    Hydraulic Brakes On Lectric XP?

    Don't take some of these popular Lectric fanboy YouTube guys as GOSPEL or must haves. They are out to promote their channels, get clicks and to get FREE eBikes from Lectric. Use your common sense. If something on your bike is a problem or can be improved upon (seats, handlebars, mirrors, etc)...

    Changing percentage of power within the power assist levels

    If you've ever ridden a higher end eBike with a sine wave controller (vs the old tech square wave controller on the Lectric)...you would not feel any "kick". It would be as smooth as glass. More and more eBikes are going that route. Its safer, easier on the rider and easier on the motor. Sine...

    Known Issues & Problems with Lectric eBikes Products + Help, Solutions & Fixes

    I think they "over thought" the PAS system. It doesn't need 5 levels of assist in Class 2 mode... and yes, going from PAS-2 to PAS-3 is way too aggressive and once you get to 4 and 5 there is not enough difference to matter between the two. I would re-program the system so that under the Class...

    Celebrity breaks his back on Ebike

    This kind of media coverage unfortunately brings out the "ban those dangerous eBikes" crowd who just need a good example like these to spew their venom...and boy, are they ever. Unfortunately the whole truth as to whether he was even driving a legally classified eBike was not mentioned in the...

    Seat options

    Some say this seat is better than either the Cloud-9 or Bikearoo seats on Amazon. Its an older Schwinn design, but they do know something about cruiser bikes and comfort. https://www.target.com/p/schwinn-ultra-comfort-bike-seat-black/-/A-13560899

    Hub and freewheel wobble

    If they are telling you this "normal", then how can you even think of buying another one? Its NOT normal. It happens when somebody was asleep at the switch when they machined the parts. That I could accept as a reason, but to say this is normal, I'd draw the line there. You will constantly be...

    Locked/Unlocked Meanings

    Question...does the increase of the top speed from 20mph (factory setting) to 28 mph change how the PAS settings control speed? Example...in "stock form" PAS 1 will top out at approximately 8mph, PAS 2 tops out at around 12mph..and so on. Other than PAS 5...does the 28mph influence PAS?

    Throttle vs pas battery?

    Simple rule of thumb...if you look at the volt meter, just ride until it gets down to about 43 or 44 volts. Don't take it all the way down until it stops. Your battery and wallet will thank you. Don't even be concerned about those bars on the top of the display. I just ignore that as its not an...

    Any pointers loading XP into back of SUV

    I'm 68...take the battery out and the seat off...that reduces the weight by 10 pounds and that may not seem like a lot...but it is. Just fold the bike as close to the back end of the SUV. That way you aren't carrying it. Also use a strap or an old belt or something to keep the bike from...

    About to take the Lectric leap. Man vs step thru

    I have adjusted it right...and it still was not right. Get the Step Thru...its a no brainer and stop with the gender nonsense on all these threads. I wish the Step Thru was available when I ordered. Being a senior myself, do the right thing and get one.

    Frame lock fail

    I have the same problem..in fact for me it was a security issue because my pants would catch on that LATCH once in a while while pedaling and its almost caused me to crash twice. Needless to say I contacted Lectric about that and they replied..."that's perfectly normal" and that the screw inside...

    Hitting knee on folding hinge

    I keep getting my pants caught on that hinge LATCH when I'm at the top of the pedal stroke going downward. Its almost cost 2 crashes for me...luckily I was on grass. I'd get the Step Thru as the hinge is down near the ground. In fact I would only be interested in the Step Thru model if it was...

    Has your Lectric XP exceeded your expectations?

    I have no issue with the design, but the quality control in terms of assembly by the Chinese in my case was unacceptable. The battery died after first 13 miles (so it obviously was never tested that all the cells were ok). The derailleur hanger was bent (and not by shipping as the box was...

    ODO meter stopped working - is it fixable.....

    I understand your frustration. My battery died after 13 original miles. The derailleur hanger was bent, the brakes were messed not adjusted (just thrown on), and I ended up taking it to a certified bike shop. Funny thing is (well not so funny)..they told me they just fixed one exactly like mine...

    Known Issues & Problems with Lectric eBikes Products + Help, Solutions & Fixes

    My new XP had a failed battery after the first 13 miles (and if that isn't enough), the derailleur hanger was bent and the brakes were not adjusted right. One was too tight and rubbing where you couldn't spin the wheel freely, and the other was too loose where the handle touched the hand grip...

    Lectric XP and Neck Pain

    Warning...the XP seat post is a 31.8mm (not 31.6mm)...and yeas it DOES make a difference. I too ordered a similar seat post with a 31.6mm SHIM...it doesn't tightened down enough to be safe. The seat post will not stay stationary.

    Lectric XP and Neck Pain

    Its interesting during my research on this eBike and its competitors..is that the "reach" (distance from the rider to hand grips) on this XP model is larger than just about anybody else's design. That was a concern for me and it should be for others who are buying these for shorter folks. Yes...

    Shipping Lectric XP

    Look on YouTube for "Sonny Whitehurst"...his channel has a video on his XP pannier modifications...warning...it requires some cutting, sewing and installation of mounting hardware you will need to buy.

    Lectric XP and Neck Pain

    I'm curious..what is your height, and what number did you set the handlebar height to?

    Shipping Lectric XP

    Those pannier saddle bags were not designed for the XP...so I can't imagine anybody actually paying for these. There are better options for sure. But if you got them free, then I guess there should be no complaints. I received them as well and the first thing I did was cut off those cheap metal...
