We installed 11-34 freewheels (not "cassettes"--these are one-piece assemblies) and love the difference at both ends. The 34 really comes in handy for non-motor situations, and installs without any chain lengthening or limit adjustments, though the "B Limit" screw needs to be turned all the way...

Got two of the XP 2.0 st bikes last Christmas. It only took one day for me to conclude that PAS wasn't ready for prime time and disabled it completely. Now we ride a very smooth 7-speed bicycle that just happens to have a 1-hp electric motor attached, controlled perfectly by the twist...

The only practical limit on how far to move the handlebars back is that you need room to stand astride the bike with your feet on the ground and not have the handlebars pressed into your abdomen. We found the ideal position to be with the stem facing rearwards but then the handlebars shifted 2"...

Terrific news. As for alternative sources, there are YouTube websites that have tested a great many 18650 cells and discovered that many Chinese-sourced cells are absolute junk, with actual ratings far below the claimed number. I seem to recall that LG, Sony, Panasonic are trusted brands, but...

I would have thought that a color display would be nice, didn't realize that they were often difficult to read. The two Lectric XP 2.0 bikes we got last Christmas have large monochrome displays that are easily visible in sunlight. The more I read about other bikes the more I'm impressed with...

After we bought our two XP 2.0 st bikes for last Christmas, I discovered we still had an old beefy receiver-mount bike rack, and I've figured out how to hang the two bikes from that. So folding is not necessary for us to move the bikes. That said, I've found that once folded, all you need to...

Lots of experience in my youth changing flats. Bought two of the XP 2.0 st bikes last Christmas, was advised by comments here and elsewhere to use "FlatOut," which some videos show as superior to the other stuff. So far so good. I also carry a patch kit, a tiny CO2 quick-inflate valve and...

Just came across this thread after posting a response to a similar thread. We found a very nice Android application called "BikeComputer Pro" that provides all sorts of data and connectivity. Here's the other response...

We bought two Lectric ebikes for Christmas last year and love them. They are the XP 2.0 step-thru models and have been customized with an 11-34 freewheel (major improvement), seat suspension, foldylock, smartphone holder, 5v USB port, and a slick folding metal basket on the rear rack. Great...

Wait a sec, why not just drop in a different freewheel? One of the first things we did to our XP2.0st bikes was to install an 11-34 freewheel. Changes the personality of the bike completely, and you're not pedaling like a zombie at higher speeds. Cheap fix.

Our experience with Lectric has been very positive. We bought two of the step-throughs just before Christmas 2021, and have ridden the heck out of them over the past six months. Any phone interactions with the HQ folks have been first-rate, and when we compare the features on these bikes to the...

Similar thing happened to me, although I didn't crash. The seat spring is normally half above half below a flange, and if the spring is not rotated tightly enough then the spring above can pop out and go below the flange. It's easier to visualize than in words, but it means you need to get a...

We bought two of the Lectric 2.0 XPst bikes for last Christmas and just love them. Very well made, tons of standard features, and inexpensive to boot. But don't plan to carry them very far (60lb) and don't expect to fold them at the end of every ride--yes, they fold, but they are clumsy when...

Yup, setting wheel to 26.5 makes the speedo and odometer accurate. I think Lectric locked in some internal settings before someone discovered the error. But in any event, 26.5 makes things right. I should also mention that in addition to turning the front stem around 180 degrees I also offset...

If you're willing to consider going in a different direction, I can tell you that although I've ridden many bikes back when I was younger, we are having a blast on our two Lectric XP 2.0 step-thrus. 20" fat tires, 500Whr battery, 1hp (48v x 18a) hub drive, and an astonishing value--just $1K...

Read the other day that you can generally tell the voltage of the line by counting the number of insulator disks. Each disk is good for 19,000 volts. And no, you won't get sick from living near power lines. Like the previous commenter said, it's non-ionizing, so no cell damage.

EBay has always been my friend. I cannot imagine a situation where parts would simply not be available at any price. Heck, I bought a brand-new phenolic gas cap for an Evinrude 2 hp outboard motor built in 1976 on eBay. Cost me $20, though.

They make really excellent heavy-duty prophylactics. Reusable indefinitely. On a more serious note, I've read they can be sliced lengthwise and used to double up on inner tubes for added thorn protection.
