Search YouTube for "bafang BBS installation" and watch a few videos on how to do it. There is a few versions of the BBS, bbs01, bbs02 and bbshd. The BBShd is a little more expensive and can handle higher amps but in my opinion the 01 or 02 are plenty reliable and the HD only needed if you want...

Mid-drive pedals do not lock up. Rider can pedal anytime, can "freewheel" or coast without pedaling. If there is a throttle, then pedaling is optional under throttle as well. Everything works the same from the riders perspective. Motor assistance when PAS is set to 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,8,10 but not...

Of course the XP being 60+ lbs is no fun at all pedaling without power...

No, you can pedal just fine with no power. The bike I built is only 43lbs (20lb bike + 16lbs batteries+ 7lb motor. using dual Lectric batteries and I ride about 25-75 miles a day 5 days a week. About 1/3 under no power so I can keep in shape.

Ok, so I would replace your bottom bracket with a bafang BBS mid drive motor since it is an all in one controller & motor. Then you wouldn't need to mount a second controller that is needed for the front motor. Use the bafang as your primary motor since it is twice the efficiency and max speed...

Hmmm, I have a 1.0 and it has 3500 miles on it, added a second battery to my 1.0, built a mid-drive motor bike with 5000 miles on it. So fairly experienced with ebikes. Trying to figure out what results/motivation you are hoping for by adding a front motor. There are a number of factors to...

YouTube is a great source to learn how to service the "bicycle parts" of your ebike. Search "Park Tool" to learn all adjustments, spoke replacement, brake pads, cables, gears, freewheel replacement, chain, etc … For ebike diy just search "ebike" then name the part, motor, controller, display...

Amazon is only good for bicycle parts. All electronics are available through AliExpress, battery, controller, motor or motor/wheel assembly, connectors, etc. Just may take awhile coming from China. If you put in the brand of bike you have and part name it is likely to come up. I usually have...

Anything bicycle specific can be found on Amazon and or your local bike shop, chain, brake pads. Only the electrical parts are a little challenging but really not necessary from 3rd party since Lectric hasn't been gouging customers for those parts and are even pretty liberal with the warranty...

And to be clear, the position of the pin is also about how to store the battery installed in the bike. All the way in to remove/install battery, halfway to lock the battery in the bike with the battery off, pin all the way out to turn the battery on. Very helpful since the key and label is...

Store it with pin in. The Lectric battery is turned off to the exposed contact pins when the pin is all the way in and safe to prevent accidentally shorting the contacts. It is also when you're able to remove and insert the key. You should not store the battery fully charged for long periods...

Pin goes in. If it sticks out the pin will prevent the battery from sliding into the bike.

Lectric XP Battery 5 Pin Discharge Connection Board https://a.aliexpress.com/_mq3hLxo This was the hardest part to find that let me connect the XP battery to the BBS. The lite battery may use a different discharge connection though

Was super easy to install a bafang BBS on the bottom bracket. I ordered a connector for the Lectric battery and use it in a bag strapped to my rear rack. All connectors are color coded, the controller & cadence sensor is built in to the motor so just mount the motor, battery then display has...

And... You're right on the whole gear thing. I've been mostly riding my mid-drive bike lately and totally got confused between the two. Changing gears on a hub drive just changes how fast you're pedaling, not how fast the bike is going. Mid-drive motors increase bike speed changing gears but...

I get what you're saying now. The XP 1.0 only behaves that way when you get to the max MPH (20mph class II, 28 class III) then the motor shuts off till the speed drops below max. I will say that I pretty much use the PAS levels to maintain a particular speed anyway but I think it actually...

By the way, if the RAD has a sine wave controller it will also have a quieter motor when compared to Lectric if it has a square wave and will give the Lectric a noticable buzzing sound when comparing the two.

Both the Lectric & Rad uses a cadence sensor to determine how much power to apply. The difference is that the Rad has gears so not only does the motor respond to the PAS level but also tries to keep up with the factory set cadence determined by the gear you shift into. So top speed on the Rad...

I have two XP 1.0 and really think a better choice would have been the XP lite for my uses if it had been available. The 1.0 & 2.0 are just a tad too heavy of a folder and I would easily give up the fat tires on the 1.0, the suspension on the 2.0 and the 7 speed drive train on both to have a...

Here is probably the best explanation of the strange bicycling tire sizing system https://www.sheldonbrown.com/tire-sizing.html
