Same here. I opened a case with PayPal and got a refund via paypal after a few weeks. If you ordered with a credit card or paypal, open a dispute asap. If you do it via paypal, read the directions for the dispute carefully a few times. I almost messed it up and would have lost out.

To answer my own question, I saw one today. I spoke to the guy a bit. He really liked it. Got it a few weeks ago after being promised for June. He gets good range. I didn't speak to him for too long, but other than the shipping delay, all seemed positive. I was on a normal bike, and there...

Looking for reviews of a production XPress. Anyone get one yet? I have a few questions. How is the torque sensor? Does it work well? Does the throttle give you full power at lower PAS levels? Or is it restricted based on the assist level? Thanks

We're considering the Fiido C22 for my wife. The most attractive features are the torque sensor and very light weight. Her current ebike is the Lectric XP which she finds to be too heavy and clumsy for her to handle, specially when first getting started, or in unexpected situations. I've...

If the OP grabbed a handful of brake and went over the bars, the solution is not to make the brakes less powerful, it is to use the brakes properly by not grabbing them by the handful. All decent mountain bikes have 1 finger brakes, even if the lever might technically have room for more...

Hydraulic brakes on bikes are meant to be operated with your index finger only. Thats why they are so strong. You are supposed to adjust the position of the brake lever so your index finger can hold the end of the lever at all times, and your other fingers can grip the handlebar. This allows...

Since you are close enough to your neighbor to have borrowed the bike multiple times, maybe your neighbor could contact Lectric for you.

A broken spoke for no reason indicates an badly-built wheel. If you fixed a single spoke, there is a good chance you'd break another next month, and so on forever. This is not a Lectric-specific problem and does not indicate a widespread flaw in the xpeak, this happens to big name bikes too...

If an expensive vacation is dependent on you having this bike in July, or maybe something medical is involved, I'd have a backup plan in place in case the delay is longer. Lectric is a good company, but they have had issues in the past delivering pre-orders when expected, although that could...

Just ordered the 500 plus the fenders + rear rack.

I've had the XP 1.0 for a few years. Battery still works after 2500 miles. While I've never been stranded by its battery, I see the value in having a longer-range battery. I have no use for a 2nd battery that I have to be careful about rotating with the other one periodically, and ensuring is...

Any idea if the battery is somewhat standard and can be used on any other bikes? I'm torn between the 500 and 750. The only reason I want the 750 is due to the longer range battery. I have no use for the 2nd battery, and want nothing to do with caring for it. There is no option for getting...

I see 53# without the wheel. Nothing about the battery. Maybe I missed it. 5# seems light for a battery. Out of curiosity, what competition are you seeing in the $1300 (not to mention 1000) price range with torque sensor? Anything I see in that range is cadence sensor.

I'm very interested in this new one. I wonder what the weight of the base model will be. I have 50lb weight limit due to my bike rack. The weight is listed at 58 (lb), so it should be sub-50 with the battery removed. I'm interested in the base model, maybe that one will be lighter. I...

I missed the part where you said you were riding with PAS off. My XP 1.0 would not start from a dead stop with the throttle only until I activated that setting. I guess the lite comes programmed different than the XP 1.0.
