Same. Filled out the form for those. I still don't understand how they are doing the controller upgrade. [some sort of update, or, a whole controller]

Can't you ask Lectric?

Bear sightings are why our "cheater" motors and throttle are such good things. :)

Hmm. If Grin Tech tells it, it is probably a good purchase. Have discovered them recently, and the prices are affordable. I don't want to underspend and risk safety, though, but I see 2 companies now recommending them, so maybe it is worthy. Thanks for the response.

I guess the Facebook forums are more popular for Lectric dialog than here. Lectric released an announcement last week stating that in a small batch of XP 3.0 bikes, they found safety issues that could lead to brake failure. They are initiating a program to offer every XP 3.0 owner a hydraulic...

I see a number of threads about Hailong batteries - but mostly about how to mount, etc. Anyone know any facts about the quality and safety of these batteries?

How did you do with the longevity and overall quality of the Hailong battery?

Did you ever get this solved?

Good point. :) But if I ever was going to move out of this price point, and could afford it, I imagine the incentive would be to return to motorcycling - electric. :)

I find that many people in the Lectricverse are obsessed with claiming the stock brakes are crap, and it's hydraulic or stay home. I'm not getting it. My wife and I both have Lectric style bikes with disc brakes. They provide More than enough stopping power. I lived on my bicycle as a...

Excellent. Thanks. Yeah, I think I will enjoy a 20x3 street tire much more than a 20x4 knobby.

This is a fact. There are many ebikes out there that are ultimately coming from the same OEM design. But, Lectric Does stand above others - by providing a legitimate amount of support and parts.

I haven't been here in a while. I jumped into the ebike world last year in March or April I think. I had a great time last year. Bought basically a Lectric clone - from a 3rd party dealer selling Paselec ebikes. It's possible Paselec makes Lectric bikes, but I don't know. All I know is the...

Maybe we should swap forks and rims. :) I want the opposite direction. I have 20x4, and when those tires are shot, one way or another, I'm converting to 20x3 street.

Would love to see more laws requiring parts availability. Even if 7 years seems to be extreme for some companies, I'd be happy with a solid 5. Not sure how this would apply to stuff ordered direct from China, v.s., stuff ordered by a U.S. dealer selling the stuff from China.
