    Need to carry two bikes in a Tesla

    I can barely fit two in my KIA Soul, one in the back cargo area, one in the back seat. Both folded up, handle bar stems pulled from bike (not just folded down), seat & seat post pulled too. IDK if this helps you any but maybe you can pull of the same with one in the trunk and one in the back...

    Tubeless Tire

    Slime or I like Flatout a bit better since it doesn't harden over time, just add a little more once annually. Tannus Armour liners look good too. Going tubeless requires new wheel sets (rims, spokes, tires) all compatible with tubeless set up, IMHO it's not a financially logical thing to do on...

    Ultimate DIY Milk Crate Storage System Upgrade 2.0?

    Depends on what you are carrying. Anything electronic especially with a display can be damaged with strong magnets. Metal objects can be magnetized or de-magnetized (tools) with unintended results. I also doubt it would be secure enough crossing gutters, speed bumps, curbs, driveways etc. The...

    Ultimate DIY Milk Crate Storage System Upgrade 2.0?

    My favorite cargo straps are hook and loop straps with a metal buckle 24" and 36" length. I found that using bungee straps allowed for too much jiggling around and eventually things slipping out Get more than enough here...

    Has anyone converted to a skinny rim/tire setup?

    Not something that is simple. The spacing on dropouts are wider to accommodate the fatter axle, rim, tire, motor. You would have to replace them all and fabricate some type of shim on each side of the wheel to keep it centered in the dropouts. If you want a economical hybrid style and bike...

    If it is on the top tube/battery hinge then there is a small black allen screw that engages the little sliding lock on silver latch. The picture shows the plain side sticking up to engage the slider lock once the hinge & latch is closed. The opposite/underneath side can be accessed with a 3mm...

    Just me? So hard to pull trigger!

    I have the standard bike and pretty bad hip issues. I'm not able to swing my leg over the seat and rear of the bike but I'm easily able to pull my foot and leg in front of the seat up over the top tube. The stand over is actually pretty low at only 24". If you can lift your foot 24" above the...

    Anyone with info on Ariel Rider Rideal model ?

    Really depends on the type of riding you plan to do. A 750w geared hub motor as the Ariel Rideal has will get you up hills on either pedal assist or just throttle. If you are just riding on roads, sidewalks, groomed dirt bike paths then having a suspension fork is not that important. If you...

    Your local bike shop can support the xp like any other bike. It is like any other bike with the addition of a motor and display. If you have a motor or display issue, contact Lectric for a replacement.

    Just me? So hard to pull trigger!

    I have about 2500 miles on my XP and live in Florida. Pretty flat except for the many bridges over waterways to simulate hills. The XP does exceptional at doing everything good, no one thing on the bike is bad, no one thing on the bike is better than good. I highly recommend it as a...

    Lectric XP Programming and Function Complete Guide

    The original 2018 xp settings all could be changed but too many users were changing settings they didn't understand causing way too many customer support issues. Levi & Robbie chose to lock users from settings that might cause user issues & keep it simpler for their support staff. Since settings...

    Lectric XP Programming and Function Complete Guide

    Got super excited about being able to increase PAS levels to 9. I find PAS 3 is too aggressive but PAS 2 is too whimpy when the battery is 75-100%. Once battery drops to 75% then for me PAS 3 is about right. So I went to my settings to change P05 and set it for 9 levels but it is locked at 5...

    If you ordered from the 8/20/2020 batch, you might have been given a lowered ah battery.

    Do some research on lg vs samsung 18650 batteries. These cells are used in banks to make a wide variety of bike batteries. Both publish storage ranges 3300mAh to 3500. Samsung under reports in their published specs but when tested they actually over perform most other brands (including lg)...

    Throttle but no pedal assist

    Agree, I double checked my manual and P10 set to 1 will enable throttle only. Way easier than unplugging the cadence sensor.

    Throttle but no pedal assist

    Ditto, disconnect the cadence sensor located just to the right of the left crank arm. Trace the wire coming from it to the connector.

    Anyone with info on Ariel Rider Rideal model ?

    The thing that concerned me was it had only a 500 watt controller with a 750 watt motor. Idk if they are using a 500 watt nominal with 750 peak motor and listing it as a 750 watt or just a mistake in the listing. Sure would like to see better gearing than the 6 speed too, my lectric xp has a 7...
