    Xp 2.0, rear tire/motor on front?

    You actually want to check the rim width. Bike tires and rims are a different beast from car & lite trucks tires. 20" bike rims don't even measure 20" anywhere on them. Some 20" bike tires measure close to 20" in outer diameter very few are going to measure exactly 20" in outer diameter. A...

    Xp 2.0, rear tire/motor on front?

    Ok, I get it. So the motor size difference on ebikes makes for much more cooling capacity on the motor. We also have so much more space on an ebike so the controller is larger to accommodate circuitry that among other things includes feedback from hall sensors in the motor that will throttle...

    Xp 2.0, rear tire/motor on front?

    Yes, you said you wanted a dual motor on your original post. I'm trying to understand better why? Just on a simple note you would need to change the controller as the Lectric controller is set up for 500w sustained with 850w peak. Adding a second motor would require at least double that...

    Xp 2.0, rear tire/motor on front?

    Not practical. Two different widths since the rear dropout is wider to handle the gears (freewheel). What are you trying to accomplish? Knowing that I should be able to steer you in the right direction.

    Ioniq 5 and XP 2.0

    For sure will fit laying down with rear seat folded. The bike standing up folded is tipsy anyway. I've always set it on the very sturdy derailleur guard after bending the brake disc once after setting it on that side.

    Pet trailer attachment on XP 2.0 step-thru?

    A through axle drop out has holes, the XP has slots and uses a bolt on axle style that is compatible with standard bicycle trailers. The standard hitch that comes with standard trailers has a 10mm hole in it that you will be able to remove the left axle nut on the bike then slide the hitch on...

    Is it possible to attach a doggie cart to an XP Step Through?

    Standard bicycle trailers come with "hitch" attached with the left axle bolt. Then the trailer tongue attaches to the hitch for easy removal. Since the power cord comes out the right side, it's not going to interfere with installation.

    XPremium tannus armour inserts

    Generally, a flat tube with no obvious reason that shows up just after a tire service is due to a pinched tube. Either tube pinched between the rim and tire bead, or the edge of the tannus and tire. The tube has to be carefully spread inside the tire, very difficult to do when dealing with a...

    Second battery plug and play

    Bunch of these available on AliExpress. For a Heavy Duty version, check Area 13 Ebikes (perviously know as Bolton bikes). I have the one from Area 13 using a Lectric 10ah and a 15ah Unit Pack Power batteries. Works seamlessly. It first uses power from the battery with the most charge/higher...

    New Display

    Hmmm, you posted to the Lectric brand thread and the assumption is you have a Lectric XP, Lectric lite, or Lectric deluxe. If you have a different brand you'll likely get better information on the thread for that brand. There is a thread that covers DIY bikes and some of the generic brands...

    New Display

    Generic displays are usually tied into the controller and sold as a set. Since the controller is installed into the bike's top tube you would need to find a controller the same size. If you're open to mounting the controller anywhere then it's pretty easy to find. Post the reason why you...

    XPremium tannus armour inserts

    I agree, I also had better experience with Flat out. Home Depot has a great price on the equipment version that works great on fat tires like the Lectric XP has. Not so good on skinny standard width bicycle tires though

    XPremium tannus armour inserts

    Haven't had any flats last 3k miles since my pain in the @$$ tannus install. Tried slime and others before and didn't like not being able to get a patch to hold if the slime didn't fix the issue, something in it that prevents the patches from staying on. I would suggest tannus, and a decent...

    No Power

    Error 10 is a communication receive error. The original poster is not using a meter that would not help with a communication error anyway since it would be a binary signal. There is no specific (receive from) indication but I would suspect it would be the cable connection between the display...

    Will XP2.0 load through Subaru Outback rear hatch?

    When standing upright, then the wheels will let the bike roll. It is awkward since the 2.0 is over 60lbs. Had the lite been available and knowing what I know after 6500 miles I would get the lite.

    Will XP2.0 load through Subaru Outback rear hatch?

    They tip over standing upright. I put two in the back of my Kia soul

    Will XP2.0 load through Subaru Outback rear hatch?

    You can definitely fit it in. The folded bike can lay on it's side an is more stable on it's side anyway. Peddles fold up and there is a derailuier guard to protect the bike on it's side

    Mid-drive conversion on XP (or Lite)? BBSHD

    I think it may make more sense to get a real MTB that folds. https://flatbike.com/product/809/ It will take the standard BBSHD 68-74mm instead of the 100mm that the Lectric XP bottom bracket requires. The stock Lectric battery bms prevents you from using the full amps that a 1000w BBSHD can...

    Cadence sensor/no-pedal mod ?

    While you're at it dual batteries might be helpful. I have this that allowed me to mount a huge 20ah second battery to the rear rack while still keeping the OEM battery. https://area13ebikes.com/collections/batteries/products/dual-battery-parallel-connector Good source for other cool ebike...
