    Lectric XP, but no battery?

    register for fedex app and you should be able to see the battery shipping seperately. because some inventory was flown in, battery could not accompany the bike. we had one arrive with battery coming a few days later. use fedex to track any shipments to you, even ones Lectric has not sent out...

    Is a GPS tracker truly effective?

    the receipt only shows you bought a tracker. it’s not tied to you in some unique way to my knowledge. i can’t prove the tracker pinging in the screen is the tracker i bought because i can’t prove ownership of the stolen tracker. unless there’s some serial number thing that i’m not aware of...

    Is a GPS tracker truly effective?

    There’s a few threads on this but i hadn’t seen this angle… GPS tracker logic says get one so you can show the police how to recover your bike. Has anyone actually been successful with this? Getting the police to use your tracker to recover the stolen bike? Perhaps if it were abandoned on a...

    Lectric Defects

    well you already know Lectric does not design anything. 98% of the bike is sourced parts. they may make a few recommendations to the manufacturers here and there. i’m thinking of the brace/stand beneath the bottom bracket which was fortified between version 1.0 and 2.0. i could see them...

    Lectric Defects

    i understand there are times to take a stand based on principle and the desire to be recognized as “in the right”. there are other times where alignment, compromise and pursuit of a resolution make more practical sense. can’t decide which is right in this moment but i can say that taking a...

    Lectric Defects

    imho your video did not effectively illustrate across the keyboard and screen the problem (evidenced by multiple people not seeing what you saw, not being able to identify it as a machining issue, etc) which possibly may be why lectric claimed it normal. it might be possible they also...

    Which brake first?

    i apply both pretty equally, or from a muscle memory pint of view, don’t consciously think about it really. front wheel will have more traction during braking maneuvers but that’s true in most vehicles as the momentum force is applied there to a greater degree. i use rear braking on bikes...

    Lectric Defects

    anecdotal i know but rumor was that Lectric would have liked to go with the 11-28 freewheel but there was either a supply or quality issue (or both) for the component. i suspect some of the quality issues on some of these commodity components is at least partially related to the global demand...

    How fast will your bike go?

    regarding “salmoning” against the flow of traffic, it was actually studied in Palo Alto CA using available records and shown to be between 3.6 and 6.6 times less safe than operating with the direction of traffic. full study with tables and citations for the data sources…...

    Lectric Defects

    sorry can’t help much more as i can’t experience what you’re experiencing. what johnny rocky mentiined regarding rider weight on the bike is accurate. i watched all the videos but to me they look pretty standard for bikes of this sort. not saying it’s not an issue, just saying that a warped...

    Lectric Defects

    you mention not having much experience with bikes. this is one of the cheapest ebikes on the market except for a few walmart and amazon models. even much more expensive bikes don’t have as precise tolerances as a combustion engine or industrial hydraulics would. is difficult to tell from...

    Lectric Defects

    Have you tried the bike and powered hub with the weight of a rider on the bike? it’s hard to see in the video anything i would characterize as excessive vibration. (could also remove those spoke reflectors if you’re concerned about dynamic wheel balancing) Slime added to tubes could also...

    Tucson, AZ, ban on ebikes riding the Loop

    back on topic. ebike prohibitions or limitations on use on shared trails is largely about perceptions and concerns of either local authorities or the community of trail users or both. the path to regaining or establishing more access or more ideal riding conditions will be a grassroots effort...

    Tucson, AZ, ban on ebikes riding the Loop

    i don’t really think Ken has any idea the difference between fact and opinion, nor the difference between a definition about safe manufacture of a product for retail and the applicable/allowable use of that product. or the legal precedence of states rights over fed guidelines. most states...
