I believe that the referenced post(22)saves as a wrap-up to that thread's discussion pertaining to Step-Thru batteries. Also that THIS thread's title may perhaps better capture the attention of and alert future Step-Thru purchasers to the mis-marking situation. The proper contacts for...

Yes, I thought of that, ...but I think ST owners who have not noticed or have already quit reading the other thread might be grabbed by a little more bold heads-up. Besides, I sensed that you had time on your hands, and might appreciate a reason to post again yourself ;-) You might want to...

ATTN STEP-THRU OWNERS: The molded-in indicators for + and - on the black end of the battery are INCORRECTLY POSITIONED. To check your battery voltage off-bike with a multi-meter, you must use the end contact towards the pointed end of the battery for the positive meter probe, ...and the...

See my post # 22 in the thread " How to determine battery % charge off-bike"

Step Thru batteries not correctly/clearly marked for + and -. I finally got an accurate meter reading of my Step-Thru battery. The correct reading is only gotten when the meter probes are in the end connections, with the red(positive) lead in the end-most contact ( ...the one nearest the...

Exactly. No reading on either of 2 (Step Thru)batteries, tested with working meter, set on 300v. range, 2 days ago. Both batteries showed over 50 volts afterwards when installed in bike. Used contacts marked + and - on batteries. Curious, ( I note that several posters in this thread mention...

Step Thru models of Lectric XP

L-L-L-L-Link?

Can anyone please give the 3 standard handlebar measurements from the stock XP or ST bikes? Center diameter for stem clamp, ...end diameter for grips, ...outside to outside overall length(width) Thanks

I've seen Jeremiah Mcintosh's YouTube about changing to wider bars, (Upanbike Ultra wide Dutch M) which he likes better, ...but the Amazon link says unavailable at this time. The bars are 600mm, which is somewhat wider than stock, but seem still a little short for additional accessories, bell...

We are storing our batteries inside at "house" temps, (+/- 10 deg. per the manual). We take this to be 70 +/- 10 degrees f. Thus 60-80 deg. But with winter temps dropping below freezing frequently, i.e. teens to twenties, we are concerned about other electrical components ( display, controller...

Oh yeah. We've been divinely sparked into making the earth less tenable for all the other "animals" as well as ourselves. Apparently Suday school wasn't a good enough thing. We don't need any more human multiplying. (Apologies for contributing to the drift. Isn't this an e-bike blog?)

Thanks Jeff, ...very helpful. Makes me feel a bit "Duh!" for not looking more closely at the battery markings. :-0 I would have put the red lead in the "plus" mark, though. Thomas, Good point. (Did anyone ever tell you that you look like a fish?)
