    Lectric XP 3 Handlebar Question

    For comparison against a stock handle bar having Xpedition. And a basic Allen set is all I used.

    E-Bike Newbies Are So Uninformed... (A Case Study)

    You said the "T" word! I find I use mine less and less. Now the "T" word seems like a extra piece of mind should something drive line fail. If I still used my ebike for my 14 mile commute the throttle would be for extra hot weather and rain. Huffing pedals in wet clothes is miserable.

    Our cat just vanished.

    We're down to 2 kitty cats now. I adopted a foster kitty many moons ago. He was the SPCA floor cat, always roaming around greeting people. They (staff) used him for puppy meets cat introductions. They would fill the puppy corral up with puppies and drop him in. He's quickly put the puppies in...

    Lectric XP 3 Handlebar Question

    I watched a video on YouTube. It was very easy to do. I'll try and get a picture of the end results up later or Saturday. I do recall the hardest part was holding the handlebars while putting the 2 allen bolts back in the stem. It took me about 15-20 minutes to flip the steering stem.

    E-Bike Newbies Are So Uninformed... (A Case Study)

    I agree. The friend is not ignorant. He's asking someone with a bit of experience to help narrow down some choices. Judging from his needs I would recommend a Globe Haul or Tern. If his budget is more limited then the good old Lectric Xpedition or Rad product. But if your model choices are...

    Wife prefers the platforms much better so they're on the Xpedition now.

    Terrible news. Will miss his knowledge and easy going attitude. RIP.

    Xpedition review.

    Wife and I did our maiden voyage today. She really likes the extra room in the passenger area. I swapped over the whole 3.0 passenger kit onto the Xpedition. I'll get a picture up soon. It was not a straight forward swap but it's safe. I need some more back to back riding to feel the difference...

    I don't know how valid this is

    They (Lectric) sent out the notice for the free brake upgrade kit awhile ago. I signed up for it back then and I'm supposed to receive the kit in October. Then, recently, they issued the "stop riding" notice that I believe is part of a voluntary recall thru the CPSC.

    Xpedition review.

    The quick release pedals that come on the Xpedition are a strong 8 out of 10. Very nice quality and easier to use that my perfect 10 pedals. I got quick release pedals for my 3.0 from Flat Bike for around $80. Welgo brand magnesium. I suspect the ones on the Xpedition are either Welgo brand or...

    Xpedition review.

    So I just unboxed my Xpedition today. So far no riding. Raining and the batteries are charging. I replaced the quick release pedals and had to tighten the chain hanger thing.

    Just purchased/received (8/25/23) a Lectric XPedition... (2 failed tubes)

    I ordered a tube set thru Lectric (on sale) when I placed my Xpedition order. I'm hoping they are pre-Slimed but time will tell when the order comes in. I've moaned about Slime inner tubes in the past because if you get a pin hole they leave a neon green racing stripe on you! Who discovered...

    If my wife knew... she'd kill me.

    My wife had a cow the first time I used the ultra-sonic cleaner for a gummed up moped carb. She calmed down after I showed her the inner container came out and was stainless steel, hence the reason it was always clean whenever she used it. She had no idea that I've been using it to clean moped...

    Would you want cost $799 for A2 folding ebike?

    That's me now, good enough. I'm not a delivery rider or commuting to work. For me a ebike is just a way to get out and explore my 'hood. Sub-$2000 and if it falls apart in the future the replacement will have more advanced and current trickle-down technology for another fair sub-$2000 price...

    Just purchased/received (8/25/23) a Lectric XPedition... (2 failed tubes)

    I have a dual battery Xpedition on the way as well. My prior (and still owned) XP 3.0 has been very reliable, with no tube issues. When Lectric gets back to you they'll make it right. I found a broken spoke (I think from the pedal when folded) and they replied the following day and sent out...

    Would you want cost $799 for A2 folding ebike?

    Sub-$1000 and it comes with a suspension post and mags. As much as I agree with Taylor57 I say enjoy it and ride it like ya stole it! Keep us posted with a update after some miles.

    Lectric Step-Thru Comfort Package?

    Seat (Lectric plush) sits on rails like normal seats. But this is a weird note to make. The co-worker I gave the plush seat to has a Addmotor with a regular, non-suspension post. When we pulled the Addmotor flat/thin seat off and went to mount the Lectric plush seat the rails required us to...

    Lectric Step-Thru Comfort Package?

    If your'e talking about the plush seat and suspension post then yes. But I never installed the seat. The quality of the seat was a 7 out 10, 10 being great, in build quality. I hate springs, they always pull thru on me. I like those Sella Royal seats from Wal Mart. I gave the, surprisingly...
