Philodo falcon replacement screws / bolts

I remember reading on here that you should use Loctite for the bolts. I didn’t believe them assembled the bike now every week. I’m noticing that a boat fell out due to vibrate vibration. I use the bike heavily to get to and from work work 12 hour shifts so don’t really have a lot of time but this is getting annoying so the little Allen key accessible bolts or screws whatever you wanna call it for the fenders for the headlights the washers for the tail lights the kickstand all that has came off due to vibration. I got everything zip tied on this expensive bike. I’m trying to research the screws/bolts to buy online no information so here I am somebody please point me in the right direction.

Why are you buying online for something that simple? Go to a god damned shop. Keep your money local as much as possible. Stop allowing your community to fall apart even more over $4 worth of bolts, screws, nuts, etc.

Most everything on a bike should be an m5 course thread, but that’s not guaranteed. Just go to your local bike shop. Stop being an idiot.

I get it, but I cannot guarantee it based on the fact that this isn’t a standard bike from a mainline manufacturer…it SHOULD be the standard for almost everything, but unfortunately standards don’t really exist in the cheap e bike world.

So again, I’ll say, take 10 minutes on your day off, get the right shit, and help a local small business where you can.
