The pedals are fine for typical use on most surfaces and riding that 80% of people use the bike for. Some people playing around with bmx style or trying to ride like a mountain bike will find them insufficient but that doesn't sound like you since your second sentence started with "Old guy here".

I have a lite, that replaced my xp (too heavy). The lite is a reasonable compromise if you want a simple somewhat light weight somewhat decent speed handy ebike with ok range that folds for stowing at a really great price for what you get. There are lighter and better stowing bikes but they...

Nine times out of ten when I see about a person hitting toes on the front bicycle wheel when turning they have a motorcycle background. On a motorcycle, the middle of your foot (arch area) rests on the pegs. On a bicycle the ball of your foot is placed on the pedal. By placing the ball of...

Seems like a strange setup. Why put a robust expensive drive train on a hub drive e-bike? Hub drive e-bikes barely put any strain on the drive train anyway. On the other hand, end user adjustable automatic shifting will allow the bike to be set for the peddling cadence and peddle assist the...

They're a well known brand with a good reputation for support. Sometimes support is slower than they and the end user would like but they do get issues resolved as they come up, a little patience is sometimes necessary. In my opinion, you can't find a better value anywhere else. It's probably...

I've had the same issues on a couple new bikes made in China and a warranty replacement wheel on one of them too. Five wheels and all had the cones adjusted too tight.

That's a great solution then. The bmx bars are really smart too. The stock steering is pretty wonky feeling with the folding mech and height adjustment. A bit too narrow as well. The bmx bars fix all that and gives way more useful real estate on them too.

Very nice. I'm a little confused on your desire to change gearing for more torque. My guess is the 350w lite motor doesn't climb as well as the 500w xp motor and you have to peddle to help the motor out when climbing. Hopefully you won't have a ghost peddling issue at higher speeds but maybe...

Reach out to Area 13 ebikes, they carry some upgrade kits for some brands (not sure of your brand). Eggrider also has a programmable display but it only works with brands using a particular communications protocol on the controller (can't remember which one).

Post a pic so we can know what the result was

It seems error 9 is a controller error not a throttle error. You can go through all the connections but if that doesn't work then the controller needs replacement.

I suspect you won't find a freewheel with 11 tooth anyway. Only way to fix the ghost peddling is to increase the size of the front chainring. Will likely need a longer chain. I got used to the PAS jump and actually ride PAS 2 then switch to PAS 3 at towards the end of the ride as the voltage...

For transparency I own the XP 1.0 but am very familiar with the lineup. I have other bikes mid-drive, full size standard frames etc. Same fat tires, similar frame & gears. I've used suspension seatpost with the 4" tires. For me I vote meh, my wife has back issues and is a big fan of the...

Slim will prevent most thorn/nail/splinter caused flats. There may be a little pressure lost as some air can leaks out before the slime does it's job. Depending on how hazardous your paths are, your risk tolerance, and distance traveled from your start point (you can push the bike with a flat...

Pg 46 of your manual says to push the button on each battery to take it out of "sleep mode" and or to activate the led battery bar charge level. So it is likely you only pressed it on the main battery on the downtube.

Here is the link for Park Tool cutting dies if you want to do it yourself. Scroll down the page for choices in both 1" and 1 1/8". https://www.parktool.com/en-us/category/frame-fork

Don't you have a local bike shop to take the old and new fork to? Probably charge less than the cost of the die....

Check out the 20" tires on RAD Ebikes site. They have a couple street tread in stock that'll work. They are big enough to get tires Ebike rated that are not available elsewhere. I'm thinking they are 3.25" to 3.5" but with street tread.

If you're going from 4" to 3" the stock rims and all will work. I put the Kenda Kraze 3x20 with street tread on my stock XP. Much nicer ride on asphalt, concrete and still does gravel well. Not so good on dry beach sand but ok on damp.

Depends on why you want to replace it. If it is broken beyond repair I bought this as it allows you to run 7-9 speed Shimano cassette/freewheel and can also handle up to a 45 tooth granny gear not to mention some other benefits over the Tourney derailleur that came with the bike. Great deal at...
