I have already seen 2 YouTube reviews on this new eBike from Lectric. The things I actually like about it...1) single speed, no shifter/derailleur. I find this OK because on my XP I never shift the gears as I don't have to worry about large hills. 2) No fenders is OK as I don't ride in the rain...

Would this fit the original XP version 1.0?

So you were told to spend your own money on a new multi-meter...to troubleshoot a problem for them? (i.e...we won't send you any more parts unless you do). I think most new Internet eBike buyers are willing to roll the dice and fork over their money (and sometimes waiting months to get it) just...

The only sane way to build a super eBike (2-3k watts) is from the ground up with complete rear hub bolt on kit complete with EVERYTHING needed bolted onto any "good" bike of your choice. (A 7-Speed Mongoose Ardor or Ledge for example as per KevCentral would make an incredible super eBike. A used...

I'd like to see a couple of changes (or options) offered on these bikes that would improve the ride quality and reduce maintenance substantially...yet not cost any more. 1) Spoke-less MAG type wheels (see Jeremiah McIntosh'es latest fat tire eBike review). This would eliminate any possible...

Imagine a roofing (or any other) contractor telling you after you've paid him 100% upfront,,,,"I'll be back in 3 months".

If you were to believe the media hype surrounding this company in terms of yearly sales (not including a boat load of private venture capital rolling in as per several news articles)...this company is awash in cash. YOUR cash, but the point of all this is that they can get away with it as long...

"Almost all current mail order ebike companies charge your credit card immediately upon order. That is despite the fact they can't deliver your bike for weeks or months. They need the influx of capital from orders to maintain a cash flow which for many of them with small capital reserves". I...

Keep in mind....YouTube Lectric bike fan boy reviewers...get a FREE Lectric bike with just a phone call. (i.e...they have a bunch of new eBikes in stock for "special" people). Just saw an RV couple yesterday (that already have 2 version 1.0 bikes) post a video where they unboxed and received 2...

Its fascinating how the "most watched Lectric eBike" YouTube channels have NO problem in receiving FREE eBikes from Lectric for review...yet Lectric makes you the actual buyer, put 100% down on a bike (you've never ridden) and then wait a couple of months. The fan boys will say "hey, that's the...

FWIW...The $999 Rad Power "Radmission 1" eBike...(EBR calls it the best affordable Electric Bike of 2021) is available and ships NEXT business day. For anyone not needing a fat tire folding bike, this may get you riding in a couple of days. They have a mid step in multiple colors. BTW Rad Power...

I thought a cool looking 4" fat tire folding bike was something that was a good fit for me. I was wrong on both counts. I rarely fold the bike anymore, and frankly a 27.5" tire rolls over the terrain much easier than a 20" tire. Its just a fact of physics. Ever ride in a car with 16"...

The Lectric was a good beginner eBike, but I would go next time with a non-folding, non-fat tire, 27.5" tire eBike. I find the 20" fat tires great for traction on snow or sand, but I honestly have no use for either as I'm on asphalt or hard dirt 99.5% of the time. Nor do I fold the bike 99% of...

My money says the next version (3.0) will have the 11-34t freewheel as standard equipment. From what I have read, Lectric wanted to make this change for version 2 but the shipping and manufacturing issues in China prevented this (there wasn't time).

I put a stretchable Velcro strap tightly wrapped around the frame and over the latch just for peace of mind. It also covers the charging port plug which is another poor design. Kills 2 birds with one strap.

For those who "had to have a folding bike"...then bought a Lectric version 2 along with the optional front and rear baskets...you probably defeated the folding option (unless you intend to remove and the install again those baskets every time you want to fold the bike...i.e. you ain't gonna do it).

The KENT Torpedo from Walmart is in stock with 2 day shipping. $498. Walmart is selling some really good eBikes the last 2 years. Even Kev from Kev Central is impressed with some of them. Its sized and powered right for a child. Getting an eBike that a small child can "grow into" makes no sense...

Its time that made in USA bike entrepreneurs start getting venture capital to get ahead of this made in China BS that has finally come back to bite us in the ass.

The cost to ship containers from China is going up substantially with parts shortages projected until 2023, so everyone who anticipates new models or options...if you think you're waiting a long time now, you ain't seen anything yet. For me, the best option for my next bike...is building my own...

Just read an article that prices will be going up and bike/parts shortages and delays will be with us for about 2 MORE years. There are only 3 main component manufacturers in the world and with thousands of companies selling bikes worldwide, its a really bad scenario. In fact used bikes are...
