We just got our second XP Lite and the tires fitted are 20x2.60/66-406.

If I bought this, I'm not sure I would carry a passenger. But knowing that the rack is part of the frame, it's nice to know that I could carry a heavier load But I probably will buy another Lite to match the one my wife has - just a different color

I'd be happy to buy directly from Lectric again. We have had good customer service from them. I just wonder if Amazon can deliver quicker with their vast shipping network.

I just got an email from Lectric about their new Wag-Along pet trailer for $179...

I just got an email from Lectric with their new Wag-along pet trailer. Not cheap at $179...

The Lite weighs about 47lbs while the XP 2.0 comes in around 64lbs. I don't think my wife could lift the XP 2.0 into the back of her Forester but can do the Lite with a little effort. The Lite is a single gear. My wife has never had a geared bike so this was actually a positive for her. The...

@Carma that looks like that'll work. Am I correct that it's a standard bottle holder?

My wife would like a water bottle holder for her XP Lite, so this is a two part question: 1) Where / How can I mount a water bottle holder to the XP Lite? Maybe fit to the four holes for the front basket? 2) Can anyone recommend a holder that would take a metal bottle for hot and cold drinks...

Everyone - thank you for your contributions here. I was iffy about the rim brakes for an ebike which is why I posed the question here. By the time I acquire a bike with disk brakes then order a kit and install it, it's just not worth the time and money for me. I'll probably order another...

Did you add a front suspension and new handlebars? How much did it add to the weight?

Not saying I'll get this, but it may be a possibility: https://smartbikewheel.com/#!/SmartBikeWheel/c/115904372 There's also a couple of Youtube videos by Electric Bike Report. Just search for, "Smart Bike Wheel". I don't know how to copy the video link on my phone to paste here. Everything...

Okay - good to know. Not something I had thought about. I think my options are narrowing to just buying a pre-made ebike.

We got the Lectric XP Lite for my wife back in early June and she loves it. Here are my answers to your questions: How do you like your Lectric bike? I’m guessing you do if your reading this forum 😃 My wife loves the bike. It's the blue one. I'm considering buying a second Lite to keep up with...

Update: After researching for the past couple of days, I'm not finding a reasonable priced rear hub motor kit. Also, the current trend seems to be 750W and up - definitely not where I want to go. I had not thought of the front hub motor. That way, I can get assist only when I need it. I'll...

Thanks for all the advice. In answer to some of the questions: - this is an old, cheap bike. I'll be very surprised if it has alloy rims - center pull brakes. I know, I was surprised myself. - we only ride in fair weather. The hint of rain or cold and we wimp out. - planning on changing...
