Weelllll... I think it'll work, but it ain't ideal. The 70gal tub is an enormous monster, but it's actually just about the right size. The XPremium fits fairly snugly. I thought I could set the tub on end and just roll the bike into it. I saw a video of somebody else doing that. But I...

Yeah $700 is a steal for a basically-new XPremium! I bought mine with 130mi on the clock and the seller wouldn't budge from $1300. @JoJoEd can you post a link to the youtoob video? I'm a bit tall for the bike, 6'4", and I've put an extra-long seat stem on it so I have enough leg room. But...

I just looked at bins at Walmart this afternoon. There's one (HART 50gal I think?) that claims to be 22" wide, but that's the OUTSIDE width. Inner width is closer to 18". I'll check the tote at HD, thanks @PBrown77! And I agree, some 1/4" plywood in the bottom is a darn good idea. Hoisting...

My XPremium comes pre-Slimed. I've never used Slime and I'm not quite sure how to work with it. I don't think "Slimed" = "never have a flat." It avoids some, but not all. So how do you repair it? Won't the Slime leak out of the puncture and goop up the tube & inside the tire? How well does...

That's what I assumed. I thought I woke up the rear battery too, but I did it by feel & didn't check the LED indicator. Might have missed it. I don't see any way to tell if both batteries are alive, using the screen anyway. You can get your power bar and your voltage, but that doesn't...

I just took my XPremium on a fairly flat 20-mile ride. Fully charged, PAS3 the whole way. At the end, the power bar was down to about 30%!? 42.1V. I'm hoping I just goofed in turning on one of the batteries. Didn't think to check until I'd already charged it for a while. I don't actually...

You got that right! I bought a lightly-used XPremium so I loaded it when I bought it 2 days ago. It's a beast, no doubt. Especially since I'm in my late 60's. But do-able. I didn't even remove the batteries. Nah, just an old Iowa farm boy. Strong like bull. 😄 The biggest...

You're a braver man than I am, Gunga Din. After my FIRST trip over the handlebars, it took me a while to get back on the horse, and I still feel a bit uncomfortable. I was very lucky that I automatically tucked as I sailed through the air, and landed on my back/side (hence the busted ribs). I...

I'm thinking of getting an ebike. I have a 25-yr-old recumbent that I haven't been riding much recently, and I'm 66, so I'm thinking an ebike might be a good answer. The original impetus for this idea is a charity fundraiser ride that I'd like to participate in this summer. 2 days, 150 miles...

I only weigh 180lb, but I'm 6'4"`. So I have similar leg extension issues! I had to set the seat pretty high, but I was comfortable on the Lectric XPremium. Yeah this is a leap of faith for me too. I like the idea of an ebike, but I don't like that I have to get one with such a high range...

Thought about it, but ... I couldn't use a front hub drive because most of the weight is on the rear wheel. Bafang rear 26" wheels are in the $700-$800 range, without battery/controller/etc., mids aren't cheap either. By the time you get all the parts &etc, you end up with a spit & baling-wire...

The Evelo Dash is a bit over my budget and under my range needs. Aug delivery doesn't work either -- the original reason for getting an ebike was to join a fundraiser ride this summer, 150 miles in 2 days. (And similar long rides in the future.) There's no way I can do 75 miles a day on my...

I'm looking at ebikes, and I went to Lectric to ride the XP3.0 and XPremium. The XP3.0 felt good, decent handling, but I HATE HATE HATE the cadence sensor on the hub drive. I don't like that it suddenly slams into gear and practically dumps you off the back, and I also don't like that the hub...
