FYI but doubtful you'll get caught, you are converting the bike to a moped under legal definition. Cop sees you're going over 20mph without peddling, busted lol. Some States treat mopeds without any regulations anyway so no worries if you live in one of those.

Since you're on the fence and asking this question I will assume that you are not a serious or aggressive cyclist. You will likely appreciate the convenience of the step thru, ease of getting on and off the bike, ability to stack the rear rack with cargo, and comfort of the clearance at a stop...

Oh, and your insurance if you have coverage will have a $1000 deductible that won't cover the cost of the bike after depreciation. Sorry, live in a high theft area so been down that road a few times, I'm a bit jaded.

I wouldn't do it unless it was required under local ordinance. Waste of money doesn't help recovery. Record the serial number, keep the invoice proving purchase and if it's stolen it is doubtful anyone but you will care. The police have better things to do and won't bother to enter a...

25.4mm at the clamp 22.2mm at the rest. Look close at the clamp area and you'll see that it flairs larger under the clamp. I have the XP 1.0 and I'm pretty sure all models are the same. Most bmx bars are different so you're looking at a bit of a hunt. Most modifications to bmx end up...

There is no ground fault. The tingle you feel is static electricity generated by the high voltage lines. The slight difference in electrical potential between your body vs the bike allows for a static charge to move across the conductor that is your metal brake lever. I suspect that it was an...

1/32 is such a tiny amount that it is just a slight difference in how the axle is sitting in the dropouts. If the calipers aren't perfect center, you can get slight rubbing just fixing a flat tire. YouTube videos are available for explaining how to adjust calipers. No need to disassemble...

Search YouTube for "bafang BBS installation" and watch a few videos on how to do it. There is a few versions of the BBS, bbs01, bbs02 and bbshd. The BBShd is a little more expensive and can handle higher amps but in my opinion the 01 or 02 are plenty reliable and the HD only needed if you want...

Mid-drive pedals do not lock up. Rider can pedal anytime, can "freewheel" or coast without pedaling. If there is a throttle, then pedaling is optional under throttle as well. Everything works the same from the riders perspective. Motor assistance when PAS is set to 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,8,10 but not...

Of course the XP being 60+ lbs is no fun at all pedaling without power...

No, you can pedal just fine with no power. The bike I built is only 43lbs (20lb bike + 16lbs batteries+ 7lb motor. using dual Lectric batteries and I ride about 25-75 miles a day 5 days a week. About 1/3 under no power so I can keep in shape.

Ok, so I would replace your bottom bracket with a bafang BBS mid drive motor since it is an all in one controller & motor. Then you wouldn't need to mount a second controller that is needed for the front motor. Use the bafang as your primary motor since it is twice the efficiency and max speed...

Hmmm, I have a 1.0 and it has 3500 miles on it, added a second battery to my 1.0, built a mid-drive motor bike with 5000 miles on it. So fairly experienced with ebikes. Trying to figure out what results/motivation you are hoping for by adding a front motor. There are a number of factors to...

YouTube is a great source to learn how to service the "bicycle parts" of your ebike. Search "Park Tool" to learn all adjustments, spoke replacement, brake pads, cables, gears, freewheel replacement, chain, etc … For ebike diy just search "ebike" then name the part, motor, controller, display...

Amazon is only good for bicycle parts. All electronics are available through AliExpress, battery, controller, motor or motor/wheel assembly, connectors, etc. Just may take awhile coming from China. If you put in the brand of bike you have and part name it is likely to come up. I usually have...

Anything bicycle specific can be found on Amazon and or your local bike shop, chain, brake pads. Only the electrical parts are a little challenging but really not necessary from 3rd party since Lectric hasn't been gouging customers for those parts and are even pretty liberal with the warranty...

And to be clear, the position of the pin is also about how to store the battery installed in the bike. All the way in to remove/install battery, halfway to lock the battery in the bike with the battery off, pin all the way out to turn the battery on. Very helpful since the key and label is...

Store it with pin in. The Lectric battery is turned off to the exposed contact pins when the pin is all the way in and safe to prevent accidentally shorting the contacts. It is also when you're able to remove and insert the key. You should not store the battery fully charged for long periods...

Pin goes in. If it sticks out the pin will prevent the battery from sliding into the bike.

Lectric XP Battery 5 Pin Discharge Connection Board https://a.aliexpress.com/_mq3hLxo This was the hardest part to find that let me connect the XP battery to the BBS. The lite battery may use a different discharge connection though
