Through 7 charging cycles, my average charging rate is 2.5 volts/hr. The data is below. I have two outlier points that I believe are valid data but that I don't understand. Could it be that the longer charging times allow the charger to develop more heat thus reducing efficiency. Anyway, I...

Taylor, Since you "jumped in" I did too. Looks good to me. John

You guys are all so cleaver with DIY stands but I was thinking about going more conventional. I have the Lectric XP that I would like to work on plus two mountain bikes and two hybrid road bikes; two are my wife and two are mine plus the XP is mine. So it would be nice to have a work stand...

I watched Jeremiah's you-tube video on installing hydraulic brakes on my Lextric XP but I have 300+ miles on it now and I really believe that the mechanical brakes work well (quiet and good stopping power). So I purchased spare pads for the stock brakes and plan to stick with those. I have...

Gionnirocket I love the idea of the controller and I understand how it works. You are very cleaver! All I was trying to say was that I have the Lectric XP charger "dialed in" and understand its performance now so that I feel comfortable charging on just time to achieve my target voltage. If...

The DIY charge controller is slick but is it necessary to manage your battery voltage? I did a simple test on the Lectric XP charger/battery and found that it restores battery energy at a nearly linear rate of 2 volts per hour. So I use a $5 smart plug linked to my iphone and set the charging...

I am using a Buckaroo purchased from Amazon for about $50 and is in stock. I like that it actually has spring suspension. Buckaroo Seat

Woodie, Welcome to the group. I am new to E bikes as well and purchased the XP for commuting around town and because of the great reviews and low cost of entry. The only upgrades have done are due to necessity or convenience; but the bike is nearly perfect as is, in my opinion. One...

OMG! My charging is really dialed in now. I am using Smart Plugs - Gosund which I can set with my Iphone for a charging time or I can schedule. This morning I was at 47 volts (53%) and I targeted a charge time of 2.5 hrs to bring my battery up by 5 volts to 52 volts (85%). Final voltage...

Thanks Thomas

I tested the charge rate for my Lectric XP using the factory charger and found that the rate is essentially linear at 2 volts gain in battery recovery per hour at least between 50 and 88%. The data is attached.

Further to the "state of charge table" I have started to use an Alexa plug on a timer routine to only allow a partial charge on my Lectric XP much like my Tesla Model 3. While I can set the Tesla to begin charging during non peak times and to a desired percent charge I am experimenting with...

I just attached a state of charge table to my frame.

Thomas, The chart is very helpful. Thanks so much for that tip. So I looks like I can safely discharge to 43 volts (42 at the outside ) to maintain battery health and target charging to 51-52 volts unless I have a long ride. Thanks, John

I have 220 miles now over 30 days. Most of my usage is commuting around town, 8-10 miles per day. I have been charging every night. I took a longer ride yesterday ~ 15 miles at PAS 3-4 with hills and another 5 miles today without charging. Battery bar while riding dropped to 3 bars but...

Tried the Suntour SP NCX Suspension seat post from Amazon at $109. I weight 170 lbs and even if I backed the spring set screw off completely I got very little suspension effect, the spring is too stiff for me. So I went back to the suspension post from Lectric Bikes; seems to work very well...

Thanks so much , great info.

Does a manual exist or instructions on how to disassemble the hub or is it that obvious once you remove the rear wheel from the bike frame?

I also seem to have a derailleur that sometimes skips when I am in low gear (2-3) which I rarely am. I am motivated now to adjust it. Thanks. JG

Love the Lectric XP. I use it mostly to commute around town. All systems are working well at 3 weeks and 175 miles. Had flat front tire so far from a screw and the sealant in the tube prevent air for leaking. The only way I knew I had pick up a screw was the clicking I heard while riding...
