Just got two of the STs, I'm going to put the 11-34 freewheel on them both. As for the key, I'm just leaving it in and turned on. There seems to be minimal battery drain, just keeping the power button alive. The bikes are alarmed, so I'm not too concerned with someone taking the time to split...

Just one week into riding a step-through Lectric, so perhaps take my thoughts with a grain of salt. BUT-- I think I can see how some (perhaps many) think e-bikes are dangerous. I hadn't ridden any bike for years and it has taken me this past week to once again feel the balance sensations and...

Bike rack comes with the bike; are you asking what you should mount on that rack? If so, lots of baskets are available and of course there's the heavy-duty basket from Lectric directly. I've ordered two ST models and have had delivery on one. I bought a folding basket and mounted it on the...

20" wheel has a 22" diameter tire. No way speedo has 10% error. Something smells fishy. EDIT 14 December: Okay, learned a bit since that post. My Lectric st wheels are actually about 17" in diameter. There is something not set correctly in the controller settings (and we're locked out from...

Just got a white ST and set it up last night. First impressions: (1) Beautifully packaged and the workmanship and paint are excellent. (2) This thing is HEAVY. Hadn't ridden in years and I was then on a featherweight street bike. But heavy isn't a big deal; I'm not carrying it up a flight...

Got the ST bike last evening, love it, folded it several times with the key in. Key is supposed to bend, or something? From what? My ST key doesn't interfere with anything. As for the freewheel, the stock 14-28 works fine but makes it hard to go faster than 20mph. But that's probably...

I rode a big Honda motorcycle for years when I was younger and living in LA and I tried to keep to a schedule to lubricate the chain every 500 miles. I used a spray that came out watery but quickly dried into a grease that wouldn't fly off easily. I've heard some folks talk about lubricating...

Oh for heaven's sake, simplest solution is to install a new freewheel that has an 11-tooth high gear instead of the stock 14. Your pedaling cadence will be significantly lower. Still, like the others say, hunker down and put on a street tire inflated to max pressure...

I've been reading up a lot on this stuff in anticipation of getting my two bikes. I would anticipate there will be lots of third-party options as these bikes populate the world, perhaps some sort of simple cabling mod that allows for a parallel battery connection. Another thing is that the...

Okay, second post here, so go easy on me. Getting delivery of an ST Lectric today, looking forward to riding it. Yeah, strange key location, which I'm sure will be modified in the future. But my question is, if there's no possibility of theft, why not just leave the key on? If the display...

First post here. Ordered 2 STs on November 9th, one (white) should be arriving tonight, though FedEx says it was in SoCal early this morning but on its way. Yeah, right; it's a loooong way from LA to Oregon. Anyway, the second bike (black) is still "processing." I would imagine black is the...
