Very Interesting stuff. I can't speak to your situation but I remember years ago when I converted my racing Go Kart from a chain system to a carbon belt system...it was a completely different animal running the carbon belt...EVEN when both had the exact SAME number of teeth on both front and...

I have the Suntour...its worth the cost but be careful about the diameter if you buy one. On mine it was smaller than the Lectric stock seat post tube... so it required a spacer in order to fit properly. You don't want the seat post rattling around in the tube. It must be a very tight fit. The...

I'd have to second that.

I don't weigh over 250#, but I have the Lectric comfort package. Frankly the "po-go stick" style suspension seat post is frankly (mehhh...I love you Lectric, but it's mehhh). The comfort seat is 10" wide and even for me at 170#, I would prefer a seat in the 11" width to be honest, but that's...

yeah...and I think if all those guys who DIED in that submersible (trying to see the Titanic) knew that it was made of Carbon Fiber... probably would have said, no thank you, and be alive today. Yes, carbon fiber is very light and strong...UNTIL IT ISN'T. And when it isn't, bad things always happen.

The one thing I like about Lectric eBikes..is the VOLTAGE meter. I've had other eBikes from Ride1Up and I really missed the voltage meter I had on my original Lectric XP1. I never use the "battery meter", I used the voltage meter. There are voltage/battery % charts that others have made for...

The only negative with the battery location...is that it makes this new, revolutionary eBike... look really dated and cheap, which it's not. You can't have everything.

I'm urging Lectric to sell their BMX setup on the XP Lite 2.0 as an option accessory for the XP Lite 1.0 and XP3 owners. I think if that happens, there will be a better option for those wanting them as they have the financial means to have them in stock 24/7 with expedited shipping. Make it...

I think that this is more of a warning to eBike manufacturers (and not unsuspecting buyers)..."if one of your eBikes causes personal or property damage due to a battery fire...,you will pay a hefty penalty and be prosecuted for all damages". I can't imagine the cops are going to stop and check...

Legislation S.154F/A.4938-D prohibits the sale of lithium-ion batteries used in micro-mobility devices, bicycles with electric assist or mopeds unless such batteries are manufactured in accordance with certain standards and specifications. Legislation S.154F/A.4938-D provides a civil penalty and...

Good that you are riding. On my XP Lite after a few miles the rear tire kept needing to be pumped up every morning. It had a "loose" valve which needed to be screwed in to be properly sealed. Stuff happens. The tubes on the Lectric had the slime sealant pre-installed before shipping. I'm...

I think almost 100% of Lectric eBike owners and potential buyers would prefer a working "brake induced" rear light and a good handlebar bell....over the let's be honest...LOUSY headlights they put on these eBikes.

"Elite" is a marketing term that sounds good but in reality when they offer a "free" Elite headlight you say to yourself...wow, cool. But seriously there is nothing Elite about this headlight. If you need a good headlight that actually allows you to safely see where you are going, there are lots...

Then you'll be riding your new eBike by next weekend. Have fun, don't look back. The Turris is a very good eBike by a very good company. You will have a bit more assembly than with a Lectric model but it will be worth it.

I hope I live long enough to see the current Lithion batteries go the way of the dinosaurs. Imagine a solid state battery 1/4 of the weight, charges in 15 minutes, and has 10x the range of the current batteries we have to struggle with. Its already happening in experimental EVs and it can't come...
