Rad Ebikes sells the CST Big Boat 20X3 and Kenda 20x3.3 K-rad both are a good compromise. I was able the get the Kenda Kraze from them in a 3.25 but don't see it on their site in the 3.25, it's available in a 4.25 though. The Kraze is a slick tread and quiet as a mouse but your hub motor will...

Actually, Rad Ebikes sells the 20x3.25 Kenda Kraze I switched to and they have been super. The rim on the XP 1.0 is just the slightest bit wide to drop to a 3" tire so the 3.25 fits nicely. Supposedly Kenda beefed up the tire for the Rad labeled version. Rad sells it for less than I could...

Tht is normal range at that speed. Drop to 12-14mph PAS 2 for about 35-40 miles. Yes half speed, 3 times the range.

Carefully remove the battery cover and look at the name on the individual cells. I would argue against it as you will be risking damage if you don't know what you are doing. The batteries used by Lectric are all good quality cells with only slight differences. One has a slightly lower capacity...

They're 3" and not as knobby on the 2.0 that started this thread. I have the 1.0 and can hit 28mph every time I follow my posted instructions. I switched to 3" Kenda craze when my knobbies wore out and it doesn't really feel like they have less resistance for some reason but definitely quieter.

The motor assists up to 28mph. In other words if you hit 28mph the motor shuts off. That is to keep the bike legal. If the motor were to assist past 28mph, then it would be classified as a moped and be subject to additional things like headlights, turn signals, brake light, and so on. Having...

I would check the blix bikes or if weight and size is top priority then furo at 28lbs might work but low power and a bit slow. If money is no object then gocycle. Check the reviews on this site, he does a great job maintaining and adding to it. On Electrek YouTube videos I saw a super compact...

The smaller tires do nothing to reduce the size folded. Axle width is standard regardless of tire width so the frame width is the same. I ride 6 days a week and only haul the bike in my Kia Soul 2 days a month so portability isn't critical to me. If I had a Prius with that lower hatch and...

The mounting screws are pre-installed on the bike and do not come with the lock. You have to remove them then use them to attach the mount that came with the lock. Not sure if you might be trying to use screws that came with the lock that are used elsewhere???

I use these handy straps to secure a second battery on my rear rack. Works for a variety of things. VIGAER Fastening Cable Straps... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07W97K7N1?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

No setting by PAS level but there is a max overall speed limiter setting. I've attached a list of all settings. You want to change the P08 to the highest speed your wife is comfortable with. Not a perfect solution but I started my wife with a max 10mph (16kph) then added a little over time as...

Lectric customer support, email response in about 2 days. Send a pic to them of the part and version, standard, step through, 1.0 or 2.0

The hub motor Lectric uses is a geared motor giving more torque in a smaller package than a comparable direct drive hub motor. The trade off is what I would describe as a whining from the gears that increases in volume and pitch as speed increases. A grinding sound is not how I would describe...

It's the draw to operate display and controller. You also will only see the full charge when the battery is in balance. A couple over night charges in a row will re-balance the battery. It gets a little out of balance over time but you don't want to constantly try to keep the battery at...

Yes, even though the bike has 20in. "wheels" it is the rim diameter. Add the tires and you get about 22 inches. The setting only effects your speedometer and odometer. They are not as accurate as your car but pretty close.

Gradual degradation. For best performance store 48v battery at 46-48v and fully charge (54v + or -) just before use. I use a smart plug and set it to start charging at about 5 hours prior to when I know I'm going to ride long distance. Otherwise, for short rides I just take off if I have 47v...

Lots of YouTube videos on changing the Brake pads I ordered these for my Lectric XP 1.0. on Amazon: Tektro Shimano Deore Br-M575 M525 M515 T615 T675 M505 M495 M486 M485 M475 M465 M447 M446 M445 M416 M415 M395 M375 M315 M355 C601 C501s (Resin Brake Pads)...

You'll need to contact Lectric for a replacement controller. If you get inexperienced customer support, they might try a cadence sensor but it would cause an issue in all levels so a new controller should fix it.

Yep, too slow. What do you get on PAS 2, 3, 4?

PAS 1 is slow on purpose so that you can ride the same speed as the grand kids on their tricycles. Cruise speed is PAS 2 for maximum range, PAS 3 is to keep up with the regular bikes, PAS 4 is to pass the regular bikes and PAS 5 is to pass the road bikes with the lycra bike shorts & jersey...
