    Hi Brent, I have an early September shipment. Can you say how this current delay may or may not affect that shipment? Thanks! And thanks for posting.

    Known Issues & Problems with Lectric Cycles Products + Help, Solutions & Fixes

    There is a discussion of the Lectric XP here: https://electricbikereview.com/forums/threads/lectric-xp.28319/ I should also mention that Lectric Cycles is not the same as Lectric Bikes. Lectric Cycles specializes in conversion kits. Lectric Bikes does the Lectric XP and Lectric LX. To my...

    Lectric XP

    Despite these shipping issues I am reading here, I took the plunge as well. I am not in any tremendous hurry, but unusual circumstances have meant I had to pass off my Rad Mini to one of my sons to solve a transportation dilemma, so the Lectric will be replacing it. In the meantime, I ride my...

    Lectric XP

    Their marketing strategy seems to be finding popular Youtube personalities living full-time in RVs, vans, etc., and letting them use the bikes and hopefully get them to do a video. In one case they actually gave one of their bikes to vanlife guru Bob Wells. At $899 pre-order, it seems to be a...

    Folding E-Bike Suggestions

    Let me recommend to you the Folding Electric Bike category on the EBR website. Just about every folding ebike you can name is there (except the Veego, which is located in Florida where Court hasn't quite been to yet). As @Katysax says, it would also help to give us more information in terms of...

    eBikes? Or eMopeds?

    Thanks for all your thoughts. It will be interesting to see how all of this plays out in the expanding world of EV transportation of all types.

    eBikes? Or eMopeds?

    I think you've hit the nail on the head in terms of the issues surrounding ebikes v emopeds. I am a long-time advocate of trying to get people out of their cars and into alternative methods of transportation for those 8-mile average rides. Two things hold this notion back. One, of course, is...

    eBikes? Or eMopeds?

    Thanks for these links. The Ubco bike seems very intriguing, but the price tag - woof. An ATV with two wheels!

    eBikes? Or eMopeds?

    Perhaps I was not clear enough in my use of the word "recent." I would correct myself to say that the phenomenon of mass-marketed and mass-produced ebikes available to the average consumer is recent in the US. Like any new technology, ebikes have a much longer history of pioneers and inventors...

    eBikes? Or eMopeds?

    True enough, but not everyone lives in an apartment. Many people in smaller cities of 50-300K population live in single-family homes or perhaps duplexes, and have garages for storage. These eMopeds are probably targeted more at that market, I would imagine.

    eBikes? Or eMopeds?

    Simply because 1. I am curious as to what others on this forum might think of this technology. 2. They share the fact that they are run via electric motors and batteries, and 3. I am interested to see what electric bike owners think of this relatively new technology in terms of its impact on...

    eBikes? Or eMopeds?

    In perusing some of the conversations on other threads, I have picked up on the issue concerning the Class 1-2-3 system and the concerns involving the top speed of ebikes on bike paths and on the roads. People ride ebikes for many different reasons. I, for one, within the past 18 months have...

    Another twist to throttle vs PAS ebikes....Comments wanted...

    I have believed in the value of low-powered (i.e. below 30MPH) two-wheeled throttle transportation since I bought my first Puch moped in 1976. The motor was a two-stroke gas engine, and the pedals were pretty much useless. So naturally I used it in throttle mode exclusively. Since then I've...

    First ebike for a heavy person

    If you can hold out, the Blix Packa looks like it will be a major addition to the cargo bike space. 400 lb. weight limit, but its size is more like a standard bike than a traditional cargo bike. Apparently it won't be available for shipping until July, but you can pre-order. $2,000 is the asking...

    What's up with Surface 604?

    With due respect, in defense of Court, he is reviewing a product, not a company. In all fairness to @Court, he tries to give people some information on the company, and often we see him reviewing the bikes with the company CEO present, even going into their factories and warehouses. But when a...

    What's up with Surface 604?

    @Court is not likely to reply directly to this thread, as he's a pretty busy guy, and I don't think monitors every forum. When he recommended this bike it had a lot of things going for it (torque sensor, hydraulic disc brakes) that made it a good buy. A dealer I would recommend you contact, who...

    What's up with Surface 604?

    FWIW I was talking to a former dealer of Suface604 bikes (I own a Rook) in Lacey WA, and he has dropped their line because he heard from one of the co-founders that the guy left the company for "ethical reasons." It's his opinion that the beancounters have taken over and that they are trying to...
