    Derailleur Upgrade

    So I spent a little time looking at your posts in other threads. Seems like you are searching for things to improve your bike. The Trek you purchased is a really solid ebike with quality components. The components in the drive train called a "group set" only need replacement as they break or...

    Derailleur Upgrade

    What is your end result goal you are trying to accomplish? Or what is it about your bike that you hope to improve? In looking at your previous posts it seems like you're trying to fix something that isn't broke and so I feel like I'm missing your intent.

    Derailleur Upgrade

    You got it backwards. The larger cogs on the rear are your low gears for easy peddling, more torque, slow speed, uphill.... It's just the opposite on the front cog and is where you can increase the tooth count to lower your cadence, increase speed but torque decreases and it would be harder to...

    The 46t is his front chain ring

    Derailleur Upgrade

    So in looking at the specs of your bike in my opinion there is nothing you should do. With a 46t front chain ring the high gear should with the torque of the Bosch motor get you to the 28mph on your 11t high gear in the back with a slightly quick cadence as would be expected . Starting on flat...

    Derailleur Upgrade

    So I'm just a little confused since this is a thread on the Lectric XP forum and if you have a wide narrow it describes the chain ring that usually comes in a mid drive motor not the hub motor that the Lectric has and the Lectric uses a 7 speed freewheel that there are no 11-46t gear sets that...

    Derailleur Upgrade

    That actually makes sense. The only time I've seen replacement of a group set making sense is when an owner is satisfied with a current set up but has pretty much worn out the current group set on their bike and is not tempted by the latest and greatest. IMHO in the ebike world we don't really...

    Has anyone changed the freewheel on the Lectric 2.0?

    I've got the 11-34 on a 1.0 and happy I did. If something goes wrong with the power and you have to peddle a 60lb bike up a hill you will be happy for the lower gear. I had to adjust the "b" screw on the deraileur a little to get the chain to work but my chain had about 400 miles on it. When...

    Tires for the 2.0

    The Kenda "Flame" is also found under the brand name Sunlite. Same factory, same tire. Kenda has a pretty good rep.

    Tires for the 2.0

    The only reason for 4" tires is to use in snow or at the beach. Is that your plan? Otherwise most of the "experts" feel it's just a fad. I have the 1.0 with 4" tires and I replaced them once worn out for 3.5" Kenda kraze (as narrow as the rims allow). Better ride, steer, feel and added...

    Suspension Seat Post for Lectric XP Step-Thru 2.0

    The standard Lectric 1.0 suspension seatpost is a whopping 500mm long. Most suspension seatposts are 350mm and a few 400mm. Diameter is 31.6mm for the Lectric. All will need to be 3-4" exposed since some of the guts don't fit in the seat tube. In other words consider seat thickness 2"+ or...

    Has anyone changed the freewheel on the Lectric 2.0?

    I've had mine on for 3200 miles, it's a hub drive ebike so rarely do you stand on the pedals to go uphill putting very little stress on the drive train right? Use a chain wear guage every 500 miles, a worn chain will damage the freewheel pretty fast though...

    Lectric Defects

    I too could not see a defect watching the video over and over. Tried my best to see something but could not. I showed our lead shop mechanic (I started working at a bike shop recently) he could not see or figure out what Corp Clegg is trying claim as a defect. Maybe if it was seen first hand...

    Lectric Defects

    When riding the bike there should not be a feeling like the wheel is out of balance. If so there is an issue with the wheel. If it were me, I'd ride the other as it is rare for two bikes even when coming from the same factory to have identical problems. Then when the one bike rides smooth you...

    Lectric Defects

    The issue I had was prior to the year warranty was up and after riding the bike 2235 miles, the front wheel bearings started squeaking and I took the bike to work (I work at a local bike shop) I had to replace the bearings & cone nuts and contacted Lectric with our standard rate to repair and...

    Lectric Defects

    First off I am sure from my personal experience Lectric customer service will come through and address the problems you report. The brake rotors on a bicycle are not the same as in a automobile or other larger equipment. The rotor is intentionally lightweight like all bicycle parts (within...
