    E-scooter rider BUSTED for operating without licence & insurance

    WTF? Anyone in/on any vehicle can be stopped when DUI. Where do you get this "can't" idea?

    Can anyone suggest a road-tire?

    Here is the linked description: "20x4.0 Speedster, Compatible With Vee Tire Junior Fat Tire Folding Bead TLR Fat Bike 1 or 2 Tires" I don't understand the use of the phrase "compatible with". Does this mean "compatible with (but not actually) Vee Tires"? "fat bike 1 or 2 tires" Does it...

    Bigger Riders on Lectric XP

    I used to have some involvement with human-powered vehicles. and in a reference book "Bicycling Science", it s stressed that on a bike, at even 20mph, air/wind resistance is 80-90% (...or some similar drastic %) of the total drag. Slower is a heck of a lot more efficient! ;-)

    Transporting 2 XP bikes

    Sounds a bit like overkill to me. 5 Moving blankets? One or two doubled(folded)will protect against normal jostling or shifting in the car, unless you are talking bumper-car activity. The foam that the bike comes with, between the folded halves, is what is shown in the photos in my post referred...

    Transporting 2 XP bikes

    Assuming that the HPs are the same ht as the Step-Thrus, the total ht of the bikes-in-totes(64 gal from Lowes) is 29 inches WITH THE STEERING POST W/HANDLEBARS REMOVED. (...still connected by elec. cable!) This should be short enough to fit in any real SUV with the rear seat folded down. See...

    Lectric XP dimensions

    The measurement may not be exactly the same on an XP, but my measure of a Step-Thru, from the top of the seat (receiver) tube to the top of the steering (receiver) tube, center to center, is 25.75 inches. The "working" or practical distance from seat to handlebars will vary, of course, with...

    Video manual? Do the bikes come with a video manual?Key question

    I am visually oriented as well. It helps to remember that something (a manual) that is carefully written(thankfully) requires equally careful reading(!), or the effort ( and it does take effort and thought) of the careful writer is wasted! Ask yourself "Am I sure that I understand what I just...

    Lectric has sold 20k+ bikes in a year, who's sold more?

    Agreed, but when there has not been a "year after year" history to examine, trying to apply a longevity yardstick is a bit premature, no?

    STEP THRU CANCELLED

    Good for you SKR, ...I think this is a good move.:-) Misunderstandings and confusion are rampant these days, with all of us stressed by virus, politics, etc. I really doubt that any offense was intended by the Lectric staff, and I think you will like being a part of this "family". It is a very...

    STEP THRU CANCELLED

    I know you were probably angry when you banged out your original thread title, ...but PLEASE use the edit function to correct the spelling of "STDEP". My brain goes "TilT" every time I see it. Thanks! :-)

    STEP THRU CANCELLED

    Hang in there. We got 2 black Step-Thrus on 9/9. Very nice looking bikes. Ordered 6/17, Order#16550 (changed order from XPs to Step-Thrus 6/24) Thanks, Service Dude, ... but how would these VERY busy people have acted if they DID care? Maybe next time come ask for some discussion before...

    Lectric has sold 20k+ bikes in a year, who's sold more?

    How are longevity metrics applicable,... how can they be fairly applied to a "new" company? Maybe better measure would be sales growth over time. Billion sales 1st week, 3 billion 2nd week, 7billion 3rd week, etc. Compare the growth with other companies at same points on graph, with initial...

    Seat tube 31.8mm dia. vs 31.6mm post dia.

    Great idea, Myers. Thanks for the suggestion. Turns out that the 2 Bike Fridays we already own both have ThudBusters with 27.2 posts. We have ordered 27.2 - 31.8 shims ($9 each from Cane Creek) to do exactly what you (and Nova,)suggest.

    Twitchy with no-hands?

    I saw a post saying that the short handlebars on the XP and Step-Thru make no-hands riding problematic. Comments?

    Video manual? Do the bikes come with a video manual?Key question

    Read pg. 14 (Actually read the whole manual, ... carefully!) The key must be removed or the battery will not come out. There is no video manual with the bikes when delivered. Note: My 2 posts quoted in your last message above are not identical. The one which refers to the "silver button" is...
