    Handlebar diameter at the grips 7/8”?

    Great. Gave you accurate info then. The 3.0 step thru is definitely 22.2. I was a little concerned if you had the xpedition, cargo, peak since those are bigger bikes that Lectric may have put beefier bars on.

    Handlebar diameter at the grips 7/8”?

    22.2 millimeters is how you will see it described in bicycle lingo. It is 7/8" Imperial USA. Santa, also want to welcome you as a new member. It's a good practice to give us an idea of what you are trying to do something like this: "My handle bar grips won't stay in place and I don't like...

    XP-2.0 500w motor

    Just reach out to Lectric. They are very reasonable with prices after warranty and they are known to even replace for no charge after warranty expires under some circumstances. They will send the whole wheel assembly so you won't have to build the wheel and true it. Unless you're a highly...

    New Lectric Xpress

    In my experience with them (6 purchases), they have been the most respectable company I have dealt with in the past 30 years. They are a company that tends to under promise and over deliver a vast majority of the time. They are a U.S. company that does all manufacturing in China and so they do...

    Lectric XP 3.0 folding e-bike pedals

    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".

    XP Lite Owners - Wish you had more power?

    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...

    I ordered Xpeak

    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...

    Lectric One

    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...

    I ordered Xpeak

    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...

    XP Lite Modified

    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.

    XP Lite Modified

    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.

    XP Lite Modified

    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...

    Changing percentage of power within the power assist levels

    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).

    How Many Here Have Rotated the Stem on XP 3?

    new XP2.0

    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.

    XPremium Q's

    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...

    XPremium Q's

    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...

    Clueless Slime question

    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...

    Actual range of XPremium?

    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.
