    3rd party source of compatible parts

    Well, I ask for two different reasons: 1. Most people are inside warranty. After warranty, it would be nice to know there were 3rd party sources for all parts. 2. I don't actually own a Lectric bike. ;) I own a bike with the same frame, controller, and display, made by an OEM. Probably...

    3rd party source of compatible parts

    Anyone know of online sources of replacement parts? I know Letric will provide some, but I am looking for a 3rd party source for things like motor, brake, and chain related compatible parts.

    Not riding again until I install mirrors

    So, the cheapo round mirrors that I thought I needed to replace - are working great now. I only use one, on the left. Once I took a cue from here and mounted them Below the bars, I have a good view now.

    Swapped battery for first time - proper orientation of lock pin

    Understood, at the time of insertion. But for storage, is it ok for the battery to be stored with the pin in?

    Trying to figure out which ebike would work the best for me

    You should read anything here on the bikes you wind up being interested in, and then - hit YouTube. I did about a month of lots of YouTube video watching. When you see someone review a bike, talk about the pros and cons, and actually see it in action, it helps with the decision.

    Swapped battery for first time - proper orientation of lock pin

    I ordered a spare battery, and today I did a swap for the first time. Fortunately, the new battery went in and the bike powered up. But, the battery I pulled out: what is the proper orientation of the pin when out of the bike. Pin in or out? Does it matter? Thank you.

    Would love to have a PA setting dedicated to starting

    I tried to get my wife to try the bike. She tried, but she got off very quickly. She was very spooked by the acceleration, with PA1, when starting out. I Do think there is room for improvement with that, and maybe other eBike manufacturers have improved it already. My bike is basically a...

    Are Flat Out, Slime and Stans a scam?

    I would no longer trust someone saying Slime and Flat Out are scams. Are they going to work in every case? No. But the data is definitely there that they legitimately prevent lots of fails.

    SHOW us YOUR PIX here .... Odd, WeiRd ,UnUSuAl or EyE CaTchIng things from your rides

    Yeah. :) But when I approach hills, I'm not allowing the bike to fully pull me. I am pedaling, with an assist, but no throttle. And that hill looks like some serious pedaling for a guy like me who is overweight and pedaling a pretty heavy bike.

    The hill looks like, um, a challenge. ;) For me, anyway. I might need an oxygen tank after that.

    First ride in legit heat

    No - I realize in peak summer that is a mild day. But just relatively speaking, this is the first legit hot feeling day in my region. We get into 90s and 100s here.

    First ride in legit heat

    Spring here has been up and down, and even when it is mild, it has been 60's ish in the evening - sometimes cooler. Today was my first ride in real heat. It is currently 85 here, with a heat advisory for it going higher later. Zero cool in the air. Feeling very hot out. Was a glorious ride...
