    Top speed with throttle-only is 20 MPH regardless of PAS 1-5. Top speed with PAS 5 and pedaling like crazy in 7th gear on stock 11-28T freewheel is 28 MPH. Rider weight, wind, tire pressure, battery charge level, etc. can all affect top speed.

    1. Is this 10 total miles throttle-only? Or are you pedaling too? 2. Do you see approximately ~54 volts from a fresh fully charged battery? 3. What's the ending voltage? (40-42v?) 4. When accelerating from a stop, do you see the amps fluctuating from a max of 20a to a min of 1a and everything...

    How about an electric bell/horn? It would probably be louder than a mechanical bell/horn.

    I haven't covered up anything so that's likely the dead giveaway.

    Good idea. The swagtron is much cheaper and will be fine for a mile or two.

    I almost wasn't allowed on the CTA train (the "L") here in Chicago. The station attendants said ebikes and escooters are not allowed. It was also rush hour and during that period most bikes are not allowed on the train. The only exception is folding bikes. That's when I mentioned to them that...

    I met a guy with a fat tire mountain bike that rides through the winter and he advises against hydraulic brakes in cold weather due to the effects of low temperatures and viscosity. The brake fluids can freeze, the seals can leak, and braking force can decreases. He said he'll trust good ole...

    I need to get some better riding gear then I'll give it a shot. The snow finally stopped for today! It was mostly soft and slushy but it's still pretty cold 30*.

    What's the difference between 11-28T vs 11-34T? I'm going to pick one up too. Thanks for posting the link.

    Exactly, just do your research and practice a little common sense when it comes to these things. Machines wear out over time (even prematurely) and that's just normal. Today I woke up to snow outside! No more fun rides 😭

    Okay so by now you should know that any manufacturer or OEM will never cover anything towards warranty besides how you received your product out of the box. Legally they will fight you tooth and nail to say NO that is not covered because YOU modified it. Basically most warranties are hot garbage...

    Regarding the use of trailers here's my email to Lectric: Hi, I wanted to get a little clarification on the use of a cargo trailer with the XP. Are there any implications or concerns from using one? Would this impact or invalidate the warranty? I understand there's a potential for motor...

    It really does fit the XP well and it can hold a decent amount of groceries for sure. I enjoy participating in forums because in real life hardly anyone shares the same interests as me. But here we've got a community of like minded people which is very cool. Sure no problem I'll get back to...

    I finally got my cargo trailer all setup and ready to go. It took a little bit of elbow grease and patience to get it just the way I wanted. I assembled it, used Loctite Blue on all the threaded fittings, aired up the tires to 40 PSI, and attached it to my XP. Overall I think it looks and works...

    I'm considering a 14ah battery with Samsung 35e cells and 30a BMS. Would you say these are better than the LG M26 cells? Or worse because of the lower 8a max continuous current vs the LG 10a? The Lectric LG battery provides 40a and the 14ah Samsung 35e battery provides 32a. The Lectric XP...

    As I was leaving work I couldn't resist this shot. These in-ground lights are pretty cool and it started drizzling! I swear I love the Fulton Market neighborhood more than I do my own. If only I could afford an apartment here.

    RobK if you're reading this do you know what cells the Lectric LG battery is using? I removed one of the covers from one of my batteries and from what my eyes can tell from the color of the cells (blue) they may be LG M26 18650 2600mAh 10A LGGBM261865 cells. Nominal voltage on this cell is...
