    eBike conversion kit

    3 12 volt SLA batteries? Is that even a thing anymore? For the $210 you spent on those you'd be better off with a lipo battery. I bet you can return those still. I'm guessing that those weak batteries can't put out enough amps. They are probably 6-10Ah batteries that sag to 10v under load. So...

    Helmets- full face?

    Great subject! I want a full face helmet but I settled on a hi-viz orange MIPS instead so that I don't 'stand out' (tongue in cheek) on bike paths too much. Full face just screams fast and dangerous to the general public IMO. Plus I'm removing any lectric branding from my bike as I intend to...

    Nice work! I'm taking mine apart also. I'm going to powder coat the frame for sure and maybe the rims, fork and handlebars too. Not the fenders though, they go in the bin. All that work to replace your handlebars deserves a much better picture than above. I can't even see them from that angle...

    Lectric XP

    You probably don't. This thread had me worried that I too ordered the "wrong one". Some quick research lead to this info, linked here: Coil vs. Air Forks >>Coil forks use a metal coil as the spring (duh!). The advantage of this is the linear nature of the suspension during the compression...

    "Lectric XP Step" - New ebike announcement

    Ooh, I'm a little short, just bought a bunch of accessories, can I owe you? And that's totally what I deserve for chiming in on something without researching. All that said, their admittance the original battery isn't proprietary is interesting. I've seen some attempts of members to guess...

    "Lectric XP Step" - New ebike announcement

    Bah... this makes no sense at all. These bikes are perfect for what they are. Consumers wanted a step thru model so they got one! They have sold 15,000 bikes in one year, there is no pre order scheme, they are shipping as fast as they can make them. Once production outpaces demand, THEN they...

    The truth: How far can an electric bicycle really go on a single charge?

    So, 50% further if you pedal? Seems logical. I bet you could double your range if you went half as fast also.

    Lectric XP

    I called three bike shops today and they all said no. They have the die to recut damaged threads but said it's not designed to cut new. Plus I bet the tube diameter is off several thousands of an inch for the optimum threading diameter. I just bit the bullet and bought the parts. As bobn4burton...

    I bought this one instead. Specs look the same, but double check. https://www.ebay.com/itm/193105184547

    My Tricked out XP

    This is awesome! Your customization is worthy of it's own thread, not to get lost in some other thread. More people should start threads whether about their bike or a mod they are doing. I'll sure as s*it start a thread once mine gets powder coated orange (frame and rims) and I slap some old...

    Math quiz; Who is right?

    How about a sample problem? I give the waitress $230 for my $220 check and tell her to keep the change and split it with the other waitress. How much is her tip?

    Samebike? Discuss the differences.

    https://a.aliexpress.com/_dWdy0tS I stumbled upon this while looking for street tires for my XP. Taking a quick glance I noticed the controller and suspension forks but the paint job doesn't look as good to me. What else do you notice or like/not like about this Samebike as your XP?

    Which part are those? I ordered the suspension forks recommended here but haven't read about any install problems. Besides the new forks what other parts will I need? Thanks! https://a.aliexpress.com/_dTqXXdW

    I love your setup! I see that you cut several inches off, but I don't see another modification. What did I miss in those pics? I have that light in my cart, which fork did you use?

    Thanks! Grips the same at 25.4mm or is the bar 22.2mm and the clamp area 25.4mm?

    Can you confirm 25.4mm is correct diameter with no shims required? If so the 22.2mm will fit with shims and 31.8mm won't fit at all. Correct? Thanks all!

    XP rear wheel removal - help!

    How are you going to duplicate them? I asked Lectric for a logo file so I could have a local sign shop cut a black carbon fiber vinyl logo to reapply after I powdercoat the frame orange. I haven't heard back. I'll just grab some art online if they won't accomodate me.
