    Inaccurate mileage and speed? Calibrate?

    I assume you mean 800 watt, not 8,000. Otherwise motor would glow in the dark.

    Reention newly upgrade 48V 25Ah&36V 30Ah (505L) interchangeable for eBikes Surface 604,NCM,Rize,Magnum,Aventon

    Yes, I'd assume it's 13S 4P. Wonder if they could make it 52v with one more row. And I notice the latest version of the battery from Lectric is just 9.6Ah, or 2,400mAh cells. Wonder why... In any event, are there rebuilders who can take an old battery assembly and rebuild with the 3,500mAh...

    Reention newly upgrade 48V 25Ah&36V 30Ah (505L) interchangeable for eBikes Surface 604,NCM,Rize,Magnum,Aventon

    Hi, just bought a couple of Lectric XP 2.0 Step-Through ebikes. They have a good-quality 48v/10.4Ah battery pack carried in the frame. Would it be possible to build a higher-capacity battery that would still fit within their standard case? Lectric is a new company, based in Phoenix Arizona...

    lectric xp upgrade

    First thing I changed on our new XP 2.0 ST bikes was to change the freewheel from 14-28 to 11-34. This gives a considerably-lower first gear to help with climbing hills. As for power, I note that on the hills around us my bike pulls 18 amps at 48v at full-throttle. That's about 900 watts, or...

    Just ordered my XP 2.0! No lead times now

    Good that the lead times have been shortened. We ordered two XP 2.0 ST bikes mid-November; one arrived within a few weeks but the other took about a month. Funny thing is that the first bike went all over the place in getting from Arizona to Oregon. For a while it was stuck in SoCal, moving...

    Lectric XP 2.0 Reviews

    Bought two Lectric step-throughs for Christmas for myself in the wife, very impressed with fit and finish, the paint is flawless. Changed the 14-28 freewheel to 11-34, huge difference at both ends. Got the Black Friday special which included cushy seat and spring post as well as a very nice...

    5V USB port on handlebars

    UPDATE 2: It's now been just over two weeks and the voltage on the 48 volt battery has barely dropped .2 volts or about .1 volt per week. Since the lithium cells self- discharge to a certain extent anyway, this represents a very low idle current draw for both the controller and the USB port. If...

    Hello Lectric Bike Owners - Help :)

    Right now it's cold and drizzly here in Oregon, but the bikes have 3" tires, so they should do pretty well in soft stuff. Probably some YouTube videos about that.

    Hello Lectric Bike Owners - Help :)

    We bought two of the XP ST bikes a month ago. Can't say enough about them, just great ebikes. Beautifully made, flawless paint, great operation, great info LCD. AND CRUISE CONTROL (very rare)! And--the price was remarkably low, about $1K. We've since added folding baskets, 11-34 freewheels...

    5V USB port on handlebars

    UPDATE: It's now been three days with the key on. Voltage of the battery remains at 46.6 volts. A drop to 46.5 would represent a loss of 1 Watt-Hour (out of about 500WH when fully charged) so it appears that the USB port is drawing very little current while idle. It's about 25 degrees F...

    How to recover a stolen eBike in San Francisco

    What blows me away is that the perp was left alone to rip off other stuff. And the owner was actually willing to pay the perp for his initiative, even to the point of going to an ATM for more money if the price was higher. Shows how bizarre certain cities like SF have gotten. Likely if this...

    eBikes overtake Road Bikes

    I am new to this Board and new to eBikes, but we just got two Lectric ST (white and black) for Christmas presents to ourselves, and are thoroughly impressed by the workmanship and utility of these things. We've added folding rear baskets for groceries, USB ports for running smartphone GPS...

    5V USB port on handlebars

    So the BAQI USB Handlebar port arrived the other day. --I was concerned that I would snap off the handlebar mount so I heated up the plastic with a hair dryer and it slipped on with no issues. No need for spacers, it fit the handlebar diameter perfectly. --The power cable is just long enough...

    Frame is non-magnetic so I would assume it was aluminum. Front forks and luggage rack are steel.

    Ebike #5 -- My Personal Thoughts on the XP ST V2.0

    Enjoyed the review. Just got two XPst bikes for Christmas, white and black. Rear axle guard also bent on one of them,easily fixed. Brake cables bone dry; fixed that. Disabled PAS, just use throttle for far more control. Installed 11-34 free wheels, great improvement. Great bikes.

    Adding USB port?

    Perhaps something like this is what you had in mind. It mounts to the handlebar. Have the local ebike repair guy do the installation. Simple job for an ebike guy...

    Are Womens' Cycling Competitions Wrecked?

    What strange times we live in. The simplest solution is to go back to XX and XY parameters to determine which team a person is allowed on. A far more cumbersome system could be worked out, with some success. I used to race sailboats. There are literally dozens of boat brands and many custom...

    Keyhole dirt contamination

    Bought two of the XP step-throughs last month and we are enjoying them very much. One topic that often comes up is the location of the battery keyhole. It's at the very bottom on the bike, which makes it hard to see while inserting the key. I've resorted to just leaving the thing on unless...

    2nd Test Ride

    The seat is simply a cushy wide platform for your rear end. Any "blame" would probably trace back to either a tilt issue (a trivial fix) or the shock of bumps (sorry, that would be hard to fix, short of going to a rear suspension). Not trying to make light of your pain, but try adjusting the...
