    Pedal assist on XP Lite working correctly?

    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.

    Pedal assist on XP Lite working correctly?

    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...

    Lectric XP Lite first impressions (I'll update this after I ride)

    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...

    How to correct the speedometer on a 2.0

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

    How to correct the speedometer on a 2.0

    Once the motor reaches a max rpm the controller shuts off power. That max rpm is close to 28mph using the stock wheels. Changing P06 just changes the mph display number so the higher number you put in the computation will assume that you travel further each revolution so it will show faster...

    How to correct the speedometer on a 2.0

    Elevation has no effect on distance or time (miles per hour). You got robbed on your science education lol. Bike tire size is totally weird. The size given to a tire is based on the first outer diameter tire size to go on a particular rim size. The fist 20" tire was for children's bikes so...

    Lectric 2.0 motor and hills. Going, going...gone?

    Definitely not pushing the motor very hard. It's great that you are close enough to have them look at it in person. I've noticed that the desk jockey customer support techs are not very well trained or maybe lack experience in troubleshooting issues with the bikes. They seem to just guess at...

    Lectric 2.0 motor and hills. Going, going...gone?

    What is your go to PAS level typically used? Although it's counter intuitive, increasing PAS on hills to maintain speed is hard on the motor and stresses the motor gears. Having said that, there is no reason that the motor should fail with only 600 miles. I'm at 5400, and if anything, the motor...

    Display quit working, Lectric 2.0 XP?

    I would put money on the controller. If not, then the battery has an issue with the B.M.S. and need to replace the battery. It behaves like it has a dead battery which is almost impossible with the high quality cells Lectric uses so the battery management system (BMS) thinks it ran out of...

    Speed setting - can only choose 32 or 100

    If it will only let you select 32 (20mph) or 100 (28mph because of the 28mph limit) then there was a change to the software in an attempt to make it simpler. Not how I would have done it but likely due to the nature of programming geeks thinking in a different way than us average Joe's (or...

    Speed setting - can only choose 32 or 100

    Remember that it's metric 28 miles an hour is 45 kilometers per hour. Set it to anywhere from 45 or higher for class 3 28mph it will not go any higher than 28 mph no matter how high you set it.

    Lectric Battery and charger

    I have two bikes. First one came everything in one box, last one came bike & charger together, battery separate. Ordered a spare battery that did not include a charger. You should be fine.

    XP 2.0 Aftermarket Replacement Cranks?

    After a search on this and reddit forums your issue seems to be an anomaly as I could not find anyone else with the same issue. I understand having this problem would cause you concern with the OEM quality. I've got around 6500 miles on my Lectric and other than worn brake pads, tires, drive...

    Leave the key in?

    I leave my key in except when folding the bike. Too many reports of key breaking when folding the bike.

    20"x3.00" road tire recommendation for XP 2.0?

    Rad Ebikes sells the CST Big Boat 20X3 and Kenda 20x3.3 K-rad both are a good compromise. I was able the get the Kenda Kraze from them in a 3.25 but don't see it on their site in the 3.25, it's available in a 4.25 though. The Kraze is a slick tread and quiet as a mouse but your hub motor will...

    20"x3.00" road tire recommendation for XP 2.0?

    Actually, Rad Ebikes sells the 20x3.25 Kenda Kraze I switched to and they have been super. The rim on the XP 1.0 is just the slightest bit wide to drop to a 3" tire so the 3.25 fits nicely. Supposedly Kenda beefed up the tire for the Rad labeled version. Rad sells it for less than I could...
