    Known Issues & Problems with Lectric eBikes Products + Help, Solutions & Fixes

    Nothing you can do about it because you got a locked bike. Maybe if lectric is feeling kind they may allow you to send in your controller and display and reprogram it for you. If not then you're probably out of luck. Just remember, the bike is still fun regardless if it doesn't work correctly...

    Lectric XP

    Not many ebikes here on our craigslist. I'm not sure but I believe charlotte is the home for purist cyclists lol. You only see Lyra wearing folks riding road bikes around here. Besides, Like I have said numerous times, the bike itself is fine, The issue is the locking of the settings. Although...

    Accessories for your XP

    https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FC9NRRR/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 This is for a headlight/taillight combo. Uses its own rechargeable batteries,not the onboard battery. Even the lowest setting on this $13 light is brighter than the light that is on mine.

    I do not dislike the bike at all. Only for what the company did to those of us who actually care about the settings without any warning. Even in its locked state, it will satisfy most people. I'm hoping that those of us who have been complaining loudly, that it will enact change at lectric and...

    Lectric XP

    Yeah, this isn't a knob they changed, they changed the fundamental programming of the electric bike. It's like buying a new computer and getting it home and find out instead of them putting windows 10 on it, they put dos 5.1 on it. Will it boot, sure, will it do practically anything you wanted...

    Lectric XP

    I'm not saying I do need everything unlocked. I think they all should be unlocked because we were not warned they changed their settings and that is a very big deal. but I had a few specific settings that I wanted which was in a big part, why I bought the bike, to begin with. The bike itself had...

    Lectric XP

    Some yes, Some no. See the problem is they allowed it from the start. If they had done as some other manufacturers have done which is to hide all the other options, then no, If people didn't know it existed they probably wouldn't have cared. Word of mouth is huge for business. It was known very...

    Sooo. Lectric finally got back with me. It's not exactly the outcome I wanted but I guess it will have to do. They offered for me to send them my controller and display and they will reprogram it for me. Guess I get to start ripping out some guts of the bike this weekend :(

    Lectric XP

    Lol most people figure my tag name probably came from Star trek or Superman comics. It actually came from an episode from the bionic woman. When she went up against the Doomsday computer. It was playing in the background on my very first login to the internet. It's been the name I have used from...

    Lectric XP

    I agree. I have no problem with them deciding to lock the settings down for future-proofing it. The problem is they didn't tell us or give us an opportunity to say, you're changing what? Ok, cancel my order and issue a refund. That would have been the ethical thing to do. The great customer...

    Who determines how nitpicky something is before its a real issue? Just curious. If I buy a black bicycle and get delivered a pink bicycle, Is it nitpicking that I didn't get the color I ordered? I have stated multiple times that the bike itself is nice. It's just that some of the features...

    Lectric XP

    Yep. As I said, Its EXTREMELY easy to change a setting and you do not realize you did it. All of that though, could have been avoided by either A) put in a sheet of paper in the box that has the settings defaults or B) email everyone the digital copy of that paper when they ship out the bike...

    Lectric XP

    I didn't need a folding bike, to begin with. This one just appeared to be a good deal. Don't get me wrong, It is a good deal and it will work for lots of people just with the price alone. I look at multiple factors when purchasing almost anything but above all else, my number 1 requirement is...

    Lectric XP

    ehhh, I don't think I agree. The company has been around for a while, they were selling longboards and such prior. So it's not that they are completely new to the business. I still say they did it to stop the calls about people screwing up their settings. Its EXTREMELY easy to change a setting...

    Lectric XP

    I'm still waiting for them to answer my question. Their answer determines my next step. Unfortunately, I already received the bike or I would have canceled the order. If they want to refuse taking it back, anyone in the charlotte NC area want to buy a so very lightly used Lectric XP?

    Lectric XP

    Yep, thats the way mine came. The wiring harness on the wrong side of the headlight. Oddly it was the first thing I noticed when unfolding the bike.

    Lectric XP

    Minor, To a point, yes. These are settings you are probably going to change once and leave it. but the changes can produce a much better overall more enjoyable experience for the rider. This in my opinion, is a huge ethical issue. These settings were deliberately locked and the people not...

    Lectric XP

    I do partially buy that notion. However, from what I read of all the settings, only 1 setting that I could see, could be insurance-related and that's the low voltage cutoff. You dont want people running their battery so low that it catches on fire. Everything else I saw if abused could only...

    Lectric XP

    I don't think anyone has said it was a bad bike. You do get a lot for the price. Its the principle of what they have done here that is the concern. They already had a precedent that all the settings could be changed and then they intentionally locked them out and didn't let anyone know they...
