I don't want to go over 20 MPH but yes the Lite is locked as Class 2. I suspect the motor can't handle higher speeds for an extended time. My issue was with the on off nature of the pedal assist. Think of it like your motorcycle only had two positions on throttle. You'd go wide open throttle...

Be careful when folding it because if the battery isn't locked in it'll fall out. The last thing you want is a lithium battery hitting the concrete right in front of your face 🤣

A little less than a month but I ordered before they were shipping them out. On the website it will tell you the approximate wait time. I'm sure it's different depending on your country.

I meant the pedal assist setting (1-5) does not change the amount of power outputted by the motor. It is either on or off. There is no variable power. The pedal assist level sets the speed where the motor cuts off. I'm guessing this is normal. I emailed customer service, but they didn't...

I got a reply to my detailed email explaining my questions about the pedal assist and if it was supposed to work that way. He didn’t even acknowledge my questions but sent me a generic copy/ paste email listing how to get into the settings menu and what each setting does. The funny thing is...

I didn’t watch the whole thing but it was funny. His replies to comments are funny as well

One day I'm going to get a mid drive... I hear starting price is about $3500 for one that's decent

It's just kind of abrupt to have it kick in full power then kick off. I'll get used to it but it seems a bit abusive to the poor motor that is getting turned on and off but I guess Lectric knows what they're doing. I emailed them so maybe there's at least a way to tone the max power down a...

I found out that this is similar on other brands as well. I hope no one takes my post as bashing Lectric because I really do like my XP Lite. I was just curious because I've did lots of research and I didn't have a clue about this. I was worried maybe something malfunctioned. it's just going...

I just saw this part. No this is not how my Rad works. There is no max for each PA level. Maybe this is normal for Lectric then?

I know the Rad has gears but this isn't it. I'm talking about the current going to the motor. On lower pedal assist levels the Rad never gives full power to the motor. The power output is directly based on the PA level. The amount of power is consistent while I'm pedaling all the way up to...

Okay I rode it some more and at night. The headlight is useless for riding at night. I couldn't even see potholes in the road right in front of me. Luckily it dropped in and out of that pothole like a champ and kept going. I lost my grip for a second because I wasn't expecting it but quickly got...

I just got my Lectric XP Lite yesterday. I love the bike but I’m trying to figure out if the pedal assist is working correctly. My only other E-bike is a RadCity 5, and it does something totally different with pedal assist. On my Lectric the pedal assist level acts as a speed limiter just as...

People always say but you know it's possible someone could go 50 MPH on a pedal bike. The thing is CAN YOU go 50 MPH or can 99% of bike riders go 50 MPH. Many people on E-bikes would be lucky to go 20 MPH on a good day with a regular bike. The problem is when you give that person a motor that...

Not too bad. Some type of mid drive with the battery in the water bottle? It looks perfect for a city ride

It looks like a cross between a city bike and a mountain bike with a banana seat... I'm guessing the battery is under that thing. That redefines the term "Hot seat" 🤣

Well heck if I'd known that I would have spent the extra $9,200 on a Specialized E-bike instead of wasting money on the Lectric XP Lite 🤣

Also I thought it be good to share this video. He's talking about the regular XP and not the Lite version but two tips he gives apply. Watch when you take the battery out because it will slide out fast. The key can be damaged by the pedals if you're not careful when folding. He rambles on in...

Okay I went for a short ride. Traffic was a bit heavy so I'm going to wait till later tonight for a longer ride. It will also give me a chance to see how well the headlight and taillight work. One thing I really didn't like and I guess I'll have to get used to is how the pedal assist levels...

Many of the big makers still keep parts for their older bikes. I'm sure if you went with someone like Lectric or Rad you would be fine. Hub motors can easily be replaced but mid drives I'm not sure maybe proprietary? Most e-bikes now use batteries with 18650 cells so even if it's a proprietary...
