I just went to Amazon and had either a eureka! or duh! moment. Since there are only three wires I can just cut the cord, test the continuity of the wires and if the wires/switch are good I can switch the polarity so that it will work with the XP.

You can't switch the connectors around as they only fit one way so I might have bought a bad throttle or the wires may be wired differently than the XP throttle. The part was cheap enough that it doesn't make it worthwhile to try and return it. I'll go on Amazon now and try to find the Bafang...

Not everything is the same or cross compatible, I bought a thumb throttle off Aliexpress and even though the connector is the same it wouldn't work with the bike and showed a E-10 error on the screen.

It was just the case coming loose, the batteries are separate.

The 11-34 freewheel is good for higher speeds and hills while the 11-28 is just good for higher speeds both are available from Aliexpress but Amazon used to sell only the 11-28. Aliexpress is cheaper than Amazon but the shipping takes longer which is often not a problem since most of us are in...

I have one of these totes but they are not from Home Depot, only Lowes sells a tote large enough to fit our bikes.

Since I live in the Pacific "northwet" one of my pet peeves about the XP is that our great fenders are still too short and I end up with mud/water all over the bike and up my back while riding. I found these mudflaps on Aliexpress and although I haven't tried them out yet I don't see how...

If you live near the border you can use a US shipping address so that you only pay the going exchange rate, receive free shipping and pay at the most $50 per bike to bring it across.

It was a beautiful day in the neighborhood today so I thought I would do a battery check. I chose a flat route on a dike that was a mixture of pavement and very hard packed gravel that rode just like being on pavement. I kept the bike in PAS 2 and 4th gear at an average speed of 20k or 12mph and...

Same one both Darceman and I are using and we love it. Check some of his posts concerning installing this as he talks about a spacer or ring that is not needed. I haven't taken mine apart yet to see what he is talking about.

I haven't been able to ride my XP in the snow yet due to a really warm winter but my other e-bikes have been a blast in the snow. Here is a video of how someone made their own snow chains.

Since I only get around 30kms per battery charge now I almost always end up coming home on a dead battery that shows 1 bar and under no assist but I have never seen an E006 code on mine, maybe because I have an older model?

Here is another way to protect your tubes whether it is installed on the rim to protect from the spokes or installed inside your tire to protect from punctures, use gorilla tape like this bike shop does. I can see how it would work well on the rims but I dunno how effective it would be inside...

Noticed this while swapping batteries today, looks like a good place for some more loctite! My other battery is fine though.

I have 2 batteries and only get around 30-40kms on either one, that means 18-25m per charge.

As you have already learned from other posts we have a screw on freewheel. Amazon only sells the 11-28 or 14-28 freewheels but if you go to Aliexpress you can buy a 11-34 which will allow you to fear no hills and it's cheaper to boot but you have to wait longer to receive it.

Have you tried Luna cycles or Grin technologies?

I normally get around 40kms or 25miles from my battery using level 3 for most of the trip (on the 5 pas setting) but today I used mostly level 2 on paved bike paths and only made 30kms or 18miles. I may have to buy the patch cables and put one of the bigger batteries from my other bike on the...

Finally made it to 1000kms! We have had a week of rain but finally got out even though it was drizzling a bit. See you at 1500kms. Not one problem with the bike so far, just some intermittent noise from the brakes which might be fixed with new brake shoes. Go Lectric! (sorry about the photo, I...

Here is an interesting idea for making the free panniers user friendly.
