    5v USB outlet for Letric XP

    Anyone found a way to add a USB charge port to our bikes? I have an idea; 60v to 5v step down converter with a USB plug for your phone that draws power from the headlight plug. About the size of a cigarette lighter. Any interest? I'm going to make a few once the parts arrive and I'll show...

    Second Crash, OUCH again!

    Practicing wheelies and manuals on this beast I rotated all the way around, right on the concrete. At least I had my helmet on...

    Known Issues & Problems with Lectric eBikes Products + Help, Solutions & Fixes

    Good! Out the door ASAP! Your battery is a bummer, the rest is expected. Every new bike needs a little tune up after leaving the factory. Buy from a store they do it for you, buy online and do it yourself. Sorry, not picking on you. I just have to remind myself this forum is full of pleebs who...

    BMX'd my Lectric XP

    Like many of you I grew up on a BMX. My fondest bike memories come when I was riding my BMX, dozens and hundreds of miles as a child. It turns out with a little imagination our Lectric XP is a good candidate for conversion... My mods were numerous: Bars, head, stem, grips, shifter, bell, pegs...

    New hidden kickstand!

    I'm not a fan of our kickstands, it looks like a refueling probe pointing the wrong way. Plus it got in the way of my BMX pegs. So out with the old and in with the new.

    Our seats aren't sprung!

    This big rubber bumpers on our seats led me to believe there's some sort of cushioning provided by them. Wrong, they are for show only! Those rubber "bumpers" surround a solid plastic core which provides zero movement. I took mine out which lowered the seat over an inch. Plus now it doesn't look...

    Lectric XP

    Just did this, no grinding needed! Pounding is needed instead. You need to find a tube or pipe that slips over the fork and drive the crown race down that last bit so it's flush. Simple as that. By the way, I'm selling my suspension fork you see here. Complete set; fork, Neco heatset and...

    20x16 is way cooler. Don't give up on the US dealer, call them. Also lectric skate boards have flat batter packs in the decks, one would fit perfectly in the floor of that scooter!

    Lectric XP

    Thank you. Honestly the bars are just some used BMX bars I got off ebay. I need to refinish them before my new grip shifter arrives. I'm going to start a dedicated thread for it.

    Lectric XP

    Thanks! Nope! With the seat low my knees come up between my elbows, just like when we were kids. Even with the seat higher the reach to the bars is still good. Plus those bars make it simple to adjust the reach, just rake them forward or back. Here's another shot.

    First trail ride, First crash, OUCH!

    I didn't think about that, but you're right! Just like car seats; my brother had a minor fender bender with a toddler on board and he insisted their insurance replace the car seat for exactly the reasons you mentioned. My head impact was minor, no scrapes just dirt and debris. I think the MIPS...

    First trail ride, First crash, OUCH!

    Last night was an adventure! I started a trail ride at dusk and did not finish before it got dark. My lighting was poor and on the way home I had a bad crash. Skinned my knee, skinned my elbow, bruised ego and got a really deep bruise on my left shoulder. Expectedly my bike came out fine...

    Lectric XP

    This is disappointing. Was your controller actually wet? A cheap replacement should be less than $50. Let us know what Lectric wants to charge you.

    Lectric XP

    She arrived! 2 weeks early! Thanks to everyone who backed out to order a step-thru! Upgraded to the coil fork, and then went back to rigid, for now. The new fork is about 4" taller than the stock one. Nothing wrong with that, if you're okay with the look, I am. I like the BMX look as opposed...
