    Do you regret buying (or not buying) Step-thru vs. Step-over frame?

    Are they related to Torker or did they just "borrow" their design? Memories from my BMX days.... (not my bike, I rode an even more obscure brand, Webco)

    How common are rattles, buzzes, and other noises on ebikes?

    Thanks. I was able to make the fender rattle a little better by putting a thin plastic washer between the fender and the frame at one of the mounting points. I'll have to try adding another one to the second mounting point. If that doesn't work I'll try either the 3M tape you mentioned or a...

    XP 3.0 any custom settings ideas

    Good suggestions. I'll be changing the auto shutdown time to 1 hour like you did. We often stop for more than 10 minutes. I'll also spend some time messing with the wheel size setting and comparing it to Google maps and a couple of other distance trackers on my phone. Will also check the...

    What’s causing all the ebike and escooter battery fires?

    I wasn't thinking along of the lines of mitigating it, just the opposite. I was thinking about the thing blowing up due to the intense heat created inside the enclosed space of the frame. Much like you see in flashlights that use very high powered lithium batteries. The ones in ebikes are...

    What’s causing all the ebike and escooter battery fires?

    Have there been any actual explosions from batteries that are enclosed inside the bike frame? One of my other hobbies is high-end flashlight collecting and there have been quite a few incidents where a battery ignited inside the flashlight and because it was enclosed it ended up blowing up like...

    Do you regret buying (or not buying) Step-thru vs. Step-over frame?

    No regrets on frame style. I bought a Lectric standard-frame for me and a step-through for the gf/wife. She wanted the step through because it looks like a traditional girl's bike. I wanted the straight-frame because I grew up riding BMX bikes and it looked more like what I'm used to. I...

    How common are rattles, buzzes, and other noises on ebikes?

    With all the brands and models of ebikes out there, I'm curious about how common these noises are across all brands. I recently bought two Lectric XP2.0s and the step through model makes a rattling/buzzing sound that I believe is coming from the fender vibrating due to vibrations being passed...

    My XP 2.0 arrived today and I’m hesitant to open the box because…

    Correct. They are not in the habit of replacing entire bikes. Unless there is a major issue like frame damage, they will send a million parts if needed to fix a problem. Before buying from them you have to weigh what's more important to you. If a good return/exchange policy is important...

    Known Issues & Problems with Lectric eBikes Products + Help, Solutions & Fixes

    Well that sucks. Mine isn't much better. Yesterday we took the bikes out for a longer ride that included some decent hills with a very strong headwind (20mph+). The step-through made its usual rattling noises when under this load and now mine has developed a different kind of noise that...

    XP 2.0 Battery compatible with XP 3.0?

    I almost felt bad because I bought my 2.0s just a couple of weeks before they released the 3.0s. Then I remembered this and didn't feel so bad....but one of the 2.0s has an issue anyway so maybe it's just the downsides of buying a "budget" brand although for the $1200 each I paid for the...

    XP 2.0 Battery compatible with XP 3.0?

    The downsides of ordering something from the first few production runs. I've experienced this with many different types of products. The first one or two production runs almost always tend to have some issues or bugs to work out.

    Known Issues & Problems with Lectric eBikes Products + Help, Solutions & Fixes

    Any updates? This morning I had a video call with a Lectric tech. He watched the videos I made and unlike their email customer service, he said he was able to hear the noise I was talking about just fine. He immediately said that to him it sounded like the motor although he couldn't explain...

    New Xpremium in my garage

    With a little effort it can also be bent out by hand. I didn't have any tools handy at the time and I was able to bend mine out that way. I just braced my feet against the frame and pulled the guard until it bent out enough to let the derailleur shift to 7th gear.

    XP 3.0 any custom settings ideas

    Does changing the wheel size setting also correct the odometer? Mine is off by about 20%.

    Noise from rear hub when going 21mph+

    I also suspect it's a vibration based on the fact that the plastic washer between the fender and frame made it a little better even if it didn't completely eliminate it. I've been looking for a rubber washer or o-ring of a size that would fit instead of the plastic washer but so far I haven't...

    Noise from rear hub when going 21mph+

    So my saga continues.... The washer I added to the fender's mounting point did help but it didn't completely eliminate the noise. I have now spent more hours troubleshooting this problem than I have actually riding the bike. I don't think the cause of my issue is the wheel or motor. I have...

    Cool, looking forward to hearing what they have to say. It would be great if they figure it out and even better if it's the same problem I'm having and it's an easy fix!
