    Clueless Slime question

    Slim will prevent most thorn/nail/splinter caused flats. There may be a little pressure lost as some air can leaks out before the slime does it's job. Depending on how hazardous your paths are, your risk tolerance, and distance traveled from your start point (you can push the bike with a flat...

    Actual range of XPremium?

    Pg 46 of your manual says to push the button on each battery to take it out of "sleep mode" and or to activate the led battery bar charge level. So it is likely you only pressed it on the main battery on the downtube.

    Lectric XP - Correct Threading Die

    Don't you have a local bike shop to take the old and new fork to? Probably charge less than the cost of the die....

    What will it take to convert a 2.0 to accommodate 4” tires? Post links if you got them!

    Check out the 20" tires on RAD Ebikes site. They have a couple street tread in stock that'll work. They are big enough to get tires Ebike rated that are not available elsewhere. I'm thinking they are 3.25" to 3.5" but with street tread.

    What will it take to convert a 2.0 to accommodate 4” tires? Post links if you got them!

    If you're going from 4" to 3" the stock rims and all will work. I put the Kenda Kraze 3x20 with street tread on my stock XP. Much nicer ride on asphalt, concrete and still does gravel well. Not so good on dry beach sand but ok on damp.

    Xp2.0 what's a good derailleur replacement?

    Depends on why you want to replace it. If it is broken beyond repair I bought this as it allows you to run 7-9 speed Shimano cassette/freewheel and can also handle up to a 45 tooth granny gear not to mention some other benefits over the Tourney derailleur that came with the bike. Great deal at...

    What will it take to convert a 2.0 to accommodate 4” tires? Post links if you got them!

    I would put the Kenda K-Rad or CST Big Boat road tires available from Rad Ebikes one is a 3" the other is 3.3" road/multi use. So much easier than replacement of fork, axle etc

    What will it take to convert a 2.0 to accommodate 4” tires? Post links if you got them!

    So if your front fork is too narrow for the tire you purchased then either switch to a slightly narrower tire or...... Replace front fork, front axle (because the drop out will be wider) add the correct width spacer to the axle. The front wheel bearings are loose ball cup and cone so you will...

    What will it take to convert a 2.0 to accommodate 4” tires? Post links if you got them!

    So it seems like if you could have stayed with a 20x4 instead of the 4.5" it would have just barely fit without any other modifications? While riding and turning hard the tire will flex laterally and more so on a narrower rim than wider. That lateral flex might rub on the fork without 2-3mm...

    What will it take to convert a 2.0 to accommodate 4” tires? Post links if you got them!

    You might be able to just get tires. Bike tire size width is just an estimate based on what RIM width the MFG of the tire feels the rim width that would be optimal for the tire design. The important size is the 20". Just because you buy a 4" wide tire doesn't mean it will be 4" wide on the...

    Actual range of XPremium?

    Good info. I should have spent a little more time thinking through my previous response I'm using a Lectric XP extended range battery on my Bafang bike and I was assuming the premium uses it. Totally forgot about the dual batteries. If anyone is interested here is the link for that review...

    Actual range of XPremium?

    Doing the math 12mph on PAS 1 for 75 miles = 6.25 hours in the saddle. I ride 3 times a week @ 3 hrs each ride 30 miles with chamois shorts and it's about all my sensitive areas can handle. If I was on a recumbent with a "real seat" it's so much more comfortable and 6.25 hrs wouldn't be so...

    Xpremium: Power tap for accessories

    I'm at the beach (FL Gulf) too. Haven't had any issues with wago connections corroding as old as three years ago. I would have to admit when living in SD California it seemed like I had trouble with corrosion. It's counterintuitive since one would think a drier climate would have less. Maybe...

    Xpremium: Power tap for accessories

    As a retired Electronics Tech I can't help myself but to fiddle with things in my 3 ebikes. The biggest hassle is all the different power connectors. If only there was a universal easy to use connector that would accept a mixed range of different gauge and styles wire, handle up to 30...

    Xp 2.0 chain size?

    Sorry, no such thing as a 20x4 vs 20x3 hub. You're referring to tire sizes. You can fit both tires on the same wheel if the rim width falls within a certain range. I'm running 20 x 3.25 tires on my XP using OEM wheels. Here is a link for the quick links also known as missing links...

    Xp 2.0 chain size?

    Dead battery and a broken chain on the same ride? Does bad luck follow you around? :( Carry the tool and some quick links. The tool so you can make sure there are inner links on both ends after the chain breaks, then connect with the quick links. Have to carry the tool either way and the...

    Xp 2.0 chain size?

    Since it is a hub motor the bike will ride without the chain on throttle in the unlikely event that it breaks. Mid drive bikes do have chain issues but no worries with your hub motor. Hub motor ebike chains are the least stressed chains when compared to any other type of bicycle on the planet...

    Need suggestions for tire replacement

    I like my Kenda Kraze that used to be available from Rad Ebikes. They're super quiet on the road and have lasted a long time. They're narrow 3.25 but still fit on the stock Lectric XP rims. I couldn't find any on a quick google search but maybe dig a little deeper for them. The Kenda K-Rad...
