Bike is charged and about to go for a ride. If you want some entertainment watch this guy lose his mind over the XP Lite. Some of his replies in the comments are just awesome! I can imagine this guy when he first heard about it he was screaming at his desk cursing saying why didn't he come up...

You're not going to get a full size e-bike with your low weight expectations for anywhere near $1k. That's just above what a decent pedal bike will run you but you want to add $500 to $1k of electrical components and the math doesn't add up. I like your idea of the XP Lite though. It's cheap...

I checked online. Artic White and Midnight Black is saying ships in one week. Lectric Blue is two weeks and Sandstorm four weeks. I suspect Sandstorm is more popular than they expected. Of course these times are for my area. It could be different where you are. I would order now if you...

Well, my Lectric XP Lite just arrived this morning. The FedEx guy just left it by my door and didn't even knock so if you're expecting one perhaps check outside. I only knew because of my Shop (Shopify) app sent me a notification that it was delivered. The box was relatively undamaged except...

I’ve never had cruise control on a bike before. I have my RadCity 5 and it has throttle but no cruise control. I rarely use the throttle and just stick with pedal assist. I don’t find it twitchy but then again I don’t make sharp turns with it. It’s a big bike for cruising

I feel your comments because some people are like that where I live in Texas. Many drivers actually don't know that bicycles are allowed on the road. The guy that yelled at you probably thought he was in the right. In the USA there is very few requirements to get a driver's license. I like...

I'm excited for you getting your new bike. Still no word from Lectric on mine. Did they email you before shipping it? I also requested no slime (Unchecked the "free" option on the website). I'm not a fan of it and it's not needed where I am on city roads with not too much debris. I'll...

I’m not really sure what you’re trying to say. My point is most people who own a bicycle in the USA also have an automobile. It’s just not feasible to use a bicycle to get everywhere you want to go and we don’t have very good public transportation. Traveling to my job would be a six hour...

You can ride in the road where I live but you’re supposed to keep to the right. With my huge RadCity 5 I take up half the lane so most cars pass in the next lane. I’m not sure what you mean by urban speed limit but most of the roads in cities and towns near me are 35-45 MPH. I wouldn’t feel...

Don’t give them ideas 😂😂

I agree that big trucks cause some damage I doubt something like a pickup truck is going to wear the roads. The environment damages the roads more than anything. If humans instantly disappeared potholes would still happen. I think it’s more of a pay to upkeep scenario. I would gladly pay...

Wouldn’t this also apply to cyclists (electric and mechanical) who use the infrastructure but don’t pay fuel taxes?

My biggest point is the vehicle issue isn’t an “us vs them” thing. At least in the USA most people who own bicycles also own motorized vehicles. I used to listen to a cycling podcast till the guy kept ranting about people in pickup trucks. I definitely can’t support anything that means...

We have enough taxes and most of these taxes would hurt poor people more than anything. In this scenario a guy making a seven figure salary driving $100k+ Tesla would be paying less taxes then some construction worker trying to survive. I’m not saying “stick it to the man” but the poor guy...

Cycling in the USA on roads is a rough proposition. We have a huge problem with drivers using emotions to make driving decisions. Whether that be someone in the left lane trying to block traffic or someone tailgating aggressively to intimidate another driver it happens every day. Even cyclists...

This is why you get a dashcam. It’s not just idiots on two wheels but mostly the ones on four wheels.

Everyone is different. Sometimes it’s hard to explain to someone why they should pay an extra $200 for what looks like the same thing.

Most people want the lowest price possible. Unless you can convince them that saving money will cause them to immediately burst into flames and die they don’t care. I guarantee you that if they could buy an ebike with a lesser quality and slightly dangerous battery and save $100 it would be a...

I’m not sure about all Rad batteries but the battery that came with my RadCity 5 has CE certification on the decal but doesn’t show UL. I would like to know what are the requirements for these certifications. I know CE is used in the EU vs UL is used in the USA but I don’t know what they...

You’re talking about New York City with a population of about 8 million people. This is probably out of tens of thousands of e bikes. Also we don’t know how those four batteries were treated. If they were used by food delivery service people they we’re probably used roughly. I’m not...
