Wow those tires look awesome and like they belong on the XP! Much more sporty and less off-roady! I will definitely go this route when it's time to upgrade my tires. I love the reflective safety ring and puncture resistance, that's pretty much the perfect tire for a commuter. Glad you posted this.

Ha wow that's awesome! Glad to see another owner indeed. Not sure if you were aware of my past post but my Nova was stolen from the train station in my town. I was careless and have no one to blame but myself. It was a great "cheap" and light folding bike. My first. I love that you have two...

Alright so I'm going to bring a little history into the mix. Back in 2012 I wanted a lightweight folder. Something I could bring with me on the "L" train here in Chicago because folders were the only bikes technically allowable past rush hour restrictions. I needed to get to my university and I...

😒 Hm... seems awfully quiet in here lately. I can hear the crickets and see tumbleweed flying by in the wind. I guess I'll just keep the ball rolling. So tonight I had to go on another ride however this time it wasn't strictly for fun. Of course riding my XP is always fun and makes me smile but...

Just watched this old but informative video on 48v vs 52v ebike batteries general comparison. Apparently this can be an upgrade path for our XPs. Possibly a little more speed and range without the need to upgrade the controller. Although I don't know if this would work with those such as myself...

Felt like going for a ride tonight. It was cold and foggy but I really needed the fresh air to clear my head. I swear even when I'm trying to stay in the shadows this bike ends up attracting attention. I met and chatted with a guy in a dark alley. Scary but fun. I would eventually like to...

I can admit I was wrong for jumping the gun on you and expecting an explanation to why you stated what you did. I later realized I was impatient and rude so I apologized for that. You're not the bad guy man, I/we appreciate your help. But usually when someone does make a (bold) statement other...

Thanks for finding this. That's the battery RobK is talking about. It's slightly different than the other one posted. I have more research to do but I was ready to pull the trigger on the larger capacity battery but RobK made me think twice. I say we bring things down a notch and keep the...

I'm not familiar with the Samebike LO26 so I had to Google it. One Gearbest site listed it as 500W and others list it as 350W. However, most list it as 48V. Isn't that the more important metric? (48V system, motor wattage just tells us how much "work" that particular motor can do.) Maximum...

Blanket statement, offers no explanation for reasoning, offers no alternative whatsoever. Nothing. C'mon man. Lectric likely purchased "their batteries" from the Chinese just like they did these XP ebikes with their names slapped on them then sold them to us at a markup. Only value we get is...

That looks great! Both lock and chain from Abus! And of course we gotta secure our seatpost somehow. Also, I received my head and tail lights and I have to say for $60 these are awesome! The craftsmanship and construction feels solid and of very good quality. The lights are indeed very bright...

On my ride from work last night I did just this exactly how you described it. It was 2am and I had to ride past a sketchy neighborhood so I crank it up to PAS 5 with P08 set to 45 KPH (28 MPH). All I had to do was pedal steadily and the motor would stay on. My battery did warm up ever so...

Oh okay I thought maybe you were the first guinea pig to try one of those larger capacity batteries from AliExpress. I also bought a second battery from Lectric. I'm glad I did!

Did you buy from Lectric or from AliExpress? Also what capacity?

Besides the structural aspect of a rack mounted seat there's also the issue of balancing the bike upright and securing my son in. A trailer would probably be best as I won't have to balance the bike while getting my son in and out of the seat. Not to mention the trailer will have more room for...

Nice! Finally we have some data on the OEM controller. I think we need to start a dedicated thread for this as it will get buried and lost in this one. It will be a great source for those that choose to go this route and begin hacking their XPs. I'm definitely looking forward to your new...

Here's something I just thought about. That handle is made of aluminum just like the rest of the frame. That aluminum is softer than the hardened steel chain so a they could technically cut that and steal the bike. It would ruin the integrity and strength of the frame but it would be a lot...

So I've got a different topic I've been wanting to bring to light. The charger Lectric sent me works fine however the AC cable just doesn't securely fit into the power brick. It fits, but as an electronic device goes it just doesn't feel snug and right. If moved,it can easily lose connection...

Nice! I just watched that video. LockPickingLawyer has some really great videos and Kryptonite has some good locks (once you get up in price). Man my mind has changed on bike security and locks. After having my folder stolen I don't mind spending the few extra bucks to deter a thief from trying...

I'd like to get that one too. A bit pricey but it seems the same model can be purchased from a different seller for slightly less. I'm going to get another u-lock and braided steel cable for the wheels.
