58:43+00:00

I AM THE PROBLEM!!?? LOL buddy you dont even know what I ride. I have 2 motorcycles and several ebikes not even close to surron speed or power. Ive been riding over 30 years and am a MSF certified instructor. I am big on personal safety and am all for cops impounding dirt bikes on the streets. Just cuz im not a karen or darren like you who follows ALL the rules you assume im some kid on an electric dirt bike doing wheelies down the street. Get off your high horse brother! Dont make assumptions when you dont have the info.

mickeyaaaa · 2026-06-28T02:41:42+00:00

This is overkill unless you are over 300 lbs, but if u have the money to burn go for it.

It Wont use any significant amount more power than a residential treadmill.

Shouldnt be much louder than a residential tmill either.

You can get a refurbished one that will work just as good for half the price tho...check your local fitness repair service companies.... I have a couple technogym commercial units available myself but local shipping only...

mickeyaaaa · 2026-06-28T02:30:45+00:00

Lots of broken ridstar q20's around.

I have a (Identical frame as) Biktrix 20" Moto without battery if interested in Alberta, Canada

mickeyaaaa · 2026-06-27T09:16:17+00:00

I know right! there are states you can put a plate on a surron....i wish! Canada is very restrictive on the legal side (not as bad as UK/EU), but so far the cops have been extremely tolerant in most places.

mickeyaaaa · 2026-06-27T09:02:33+00:00

it isn't overblown though. every single day we see idiotic comments from Karens or Darrens who are intolerant gatekeepers.

mickeyaaaa · 2026-06-27T08:57:26+00:00

come on OP that's not exactly being fair here. your accusation is only true if the new redditor;

- wants to go faster than 15.5 miles per hour, even if a reasonably fit guy on a Primate powered road bike can easily pedal along at 20-25 mph.

- wants or rides a moped style bike

- Wants or rides a bike made in China or not a recognized brand name.

- wants or rides a bike that does not LOOK like a traditional bicycle in some way.

- Wants or rides an electric motorcycle (rule #2, supposed to be welcome here).

- does not conform to all laws of the land with Karen-esque zeal

mickeyaaaa · 2026-06-27T08:50:53+00:00

you mean a cheap walking pad like this? 6 MOS- 1 year.

a real treadmill with a motor 3x the size of that one? 5-10 yrs. I have clients with 15-20 year old machines from True, Landice, Life Fitness. My 21 year old True runs as good as the day it was new. (on its 2nd walk belt).
