The key that you use to turn the battery on, also turns on a "lock" mechanism which protrudes from the battery through a hole in the frame. So the key is either "on", "off and battery locked into frame", or "off and battery is unlocked from frame". There isn't a special trick here other than...

You know what, you are 100% correct. I totally misread that, my apologies. I still don't think I can consider that jumping the line. In all actuality, those paying the extra while getting their bikes sooner, they are also likely freeing up bikes that might already be on a boat? It sounds to...

I agree there might be better ways for them to have handled the bottleneck for sure. I also imagine that for every single "other" way there would be some other kind of backlash as a result. Personally, I would have liked to see a "we don't charge your card until we ship" approach, but then...

Great info for anyone else who might suffer the same issue either in shipping or otherwise. Thanks!!

To me that back part looks welded on, so I imagine it also goes on another bike and is used to hold something else. But it looks pretty solid like you could mount something there if you wanted to.

I can understand the frustration of everyone waiting on their bikes. I too shared in that frustration a few months ago. I'll offer this. After the estimated timeframe was up, or close to it (I can't exactly remember now), I started to send emails to inquire about my order. I was polite and...

Well there are a lot of batterys out there that are similar to this, I wonder if he might be able to retrofit a newer one? https://www.sixthreezero.com/products/battery-for-ebikes?variant=33317892751495 I found that, but I think that one has a built in tail light, and I am sure would need to...

I swear I saw someone riding one of these just the other day, or something similar. Its just to small...reminds me of a clown car. Its not the rider looked uncomfortable or anything, just like like an adult on kids bike. Thats one of the reasons I was drawn to the XP in the first place. It...

Is that a "lectric" battery? Is there a part number somewhere? Its kinda cool with the gauge on it, but a part number or the specific thing it came off of would help in trying to a find a replacement.

So I am researching what type of mirrors to get for our bikes, just wondering what you all have or think of these two types? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XWRMZZF/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_apa_i_xax2EbKEHAX7K?th=1 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0009R96YK So I like that the hafny ones don't require...

Try turning off PAS (set setting to 0). If the crunchiness still happens, I would take a closer look at the gear train and chain first, maybe you picked up a rock or it’s dirty or out of alignment. If you think it’s that, I would find something to support the bike on…bike stand..something so...

So Muc Off makes a nanotech bike cleaner, a waterless wash and a ebike waterless wash. Finish line also makes an ebike wash of some sort, but seems more of a aerosol than a pump spray handle. Does anyone have experience with some of the “ebike” products? I want to order on Amazon. High powered...

What is the best way to clean the bike if covered in “trail dust”? I assume hosing it down is a no no. I can imagine an air compressor will help, but I can’t imagine it will get it entirely clean..

It’s unfortunate you will have to wait to get your bike, but I think you will be happy when you do. :) Right now it’s going to be hard to get anything near this price point. Even the more expensive ones are hard to find.

Even after a full charge on a lithium, you are still going to experience some decay. Especially because I am sure the supplied chargers are charging at a 1c rate at the nominal voltage. If you could crank the voltage charged at up a little bit higher you might see the full 54.6v. Also every...
